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 before the fifteenth calendar day
following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly
report of 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 Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K,
10-Q, N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed
within the prescribed time period. (Attach Extra Sheets if Needed)
The Company is in ongoing discussions with the Division of Corporate
Finance regarding the appropriateness of the Company's consolidation of its
principal subsidiary. Depending on the outcome of those discussions, the
Company may be required to restate its financial statements for certain
periods. These discussions involve complex legal and accounting issues and
no amount of additional effort or expense by the Company would allow the
Company to file the Form 10-K by the prescribed date, and still minimize the
risk of restatement of its accounts shortly after filing. The Company will
in any case file its Annual Report on Form 10-K within fifteen days of the
prescribed due date.

of operations from the corresponding period for the last
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.
