PART I
REGISTRANT INFORMATION

FORMER NAME:
ADDRESS OF PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICE (STREET AND NUMBER):
55 JOHN STREET, 2ND FLOOR
CITY, STATE AND ZIP CODE: NEW YORK, NY 10038
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, 10-KSB, 20-F, 11-K or Form N-SAR, or portion thereof will be filed on
or before the 15th calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the
subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q, 10-QSB, or portion
thereof will be filed on or before the 5th calendar day following the prescribed
due date; and
/ / (c) The accountants statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c)
has been attached if applicable.
PART III NARRATIVE
<PAGE> 2
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K and 10-KSB, 20-F,
11-K, 10-Q and 10-QSB, N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof could
not be filed within the prescribed period.
Due to a change in the registrant's certifying accountants as previously
reported on Form 8-K, and the additional time required to ensure the accuracy
and completeness of the process following the transition from the registrant's
prior certifying accountants, the preparation and review of the registrant's
third quarter financial information has been delayed despite the registrant's
efforts.
The Company is therefore unable to timely file its quarterly report on Form
10-QSB without unreasonable effort and expense and seeks relief under Rule
12b-25(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company intends to file
its Form 10-QSB on or before November 20, 2000.

1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the
registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If the answer is no,
identify report(s). / X / Yes / / No
(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results 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:
/ / Yes / X / No
If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and
quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate
