We will require additional funds to fund our budgeted expenses over the next
twelve months. These funds may be raised through equity financing, debt
financing, or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity
ownership of our shares. There is still no assurance that we will be able to
maintain operations at a level sufficient for an investor to obtain a return on
his investment in our common stock. Further, we may continue to be unprofitable.
We need to raise additional funds in the immediate future in order to proceed
with our budgeted expenses.
