ATTACHMENT TO FORM 12b-25
Form 20-F Transition Report for the period from
May 1, 2001 to December 31, 2001
PART III - NARRATIVE
The Registrant is unable to file its transition report on Form 20-F for the
period from May 1, 2001 to December 31, 2001 because Registrant is experiencing
a delay in preparation of the transition report due to the fact that several of
Registrant's senior executives and directors, including the chief executive
officer, chief financial officer and all of the management directors, recently
resigned. The new management and the two remaining independent directors are in
the process of collecting all of the necessary information for the transition
report. The Form 20-F will be filed as soon as reasonably practicable and in no
event later than the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date.
