              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
GENERAL

      1.    Basis of Presentation

The condensed  unaudited  interim  consolidated  financial  statements  included
herein have been prepared,  without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The condensed consolidated financial
statements  and notes are presented as permitted on Form 10-Q and do not contain
information  included in the  Company's  annual  statements  and notes.  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  pursuant to such rules
and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate
to make the  information  presented not  misleading.  It is suggested that these
condensed  consolidated  financial  statements be read in  conjunction  with the
December 31, 2005 audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying
notes thereto.  While management  believes the procedures  followed in preparing
these condensed consolidated  financial statements are reasonable,  the accuracy
of the amounts are in some  respects  dependent  upon the facts that will exist,
and procedures that will be accomplished by the Company later in the year.

These  condensed  unaudited   consolidated   financial  statements  reflect  all
adjustments,  including normal recurring  adjustments,  which, in the opinion of
management,  are necessary to present  fairly the  operations and cash flows for
the period presented.

      2.    Presentation of Financial Statements

The Company's condensed  consolidated  financial statements include the accounts
of  Medifast,   Inc.  and  its   wholly-owned   subsidiaries.   All  significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

      3.    Inventories

Inventories  consist  principally of finished packaged foods,  packaging and raw
materials held in either the Company's  manufacturing  facility and distribution
warehouse.  Inventories  are valued  with cost  determined  using the  first-in,
first-out (FIFO) method.

      4.    GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
No.  142  "Goodwill  and Other  Intangible  Assets".  This  statement  addresses
financial  accounting and reporting for acquired  goodwill and other  intangible
assets and supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, "Intangible  Assets". It addresses how
intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets
(but not those  acquired in a business  combination)  should be accounted for in
financial  statements upon their acquisition.  This Statement also addresses how
goodwill and other  intangible  assets  should be accounted  for after they have
been initially recognized in the financial statements.  On January 17, 2006, the
Company sold its goodwill  balance of $893,500 when the Consumer  Choice Systems
division was sold.

The Company has intangible assets,  which include:  customer lists,  non-compete
agreements,  trademarks  and  patents.  The  non-compete  agreements  are  being
amortized  over the legal life of the agreements  ranging  between 3 to 7 years.
The customer lists are being  amortized  over a period  ranging  between 5 to 10
years  based on  management's  best  estimate  of the  expected  benefits  to be
consumed or otherwise used up. Trademarks and patents are regularly  reviewed to
determine whether the facts and circumstances  exist to indicate that the useful
life is shorter than  originally  estimated or the carrying amount of the assets
may  not  be  recoverable.  The  Company  assesses  the  recoverability  of  its
trademarks  and patents by comparing  the  projected  discounted  net cash flows
associated with the related asset,  over their remaining lives, in comparison to
their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of
the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets.

On January 17, 2006 the  Consumers  Choice  Systems  division of the Company was
sold  which  included  the sale of  $1,601,000  in gross  intangible  assets and
$265,000 in accumulated amortization.

Amortization expense is included in selling, general and administrative
expenses.

      5.    Fixed Assets

Fixed  assets  are  stated  at  cost.   Depreciation   is  provided   using  the
straight-line  method over the  estimated  useful  lives of the related  assets,
which are generally three to seven years.  Leasehold  improvements and equipment
under capital leases are amortized on a  straight-line  basis over the lesser of
the estimated useful life of the asset or the related lease terms.  Expenditures
for repairs and  maintenance  are  charged to expense as  incurred,  while major
renewals and improvements are capitalized.

      6.    Note Receivable

Medifast  realized  a  $1,503,000  note  receivable  as a result  of the sale of
Consumer  Choice Systems on January 17, 2006 to a former board member.  The note
has a 10-year term with imputted  interest of 4% collateralized by 50,000 shares
of Medifast stock and all the assets of Consumer Choice  Systems.  The amount of
principal  to be  collected  over each of the next 5 years is $183,000  per year
with the remaining amount collectible thereafter of $588,000.


