NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2006

(Unaudited)


NOTE 1.  CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

ION Networks, Inc ("ION" or the "Company") designs, develops, manufactures and sells security solutions that protect enterprise network administrative interfaces from improper, unauthorized or otherwise undesirable access from external and internal sources. Administrative interfaces are the network access points used by highly trained technical individuals who are charged with the responsibilities of maintaining and supporting the networks and devices employed within the networks such as servers, routers, PBXs and similar network equipment. These technicians may be employees of the enterprise or employed by third parties such as managed service providers, consultants, device vendors or application developers. In all cases, they are considered “trusted insiders” since in order to perform their jobs; permission to enter and work within the network must be granted. The Company’s solution, comprised of centralized management and control software, administrative security appliances and soft tokens, are designed to provide secure, auditable access to all administrative interfaces and monitored security once working within the network. Service Providers, Enterprises and Governmental Agencies utilize the ION solution globally in their voice, data and converged environments, to establish and maintain security policies while providing the support and maintenance required of networks and their devices.


The Company is a Delaware corporation founded in 1999 through the combination of two companies - MicroFrame ("MicroFrame"), a New Jersey Corporation (the predecessor entity to the Company, originally founded in 1982), and SolCom Systems Limited ("SolCom"), a Scottish corporation located in Livingston, Scotland (originally founded in 1994). The Scottish corporation was dissolved in 2003. The Company's principal objective was to address the need for security and network management and monitoring solutions, primarily for the PBX-based telecommunications market, resulting in a significant portion of the Company’s revenues being generated from sales to various telecommunications companies.


The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2006 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to make the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows at March 31, 2006 and 2005 not misleading have been made.  The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 are not indicative of a full year or any other interim period.


Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes there to included in the report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005, filed on March 29, 2006.

At March 31, 2006, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $43,871,640 and working capital of $166,737. The Company also incurred a net loss of $477,333 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Subsequent to March 31, 2006 the Company received $498,882 from the exercise of 3,325,882 warrants. The Company continues to have a delicate cash position. Management believes it is necessary for it to continue to strictly manage expenditures and to increase product revenues.


On April 28, 2006, the Company repaid in full the outstanding balance on its asset based Revolving Credit Facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”), for $2.5 million with Bridge Bank, N.A.(See note 5). The Company failed to comply with certain financial covenants in the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2006. This default may result in the Company not being permitted to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility in the future.  The Company’s ability to continue operations will be materially adversely affected if it is unable to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility and it is unable to replace the Revolving Credit Facility with another credit facility having satisfactory financial and other terms.



NOTE 2. – SUMMARY OF CERTAIN SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ION Networks, Inc. and its subsidiary. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


Reclassifications


Certain amounts in the financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2005 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the financial statements for the three months March 31, 2006.  The reclassifications were principally due to the change in classification of amortized expense related to capitalized software costs from operating expenses to cost of sales.  There was no change in previously reported net loss.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF CERTAIN SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)


Capitalized Software


The Company capitalizes computer software development costs in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed" ("SFAS No. 86"). SFAS No. 86 requires that the Company capitalize computer software development costs upon the establishment of the technological feasibility of a product, to the extent that such costs are expected to be recovered through future sales of the product. Management is required to use professional judgment in determining whether development costs meet the criteria for immediate expense or capitalization. These costs are amortized to cost of sales by the greater of the amount computed using (i) the ratio that current gross revenues from the sales of software bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues from the sales of that software, or (ii) the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the product. As a result, the carrying amount of the capitalized software costs may be reduced materially in the near term.


The Company records impairment losses on capitalized software and other long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount of those items. The Company’s cash flow estimates are based on historical results adjusted to reflect its best estimate of future market and operating conditions. The net carrying value of assets not recoverable is reduced to fair value. While the Company believes that its estimates of future cash flows are reasonable, different assumptions regarding such cash flows could materially affect the Company’s estimates.


