Please Print or Type. Nothing in this form shall be construed to imply that the Commission has verified any information contained herein. If the notification relates to a portion of the filing checked above, identify the Item(s) to which the notification relates: ___________________________________________________________________________ PART I -- REGISTRANT INFORMATION Federal Security Protection Services, Inc. Full Name of Registrant ___________________________________________________________________________ Former Name if Applicable 1616 Warren Ave, Suite 34 Address of Principal Executive Office (Street and Number) Cheyenne, WY 82003 City, State and Zip Code 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) (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 report on Form 10-Q, or 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) has been attached if applicable. 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 portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period. While the 10K document in question was ready for filing on the afternoon of June 1st, 2002, I (Daniel Thornton) was unable to file it electronically because of unusual circumstances that relate to both technical issues which could not be resolved quickly, and the fact that I am the only one available to facilitate such filings. It is still uncertain as to the exact problem that prevents this filing to be facilitated, but to the best of my knowledge, we may be required to purchase an older version of a word processor, which the company is unable to provide in a manner that would have allowed me to file the 10K in question on time. Additionally, this may or may not solve the problem since I was able to facilitate other filings previously with the same version of Microsoft Word. I have been in contact with "filer's support" and they have provided suggestions that also require time to try or implement. The technical support person thought the most likely solution was to turn off the "Auto Format" and/or auto correct portion of the software. It is possible to correct this problem manually, by re-typing the entire document, which we considered was unreasonably burdensome considering the size and financial capability of the company. I therefor respectfully request that additional time be granted in order to obtain the proper resources to either fix this problem, or to allow the company the time necessary to seek or hire persons who are considered experts in the EDGARization of documents, who may be able to file them on our behalf without having to resolve the issues that may be preventing us from filing on time. PART IV-- OTHER INFORMATION (1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification Daniel Thornton (Name) 303 (Area Code) 433-0136 (Telephone Number) (2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s). [X]Yes No _______________________________________________________________ (3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? Yes [X]No If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
