ITEM 4.02 NON-RELIANCE ON PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OR
A RELATED AUDIT REPORT OR COMPLETED INTERIM REVIEW.
In connection with our filing of an amendment to registration statement on Form
SB-2/A with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 15, 2006, and
after reviewing certain accounting principles we had applied in our financial
statements for the periods ended March 31, 2005, June 30, 2005 and September 30,
2005 previously filed with the Commission, we have determined that those
financial statements should no longer be relied upon as we failed to indicate
that the certificate of deposit maintained by us with East West Bank ($900,651,
$906,599 and $912,651 at March 31, 2005, June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2005,
respectively) is a restricted asset. Previously, we presented that certificate
of deposit as unrestricted on the consolidated balance sheet and included the
certificate of deposit in the consolidated statements of cash flows as an
element of cash and cash equivalents.
This determination was made by us on February 15, 2006 and affects our quarterly
reports on Form 10-QSB for the periods ended March 31, 2005, June 30, 2005 and
September 30, 2005. We will restate the financial statements included in our
quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB for the periods ended March 31, 2005, June 30,
2005 and September 30, 2005 and file amended quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB/A
for the periods ended March 31, 2005, June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2005, as
soon as practicable. The change in presentation of our certificate of deposit
has no effect on our consolidated balance sheet (other than a clarification that
the certificate of deposit is "restricted cash"), consolidated statements of
operations, loss per share or stockholders' equity. However, the change will
increase the cash used in investing activities and correspondingly decreasing
the cash and cash equivalents for our consolidated statements of cash flows
purposes by $900,651, $906,599 and $912,651 for the interim periods ended March
31, 2005, June 30, 2005, and September 30, 2005, respectively.
Our President and Chief Executive Officer and Vice President of Finance and
Administration (the Company's principal financial and accounting officer)
discussed the matters described herein with our independent accountant.
