PART II -- RULE 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 appropriate box.)
|_| | (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, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR,
| or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the

| 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 why the Form 10-K, 11-K, 20-F 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 principal cause of our failure to timely file our Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the period ended November 30, 2000 is that
the person responsible for preparing the report and related financial statements has also been responsible for undertaking all steps
necessary to locate, negotiate and draft all documentation to complete a bridge financing which was closed on December 21, 2000, and
to finalize the discontinuance of operations of the Registrant's Canadian subsidiary. As a result of these disruptions, additional
time is required to compile and present the unaudited financial statements to the Registrant's auditors and we will be unable to
complete the preparation of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB in time for the January 15, 2001 deadline without unreasonable
effort or expense.
