Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Three and Six Months Ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 (Unaudited)
1. Consolidated Financial Statements
In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of (a) the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, (b) the financial position at December 31, 2005, and (c) cash flows for the six month periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, have been made.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes of the Company for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the entire year.
2. Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has sustained substantial operating losses in recent years. The Company has incurred an additional loss of ($51,000) for the six month period ended December 31, 2005, which increased the Company’s accumulated deficit to approximately ($9,420,500). The Company also has negative working capital of approximately ($264,200) as of December 31, 2005. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Although the Company continues to maintain costs and institute efforts to conserve cash, such efforts will not make them a viable business entity, and without significant additional revenues they may not be able to stay in business.

Three and Six Months Ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 (Unaudited)
2. Going Concern (continued)
The Company continues to explore the possibility of outsourcing some production and support tasks that are currently being done in-house in order to reduce such costs. However, until sufficient volume is obtained to support significant outsourcing, the Company is not in a position to outsource production in order to save costs.
3. Contingencies
Innova is currently plaintiff in a patent infringement lawsuit entitled Innova Pure Water, Inc., Plaintiff v. Safari Water Filtration Systems, Inc. d/b/a Safari Outdoor Products, Defendant; Case No. 99-1781-Civ-T-23F filed by the Company on August 4, 1999. The case was filed with the U.S. District Court, Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division. The Company has claimed patent infringement of U.S. Patent 5,609,759 on the part of the defendants. On December 16, 2003, the court ruled in favor of Safari. Innova filed an appeal with the United States Court of Appeals, case No. 04-1097, who, on August 11, 2004, reversed the lower courts decision. The case has been remanded back to the Circuit Court on September 1, 2004 to find on any remaining issues. Innova has filed for a summary judgment or the prompt setting of a trial date. It is not yet possible to evaluate the likelihood of a favorable or unfavorable outcome. On December 31, 2005, the Court issued an Order granting Innova's motion for a summary judgment. The Court adjudged that Innova's U.S. Patent 5,609,759 is valid and enforceable and that claims set forth in said patent were infringed upon by products made, used, sold or offered for sale by Safari. Safari was permanently enjoined from making, using, selling or offering for sale in the United States any product covered under the patent's claims as more fully set forth in the Order. Management of the Company believes the entry of this Order will have significance against other parties who may be infringing upon the Company's products and services.
Innova is currently a plaintiff and a cross defendant in a case captionedJ. Smith and M. Dancel v. Innova Pure Water, Inc.v. Sawyer Products, Inc. – Sawyer Products, Inc. v. Innova Pure Water, Inc. and J. Nohren and Rose R. Smith; Case No. 05-000538C1-07 in the Sixth Judicial Circuit Court of Pinellas County. This case is in its early stages and it is not possible at the present time, with any reasonable degree of certainty, to determine the likelihood of a favorable or unfavorable outcome or to quantify the potential exposure to Innova. No amounts relating to this case have been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Originally, Mr. Smith and Ms. Dancel sued Innova for accrued and unpaid vacation time. The total amount was less than $10,000. Innova counterclaimed against the former employees and their new employer, Sawyer Products, Inc., for violation of, and interference with the former employees' covenants not to compete with Innova. In the litigation, Sawyer Products filed a $600,000 claim against Innova and its certain officers alleging misrepresentation in connection with certain loans Sawyer made to the Company and the issuance of warrants to Sawyer. Sawyer has also sued Innova for breach of contract. Sawyer is seeking damages in excess of $600,000. Innova is seeking both back royalties or lost profits, as well as damages, including punitive damages.
On December 2, 2005 the litigation involving Smith, Dancel and Sawyer Products was settled. As part of the terms of agreement, all claims and causes of action among the parties would be extinguished.

3. Contingencies (continued)
Additionally, the Company agreed to pay Sawyer Products $100,000 within 120 days in exchange for the return of warrants issued to Sawyer Products and the canceling of a loan in the amount of $200,000 from Sawyer Products to the Company. Claims to certain tooling used in the manufacture of the Company’s products were relinquished by Sawyer Products and the Company agreed to release Mr. Smith and Ms. Dancel from their employment contracts. Finally, Sawyer Products were specifically prohibited from contacting certain customers of the Company.
4. Stock and Stock Options
Stock-based compensation to non-employees is valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. During the periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company did not grant any stock options.
5. Segment Reporting
The Company has three reportable segments for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005; manufacturing, software and consulting and only one reportable segment for the same periods ended December 31, 2004. Therefore, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 the Company has included segment reporting.

