RE: Continental American Transportation, Inc.
Commission File No. 0-18279
Form 12b-25 re Form 10-KSB for Fiscal Year Ended
June 30, 1997
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 0-3 of the General Rules and Regulations promulgated
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), attached
hereto for filing please find one (1) conformed signature copy of Form 12b-25
submitted herewith for filing pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Act.
PART III - NARRATIVE
Please be advised that Continental American Transportation, Inc., its
directors and officers, recently cooperated with Federal authorities in a
criminal investigation. As part of this cooperation, Federal authorities
retained material portions of Registrant's records deemed to be vital to a
financial audit and preparation of Form 10-KSB, which documents were seized by
Federal authorities on June 6, 1997. These documents have been only recently
returned to Registrant. In addition, Registrant expects to retain new
independent auditors to prepare the audit of Registrant's financial records for
its fiscal year ended June 30, 1997. Accordingly, Registrant will be unable to
complete Form 10- KSB on or before September 29, 1997, without incurring
unreasonable expense and enduring unreasonable burdens in the preparation
thereof.
PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION
(3) Please be advised that Registrant expects a loss which materially
exceeds the loss reported at June 30, 1996. The increase in the loss is the
result of substantial management and operational reorganization and
restructuring and is not quantifiable at this time.
Registrant hereby undertakes to file the subject Form 10-KSB on or
before October 14, 1997.
Very truly yours,
CONTINENTAL AMERICAN TRANSPORTATION, INC.
