be completed. (Check box if appropriate)                                        

 /  /  | (a) The reasons  described in  reasonable  detail in Part III of this
   |     without  unreasonable form could not be  eliminated effort or
|     expense;                                                  
|

|     filed on or before  the  fifth calendar day following the 
|     prescribed due date; and

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

Registrant's converted word processing document in an ASCII format could not be 
read by SEC's EDGAR software because of invalid characters. The invalid         
characters made it impossible to submit a timely TEST or LIVE filing from       
registrant's place of business.                                                 

                                                 (Attach Extra Sheets if Needed)

                                                                 SEC 1344 (6/94)
PART IV--OTHER INFORMATION

notification                                                            

Mark Pesta                                 (610)           594-3344     
    ________________________________________ _________  ________________________
         (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 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?

    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.
