If the subject report could not be filed without  unreasonable effort or expense

[X]  (b) The subject annual report,  semi-annual  report,  transition  report on
     Form 10-K, 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

     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 the Form 10-K,  20-F,  11-K,

the prescribed time period. (ATTACH EXTRA SHEETS IF NEEDED)

The  Registrant's  Quarterly  Report on Form 10-QSB for the fiscal quarter ended
June 30, 2000 could not be filed within the  prescribed  time period because the
accounting  statements  could not be prepared  by the  Company  within such time
period due to the inability of the accounting  firm to complete the work,  which
work could not have been completed without unreasonable effort and expense.
