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.
/ / (b) The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on
Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 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

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 Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K,
10-Q, N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed
within the prescribed time period.
The Registrant has not filed its Form 10-KSB the year ended December 31, 2004
because it has not had sufficient financial resources to engage its independent
accountants to conduct an audit of the December 31, 2004 financial statements,
nor has the Registrant's limited staff had time to prepare the Form 10-KSB
itself. For the same reasons, the Registrant will be unable to file its Form
10-QSB for March 31, 2005 by the extended due date. The Registrant will use its
best efforts to file both the Form 10-KSB and Form 10-QSB as soon as its
resources permit.
PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION

notification.

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 answer is no,
identify report(s).
/ / Yes / X / 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
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.