Amortization of capitalized software totaled $38,143 and $30,881 for the three months ending March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Amortization expense is included in Cost of Sales in the Statement of Operations.


Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other instruments to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.  Potentially dilutive securities of 13,116,870 and 12,766,522 at March 31, 2006 and 2005 are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as their inclusion would be antidilutive. 


Stock-Based Compensation

The Company had stock-based compensation expense in the amount of $51,476 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Prior to January 1, 2006 the Company accounted for stock-based compensation under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”). Accordingly, the Company generally recognized compensation expense only when it granted options with a discounted exercise price. Any resulting compensation expense was recognized ratably over the associated service period, which was generally the option vesting term. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company provided pro-forma disclosure amounts in accordance with FAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure" ("FAS 148"), as if the fair value method defined by FAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“FAS 123”), had been applied to its stock-based compensation.

Effective January 1, 2006 the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of “Share Based Payment” (“FAS 123R”), using the modified prospective transition method and therefore has not restated prior periods' results. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 included compensation expense for stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet fully vested as of January 1, 2006 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of FAS 123. Stock-based compensation expense for all share-based payment awards granted after January 1, 2006 is based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of FAS 123R. The Company recognizes these compensation costs over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term.

As a result of adopting FAS 123R, the impact to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2006 on net loss was $46,903 greater than if the Company had continued to account for stock-based compensation under APB 25. There is no impact on both basic and diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2006. As of March 31, 2006, the unvested options totaled $284,472 of which $175,190 is for options granted prior to January 1, 2006 and $109,282 is for options granted after January 1, 2006.

The determination of the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include the price of the underlying stock, the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the expected term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rate and the expected annual dividend yield on the underlying shares.

The Company has used using historical information to estimate expected life and forfeitures within the valuation model. The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the award is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the price of our common stock over the calculated expected life.  The Company does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the future and therefore uses an expected dividend yield of 0.0%.  

Developing these assumptions requires significant judgment on the part of the Company and, generally, may involve analyzing available historical data, considering whether historical data is relevant to predicting future behavior, making appropriate adjustments to historical data for future expectations, supplementing or replacing Company-specific historical data with data from other supportable sources and appropriately weighting each of the inputs.  These assumptions are evaluated at each grant date. If factors change and the Company employs different assumptions for estimating share-based compensation expense in future periods or if the Company decides to use a different valuation model, the future periods may differ significantly from what the Company has recorded in the current period and could materially affect operating income, net income/(loss) and net income/(loss) per share. Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected life of the option. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options. Consequently, there is a significant risk that the Company’s estimates of the fair values of stock-based compensation awards on the grant dates may not reflect the actual values realized upon the vesting, exercise, expiration, early termination or forfeiture of those stock-based payments in the future.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF CERTAIN SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)


If actual results differ significantly from these estimates or different key assumptions were used, there could be a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.  The future impact of the cost of stock-based compensation on our results of operations, including net income/(loss) and earnings/(loss) per diluted share, will depend on, among other factors, the level of equity awards as well as the market price of the Company’s common stock at the time of the award as well as various other assumptions used in valuing such awards. The Company will periodically evaluate these estimates.



8


Warranty Costs

The Company estimates its warranty costs based on historical warranty claim experience.  Future costs for warranties applicable to sales recognized in the current period are charged to cost of sales.  The warranty accrual is reviewed quarterly to reflect the remaining obligation. Adjustments are made when actual warranty claim experience differs from estimates.  The warranty accrual included in other current liabilities as of March 31, 2006 is $10,000.


