(the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) had planned on timely filing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30,
2012 (the &ldquo;June 30, 2012 Form 10-Q&rdquo;), and timely disclosing under Part II, Item 5(a) of such June 30, 2012 Form
10-Q the events being reported in this Current Report on Form 8-K. However, on August 13, 2012, the Company&rsquo;s financial
printer and Edgar filer, filed an incorrect version of the Company&rsquo;s June 30, 2012 Form 10-Q and omitted the disclosure
that was intended to be included in Part II, Item 5(a) of the June 30, 2012 Form 10-Q. The Company is filing this Current

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">On August 7, 2012 (the &ldquo;Effective Date&rdquo;), the Company
issued a $400,000 Promissory Note (the &ldquo;$400,000 JMJ Note&quot;) to JMJ Financial, (&quot;JMJ&quot;, or the &ldquo;Lender&quot;).
The Principal Sum due to the Lender shall be prorated based on the consideration actually funded by the Lender, plus an approximate
10% Original Issue Discount (&quot;OID&quot;) that is prorated based on the consideration actually funded by the Lender as well
as any other interest or fees, such that the Company is only required to repay the amount funded and the Company is not required
to repay any unfunded portion of the $400,000 JMJ Note.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The $400,000 JMJ Note has a maturity date of twelve (12) months
from the Effective Date of each amount funded. If the $400,000 JMJ Note is repaid within ninety (90) days of the Effective Date,
the interest rate shall be zero percent (0%). If the $400,000 JMJ Note remains outstanding after 90 days, a one-time 5% interest
rate will be applied. In addition, the Lender has the right, at any time 90 days after the Effective Date, at its election, to
convert all or part of the outstanding and unpaid Principal Sum and accrued interest (and any other fees) into shares of fully
paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Company. The Conversion Price is the lesser of $1.50 or 70% of the lowest
trade price in the 25 trading days previous to the conversion.</P>

the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the event of default under the $400,000 JMJ Note, default interest will accrue at a
rate of 18% and the Company will be assessed a significant default penalty as defined in paragraph 8 of the $400,000 JMJ Note.</P>

issued a $400,000 Promissory Note (the "$400,000 JMJ Note") to JMJ Financial, ("JMJ", or the "Lender").
The Principal Sum due to the Lender shall be prorated based on the consideration actually funded by the Lender, plus an approximate
10% Original Issue Discount ("OID") that is prorated based on the consideration actually funded by the Lender as well
as any other interest or fees, such that the Company is only required to repay the amount funded and the Company is not required
to repay any unfunded portion of the $400,000 JMJ Note.
The $400,000 JMJ Note has a maturity date of twelve (12) months
from the Effective Date of each amount funded. If the $400,000 JMJ Note is repaid within ninety (90) days of the Effective Date,
the interest rate shall be zero percent (0%). If the $400,000 JMJ Note remains outstanding after 90 days, a one-time 5% interest
rate will be applied. In addition, the Lender has the right, at any time 90 days after the Effective Date, at its election, to
convert all or part of the outstanding and unpaid Principal Sum and accrued interest (and any other fees) into shares of fully
paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Company. The Conversion Price is the lesser of $1.50 or 70% of the lowest
trade price in the 25 trading days previous to the conversion.
The common shares issuable upon conversion of the $400,000 JMJ
Note have "piggyback" registration rights and must be included the next registration statement the Company files with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the event of default under the $400,000 JMJ Note, default interest will accrue at a
rate of 18% and the Company will be assessed a significant default penalty as defined in paragraph 8 of the $400,000 JMJ Note.
The initial consideration received on August 8, 2012 was $100,000,
and the Company has not received any further consideration to date from the Lender.
The issuance of the $400,000 JMJ Note referred to above (and
any shares of common stock underlying them) are made in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Report on Form 8-K. The summary of the terms of the $400,000 JMJ Note contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference
