EXHIBIT A

        The Registrant has been in negotiations with its primary lender regarding covenant compliance. Although the Registrant has undertaken reasonable efforts to receive responses from its lender, the unavailability of authorized bank personnel has resulted in a delay in responding to Registrant's requests. As indicated, the bank has not completed its analysis of these requests but has committed to provide responses adequate to the Registrant within the five-day period so that the Registrant can file the Form 10-Q within the prescribed period permitted by Rule 12b-25.
