FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Report contains statements which constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in the ‘‘Risk factors’’ section in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance and you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement. Our actual results may differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements, as they will depend on many factors about which we are unsure, including many factors which are beyond our control. The words ‘‘may,’’ ‘‘would,’’ ‘‘could,’’ ‘‘will,’’ ‘‘expect,’’ ‘‘anticipate,’’ ‘‘believe,’’ ‘‘intend,’’ ‘‘plan,’’ and ‘‘estimate,’’ as well as similar expressions, are meant to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements contained herein include, but are not limited to, statements relating to:

•  our future financial results;
•  our future growth and expansion into new markets; and
•  our future advertising and marketing activities.

Except as otherwise required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement contained in this Annual Report. The safe harbors for forward-looking statements provided by the Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 are unavailable to issuers not previously subject to the reporting requirements set forth under Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and whose securities are considered to be a ‘‘penny stock’’ and accordingly may not be available to us.

As used in this Report, references to the ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ ‘‘our’’ refer to Creative Enterprises International, Inc. unless the context indicates otherwise.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.  ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

Creative Enterprises International, Inc. (the ‘‘Company’’), formerly Inland Pacific Resources, Inc., Sahara Gold Corporation and Parvin Energy, Inc. was organized June 20, 1984 as a Utah Corporation. On July 26, 1985, the Company changed its domicile to a Nevada Corporation.

On December 18, 2001, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of reorganization with Creative Enterprises, Inc. whereby Creative Enterprises, Inc. stockholders acquired 7,500,000 shares of voting common stock of Creative Enterprise International, Inc. in exchange for 7,500,000 shares of voting common stock of Creative Enterprises, Inc. The 7,500,000 shares of Creative Enterprise International, Inc. shares were to be issued as follows: 2,500,000 shares at closing, 2,500,000 shares if Creative Enterprises International, Inc. revenues reached 7.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 and the final 2,500,000 shares to be issued if Creative Enterprises International, Inc. revenues reached $15 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. These goals were not achieved and the 5,000,000 shares to be issued were retired. The effect of this agreement and reorganization was to make Creative Enterprises, Inc. a wholly-owned subsidiary of Creative Enterprises International, Inc.

The Company has one wholly owned subsidiary, Creative Enterprises, Inc. formed in fiscal 2001. Creative Enterprises, Inc. owns Creative Partners International, LLC formed in fiscal 2001. The Company is a marketing company that promotes and wholesales unique consumer products including brands such as Jana, a premium artesian bottled water product which recently won the prestigious 2005 Eauscar Award for ‘‘highest quality’’ at the Aqua-Expo in Paris, France; Skinny Water which is a bottled water enhanced with all-natural appetite suppressant that helps people maintain and loose weight; and others. The Company has secured an exclusive North American license and distributor agreement with Jamnica, d.d. for Jana water and has obtained the exclusive licensing rights to Skinny Water. The term of the agreement with Jamnica is for an initial term of one year from the date the Company receives certain government approvals; this agreement automatically renews thereafter subject to the Company’s achievement of revenue targets. The term of the agreement with Peace Mountain for the licensing rights of Skinny Water is for three years and self renews each year unless terminated. The Company has an agreement with InterHealth Neutraceuticals, on a non-exclusive basis to sell, market, distribute and package Super Citrimax, the active ingredient in Skinny Water. The term of this agreement is in perpetuity unless canceled by either party.

2.  GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has incurred losses since its inception and has not yet been successful in establishing profitable operations. Further, the Company has current liabilities in excess of current assets. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. In this regard, management is proposing to raise any necessary additional funds through sales of its common stock or through loans from shareholders. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital or achieving profitable operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

3.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting Method

The Company’s financial statements are prepared on the accrual method of accounting.

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Creative Enterprises International, Inc. and Creative Enterprises, Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

3.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES   (Continued)

Revenue Recognition

The Company sells products through multiple distribution channels including resellers and distributors. Revenue is recognized when the product is shipped to the customer and is recognized net of discounts and returns.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting the statement of cash flows, the Company includes all cash accounts, which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less as cash and cash equivalents. The carrying amount of financial instruments included in cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the short maturities for the instruments held.

Depreciation

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from five to seven years. Depreciation is computed on the straight line method for financial reporting and income tax purposes.

Accounts Receivable

The Company considers accounts receivable to be fully collectible; accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is required. If amounts become uncollectible, they will be charged to operations when that determination is made. No such charges were recorded for the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

Inventories

Inventory consist of finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or market determined by the first-in, first-out method.

Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available for common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount 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.

4.  RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

FASB Statement No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, became effective for periods after June 15, 2005. The revision to FAS 123 requires financial statement cost recognition for certain share-based payment transactions that are made after the effective date in return for goods and services. Additionally, the revision requires financial statement cost recognition for certain share-based payment transactions that have been made prior to the effective date but for which the requisite service is provided after the effective date. The Company has adopted FASB 123 and the results are reflected in the financial statements.