This Management's Discussion and Analysis and Results of Operation presents a review of the consolidated operating results and financial condition of the Company for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. This discussion and analysis is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries. This section should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company owns three subsidiaries that operated in the manufacturing segment, the software segment and the consulting segment during the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. To facilitate the readers understanding of the Company's financial performance, this discussion and analysis is presented on a segment basis.
MANUFACTURING SUBSIDIARY
The manufacturing subsidiary, Innova Pure Water, Inc. (“Innova”) generates its revenues from designing, developing and manufacturing unique consumer water filtration and treatment products.
SOFTWARE SUBSIDIARY
Numera Software Corporation (“Numera”) provides small to mid-sized businesses with full-featured, easy-to-use, real-time accounting software systems that meet or exceed the performance characteristics of mid to high-end competitors, at significantly lower cost.
CONSULTING SUBSIDIARY
Desert View Management Services, Inc. ("Desert View") uses professional management consulting and IT services on a business to business basis.
COMPARISON OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 AND 2004.
General
Net Sales
Net sales for the three-month period ended December 31, 2005 were $148,600, an increase of $142,700 or 2,419 percent from the $5,900 of net sales for the comparable period in 2004. This increase is mainly attributable to the acquisition of Numera and DesertView, and to increased sales for Innova.
During the three month period ended December 31, 2005 Nikken Global, accounted for 30% of total sales. The loss of this customer would have a material impact on the Company’s ability to continue in business.
While the Company has entered into several strategic alliances in previous years with companies such as Rubbermaid and U.S. Filter (Culligan), none of these alliances have resulted in the long-term trading partner relationships that would assist the Company in achieving its goal of becoming profitable. There are no assurances that any current strategic alliances will result in the Company becoming profitable.
The Company is currently in discussions with several companies regarding utilization of the proprietary Innova filtration systems. Although there are no assurances, the Company believes it will be able to increase its cash flow from operations in its current fiscal year.
Cost of Sales
For the three months ended December 31, 2005, the cost of sales decreased to $2,700 from the $12,400 of costs for the three months ended December 31, 2004. This decrease is mainly due to increased shipments from existing inventory during this period.
Gross profit margin was 98 percentage points for the three-months ended December 31, 2005, compared to a gross profit margin percentage of (110) percent for the three-months ended December 31, 2004. This increase is principally attributable to sales of products and services with a higher profit margin during the three months ended December 31, 2005 as compared to the same period ended December 31, 2004.
Operating Expense
Operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2005 were $107,100 as compared to $130,200 for the similar period last year. The 18 percent decrease in operating expenses is principally attributable to the consolidation of fixed costs associated with the acquisitions at year end.
Other Income
For the three months ended December 31, 2005, net interest (income) expense amounted to ($2,400) as compared to $3,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004. This decrease is due to less interest having been incurred due to the financing structure.
Other expense (income) for the three months ended December 31, 2005 of $31,600 as compared to $16,700 for the three months ended December 31, 2004, was due to the realization of revenue from exclusivity fees paid to the Company by Camelbak Products and Sawyer Products as a result of agreements reached between the parties.
Income Taxes
Due to the Company’s history of operating losses, management has established a valuation allowance in the full amount of the deferred tax assets arising from these losses because management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will not generate sufficient taxable income within the appropriate period to offset these operating loss carry forwards.
Net (Income) Loss
Net (income) loss for the three months ended December 31, 2005 amounted to ($9,600) as compared to net loss of $123,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004. This increase in the net income is principally attributable to acquisition of Numera and DesertView, without increasing the overhead expenses for the Company.
10
Loss Per Share
For the three months ended December 31, 2005, basic loss per share amounted to $(.00). For the comparable period in 2004, basic loss per share amounted to $(.01).
Manufacturing Subsidiary
Net Sales
Net sales for the three-month period ended December 31, 2005 were $76,000, an increase of 1,188% percent from the $5,900 of net sales for the comparable period in 2004. This increase is attributable to additional generation of product sales.
Cost of Sales
For the three months ended December 31, 2005, the cost of sales increased to ($700) from the $12,400 of costs for the three months ended December 31, 2004. This decrease is mainly due to the satisfaction of sales from the Company’s existing inventory.
Gross profit margin was 101 percentage points for the three-months ended December 31, 2005, compared to a gross profit margin percentage of (110) percent for the three-months ended December 31, 2004. This increase is principally attributable to sales of products with a higher contribution margin than in the prior quarter.
