- ----------------         -----------   -----------------------
(Name)                   (Area Code)   (Telephone Number)

(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the

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 [ ]

                                       2


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.

      During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the Registrant changed from a
      development stage company to the owner and operator of four hospital
      facilities in Orange County, California. The acquisition of the four
      hospitals was completed on March 8, 2005. Therefore, the Registrant's
      results of operations for the third quarter of 2005 will include the
      operating results of the hospitals for the period from their acquisition
      through September 30, 2005, which are not reflected in the Registrant's
      results for the corresponding period in 2004.
