ADDENDUM IV(3)

The Company anticipates that its results of operations for the year

ended September 30, 2002 will reflect a net loss of $3,728,797*, as compared to net loss of $2,360,995 recorded for the year ended September 30, 2001. The increase in net loss resulted from a decline in net sales of $5,206,153 in fiscal 2001 to $2,618,903 in fiscal 2002 and an increase in interest expense from $168,801 in fiscal 2001 to $1,283,592 in fiscal 2002 that was directly related to the amortization of debt discount related to the note payable to the Company’s Series A Preferred stockholders.

*Management's best estimate pending completion of audit.
