                                     PART II
                             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 box if appropriate.)

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

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

                                    PART III
                                    NARRATIVE


         State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 11-K, 20-F,
10-Q, N-SAR, or the transition report portion thereof could not be filed within
the prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if needed.)

         The Company closed its acquisition of American Household, Inc. (the
"AHI Acquisition") on January 24, 2005. The Company is unable to file its
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the "Quarterly Report") within the prescribed
time period because of the significant complexities and additional disclosures
imposed by the AHI Acquisition. Additional time is needed to ensure an accurate
and full completion of the Quarterly Report without unreasonable effort or
expense. The Company does not expect any changes to its previously announced
earnings as filed as an Exhibit to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K,
filed on May 5, 2005.

         The Company expects to file the Quarterly Report on or before the fifth
calendar day following the prescribed due date for filing the Quarterly Report.

                                     PART IV
                                OTHER INFORMATION

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

             Ian G.H. Ashken                  (914)              967-9400
             ---------------                  -----              --------
                 (Name)                    (Area Code)       (Telephone Number)

         (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.

         The Company's results of operations for the quarter ended March 31,
2005 has changed from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year
principally as a result of the American Household business, which was acquired
in January 2005. For more information, see the Company's earnings release which
was released on May 5, 2005 and filed as an Exhibit to the Company's Current
Report on Form 8-K, filed on May 5, 2005.
