Item 4.02         Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review

On August 19, 2010, the Company’s acting Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2010, included in the Company’s Form 10-Q that was filed on May 14, 2010 (the “Report”), cannot be relied on because the income statement included $2,190,014 of non-cash, Black Scholes warrant and fair value expense related to financings that should be reclassified to the balance sheet as additional paid-in capital, with an offset by the same amount in the accumulated deficit.  

The effect of this reclassification is to reduce the net loss from $3,926,257 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $1,736,243 for the same period.  The Company discussed the matter which is the subject of this filing with its independent accountant.

The Company intends to file an amendment to the Report which addresses this non-reliance and corrects the financial statements.
