                              PART III. NARRATIVE.

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

         The Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2001 for the
Company could not be filed within the prescribed period because the Company was
unable to complete certain information critical to filing a timely and accurate
report on the internal financial aspects of the Company. Such inability could
not have been eliminated by the registrant without unreasonable effort or
expense.


                                       2







PART IV.          OTHER INFORMATION.

         (1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to
this notification:

                  Douglas E. Jacobson       (818)                902-4100
                  -------------------     -------------      ------------------
                  (Name)                   (Area Code)       (Telephone Number)

         (2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 12 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).

                  [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

        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.

     1.   In August the Company sold its Car Rental Direct subsidiary which
          accounted for approximately 16% of the Company's revenue for the six
          months ended June 30, 2001. This subsidiary will be shown as a
          discontinued operation on Form 10Q for the quarter ended September 30,
          2001. Comparative results for three and nine months ended
          September 30, 2000 will be restated to reflect this discontinued
          operation.

     2.   In the quarter ended September 30, 2001 the Company decided to
          discontinue its Centerlinq operations. Centerlinq accounted for less
          than 1% of the Company's revenue for the six months ended June 30,
          2001. Centerlinq will be shown as a discontinued operation on Form 10Q
          for the quarter ended September 30, 2001.

     3.   In July 2001, the Company issued 4,000,000 warrants to Riverdale, LLC
          in connection with a proposed financing. The Company will take a
          charge of approximately $64 million in connection with the issuance of
          these warrants.
