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 or semi-annual  report/portion  thereof will
          be filed  on or  before  the  fifteenth  calendar  day  following  the
          prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly  report/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)

Part III - Narrative
================================================================================

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

Certain third-party information required to complete the Form 10-KSB is not yet
available.  The  registrant  needs  additional  time  to  gather  this
information.  Consequently, the registrant's Form 10-QSB could not be filed
without unreasonable effort and expense.
