State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, N-CSR,
or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the
prescribed time period.
The Registrant files this report for a 15 days extension, from March 31, to
April 15, 2006, for filing its Annual Report on Form 10KSB for the period ended
December 31, 2005. The Registrant will not file its form 10KSB by March 31, 2006
because it will be unable to complete the preparation of its financial
statements by the initial filing date without unreasonable effort or expense in
view of additional work, time and attention required by our independent auditors
to prepare the 2005 Annual report since Anthony C. Dike, our CEO having been
travelling to facilitate the completion of certain material business
transactions will require additional time to prepare and review the annual
report prior to filing. The Registrant anticipate that it will be able
to file the complete Annual Report for 2005 fiscal year on form 10KSB by
