This Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2006, could not be filed within the prescribed period because the Company has changed the nature of its business so as to cease to be a business development company and has changed the nature of its business focus from investing, owning, holding, or trading in investment securities toward that of an operating company intending to pursue a business model whereby it would provide merchant banking-type services to small, private companies seeking to become publicly held and traded, whose focus will be developing a viable investment business plan. In this regard, in May 2006, the Company filed Form N-54C with the Commission, giving notification that it has withdrawn its election to be subject to sections 55 through 65 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), pursuant to section 54(c) of the Act. Accordingly, the Company's management requires additional time to complete the extensive disclosures required with respect to this significant change.
