NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.         BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Pacific Sands, Inc., have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in Pacific Sands, Inc’s Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2008.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein.  The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal 2008 as reported elsewhere in this Form 10-Q have been omitted.

2.         DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Nature of Business - Pacific Sands, Inc. with the right to do business as Natural Water Technologies (the "Company") was incorporated in Nevada on July 7, 1994.
 
Pacific Sands develops, manufactures, markets and sells a range of nontoxic, environmentally friendly cleaning and water-treatment products based on proprietary blended botanical, nontoxic and natural chemical technologies. The Company’s products have applications ranging from water maintenance (spas, swimming pools, fountains, decorative ponds) to cleaning (nontoxic household and industrial) and pet care.

In mid February of 2008, The Company acquired Natural Choices Home Safe Products, LLC, a developer and manufacturer of environmentally friendly cleaning and laundry products. The acquisition added dozens of new products to the Pacific Sands portfolio of earth, health, pet and kid-friendly offerings, including Oxy-Boost™ an oxygen-bleach based, chlorine-free bleach alternative. The Company now has a large selection of oxygen- bleach based formulations available both for retail distribution under its ecoone®, e-2 elemental earth® and Natural Choices™ brands as well as for contract manufacturing and re-label.

The Company markets and sells its product lines directly, over the Internet and through pool, spa, hardware, specialty and other retail outlets in the US, Canada and Europe. The products are also sold via Pacific Sands distributors, manufacturers’ representatives and internationally established pool and spa industry distribution networks. The Company’s products are also sold through numerous popular pool and spa websites.  The Company’s Natural Choices branded product are sold in numerous retail outlets around the country and in Europe as well as dozens of the top environmentally-oriented websites.
 
Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2008

PACIFIC SANDS, INC
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
Depreciation and Amortization - For financial reporting purposes, depreciation and amortization of property and equipment has been computed over estimated useful lives of two to seven years primarily using the straight-line method.  Depreciation and amortization charges totaled $6,542 and $3,540 during the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized when the related products are shipped.
 
Advertising and Promotional Costs - Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred.  During the three months ended September 30, 2008 the Company did not incur any advertising or promotional expenses.  During the three months ended September 30, 2007 advertising and promotion costs totaled $3,341.
 
Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 109.  Under the asset and liability method of SFAS 109, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory rates applicable to future years to the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities.

Accounts Receivable - The Company makes judgments as to the collectibility of trade and other accounts receivable based on historic trends and future expectations.  Management estimates an allowance for doubtful receivables, which reflects its current assessment of the collectibility of the receivables.  Management believes that the current specific and general receivable reserves aggregating $13,602 is adequate as of September 30, 2008.
 
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share - Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 128, Earnings Per Share ("SFAS 128").  Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted net loss per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised.  Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method.  Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
 
Use of Accounting 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
Statement of Cash Flows - For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

PACIFIC SANDS, INC
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - The following is a summary of recent authoritative pronouncements that affect accounting, reporting and disclosure of financial information by the Company.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard also requires expanded disclosures about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS No. 157 is effective for the current quarter. The Company believes that  the adoption of Statement No. 157 may have an impact on the valuation and disclosures regarding intangible assets recorded on the  Company’s financial statements which will be tested for impairment during the Company's second fiscal quarter.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities". SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible items at fair value (the "fair value option"). A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements". The Company has not determined the effect of the adoption of Statement No. 159.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), 'Business Combinations - Revised,' that improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. To accomplish that, this statement establishes principles and requirements how the acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase, and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The changes to current practice resulting from the application of SFAS No. 141(R) are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) before December 15, 2008 is prohibited. The Company has not determined the effect, if any, that may result from the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) on its financial statements.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2008

PACIFIC SANDS, INC
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS No. 161”), which changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities.  Pursuant to SFAS No.161, Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.  SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 with early application encouraged. SFAS No. 161 encourages but does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption.  In years after initial adoption, this Statement requires comparative disclosures only for periods subsequent to initial adoption.  The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 161 to have a material impact on the financial results of the Company.
 
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
 
3.         GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been presented assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company's assets and the satisfaction of its liabilities in the normal course of business.  Through September 30, 2008, the Company has incurred cumulative losses of $4,097,770.  The company's successful transition to attaining profitable operations is dependent upon obtaining financing adequate to fulfill its development, marketing and sales activities and achieving a level of revenues adequate to support the Company's cost structure.  At September 30, 2008 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $22,651 and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $501,962.  Management's plan of operations anticipates that the cash requirements of the Company for the next twelve months will be met by obtaining capital contributions through the sale of common stock, debt financings and from current operations.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in implementing its plan of operations and ultimately achieving operational profitability.  The Company's long-term viability as a going concern is dependent on its ability to 1) achieve adequate profitability and cash flow from operations to sustain its operations, 2) expand revenues from existing or new business and 3) meet current committments and fund the continuation of its business operation in the near future.
 
