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 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;
(b) The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition
report on Form 10-K, 20-F, 11-K or Form N-SAR, or portion
[X] 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 was unable to complete its Quarterly Report on Form 10-
Q for the period ended March 31, 1999 because it has not yet completed its
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1998 and certain other
portions (Items 6, 7, and 7A) of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1998 that are substantially dependent on those
financial statements.
The Registrant's failure to complete the above-mentioned portions of
its Form 10-K has negatively impacted the timely filing of its Form 10-Q
for the period ended March 31, 1999 because (1) the accounting personnel of
the Registrant have been devoting substantially all of their time to
competing the year-end financial statements and (2) certain portions of the
financial statements and MD&A to be contained in the Form 10-Q are
dependent on year-end financial statements. The reasons for the inability of
the Company to file Items 6, 7, 7A and 8 of its Form 10-K are described in its
Form 12b-25 filed with the Commission on April 1, 1999.
The Registrant hopes to complete and file the remaining portions of
its Form 10-K within the next several days and to file the Form 10-Q
shortly thereafter.
