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, Form 20-F, 11-K or Form N-SAR, 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 portion therof
will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed
due date; and 

X      (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 Form 10-K and Form 10-KSB, 
11-K, 20-F, 10-Q, Form 10-QSB, N-SAR or the transition report or portion
therof could not be filed within the prescribed period.

   The Registrant has not resolved responsibility for certain expenses 
   claimed by a related party in connection with potential property 
   acquisitions, bank financing and equity matters.

   The registrant's independent certified public accountants, Grant Thornton,
   are unable to conclude their audit pending resolution of these matters. 
   The registrant's audited financial statements at and for the year ended 
   December 31, 1998, can therefore not presently be completed.  The 
   registrant requires information from such financial statements and report
   to complete every portion of its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.
