<div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; text-align: justify"><font style="display: inline; font: 10pt Times New Roman">The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company had a net loss of $1,087,879 and $1,959,818, respectively, as compared to a net loss of $545,512 and $671,524 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.  Additionally, the Company has incurred a net loss of $4,667,437 for the period from inception (November 25, 2009) to June 30, 2013.  As of June 30, 2013, the Company had not emerged from the development stage. These circumstances result in substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company's ability to begin operations and achieve a level of profitability. The Company intends to finance operations by issuing additional common stock, warrants and through bridge financing. The failure to achieve the necessary levels of profitability and obtain the additional funding would be detrimental to the Company. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.</font></div></div>falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaDisclosure of accounting policy for reporting when there is a substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time (generally a year from the balance sheet date). Disclose: (a) pertinent conditions and events giving rise to the assessment of substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time, (b) the possible effects of such conditions and events, (c) management's evaluation of the significance of those conditions and events and any mitigating factors, (d) possible discontinuance of operations, (e) management's plans (including relevant prospective financial information), and (f) information about the recoverability or classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classification of liabilities. If management's plans alleviate the substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosure of the principal conditions and events that initially raised the substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern would be expected to be considered. Disclose whether operations for the current or prior years generated sufficient cash to cover current obligations, whether waivers were obtained from creditors relating to the company's default under the provisions of debt agreements and possible effects of such conditions and events, such as: whether there is a possible need to obtain additional financing (debt or equity) or to liquidate certain holdings to offset future cash flow deficiencies.
