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;
	(b)	The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, 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 subject or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and

PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons 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.

The Registrant was unable to complete and file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 (the “Form 10-Q”) within the prescribed time period because it requires time to review and assess the impact on its financial statements and disclosures, if any, arising from the announcement made by Deutsche Post World Net (“DPWN”) on the same date as this filing (November 10, 2008). The announcement concerns DPWN’s plans to discontinue DHL’s pick-up and delivery services between domestic points within the U.S., and concentrate solely on international shipments. DPWN’s affiliates, DHL Express (USA), Inc. and DHL Network Operations (USA), Inc. (collectively, “DHL”), are the Registrant’s largest customer, accounting for more than 70% of the Registrant’s consolidated revenues.