Operating Expense
Operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2005 were $64,800 as compared to $130,200 for the similar period last year. The 50 percent decrease in operating expenses is principally attributable to the reduction in salaries and other officer expenses.
Other Income
For the three months ended December 31, 2005, net interest expense amounted to $0 as compared to net interest expense of $3,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004. This decrease is due to the restructuring of financing.
Software Subsidiary
Net Sales
The software subsidiary, Numera, was acquired during the year ended June 30, 2005 and provided net sales of $6,700 for the three-month period ended December 31, 2005.
Cost of Sales
For the three months ended December 31, 2005, the cost of sales was $3,300.
Gross profit from Numera was $3,400 for the three months ended December 31, 2005 providing a gross profit margin of 49%.
Operating Expense
During the period ended December 31, 2005, all operating expenses of Numera were included in Cost of Sales. Numera’s management was compensated on a commission basis and it is expected that future reporting periods will reflect payroll and other operating expenses.

COMPARISON OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 AND 2004.
General
Net Sales
Net sales for the six month period ended December 31, 2005 were $288,500, an increase of $204,800 or 245 percent from the $83,700 of net sales for the comparable period in 2004. This increase is mainly attributable to the acquisition of Numera and DesertView, and to increased sales for Innova.
During the six month period ended December 31, 2005 Nikken Global, accounted for 38% of total sales. The loss of this customer would have a material impact on the Company’s ability to continue in business.
While the Company has entered into several strategic alliances in previous years with companies such as Rubbermaid and U.S. Filter (Culligan), none of these alliances have resulted in the long-term trading partner relationships that would assist the Company in achieving its goal of becoming profitable. There are no assurances that any current strategic alliances will result in the Company becoming profitable.
The Company is currently in discussions with several companies regarding utilization of the proprietary Innova filtration systems. Although there are no assurances, the Company believes it will be able to increase its cash flow from operations in its current fiscal year.
Cost of Sales
For the six months ended December 31, 2005, the cost of sales increased to $70,300, an increase of $16,100 from the six months ended December 31, 2004. This increase is mainly due to the increase in sales.
Gross profit margin was 76 percentage points for the six months ended December 31, 2005, compared to a gross profit margin percentage of 35 percent for the six months ended December 31, 2004. This increase is principally attributable to sales of products and services with a higher profit margin during the six months ended December 31, 2005 as compared to the same period ended December 31, 2004.
Operating Expense
Operating expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2005 were $268,600 as compared to $253,800 for the similar period last year. The 6 percent increase in operating expenses is principally attributable to the increased legal fees with respect to the acquisition of DesertView and Numera and other litigation.
Other Income
For the six months ended December 31, 2005, net interest expense amounted to $600 as compared to $9,500 for the six months ended December 31, 2004. This decrease is due to the restructuring of financing as a result of the acquisitions of DesertView and Numer.
Other income for the six months ended December 31, 2005 of $0 as compared to $37,900 for the six months ended December 31, 2004, was due to the realization of revenue from exclusivity fees paid to the Company by Camelbak Products and Sawyer Products as a result of agreements reached between the parties.
Income Taxes
Due to the Company’s history of operating losses, management has established a valuation allowance in the full amount of the deferred tax assets arising from these losses because management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will not generate sufficient taxable income within the appropriate period to offset these operating loss carry forwards.
Net Loss
Net loss for the six months ended December 31, 2005 amounted to $51,000 as compared to $195,500 for the six months ended December 31, 2004. This decrease in the net loss is principally attributable to acquisition of Numera and DesertView, without increasing the overhead expenses for the Company.
Loss Per Share
For the six months ended December 31, 2005, basic loss per share amounted to $(.00). For the comparable period in 2004, basic loss per share amounted to $(.02).
Manufacturing Subsidiary
Net Sales
Net sales for the six month period ended December 31, 2005 were $175,600, an increase of 110% percent from the $83,700 of net sales for the comparable period in 2004. This increase is attributable to the generation of additional sales.
Cost of Sales
For the six months ended December 31, 2005, the cost of sales decreased to $54,100 from the $54,200 of costs for the six months ended December 31, 2004.
Gross profit margin was 69 percentage points for the six months ended December 31, 2005, compared to a gross profit margin percentage of 35 percent for the six months ended December 31, 2004. This increase is principally attributable to accelerated shipping from inventory and a reduction in staffing and support costs in the Florida office/warehouse.
