                            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.)

   [x]       (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, 20-F, 11-K or
                   Form N-SAR, or portion thereof will be filed on

                   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 12-b-25(c) has been attached if
                   applicable
                                   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  Registrant was unable to complete its Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q,  with
all necessary reviews thereof,  by the filing deadline on November 13, 2001, due
to the unexpected death of the mother of Company's controller. This inability to
file the  Quarterly  Report on a timely  basis  could not be  eliminated  by the
Registrant,  given its present  circumstances,  without  unreasonable  effort or
expense.  The Registrant is,  however,  filing its Quarterly  Report within five
days hereafter.

                                    PART IV
                               OTHER INFORMATION

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

      Bradley Perkins                          (408)        855-4917
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
         (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 changes from the corresponding period for last fiscal year are indicative of
material changes in the semiconductor industry and economy in general. Since the
report on Form 10-Q is being filed within five days, making reasonable estimates
is unnecessary.
