                             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.)

      |     (a)   The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this
      |           form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or
      |           xpense;
      |
|X|   |     (b)   The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition
      |           reporton 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
      |
      |     (c)   The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule
      |           12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

The principal cause of our failure to timely file our Quarterly Report on Form
10-QSB for the period ended November 30, 2002 is that the person responsible for
preparing the report and related financial statements has also been responsible
for undertaking all steps necessary to negotiate a proposed sale of the assets
of the company. As a result of these disruptions, additional time is required to
compile and present the unaudited financial statements to the Registrant's
auditors and we will be unable to complete the preparation of the Quarterly
Report on Form 10-QSB in time for the January 14, 2003 deadline without
unreasonable effort or expense.




                                    PART III
                                    NARRATIVE

     State below in reasonable detail why the 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.)
