                             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.)

      |_| (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-K, 10-KSB, 20-F, 11-K or Form N-SAR, or portion thereof will be filed
on or before the 15th  calendar day following  the  prescribed  due date; or the
subject quarterly report or transition  report on Form 10-Q,  10-QSB, 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 Forms 10-K, 10-KSB, 11-K,
20-F, 10-Q, 10-QSB,  N-SAR or the transition report portion thereof could not be
filed within the prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if needed.)

      The  registrant  is unable  to  complete  and file the Form  10-Q  without
unreasonable effort or expense by the due date because we have not yet finalized
our Form 10-Q for the  quarter  ended  October  29,  2005 and  accordingly,  our
independent  registered public accounting firm has not completed their review of
the interim financial  information and their procedures with respect to the Form
10-Q.

      (2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) or
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,

                                                                  |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?
                                                                  |_| Yes |X| No

      If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated  change,  both narratively
and  quantitatively,  and,  if  appropriate,  state the reason why a  reasonable
