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

On April 15, 2009, management and our Board of Directors determined that it was necessary to restate our financial statements for the interim period ended September 30, 2008. These financial statements could no longer be relied upon due to a change in the accounting treatment of certain stock purchase warrants issued to investors.

The warrants were issued in connection with a private placement of $250,000 in principal amount of Series A Promissory Notes (the “Notes”). The Notes are due on July 31, 2009, and bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum. In consideration for the purchase of the Notes, each investor received three-year warrants to purchase shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share (25,000 shares for each $25,000 invested).

We did not account for the stock purchase warrants in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The warrants were classified as liabilities on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2008; however, based on the provisions of EITF 00-19, we should have classified the warrants as equity, as they (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement, or (ii) gave us a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement).

The effect of the adjustment for the classification of the warrants as equity is the recording of a discount against the carrying amount of the notes payable, in the amount of $249,985. The recording of the discount resulted in a decrease in the carrying amount of notes payable and an increase in additional paid-in capital in the amount of $249,985 on our consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2008.

Also, we should have recorded amortization of the discount in the amount of $67,919 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The effect of the adjustment for the amortization of the discount was an increase in interest expense of $67,919 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008. The adjustment also resulted in an increase in the net loss of $67,919 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008.

We have discussed the matters relating to the accounting errors with Berenfeld Spritzer Shechter & Sheer LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm. We intend to file an Amendment No. 1 to our Form 10-Q for the Fiscal Quarter ended September 30, 2008 with the Securities and Exchange Commission promptly. This change in the accounting treatment of the stock purchase warrants has been accounted for in our financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
