Shemesh and Tobian disputed the Company's basis for rescinding the contract and because they were referred to the Company by Farhad Zaghi, the Company's purported rescission became an issue in the Company's ongoing litigation with Zaghi and his affiliates. In order to eliminate one of the issues of contention between the parties and facilitate further settlement negotiations with Zaghi, on March 9, 2007, the Company released the stop order on the Shemesh/Tobian Shares and allowed the shares to be traded. Because the Company previously had recorded a write-off against paid-in-capital associated with the Shemesh/Tobian Shares, upon lifting the stop order the Company should have re-expensed the Shemesh/Tobian Shares.
Expected Impact of the Restatement.
The Company will recognize an expense to investor relations of $1,012,175.25 as of March 9, 2007 and will restate its financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007 accordingly. As a result of this additional expense, the Company will realize an additional loss of $0.02 per share for the quarter ended March 31 (for a total loss per share of $0.04 for that period) and an additional loss of $0.02 per share for the six months ended June 30 (for a total loss per share of $0.08 for that period). The Company intends to amend its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the applicable periods prior to filing its third quarter 10-Q on or prior to November 19, 2007.
Additional Restatements Possible.

certain accounting and financial reporting practices in connection with the
Company's receipt of a deficiency letter from the American Stock Exchange.
That audit is not complete and
