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)

           (a)       The reason  described in reasonable  detail in Part III of
                     this form  could not be  eliminated  without  unreasonable
                     effort or expense

                     report on Form 10-K,  Form 20-F,  Form 11-K, Form N-SAR or
     [X]             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.


Ronson  Corporation  (the  "Company") has  determined  that  additional  time is
required to finalize its  Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q for its fiscal  quarter
ended March 31, 2009, and the financial  statements  included therein (the "Form
10-Q").  Despite diligent efforts,  the work necessary to complete the Form 10-Q
could not be finished in sufficient time to permit the filing on the due date of
May 15, 2009, without  unreasonable  effort and expense.  This is due largely to
time  and   effort   of  the   Company's   financial   department   related   to
reclassification  of the  operations of Ronson  Aviation,  Inc. as  discontinued
operations due the Company's plans to sell the assets of this subsidiary.

ATTACHMENT TO FORM 12B-25
RONSON CORPORATION
PART IV, ITEM 3

As the Company has previously reported, it continues to incur net losses, as a
result, among other matters, of its impaired liquidity and substantial
consulting fees and professional fees. In addition, as a consequence of its
previously reported plan to divest of its aviation division, the Company will
account for this subsidiary as a discontinued operation.
