PART
III -- NARRATIVE
State
below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, N-CSR, or
the transition report portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed
time period.
The
Registrant is unable to prepare and review all necessary information and
disclosures in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q within the prescribed time
period without incurring unreasonable effort and expense. The
Registrant requires additional efforts and time to accurately prepare and
present all necessary disclosures. On May 14, 2010, the Registrant
filed a Form 8-K announcing restatements of certain accounting items and a
related amendment no. 2 on Form 10-K/A for the three years ended
December 31, 2009. Due to the time and focus of effort on the
restatements, the Registrant was not able to prepare and review all necessary
information and disclosures in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q within the
prescribed time period. The Registrant will file its Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q no later than the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date for
such report.

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

Yes
o
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?
|
|
|
|
x
Yes
o
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.
Due to a
decline in the global economy and construction industry, completion of
international projects completed in 2009 such as the Dubai Metro Red Line,
Guangdong Science City Headquarter Phase I, and Doha High Rise Office Tower, in
addition to the Registrant’s cessation of its international projects], the
Registrant’s results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was
significantly less than the comparable period in the previous year, as reported
in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as filed with the SEC. Contract
revenues earned for the three months ended March 31, 2010 is expected to be
approximately $11.2 million, a decrease of $25.1 million, or 69%, from the
contract revenues earned of $36.3 million for the comparable period in
2009.
Selling,
general and administrative expenses were $4.2 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2010, a decrease of approximately $1.8 million, or 30%, from
approximately $6.0 million for the comparable period in 2009. The decrease was
due to decrease in revenue in earned, partially offset by a charge equal to
approximately $2.0 related to restricted stock award grants made during the
first quarter of 2010.
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2010
is expected to be approximately $3.5 million, a decrease in income of $4.4
million, or 489%, from net profit of $0.9 million for the comparable period in
2009.
