Part II-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, 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;

     (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)

Part III-Narrative
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

     The quarterly report on Form 10-Q could not be filed within the prescribed
time period because the Company is in the process of finalizing its quarterly
financial statements as well as the supporting documentation related thereto.
Accordingly, the Company needs additional time to complete the disclosure in the
quarterly report on Form 10-Q as required under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934.
