Exchange  Commission,  although  management  of the  Company  believes  that the
disclosures in these  financial  statements are adequate to make the information
presented therein not misleading. It is suggested that these condensed financial
statements  and  notes  thereto  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  financial
statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 2000 and
1999 audited financial statements which are also contained in this filing.

The results of operations  for the nine months ended  September 30, 2001 are not
necessarily  indicative  of the results of  operations  to be  expected  for the
calendar year ending December 31, 2001.

(2)  Interim Period Cost of Goods Sold

Interim  period cost of goods sold is calculated  using the perpetual  inventory
record.  The  Company  reports  any  significant  adjustments  that  result from
reconciling  the  perpetual  inventory  record to periodic  and annual  physical
inventory observations.

(3)  Going Concern

The  accompanying  financial  statements  have bee prepared in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles,  which contemplate continuation of the
Company as going concern.  However,  the Company sustained losses during 2000 of
$501,893 and  $391,069  for the first 9 months of fiscal  2001.  In addition the
Company had working  capital  deficits of $1,360,500 as of December 31, 2000 and
$1,672,135 as of September 31, 2001. These factors raise substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial  statements
do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification
of recorded asset amounts,  or amounts and  classification  of liabilities  that
might be necessary  should the Company be unable to continue in  existence.  The
Company's  continuation  as a going  concern is  dependent  upon its  ability to
obtain  the  additional  financing  necessary  to  complete  development  of new
products  and  achieve  the level of sales that will  enable it to  sustain  its
operations.

The  Company is seeking to enter into a  strategic  acquisition  with a publicly
held company and  anticipates  more  financing  from equity  sources to fund its
operations.  No assurance  can be given that the Company will be  successful  in
these efforts
