following should be completed: (Check appropriate box.)

      |X|     (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 on Form 10-KSB will be filed

                     Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

      As a result of the foregoing, the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB
for the year ended May 31, 2001, will not be timely filed.

Part III

      State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-KSB could not be
filed within the prescribed period.

      The preparation of our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year
ended May 31, 2001, will be delayed due to a delay in the year-end closing
process, which is caused by the resignation of Ernst & Young LLP, the Company's
independent auditors, effective July 13, 2001, and the resignation of the
Company's Chief Financial Officer on July 13, 2001.

      As a result of the foregoing, our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the
year ended May 31, 2001, will be completed and filed on or before September 14,
2001.
