Item 4.02.  Non-reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed interim Review.

On May 11, 2009, our management concluded that our audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008 and our unaudited quarterly financial statements for the quarterly periods in such years should no longer be relied upon.  Specifically, our liabilities were understated by approximately $1,714,179 on December 31, 2007 and by approximately $2,719,942 on December 31, 2008 (which amount is cumulative and includes the amount understated in 2007) with an overstatement of income on such dates of $1,714179 and $1,005,763, respectively.  The facts underlying our original conclusion is that all of such liabilities have exceeded the applicable statutes of limitations and based upon an opinion of counsel which stated that the likelihood of our having to pay these liabilities was highly improbable, our independent auditor concurred with our decision to write off all of such liabilities.  The staff (“Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission, without disagreeing with our position that payment of such liabilities was highly improbable, advised us that under the facts of our situation, it was their conclusion that GAAP accounting required that the liabilities not be written off at this time.  Following a series of calls with various Staff members, our management, in consultation with our counsel and independent auditor, agreed to accept the Staff’s position.  We have received guidance from the Staff as to the necessary steps we need to take to properly write off these liabilities and we expect to begin that process with certain of the largest creditors.  Regardless of whether we are ultimately successful in writing off all or some of these liabilities, we do not believe that these restatements will have any impact on our results of operations or cash flows as the fact remains that the statute of limitations has indeed passed with respect to these liabilities and the likelihood of our having to pay them remains highly improbable.
