|The accompanying financial statements for the three months ended February 28, 2007, include the

|All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

|The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting           
|principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation

|February 28, 2007 of $76,098 and at February 28, 2007, had an accumulated deficit                
|of $4,131,203. In addition, the Company generates minimal revenue from its operations.           
|These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a growing    
|concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from        
|the outcome of this uncertainty. These financial statements do not include any adjustments       
|relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and

|                                                                                                            
|Use of Estimates

|The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted         
|in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that                  
|affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at       
|the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during              
|the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.                                     
|                                                                                                            
|Fair Value of Financial Instruments                                                                         
|                                                                                                            
|For certain of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, prepaid            
|expenses, accounts payable and deferred revenues, the carrying amounts approximate fair value               
|due to their short maturities.                                                                              
|                                                                                                            
|Revenue Recognition                                                                                         
|                                                                                                            
|The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products, and from the performance of services to both      
|related and non-related parties. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products on the gross      
|amount charged basis. Under this method of recording the sale of products, the cost of goods sold           
|reflects the cost of the goods sold to the customer plus the Company's cost of executing the transaction.   
|the Company has chosen this method since it takes ownership of the products that it purchases for           
|resale and assumes the risks and rewards of ownership of the goods.                                         
|                                                                                                            
|For sale of products, revenue is generally recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,    
|delivery has occurred, the contract price is fixed or determinable, title and risk of loss has passed to the
|customer and collection is reasonably assured. The Company's sales are typically not subject to rights      
|of return and, historically, sales returns have not been significant.                                       
|                                                                                                            
|Revenues from services are recognized upon provision of services to the customer. Unearned service          
|revenue is deferred and recognized ratably over the duration of the service term.                           
|                                                                                                            
|Accounts receivable of the Company are reviewed to determine if their carrying value has become             
|impaired. The Company considers the assets to be impaired if the balances are greater than six months       
|old management regularly reviews accounts receivable and will establish an allowance for potentially        
|uncollectible amounts when appropriate. When accounts are written off, they will be charged against the     
|allowance. Receivables are not collateralized and do not bear interest.                                     
|                                                                                                            
|                                                                                                            
|-8-

|Financial instruments which subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk include cash             
|and cash equivalents.

|The Company maintains its cash in well-known banks selected based upon management's                       
|assessment of the bank's financial stability. Balances may periodically exceed the $100,000               
|federal depository insurance limit; however, the Company has not experienced any losses on                
|deposits. The Company extends credit based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition,        
|generally without collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is principally dependent on each          
|customer's financial condition. The Company monitors its exposure for credit losses and maintains         
|allowances for anticipated losses, as required.                                                           
|                                                                                                          
|Cash Equivalents

|For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all short-term investments with an            
|original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalent.

|Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Inventory consists of purchased items held for resale.
|Inventory will be monitored by Company management for excess and obsolete items, and will make            
|the necessary valuation adjustment when required.                                                         
|

|Fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided principally on   
|the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is generally 3 to 10 years. 
|The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for property          
|betterments and renewals are capitalized. Upon sale or other disposition of a depreciable asset, cost     
|and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in other     
|income (expense).

|The Company will periodically evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred that may            
|warrant revision of the estimated useful lives of fixed assets or whether the remaining balance of fixed  
|assets should be evaluated for possible impairment. We use an estimate of the related undiscounted        
|cash flows over the remaining life of the fixed assets in measuring their recoverability.                 
|

|Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive

|The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under             
|the asset and liability method of SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized         
|for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements           
|carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax       
|assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income        
|in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.             
|

|In accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," the basic income / (loss) per common            
|share is computed by dividing net income / (loss) available to common stockholders by the              
|weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income per common share is               
|computed similar to basic income per share except that the denominator is increased to include         
|the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common        
|shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. As of February 28,           
|2006 and 2006, the Company does not have any equity or debt7instruments outstanding that can be        
|converted into common stock.

|Effective January 1, 2006, the Company prospectively adopted FAS 123 R , Stock -Based Payments,        
|and related Securities and Exchange Commission rules included in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107.    
|Under this method, compensation cost recognized beginning January 1, 2006 will include costs related to
|all share-based payments granted subsequent to December 31, 2005 based on the grant-date fair value

|Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company measured compensation cost for stock-based employee              
|compensation plans using the intrinsic value method of accounting as prescribed in Accounting          
|Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations.
|For non-employee stock based compensations, the Company recognizes expense in accordance with          
|FAS 123 and values the equity securities based on the fair value of the security on the date of grant.

