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)
(a) The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form
could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;
(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 before the fifteenth calendar day following the
prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition
report on Form 10-Q, or portion thereof will be filed on or before
the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and
(c) The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-
25(c) has been attached if applicable.
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 the transition report or portion
thereof could not be filed within the prescribed period.
For the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Company was required to file its Form
10-Q with respect to such fiscal quarter on or before August 14, 1996. The
Company was unable to complete its Form 10-Q for such fiscal quarter because of
delays in completing the preparation of its unaudited financial statements as of
and for the quarter ending on June 30, 1996, which comprise Part I of its Form
10-Q. Such delays are primarily due to additional time required to complete the
Company's audit for the year ended March 31, 1996 and unaudited financial
statements for the quarter ended June 30, 1996. These delays could not be
eliminated without unreasonable effort and expense.
Since the Company could not complete its financial statements for Part I, it
also could not complete the narrative portions comprising Part II of its Form
10-Q.
PART IV---OTHER INFORMATION
(1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this
notification.

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results
of operations from the corresponding period for the last [X] Yes [_] No
fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements
to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
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.
The Company had net income of $153,100 for the three months ended June 30,
1995, and expects to report a significant net loss for the corresponding
three months ended June 30, 1996 of approximately $160,000. This net loss
was primarily attributable to a reduction in sales.
