Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2010

(Expressed in US dollars)

(unaudited)



1.

Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business

Avani International Group Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on November 29, 1995. The Company has been engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing and distributing oxygen enriched, purified bottled water under the trade name "Avani Water" for domestic and export sales. On June 15, 2006, the Company sold its real property including land, building and building improvements. After the sale of its real property, the Company suspended its production of water.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred losses to date of $8,450,968. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s plans for the next twelve months are to focus on is seeking new business opportunities in Asia. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient funds to pay the expected expenses for the next twelve months.


2.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a)

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars.  The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its’ wholly-owned subsidiaries, Avani Oxygen Water Corporation and Avani International Marketing Corporation. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31.

(b)

Interim Financial Statements

The interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year or for any future.

(c)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets and deferred income tax asset valuations. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

(d)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

2.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(e)

Accounts Receivable

The Company recognizes allowances for doubtful accounts to ensure accounts receivable are not overstated due to the inability or unwillingness of its customers to make required payments. The allowance is based on the age of receivable and the specific identification of receivables the Company considers at risk.

(f)

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is comprised of equipment which is recorded at cost and amortized using the declining balance method at 20% per annum.

(g)

Long-lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.

(h)

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 410, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” which establishes standards for the initial measurement and subsequent accounting for obligations associated with the sale, abandonment or other disposal of long-lived tangible assets arising from the acquisition, construction or development and for normal operations of such assets.

(i)

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from royalties and equipment rentals in accordance with ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition”. Revenue will be recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is provided, and collectability is assured.

(j)

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” and ASC 825, “Financial Instruments” requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(j)

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures (continued)

Level 3

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, accrued interest payable, due to related party, and loan payable. Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.

(k)

Loss Per Share

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share" which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

(l)

Comprehensive Loss

ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income (loss) and its components in the financial statements. As at March 31, 2010, the Company had no items representing comprehensive income/loss. As at March 31, 2009, the Company‘s only component of comprehensive income/loss was foreign currency translation adjustments.

(m)

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized. As of March 31, 2010, the Company did not have any amounts recorded pertaining to uncertain tax positions.

The Company files federal and provincial income tax returns in Canada and federal, state and local income tax returns in the US, as applicable. The Company may be subject to a reassessment of federal and provincial income taxes by Canadian tax authorities for a period of three years from the date of the original notice of assessment in respect of any particular taxation year. For Canadian and US income tax returns, the open taxation years range from 2006 to 2009. In certain circumstances, the US federal statute of limitations can reach beyond the standard three year period. US state statutes of limitations for income tax assessment vary from state to state. Tax authorities of Canada and US have not audited any of the Company’s, or its subsidiaries’ income tax returns for the open taxation years noted above.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in tax expense. During the periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, there were no charges for interest or penalties.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(n)

Stock-based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

(o)

Foreign Currency Translation

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the currency of measurement at the exchange rates in effect on the transaction date. Monetary balance sheet items expressed in foreign currencies are translated into US dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. The resulting exchange gains and losses are recognized in income.

The Company’s integrated foreign subsidiaries are financially or operationally dependent on the Company. The Company uses the temporal method to translate the accounts of its integrated operations into US dollars. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates for the period, except for amortization, which is translated on the same basis as the related asset. The resulting exchange gains or losses are recognized in income.

(p)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to the measurement of liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis. This standard clarifies how a company should measure the fair value of liabilities and that restrictions preventing the transfer of a liability should not be considered as a factor in the measurement of liabilities within the scope of this standard. This standard is effective for the Company on October 1, 2009. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to the accounting for revenue in arrangements with multiple deliverables including how the arrangement consideration is allocated among delivered and undelivered items of the arrangement. Among the amendments, this standard eliminated the use of the residual method for allocating arrangement considerations and requires an entity to allocate the overall consideration to each deliverable based on an estimated selling price of each individual deliverable in the arrangement in the absence of having vendor-specific objective evidence or other third party evidence of fair value of the undelivered items. This standard also provides further guidance on how to determine a separate unit of accounting in a multiple-deliverable revenue arrangement and expands the disclosure requirements about the judgments made in applying the estimated selling price method and how those judgments affect the timing or amount of revenue recognition. This standard, for which the Company is currently assessing the impact, will become effective on January 1, 2011.

In October 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to certain revenue arrangements that include software elements. This standard clarifies the existing accounting guidance such that tangible products that contain both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality, shall be excluded from the scope of the software revenue recognition accounting standards. Accordingly, sales of these products may fall within the scope of other revenue recognition standards or may now be within the scope of this standard and may require an allocation of the arrangement consideration for each element of the arrangement. This standard, for which the Company is currently assessing the impact, will become effective on January 1, 2011.