|In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment"                   
|("SFAS 123R"). SFAS 123R will provide investors and other users of financial statements with           
|more compete and neutral financial information by requiring that the compensation costs relating to    
|share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be              
|measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued SFAS 123R covers        
|a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted              
|share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase           
|plans. SFAS 123R replaces SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", and                 
|supercedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". SFAS 123, as                
|originally issued in 1995, established as preferable a fair-value-based method of accounting for       
|share-based payment transactions with employees. However, that statement permitted entities            
|the option of continuing to apply the guidance in Opinion 25, as long as the footnotes to financial    
|statements disclosed what net income would have been had the preferable fair-value based method

|In March, 2005, the SEC issued guidance on FASB SFAS 123R,"Share-Based Payments"("SFAS                   
|No. 123R"). Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 ("SAB 107") was issued to assist preparers by simpli-      
|fying some of the implementation challenges of SFAS No. 123R while enhancing the information             
|that investors receive. SAB 107 creates a framework that is premised on two themes: (a) consider-        
|able judgment will be required by preparers to successfully implement SFAS no. 123R, specifically        
|when valuing employee stock options; and (b) reasonable individuals, acting in good faith, may           
|conclude differently on the fair value of employee stock options. Key topics covered by SAB 107          
|include (a) valuation models - SAB 107 reinforces the flexibility allowed by SFAS No. 123R to            
|choose an option-pricing model that meets the standard's fair value measurement objective; (b)           
|expected volatility - SAB 107 provides guidance on when it would be appropriate to rely exclusively      
|on either historical or implied volatility; and ( c) expected term - the new guidance includes examples  
|and some simplified approaches to determining the expected term under certain circumstances.             
|The Company will apply the principles of SAAB 107 in conjunction with its adoption of SOFAS No.          
|123R.                                                                                                    
|                                                                                                         
|In June, 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EAT) issued No. 05-06,"Determining the Abort-             
|inaction Period of Leasehold Improvements Acquired in a Business Combination"(EAT No. 05-06).            
|EAT No. 05-06 provides that the amortization period for leasehold improvements acquired in a             
|business combination or purchased after the inception of a lease to be the shorter of (a) the useful     
|life of the assets or (b) a term that includes required lease periods and renewals that are reason-      
|ably assured upon the acquisition of the purchase. The guidance in EAT No. 05-06 will be applied         
|prospectively and is effective for periods beginning afar June 29, 2005. The Company does not            
|believe its adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations or            
|financial position.                                                                                      
|                                                                                                         
|In June, 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ('FASB") issued SFAS No. 154,Account-            
|ing Changes and Error Corrections - a replacement of APB No. 20 and FAS No. 3" ("SFAS No. 154").         
|SFAS No. 154 provides guidance on the accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and             
|error corrections. It establishes, unless impracticable, retrospective application as the required       
|method for reporting a change in accounting principle in the absence of explicit transition require-     
|mints specify to the newly adopted accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 also provides guidance             
|for determining whether retrospective application of a change in a accounting principle is impractical-  
|able. The correction of an error in previously issued financial statements is not an accounting          
|change. However, the reporting of an error correction involves adjustments to previously issued          
|financial statements similar to those generally applicable to reporting an accounting change retro-      
|spectively. Therefore, the reporting of a correction of an error by restating previously issued financial
|is also addressed by SFAS No. 154. SFAS No. 154 is required to be adopted in fiscal years                
|beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not believe its adoption in fiscal year 2007         
|will have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.                          
|                                                                                                         
|In February, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Statement of             
|Financial Accounting Standards No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Instruments" (SFAS 155),          
|which amends SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," and               
|SFAS 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of              
|Liabilities." SFAS 155 allows financial instruments that have embedded derivatives to be accounted       
|for as a whole (eliminating the need to bifurcate the derivative from its host) if the holder elects to  
|account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. SFAS 155 also clarifies and amends certain       
|other provisions of SFAS 133 and SFAS 140. This statement is effective for all financial instruments     
|acquired or issued in the fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. The Company does not          
|expect its adoption of this new standard to have a material impact on the Company's financial            
|position, results of operations or cash flows.

