                            ATTACHMENT TO FORM 12B-25

            PART (IV)(3) Anticipated Changes in Results of Operations
            ---------------------------------------------------------

The registrant expects to record net income of $2,624,293, or $0.24 per share,
for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 compared to a net loss of ($721,346), or
($0.07) per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The expected net income
for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 versus a net loss in the same period in
2005 is due primarily to the February 22, 2006 sale of the registrant's
ACCELERADE(R) and ENDUROX(R) sports drink patents and trademarks to Mott's LLP,
a division of Cadbury Schwepps, for $4,000,000 cash plus future potential
royalties, a 58% increase in revenues, and a decrease in selling, general, and
administrative expenses.