Operating Expense
Operating expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2005 were $191,400 as compared to $253,800 for the similar period last year. The 25 percent decrease in operating expenses is principally attributable to the reduction in staffing and support costs of the office and warehouse in Florida to be more comparable to sales.
Other Income
For the six months ended December 31, 2005, net interest expense amounted to ($3,000) as compared to net interest expense of $9,500 for the six months ended December 31, 2004. This decrease is due to restructuring of financing.
Software Subsidiary
Net Sales
The software subsidiary, Numera, was acquired during the year ended June 30, 2005 and provided net sales of $32,200 for the six month period ended December 31, 2005.
Cost of Sales
For the six months ended December 31, 2005, the cost of sales was $16,100.

Cost of Sales
For the six months ended December 31, 2005 the cost of sales was $100.
Gross profit from DesertView was $80,500 for the six months ended December 31, 2005 providing a gross profit margin of 100%.
Operating Expense
DesertView had $77,200 of operating expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2005.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operating Activities
For the six months ended December 31, 2005, net cash used by operating activities amounted to $72,100, as compared to the $80,100 used by operating activities for the comparable period in 2004. This change is a combination of the net effect of the increase in accounts and other receivables of $122,000, the decrease in inventory of $65,000 and the increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $25,600, along with the reduction in the overall net loss.
Investment Activities
For the six months ended December 31, 2005, net cash used by investing activities amounted to $6,400, as compared to the $67,000 provided by investing activities during the six months ended December 31, 2004. The decrease in cash provided by investing activities is due to the decrease of restricted cash in the prior period, without a similar change in the current period.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2005 was approximately $75,700, as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of approximately $16,400 for the comparable period in 2004. The increase in cash provided from investing activities is due primarily to the increase in advances from shareholders.
As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we incurred a net loss of $51,000 during the six months ended December 31, 2005 and as of that date; our working capital deficit was $264,200. Therefore, our ability to continue as a going concern is uncertain. We expect to incur significant losses in the future. As a result, we will need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability and may never achieve profitability.
Although we continue to maintain our efforts to conserve cash, such efforts will not make us a viable business entity, and without significant additional revenues we may not be able to stay in business. Our two executive officers have agreed to defer a substantial portion of their compensation and payments.
We continue to explore the possibility of outsourcing some of our production and support tasks that are currently being done in-house in order to reduce such costs. However, until we have sufficient volume to support significant outsourcing, we are not in a position to outsource production to save costs.
We have not been successful in attracting outside capital. Although we continue to pursue various opportunities, we cannot assure you that we would be able to raise any outside capital or that such funds will be available to us on favorable terms. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of our equity or debt securities, such securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the rights of our common stock and our stockholders may experience substantial dilution.
We are in continuous discussions with new prospective strategic alliance partners. However, there is no assurance we will enter into any new alliances in fiscal 2006. We do not anticipate significant business from Sawyer in the future due to the pending litigation matter. Nikken has remained our most significant customer.
Our principal capital and liquidity needs have historically related to the acquisition, procurement and manufacturing of component parts relating to our water filtration products, sales and marketing activities, the development of manufacturing infrastructure, litigation costs associated with patent protection, and compensation to our executive officers. Because we have not had sufficient capital resources, we substantially scaled back research and development efforts, marketing and improvement of our manufacturing infrastructure. Unfortunately, we do not believe that we are in a position to substantially decrease our capital and liquidity requirements through additional cost cutting efforts.
Our acquisition of Numera and DesertView will substantially change our financing activities and needs during fiscal 2006. We believe that our acquisition of DesertView and Numera will diversify our business base and provide us the opportunity to generate additional revenues. Management also believes that the acquisition of DesertView and Numera will increase our chances of raising outside capital to meet our future capital requirements. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to attract such capital or if we do attract such capital that it will be on favorable terms.
INFLATION
We believe that the impact of inflation and changing prices on our operations since the commencement of our operations has been negligible.
SEASONALITY
Innova does not deem its revenues to be seasonal.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following discussion and analysis is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles general accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses, and assets and liabilities during the periods reported. Estimates are used when accounting for certain items such as revenues, allowances for returns, doubtful accounts, employee compensation programs, depreciation and amortization periods, taxes, inventory values, insurance programs, goodwill, other intangible assets and long-lived assets. We base our estimates on historical experience, where applicable and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe that the following critical policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We base our estimates on the aging of our accounts receivable balances and our historical write-off experience, net of recoveries. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, additional allowances may be required.
