To transact such other business that may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the meeting. The proxy statement, which follows this notice, fully describes these items. We have not received notice of other matters that may be properly presented at the Annual Meeting. Only shareholders of record at the close of business on October 21, 2005 will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting and any postponements or adjournments of the meeting.

If you would like to view the stockholder list, please call our Investor Relations department at 973-574-8559 to schedule an appointment. Your vote is important. Each share of our stock that you own represents one vote. If you do not vote your shares, you will not have a say in the important issues to be voted on at the Annual Meeting. Directors will be elected by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our common stock present, or represented, at the Annual Meeting, as long as a quorum is present; and to pass the other proposal included in this year's proxy statement will require a majority of votes present or represented at the Annual Meeting. Many of our shareholders do not vote, so the shareholders who do vote influence the outcome of the election in greater proportion than their percentage ownership of the company.

Proposal 1: The election of seven directors for terms expiring in 2006; and Proposal 2: The ratification of the selection by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Demetrius & Company, L.L.C. as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006. We are not aware of any other matters that will be voted on. If a matter does properly come before the Annual Meeting, the persons named as the proxy in the accompanying form of proxy will vote the proxy at their discretion. What are the board's voting recommendations? Our board of directors recommends a vote: o FOR each of the seven nominated directors; and o FOR the ratification of the selection of Demetrius & Company, L.L.C. as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006. What is the vote required for each proposal? Proposal 1: The election of the seven nominated directors requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our common stock present, or represented, at the Annual Meeting. Proposal 2: The ratification of the selection of Demetrius & Company, L.L.C. as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006 requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our common stock present, or represented, at the Annual Meeting. Who can vote? The record holders of our common stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or Series A Preferred Stock, on the close of business as of October 21, 2005, the record date, are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting or any adjournments thereof. Each outstanding share of common stock is entitled to one vote at the meeting on each matter to be voted upon at the meeting and each outstanding 2 share of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to 1.14 votes at the meeting on each matter to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting. The holders of common stock and the Series A Preferred Stock vote together as a single class. As of the record date, there were 8,172,822 shares of common stock outstanding and shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding entitling the holders to vote the equivalent of 370,500 shares of common stock. As of the record date, we had approximately 200 shareholders of record. A list of shareholders entitled to vote will be available for inspection by any record shareholder at our corporate headquarters at 790 Bloomfield Ave, Bldg. C-1, Clifton, New Jersey during the ten days prior to and at our Annual Meeting. What constitutes a quorum? In order to conduct our Annual Meeting, a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote must be represented in person or by proxy. This is known as a "quorum." Abstentions and shares held in "street name" by brokers or nominees who indicate on their proxies that they do not have discretionary authority to vote such shares as to a particular matter, referred to as broker non-votes, will count toward establishing a quorum. How do I vote? There are two ways to vote: o By completing and mailing the enclosed proxy card; or o By written ballot at our Annual Meeting. If you are a beneficial owner and your broker holds your shares in its name, the broker is permitted to vote your shares on each of the proposals even if the broker does not receive voting instructions from you. If your shares are held in the name of a broker, bank or other holder of record, you are invited to attend our Annual Meeting, but may not vote at our Annual Meeting unless you have first obtained a proxy, executed in the shareholders' favor, from the holder of record. What does it mean if I get more than one proxy? It means your shares are held in more than one account. Please vote all proxies to ensure all your shares are counted. Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy? You can change your vote or revoke your proxy at any time prior to the closing of the polls, by: o Returning a later-dated proxy card; o Voting in person at our Annual Meeting; or o Notifying our Secretary by written revocation letter. Our Secretary is Natalie Barchenko. Any revocation of your proxy should be filed with her at our corporate headquarters at 790 Bloomfield Ave, Bldg. C-1, Clifton, New Jersey. 3 Attendance at our Annual Meeting will not in itself constitute revocation of a proxy. All shares entitled to vote and represented by properly completed proxies timely received and not revoked will be voted as you direct. If no direction is given, the proxies will be voted as our board recommends. Who conducts the proxy solicitation? Our board of directors is soliciting these proxies. We will bear the cost of the solicitation of proxies. Our regular employees may solicit proxies by mail, by telephone, personally or by other communications, without compensation apart from their normal salaries. What if I do not specify how my shares are to be voted? If you submit a proxy but do not indicate any voting instructions, then your shares will be voted in accordance with the Board's recommendations. Broker/dealers, who hold their customers' shares in street name, may, under the applicable rules of the exchanges and other self-regulatory organizations of which such broker/dealers are members, sign and submit proxies for such shares and may vote such shares on routine matters, which, under such rules, typically include the election of directors, but broker/dealers may not vote such shares on other matters without specific instructions from the customer who owns such shares. Who will count the votes? Our board of directors will appoint one or more persons to serve as the inspector(s) of elections to tabulate the votes cast by proxy or in person at the Annual Meeting. The inspector(s) of elections will also determine whether or not a quorum is present. Do I have any appraisal rights in connection with any matter to be acted upon? No. Our shareholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with any matter to be acted upon. Is cumulative voting allowed in the election of directors? No. Each share is entitled to one vote in the election of directors as on every other matter. Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting? The Chairman will announce the results at the Annual Meeting. In addition, we will publish them in our quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 that we will file with the SEC by February 14, 2006. Who can help answer my questions? If you have any questions about the Annual Meeting or the proposals to be voted on at the Annual Meeting, or if you need additional copies of this proxy statement or copies of any of our public filings referred to in this proxy statement, you should contact our Secretary, Natalie Barchenko, at (973) 574-8559.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS In March 2004, we issued 735,294 shares of common stock to Natalie Barchenko, the Treasurer and a director of the Company and the wife of Arthur Barchenko, the Company's president and a director, upon the conversion of loans made by Ms. Barchenko to the Company in the aggregate amount of $250,000. The offering price of the shares was based upon a then outstanding offer by a third party to purchase shares of common stock at such price. Until the Company achieved profitability, we relied on loans from officers, directors, shareholders and their affiliates to assist in the funding of our operations. At June 30, 2005 and 2004, related party debt consisted of $500,697 and $432,545, respectively. The loans are repayable with interest at rates varying from no interest through 12% interest per annum. All interest for the fiscal year 2004 and 2003 has been paid. The Company is restricted from repaying the principal amount of the loans except as permitted under the Purchase Agreement dated June 30, 2004 by which we sold the shares of Series B 14 Preferred Stock which provides that (i) repayment shall be later than December 31, 2005, (ii) for the six month period ended June 30, 2005 (x) the reported revenues of the Company shall not be less than $11 million and (y) the reported earnings per share of common stock shall be not less than $0.23 based upon 7,250,000 shares of common stock outstanding, and (iii) both at December 31, 2005 and at the time of any such repayment, holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to sell their shares under an effective registration statement.