      7.    Income Per Common Share

Basic  income per share is  calculated  by dividing  net income by the  weighted
average  number of outstanding  common shares during the year.  Basic income per
share excludes any dilutive effects of options,  warrants and other  stock-based
compensation.


      8.    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  the  reported  amounts  of assets and
liabilities  and disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities at the date of
the  financial  statements  and the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses
during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

      9.    Share Based Payments

      Stock-Based Compensation

Effective  December 31, 2005,  the Company  adopted the  provisions of Financial
Accounting  Standards Board Statement of Financial  Accounting Standard ("SFAS")
No.  123(R),  "Share-Based  Payments,"  which  establishes  the  accounting  for
employee stock-based awards. Under the provisions of SFAS No.123(R), stock-based
compensation  is measured at the grant date,  based on the calculated fair value
of the award,  and is  recognized  as an  expense  over the  requisite  employee
service period (generally the vesting period of the grant).  The Company adopted
SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective method and, as a result,  periods
prior to  December  31,  2005 have not been  restated.  The  Company  recognized
stock-based  compensation  for awards  issued under the  Company's  stock option
plans in other income/expenses  included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement
of Operations.  Additionally,  no modifications  were made to outstanding  stock
options prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), and no cumulative  adjustments
were recorded in the Company's financial statements.

Prior to December 31, 2005, the Company  accounted for stock-based  compensation
in accordance  with  provisions of  Accounting  Principles  Board Opinion No. 25
("APB  No.  25"),  "Accounting  for  Stock  Issued to  Employees,"  and  related
interpretations. Under APB No. 25, compensation cost was recognized based on the
difference, if any, on the date of grant between the fair value of the Company's
stock and the amount an  employee  must pay to acquire  the stock.  The  Company
grants stock  options at an exercise  price equal to 100% of the market price on
the date of grant.  Accordingly,  no compensation expense was recognized for the
stock option grants in periods prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).

Unearned compensation represents shares issued to executives that will be vested
over a 5-6 year period.  These shares will be amortized  over the vesting period
in accordance  with FASB 123(R).  The expense related to the vesting of unearned
compensation  was  $181,000  and  $0  at  June  30,  2006  and  June  30,  2005,
respectively.


                                       9
<PAGE>


SFAS No. 123(R) requires  disclosure of pro-forma  information for periods prior
to the adoption. The pro-forma disclosures are based on the fair value of awards
at the grant date,  amortized to expense over the service period.  The following
table  illustrates  the effect on net income  and  earnings  per share as if the
Company  had  applied  the fair value  recognition  provisions  of SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation",  for the period prior to the adoption
of SFAS No.  123(R),  and the actual effect on net income and earnings per share
for the period after the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).

