PART III - NARRATIVE

     State below in reasonable  detail the reasons why the Form 10-K, Form 20-F,
Form  11-K,  Form 10-Q or Form  N-SAR,  or the  transition  report,  or  portion
thereof,  could not be filed within the prescribed period.  (Attach Extra Sheets
if Needed)

     The  registrant  has been working  diligently  to prepare its  consolidated
financial  statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 and such consolidated
financial statements have been substantially  completed.  However, due to delays
associated with last year's change in the registrant's certifying accountants, a
reclassification  of certain  operations  between  continuing  and  discontinued
operations and the sale of five of the  registrant's  Clubs in January 2006, the
above registrant has not finalized its consolidated  financial statements and is
unable to file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31,
2006 within the prescribed period without unreasonable effort or expense.

or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment
Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period
that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If the
answer is no, identify report(s).

                                 { } Yes {X} No

          The registrant has not yet filed its annual report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2005 for the same reasons stated in Part III -
Narrative above.

                  (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?

                                 { } Yes {X} No

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and
quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate
of the results cannot be made.
