RULE 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),

(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, 10-KSB, 20-F, 11-K or Form N-SAR,

[X] (c) The accountant's statement or other exhibit required

PART III
NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K,
10-KSB, 11-K, 20-F, 10-Q, 10-QSB, N-SAR or the transition report
portion thereof could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
(Attach extra sheets if needed).
The Registrant is unable to file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q
within the prescribed time because it did not receive a draft of the
financials from its accountants until today's date and in order to
prepare the quarterly report, the company's legal counsel, together
with the management of the company, must have the opportunity to
reconcile the financials obtained for the period ended September 30,
2000 from the Registrant's independent auditors. While management of
the Registrant does not believe that there will be material changes
to the filed version of the quarterly report, which will be made on
or before the 15th calendar day following the date this report was to
be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, nevertheless the
Registrant and its legal counsel need more time to obtain all relevant
documentation, including from certain third parties, necessary to
complete the quarterly report. If the Registrant were not to receive
an extension of the time to file this quarterly report it would cause
it to be subjected to unreasonable effort and expense. A copy of a
letter from our legal counsel is attached to this Form pursuant to
Section 12b-25(c).
