PART II -- RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)
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-K, Form 20-F, 11-K or Form N-SAR, 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-Q, 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 reason why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR or the transition report portion thereof could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
The registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 could not be filed by the prescribed due date of September 28, 2009 because registrant had not yet finalized its financial statements for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2009 and the audit of registrant's 2009 financial statements is ongoing. The delay is due in part to the limited staff and other resources of the registrant available to prepare the report within the prescribed time period. Accordingly, the registrant is unable to file such report within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense. The registrant anticipates that the subject annual report will be filed on or before October 13, 2009.
PART IV -- OTHER INFORMATION
| (1) | Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification |
| | ARTHUR BARCHENKO, CEO | | (973) | | 574-8555 |
| | (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 o 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? |
| | |
| | o Yes x No |
If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reason why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
For the year ended June 30, 2008, the registrant had revenues of $2,916,410 and a net loss of $963,558. For the year ended June 30, 2009, the registrant currently estimates that it had revenues of approximately $3,473,000 and a net loss of approximately $789,000. Results for the 2009 fiscal year remain subject to further adjustment.
This increase in revenues in fiscal 2009 is primarily attributable to an increase in private sector purchases. The decrease in gross margins for fiscal 2009 is primarily attributable to a change in the order mix of equipment sales and design and engineering support services.
This Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 contains forward-looking statements, including forward-looking statements relating to the Registrant's financial results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. These statements are based on management's current expectations and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including risks described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Registrant's actual results may differ materially from the Registrant's anticipated or expected results and the results in the forward-looking statements.
