(Form 12b-25-07/99)





It is anticipated that 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 due to the fact that the
Registrant has had an operating unit since July 1, 2004. A reasonable estimate
of the results cannot be made at this time due to the fact that the Company is
still creating the necessary reports, balance sheets and related items.