FASB Statement No. 151, Inventory Costs, an amendment to ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, sets forth certain costs related to inventory that must be included as current period costs. This statement became effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2005 and is not expected to materially impact the Company.

4.  RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS   (Continued)

FASB Statement No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29 became effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2005 and is not expected to materially impact the Company.

FASB Interpretation No. 46, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations was issued in March 2005 and is not expected to materially impact the Company. Through December 31, 2005, no assets acquired by the Company fall within this interpretation.

In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, ‘‘Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations.’’ This Interpretation clarifies that the term conditional asset retirement obligation as used in FASB Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and(or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. The obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and (or) method of settlement. Thus, the timing and (or) method of settlement may be conditional on a future event. Accordingly, an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. The fair value of a liability for the conditional asset retirement obligation should be recognized when incurred-generally upon acquisition, construction, or development and (or) through the normal operation of the asset. Uncertainty about the timing and (or) method of settlement of a conditional asset retirement obligation should be factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists. Statement 143 acknowledges that in some cases, sufficient information may not be available to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. This Interpretation also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. This Interpretation shall be effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The adoption of this Interpretation is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154 Accounting Changes and Error Corrections’’, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20, ‘‘Accounting Changes’’, and FASB Statement No. 3, ‘‘Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements’’. This Statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions, those provisions should be followed. Opinion 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. This Statement requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. When it is impracticable to determine the period-specific effects of an accounting change on one or more individual prior periods presented, this Statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable and that a corresponding adjustment be made to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or net assets in the statement of financial position) for that period rather than being reported in an income statement. When it is impracticable to determine the cumulative effect of applying a change in accounting principle to all prior periods, this Statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied to all other periods, this Statement requires that the new accounting principal be applied as if it were adopted prospectively from the earliest date practicable. This Statement defines retrospective application as the application of a different accounting principle to prior accounting periods as if that principle had always been used or as the adjustment of previously issued financial statements to reflect a change in the reporting entity. This

4.  RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS   (Continued)

Statement also redefines restatement as the revising of previously issued financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. This Statement requires that retrospective application of a change in accounting principle be limited to the direct effects of the change. Indirect effects of a change in accounting principle, such as a change in nondiscretionary profit-sharing payments resulting from an accounting change, should be recognized in the period of the accounting change. This Statement also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long-lived, nonfinancial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate affected by a change in accounting principle. This Statement carries forward without change the guidance contained in Opinion 20 for reporting the correction of an error in previously issued financial statements and a change in accounting estimate. This Statement also carries forward the guidance in Opinion 20 requiring justification of a change in accounting principle on the basis of preferability. This Statement shall be effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2005. Early adoption is permitted for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after the date this Statement is issued. The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

5.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In February 2004, an officer and shareholder purchased 1,000,000 shares of stock by converting 244,671 of shareholders loans owed from the Company and creating a $25,239 stock subscriptions receivable to the Company. This amount was paid in full on September 30, 2005.

6.  PENDING CLAIMS

On January 19, 2006, the Company received a demand for arbitration filed by our New York distributor. The demand was seeking damages of $179,236 including all fees. The Company has settled this demand with this distributor and has reflected the $40,000 settlement in the attached financial statements. The settlement is payable in 4 equal installments of $10,000 starting August 10, 2006.

7.  CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

Through June 30, 2006, Company raised an aggregate amount of $3,201,200 ($2,693,450 was raised during fiscal year 2005, $507,750 was raised during fiscal year 2004) from the sale of our convertible debentures to accredited investors in a private placement pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Each $40,000 debenture is convertible into a conversion unit consisting of 100,000 shares of our common stock and 100,000 common stock purchase warrants. Both the common stock and the warrants are issued only upon the conversion of the convertible debenture into the appropriate number of common shares. Accordingly, APB 14 does not apply. The initial conversion price is $0.40 per share. The conversion price is subject to adjustment in the event we subdivide, combine or reclassify our common stock into a greater or lesser number of shares (as the case may be) or make a dividend or distribution to stockholders in shares of common stock. Each debenture will mature two years from the date of issuance unless previously converted. Interest is earned on each debenture at the rate of 10% per annum. Interest shall be paid in full at the maturity date or such earlier date on which the principal is paid to the holder or on which the debenture is converted or exchanged pursuant to its terms. The accrued but unpaid interest on each debenture shall be payable in cash or in interest shares, at the option of the Company, so long as there is an effective registration statement providing for the resale of the interest shares. The Company may, at its option, prepay some or all of the debentures upon not less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior written notice at a prepayment price equal to the principal amount of the debentures to be prepaid, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of prepayment.

7.  CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES   (Continued)

The outstanding convertible debentures include an aggregate principal amount of approximately $2.4 million that was subject to a rescission offer which expired on October 31, 2005 and our sale of an additional $165,000 of convertible debentures that were offered concurrently with the rescission offer. Holders of an aggregate of $160,000 of convertible debentures principal amount of convertible debentures elected to accept our rescission offer. These rescissions were paid on October 7, 2005.

