PART II
RULE 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 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, 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 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

PART III
NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F,
11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR or the transition report portion thereof could not be filed
within the prescribed time period. (Attach Extra Sheets if Needed)
The Registrant is unable to timely file its report on Form 10-QSB
for the period ended September 30, 2001, without unreasonable effort
or expense, because of an insufficiency of resources to timely
complete the legal and accounting work necessary. In addition, the
multinational nature of the Registrant's business made it impossible
to timely file without unreasonable effort or expense. The
Registrant anticipates completing the filing of its quarterly report
on Form 10-QSB no later than the 5th calendar day following the
prescribed due date.
PART IV

(2) Have all other periodic 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
report(s) been filed? 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?
[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.
When filed it is anticipated that the Company will report net losses
of $2,056,418 for the third quarter ended September 30, 2001. During
the third quarter of 2000, the Company reported net losses of
$1,388,409. The increase in net loss for the third quarter of 2001
when compared to the corresponding quarter of 2000 is due primarily
to lower average selling prices and gross margins resulting from
sales under a distribution agreement with Baxter A.G., as well as an
increase in administrative expenses.
