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 appropriate box.)
[ ] (a) The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this

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

PART III
NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 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 Company was unable timely to complete the assembly of necessary
financial data from its many subsidiaries, including subsidiaries whose
operations are being wound down and which maintain diminished staffs. This has
resulted in a delay in the commencement, and therefore the scheduled completion,
of the year-end audit by the Company's independent auditors. The cost which the
Company would have incurred to retain sufficient financial staff to ensure
earlier assembly of auditing data would have impaired the Company's ability to
accomplish its critical goal of lowering operating expenses.

Lit. 160,000,000,000 relating to the sale of the Company's discontinued Maserati
