PART III -- NARRATIVE                                                           

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

The  Registrant  was  acquired  by  and  became  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of
NorthWestern  Corporation  ("NOR") on February  15,  2002,  as  disclosed by the
Registrant on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on March 4, 2002. In connection
with such  acquisition  transaction,  the  Registrant  considered  changing  its
accountants  so that the  Registrant  and NOR would  have the same  accountants.
Following  consideration  of various  factors,  including time and expense,  the
Registrant  decided  not  to  change  its  accountants.  As  a  result  of  such
consideration  process,  the Registrant's  accountants had insufficient  time to
conduct a quarterly  review of its  financial  statements  for the quarter ended
March 31,  2002 to be able to  deliver  such  financial  statements  in time for
filing its Form 10-Q by the May 15, 2002  prescribed  due date.  The  Registrant
anticipates filing the Form 10-Q on or before May 20, 2002. Such delay cannot be
eliminated without unreasonable effort and expense of the Registrant.           

PART IV -- OTHER INFORMATION                                                    

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

           Ellen M. Senechal                  406           497-3000

                      (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?                                                              
                                                                 [_] 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.