|In March, 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156 "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets -                
|an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140" ("SFAS 156"). This statement was issued to simplify                 
|the accounting for servicing assets and liabilities, such as those common with mortgage securitization      
|activities. The statement addresses the recognition and measurement of separately recognized servicing      
|assets and liabilities and provides an approach to simplify hedge-like (offset) accounting. SFAS 156        
|clarifies when an obligation to service financial assets should be separately recognized (as servicing      
|asset or liability), requires initial measurement at fair value and permits an entity to select either the  
|Amortization Method of the Fair Value Method. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning        
|after September 15, 2006. The Company does not expect it adoption of this new standard to have a            
|material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.                   
|                                                                                                            
|In July, 2006, the FASB issued interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes",         
|("FIN 48"), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 clarifies the     
|accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with        
|FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." This interpretation prescribes a                     
|comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its               
|financial statements uncertain tax positions that the company has taken or expects to take on a tax         
|return. The Company does not expect that the implementation of FIN 48 will have a material impact           
|on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.                                             
|                                                                                                            
|In September, 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements," which defines                  
|fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting               
|principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective in fiscal          
|years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the             
|adoption of this statement will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.                    
|                                                                                                            
|In September, 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158 "Employers' Accounting for Defined Pension and             
|Other Postretirement Plans." This Statement requires recognition of the funded status of a single-          
|employer defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial         
|position. Funded status is determined as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the       
|benefit obligation. Changes in that funded status should be recognized in other comprehensive income.       
|This recognition provision and the related disclosures are effective as of the end of the fiscal year ending
|after December 15, 2006. The Statement also requires the measurement of plan assets and benefit             
|obligations as of the date of the fiscal year-end statement of financial position. This measurement         
|provision is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect         
|its adoption of this new standard to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results    
|of operations or cash flows.

|On September 13, 2006 the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Sec") issued Staff Accounting                
|Bulletin No. 108 ("SAB 108") which provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover       
|or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement.

|On May 11, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with a Partner. The Company will assist           
|the Partner in identifying opportunities for commercialization of their listed technologies, while main- 
|taining the confidentiality of the Partner.                                                              
|                                                                                                         
|As compensation for providing these services, the Partner gave the Company 5,000,000 shares of           
|Section 144 stock which is restricted from sale for twelve months from date of issue, May 11, 2005.      
|The agreement is for a period of twenty four months.                                                     
|                                                                                                         
|The Company recorded the stock at the value of the services to be provided which is estimated to be      
|$100,000. The Company recorded revenue for the six month period from May through November,               
|2005 in the amount of $25,000, $50,000 for the year ended November 30, 2006, and $12,500                 
|for the three months ended February 28, 2007. The balance of $12,500 is included as deferred             
|revenues on the balance sheet.

|The Company has adopted SFAS 130 as required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board.                
|SFAS 130 requires that securities that are available for sale be presented at market value on the        
|balance sheet date. Unrealized gains and losses are recognized as a separate component of                
|stockholders' equity. The specific identification method is used in calculating realized gains and       
|losses. SFAS 30 also requires a statement of comprehensive income which adjusts net income               
|for the unrealized activity. At November 30, 2006, the fair market value of common equity securities     
|with a cost of $100,000 was $73,000. The unrealized loss of $27,000, is included as a                    
|component of other comprehensive income.

|The Company has agreed to exercise options to license stem cell technology through the University        
|of British Columbia under two option agreements.

|Having passed the initial validation phase, the Company is working toward a full licensing relation-     
|ship and will begin pre-clinical analysis of how the cell line can be utilized. The Company is           
|considering investigating the stem cells applications in combating ALS and Parkinson's disease.          
|                                                                                                         
|The licenses are for periods of ten to twenty years. The Company will review the licenses at least       
|annually. When necessary, we record changes for impairments of long-lived assets for the amount          
|by which the present value of future cash flows, or some other fair value measure, is less than the      
|carrying value of the respective asset.

|As of August 31, 2006, the Company management determined that the value of the licenses had become       
|impaired since the Company was no longer pursuing stem cell research. This determination was based       
|on the resignation of the head of the Company's stem cell research department and the inability to locate
|a replacement at an economically feasible compensation package. The resignation was effective during     
|the Company's third quarter.

