[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, Form 20-F, 11-K or Form -SAR, or portion
                  thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar
                  following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly
                  report or transition report on Form 10-Q, or portion thereof

                  Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

PART III - NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11- K, 10-Q,
-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the
prescribed time period.

The registrant has completed its basic financial statements for the quarter,
however, it must resolve certain issues before its auditors can complete their
review. Management does not believe that the resolution of the issues will have
a material impact on the company or its financial condition. It is anticipated
that the financial statements and review will be completed in time so as the
quarterly report can be filed within the prescribed extension period.
