PART  I  -  REGISTRANT  INFORMATION

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)

     (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
[x]       Form  10-K, Form 20-F, 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 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.

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.

                         (Attach Extra Sheets if Needed)

The  Registrant's  quarterly report on Form 10-QSB could not be timely filed due
to  the executive officers of the Company not having sufficient time to complete
their  preparation  and  review process.  We fully expect to file the final Form
10-QSB  before  the  time  permitted  by  this  extension.
