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;

                                    PART III
                                    NARRATIVE

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

The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB could not be timely filed
because the auditors have not had sufficient time to complete their review
process. We fully expect to file the final Form 10-QSB before the time permitted
by this extension.

                                     PART IV
                                OTHER INFORMATION

(2)   Have all other periodic 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 report(s) 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 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.
