Our report on the consolidated financial statements dated March 28, 2012 contains an explanatory paragraph that states that the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and a deficit accumulated during the development stage that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
