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.

Since December 31, 2001, the Company has had no operations other than management of the litigation described in, among other places, Part I, Item 3 of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 (the "2007 10-K"). The ultimate outcome of the litigation was described in the 2007 10-K. The Company's receipt of the award resulting from that litigation, including its subsequent redemption of a portion of its outstanding Cumulative Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B, and interest income on the award, has resulted in the Company not being eligible to qualify as an “inactive registrant” under Rule 3-11 of Regulation S-X for its fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 or December 31, 2009. As such, its financial statements included in its Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and subsequent years must be audited. The Company is finalizing the process of having its financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, and will file its Form 10-K for such year as soon as practicable upon completion of the audit. After it files the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company will begin the process of preparing its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Company has no full time employees to manage the preparation and filing of its periodic reports. The Company does not expect that its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the required filing date as prescribed in Rule 12b-25.

Part IV - Other Information

    The Company has not yet filed its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2009, June 30, 2009 or September 30, 2009. It anticipates preparing and filing such reports after it files its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.
  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?

    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.
