EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Form 10-K/A (“Amendment No. 1”) amends the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2010 (the “Original Report”).  The purpose of this Amendment No. 1 is to amend Item 9A(T) in the Original Report to provide a statement as to whether the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective. This Amendment No. 1 does not amend, update or change any other items or disclosures contained in the Original Report or otherwise reflect events that occurred subsequent to the filing of the Original Report.

Item 9A (T). Controls and Procedures

Internal Controls

Evaluation of our Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls

Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our chief executive and financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this annual report (the “Evaluation Date”). The disclosure controls and procedures are intended to insure that the information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) 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. Our management has concluded that based on their evaluation that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. The Company failed to state this conclusion in the Company’ s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on  March 31, 2010, due to an oversight. Management has concluded that internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2009 as further described below.

Management's Annual Report on Internal Controls and Procedures.

Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. In evaluating the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework.

Based upon our assessment and the COSO criteria, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2009 due to a material weakness. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

More specifically, the material weakness relates to a lack of sufficient personnel with appropriate knowledge, experience and training in U.S. GAAP resulting in a lack of sufficient analysis and documentation of the application of U.S. GAAP to transactions, including but not limited to accounting for modification of debt.

Due to our small size, limited financial resources, and turnover of our Chief Financial Officer, who has been the only individual involved in our accounting and financial reporting, there has been no segregation of duties within the accounting function. This lack of segregation of duties represents a material weakness.

In efforts to address this material weakness, we are planning to add additional personnel to the internal accounting operation.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Controls.   There were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2009, that have materially affected, or are reasonably like to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

The Company's management does not expect that the Company's disclosure controls or the Company's internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are 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, have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.
