PART III -- NARRATIVE

         State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F,
11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR or the transition report or portion thereof,
could not be filed within the prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if
needed.)

         The Company engaged a new independent registered public accounting firm
and the Company and the accounting firm reexamined the accounting and financial
reporting relating to the Company's debt financing in 2007 and the debt
modification and business combination with Inventa Technologies, Inc. which
occurred during the second quarter of 2008. The Company required additional time
to complete its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008,
which has caused delays in preparing and finalizing the Company's Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.
