                                    NARRATIVE

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

         The Registrant is unable to file the subject report in a timely manner
because one of its officers was unexpectedly unavailable to review and sign the
form prior to the deadline. The officer has reviewed and signed the form, and it
is being filed directly after this Form 12b-25 (NT10-K).
