CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Our disclosure and analysis in this Current Report on Form 8-K contains some forward-looking statements. Certain of the matters discussed concerning our operations, cash flows, financial position, economic performance and financial condition, and the effect of economic conditions include forward-looking statements.

Statements that are predictive in nature, that depend upon or refer to future events or conditions or that include words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "estimates" and similar expressions are forward-looking statements. Although we believe that these statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, including projections of orders, sales, operating margins, earnings, cash flow, research and development costs, working capital, capital expenditures and other projections, they are subject to several risks and uncertainties.

Investors are cautioned that our forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and the actual results or developments may differ materially from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements.

As for the forward-looking statements that relate to future financial results and other projections, actual results will be different due to the inherent uncertainty of estimates, forecasts and projections may be better or worse than projected. Given these uncertainties, you should not place any reliance on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements also represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date that they were made. We expressly disclaim a duty to provide updates to these forward-looking statements, and the estimates and assumptions associated with them, after the date of this filing to reflect events or changes in circumstances or changes in expectations or the occurrence of anticipated events. You are advised, however, to consult any additional disclosures we make in our reports on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Form 8-K, or their successors.

Section 8 - Other Events

Item 8.01 Other Events

Final Approval for Distribution of Stock Dividend.

On June 6, 2012, the Company passed a new Resolution to distribute a common stock dividend to our shareholders on a 10 for 2 basis. The Company received the final notification and confirmation from FINRA on June 29, 2012 announcing the final approval to distribute the common stock dividend to our shareholders. The final notification is posted on FINRA’s, OTC Bulletin Board website at www.otcbb.com, under the tab “Daily List”, and the “Headlines By Date”, 2012 Daily List Index for dividends for June 29, 2012.

The Company will issue two (2) shares of common stock for every ten (10) shares of common stock held by the shareholders of record in accordance with the following information and time frames;

a. Declaration Date: June 6, 2012 - Date the Board of Directors formally authorized the dividend.

b. Ex-Dividend Date: July 11, 2012 – The ex-dividend date is set by FINRA. You must have purchased your stock at least one day before the ex-dividend date, (on or before July 10, 2012, the in-dividend date), to be a shareholder of record, and be entitled to the dividend. This allows for three stock trading days prior to the date of record for the settlement of the stock purchase.

c. Record Date: July 13, 2012 - The dividend shall be distributed only to registered “shareholders of record” on or before this date.

d. Payment Date: July 20, 2012 – Final date of payment or distribution of the dividend to the shareholders of record.

e. * Freely tradable shares shall be issued to all shareholders holding free trading shares as of the Record Date, e.g., shares held by CEDE as nominee. These shares will be issued in a hard certificate form without a legend.

f. Restricted shares in a hard certificate, (with a legend), shall be issued to all shareholders with restricted shares as of the Record Date.

g. Shares in hard certificate form (with a legend), shall be issued to all banks, stock brokerage houses and clearing agents.

h. No fractional shares will be issued for this dividend. All dividends shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares when fractional shares occur. No cash payments will be made for any fractional shares.

The processing of the stock dividend should be completed by the transfer agent within 2 to 3 days after the Payment Date. The transfer agent is duly authorized to process the stock dividend and it has all of the instructions to distribute the shares. All freely tradable shares will be distributed, (in hard certificate form), to the shareholders nominee such as a bank, broker dealer or the Depository Trust Company (DTC) through its partnership nominee CEDE & Company, for distribution to the broker dealers, who will deposit them into the accounts of the beneficial shareholders. Restricted shares shall be issued in a hard certificate form and sent via certified mail to all shareholders with restricted shares as of the record date.

*In the event the DTC “Chill” is lifted prior to the dividend “Payment Date” of July 20, 2012, we would elect to have the stock distributed to these respective parties electronically via DWAC, if possible.

The payment of a dividend in stock instead of cash helps the Company to maintain its cash and still reward our shareholders with a dividend. Some shareholders may view this action as a potential for dilution and a devaluation of their shares, however we believe there are many valuable benefits to our shareholders. Our shareholders will receive an immediate 20% increase in the quantity of the shares they own and a 20% return on their investment. We feel this will reward our loyal shareholders for their ongoing support, and to give them a greater stake in our Company.

This Report will also serve to correct an error in a Press Release dated June 6, 2012, that indicated that the Record Date for the dividend for all registered shareholders was June 13, 2012. The correct Record Date as indicated above is July 13, 2012.
