Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

We are still in the process of completing a private placement transaction and we are hopeful that we will complete such transaction after the Memorial Day holiday break and will file our Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006 and our 10-QSB for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 as soon as possible thereafter. In accordance with NASD rules requiring filing of our annual report with the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) no later than 30 days after such filing was required to be completed we were given thirty days until May 18, 2007 to file our Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006 or face removal of the listing of our common stock from the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB). We were not able to comply with the NASD’s notice. Accordingly a removal announcement was posted on the daily list today, 5/21/07, at http://www.OTCBB.com that our common stock will be delisted from the OTC Bulletin Board and moved to the Pink Sheets effective May 22, 2007.

After the closing of our private placement, and the filing of our past due Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006 and our 10-QSB for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 with the SEC, we will proceed to take the steps necessary to have our common stock again listed on the OTCBB.
