financial  statements  for  the  quarter  ended  September  30,  2005  and  such
consolidated  financial statements have been substantially  completed.  However,
due to delays  associated with the recent change in the registrant's  certifying
accountants,  comments received after the SEC's review of The Company's December
31,  2003  Form  10-K/A,  and  to  a  restatement   resulting  from  the  recent
pronouncement by the SEC regarding  accounting for leases,  the above registrant
has not finalized its  consolidated  financial  statements and is unable to file
its annual report on Form 10-Q for the quarter  ended  September 30, 2005 within
the prescribed period without  unreasonable  effort or expense.