In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC 505, Equity, where entities that declare dividends to shareholders that may be paid in cash or shares at the election of the shareholders are considered to be a share issuance that is reflected prospectively in EPS, and is not accounted for as a stock dividend.  This standard is effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009 and is to be applied on a retrospective basis.  The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, to require reporting entities to separately disclose the amounts and business rationale for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and separately present information regarding purchase, sale, issuance, and settlement of Level 3 fair value measures on a gross basis.  This standard, for which the Company is currently assessing the impact, is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 with the exception of disclosures regarding the purchase, sale, issuance, and settlement of Level 3 fair value measures which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.  

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis and Plan of Operations.


General.


The Company has no revenues from operations. The Company suspended its water bottling operations in Canada during fiscal 2006. Since the suspension of its operations, the Company has sold its real estate located in Coquitlam, British Columbia, and has transported its proprietary oxygenated water producing equipment to Malaysia for storage. In addition to its existing equipment, during 2008 the Company also recovered from Avani O2 Water Sdn. Bhd equipment that was the subject of its prior joint venture with Avani O2.


Shortly after the suspension of its operations, the Company intended to relocate the manufacture and sale of its oxygen enriched bottled water in Malaysia. It later determined not to resume its manufacturing operations in Malaysia due to the capital requirements necessary to resume and sustain manufacturing operations, and instead, intended to seek and identify a joint venture partner or licensee in the Far East to utilize the Company’s proprietary oxygen enriched proprietary equipment. Under this proposed arrangement, the Company expected the licensee or joint venture partner to engage in the actual manufacture and sale of its oxygenated product, subject to the payment of a negotiated royalty to the Company. In doing so, management believed that it would limit its overhead and other expenditures attendant to its operations. However, the Company has been unable to successfully identify a joint venture partner or licensee that will utilized its proprietary bottled water equipment. Consequently, the Company now expects to sell its existing water production equipment  and direct most of its ongoing efforts towards identifying a merger or acquisition candidate, unrelated to the bottled water business. The Company can not predict whether it will be successful in it efforts. (See discussion below in Liquidity and Capital Resources section).


Results of Operations March 31, 2010 compared with March 31, 2009.


Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 2010 compared with March 31, 2009.


During the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009, respectively, the Company had no revenues due to its lack of operations.


Expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, which includes a foreign exchange loss of $8,817 and general and administrative expenses of $21,998, totaled $30,815 contrasted with $69,698 for the comparable period in 2009. The 2009 amount was entirely attributable to general and administrative costs.  General and administrative costs includes salaries for other employees, production and other equipment storage, rent, other office expenses, and legal and accounting fees was $21,998 for the 2010 period compared with $69,698 for the prior period. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is mainly due to the fact no management fees were incurred during the current quarter compared to the prior period quarter and the Company has made efforts to cut down costs to preserve cash. Since June 2006, the Company has been subject to a month to month office lease agreement with an officer and director for a monthly sum of $400. The office space is approximately 120 square feet. The agreement is non-arms length however, the Company believes that the terms are consistent with rates in the area. In addition, the Company also pays Avani Oxygen Water Corporation Sdn Bhd, an unaffiliated third party (“AOWC”), a monthly fee of $3,000 to store production equipment, spare parts and inventory. The leasehold space is approximately 10,000 square feet and the







arrangement is on a month to month basis. The Company has terminated the agreement effective October 31, 2009.


Other income for the three month period in 2010 was $569 compared with other income of $(500) for the same period in 2009. The Company receives non material royalty income from time to time under an arrangement that terminate in 2008. The income is due to inventory sold under the agreement. For the current period the Company received $2,492 in such income and for the prior period $864. Interest expense on an outstanding loan totaled $1,923 for the 2010 period compared with $1,606 for the 2009 period.


For the three month period in 2010, the Company had a foreign exchange loss of $8,817. In the comparable period, the Company had a foreign currency translation adjustment gain of $(7,773) which was included as part of comprehensive loss.


Liquidity and Capital Resources.

As of March 31, 2010, the Company had a working capital deficit of $376,648 compared too a working capital deficit of $350,774 as of December 31, 2009. The decrease in working capital is principally due to the losses which occurred during the current fiscal year.


Property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, totaled $59,355 on March 31, 2010. Property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, totaled $63,727 on December 31, 2008. The decrease is due to depreciation for the three month period in 2010.


