The Registrant has experienced delays in the preparation of its financial statements and related disclosure, and, therefore, the registrant's auditors have experienced delays in the conduct of their audit of the registrant's financial statements. As a result, the Registrant is unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to complete and file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 (the "Annual Report") by March 30, 2004, the prescribed deadline for filing.

(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 of 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?

[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.

The Registrant anticipates that it will report a significant change in its results of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 compared to the prior fiscal year. The Registrant is currently reviewing the accounting treatment of its issuance of options and warrants in 2003. This review may result in a non-cash, pre-tax charge, the magnitude of which cannot be adequately estimated at this time. The charge is not expected to have a net effect on stockholders' equity.