4.         ACQUISITION

On February 8, 2008 the Company completed the purchase of the assets Natural Choices Home Safe Products, LLC (“Natural Choices”) pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) for a purchase price of $890,000 in cash and shares of Company common stock payable over a three-year period.

The aggregate consideration for the purchase price of Natural Choices was recorded by the Company is as follows:

Common stock issued as earnest money prior to closing, at fair value
  $ 50,000  
Cash paid at closing
    60,000  
Common stock issued at closing, at fair value
    50,000  
Debt obligation incurred
    730,000  
Less: imputed interest on debt obligation incurred
    (82,186 )
    $ 807,814  


 
FORM 10-QSB
SEPTEMBER 30, 2008

PACIFIC SANDS, INC
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The acquisition of the assets of Natural Choices has been accounted for as a purchase and the purchase price, including the direct costs of acquisition, have been allocated as follows:

Accounts receivable
  $ 5,653  
Inventories
    13,687  
Accounts payable
    (45,310 )
Direct cost of acquisition
    (44,070 )
Intangible asset
    877,854  
    $ 807,814  

The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as an intangible asset. Under FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”), goodwill and certain intangible assets are deemed to have indefinite lives and are no longer

amortized, but are reviewed at least annually for impairment. Other identifiable intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives. SFAS 142 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment annually, utilizing the “fair value” methodology. The Company has adopted December 31st as the date of the annual impairment test for the intangible asset. Additional fair value adjustments from the acquisition are being reviewed by management.

General
Pacific Sands, Inc. (the "Company" or "Pacific Sands") was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 7, 1994. The Company's fiscal year ends June 30. The Company is a C-Corporation for federal income tax purposes. The Company does not have subsidiaries or affiliated entities. The Company also does business as "Natural Water Technologies," “ecoone.biz” and Natural Choices.

In mid-June of 2004 the Company completely reorganized its management and leadership team. Since that time the Company has reported 16 consecutive quarters of sustained quarter over same quarter growth.

Pacific Sands develops, manufactures, markets and sells a range of nontoxic, environmentally friendly cleaning and water-treatment products based on proprietary blended botanical, nontoxic and natural chemical technologies. The Company’s products have applications ranging from water maintenance (spas, swimming pools, fountains, decorative ponds) to cleaning (nontoxic household and industrial) and pet care.

In mid February of 2008, The Company acquired Natural Choices Home Safe Products, LLC, a developer and manufacture of environmentally friendly cleaning and laundry products. The acquisition added dozens of new products to the Pacific Sands portfolio of earth, health pet and kid-friendly offerings, including Oxy-Boost™ an oxygen-bleach based, chlorine-free bleach alternative. The Company believes that it now has the largest selection of oxygen bleach based formulations available anywhere both for retail distribution under its ecoone®, e-2 elemental earth® and Natural Choices™ brands as well as for contract manufacturing and re-label.


The majority of the Company’s operating expenses are achieved through gross profits from the sale of its products.  The Company's goal is to achieve sustained and significant profitability through revenues achieved through the sale of its nontoxic, earth, health and kid-friendly, Pool, Spa, Household Cleaning and other product lines.

ACQUISITION OF NATURAL CHOICES

On February 8, 2008 the Company completed the purchase of the assets Natural Choices Home Safe Products, LLC (“Natural Choices”) pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) for a purchase price of $890,000 in cash and shares of Company common stock payable over a three-year period.

Natural Choices Home Products markets environmentally and health friendly consumer and commercial cleaning products both in United States and various territories outside the U.S.  Management believes that the acquisition of Natural Choices benefits the Company in several ways as discussed below.


Reduced Overhead for Natural Choices:
By merging into Pacific Sands, the operational overhead for Natural Choices is significantly reduced, thus potentially substantially increasing gross margins for the Natural Choices products. Natural Choices cost savings include general overhead such as rent and utilities and employee and accounting expenses.

Potential Growth Through In-House Marketing and Sales Support:
Pacific Sands has focused its efforts primarily on marketing and sales for the several years. Consequently, we have a highly qualified marketing and sales staff as well as internal production ability for new labels, printing, video, internet and imaging. Natural Choices has placed more focus on new product development. Consequently, we now have the ability to apply Pacific Sands marketing and sales staff to a fresh, new line of products that, while achieving relatively significant sales, has never been aggressively marketed.

