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 or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

As disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 24, 2013, the registrant entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with N2 Biomedical LLC ("N2") pursuant to which N2 acquired substantially all of the assets, and assumed certain of the liabilities of Spire's biomedical business. The transaction closed on September 18, 2013. The registrant expects to consolidate the financial statements of N2 into its own. The registrant is unable to complete the preparation of its financial statements for its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2013 within the prescribed time period because it is in the process of preparing the financial statements of N2. Accordingly, the registrant cannot complete its overall review without unreasonable effort or expense within the time prescribed.

PART IV -- OTHER INFORMATION

(1)    Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification

Robert S. Lieberman          781      275-6000         
(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).
S Yes £ 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?
S Yes £ 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.

Although the registrant has not completed its financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the registrant anticipates significant changes in results of operations from the corresponding period of 2012 will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. The registrant currently expects, for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, that its revenue will be in a range of $4,000,000 and $4,200,000, its operating loss from continuing operations will be in a range of $(2,200,000) and $(2,300,000) and its net loss attributable to common shareholders in a range of $(2,000,000) and $(2,100,000). Since the financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 are not yet completed, actual results may differ materially from its current expectations.
