            April 30, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of

            $125,109 and a working capital deficit of

            $4,167,097.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;For the year ended April 30,

            2013, we had a net loss of $10,812,694 and an operating

            loss of $8,760,271 including an impairment of

            long-lived assets (see Note 7) of

            $4,758,812.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;Cash used in operations was

            $1,359,795.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;

          &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; TEXT-INDENT: 0pt; DISPLAY: block; MARGIN-LEFT: 0pt; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0pt"&gt;

        &lt;font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;Given

        that we have not achieved profitable operations to date,

        our cash requirements are subject to numerous contingencies

        and risks beyond our control, including operational and

        development risks, competition from well-funded

        competitors, and our ability to manage growth. We can offer

        no assurance that the Company will generate cash flow

        sufficient to achieve profitable operations or that our

        expenses will not exceed our

        projections.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;Accordingly, there is substantial

        doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern for

        a reasonable period of time.&lt;/font&gt;

      &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-INDENT: 0pt; DISPLAY: block; MARGIN-LEFT: 0pt; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0pt" align="justify"&gt;

        &lt;font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;There

        can be no assurance that financing will be available to us

        when needed or, if available, or that it can be obtained on

        commercially reasonable terms. Unprecedented disruptions in

        the credit and financial markets over the past two years

        have had a significant material adverse impact on access to

        capital and credit for many companies. Considering our

        financial condition, we may be forced to issue debt or

        equity at less favorable terms than would otherwise be

        available.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;These disruptions could, among other

        things, make it more difficult for the Company to obtain,

        or increase its cost of obtaining capital and financing for

        its operations.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;If we are unable to obtain

        additional or alternative financing on a timely basis and

        are unable to generate sufficient revenues and cash flows,

        we will be unable to meet our capital requirements and will

        be unable to continue as a going concern.&lt;/font&gt;

      &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-INDENT: 0pt; DISPLAY: block; MARGIN-LEFT: 0pt; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0pt" align="justify"&gt;

        &lt;font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;We

        anticipate generating losses in the near term, and

        therefore, may be unable to continue operations in the

        future. To secure additional capital, we will have to issue

        debt or equity or enter into a strategic arrangement with a

        third party.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;There can be no assurance that

        additional capital will be available to us.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;We

        currently have no agreements, arrangements, or

        understandings with any person to obtain funds through bank

        loans, lines of credit, or any other sources. The financial

        statements do not include any adjustments that may be

        necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going

        concern.&lt;/font&gt;