      10.   Recent Accounting Pronoumcements


In December  2004, the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  ("FASB")  issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 151, "Inventory Costs."
SFAS No. 151  requires  abnormal  amounts  of  inventory  costs  related to idle
facility,  freight  handling and wasted  material  expenses to be  recognized as
current period charges.  Additionally,  SFAS No. 151 requires that allocation of
fixed  production  overheads to the costs of  conversion  be based on the normal
capacity of the  production  facilities.  The standard is  effective  for fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 did not have a
material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In May  2005,  the FASB  issued  SFAS No.  154,  "Accounting  Changes  and Error
Corrections." SFAS No. 154 replaces Accounting  Principles Board ("APB") Opinion
No. 20,  "Accounting  Changes" and SFAS No. 3, "Reporting  Accounting Changes in
Interim Financial Statements." SFAS No. 154 requires  retrospective  application
to prior  periods'  financial  statements  of a voluntary  change in  accounting
principle unless it is impracticable.  APB No. 20 previously  required that most
voluntary  changes in  accounting  principle  be  recognized  by  including  the
cumulative  effect of changing to the new accounting  principle in net income in
the period of the change.  SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting  changes and
corrections  of errors made in fiscal years  beginning  after December 15, 2005.
The  adoption  of SFAS No. 154 did not have a material  impact on the  Company's
financial position or results of operations.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155,  "Accounting  for Certain Hybrid
Financial  Instruments,  an amendment of FASB  Statements No. 133 and 140." SFAS
No. 155 resolves issues addressed in SFAS No. 133  Implementation  Issue No. D1,
"Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial  Interests in Securitized  Financial
Assets,"  and  permits  fair  value   remeasurement  for  any  hybrid  financial
instrument  that contains an embedded  derivative  that otherwise  would require
bifurcation,  clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are
not subject to the  requirements  of SFAS No. 133,  establishes a requirement to
evaluate  interests in securitized  financial assets to identify  interests that
are  freestanding  derivatives  or that are hybrid  financial  instruments  that
contain  an  embedded   derivative   requiring   bifurcation,   clarifies   that
concentrations  of credit  risk in the form of  subordination  are not  embedded
derivatives and amends SFAS No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying
special-purpose  entity from  holding a  derivative  financial  instrument  that
pertains  to a  beneficial  interest  other than  another  derivative  financial
instrument.  SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or
issued after the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after  September
15, 2006.  The Company is currently  evaluating  the effect the adoption of SFAS
No. 155 will have on its financial position or results of operations.

In March  2006,  the FASB  issued SFAS No. 156,  "Accounting  for  Servicing  of
Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140." SFAS No. 156 requires
an entity to recognize a servicing asset or liability each time it undertakes an
obligation to service a financial  asset by entering  into a servicing  contract
under a transfer of the servicer's  financial assets that meets the requirements
for  sale  accounting,  a  transfer  of the  servicer's  financial  assets  to a
qualified  special-purpose  entity in a guaranteed  mortgage  securitization  in
which the transferor retains all of the resulting securities and classifies them
as either  available-for-sale  or trading securities in accordance with SFAS No.
115,  "Accounting for Certain  Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" and an
acquisition  or assumption  of an  obligation to service a financial  asset that
does  not  relate  to  financial  assets  of the  servicer  or its  consolidated
affiliates.  Additionally,  SFAS No.  156  requires  all  separately  recognized
servicing  assets and  servicing  liabilities  to be initially  measured at fair
value,  permits an entity to choose  either the use of an  amortization  or fair
value method for subsequent measurements, permits at initial adoption a one-time
reclassification  of  available-for-sale  securities  to trading  securities  by
entities with recognized servicing rights and requires separate  presentation of
servicing  assets  and  liabilities  subsequently  measured  at fair  value  and
additional  disclosures  for all  separately  recognized  servicing  assets  and
liabilities.  SFAS No. 156 is effective for transactions  entered into after the
beginning  of the first fiscal year that begins after  September  15, 2006.  The
Company is  currently  evaluating  the effect the  adoption of SFAS No. 156 will
have on its financial position or results of operations.


      11.   Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized for product sales upon shipment and passing of risk to the
customer and when  estimates of  discounts,  rebates,  promotional  adjustments,
price  adjustments,  returns,  and other  potential  adjustments  are reasonably
determinable,  collection is  reasonably  assured and the Company has no further
performance  obligations.   These  estimates  are  presented  in  the  financial
statements  as  reductions  to net revenues and accounts  receivable.  Estimated
sales returns, allowances and discounts are provided for.

Outbound shipping charges to customers and outbound  shipping-related  costs are
netted and included in "cost of sales."

Returns - Consistent  with  industry  practice,  the Company  maintains a return
policy that allows its customers to return product within a specified period (30
days).  Because the period of payment generally  approximates the period revenue
was originally  recognized,  refunds are recorded as a reduction of revenue when
paid. The Company's estimate for returns is based upon its historical experience
with actual returns. While such experience has allowed for reasonable estimation
in the past,  history may not always be an accurate indicator of future returns.
The Company continually monitors its estimates for returns and makes adjustments
when it believes  that actual  product  returns may differ from the  established
accruals.

