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 reason 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, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, 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 subject distribution report on Form 10-D, 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 why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q,10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

The Registrant's filing of its Report on Form 10-Q is delayed due to the Registrant's inability to timely process the financial information for the quarter and present it to the Registrant's independent registered public accounting firm for review and comment prior to the filing deadline. The Registrant does anticipate filing its quarterly report on February 15, 2013. The delay in processing is a result of the Registrant's implementation in its undercar business of the enterprise resource planning system (ERP) used in the Registrant’s rotating electrical business and changes in the Registrant’s undercar business’ accounting practices required in connection with the ERP implementation.

Part IV - Other Information

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

    David Lee(310)972-5141
    (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?

    Yes  √  No   
    If answer is no, identify report(s).
     

  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  √  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 results of operations for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2012 are expected to show significant changes when compared to the same period for the last fiscal year. These changes reflect, among other things, the termination of the relationship with a major customer and the accounting entries necessary to correctly reflect the termination of such relationship. As the Registrant is currently still processing its financial information for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2012, a reasonable quantitative estimate of the results for such fiscal quarter cannot be made at this time.
