                             RULE 12b-25 (b) AND (c)

                                    PART III
                                    NARRATIVE


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

     As previously disclosed in North American Galvanizing & Coatings, Inc.'s
(the "Company") Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 2, 2005, the Company
recently completed the acquisition of certain hot-dip galvanizing assets located
in Canton, Ohio from Gregory Industries, Inc. (the "Acquisition"). As a result
of the significant management resources committed to the negotiation and closing
of the Acquisition, the Company was not able to complete its financial
statements and accompanying footnotes in sufficient time to allow for a review
of such items by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm
within the 90 day filing period applicable to non-accelerated filers. Such items
could not have been completed without unreasonable effort or expense on the part
of the Company. The Company intends to file its Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2004 on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the
prescribed due date.


                                     PART IV

                 (Name)                            (Area Code)(Telephone Number)

     (2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act
of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the
registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If the answer is no,
identify the report(s).

                                 |X| Yes |_| No


     (3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in the 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

of the results cannot be made.
