          (a)  The reasons  described in  reasonable  detail in Part III of this

               expense;

PART III - NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, N-CSR,

prescribed time period.

We are unable to file, without  unreasonable effort and expense, our Form 10-KSB
Annual  Report for the year ended  December 31, 2003 because we,  including  our
small  accounting  staff,  have  devoted  substantial  time and effort to recent
business  matters  and  also  due  to our  transition  to  our  new  independent
accountants, as reported on our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on December 2,
2003.  We  anticipate  that our Form 10-KSB  Annual  Report,  together  with our
audited  annual  financial  statements,  will be  filed  on or  before  the 15th
calendar day following the prescribed due date of our Form 10-KSB.



                    Persons who are to respond to the  collection of information
SEC 1344 (07-03)    contained  in this form are not  required to respond  unless
                    the form displays a currently valid OMB control number.

     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

(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?                                   [X] Yes [ ] No

If so, attach an explanation of the  anticipated  change,  both  narratively and

                                    Exhibit A

Revenues  for the year  ended  December  31,  2003 were  $709,388,  compared  to
revenues of $195,817  for the year ended  December  31,  2002.  The  increase in
revenues resulted primarily from licensing agreements with Salomon Smith Barney,
Qualcomm,  CitiGroup  Global and Wireless Retail Pins,  several of which are not
expected  to continue  to  generate  revenue in 2004.  The net loss for the year
ended  December 31, 2003 was  $17,448,173,  compared to a net loss of $8,037,173
for the year  ended  December  31,  2002.  The  increase  in net  loss  resulted
primarily  from costs  related to financing  activities  during 2003.  The above
mentioned amounts for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 are unaudited.
