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.

Registrant’s adverse financial position and lack of sufficient financial resources has required Registrant to significantly limit both its internal staffing and its use of outside personnel. At the same time, the individuals customarily responsible for the preparation and review of Registrant’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been required to shift a portion of their attention and resources to other matters critical to Registrant’s continuing business. As a consequence, the Company has been delayed in completing the preparation and pre-filing review of the Report.

		Persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB control number.