At June 30, 2006, holders of $791,200 of these debentures converted to 1,978,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Should the investors not convert their remaining debentures, the Company would have to pay the holders as follows:


Year 1 $ 1,037,000
Year 2 $ 1,478,000
8.  SALE OF SECURITIES

The Company raised a total of $205,000 during the quarter ended December 31, 2005 to accredited investors from the sale of 512,500 shares of its common stock at $.40 per share. These shares also included a five-year warrant attached for each share, for total of 512,500 warrants. Additionally, the company raised an additional $275,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 to accredited investors from the sale of 687,500 shares of its common stock at $.40 per share. These shares included a five-year warrant attached for each share, for total of 687,500 warrants.

9.  LINE OF CREDIT

The Company obtained a $500,000 letter of credit with Wachovia Bank to secure our purchase orders with Agrokor. This letter of credit was secured by personal assets of our chairman and bore interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum. The Company borrowed $314,000 against this letter of credit in placing our initial order with Agrokor for 1,200,000 bottles of product. These bottles have been shipped into the U.S. The letter of credit was originally supported by a $500,000 demand note (line of credit) issued to Wachovia through Madison Bank. On June 1, 2005, our obligations were transferred to Madison Bank. The interest on the demand note is one percent above the prime rate and the outstanding balance is due on the bank’s demand.

10.  NOTES PAYABLE

As of March 20, 2006, the Company’s Chairman and former Chief Executive Officer and three separate unaffiliated accredited investors provided the Company with a loan in the aggregate principal amount of $442,000, of which $242,000 was provided by our chairman. The Company issued these investors a convertible promissory note which is convertible into securities the Company may issue in any financing transaction that we consummate during the term of the notes. The notes are due one year from the date of issuance and accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum, payable upon maturity.

The Company borrowed an additional $250,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2006, part from the Chief Financial Officer, part from a Director and part from an accredited investor. These notes are due in one year or upon conversion into a subsequent financing, whichever comes first. The notes pay interest at the rate of 10% per annum.

12.  CASH DEPOSITED IN FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts and financial institutions. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. The bank accounts at times exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts.

13.  INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS’’) No 109 Accounting for Income Taxes’’. SFAS 109 requires the Company to provide a net deferred tax asset/liability equal to the expected future tax benefit/expense of temporary reporting differences between book and tax accounting methods and any available operating loss or tax credit carryforwards. At June 30, 2006, the Company has available unused operating loss carryforwards on which may be applied against future taxable income and which expire in various years through 2020.

The amount of and ultimate realization of the benefits from the operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes is dependent, in part, upon the tax laws in effect, the future earnings of the Company, and other future events, the effects of which cannot be determined because of the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the loss carryforwards the Company has established a valuation allowance equal to the tax effect of the loss carryforwards and, therefore, no deferred tax asset has been recognized for the loss carryforwards. The net deferred tax assets and the offsetting valuation allowance of the same amount is undeterminable for the 6 months ended June 30, 2006.

14.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

At June 30, 2006, the Company had 50,000,000 shares of common stock authorized par value $.001. Shares outstanding June 30, 2006 was 16,105,000.

15.  STOCK OPTIONS

Under the Company's stock option plan the Company may grant incentive and non statutory options to employees, non employee members of the Board and consultants and other independent advisors who provide services to the Corporation. The maximum shares of common stock which may be issued over the term of the plan shall not exceed 1,000,000 shares. The maximum number of shares that may be granted under the plan to any one individual in any one year is 100,000. Awards under this plan are made by the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board.

Options under the plan are to be issued at the market price of the stock on the day of the grant except to those issued to 10% or more stockholders which shall be issued at 110% of the fair market price on the day of the grant. Each option exercisable at such time or times, during such period and for such numbers of shares shall be determined by the Plan Administrator. However, no option shall have a term in excess of 10 years from the date of the grant.

On January 18, 2002, the Company issued options exercisable for 450,000 shares of its common stock. These options were issued without cash consideration. All the options were exercisable immediately at .50 per share. 300,000 options were later returned to the Company and cancelled. As of March 31, 2006 only 150,000 options were outstanding.

16.  STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS

In March 2004, the Company granted 1,000,000 warrants to purchase its common stock for a purchase price of $.20 per share to an investor in connection with an investment in the Company. The warrants grant the holder the right to purchase common stock from the date of the grant to March 2012. Subsequently, in February 2005, an additional 100,000 warrants were granted to distributor for a purchase price of $.40 per share as an incentive to enter into an exclusive marketing agreement for New York. The warrants can be exercised at the purchase price of $.40 any time from the date of grant through February 2013.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2005, the Company issued 1,338,000 warrants to investors who converted their convertible debentures into shares of common stock. These warrants have an exercise price of $0.75 each.

17.  LOSS PER SHARE

Loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares. Dilutive loss per share was not presented, as the Company as of June 30, 2006 and 2005 issued 150,000 options and 2,438,000 warrants which would have an antidilutive effect on earnings.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Report. Except for historical information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. See ‘‘Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward Looking Statements’’ above.

