The compilation, dissemination and review of the information required to be presented in the Form 10-QSB for the relevant period has imposed time constraints that have rendered the filing of the Form 10-QSB by its original prescribed due date impracticable without undue hardship and expense to the registrant. The registrant undertakes the responsibility to file such report no later than five days after its original prescribed due date.

More time is needed by the Company and its outside accounting firm to ensure that the impact of this acquisition is correctly reflected in the Company’s financial statements and associated footnotes to the financial statements.  Based upon a preliminary statement of operations, the Company is estimating a net loss of $5,140,000 for the nine months ending September 30, 2006 compared to a net loss of $2,492,000 for the same period in 2005.
