Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related
Audit Report or Completed Interim Review

      (a) On January 30, 2006, the Registrant's Chief Financial Officer
discovered and reported to the Audit Committee that he had concluded, due to an
internal typographical data input error, the Registrant's quarterly report on
Form 10-QSB for the period ending September 30, 2005 should no longer be relied
upon. The Audit Committee concurred with the Chief Financial Officer's findings.
As a result the Registrant will file an amendment to its quarterly report on
Form 10-QSB for the period ending September 30, 2005. The value of inventory for
the interim period ending September 30, 2005 was reported as $336,608 higher
than actual due to the typographical data input error.

      To correct this error, in the Registrant's amendment to its quarterly
report on Form 10-QSB for the period ending September 30, 2005, the amount
reported on the Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ending
September 30, 2005 for cost of goods sold will increase by $336,608, resulting
in a decrease in net income of the same amount. In addition, the amount reported
on the Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2005 for inventory will decrease by
$336,608, and the amount of accumulated deficit will increase by the same
amount. While the cash used in operating activities did not change, the net
income and inventory changes reported on the Statement of Cash Flows for the
nine months ending September 30, 2005 will change by $336,608. The effect of
this adjustment is a decrease from $.02 to $.01 in basic and diluted earnings
per share for the nine months ending September 30, 2005, and a decrease from
$.01 to $.00 in basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ending
September 30, 2005.

      The Audit Committee has discussed the matters disclosed in this filing
with the Registrant's independent accountants.
