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)

[X] (a)  The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this Form
         12b-25 could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or
         expense;

[X] (b)  The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on
         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 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 period.

     The Company's management has been negotiating a covenant waiver with its 
senior secured lender.  The outcome of this negotiation, which is expected to 
be known within days following the November 15, 2004 due date of the Company's 
quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2004, will 
likely significantly impact the disclosures in such report.  As a result, the 
Company is unable to complete and file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q by 
the prescribed date without unreasonable effort or expense.  Pursuant to Rule 
12b-25(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company requests the 
five-day extension relief provided for therein to file its quarterly report on 
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2004.
