     If the  subject  report  could not be filed  without  reasonable  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 reasons  described  in  reasonable  detail in Part III of this
          form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;

     [X]  (b) The subject annual report,  semi-annual report,  transition report
          on Form 10-K,  Form 20-F or Form N-SAR,  or portion  thereof,  will be
          filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed

                               PART III--NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable  detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR,
or the  transition  report or  portion  thereof,  could not be filed  within the
prescribed time period.

     The Form  10-QSB  could not be filed  within  the  prescribed  time  period
because the Company is in the process of completing the financial statements and
related  disclosures  required by the Form.  The  Company  will file the Form no
later then the fifth calendar day referred to above under Part II and as allowed
under Rule 12b-25 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

                           PART IV--OTHER INFORMATION

(1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this
notification

George R. Jensen, Jr.              610                   989-0340
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Name)                         (Area Code)           (Telephone Number)

(2) Have all other  period  reports  required  under  Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment  Company Act of
1940  during the  preceding  12 months  (or for such  shorter)  period  that the
registrant  was  required to file such  reports)  been  filed?  If 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 or portion thereof?

                                                     [X] Yes  [ ] 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.

The Company anticipates that the financial statements for the three months ended
September  30,  2003 will show an  operating  loss of  approximately  $7,300,000
compared with an operating loss of approximately $2,700,000 for the three months
ended  September 30, 2002.  The primary reason for the increase in the operating
loss  for  the  three  month  period  is  increased  non-cash   compensation  of
approximately  $4,600,000 associated with the shares issued to George R. Jensen,
Jr., by the Company in July 2003.