GENERAL

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2006 AND JUNE 30, 2005

Revenue:  Revenue increased to $39.1 million for the first six months of 2006 as
compared to $18.9 million for the first six months of 2005, an increase of $20.2
million or 107%. The direct  marketing sales channel  accounted for 60% of total
revenue, Take Shape for Life 30%, doctors 5%, and clinics 5%. As compared to the
first 6 months of 2005,  the direct  marketing  sales  channel,  which is fueled
primarily by consumer  advertising,  increased  revenues by approximately  160%.
Take Shape for Life sales, which are fueled by  person-to-person  recruiting and
support  increased  by 70%  year-over-year.  In the first 6 months of 2006,  the
doctor channel  increased sales by 25% and the clinics increased sales by 90% as
compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005.

The growth in  revenue  is  primarily  the  result of an  increased  advertising
campaign in 2006.  The  Company has  expanded  into  additional  print media and
national  cable and network TV spots.  The Company also  continues to expand its
presence on the web through affiliate advertising and paid search on sites, such
as google and yahoo. Additionally,  the Take Shape for Life network continues to
grow as the sales network expands. The Company continues to create new tools and
training   materials  for  health  advisors  and  is  in  the  final  stages  of
implementing a new IT platform. The new software will empower the Take Shape for
Life direct selling model by implementing the  infrastructure and tools that are
critical in supporting health advisors to grow their business.

Due to the significant growth in the first quarter of 2006, Medifast, Inc. began
exploring  third party  over-sourcing  capabilities  in both the call center and
product  production.  The  Company  began  using an  outsourced  call center for
overflow call volume in late April. Also, an outsourced  production facility was
employed  in late April to produce  certain  high  volume  products  in order to
increase  our  inventory  levels for  anticipated  future  growth.  The  Company
believes that these over-sourcing capabilities will provide the Company with the
scalability  necessary to seamlessly  handle  increased  demands as the business
continues to grow.

Costs and Expenses:  Cost of revenue  increased  $4.9 million to $9.6 million in
the first six  months of 2006 from $4.7  million  in 2005.  As a  percentage  of
sales,  gross  margin  increased  to 75.4% for the  first six  months of 2006 as
compared to 75.1% for the first six months of 2005. The slight increase in gross
margin is primarily due to decreased raw material costs as a result of increased
volume discounts.

Advertising  expense  for the first  six  months  of 2006 was  approximately  $7
million as compared to approximately $2 million in the first six months of 2005,
an increase of $5 million.  The increased  marketing was spent  primarily for TV
advertising and print media. The Company  continues to test and analyze which TV
clusters  and print media  provide  the lowest cost to acquire a customer.  This
testing will allow us to spend our  advertising  dollars most  effectively as we
plan on increasing our advertising budget in the first quarter of 2007.

Other  Income/Expense:  Stock  compensation  expense for the first six months of
2006 was $181,000 as compared to $0 in 2005. This expense represents the vesting
of share-based  compensation to key executives over five and six year terms. The
Company has reviewed  unvested  options and  concluded  that the effects of FASB
123R are immaterial.

On January  17,  2006 the  assets of  Consumer  Choice  Systems,  a division  of
Medifast,  Inc.,  were sold to a former Board member.  The promissory note calls
for  monthly  principal  only  payments  over a 10-year  term.  Therefore,  when
imputing an interest rate on the loan, a $323,000 loss had to be realized due to
the  difference  in the  present  value of the note  receivable  compared to the
amount  realizable  over 10-years.  This is a one-time loss that will not affect
any future periods.

Income taxes:  For the first six months of 2006 we recorded $2 million in income
tax expense,  which  represents an annual  effective  rate of 39%. The estimated
annual effective tax rate differed from the U.S.  federal  statutory rate of 35%
due to state income taxes.  For the first six months of 2005, we recorded income
tax expense of $758,000 which reflected an estimated  annual  effective tax rate
of 38%.