|We were incorporated in the State of Utah on June 29, 1983, under the name Teal Eye, Inc. We merged with                   
|Terzon Corporation and changed our name to Terzon Corporation in 1984. We subsequently changed our name to                 
|Candy Stripers Candy Corporation. We were engaged in the business of manufacturing and selling candy and gift items        
|to hospital gift shops across the country. We were traded Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board for several years. In 1986       
|we ceased the candy manufacturing operations and filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection. After emerging from           
|Bankruptcy in 1993, we remained dormant until January 1998, when we changed our name to Piedmont, Inc. On May              
|13, 2003, we filed an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to change our name from Piedmont, Inc. to US              
|Biodefense, Inc. We are a registered government contractor with the Department of Defense Logistics Agency that is         
|focused on designing ad developing homeland security and biodefense products.                                              
|                                                                                                                           
|During the year ended November 30, 2006, we impaired various licenses related to our stem cell research                    
|operations. This impairment was due to the resignation of our stem cell research department head and our inability to      
|engage a replacement. As a result, we do not intend to continue to pursue stem cell research initiatives. However, we      
|do intend to continue to evaluate additional biological research programs for the possibility of commercialization.        
|                                                                                                                           
|On August 7, 2006, we completed the acquisition of Emergency Disaster Systems, Inc., a California                          
|corporation incorporated on July 19, 2006. EDS provides mitigation services, emergency preparedness, and first             
|response products to communities, government agencies, corporations and healthcare organizations. We purchased a           
|100% interest in EDS for an aggregate of $25,000 in cash. The EDS system, encompassing CERT bags, containers and           
|cabinets was initially designed and originated by Charles Wright in 1989 to provide earthquake preparedness supplies to    
|communities in California. EDS provides mitigation services, emergency preparedness, and first response products to        
|communities, government agencies, corporations and healthcare organizations. The basic kits contain a three day            
|supply of food and water rations, in addition to first aid, lighting, hygiene and personal care items and can be scaled for
|individual use or for a family. EDS also sells a stand-alone emergency radio siren product. We believe these items help    
|mitigate a persons vulnerability to disasters such as fires, floods and earthquakes. EDS currently serves Emergency       
|Medical Services and mass casualty rapid response systems, as well as local communities, government agencies and           
|Fortune 500 companies with innovative emergency preparedness technology, systems and services. Charles Wright,             
|with his 18 years of experience, currently serves as Vice President and Director of Emergency Disaster Systems, Inc.,      
|which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of US Biodefense.

|Our revenues are derived primarily from three sources: sales of tangible products, services and related parties.          
|Sales of tangible products are attributable solely to Emergency Disaster Systems, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary that  
|we acquired on August 7, 2006. Revenue from services is derived from the recognition of deferred revenues from stock      
|received in advance for services to be performed by us to Diamond I. Finally, revenue from related parties is solely      
|from our October 15, 2005 contract with Financialnewsusa.com, a related party, to provide biodefense-related industry     
|news and information to them in exchange for $40,000, for which we were paid in advance the entire balance of the         
|contract.                                                                                                                 
|                                                                                                                          
|During the three months ended February 28, 2007, we generated aggregate revenues of $101,354, compared to                 
|total revenues of $20,000 during the year ago three month period ended February 28, 2007. This 407% increase in total     
|revenues, or $81,354, is materially attributable to the acquisition of EDS in the third quarter of 2006, which contributed
|$88,854 in revenues from sales of tangible products during the three month period ended February 28, 2007, as opposed     
|to $0 in the year ago period ended February 28, 2006.                                                                     
|                                                                                                                          
|Revenues from services realized during the quarter ended February 28, 2007 were $12,500, all of which is                  
|related to our arrangement to identify technology commercialization opportunities for Diamond I to research               
|universities, government laboratories and third member private parties. We did not realize any revenues from services     
|in the quarter ended February 28, 2006.                                                                                   
|                                                                                                                          
|For the three month period ended February 28, 2007, we did not recognize any revenues from related parties.               
|During the three months ended February 28, 2006, we realized $20,000 in revenues from our agreement with                  
|Financialnewsusa.com, a related party, to which we provided biodefense-related industry news and information. The         
|substantial decrease of is due to the expiration of our agreement with that related entity.                               
|                                                                                                                          
|Gross Profit

|In association with sales of tangible products related specifically to our EDS operations, we incurred cost of            
|goods sold in the amount of $60,515 during the three months ended February 28, 2007. This amount represents a             
|margin of approximately 46% on sales of tangible products, and a gross margin of 40% on total revenues. After             
|factoring cost of goods sold, our gross profit was $40,839 during the three months ended February 28, 2007. In the year   
|ago period ended February 28, 2006, we did not incur any cost of goods sold, as we did not sell any tangible items.       
|Resultantly, our gross profit for the quarter ended February 28, 2006, was $20,000.