We value our inventories at the lower of cost or market. We write down inventory balances for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.
We amortize patent application costs, which includes litigation defense costs over a five (5) year period. We have changed the accounting treatment for a no interest loan and related options to reflect the value of options awarded in conjunction with a note payable as interest expense.
In accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, all costs incurred to establish the technological feasibility are research and development costs. Software development costs incurred after technological feasibility and prior to the software being available for sale are capitalized. On June 27, 2005, the Company acquired capitalized software development costs through its acquisition of Numera Software Corporation. The software development costs will be amortized over its estimated useful life of 5 years.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
(a)Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of its disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on their evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective so as to timely identify, correct and disclose information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports due to the Company’s limited internal resources and lack of ability to ha ve multiple levels of transaction review. Through the use of external consultants and the review process, management believes that the financial statements and other information presented herewith are materially correct.
(b)Changes in internal controls. There were no significant changes in our internal controls or to our knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect our disclosure controls and procedures subsequent to the evaluation date.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Innova is currently plaintiff in a patent infringement lawsuit entitled Innova Pure Water, Inc., Plaintiff v. Safari Water Filtration Systems, Inc. d/b/a Safari Outdoor Products, Defendant; Case No. 99-1781-Civ-T-23F filed by the Company on August 4, 1999. The case was filed with the U.S. District Court, Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division. The Company has claimed patent infringement of U.S. Patent 5,609,759 on the part of the defendants. On December 16, 2003, the court ruled in favor of Safari. Innova filed an appeal with the United States Court of Appeals, case No. 04-1097, who, on August 11, 2004, reversed the lower courts decision. The case has been remanded back to the Circuit Court on September 1, 2004 to find on any remaining issues. Innova has filed for a summary judgment or the prompt setting of a trial date. It is not yet possible to evaluate the likelihood of a favorable or unfavorable outcome. On September 30, 2005, the Court issued an Order granting Innova's motion for a summary judgment. The Court adjudged that Innova's U.S. Patent 5,609,759 is valid and enforceable and that claims set forth in said patent were infringed upon by products made, used, sold or offered for sale by Safari. Safari was permanently enjoined from making, using, selling or offering for sale in the United States any product covered under the patent's claims as more fully set forth in the Order. Management of the Company believes the entry of this Order will have significance against other parties who may be infringing upon the Company's products and services.
Innova is currently a plaintiff and a cross defendant in a case captionedJ. Smith and M. Dancel v. Innova Pure Water, Inc.v. Sawyer Products, Inc. – Sawyer Products, Inc. v. Innova Pure Water, Inc. and J. Nohren and Rose R. Smith; Case No. 05-000538C1-07 in the Sixth Judicial Circuit Court of Pinellas County. This case is in its early stages and it is not possible at the present time, with any reasonable degree of certainty, to determine the likelihood of a favorable or unfavorable outcome or to quantify the potential exposure to Innova. No amounts relating to this case have been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Originally, Mr. Smith and Ms. Dancel sued Innova for accrued and unpaid vacation time. The total amount was less than $10,000. Innova counterclaimed against the former employees and their new employer, Sawyer Products, Inc., for violation of, and interference with the former employees' covenants not to compete with Innova. In the litigation, Sawyer Products filed a $600,000 claim against Innova and its certain officers alleging misrepresentation in connection with certain loans Sawyer made to the Company and the issuance of warrants to Sawyer. Sawyer has also sued Innova for breach of contract. Sawyer is seeking damages in excess of $600,000. Innova is seeking both back royalties or lost profits, as well as damages, including punitive damages.
On December 2, 2005 the litigation involving Smith, Dancel and Sawyer Products was settled. As part of the terms of agreement, all claims and causes of action among the parties would be extinguished.
Additionally, the Company agreed to pay Sawyer Products $100,000 within 120 days in exchange for the return of warrants issued to Sawyer Products and the canceling of a loan in the amount of $200,000 from Sawyer Products to the Company. Claims to certain tooling used in the manufacture of the Company’s products were relinquished by Sawyer Products and the Company agreed to release Mr. Smith and Ms. Dancel from their employment contracts. Finally, Sawyer Products were specifically prohibited from contacting certain customers of the Company.
Neither DesertView nor Numera are currently involved in any litigation and neither of them is aware of any pending or threatened litigation.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
