 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 appropriate box)                         

[  ]     (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, 20-F, 11-K or Form SAR, or portion thereof will be filed
         on or before the 15th 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 account's statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25   
(c) has been attached if applicable.                  

Part III - Narrative                                                            

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 11-K, 20F,
10-Q, N-SAR or the transition report portion thereof could not be filed within  
the prescribed time period.                                                     

Due to recent cost reductions, including accounting personnel,    
the Company was unable to adjust to filing the Form 10-Q within   
the prescribed time period.                                       

Part IV - Other Information                                                     

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

Mr. Frank Mangano                             (516)           338-7889          
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------   
    (Name)                               (Area Code)    (Telephone Number)

      (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

           Is it anticipated that any significant change in result 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.                                         

 The Company anticipates a significant decline in the results of
 operations for the three months ended June 30, 1998 as compared
     to the three months ended June 30, 1997. This decline is attributed
to the reduced sales volume in connection with the de-emphasis
 of the Company's wholesale business,  reductions in advertising
expenditures due to working capital constraints, reduction in 
  inventory purchase levels due to working capital constraints and
    understanding with suppliers and the recent industry-wide softness
  in the do-it-yourself market.The decrease in sales did not allow
   the Company to sufficiently leverage its corporate overhead. This
    caused both significantly higher costs of goods sold and operating
expenses compared to revenues.