|Total expenses for the three month period ended February 28, 2007 were $116,937, consisting solely of general             
|and administrative expenditures. In the comparable year ago period ended February 28, 2006, we incurred total             
|expenses of $22,154. Aggregate expenses increased approximately 428%, or $94,783, from year to year due primarily         
|to our incurring expenses during the period ended February 28, 2007 not previously incurred in the period ended           
|February 28, 2006.

|We paid related parties a total of $3,000 during the period ended February 28, 2006 for miscellaneous                     
|expenses, such as professional fees, expense reimbursements and other general costs. In the most recent quarter ended     
|February 28, 2007, we did not incur any related party expenses.

|During the year ended November 30, 2006, we impaired assets related to our intellectual property licenses, as             
|we determined that the value of the licenses had become impaired since we were no longer pursuing stem cell research.     
|This determination was based on the resignation of the head of our stem cell research department and the inability to     
|locate a replacement at an economically feasible compensation package. Further to this decreased pursuit of stem cell     
|research, our research and development costs have decreased substantially from $12,866 in the quarter ended February      
|28, 2006 to nothing in the most recent quarter ended February 28, 2007.

|General and administrative expenses increased substantially by 1,760%, or $110,649, year over year from                  
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|$6,288 in the quarter ended February 28, 2006 to $116,937 in the three months ended February 28, 2007. Or                
|management believes the rise in these expenditures are correlated with our increased business activities and ongoing     
|pursuit of our business objectives. General and administrative expenses mainly consist of office expenditures such as    
|postage and delivery fees, supplies and other similar miscellaneous items. We expect to continue to incur general and    
|administrative expenses for the foreseeable future, although we cannot estimate the extent of these costs.               
|                                                                                                                         
|We expect to continue to incur expenditures in the foreseeable future related to ongoing research and                    
|development and the expansion of our business operations. As we continue to pursue research and development efforts,     
|we expect expenses to stabilize over the next several years. Unfortunately, we cannot accurately estimate the extent or  
|impact of ongoing expenses.

|Our loss before accounting for income taxes totaled $76,098 for the three months ended February 28, 2007,                
|compared to a loss before income taxes of $2,154 in the prior period ended February 28, 2006. As we did not recognize    
|any income taxes in the most recent period, nor in the year ago three month period ended February 28, 2006, our net      
|loss from operations totaled $76,098 for the three months ended February 28, 2007 and $2,154 for the three months        
|ended February 28, 2006. This represents a widening deficit of 3,433%, or $73,944, in a year-to-year comparison.         
|Although we anticipate incurring ongoing operating losses, we expect these losses to narrow in year-to-year comparison   
|as we generate increased revenues and as expenses begin to plateau over the next several years. However, we cannot       
|guarantee the accuracy of our expectations.

|We have limited cash on hand, and may be unable to continue operations for the next at least 12 months if we             
|are unable to generate revenues or obtain capital infusions by issuing equity or debt securities in exchange for cash. As
|of February 28, 2007, we had $13,009 in cash, $61,566 in net accounts receivables and $85,192 in saleable inventory.     
|If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows from sales of our products and services, collect outstanding accounts 
|receivable, or to obtain capital through issuances of equity or debt, David Chin, a shareholder and President of our     
|company, has verbally agreed to loan us cash, which shall bear no interest and be due upon demand. Through February      
|28, 2007, David Chin loaned us a total of $41,600 to pay for general and administrative expenses. The loan bears no      
|interest and is due upon demand. As of February 28, 2007, the amount owed was $41,600. We have no formal written         
|agreement with Mr. Chin for any further loans, and we cannot guarantee you that we will be able to enforce our verbal    
|agreement. Notwithstanding this, there can be no assurance that we will be able to secure additional funds in the future 
|to stay in business. Our independent registered public accountants have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to 
|continue as a going concern because we have limited operations.                                                          
|                                                                                                                         
|There are no known trends, events or uncertainties that have had or that are reasonably expected to have a               
|material impact on our revenues from continuing operations.

|Our management does not anticipate the need to hire additional full- or part- time employees over the next 12            
|months, as the services provided by our officers and directors appear sufficient at this time. We believe that our       
|operations are currently on a small scale that is manageable by a few individuals. While we believe that the addition of 
|employees is not required over the next 12 months, we intend to hire independent contractors to perform research         
|activities and market any potential products and services we may develop.

|We have not paid for expenses on behalf of any of our directors. Additionally, we believe that this fact shall
