Item 3.03 Material modification to Rights of Security Holders.

On December 28, 2007, our board of directors approved a 1-for-25 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) of our outstanding common stock, no par value per share (the “Common Stock”). The Reverse Split was duly approved by a majority of our stockholders on January 15, 2008.   Pursuant to the Reverse Split, every twenty-five (25) shares of our issued and outstanding Common Stock as presently classified were, as of the open of business on June 11, 2008, reclassified and combined into one (1) whole post-split share of our Common Stock. No fractional shares of our Common Stock will be issued in connection with the Reverse Split. Any fractional shares will be rounded up. There will not be a corresponding reduction in our authorized Common Stock. The Reverse Split was effected at the open of business on June 11, 2008 (the “Record Date”), and the post-split shares began trading on the OTC Bulletin Board at the opening of business on June 11, 2008 (the “Effective Date”), or at such time thereafter as trading occurs. The CUSIP number for the post Reverse Split stock is 286202 205. Our new symbol is ETAK.

Immediately upon affecting the Reverse Split, each shareholder’s percentage ownership interest in us and proportional voting power will remain virtually unchanged except for minor changes that will result from rounding fractional shares into whole shares. However, as more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, we are obligated to issue shares of our Common Stock to various parties. We intend to satisfy our obligations, as adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split, on the Effective Date. Upon these issuances our existing shareholders will experience substantial dilution in both their ownership interest and proportional voting power. The rights and privileges of the holders of our Common Stock will be substantially unaffected by the Reverse Split. All issued and outstanding options, warrants, and convertible securities will be appropriately adjusted for the Reverse Split.

In connection with the Reverse Split there is no requirement that shareholders obtain new or replacement stock certificates. The presently issued certificates shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of post-split shares that result from the Reverse Split. Each shareholder of record of shares of our Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Split may, but shall not be required to, contact our Transfer Agent to exchange the certificates originally representing such shareholder’s shares of pre-split Common Stock for new certificates representing the number of whole shares of post-split Common Stock into which the shares have been converted. There may be a fee for such new certificates. Otherwise, new certificates shall be issued upon any transfer of shares of Common Stock after the Reverse Split. The contact information for our transfer agent is:
