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

and
/ / (c) The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-

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 Annual Reports on Form 10-KSB for the years
ended December 31, 2004 and 2005 for a number of reasons, including the
following primary reasons: (1) The Registrant lacks the financial resources to
engage an independent registered public accountanting firm to conduct an audit
of the related financial statements. Via letter dated March 29, 2006, its former
independent registered public accountanting firm, Hausser + Taylor LLC, informed
the Registrant and the SEC of their decision to resign as auditor. (2) The
Registrant lacks the staffing to prepare the Forms 10-KSB due in large part to
the amount of time management has devoted and the amount of funds the Registrant
has spent in responding to litigation.
For the same reasons, the Registrant has been unable to file its Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-QSB for March 31, 2005, June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2005,
nor will it be able to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for March 31,
2006 by the extended due date. The Registrant will use its best efforts to file
the Forms 10-KSB and Forms 10-QSB as soon as its financial resources and
staffing permit. The Registrant, however, is unable to predict when it will be
able to make these filings and there can be no assurance that the filings will
be made at all.
PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION
(1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this
notification.
George E. Ponticas 410 266-5556

(Name) (Area code) (Telephone number)
(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 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.
