1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Dairy Fresh Farms Inc. (“Dairy Fresh” or the “Company”) and its subsidiaries have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the latest annual report on Form 10-KSB. These statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
2 – COMPANY BACKGROUND AND LIQUIDITY
COMPANY BACKGROUND
The Company was incorporated under the name of Northwest Horizon Corporation in the State of Nevada, United States of America on February 5, 2003. The name was changed to Dairy Fresh Farms Inc. on August 11, 2005.
The Company was in the development stage until January 1, 2005. The Company originally intended to establish itself as a transportation broker specializing in trucking as the efficient mode of transporting both raw materials and finished products to their destination. On December 17, 2004 the Board of Directors passed a resolution indicating that the Company would be unable to raise the necessary funds to proceed with this original plan.
On March 3, 2005, the company merged via a reverse takeover with Dairy Fresh Technologies Ltd. Dairy Fresh Technologies Ltd. was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act on May 14, 2002 to develop and exploit a unique patented dairy process in Canada. This patent, "Dairy Fresh Farms ™" produces monounsaturated-enhanced dairy products. Dairy Fresh Technologies Ltd. was also in the development stage until January 1, 2005.

LIQUIDITY
The Company has incurred a net loss of $274,602 and $357,095 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. In addition, the Company generated negative cash flows from operations of $159,642 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and has generated negative cash flows from operations since inception.
The audit states that the net loss incurred during the year ended December 31, 2007, the accumulated deficit as of that date and the other factors described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007 raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The auditors’ report on the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 contained a similar statement. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Management plans to address these issues by continuing to seek new financing and continuing to control expenses. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is subject to management’s ability to successfully implement the above plans. Failure to implement these plans could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s position and/or results of operation and may necessitate a reduction in operating activities. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments that may be required if the assets are not realized and the liabilities settled in the normal course of operations.
In the longer term, the Company has to generate the levels of revenue which would result in cash sufficiency and it may need to continue to raise capital by selling additional equity or by obtaining credit facilities. No assurance can be given that any such financing will be available or that, if available, it can be obtained on terms favourable to the company.

7 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities
In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities.” The FSP addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method. The FSP affects entities that accrue dividends on share-based payment awards during the awards’ service period when the dividends do not need to be returned if the employees forfeit the award. This FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact of FSP EITF 03-6-1 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an entity's Own Stock
In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 07-5, "Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity's Own Stock" (EITF 07-5). EITF 07-5 provides that an entity should use a two step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument's contingent exercise and settlement provisions. It also clarifies on the impact of foreign currency denominated strike prices and market-based employee stock option valuation instruments on the evaluation. EITF 07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact of EITF 07-5 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion ( Including Partial Cash Settlement)
In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement).” The FSP clarifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (including partial cash settlement) upon conversion. The FSP requires issuers to account separately for the liability and equity components of certain convertible debt instruments in a manner that reflects the issuer's nonconvertible debt (unsecured debt) borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized. The FSP requires bifurcation of a component of the debt, classification of that component in equity and the accretion of the resulting discount on the debt to be recognized as part of interest expense in our consolidated statement of operations. The FSP requires retrospective application to the terms of instruments as they existed for all periods presented. The FSP is effective for us as of January 1, 2009 and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of FSP APB 14-1 upon its consolidated financial statements.

The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" (FAS No.162). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles". The implementation of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets
In April 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position on Financial Accounting Standard (“FSP FAS”) No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”, which amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of intangible assets under SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the period of the expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) “Business Combinations” and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of FSP FAS No. 142-3 on its consolidated financial statements.
Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of SFAS No. 133”, (SFAS 161). This statement requires that objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 161 on January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of SFAS No. 161 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Delay in Effective Date
In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157”. This FSP delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The impact of adoption was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Business Combinations
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R) “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141(R)). This Statement replaces the original SFAS No. 141. This Statement retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS No. 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS No. 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. The objective of SFAS No. 141(R) is to improve the relevance, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. To accomplish that, SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer:
| a. | Recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. |
| b. | Recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase. |
| c. | Determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. |
This Statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and may not be applied before that date. The Company is unable at this time to determine the effect that its adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51” (SFAS No. 160). This Statement amends the original Accounting Review Board (ARB) No. 51 “Consolidated Financial Statements” to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This Statement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and may not be applied before that date. The Company is unable at this time to determine the effect that its adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of SFAS No. 115” (SFAS No. 159), which becomes effective for the Company on February 1, 2008, permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and report unrealized gains and losses in earnings. Such accounting is optional and is generally to be applied instrument by instrument. The Company does not anticipate its election of this fair-value option will have a material effect on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
Fair Value Measurements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 addresses the requests from investors for expanded disclosure about the extent to which companies’ measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS No. 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value, and does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and has been adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. The Company is unable at this time to determine the effect that its adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

Company’s overview
The Company realizes that it has to look at different opportunities in order to expand on it’s current business plan and to provide for the long term success of the Company. After a considerable and lengthy overview of opportunities, management determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to enter into an agreement to merge an operating entity into the Company.
