(Check box if appropriate.) (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 on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, 11-K, Form N-SAR, Form N-CSR [X] or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and (c) The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable. PART III - NARRATIVE State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-K, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period. THE REGISTRANT WAS UNABLE TO FILE THE FORM 10-K IN A TIMELY MANNER WITHOUT UNREASONABLE EFFORT OR EXPENSE BECAUSE MANAGEMENT NEEDS ADDITIONAL TIME TO FINALIZE ITS COMPLETE AND ACCURATE REVIEW OF THE DISCLOSURES IN THE REPORT. IN ADDITION, THE REGISTRANT'S REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM REQUIRES ADDITIONAL TIME TO COMPLETE THE AUDIT OF THE REGISTRANT'S 2005 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE DELAY IN MANAGEMENT'S ABILITY TO COMPLETE ITS REVIEW AND THE DELAY IN THE COMPLETION OF THE AUDIT WERE PRIMARILY DUE TO THE COMPLEXITY OF PREPARING AND AUDITING INFORMATION RELATED TO THE REGISTRANT'S TWO ACQUISITIONS COMPLETED IN 2005.
