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
          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--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 with in 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.
