GENERAL KINETICS INCORPORATED
Full Name of Registrant
(ENTER FILER'S ADDRESS)
Address of Principal Executive Office
14130-C Sullyfield Circle
Chantilly, VA 20151
PART II- Rules 12b-25 (b) and (c)
[If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or
expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the
following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)]
The Registrant hereby represents that:
(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 Form 10-K, Form 20-F, 11-K or Form N-SAR, or portion thereof will be
filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due
[X] date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q, or
portion thereof will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following
the prescribed due date; and
(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, 20-F, 11-K,
10-Q, N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof could not be filed
within the prescribed period.]
The Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended February 28, 1997 could not be
filed timely without unreasonable effort and expense due to unexpected
obstacles encountered in connection with the production and finalization of
the Financial Statements for the relevant periods. On March 14, 1997, the
Registrant's Controller, who is normally responsible for the initial
production of such Financial Statements, resigned to accept another
position prior to their preparation. The Registrant then undertook the
preparation of such Financial Statements by other personnel in the absence
of the Controller. After this development, and due to the need to reflect
in these Financial Statements the treatment of discontinued operations
acquired by a third party during the fiscal quarter, the Registrant was
unable to both prepare the Financial Statements and complete an informal
review by the Registrant's auditors in time to assure that the Form 10-Q
would be filed by April 14, 1997. The Registrant anticipates that the final
Form 10-Q will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following that
prescribed due date.

registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If the answer is no,
identify report(s).
[X] Yes [ ] No
(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations
from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by
the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion
thereof?
