PART I  - REGISTRANT INFORMATION

(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
 |X|   |    Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K or Form N-SAR, or portion thereof
       |    will be filed on or before the 15th calendar day following the

       |    report on Form 10-Q, or portion thereof will be filed on or before

       | (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 and Form
10-KSB, 20-F, 11-K, Form 10-Q and Form 10-QSB, N-SAR or the transition report or
portion thereof could not be filed within the prescribed time period. (Attach
extra sheets if needed.)

         On July 16, 2001 we terminated our relationship with Arthur Andersen
         LLP, who had been our accountants for the past 5 years. We retained BDO
         Seidman LLP to conduct a review of our unaudited financial statements
         for the period ending June 30, 2001. It took longer than anticipated to
         provide BDO with all of the information necessary for BDO to conduct a
         proper review of our financial statements and the related footnote
         disclosures. We expect to complete and file our Quarterly Report on
         Form 10-Q for the period year ended June 30, 2001 prior to the end of
         the extension period.
