Form 12b-25
Part III
As of August 14, 2000, the Registrant has been advised by its newly appointed
independent accountants that they require additional time to complete their
review of the Registrant's second quarter and year-to-date 2000 activity.
(Please refer to the Registrant's Form 8-K, as amended, originally filed July
21, 2000 regarding the change of independent accountants.) The results of their
review, when completed, may impact the content of the financial statements of
the Registrant for the period ended June 30, 2000. Therefore, the Registrant was
unable to file its Form 10-Q on August 14, 2000 without unreasonable effort or
expense. The Registrant expects to file its Form 10-Q on or before August 21,
2000.
Part IV(3)
As noted in Part III above, the Registrant has been advised by its newly
appointed independent accountants that they require additional time to complete
their review of the Registrant's second quarter and year-to-date 2000 activity.
Since the results of their review, when completed, may impact the content of the
financial statements of the Registrant, the Registrant is unable to provide a
reasonable estimate of its expected financial results for the three months and
six months ended June 30, 2000.