The Company believes that it will be able to meet its anticipated expenditures for the 2010 period through some combination of; deferment of paying certain accounts payable and cash on hand. The Company’s projected capital expenditures for 2010 fiscal year are as follows: $25,000 for marketing expenses and $150,000 for general and administrative expenses. Other than as stated, above the Company does not have any projected capital expenditures.


Beyond fiscal 2010, the Company likely will need to raise additional capital pursuant to the private placement of its debt or equity. The Company also is aggressively exploring other business opportunities for purposes of effecting a business acquisition or combination.  In implementing a structure for a particular business acquisition, the Company may become a party to a merger, consolidation, reorganization, joint venture, franchise or licensing agreement with another corporation or entity.  As of the date of this filing, the Company has no formal plan, proposal, agreement, understanding or arrangement to acquire or merge with any specific business or company. The Company can not predict whether it will be sucessful in raising additional capital, or whether it will be sucessful in effecting any form of business acquisition or combination. The private placement of its capital stock in capital raising transaction, or the issuance of capital stock in effecting any form of business acquisition or combination may result in significant dilution to existing shareholders (See disclosure relating to Cautionary Statements in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 (“2009 Form 10-K”). If the Company is unsuccessful in raising required funds, it will have a material adverse impact on the Company and its ability to re-commence operations and its future business in general. Accordingly, the Company’s financial statements contain note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to doubt over the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. In its report on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company’s independent registered accountants included an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s ability to continue as going concern.

Cautionary Statements.  Readers are urged to refer to the section entitled "Cautionary Statements in the Company's 2009 Form 10-K and elsewhere therein for a broader discussion of such risks and uncertainties. These risks include the lack of profitable operations, the need for additional capital to sustain operations, and significant dilution to existing shareholders.


Critical Accounting Policies


Use of Estimates. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related the useful life and recoverability of long lived assets, stock-based compensation, and deferred income tax asset valuations. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

Long-lived Assets. In accordance with ASC 360, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.

Stock-based Compensation. The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.


New Accounting Pronouncements.

In August 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to the measurement of liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis. This standard clarifies how a company should measure the fair value of liabilities and that restrictions preventing the transfer of a liability should not be considered as a factor in the



10




measurement of liabilities within the scope of this standard. This standard is effective for the Company on October 1, 2009. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to the accounting for revenue in arrangements with multiple deliverables including how the arrangement consideration is allocated among delivered and undelivered items of the arrangement. Among the amendments, this standard eliminated the use of the residual method for allocating arrangement considerations and requires an entity to allocate the overall consideration to each deliverable based on an estimated selling price of each individual deliverable in the arrangement in the absence of having vendor-specific objective evidence or other third party evidence of fair value of the undelivered items. This standard also provides further guidance on how to determine a separate unit of accounting in a multiple-deliverable revenue arrangement and expands the disclosure requirements about the judgments made in applying the estimated selling price method and how those judgments affect the timing or amount of revenue recognition. This standard, for which the Company is currently assessing the impact, will become effective on January 1, 2011.

In October 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to certain revenue arrangements that include software elements. This standard clarifies the existing accounting guidance such that tangible products that contain both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality, shall be excluded from the scope of the software revenue recognition accounting standards. Accordingly, sales of these products may fall within the scope of other revenue recognition standards or may now be within the scope of this standard and may require an allocation of the arrangement consideration for each element of the arrangement. This standard, for which the Company is currently assessing the impact, will become effective on January 1, 2011.

In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC 505, Equity, where entities that declare dividends to shareholders that may be paid in cash or shares at the election of the shareholders are considered to be a share issuance that is reflected prospectively in EPS, and is not accounted for as a stock dividend.  This standard is effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009 and is to be applied on a retrospective basis.  The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, to require reporting entities to separately disclose the amounts and business rationale for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and separately present information regarding purchase, sale, issuance, and settlement of Level 3 fair value measures on a gross basis.  This standard, for which the Company is currently assessing the impact, is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 with the exception of disclosures regarding the purchase, sale, issuance, and settlement of Level 3 fair value measures which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.


(a) Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Company’s President and Principal Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of its disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of March 31, 2010 (“Evaluation Date”)for this Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s  President and Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the Evaluation Date as a result of material weaknesses disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 (“2009 Annual Report”).


Disclosure controls and procedures are those control and procedures that are designed to ensure that the information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable SEC rules and forms relating to the Company’s reporting obligations, and was made known to them by others within the Company, particularly during the period when this report was being prepared.


Notwithstanding the assessment that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective and that there were material weaknesses as identified in our 2009 Annual Report, we believe that our financial statements contained in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 fairly present our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in all material respects.


(b) There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during the period ended March 31, 2010 has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the small business issuer's internal control over financial reporting.
