As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, we have generated minimal revenues in the first nine months of 2011 and we have a working capital deficit as of September 30, 2011.

In addition, our Chairman, President and CEO has deferred his entire salary due from April 7, 2011 to the date of this Quarterly Report.
