State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K and Form 10-KSB, 20-F, 10-Q and Form 10-QSB, N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof could not be filed within the prescribed period.

The Company is unable to file its Form 10-KSB within the prescribed period without unreasonable effort or expense due to administrative difficulties. Such difficulties prevent the Company from filing the balance of the report because such information is integral to the balance of the report.

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.


We expect a decreased loss for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to the same period for 2005 due to a combination of increased sales and improved gross profit, reduced operating expenses, and a reduced loss on derivative instruments. We are presently evaluating the amount of the overall reduced loss.
