Item 206.

Material Impairments


On September 27, 2004, Health Enhancement Products, Inc. (“HEPI”) concluded that a material charge for impairment to the following indefinite life intangible assets is required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles:  the trademarks and formulas for both the Zodiac Herbal Vitamins and the Zodiac Herbal Teas.  The Company believes that a charge for impairment is required because, given the Company’s current lack of resources, at this time, the Company does not believe that it will, for the foreseeable future, receive any revenue from the sale of the Zodiac Vitamin or Zodiac Herbal Tea products.  Accordingly, the Company believes that the expected cash flows from these assets are less than the carrying amount of the assets ($405,000 at June 30, 2004).


The Company estimates that the impairment charge will be $405,000, the full amount of current carrying value of the assets.
