unreasonable  effort or  expense,  its  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended March 31, 2001 (the "Annual Report") because due to the time and attention
required of the  Registrant's  management in  connection  with the opening of an
additional  hotel  property for which the  Registrant  is  providing  management
services,  the  Registrant  and its  financial  advisors  have not been  able to
complete the Annual Report.  Therefore,  the Registrant seeks relief pursuant to
Rule 12b-25(b).

     Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act

     The Registrant has not filed by amendment to its Current Report on Form 8-K
     filed July 2, 2001,  the  financial  statements  set forth in Item 7(a) and

     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 Company  anticipates a significant  change in results of operations for
     the fiscal  year ending  March 31,  2001 as  compared  to the seven  months
     ending  March 31, 2000 may occur as a result of the  Company's  sale of its
     hotel  property on May 31, 2000  because the Company  realized a before tax
     profit of approximately $2,856,000 on the sale of the property.
