We will require additional funds to implement our growth strategy. We do not believe that our current cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for the next twelve months. We have had negative cash flow from operating activities as we have not yet begun to generate sufficient and consistent revenues to cover our operating expenses. Until we are able to establish a sufficient revenue stream from operations our ability to meet our current financial liabilities and commitments will be primarily dependent upon proceeds from outside capital sources including USMC, an affiliated entity. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain necessary capital or that our estimates of our capital requirements will prove to be accurate. Even if we are able to secure outside financing, it may not be available in the amounts or times when we require or on favorable terms. We currently do not have any agreements or understandings for additional financing. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital we will be required to delay or forego some portion of our business plan or cease operations.
