                             RULES 12B-25(b) AND (c)

      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)


/X/ (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, 11-K 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 or 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 Form 10-K and Form
10-KSB, 11-K, 20-F, 10-Q, 10-QSB, N-SAR or the transition report portion thereof
could not be filed within the prescribed period. (Attach extra sheets if
needed.)


      The Registrant is unable to file the subject report within the prescribed
time period because in the aftermath of the collapse of the World Trade Center
on September 11, 2001, the Registrant's accounting firm has been unavailable,
and the Registrant therefore has been unable to finish the process of compiling
the financial information necessary to complete the financial statements and
other disclosures required in its Form 10-QSB.


                                     PART IV

      (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

earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
