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
|X| 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 - NARATIVE
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.
The Registrant's Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 1996,
cannot be filed within the prescribed time period because due to the
Registrant's subsidary's initial public offering effected during the quarter, as
a result of which the Registrant is no longer the sole stockholder of such
subsidary, the Registrant's reporting, disclosure and presentation requirements
are more complex. The Registrant is completing its research with respect to
such requirements to insure a fair presentation of the financial statements.
The Registrant believes that the required financial information cannot be
provided prior to the prescribed due date for the Form 10-Q without unreasonable
effort or expense. The Registrant intends to file the Form 10-Q no later than
February 19,1997, which is the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due
date of February 14, 1997.
PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION
(1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this
notification.

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 report(s) been
filed? If answer is no, indentify 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 of the results cannot be made.
