    (Name)                  (Area Code)       (Telephone Number)

         (2) Have all other periodic reports required under section 13 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

                  The earnings statements of the Company to be included in the
                  Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997, as compared to
                  the corresponding period in 1996, are expected to reflect a
                  49% decrease in net income. The decrease was primarily due to
                  a decrease in the price of natural rubber, excess supply
                  attributable to an influx of imported natural rubber, and a
                  weak consumption market.
