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, 11-K or Form N-SAR, or portion thereof will be filed on or

date; and
[ ] (c) The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c)

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 portion thereof could not be filed
within the prescribed period.
The Registrant is not in compliance with the terms of its credit agreement with
its lender. Negotiations with the Lender to amend the credit agreement are near
completion but have not been concluded. The Registrant wishes to have the
amendment finalized prior to filing its Form 10-K because the Registrant needs
access to funds under the credit agreement to finance its 2000 operating
activities. The currently proposed terms of the amendment to the credit
agreement are not expected to materially affect the Registrant's financial
position or results of operations.
