PART IV — OTHER INFORMATION
| (1) | Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification |
| Steven P. Ensz | 918 | 481-1440 | ||
| (Name) | (Area Code) | (Telephone Number) |
| (2) | Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s). | |
| Yes o No þ | ||
As is described above in Part III, the Company has not filed its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006.
In addition, as previously disclosed in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, the Company filed that Report without obtaining the review of those financial statements as required by Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B. That Item requires that interim financial statements included in quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB must be reviewed by an independent public accountant using professional standards and procedures for conducting such reviews, as established by generally accepted auditing standards as may be modified or supplemented by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. Accordingly, the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 is deficient in that regard.
| (3) | Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? | |
| Yes o No þ | ||
| If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made. | ||