Less Reliance on Narrow Market Channels:
To Date, Pacific Sands has achieved the majority of its sales through the sale of its Ecoone pool and spa water management systems. Since the management transition of 2004, the Company has grown this business in excess of 12 fold. While management believes that the Company will continue to grow the pool, spa and water maintenance sections of the business at its current rate or better, the addition of new sales channels and markets will serve to insulate the Company from industry-specific slow downs and enhance the overall stability of the Company's revenue stream.

The market for environment and health friendly consumer and commercial cleaning products is still in the very early stages and is expanding rapidly. Management believes that the acquisition of Natural Choices, which is already well-established in these markets, places Pacific Sands in an ideal position to actively compete in the environmental products market place.

Expanded Business Model to include Re-label and Custom Formulation:
Natural Choices achieves a significant portion of its revenue through private and custom label sales. Pacific Sands will continue to foster and pursue this business model as it offers the fastest track to entry into the 'big box” distribution. Natural Choices currently sells to approximately 25 re-label and custom label customers. A number of these are manufacturers who already have established sales channels of complementary products through national hardware and building supply chains such as Home Depot, Lowes, etc. For instance, a major paint manufacturer may have a desire to sell a cleaning product to compliment their paint line but no interest in developing or manufacturing that product. This is the ideal situation where Natural Choices' broad spectrum of specialty products can fill a market niche with a built-in distribution channel without having to expend the marketing and sales dollars generally necessary to gain access to those markets.
 


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results for the three months ending September 30, 2008 compared to the three months ending September 30, 2007.

For the three months ending September 30, 2008 net sales were $352,806, an increase of 96% over net sales of $179,807 for the same period in 2007. The increase in sales is attributable to the additional sales recorded as a result of the acquisition of Natural Choices.

For the three months ended September 30, 2008, cost of goods sold was $161,950 compared to $62,863 for the same period in the previous fiscal year.  The Company’s gross margin decreased from 65% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 to 54% for the current fiscal quarter. The significant decrease is due in large part to lower gross margins recognized on certain products acquired from Natural Choices.  This is particularly true of many of the private label products which constitute a significant portion of the Natural Choices product sales.  Prior to the acquisition, Natural Choices manufactured the bulk of their liquid and powder cleaning and laundry products through contract manufacturers, adding significantly to the cost of manufacturing those products. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company made significant capital expenditures, including building an in-house powder filling facility, and is in the process of moving away from contract manufacturers.  Management believes that doing so will significantly increase margins on the Natural Choices product line in the future.

For the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, selling and general administrative expenses were $239,680 and $167,806, respectively.  The overall increase in selling and general administrative is due primarily to a significant increase in salaries and wages expense which was $146,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $77,000 for the same period in 2007.  The increase is attributable to the addition of the former officers of Natural Choices and one additional employee who began employment during the second quarter of fiscal 2008.  The increase in salaries was offset somewhat by a decrease in legal and professional fees which decreased from $46,000 to $32,000 during the first fiscal quarter in fiscal 2009 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2008.  During 2007 the Company incurred legal fees in conjunction with litigation involving the Company's former CEO, Stanley Paulus, which was settled in January 2008.

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $16,088 compared to $2,967 for the three months ended September 30, 2007.  During the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Company amortized $11,325 of the discount of the note payable recorded upon the acquisition of Natural Choices in February 2008.
 
Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $64,912 or $0.002 per share compared to a net loss of $53,829 or $0.002 per share for the same period in fiscal 2007.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Management believes that the Company is positioned for sales growth but will require additional funding to continue operations. The Company's ability to achieve its objectives is dependent on its ability to sustain and enhance its current revenue stream and to continue to raise funds through loans, vendor credit and the private placement of restricted securities until such time as the Company sustains fiscal profitability. To date, the Company has funded operations and expansion through a combination of revenues from the sale of its products, established credit with vendors, deferred salaries and the sale of rule 144 stock through private placement. The Company's failure to continue to raise adequate financing to fund planned expansion may jeopardize its plans for growth.

At September 30, 2008, the Company had current assets of $478,052 and total assets of $1,432,348, compared to June 30, 2008 when current assets were $402,412 and total assets were $1,343,401. The increase in current assets is attributable primarily to an increase in accounts receivable from $256,427 at June 30, 2008 to $326,487 at September 30, 2008. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $22,651 on September 30, 2008. Non current assets include an intangible asset resulting from the acquisition of Natural Choices in the amount of $877,854 which increased from $861,862 at June 30, 2008 as a result of adjustments to purchase price allocations during the three months ended September 30, 2008.