Overview

We were originally incorporated in the State of Utah on June 20, 1984 as Parvin Energy, Inc. Our name was later changed to Sahara Gold Corporation and on July 26, 1985 we changed our corporate domicile to the State of Nevada and on January 24, 1994 we changed our name to Inland Pacific Resources, Inc. On December 18, 2001, we entered into an agreement and plan of reorganization with Creative Enterprises, Inc. and changed our name to Creative Enterprises International, Inc. This discussion relates solely to the operations of Creative Enterprises International, Inc.

We have had limited operations to date and until 2005 our efforts were focused primarily on the development and implementation of our business plan. Since the middle of 2005 we have engaged in significant marketing and sales activities related to our business plan of selling bottled waters and dietary supplements. We have generated revenues of $514,146 for all of fiscal 2005 and $602,469 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and incurred a net loss of $3,429,846 for fiscal 2005 and $1,182,517 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The net loss includes general and administrative expenses related to the costs of start-up operations and a significant amount of marketing expenses related to establishing our brand in the market.  In addition, the net loss includes a significant amount of public company expenses incurred to become a reporting company and transition the company from the pink sheets to the OTC Bulletin Boards. Since the date of the merger and reorganization, we have raised capital through private sales of our common equity and debt securities.

We operate our business in the rapidly evolving consumer beverage industry and our principal products are an exclusive line of bottled artesian waters and a dietary supplement. Our line of bottled waters presently consists of Jana Natural Artesian Water and Jana Natural Flavored Artesian Water (Lemon-Lime and Strawberry-Guava) and our dietary supplement product is Jana Skinny Water. We expect to introduce the following additional bottled water products when management determines that market conditions warrant:

•    Jana Juicy Fruits Natural Noncarbonated Beverages (Red-Orange; Orange-Nectarine; Multivitamin and Multired); and

•    powdered and flavored Skinny Water (Lemon-Lime, Strawberry-Guava and Tangerine).

We have entered into a license and distribution agreement with Jamnica that grants us an exclusive license to distribute Jamnica’s bottled waters in North America. Jamnica, under our license agreement, manufactures the products on our behalf. Our agreement with Jamnica is for an initial term commencing on the date we receive government approvals to distribute the products in the sales territory and continues for a period of one year from the date the approvals are received. We received approval from the State of New York in April 2005 and the State of California in June 2005. The agreement will automatically renew for additional one year terms provided we satisfy certain sales volume targets. If we are unable to satisfy these targets, Jamnica has the right to either terminate the agreement or to appoint additional distributors in the territory. The occurrence of either of these contingencies may result in a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Based on the sales of Jana Water and Skinny Water to date, we have not satisfied these targets. Accordingly, we have been in discussions with Jamnica to revise the agreement to modify these targets. No assurances can be given that we will be able to reach an agreement to modify the contract terms, in which case, Jamnica may have the rights previously described. To date, Jamnica has not notified us that it intends to exercise these rights.

We have also obtained the exclusive rights from Peace Mountain Natural Beverages Corporation to bottle and distribute a dietary supplement called Skinny Water®. Skinny Water’s proprietary formula has

15




Table of Contents

an all-natural appetite suppressant that helps people maintain and lose weight when taken in conjunction with diet and exercise. We are focusing on the distribution of Skinny Water in connection with our relationship with Jamnica. Our agreement with Peace Mountain will renew automatically provided that we satisfy the minimum purchase amount specified in the contract or make a $10,000 monthly payment.

We will principally generate revenues, income and cash by introducing, marketing, selling and distributing finished beverage products. We generally sell these products to national retailers and distributors. We have been focused on, and will continue in 2006 to increase our existing product lines and further develop our markets.

Our primary operating expenses include the following: direct operating expenses, such as transportation, warehousing and storage, overhead, fees and royalties to our suppliers and licensors and marketing costs. We have and will continue to incur significant marketing expenditures to support our brands including advertising costs, sponsorship fees and special promotional events. We focus on developing brand awareness and trial through sampling both in stores and at events. Retailers and distributors may receive rebates, promotions, point of sale materials and merchandise displays. We seek to use in-store promotions and in-store placement of point-of-sale materials and racks, price promotions, sponsorship and product endorsements. The intent of these marketing expenditures is to enhance distribution and availability of our products as well as awareness and increase consumer preference for our brand. Greater distribution and availability, awareness and preference promote long term growth.

On March 20, 2006, we entered into an agreement with Exclusive Beverage Distributors to serve the New York City and Long Island, N.Y. markets on an exclusive basis. The initial term of this agreement will expire December 31, 2009 and we will distribute our Jana Natural Artesian Water, Jana Flavored Water and Skinny Water products in the designated territory pursuant to this agreement. Although this agreement includes a minimum purchase commitment on behalf of the distributor, we will need this distributor to exceed that volume in order to derive meaningful revenues from this relationship. We have established relationships with 11 beverage distributors serving 12 markets as well as with national retailers, including Target, Safeway and Rite-Aid. However, as these distributors and retailers are not bound by significant minimum purchase commitments, we must rely on recurring purchase orders for product sales. Accordingly, we cannot determine the frequency or amount of orders any retailer or distributor may make.

