________________________________________________________________________________

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;

[X]      (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;

      following the prescribed due date; and

________________________________________________________________________________

Part III - Narrative

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K and Form 10-KSB,
20-F, 11-K, 10-Q and Form 10-QSB, N-SAR or the transition report or portion

      The financial statements of Universal Money Centers, Inc. (the "Company")
   for fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2002 and Management Discussion and Analysis
   have not yet been completed because the reporting staff have been busy
   addressing operational matters and preparing officer certifications required
   under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

      The above has made completion of the financial statements of the Company
   very complicated, expensive and time consuming.

                                  ATTACHMENT I
                                  ------------

      Revenues will be down by approximately $505,000 for the six months ended
July 31, 2002 in comparison with the same period last year as a result of the
loss of six banking clients during fiscal year ended January 31, 2002. The loss
of revenues has been partially offset by an increase in Company-owned ATMs
placed in other locations. The revenues generated by these newly placed ATMs
only partially offset the loss of revenues because revenues generated from newly
placed ATMs are typically lower than can be expected once the ATM has been in
place for several months. The loss of revenues will also be partially offset by
a reduction in cost of revenues resulting from lower transaction costs, such as
interchange rebates and network processing costs, resulting from the loss of
these banking clients. Costs of revenues decreased by approximately $217,500
when comparing the two periods.

      Attached is the Company's draft Consolidated Statement of Operations for
the three and six months ended July 31, 2002 and July 31, 2001.