Great Bear Explorations Inc.
On October 23, 2007, we entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Great Bear Explorations Inc., an Alberta, Canada corporation (“GBE”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, GBE merged with and into our company (the “Merger”).
Also as a result of the Merger all of the outstanding shares of GBE common stock were converted into the right to receive, on a pro rata basis, thirty million (30,000,000) shares of our common stock as set forth in the Merger Agreement.
The original business model surrounding the Dairy Fresh Farms Intellectual Property has evolved with the merger with Great Bear Exploration. At the present time we have two distinct business groups within the company. As we move forward, we intend to see the role of the Dairy Business reduced in our overall plans with the option of selling off this section of the business using a third party arms length value assessor for the eventual sale. This will leave us with a business plan focused on the Oil and Gas business. For instance, we anticipate that on a moving forward basis our first plan of action within the old Dairy Fresh Business is to keep the value of the past work at its highest possible value, this would include all of the licensing agreements, trademarks, research and manufacturing contacts as well as suppliers of ingredients. On a moving forward basis we would look at several options. The first would be to sell off what we have achieved to date as a turn key opportunity. The second would be to just sell off the licensing to a manufacturer who wanted to expand their product line into the health food category. The number of employees in this area is one. The mandate that management has been working under is to keep the optimum value of the Dairy Fresh business intact while looking or accepting offers. To date we have not received any offers but have several interested parties doing due diligence.
On October 23, 2007, Dairy Fresh Farms, Inc., an Nevada company (the “Company”), entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Great Bear Explorations Inc., an Alberta, Canada corporation (“GBE”). Dairy Fresh Farms Inc. is the surviving entity. The Board of Directors has voted to change the operating name from Dairy Fresh Farms Inc. to Great Bear Oil and Gas, Inc. Management is proceeding with corporate and regulatory requirements to finalize this name change. For the remainder of this document we will refer to the new entity as Dairy Fresh/Great Bear)
Dairy Fresh/Great Bear is a Nevada Corporation with a Canadian oil and gas exploration business. This corporation has recently acquired a 35% interest in Peace East Energy Corp, which has joint venture and farm out agreements with the Tall Cree First Nation. The agreements provide for Peace East Energy Corp to participate in oil and gas activities on the Tall Cree Reserve lands (approximately 8,200 ha.) and to post and bid on other lands that have been extensively analyzed by the Peace East Energy Corp over the last 18 months. The “Peace East” area is located in North Central Alberta.
An extensive Business Plan is being developed for the Dairy Fresh/Great Bear side of the business.
The principals of Dairy Fresh/Great Bear have a historical relationship with several of the First Nations in British Columbia and Alberta based on past business activities in the forestry, mining and energy sectors during the past twenty years.
We share a key objective to create a sustainable economy for all concerned.
Opening these oil and gas properties to the world markets ensures that new funds will flow through to each individual band member ensuring long-term economic benefits.
Included in this plan is the task of providing comprehensive training for the individual Band Members in a wide range of career fields including but not limited to: construction estimating, pipeline construction, well site maintenance, environmental assessment and environmental reclamation as well as archeological site impact assessment.
Together we will add value to Albert’s skilled labor pool and enhance Northern Alberta’s regional economy.
Critical accounting policies and estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements requires application of management’s subjective judgments, often requiring the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in the subsequent periods. Our actual results may differ substantially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006, we believe that the following accounting policies require the application of significant judgments and estimates.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Fluctuations in operating results
Our results of operations have fluctuated significantly from period to period and are likely to continue to do so in the future. We anticipate that our annual results of operations will be impacted for the foreseeable future by several factors including the progress and timing of financing related to the ongoing development of our oil and gas properties.
Dairy Fresh/Great Bear is a development stage Nevada Company with Canadian interests. The Company has acquired a 35% interest in Peace East Energy Corp, whose assets consists of joint venture and farm out agreements with the Tall Cree First Nation in North Central Alberta, Canada. These agreements provide for Peace East Energy Corp., to participate in oil and gas activities on certain property (approximately 8,200 ha.) and to post and bid on other properties that have been extensively analyzed by Peace East Energy Corp over the past 18 months. In addition, the owners of Peace East Energy Corp. have given Dairy Fresh/Great Bear first right of refusal to acquire the remaining 65% of the Peace East Energy Corp.
Our partners the Tall Cree First nations are based and live on 5 widely spaced reserves which are like islands within a larger Tall Cree First Nations Traditional Land-use Area of approximately 6,000,000 acres. Our mandate at Dairy Fresh/Great Bear is to expand our land lease base to acquire up to 531 sections (339,840 acres or 531 square miles), of both on and off reserve property.
