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

PART III - NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-KSB, 11-K, 10-QSB,
N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed with the
prescribed time period. (Attach Extra Sheets if Needed)
In the beginning of July, 2000, the Registrant changed its certifying
accountants from Andersen, Andersen & Strong, L.C. to Richard E. Eisner &
Company, LLP ("Eisner"), which change was reported on the Registrant's Current
Report on Form 8-K dated July 14, 2000.
Due to the change to Eisner, the Registrant was unable to timely file its Form
10-KSB for the year ending March 31, 2000 (the "2000 Form 10-KSB"), and is still
in the process of finalizing the 2000 Form 10-KSB. As a result, the
Registrant has been unable to complete the preparation of its unaudited
consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 (the
"Second Quarter Financial Statements"), and is unable to file its Quarterly
Report on Form 10-QSB in a timely manner without unreasonable effort or expense.
Therefore, the Registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b).

(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment
Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter
period that the registrant was required to file such reports been
filed? If answer is no identify report(s). [ ] Yes [X] No
The Registrant has not filed the 2000 Form 10-KSB.
(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? [X] Yes [ ] No
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 Registrant expects to report a net loss of approximately $1,445,000
for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 compared to net income of $4,000
for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. This change is due primarily to
the non-cash compensation charge of $2,080,000 and consulting fees of
$120,000 incurred in the quarter ended June 30, 2000, which was
partially offset by the gain realized on the sale of securities of
approximately $1,139,000 during such quarter.
