depreciation expense for tax purposes versus financial statement
purposes.</font></div>

part of its Sarbanes Oxley policy regarding internal controls regarding
financial reporting, immediately reported this issue to the Audit Committee
which promptly initiated&#160;and conducted its review. That review on March 16,
2010 concluded i) that Bagell, Josephs, Levine &amp; Company, LLP (&#8220;BJL&#8221;) had
merged with Friedman, LLP effective January 1, 2010. ii) that neither Management
nor the Audit Committee had &#160;been &#160;previously &#160;notified &#160;of

nor while preparing the quarterly reports and tax returns with BJL Tax
Accountant Services for the pertinent years iii.) that Company management is
responsible for the internal controls over the preparation and review process
for the calculation of the income tax provision which was inadequate, and led to
errors in the computation of deferred tax assets, deferred tax liabilities, and
related income tax provision.</font></div>

pertaining to (i) differences between the income tax basis and the financial
reporting basis of long-lived assets that were not reconciled to the deferred
tax balances (ii) to properly apply a net operating loss to our deferred tax and
provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002, 2003,
2004, and 2005.&#160;&#160;&#160;The effects of these restatements are included
in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009
filed on March 31, 2010 with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.&#160;&#160;The Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 31, 2010
also includes management&#8217;s conclusion that a material weakness existed in our
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. The
preparation and review process for the calculation of the tax provision was
inadequate, which led to errors in the computation of deferred tax assets,
deferred tax liabilities, and related income tax provision.</font></div>