New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 156 – Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets (“SFAS 156”), which requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value. SFAS 156 permits, but does not require, the subsequent measurement of servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value. Adoption is required as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of SFAS 156 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 155 – Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments (“SFAS 155”), which eliminates the exemption from applying SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 133), to interests in securitized financial assets so that similar instruments are accounted for similarly regardless of the form of the instruments. SFAS 155 also allows the election of fair value measurement at acquisition, at issuance, or when a previously recognized financial instrument is subject to a remeasurement event. Adoption is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of SFAS 155 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


NOTE 3 - INVENTORIES

NOTE 4 – RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CREDITS


As of March 31, 2006, the Company has included as part of accounts payable and accrued expenses certain liabilities that may, in the future, result in additional restructuring credits.  The Company’s accounts payable balance includes invoices for professional services in the amount of $103,687. Accrued expenses include professional services in the amount of $184,671.  These items arose from alleged services provided to the Company between November 2002 and August 2003.  The Company is disputing these amounts with the vendors, however, at the present time, management is unable to estimate the final outcome of these disputes but believes that the final settlement amount should not exceed the total of the above amounts.

NOTE 5 – REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY


On September 21, 2005, the Company entered into the asset based Revolving Credit Facility, for $2.5 million with Bridge Bank, N.A. The Revolving Credit Facility has a two-year term, which upon maturity, requires payment of the outstanding principal and interest balance. The Revolving Credit Facility provides for advances of up to $2.0 million against 80% of eligible accounts receivables and an additional $500,000 against inventory capped at 30% of eligible accounts receivables. The annual interest rate is prime plus 1.75% (9.5% at March 31, 2006), with a minimum prime rate of 6.25%. Certain assets of the Company secure the Revolving Credit Facility, and the Company is subject to certain financial and restrictive covenants, as defined in the agreement. As of March 31, 2006, the outstanding balance on the Revolving Credit Facility was $265,000.


The Company failed to comply with certain financial covenants in the Revolving Credit Facility, as of March 31, 2006. This default may result in the Company not being permitted to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility in the future.  The Company’s ability to continue operations will be materially adversely affected if it is unable to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility and it is unable to replace the Revolving Credit Facility with another credit facility having satisfactory financial and other terms. On April 28, 2006, the Company repaid in full the outstanding balance of the Revolving Credit Facility.


NOTE 6 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY


Common Stock


On August 5, 2004, the Company issued, a convertible debenture (the “Debenture”) for $200,000 cash, to Stephen M. Deixler, one of the Company’s directors. On February 15, 2006, Mr. Deixler converted the Debenture into 2,409,639 shares of common stock. The Debenture would have matured on August 5, 2008 and had an interest rate of five (5%) percent per annum, compounded annually. The principal amount of the Debenture was convertible at any time by the holder into shares of the Company’s common stock, $.001 par value at a conversion price equal to $0.083 per share (the “Conversion Price”), for a total of 2,409,639 shares of common stock.

Warrants

In connection with the sale of common stock on February 14, 2002, the Company issued warrants to purchase 1,120,000 shares of common stock with a five year term and an exercise price of $1.25 per share, subject to certain adjustments, including a weighted-average ratchet adjustment for certain issuances of the Company's equity securities below the warrant exercise price. On April 25, 2006, the Company agreed to reduce the warrant exercise price to $0.15 per share on the condition that warrant holders simultaneously exercise all warrants. The Company received $168,000 from the exercise of these 1,120,000 warrants on April 27, 2006.  

In connection with the sale of common stock on March 31, 2005, warrants to purchase 2,205,882 shares of common stock, subject to certain adjustments, with a five year term and an exercise price of $0.23 per share, subject to certain adjustments, including a full ratchet adjustment for certain issuances of the Company's equity securities below the warrant exercise price, were issued.  In the event that the closing bid price of the Company's common stock equaled or exceeded $0.69 per share for a period of 20 consecutive trading days and certain other conditions were met, the Company would redeem the warrants on 30 days prior written notice (during which periods the warrants could exercised) for a redemption price of $.001 per share of common stock underlying such warrants. On April 25, 2006, the Company agreed to reduce the warrant exercise price to $0.15 on the condition that warrant holders simultaneously exercise all warrants. The Company received $330,882 from the exercise of these 2,205,882 warrants on April 27, 2006.  

