If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)
| (a) | The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense; |
x | (b) | The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-KSB, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR, or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-QSB or report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and |
| (c) | The accountant’s statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable. |
PART III — NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 10-KSB, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-QSB, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR or the transition report portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
The registrant has filed this Form 12b-25 to notify the Commission that it is unable to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 (the “Quarterly Report”) by the prescribed date. The principal reason for the delayed filing is that the registrant requires additional time to complete its assessment and evaluation of the impairment of registrant’s intangible assets, which may result in a non-cash charge for the third quarter ended September 30, 2008. Additional information regarding the registrant’s intangible assets and the reasons for further evaluation are set forth in Item 7.01 of its Current Report on Form 8-K as filed on November 17, 2008, which is incorporated herein by reference. Management has been working diligently to complete its assessment and evaluation of the impairment of the registrant’s int angible assets and expects to file the Quarterly Report within the time allowed by this extension under Rule 12b-25.
