20-F, 10-Q, N-SAR or the transition report portion thereof could not be filed
within the prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if needed.)
Registrant is unable to complete its audited consolidated financial
statements within the prescribed time due to, among other things, the
requirement to integrate the financial statements, on an audited basis, of the
companies we acquired during the year. Accordingly, Registrant needs the
extension of time to complete its audited consolidated financial statements.

(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company
Act of 1940 during the proceeding 12 months or for such shorter period that the
registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If the answer is no,
identify report(s).
X Yes No
------
(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of
operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be
reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or
portion thereof?
X Yes No
------
If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both
narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a
reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
Registrant reasonably expects the Net Loss for the year ended December 31, 2003
to be approximately $1,119,000 as compared to the Net Income of $1,597,000 for
the year ended December 31, 2002. The reason for the difference between the Net
Loss in 2003 as compared to the Net Income for 2002 can be primarily attributed
to Income from Discontinued Operations of $3,712,000 which was due primarily to
a gain recognized on the extinguishment of debt in January 2002.
