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)

/X/   (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 date; or the subject quarterly report of transition

PART III - NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 
N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within 
the prescribed time period.

     The Registrant cannot file its annual report on Form 10-KSB at this time
without unreasonable effort or expense.  Due to issues related to the proposed
merger of the Registrant with a wholly-owned subsidiary of a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Oak Technology, Inc., the Registrant has not yet finalized its 
Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997.
