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

PART III - NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-KSB, 20-F, 11-K,
10-Q, N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed
within the prescribed time period.
In order to survive we were forced to significantly decrease our staff
(which resulted in the loss of all of our full time accounting
personnel) during the second half of our last fiscal year. We have
engaged an outside consultant to help us with accounting matters, but he
is not available to us on a full time basis. Due to our limited
financial resources and the need to confirm all work done by all
personnel no longer with the Company, it will not be possible for us to
complete our Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 by the
date that it is due.
PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION
(1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this
notification.

period that the Registrant was required to file such
reports) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s). [ ]Yes [X]No
The 2003 financial statements included in the
Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for

(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.
