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 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 or 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 of 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’s Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2006 could not be timely filed without unreasonable effort and expense because the Registrant is continuing to investigate certain issues related to its issuance of options in 2001. The issues involve the determination of the correct measurement date for accounting purposes of these option grants. As a part of our 2006 audit process and at the request of our auditors, we performed a detailed analysis of stock option grants dating back to 1995. Of the 40 occasions on which options were granted during this period, the accounting for two sets of option grants, in February and October 2001, remain unresolved. In both cases, the question relates to when all of the options had been specifically allocated to individual employees and thus the correct determination of the measurement date. Our option grant records with respect to these options do not definitively determine when this final allocation was completed. Accordingly, we have gone back to secondary sources to better understand the actual events and timing. Based on our investigation to date, we believe that the measurement date with respect to one of these sets of option grants was incorrectly determined; however we are continuing to investigate both sets of grants.

If we ultimately conclude that the measurement date was incorrectly determined, and if the exercise price of the options on the correct measurement date was lower than the stock price on that date, then such options would be deemed for accounting purposes to have intrinsic value which we would have had to record as a non-cash expense over the vesting period of the options. Any such expense could affect results of operations in 2001 through 2004 but would not affect operating results in 2005 or 2006.

The Registrant anticipates that it’s results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 will reflect a net loss of $11,756,000, which will be greater than the net loss of $8,261,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005.
