Item 8. Other Events
------------
Although the Registrant believed that it would be able to complete and file its
Annual Report on Form 10-K within the fifteen day extension period when it filed
for extension, it now appears that despite diligent and good faith efforts, the
Registrant is going to be unable to file its Annual Report within the extension
period. As detailed in the Registrant's Form NT-10K, the Registrant has yet to
complete its Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto to be
included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K. This has occurred due to a variety
of factors including but not limited to the fact that on January 14, 2004, the
Registrant changed its independent accountants. As a result, the Registrant
currently needs to obtain the consent of its predecessor accountant. The
Registrant is working diligently with its independent accountants to complete
its Audited Consolidated Financials Statements and will file promptly upon the
receipt of consent from both accounting firms.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