Options


On January 23, 2006, the Company adopted its 2006 Stock Option Plan (the "2006 Plan"). The aggregate number of shares of common stock for which options may be granted under the 2006 Plan is 4,000,000. The maximum number of options, which may be granted to an employee during any calendar year under the 2006 Plan, is 300,000. The term of these non-transferable stock options may not exceed ten years. The exercise price of these stock options may not be less than 100% (110% if the person granted such options owns more than ten percent of the outstanding common stock) of the fair value of one share of common stock on the date of grant. On January 23, 2006, the Company granted options to purchase 1,335,000 shares under the 2006 Plan valued at approximately  $57,000, subject to shareholder approval at the Company’s next shareholder meeting. As of March 31, 2006, these 1,335,000 options were the only options outstanding under the 2006 Plan, and they were not exercisable.


On January 23, 2006, the Company granted options to purchase 1,335,000 shares of common stock for an exercise price of $0.18 for a total value of approximately $57,000 under another plan. None of these option grants were exercisable as of March 31, 2006.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION


OVERVIEW

Historically, a significant portion of our revenues in each quarter and year has been derived from sales to relatively few end user customers, and we expect this trend to continue. We do not have purchase contracts with any of our customers that obligates them to continue to purchase our products, and they could cease purchasing products from us at any time. A delay in purchase or cancellation by any of our customers could cause quarterly revenues to vary significantly. In addition, during a given quarter, a significant portion of our revenues may be derived from the sale of a relatively small number of systems. Accordingly, a small change in the number of systems we sell may also cause significant changes in our operating results. Because fluctuations in the timing of orders from our customers or in the number of individual systems we sell could cause our revenues to fluctuate significantly in any given quarter or year, we do not believe that period-to-period comparisons of our financial results are necessarily meaningful, and they should not be relied upon as an indication of our future performance.


For the three months ended March 31, 2006 the Company had a net loss of $477,333, compared to a net loss of $112,300 for same period in 2005.  This $365,033 decline parallels a decline of $301,365 in net sales between those two periods.  The loss for the first quarter of 2006 caused the Company to fail to comply with certain financial covenants of its Revolving Credit Facility.  On April 28, 2006, the Company repaid in full the outstanding balance on the Revolving Credit Facility.

Prior to January 1, 2006 the Company accounted for stock-based compensation under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”). Accordingly, the Company generally recognized compensation expense only when it granted options with a discounted exercise price. Any resulting compensation expense was recognized ratably over the associated service period, which was generally the option vesting term. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company provided pro-forma disclosure amounts in accordance with FAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure" ("FAS 148"), as if the fair value method defined by FAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“FAS 123”), had been applied to its stock-based compensation.

Effective January 1, 2006 the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of “Share Based Payment” (“FAS 123R”), using the modified prospective transition method and therefore has not restated prior periods' results. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 included compensation expense for stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet fully vested as of January 1, 2006 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of FAS 123. Stock-based compensation expense for all share-based payment awards granted after January 1, 2006 is based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of FAS 123R. The Company recognizes these compensation costs over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term.

As a result of adopting FAS 123R, the impact to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2006 on net loss was $46,903 greater than if the Company had continued to account for stock-based compensation under APB 25. There is no impact on both basic and diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2006. As of March 31, 2006, the unvested options totaled $284,472 of which $175,190 is for options granted prior to January 1, 2006 and $109,282 is for options granted after January 1, 2006.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005


Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $477,333 compared to $112,300 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The increased loss of $365,033 was primarily due to a $314,987 reduction in gross margins caused by lower sales revenues and a decline in the relative percentage of higher margin products sold. An additional factor was the application of FAS 123(R) for the first time with respect to the three months ended March 31, 2006, resulting in non-cash stock based compensation cost of $51,476 in that period compared with $0 for the comparable period in 2005.


Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2006 were $631,066, compared to net sales of $932,431 for the same period in 2005, a decrease of $301,365 or 32.32%. The decrease in sales is primarily attributable to reduced billings for software of $115,032, hardware of $100,702, professional services of $45,452 and maintenance of $31,675 in the three month period ended March 31, 2006 compared to the same period of the prior year.


Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $258,239 compared to $244,617 for the same period in 2005. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased, and gross margins accordingly decreased, for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005, with gross margins of 59.1% in the 2006 period and 73.8% in the 2005 period. This was primarily the result of fluctuations in the Company’s sales mix -- the Company’s high margin professional services, software, repair and maintenance revenue generators played a smaller role during the three months ended March 31, 2006 than during the same period in 2005 -- and the impact of a $21,900 positive adjustment to cost of sales during the first three months of 2005.


Research and development expense, net of capitalized software development costs, for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $151,136 compared to $154,069 for the same period in 2005. This decrease of $2,933 or 1.9% was the result of a $20,435 increase compared to the same period last year in the capitalized software development costs which are deducted from research and development expense, partially offset by a $17,384 increase (from $0 during the three months ended March 31, 2005) in non-cash stock based compensation costs of research and development personnel, as the Company applied FAS 123(R) for the first time with respect to the 2006 period.


Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $683,722 compared to $656,427 for the same period in 2005. The increase was due primarily to a non-cash stock based compensation cost of $27,363 for the 2006 period, with no comparable non-cash stock based compensation cost for the 2005 period as FAS 123(R) was not applied to the prior period.


Depreciation expense was $4,146 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to $2,532 in the same period in 2005.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


The Company's working capital balance as of March 31, 2006 was $166,737 compared to $679,515 at December 31, 2005. The decrease was due primarily to the decline in quarterly sales revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2006, which led to a $631,133 reduction in accounts receivable, a $179,192 reduction in cash and an offsetting $319,141 increase in inventory. Another contributing factor was reclassification as a current liability of the Company’s $265,000 revolving credit facility balance as of March 31, 2006. Reductions in accrued payroll and related liabilities of $174,912 and accounts payable of $136,640 had an offsetting positive effect on working capital.


The Company failed to comply with certain financial covenants in the Revolving Credit Facility, as of March 31, 2006. This default may result in the Company not being permitted to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility in the future.  The Company’s ability to continue operations will be materially adversely affected if it is unable to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility and it is unable to replace the Revolving Credit Facility with another credit facility having satisfactory financial and other terms. On April 28, 2006, the Company repaid in full the outstanding balance of the Revolving Credit Facility.


Subsequent to March 31, 2006 the Company received $498,882 from the exercise of 3,325,882 warrants.


On January 23, 2006, the Company granted options to purchase 2,670,000 shares of common stock for an exercise price of $0.18 for a total value of approximately $114,000.


Net cash used by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $305,328 compared to $286,015 in the same period in 2005, a difference of $19,313. Despite improved cash amounts provided by collection of accounts receivable and deferred income of $739,044 and $55,381, respectively, the increased net loss of $365,033, increased inventory amounts of $255,381 and reductions to both accrued payroll and related liabilities of $206,221 and accounts payable of $127,053 resulted in the negative impact on net cash used by operating activities.


Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $133,270 compared to net cash used during the same period in 2005 of $187,007. This decrease of $53,737 was primarily due to a decrease in capitalized software expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2006 to $131,138 from $176,321 for the same period in 2005.


Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $259,406 compared to $734,624 during the three months ended March 31, 2005.  This $475,218 decrease was due primarily to the Company realizing $750,000 in cash (less $15,000 in transaction-related expenses) during the 2005 period from the sale of common stock, offset by the effect of the Company borrowing  $265,000 under the Revolving Credit Agreement during the 2006 period.

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Prior to the filing of this report, the Company’s management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports filed by it under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There has been no significant change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect its internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS


On August 5, 2004, the Company issued, a convertible debenture (the “Debenture”) for $200,000 cash, to Stephen M. Deixler, one of the Company’s directors. On February 15, 2006, Mr. Deixler converted the Debenture into 2,409,639 shares of common stock.