Net income: Net income increased to $3.2 million in the first six months of 2006
as compared to $1.3 million in the first six months of 2005,  which reflected an
increase  of $1.9  million  or 146%.  The  increase  in net  income is due to an
increase in sales  offset by  increased  selling,  general,  and  administrative
expenses,  that primarily consist of increased  advertising and commissions paid
to Take Shape for Life health advisors.


THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2006 AND JUNE 30, 2005

Revenue:  Revenue  increased  to $20  million in the  second  quarter of 2006 as
compared  to $10.6  million in the second  quarter of 2005,  an increase of $9.4
million or 89%. The direct  marketing  sales channel  accounted for 60% of total
revenue,  Take Shape for Life 30%, doctors 5%, and clinics 5%. In the comparable
period in 2005, the direct marketing sales channel, which is fueled primarily by
consumer  advertising  increased revenues by approximately  120%. Take Shape for
Life  sales,  which  are  fueled  by  person-to-person  recruiting  and  support
increased by approximately 60%  year-over-year.  For the three-months ended June
30, 2006, the doctor channel  increased  sales by 25% and the clinics  increased
sales by approximately 70% as compared to the second quarter of 2005.

The growth in  revenue  is  primarily  the  result of an  increased  advertising
campaign in 2006.  The  Company has  expanded  into  additional  print media and
national  cable and network TV spots.  During the second quarter the Company did
extensive  testing  of TV and  print  media  in  preparation  for  an  increased
advertising budget in 2007. The testing caused the cost to acquire a customer to
increase,  however,  the Company  feels this  testing is  necessary  in order to
effectively spend increased advertising dollars in the first quarter of 2007.

Costs and Expenses:  Cost of revenue  increased  $2.3 million to $4.9 million in
the second  quarter of 2006 from $2.6 million in the second  quarter  2005. As a
percentage of sales,  gross margin  increased to 75.7% in the second  quarter of
2006 as compared to 75.1% in the second quarter of 2005. The slight  increase in
gross margin is primarily  due to  decreased  raw material  costs as a result of
increased volume discounts.

Advertising expense in the second quarter of 2006 was approximately $4.5 million
as compared to  approximately  $1.2 million in the second  quarter of 2005.  The
increased  marketing  was spent  primarily  for TV  advertising  and print.  The
Company spent approximately $2 million in television and print media for testing
the acquisition of customers  slightly outside of its' current core demographic.
The results of this testing,  although  increasing  the overall cost to acquire,
were very informative in planning for increased future advertising spending. The
Company  believes  that the data  received  through the customer  responses  and
feedback,  along with some minimal  adjustments to  advertisement  placement and
design will allow the new ad venues to become viable customer  acquisition tools
for the expected future advertising campaigns.

Other Income/Expense:  Stock compensation expense for second quarter of 2006 was
$164,000  as compared to $0 in 2005.  This  amount  will be  consistent  for the
remainder  of  2006.   This  expense   represents  the  vesting  of  share-based
compensation  to key  executives  over five and six year terms.  The Company has
reviewed  unvested  options  and  concluded  that the  effects  of FASB 123R are
immaterial.

Income taxes:  In the second quarter of 2006 we recorded  $884,000 in income tax
expense,  which represents an annual effective rate of 39%. The estimated annual
effective tax rate differed from the U.S.  federal  statutory rate of 35% due to
state  income  taxes.  In the second  quarter of 2005,  we  recorded  income tax
expense of $411,000 which  reflected an estimated  annual  effective tax rate of
35%.

Net income:  Net income  increased to $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2006
as  compared  to  $753,000 in the second  quarter of 2005,  which  reflected  an
increase of $747,000 or 99%. The increase in net income is due to an increase in
sales offset by increased selling,  general, and administrative  expenses,  that
primarily  consist of increased  advertising and commissions  paid to Take Shape
for Life health advisors.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company  had  stockholders'  equity of  $25,530,000  and working  capital of
$12,025,000  on June 30, 2006 compared with  $20,602,000  and $8,991,000 at June
30, 2005, respectively.  The $4,928,000 net increase in stockholder's equity and
the  $3,034,000  net  increase  in  working   capital   reflects  the  increased
profitability  of the Company.  The Company's cash position  increased from $1.5
million  at  December  31,  2005 to $2.5  million  at June  30,  2006  which  is
attributable  to the  increased  sales and a decrease in expenses as compared to
total sales  offset by  additional  cash  outlays for  infrastructure  to handle
additional sales growth. On June 30, 2006 the Company's current ratio was 3.6 to
1.