Management is looking to self fund the project in the short term with the eventual goal of utilizing a convertible debenture loan vehicle to raise additional capital for the Company. This will be specifically targeted on the four key areas of the Oil and Gas Business:
(i.) The first area is the acquisition of the remaining 65% of the Peace East Energy Corp., to ensure 100% ownership of the project moving forward, although not a critical need management believes it is desirable. If we cannot close the remaining 65% management would move to have a value associated with the remaining 65% so that this ownership issue does not come back once we go into full production with a huge cost overhang;
(ii.) The second funding requirement is to Post and pay for land acquisition. Our current Joint Venture agreements allow us to acquire up to 531 square miles (sections) of territory in our mandate. Without this property we would have no land to explore and drill on. In our agreements with the Tall Cree First Nation partners of North Central Alberta the ability to acquire up to 5% of the territory of Peace East lands which are the traditional hunting and gathering lands of the Tall Cree. The Company has a time limit of 3 years to acquire all of the property; however, management may if the price is advantageous move to purchase the entire package in years one and two. Geological promising locations have been identified by the Company to acquire over the past 18 months of analysis;
(iii.) The third area is again part of our mandate with the Tall Cree and that is to ensure we comply with and do preliminary environmental assessment work on potential seismic testing routes and shoot the first 15km of seismic in year one. It is important to understand that this is just the preliminary work and failure to meet these minimum targets will mean the loss of the agreement with the Tall Cree energy companies. Once through the first year we have additional requirements to purchase additional leases (200 square miles) and do more seismic (100km) and to start to drill wells at a pace of 21 per year;
(iv.) Over the next twelve months the operations budget, (office lease, travel, employees, telephone, insurance, audit/legal, compliance work etc.), is estimated at $950,000 USD. This does not include the costs associated with land acquisition, environmental work, seismic or test drilling.
In summary, we believe that Dairy Fresh/Great Bear represents a significant opportunity for our shareholders. The Peace East property is located in close proximity at its southern end to major pipelines and infrastructure including paved road, air fields and supplies.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company did not engage in any off-balance sheet arrangements during the quarter.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2008, we have an accumulated deficit of $6,394,651 and we expect to incur additional losses in the short term at least until such time, if ever, that our products are manufactured and marketed profitably. We have financed our operations since inception primarily through the private placements of equity and debt securities.
At June 30, 2008, we have $3,883 in cash.
Assuming our funding is raised, we intend to focus our efforts over the next twelve months on creating and entering into marketing and sales agreements in the Canadian marketplace. In such event, if we are unable to raise additional funds on a timely basis or at all, any progress with respect to our products and, therefore, our potential revenues, would be adversely affected.
In the event that our plans change, our assumptions change or prove inaccurate, or if our existing cash resources, together with other funding resources including anticipated sales of our products, otherwise prove to be insufficient to fund our operations, we could be required to seek additional financing. We have no current arrangements with respect to sources of additional financing.
The auditors’ report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2007 states that the net loss incurred during the year ended December 31, 2007, the accumulated deficit as of that date, and the other factors described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007, as well as the accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2008, and the other factors described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
On October 23, 2007, we entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Great Bear Explorations Inc., an Alberta, Canada corporation (“GBE”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, GBE merged with and into our company (the “Merger”).
Also as a result of the Merger all of the outstanding shares of GBE common stock were converted into the right to receive, on a pro rata basis, thirty million (30,000,000) shares of our common stock as set forth in the Merger Agreement.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Furthermore, smaller reporting companies face additional limitations. Smaller reporting companies employ fewer individuals and find it difficult to properly segregate duties. Often, one or two individuals control every aspect of the Company’s operation and are in a position to override any system of internal control. Additionally, smaller reporting companies tend to utilize general accounting software packages that lack a rigorous set of software controls.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. Based on this evaluation, our management, with the participation of the President, concluded that, as of June 30, 2008, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
We are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries' officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.
We have updated the risk factors previously disclosed in Annual Report on Form 10–KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15, 2008 (the “Fiscal 2007 10–KSB”). We believe there are no changes that constitute material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Fiscal 2007 10–KSB except as disclosed below.
Our Common Stock Is Subject To Penny Stock Regulation
Our shares are subject to the provisions of Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), commonly referred to as the "penny stock" rule. Section 15(g) sets forth certain requirements for transactions in penny stocks and Rule 15g-9(d)(1) incorporates the definition of penny stock as that used in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act. The Commission generally defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Rule 3a51-1 provides that any equity security is considered to be penny stock unless that security is: registered and traded on a national securities exchange meeting specified criteria set by the Commission; authorized for quotation on the NASDAQ Stock Market; issued by a registered investment company; excluded from the definition on the basis of price (at least $5.00 per share) or the registrant's net tangible assets; or exempted from the definition by the Commission. Since our shares are deemed to be "penny stock", trading in the shares will be subject to additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell penny stock to persons other than established customers and accredited investors.
The Liquidity Of Our Common Stock Is Seriously Limited And There Is A Limited Market For Our Common Stock
Our stock is currently being traded on the NASDAQ Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, and the liquidity of our common stock is limited. The Bulletin Board is a limited market and subject to substantial restrictions and limitations in comparison to the NASDAQ system. Any broker/dealer that makes a market in our stock or other person that buys or sells our stock could have a significant influence over its price at any given time.