Effective March 8, 2006, we reorganized our executive management team and elected Messrs. Christopher Durkin and James Robb to serve as members of our board of directors and appointed Mr. Durkin as our Chief Executive Officer and President, replacing Mr. Michael Salaman. In addition, Mr. Scott Perlstein, a member of our board of directors resigned from the board as of such date.

Going Concern and Management Plans

We have an immediate need for cash to fund our working capital requirements and business model objectives and we intend to either undertake private placements of our securities, either as a self-offering or with the assistance of registered broker-dealers, or negotiate a private sale of our securities to one or more institutional investors. However, except as discussed below under the caption ‘‘Liquidity and Capital Resources’’ we currently have no firm agreements with any third-parties for such transactions and no assurances can be given that we will be successful in raising sufficient capital from any of these proposed financings. Generating sales in the next six to 12 months is important to support our business. However, we cannot guarantee that we will generate such growth.  If we do not generate sufficient cash flow to support our operations during that time frame, we will need to raise additional capital and may need to do so sooner than currently anticipated. Our independent auditors have included a ‘‘going concern’’ explanatory paragraph in their report to our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005, citing recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations. We can not assure you that any financing can be obtained or, if obtained, that it will be on reasonable terms. Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for us to continue as a going concern.

In June 2006, two of our directors provided us with a loan in the aggregate amount of $50,000, in consideration of which we issued a convertible promissory note that is convertible into the securities we issue in any financing transaction of at least $500,000 gross proceeds that we consummate during the term

16




Table of Contents

of the Note. The Note is due one year from the date of issuance and the principal amount of the Note shall accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum, payable upon maturity. In April 2006, we borrowed an additional $200,000 from an accredited investor and issued a convertible Note, which is convertible into securities we may issue in any financing transaction that we consummate during the term of the Note. The Note is due one year from the date of issuance and shall accrue interest at the rate of 4% per annum, payable upon maturity.

As of March 20, 2006, we issued convertible notes in the aggregate amount of $442,000 to Michael Salaman, our Chairman and former Chief Executive Officer and three other accredited investors. The notes are convertible at the option of the holder, into the securities we issue in any financing transaction we consummate during the term of the Notes. The Notes are due one year from the date of issuance and the principal amount of the Notes shall accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum, payable upon maturity.

We raised an additional $205,000 during December 2005 from the sale of 512,500 shares of our common stock and 512,500 warrants to certain accredited investors in a private transaction pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933. In addition, we have raised an additional $275,000 during the current fiscal year from the sale of 687,500 shares of our common stock and 687,500 warrants to certain accredited investors in a private transaction pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933.

From September 2004 to December 2004 and from June 2005 through August 2005, we offered and sold convertible debentures to investors in various states. These sales of convertible debentures were subject to federal and state securities laws and by reason of our failure to file blue sky notices in connection with the sales, we concluded (after consultation with counsel) that these investors may have been entitled to return their securities to us and receive from us the full price they paid, which we estimate to be an aggregate amount of approximately $2.4 million, plus interest. As a result, we conducted a rescission offer, which expired October 31, 2005, to all those persons who purchased convertible debentures during the affected periods. Investors holding affected convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $160,000 elected to accept the rescission offer. The full amount of the debentures rescinded was repaid on October 7, 2005.

We believe that an investor’s acceptance of the rescission offer will preclude him or her from later seeking similar relief, and we are unaware of any federal or state case law to the contrary. However, it is unclear whether the rescission offer will terminate our liability under the Securities Act of 1933 and certain state securities laws. The staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission takes the position that a person’s federal right of rescission may survive the rescission offer. Accordingly, we may continue to be potentially liable under the Securities Act to investors that declined the rescission offer for the purchase price they paid for their debentures, plus interest.

Critical Accounting Policies

The application of the following accounting policies, which are important to our financial position and results of operations, requires significant judgments and estimates on the part of management. For a summary of all of our accounting policies, including the accounting policies discussed below, see note 3 to our audited consolidated financial statements set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005..

Results of Operations: Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2005

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2006 were $285,662 as compared to $95,651 in the second quarter of last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, our revenues were $602,469 as compared to $95,652 for the same period last year. Cost of goods sold was $150,912 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $37,219 incurred during the same period last year and $440,753 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $58,251 for the same period in 2005. Initial product orders did not occur until May 2005, so the year to year comparisons are immaterial. Marketing and advertising costs were $104,743 for the second quarter of 2006 as compared to $285,814 for the second quarter of last

year, or a decrease of 63%. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, marketing and advertising costs decreased 49% (from $358,398 in 2005 to $181,737 in 2006). This decrease was a result of our focus on cost containment and transitioning to the NASDAQ OTC Bulletin Board.

