PART II

         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 appropriate box.)

         |X|    (a)      The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III
                         of this form could not be eliminated without
                         unreasonable effort or expense;

         |X|    (b)      The subject quarterly report on Form 10-Q will be filed
                         on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the
                         prescribed due date;

         |_|    (c)      The accountant's statement or other exhibit required
                         by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.


PART III

         State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-Q could not be
filed within the prescribed period.

                  The preparation of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
         for the fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2002 was delayed due to the
         Company's inability to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K, as
         noted in our press release dated March 1, 2002 and our filing of Form
         12b-25 on March 1, 2002.

                  As a result of the foregoing, the Company's Quarterly Report
         on Form 10-Q for the period ended February 28, 2002 has not been
         completed. The Company anticipates filing Form 10-Q within the
         extension period provided under Rule 12b-25.


PART IV

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

                        ERIC M. HELLIGE                 (212) 421-4100
                    ---------------------------------------------------------


         (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 twelve
                  months or for such shorter period that the registrant was
                  required to file such report(s) been filed? If the answer is
                  no, identify such reports.

                           Yes |X|                   No |_|



         (3)      Is it anticipated that any significant change in results 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? 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.

                           Yes |_|                   No |X|
