                        PART II--RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)

     If the subject report could not be filed without reasonable 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;

     [X]  (b)  The  subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report
          on  Form  10-K,  Form  20-F 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

                               PART III--NARRATIVE

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

     The  Form  10-QSB  could  not  be  filed  within the prescribed time period
because the Company is in the process of completing the financial statements and
related  disclosures  required  by  the  Form. The Company will file the Form no
later then the fifth calendar day referred to above under Part II and as allowed
under  Rule  12b-25  promulgated  under  the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934.

                           PART IV--OTHER INFORMATION

(1)  Name  and  telephone  number  of  person  to  contact  in  regard  to  this
notification

George R. Jensen, Jr.                 610                    989-0340
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Name)                             (Area Code)           (Telephone Number)

(2)  Have  all  other  period  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).
                                                     [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  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  Company  anticipates  that the financial statements for the six months
ended  December 31, 2002 will show an operating loss of approximately $5,500,000
compared  with  an operating loss of approximately $4,200,000 for the six months
ended  December  31,  2001.  For  the  three months ended December 31, 2002, the
Company  anticipates  reporting  an  operating  loss of approximately $2,450,000
compared  to  an operating loss of approximately $2,250,000 for the three months
ended  December  31,  2001. The primary reason for the increase in the operating
loss for the six month period is increased depreciation and amortization charges
of  approximately $800,000 (most of which relates to amortization of capitalized
software)  and  increased  general  and administrative expenses of approximately
$500,000.