Current liabilities at September 30, 2008 were $1,176,369. Current liabilities include accounts payable, capital lease obligations and accrued expenses totaling approximately $521,000. At September 30, 2008, the Company had outstanding line of credit balances with a bank and finance company totaling $114,000. Current liabilities also include $36,000 in payments due to a former officer pursuant to a settlement agreement executed in January, 2008.  The current portion of the debt obligation incurred for the acquisition of Natural Choices was  $330,000 at September 30, 2008.  The non current portion of the debt is $340,000.  The acquisition debt is payable in cash and the Company’s restricted common stock over a three year period.

Long term liabilities at September 30, 2008 include amounts due pursuant to the settlement agreement involving the Company’s former CEO of $38,500, and the non-current portion of the debt incurred to acquire Natural Choices of approximately $289,000, net of unamortized debt discount.  Long-term capital lease obligations were $30,105 at September 30, 2008.

During September 30, 2008 the Company received $77,000 in loans from investors. The Company and the investors executed a term sheet that obligates the Company to issue convertible notes payable to the investors for their loans.  As of November 20, 2008 the terms of the notes have not been finalized and therefore the notes have not been executed.  The Company anticipates that the notes will be executed prior to December 31, 2008.  The Company expects the term of the notes to be greater than one year and therefore all amounts due are included in long term liabilities at September 30, 2008.
 
Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $91,768 compared to $99,122 used in operating activities during the three months ended September 30, 2007. The net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was slightly higher than the same period in the prior fiscal year due to increased staffing as a result of the acquisition of Natural Choices.

Net cash used in investing activities was $3,857 during the three months ended September 30, 2008.  The Company purchased computer equipment totaling approximately $3,200.  The Company did not use any cash for investing during the quarter ended September 30, 2007.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $110,789 and $87,958 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Company issued restricted common stock for cash totaling $41,169 and also received proceeds from borrowings  in the amount of $116,364.  During the three months ended September 30, 2007, the Company executed a bank line of credit for $100,000. Proceeds from financing activities were used to fund operations and to meet current obligations of notes payable.


On September 30, 2008 the Company had an accumulated deficit of $4,097,770 and stockholders’ total deficit of $179,009.

The Company's ability to achieve its objectives is dependent on its ability to sustain and enhance its revenue stream and to continue to raise funds through loans, credit and the private placement of restricted securities until such time as the Company achieves profitability. To date, management has been successful in raising cash on an as-needed basis for the continued operations of the Company. There is no guarantee that management will be able to continue to raise needed cash in this fashion.

The Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures at this time. The Company has no “off balance sheet” source of liquidity arrangements.
 


Item 3.     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

An investment in the common stock of the Company involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the other information in this report, the following risk factors should be considered carefully in evaluating the Company and its business. This Report contains forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain as they are based on current expectations and assumptions concerning future events or future performance of the Company. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. Forward-looking statements usually contain the words "estimate," "anticipate," "believe," "plan," "expect," or similar expressions, and are subject to numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties. In evaluating such statements, prospective investors should review carefully various risks and uncertainties identified in this report, including the matters set below and in the Company's other SEC filings. These risks and uncertainties could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or publicly announce revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect future events or developments.
 
THE COMPANY HAS EXPERIENCED LOSSES FROM OPERATIONS SINCE COMMENCING OPERATIONS:
With the exception of 4th quarters of fiscal 2007 and 2006, the Company since commencing operations, has not been profitable on an annual or quarterly basis.  The Company may not, in the future, generate sufficient revenues to achieve sustainable profitability.
 
POSSIBLE DIFFICULTY FINANCING PLANNED GROWTH:
The Company's present plans require an amount of expenditure and working capital. In the future the Company will require financing in addition to the cash generated from operations to fund planned growth. If additional resources are unavailable the Company may be unable to grow according to its present plan.
 
MANAGEMENT'S ASSUMPTIONS REGARDING THE FUTURE MARKET MAY BE FAULTY:
Management assumes there will be a continuing and increased desirability in the retail market for nontoxic, environment and health friendly products for cleaning and water treatment use. Should management's assumptions as to this increased desirability be faulty, the Company may have difficulty achieving its planned growth.
 
THE LOSS OF KEY PERSONNEL COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE COMPANY:
The Company is run by a small number of key personnel. Should the Company experience a loss of these key people due to their inability or unwillingness to continue in their present positions, the Company's business and financial results could be adversely affected.



        Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based upon an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the SEC and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2008, management is aware that there is a significant deficiency in our internal control over financial reporting. The significant deficiency relates to a lack of segregation of duties due to the small number of employees involvement with general administrative and financial matters. However, management believes that compensating controls are in place to mitigate the risks associated with the lack of segregation of duties. Compensating controls include outsourcing certain financial functions to an independent contractor. Management concluded that internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of June 30, 2008.

There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting
