                                     PART II
                            RULE 12-b 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.)

         (a) The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form
         could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;

[ X ]    (b) The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on
         Form 10-K,  20-F,  11-K or Form N-SAR, or portion thereof will be
         filed on or before the 15th calendar day  following  the  prescribed
         due 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, 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.)

         The Registrant is unable to file its Form 10-QSB within the prescribed
time period without unreasonable effort or expense due to the fact that it is in
the process of preparing and integrating international operating information
into statements for the current nine month period. The Registrant anticipates
that it will file its Form 10-QSB within the five-day grace period provided by
Exchange Act Rule 12b-25.

                                     PART IV

         (2) Have all other periodic  reports required under Section 13 or 15(d)
of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment  Company
Act of 1940 during the  preceding 12 months or for such shorter  period that the
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?

                                  [  ] Yes  [ X ]  No

         If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both
