Explanatory Note

This Form 10-K/A is being filed as Amendment No. 1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, which was filed with the SEC on April 14, 2011 (“Original Annual Report”), for the purpose of restating the disclosure in Item 9A Controls and Procedures to respond to the SEC’s comments thereto.  Except for the amended disclosure set forth below, this Form 10-K/A has not been updated to reflect events that occurred after April 14, 2011, the filing date of the Original Annual Report.  Accordingly, this Form 10-K/A should be read in conjunction with our filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Annual Report, including any amendments to those filings.  However, this Form 10-K/A includes Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2 new certifications by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as required by Rule 12b-15.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of December 31, 2010. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective at such time to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act were recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer also concluded that our disclosure controls, which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, was inappropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Additionally, based on management’s assessment, the Company determined that there were material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010.

Therefore, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2010 based on the material weaknesses described below:

• we lacked proper procedures in place to track and record expenses;
• we lacked competent financial management personnel with appropriate accounting knowledge and training prior to the engagement of our current Chief Financial Officer;
• we relied on an outside consultant to prepare our financial statements;
• lack of segregation of duties at the Company due to the principal executive officer dealing with general administrative and financial matters; and
• we have insufficient controls over our period-end financial close and reporting processes.

As a result of this material weakness, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2010. 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. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness; yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the company’s financial reporting.

Because of its inherent limitations, however, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

In order to mitigate the foregoing material weakness, we engaged a CFO who was previously a PCAOB auditor with significant experience in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP and an outside accounting consultant to assist us in the preparation of our financial statements to ensure that these financial statements are prepared in conformity to U.S. GAAP. believe that these engagements will lessen the possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will be prevented or detected on a timely basis, and we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of this action and make any changes that our management deems appropriate. We believe that the foregoing steps will remediate the significant deficiencies identified above, and we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these steps and make any changes that our management deems appropriate.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended December 31, 2010, there was no change in internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
 
ATTESTATION REPORT OF THE REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management's report in this annual report.
