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 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, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

As previously reported, the Company has been working diligently to raise additional capital through one or more equity or debt financings and/or potential strategic transactions.  The Company has been fully engaged in pursuing a transaction and that effort has significantly strained the Company's limited resources such that it requires additional time to prepare and file its Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

The Company expects to be in a position to file the Form 10-K on or before April 17, 2018, the prescribed due date under the fifteen calendar day extension period provided under Rule 12b-25 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

If the answer is no, identify report(s).

X Yes ☐ No

 

(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 X 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.
