                             RULES 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,  Form 20-F,  Form 11-K,  Form  N-SAR,  or
                  portion  thereof,  will be filed on or  before  the  fifteenth
                  calendar  day  following  the  prescribed  due  date ; or  the
   |X|            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

                                    PART III
                                    NARRATIVE

         State below in reasonable  detail the reasons why the Forms 10-K, 11-K,
20-F, 10-Q,  N-SAR, or the transition  report or portion  thereof,  could not be
filed within the prescribed time period. (Attach Extra Sheets if Needed).

         As reported in its Form 8-K dated December 20, 2000, the registrant has
changed its certifying  accountant.  As a result of information  obtained in the
course of its audit,  the new  certifying  accountant has advised the registrant
that in light of the progress the registrant has made toward the  disposition of
its investments and the winding up of its business,  the registrant should adopt
a liquidation basis of accounting,  effective  December 31, 2000. As a result of
the  work  required  by the  registrant  to  reflect  the  change  in  basis  of
accounting,  the registrant was unable to present final financial  statements to
its present or prior certifying  accountants prior to the date its Form 10-K was
required to be filed.

                                     PART IV
                                OTHER INFORMATION

         (1) Name and  telephone  number of person to  contact in regard to this
notification.

          ------------                  ---                     --------
            (Name)                 (Area Code)            (Telephone Number)

         (2) Have all other periodic  reports required under Section 13 or 15(d)
of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment  Company
Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter  period that the
registrant  was  required to file such  reports)  been  filed?  If answer is no,
identify report(s).

                                                            |X|  Yes     |_|  No

         (3)  Is it  anticipated  that  any  significant  change  in  result  of
operations  from 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?

                                                            |_|  Yes     |X|  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.
