NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 AND 2003
1. PREPARATION OF INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements as of September 30,
2004 and for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, and the
notes thereto, are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, these
financial statements reflect all normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a
fair presentation of the results of the periods presented. The balance sheet
information as of December 31, 2003 has been derived from the Company's audited
balance sheet. The comparative information as of December 31, 2003 is available
from the audited financial statements.
The results of operations for the nine month - period ended September 30, 2004
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarter
or for the year ending December 31, 2004.
For purposes of these unaudited condensed financial statements, certain
information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted.
These unaudited statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements and notes as of December 31, 2003 included elsewhere in
this document.
2. SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. INVENTORIES
Inventories at September 30, 2004 and at December 31, 2003 comprise the
