ITEM 4.02

Non-Reliance On Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review

(a)    On November 10, 2010, the Board of Directors, based upon a recommendation from management, determined that the Company’s financial statements for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010 should no longer be relied upon and should be restated.  This determination was made based on management’s conclusion that interest expense on the Senior Notes for the above periods were understated as a result of non-accrual of the additional 5.85% default interest amounting to $786,482 and  $1,572,964 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and for the six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.   

We intend to file amendments to our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010 previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the amendment to our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, we expect to increase interest expense and our net loss by $786,482. In the amendment to our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we expect to increase interest expense and our net loss by $786,482 and $1,572,964, respectively. Both amended quarterly reports will also include similar increases in accrued interest payable, and accumulated deficit to account for the increased net loss. Following is a summary of the amounts previously reported and as restated for the above periods:
