¨

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 report or transition report on Form 10-Q, or portion thereof will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and

Although the Registrant is seeking additional sources of financing, there is no assurance that it will be able to secure such financing or that the amount of the financing will be sufficient to enable the Registrant to file the Annual Report on Form 10-K within 15 calendar days of the prescribed due date.

[1] An analysis of the Company’s intangible asset, for possible impairment of its carrying value, has not been performed in connection with determining the Company’s year-end results. The absence of this analysis prevents the Company, at this time, from providing a reasonable estimate of its 2011 results of operations and comparing such estimate with previously reported 2010 results of operations for the purpose of stating whether there will be a significant change in the results of operations of the Company.
