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;
[X] (b) The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on
Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K or Form N-SAR, or portion thereof will

prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition

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
thereof could not be filed within the prescribed period.
This extension is required due to the relocation of our corporate headquarters
to Orlando, Florida and the incompatibility of our technical systems with the
offices that contained the information necessary to complete the Form 11K filing
in which we still have business operations. Although we have tried diligently to
make the systems compatible, this incompatibility prohibited the company from
timely filing the Form 11K without undertaking unreasonable effort and expense.
