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 Registrant will be unable to file its quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2007 within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense because the Registrant’s Chief Financial Officer resigned during the reporting period and a new Chief Financial Officer was appointed in June 2007. Accordingly, the Registrant requires additional time to complete its financial statements. The Registrant anticipates that it will file its Form 10-QSB for the period ended June 30, 2007 on or before August 20, 2007, and that the Form 10-QSB will be deemed timely filed under SEC rules.
