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

As previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on May 10, 2013, management has determined that the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 are no longer appropriate to rely upon because they failed to account for certain outstanding warrants to purchase common stock as liabilities rather than equity and to account for non-cash charges resulting from required periodic "mark-to-market" adjustments of warrants. As announced, the Company is currently preparing an amendment to its previously filed annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 in order to restate its financial statements for each of the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. As the first quarter 10-Q will incorporate information that will be in the amended Form 10-K, the Company could not file its first quarter 10-Q within the prescribed time limits without unreasonable effort or expense. We expect to file our first quarter 10-Q within the time period permitted by Rule 12b-25.
