                                                           X  Yes          No

         (3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of
operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be
reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or
portion thereof?
                                                           X  Yes          No

narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a
reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

         The Company anticipates that the financial statements for the six
months ended December 31, 2001 will show a net loss of approximately $4,800,000
compared to a net loss of $3,576,352 for the six months ended December 31, 2000.
For the three months ended December 31, 2001 the Company anticipates reporting a
net loss of approximately $2,500,000 compared to a net loss of $1,937,693 for
the three months ended December 31, 2000. The loss for the three and six month
periods ended December 31, 2000 is prior to the cumulative effect of an
accounting change and extraordinary item.