General and administrative costs (which include salaries, rent, office overhead, and public company expenses) were $411,181 for the quarter, up 45%% over the same period last year and $994,526 for the 6 months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $457,229 over the same period in 2005. This increase is primarily due to the increase in these general and administrative expenses during the last quarter of fiscal year 2005 and the six months ended June 30, 2006. We incurred insignificant amounts of costs associated with the business prior to the third fiscal quarter of our 2005 year as well as legal and accounting fees to become a reporting company on the NASDAQ OTC Bulletin Board. For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, we also incurred additional expenses in connection with operating as a reporting company, which began in December 2005.

Interest expense was $91,443 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 and $167,970 for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $46,834 and $46,833 for the respective periods last year. This interest is primarily on the convertible debt.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically primarily been funded through the issuance of common stock, debt securities and external borrowings. We have an immediate need for cash to fund our working capital requirements and business model objectives. As of June 30, 2006, we had approximately $2,600,000 in working capital deficit and our cash balance was approximately $16,300. To provide for additional working capital, during the 2005 fiscal year, we raised approximately $2.6 million through private placement of convertible debentures and we have raised an additional $205,000 from the private sale of shares of common stock and warrants to accredited investors. We have also received short-term loans from unaffiliated third-parties of approximately $220,000, of which the principal amount of approximately $145,000 was outstanding as of March 31, 2006. This loan bears interest at the rate of 15% per annum and is due August 24, 2006.

In June 2006, two of our directors provided us with a loan in the aggregate amount of $50,000, in consideration of which we issued a convertible promissory note that is convertible into the securities we issue in any financing transaction of at least $500,000 gross proceeds that we consummate during the term of the Note. The Note is due one year from the date of issuance and the principal amount of the Note shall accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum, payable upon maturity. In April 2006 we borrowed an additional $200,000 from an accredited investor and issued a convertible note (‘‘Note’’), which is convertible into securities we may issue in any financing transaction that we may consummate during the term of the Note. The Note is due one year from the date of issuance and shall accrue interest at the rate of 4% per annum, payable upon maturity.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, we raised an additional $275,000 from the private sale of shares of common stock and warrants to accredited investors, receiving net proceeds of $247,500 after payment of commissions to a registered broker-dealer, which we will use for working capital and general corporate purposes. In addition, as of March 20, 2006, we received an aggregate amount of $442,000 in loans made by our Chairman and former Chief Executive Officer and three additional accredited investors. The principal amount of these loans will be convertible into securities we may issue in any financing transaction that we consummate during the term of the Notes. The Notes are due one year from the date of issuance and shall accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum, payable upon maturity.

We believe that net cash on hand as of the date of this Quarterly Report and to be raised in private placements of our securities will only be sufficient to meet our expected cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for a period of two to four months. If we are unable to raise additional funds from private sales of our securities, our current cash balance will not be sufficient to meet our expected needs for more than 2 months. If we are able to meet our operating targets, however, we believe that we will be able to satisfy our working capital requirements.

We have developed operating plans (forecasts) that project profitability based on known assumptions of units sold, retail and wholesale pricing, cost of goods sold, operating expenses as well as the investment

18




Table of Contents

in advertising and marketing. These operating plans are adjusted monthly based on actual results for the current period and projected into the future and include statement of operations, balance sheets and sources and uses of cash. No assurances can be given that our operating plans are accurate nor can any assurances be provided that we will attain any such targets that we may develop.

To raise additional funds, we intend to either undertake private placements of our securities, either as a self-offering or with the assistance of registered broker-dealers, or negotiate a private sale of our securities to one or more institutional investors. We currently have no firm agreements with any third-parties for additional transactions and no assurances can be given that we will be successful in raising sufficient capital from any of these proposed financings. Further, we cannot assure you that any additional financing will be available or, even if it is available that it will be on terms acceptable to us. Any inability to obtain required financing on sufficiently favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. If we are unsuccessful in raising additional capital and increasing revenues from operations, we will need to reduce costs and operations substantially. Further, if expenditures required to achieve our plans are greater than projected or if revenues are less than, or are generated more slowly than, projected, we will need to raise a greater amount of funds than currently expected. Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for us to continue as a going concern.

In August 2005 we commenced an offering to sell an additional $3.4 million of convertible debentures to additional accredited investors under Rule 506, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. The convertible debentures subject to this offering are identical to the debentures we sold in a private placement that we commenced in January 2005. Up to $2.4 million of this amount was subject to a rescission offer to certain investors that previously purchased convertible debentures. In the rescission offer, we offered to repurchase these debentures for the original purchase price plus interest from the date of purchase at the current statutory rate per year mandated by the state in which the investor resides. This offer expired as of October 31, 2005. Holders of an aggregate of $160,000 of debentures elected to accept this rescission offer, with the balance confirming their prior investment. We repaid these investors out of working capital.

