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

PART III - NARRATIVE

         Registrant's deteriorating financial position has required Registrant
to significantly limit both its internal staffing and its use of outside
personnel, including consultants and counsel. At the same time, the individuals
customarily responsible for the preparation and review of Registrant's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB have been required to shift a portion of their attention
and resources to other matters critical to Registrant's business. As a
consequence they have been delayed in completing the preparation of the Report.





PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION

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

                           Thomas F. Hurley, Esq.
                           Hangley Aronchick Segal & Pudlin

                           Telephone:  (215) 496-7056

(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 12 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.

Registrant's net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2003 improved from a
net loss of approximately $925,000 in 2002 to net earnings of approximately
$458,000 in 2003. The increase in net earnings resulted primarily from its
settlement of ongoing litigation relating to Registrant's former affiliate,
Euro-Nocopi, S.A., (reflected in a one-time gain of approximately $909,000)
accompanied by a decrease in legal expenses (from approximately $480,000 to
approximately $87,000) resulting from the ending of the litigation, partially
offset by a decrease in revenues (from approximately $737,000 to approximately
$572,000) and gross margin (from approximately $358,000 to approximately
$259,000)
