PART III
NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 11-K, 20-F, 10-Q,
N-SAR or the transition report portion thereof could not be filed within the
prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if needed.)
There are significant changes in results of operations of the Registrant
from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year that will be reflected in
the Registrant's earnings statements due to the discontinuation of the
Registrant's operations and its efforts to liquidate, wind up and dissolve its
business. The Registrant is unable to quantitatively estimate the impact such
changes in results of operations as the Registrant is currently working through
outstanding issues with its independent accountants.
As a result of various factors beyond the Registrant's control, including
its efforts to properly liquidate, wind up and dissolve, the Registrant will not
be able to file its Form 10-Q by the prescribed time without unreasonable effort
and expense. The Registrant will file its Form 10-Q within the time period
permitted by Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
PART IV
