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 expense;

	(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 why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

We were unable to file our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 (the “Quarterly Report”) within the prescribed time period because of technical connectivity difficulties between our filing service's server and the Commission’s EDGAR server. The Quarterly Report was completed, executed and ready to be filed with the Commission prior to the 5:30 p.m. Eastern time deadline for acceptance of filings on November 14, 2016, the due date for the filing, and our filing service attempted to commence transmission of the Quarterly Report on the SEC’s EDGAR system prior to such deadline. In spite of our best efforts to submit the Quarterly Report with the Commission on a timely basis, our filing service's server was unable to do so due to the Commission's EDGAR server not connecting to our filing services server.
