The Registrant has been unable to file its Form 10-K for the year ended
June 30, 1998 or to obtain certified financial statements for that period. The
Registrant anticipates filing its complete Form 10-K before November 30, 1998. A
number of events subsequent to June 30, 1998 have complicated those financial
statements. The Registrant has consequently been unable to provide the financial
information required under Item 1 of Form 10-Q. No information is specifically
required to be reported by the other items of Form 10-Q, other than Exhibits
required by Item 601 of Regulation S-K.
The Registrant is also currently seeking a loan to provide cash (i) to
complete its Surinam Casino which, upon completion, is expected to provide
additional cash flow to the Registrant, (ii) to pay some of the Registrant's
current debt, and (iii) to provide working capital.
The Registrant is and has been involved in complex transactions during
and after the most recent fiscal year, some of them outside the U.S. Some of
them have complex adverse effects from the "Asian Crisis" and other
circumstances, and thus require complex evaluation.
The Registrant changed accountants in early 1998, largely because its
former accountants did not have the capacity to serve the Registrant's new and
prospective international business.
In July 1998 the Registrant elected a new President, CEO and COO.
In May the Company retained a new General Counsel.
As a consequence of the foregoing and other intense activity, and
despite intense effort and additional expense, the Registrant's senior
management and staff has been unable timely to compile current, complete,
reliable and verified data. Accordingly the Registrant's Form 10-Q could not be
filed within the prescribed time and Registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule
12b-25(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
