                       RULE 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-25(b), the following should be completed. 
(Check appropriate box.)


          [X]  (a) The reasons described in 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 of Forms 10-K, 10- KSB, 20-F, 11-K or Form N-SAR, 
or portion thereof will be filed on or before the 15th calendar day

                             PART III

                             NARRATIVE

transition report portion thereof could not be filed within the 
prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if needed.)


         The Registrant's quarterly report on Form 10-QSB could not

internal accountant were not completed and made available to the 
Registrant in time for the quarterly report to be filed in a
timely manner.
