City, State and Zip Code: Los Angeles, CA 90025
PART II. RULES 12b25(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.
[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, portion thereof
will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following

date; and
(c) The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule

PART III. NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K and Form 10-KSB,
20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, or N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof could
not be filed within the prescribed time period.
The Registrant has encountered unexpected difficulties in compiling certain
information to be included in the Registrant's Form 10-KSB and the information
compiled to date is not complete enough to provide meaningful disclosure.
PART IV. OTHER INFORMATION
(1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this
notification
Andrea D. Kantor (212) 230-9516
(Name) (Area Code) (Telephone No.)
(2) Have all other periodic reports required under section 13 or 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange 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 statement to be included in the
subject report of portion thereof? [X] Yes [ ] 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.
As a result of the change in fiscal year of the Registrant from July 31 to
December 31 and the acquisition of Avenue Pictures, Inc. that occurred effective
September 30, l996, comparisons to periods in the last fiscal year are not
meaningful, however, the Registrant's loss from operations in the fourth quarter
of 1997 is expected to be greater than the Registrant's loss from operations for
the third quarter of 1997.
