If the subject report could not be filed without  unreasonable effort or expense
and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should

     (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

Part III - Narrative

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

The Langer  Biomechanics Group, Inc. (the "Company") does not currently employ a
Chief Financial  Officer or controller.  As a result,  there has been a delay in
the  completion of the Company's  financial  statements.  A new Chief  Financial
Officer is expected to begin employment in mid-June, 1999.

Part IV - Other Information

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     (1) Name and  telephone  number  of  person  to  contact  in regard to this
notification:

                                Daniel J. Gorney
                                 (516) 667-1200

     (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  twelve months or for such shorter  period that the
registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed?  If the answer is no,
identify report(s).

                                [X] Yes       [ ] No

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

                                [X] Yes       [ ] No

     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.

          While the  Company  anticipates  that there will not be a  significant
change in net sales or net income for the fiscal  year ended  February  28, 1999
("Fiscal 1999") from the fiscal year ended February 28, 1998 ("Fiscal 1998"), it
does expect that income from operations will be significantly lower than that of
the  prior  fiscal  year.  This  is due in  part to  balance  sheet  adjustments
associated with the  installation of new computer system.  In addition,  general
and  administrative  costs  increased  in Fiscal  1999 over  Fiscal  1998 due to
severance  payments  to the former  Chief  Executive  Officer  and the  expenses
associated with recruiting a replacement.
