                            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 appropriate box.)

[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 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

                                   Narrative

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

     The Registrant was unable to finalize its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in
time to file the same by November 14, 2001 because on November 13, 2001 it
received substantive comments from its certifying accountants, Stonefield
Josephson, Inc., which required the Registrant's accounting staff to make
changes to the financial statements in order to comply with such comments, and
because the changes in question could not be completed by the filing deadline.

    (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 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

     If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively
