If the notification relates to a portion of the filing

relates:

                    Part I. Registrant Information

Full name of registrant  Vertex Interactive, Inc.
Former name if applicable

Address of principal executive office (Street and number)
                          3619 Kennedy Road

Part II. Rule 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 appropriate box.)

[X ] (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, 20-F, 11-K or Form N-SAR,
         or portion thereof will be filed on or before the 15th
         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 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 is unable to file its Form 10Q within the prescribed time
period as a result of the registrant's being  unable to file its Form 10-K
within the prescribed time period due to the indoctrination of new auditors
for the 2004 fiscal year(as previously disclosed in Form 8K dated October 13,
2003), the need for the new auditors to obtain an understanding of the status
of the liquidation of foreign entities, and the required time it has taken to
obtain the necessary information from the foreign locations. Additionally, as
a result of registrant's efforts to tighten internal controls by way of the
implementation and consolidation of four disparate financial reporting
systems into a single financial reporting system in order to streamline
filing timelines going forward.
