PART III — NARRATIVE

 

State below in reasonable detail 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. (Attach extra sheets if needed.)

 

We determined that we were unable to file our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 by the May 15, 2013 due date.

 

We are not able to file a timely Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, because we have not completed required financial statements for previous reporting periods.  In July 2012, we determined that our  consolidated financial statements contained in our annual reports on Form 10-K for the periods ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2011 and quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2012  may no longer be relied upon.  More information regarding such non-reliance can be found in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 17, 2012.  Further, in December 2012, we determined that our consolidated financial statements contained in our annual reports on Form 10-K for the periods ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2009 may no longer be relied upon.  More information regarding such non-reliance can be found in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 28, 2012.
