unreasonable effort or expense,  its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three
months  ended  June  30,  2001  (the  "Quarterly  Report")  because  due  to the
additional time and resources  required to consolidate the financial  statements
of the Registrant's hotel property located in Louisville, Kentucky (the "Hotel")
into the  Registrant's  financial  statements,  the Registrant and its financial
advisors have not been able to complete the  Quarterly  Report.  Therefore,  the
Registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b).