In addition, we had obtained a $500,000 letter of credit with Wachovia Bank to secure our purchase orders with Agrokor. This letter of credit was secured by personal assets of our Chairman and bore interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum. We borrowed $314,000 against this letter of credit in placing our initial order with Agrokor for 1,200,000 bottles of product. These bottles have been shipped into the U.S. The letter of credit was originally supported by a $500,000 demand note (line of credit) issued to Wachovia through Madison Bank. On June 1, 2005, our obligations were transferred to Madison Bank. The interest on the demand note is one percent above the prime rate and the outstanding balance is due on the bank’s demand.

In December 2004, we entered into an exclusive five year agreement with Big Geyser, Inc., to distribute our products in the New York City market. However, as described above, we terminated this agreement in January 2006. We do not believe that the termination of our agreement with Big Geyser will have a material adverse impact on our operations. However, Big Geyser disputed our ability to terminate the agreement for cause and commenced an arbitration against us with the American Arbitration Association seeking damages. As described in greater detail under the caption ‘‘Legal Proceedings’’ at Item 1 of Part II of this Quarterly Report, we have agreed to a settlement of this matter and will pay Big Geyser $40,000 in four equal monthly installments.

Break Even and Profitability

As of June 30, 2006, our financial plan showed that based on current wholesale prices and costs of its products, will require sales of approximately 54,000 cases per month to break even, excluding marketing and sales expenses which are considered investments and classified separately on our financial statements. Based on our current business arrangements, we expect to meet that goal by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 or first quarter of 2007. However, our expectations may not be correct, our expenses may increase, our business arrangements may not result in the level of sales that we anticipate and we cannot offer any assurance that we will be able to achieve sufficient sales to realize this target during this year.

Product Research and Development

We intend to expand our line of products, as described in the ‘‘Overview’’ section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis, at such time as management believes that market conditions are appropriate. Management will base this determination on the rate of market acceptance of the products we currently offer. We do not engage in material product research and development activities. New products are formulated based on our license arrangements with our suppliers and licensors.

Marketing/Advertising

In connection with our recent marketing campaign, we have invested over $900,000 of our working capital during the 2005 fiscal year and an additional $350,000 during the first six months of 2006 to fund various advertising and marketing programs to introduce our products to numerous distribution channels and retail outlets in the U.S. These programs have included developing marketing strategies and collateral material, conducting advertising initiatives and investing in initial store placements.

Purchase or sale of plant or significant equipment

As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we do not have any plans to purchase plant or significant equipment.

Expected changes in the number of employees

As of June 30, 2006 we have 5 employees including, our Chief Executive Officer. Two of our employees are dedicated sales representatives and one employee is administrative support.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not created, and are not party to, any special-purpose or off-balance sheet entities for the purpose of raising capital, incurring debt or operating parts of our business that are not consolidated into our financial statements and do not have any arrangements or relationships with entities that are not consolidated into our financial statements that are reasonably likely to materially affect our liquidity or the availability of our capital resources.

We have entered into various agreements by which we may be obligated to indemnify the other party with respect to certain matters. Generally, these indemnification provisions are included in contracts arising in the normal course of business under which we customarily agree to hold the indemnified party harmless against losses arising from a breach of the contract terms. Payments by us under such indemnification clauses are generally conditioned on the other party making a claim. Such claims are generally subject to challenge by us and to dispute resolution procedures specified in the particular contract. Further, our obligations under these arrangements may be limited in terms of time and/or amount and, in some instances, we may have recourse against third parties for certain payments made by us. It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under these indemnification agreements due to the conditional nature of our obligations and the unique facts of each particular agreement. Historically, we have not made any payments under these agreements that have been material individually or in the aggregate. As of December 31, 2005, we were not aware of any obligations under such indemnification agreements that would require material payments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

FASB Statement No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, became effective for periods after June 15, 2005. The revision to FAS 123 requires financial statement cost recognition for certain share-based payment transactions that are made after the effective date in return for goods and services. Additionally, the revision requires financial statement cost recognition for certain share-based payment transactions that have been made prior to the effective date but for which the requisite service is provided after the effective date. We have adopted FASB 123 and the results are reflected in the financial statements.

FASB Statement No. 151, Inventory Costs, an amendment to ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, sets forth certain costs related to inventory that must be included as current period costs. This statement became effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2005 and is not expected to materially impact us.

FASB Statement No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29 became effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2005 and is not expected to materially impact us.

FASB Interpretation No. 46, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations was issued in March 2005 and is not expected to materially impact our company. Through December 31, 2005, no assets that we acquired fall within this interpretation.

In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, ‘‘Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations.’’ This Interpretation clarifies that the term conditional asset retirement obligation as used in FASB Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and(or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity.

The obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and (or) method of settlement. Thus, the timing and (or) method of settlement may be conditional on a future event. Accordingly, an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. The fair value of a liability for the conditional asset retirement obligation should be recognized when incurred-generally upon acquisition, construction, or development and (or) through the normal operation of the asset. Uncertainty about the timing and (or) method of settlement of a conditional asset retirement obligation should be factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists. Statement 143 acknowledges that in some cases, sufficient information may not be available to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. This Interpretation also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. This Interpretation shall be effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The adoption of this Interpretation is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154 Accounting Changes and Error Corrections’’, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20, ‘‘Accounting Changes’’, and FASB Statement No. 3, ‘‘Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements’’. This Statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions, those provisions should be followed. Opinion 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. This Statement requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. When it is impracticable to determine the period-specific effects of an accounting change on one or more individual prior periods presented, this Statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable and that a corresponding adjustment be made to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or net assets in the statement of financial position) for that period rather than being reported in an income statement. When it is impracticable to determine the cumulative effect of applying a change in accounting principle to all prior periods, this Statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied to all other periods, this Statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied as if it were adopted prospectively from the earliest date practicable. This Statement defines retrospective application as the application of a different accounting principle to prior accounting periods as if that principle had always been used or as the adjustment of previously issued financial statements to reflect a change in the reporting entity. This Statement also redefines restatement as the revising of previously issued financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. This Statement requires that retrospective application of a change in accounting principle be limited to the direct effects of the change. Indirect effects of a change

in accounting principle, such as a change in nondiscretionary profit-sharing payments resulting from an accounting change, should be recognized in the period of the accounting change. This Statement also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long-lived, nonfinancial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate affected by a change in accounting principle. This Statement carries forward without change the guidance contained in Opinion 20 for reporting the correction of an error in previously issued financial statements and a change in accounting estimate. This Statement also carries forward the guidance in Opinion 20 requiring justification of a change in accounting principle on the basis of preferability. This Statement shall be effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2005. Early adoption is permitted for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after the date this Statement is issued. The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Item 3.    Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the year to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accurately recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Internal Controls

In connection with the effectiveness of our Registration Statement on Form 10-SB, we first became subject to the reporting obligations of Section 13 of the Exchange Act in December 2005. Accordingly, we have recently adopted and implemented various measures in order to improve control processes and corporate governance. As a non-reporting company, we were not required to adopt the types of internal control procedures that a public company must adopt and maintain. Accordingly, we have recently taken numerous steps to enhance existing policies, or implement new ones, so as to have an effective system of internal controls over financial reporting. These measures, which either have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting, include the development of policies and procedures and the training of employees on existing policies and procedures in an effort to continuously improve our overall control environment. Except for the improvements described above, there have been no other changes in the internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal controls over financial reporting.

We do not expect that disclosure controls or internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors or all instances of fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of

fraud, if any, within its company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and any design may not succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitation of a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Part II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings.

Except as described below, we are not currently a party to any lawsuit or proceeding which, in the opinion of our management, is likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

On January 19, 2006 we received a demand for arbitration filed by Big Geyser, Inc. arising out of our determination to terminate the distribution agreement with Big Geyser. In its demand, Big Geyser has claimed that Creative Enterprises wrongfully terminated the distribution agreement and is obligated to pay Big Geyser a termination fee and is seeking additional costs, including attorneys’ fees. The total damages being sought by claimant is $175,236. The arbitration demand was filed with the American Arbitration Association in New York, New York., In April 2005, we responded to the claim alleged by Big Geyser and filed a counterclaim alleging damages of approximately $64,000 based on breach of various clauses of the agreement. Subsequently, we settled this claim with Big Geyser for $40,000, which amount is due in four equal monthly installments starting August 10, 2006.

We are currently the co-defendant along with our Chairman in a civil suit filed in Miami-Dade County Circuit Court under the caption Swan v. Salaman and Creative Enterprises International, Inc. Plaintiff claims that we breached an oral agreement of employment and is seeking compensatory damages. A motion to dismiss filed by the co-defendants was rejected in part and is pending in part. We will vigorously defend this matter if our motion to dismiss is denied. Based on the facts of which we are currently aware, management believes that the resolution of this claim will not have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition. However, no assurances can be given that such belief will ultimately prove to be accurate or that other facts adverse to our position currently not known to management will not be uncovered, in which case the ultimate resolution of this claim could potentially have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

In addition, we may be subject to other claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Our management considers that any liability from any reasonably foreseeable disposition of such other claims and litigation, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 2.    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On June 5, 2006, Christopher Durkin, our Chief Executive Officer and a member of our board of directors, and James Robb, a member of our board of directors, each provided us with a loan in the amount $25,000, in consideration of which we issued a convertible promissory note (the ‘‘Note’’) in the form annexed to this Current Report. At the option of the holder, the Note will be convertible into the securities we issue in any financing transaction of at least $500,000 gross proceeds that we consummate during the term of the Note. The Note will be due one year from the date of issuance and the principal amount of the Note shall accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum, payable upon maturity. The Note was issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as Messrs. Durkin and Robb are accredited investors. The Note is a restricted security under the terms of the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be transferred or resold for a period of one year, except pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or an exemption thereunder.

Stock Repurchases

During the quarter ended June 30, 2006, we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock.
