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)
           
þ
    (a)   The reason 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 Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, 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 subject distribution report on Form 10-D, 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 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.
The Registrant will be unable to file by the prescribed due date of March 16, 2007, without unreasonable effort or expense because the Registrant needs additional time to complete its assessment of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This is the first year the Company has been subject to the provisions of Sarbanes-Oxley, Section 404. In addition, the Registrant is in the process of converting to a new accounting software system. The conversion to the new system, combined with the accelerated filing deadline in 2007 and the requirements of Section 404, have placed a significant burden on the Registrant’s staff in finance and accounting. The Registrant currently expects to file its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, within the timeframe allowed by Rule 12b-25.
SEC 1344 (03-05)   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.
