ITEM 8.01 Other Events
On November 15, 2004, the Company announced that it has not filed its
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 (the
"Third Quarter Form 10-Q") with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC").
The delay in filing the Third Quarter Form 10-Q is attributable to the
additional effort and time that has been required for the finance team of the
Company's PeterStar business venture to prepare, finalize and submit its final
US GAAP financial results to the Company's corporate finance team. As a result
of the delay in the submission of the PeterStar US GAAP financial reports, the
Company's corporate finance team has not been able to complete its review and
analysis of the PeterStar financial results, and as such, able to finalize the
Company's consolidated financial statements and management's discussion and
analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations.
At present, the Company is uncertain as to when it will complete the filing
of the Third Quarter Form 10-Q with the SEC, but anticipates filing during the
week of November 29, 2004.
The press release announcing this matter is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is
incorporated herein by reference.
