                                                      -----------

         Address of Principal Executive Office:

Part II--RULES 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,  Form 2-F, 11- F, or From 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 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 the reasons why form 10-K,  11-K,  20-F,
10-Q or N-SAR or portion  thereof could not be filed within the prescribed  time
period.

     The  Company  entered  into an  agreement  to settle  debt  represented  by
outstanding  debentures in late December,  2001. The actual  finalization of the
settlements  did not occur until March of 2002,  which created  problems for the
auditors  in  finishing  the  financial  statements.  As a  result  of the  late
settlement of these accounts, the Company's management was unable to compile the
information  that is required to be  disclosed  in its 10-K in a timely  manner.
Consequently, the Company will not be able to file its Form 10-K on time without
unreasonable effort or expense.


Part IV - Other Information

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

               Investment  Company  Act of 1940 during the 12 months or for such
               shorter  period  that the  registrant  was  required to file such
               report(s) been filed? If the answer if 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?
                                                        ( ) Yes (X ) No
