the Company previously reported in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, in September 2011, the Company and
its CEO were sued in Travis County, Texas, 126<SUP>th</SUP> Judicial District Court, by a shareholder, Diane McElroy, who alleges
damages as a result of her alleged inability to sell shares on the open market due to restrictive legends which she alleges the
defendants failed to remove in a timely manner. Mediation of this matter failed on February 28, 2012, and the matter will proceed
with a trial setting of April 2, 2012. The plaintiff alleges damages of $8,500,000 for the loss of value of her stock, as well
as unspecified damages for all actual economic, direct, indirect, special and incidental damages, including punitive damages and
disgorgement of the alleged benefit the Company received from the sale of its own stock. </FONT>While the Company denies any liability
in this matter and is vigorously defending all allegations, if we do not prevail and a final judgment is rendered against us, substantially
all of this claim would not be covered by insurance.</P>
