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;
     
     [ X ] (b) The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition
     report on Form 10-K or Form 10-KSB, Form 20-F, Form 11-K or Form N-
     SAR, or portion thereof will be filed on or before the 15th calendar
     day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarter report
     or transition report on Fom 10-Q, Form 10-QSB, or portion thereof will
     be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed
     due date; and
     
     [ X ] (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 the Form 10-K and Form 10-KSB,
20-F, 11-K, 10-Q and Form 10-QSB, N-SAR or the transition report or portion
thereof could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K cannot be filed within the prescribed
time period because the Company and its independent accountants are continuing
to analyze the applicability of certain income tax accounting standards
affecting its financial statements.  Shortly before the expiration of the
prescribed time period, the Company and its independent accountants determined
that certain unique facts relating to the Company's prior operating history
required an evaluation of such accounting standards, and the time required for
such evaluation exceeded original expectations.  Until such evaluation is
completed, the Company's independent accountants will not be able to issue
their report with respect to the Company's financial statements for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 1996.  The Company expects to file its Form 10-K within
the next 15 days.
