                        Part II - Rules 12b-25(b) and (c)
                        ---------------------------------

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

[X]     (a)  The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form
could  not  be  eliminated  without  unreasonable  effort  or  expense;

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

will  be  filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due
date;  and

                              Part III - Narrative
                              --------------------

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


Management  was  unable to obtain the business information necessary to complete
the preparation of the Company's financial statements for the three months ended
February  28, 2003 and the review of these financial statements by the Company's
auditors  in time for filing. Such information is required in order to prepare a
complete  filing.  As  a result of this delay, the Company is unable to file its
quarterly  report  on  Form  10-QSB  within  the  prescribed time period without
unreasonable effort or expense. The Company expects to file within the extension
period.
