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 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, semi-annual report, transition report on
Form 10-K, 20-F, 11-K or N-SAR, or portion thereof, will be filed on
or before the 15th calendar day following the prescribed due date; or

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 or portion thereof, could not be filed within
the prescribed time period.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") is currently reviewing
amendments made to the Registrant's Form S-1 Registration Statement under the
Securities Act of 1933 ("Form S-1"). The Registrant filed its amended Form S-1
with the SEC on March 19, 1998 and the Registrant reasonably expects to receive
any further comments from the SEC pertaining to its Form S-1 within two (2)
weeks time. The Registrant believes that the public interest in disclosure is
served by, if possible, incorporating its responses to any further SEC comments
into the Form 10-K so that the information and disclosures contained in its
Form 10-K are as current and complete as possible at the time it is filed.
Because the Registrant is awaiting further comments, if any, from the SEC,
the inability to timely file its Form 10-K could not be eliminated. Since the
amendment to the Registrant's Form S-1 contains substantially the same
information and disclosures (including the Registrant's audited financial
statements as of December 31, 1997) as would be contained in its Report on Form
10-K, an extension of the time in which to file its Report on Form 10-K will not
deprive the public of any material information regarding the Registrant. The
Registrant will file its Form 10-K no later than the fifteenth calendar day
following the prescribed due date.
PART IV
