                           (City, State and Zip Code)

                       PART II - RULE 12b-25 (b) AND (c)

         If the subject report could not be filed out 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;

[X]     (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 portion thereof, will be filed
                  on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed
                  due date; and

[ ]     (c)       The accountant's statement or exhibit required by Rule
                  12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

                              PART III - NARRATIVE

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


The Registrant is unable to complete and file its Form N-CSR and transmit its
annual report to shareholders for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022,
within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense as the
Registrant's annual audit is still in progress. The Registrant has experienced
a delay in receiving and evaluating the most recent service auditor report from
one of its loan servicing vendors.  The Registrant expects to file its Form
N-CSR within the extension period of 15 days as provided by Rule 12b-25 under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and will transmit its annual
report to shareholders upon completion of such report included in its Form
N-CSR.

         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



(3)      Is it anticipated that any significant changes 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 in the portion thereof? [ ] Yes [X] No