SEASONALITY

The Company's weight  management  products and programs have  historically  been
subject to seasonality. Traditionally the holiday season in November/December of
each year is considered poor for diet control products and services. January and
February  generally show increases in sales,  as these months are considered the
commencement  of the "diet  season." In 2005 and into 2006  seasonality  has not
been a signifant  factor.  This is largely due to the increase in the consumer's
awareness of the overall health and nutritional  benefits  accompanied  with the
use of the  Company's  product  line.  As consumers  continue to increase  their
association of nutritional weight loss programs with overall health, seasonality
will continue to decrease.

INFLATION

To date, inflation has not had a material effect on the Company's business.

Long-Term Employment Contracts

The Board of  Directors of Medifast,  Inc. is in the process of  implementing  a
management  succession  plan which  will take place over the next 24 months.  In
doing  so,  they  have  had 3 key  executive  officers  sign  6-year  employment
contracts  to ensure  that  there  will be  minimal  turnover  in  selected  key
management  positions.  The  Executives  associated  with this  succession  plan
include  Michael S. McDevitt,  President and Chief Financial  Officer,  Margaret
MacDonald, VP of Operations and Brendan Connors, CPA, VP of Finance.  Bradley T.
MacDonald,  the Executive  Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO has signed
and executed a new 5 year employment  agreement as the Executive Chairman of the
Board of Directors and will provide on-going executive mentoring,  financial and
M&A advice, and new business development for the Company.

On February 8, 2006,  three  executive  officers  of the Company  signed  6-year
employment  contracts.  The officers  received shares of common stock in varying
amounts  totaling  380,000  shares at $6.25 per share that will be vested over 6
years. In addition,  Bradley T. MacDonald,  Chairman and CEO signed a new 5-year
employment  agreement  and was granted  100,000 stock options at $6.25 that will
vest over 5 years beginning on February 8, 2007.

Planned stock sale

In order to diversify  his  retirement  portfolio  which is largely  invested in
Medifast  stock,  Bradley  MacDonald,  Chairman  and CEO is  planning on selling
approximately  200,000 shares of Medifast  stock over the next 12 months.  After
the  sale,  he will  still  beneficially  own  approximately  900,000  shares of
Medifast,  Inc. common stock,  which would  currently  represent about 7% of the
outstanding  shares.  After this  transaction,  Mr.  MacDonald will still be the
largest shareholder of Medifast.

Earnings Per Share: The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." The calculation of basic and
diluted earnings per share ("EPS") is reflected on the accompanying Consolidated
Statement of Operations.

Code of Ethics:  In September 2002, the Company  implemented a Code of Ethics by
which  directors,  officers and  employees  commit and undertake to personal and
corporate   growth,   dedicate   themselves   to   excellence,   integrity   and
responsiveness to the marketplace, and work together to enhance the value of the
Company for the shareholders, vendors, and customers.

Trading Policy: In March 2003, the Company  implemented a Trading Policy whereby
if a director,  officer or employee has material non-public information relating
to the  Company,  neither  that  person nor any  related  person may buy or sell
securities of the Company or engage in any other action to take advantage of, or
pass on to others, that information. Additionally, insiders may purchase or sell
MED securities if such purchase or sale is made within 30 days after an earnings
or special  announcement  to include  the 10-K,  10-Q and 8-K in order to insure
that investors have available the same information  necessary to make investment
decisions as insiders.

Internal Control Policy: As of June 30, 2006, the Company's management, with the
participation  of the Chief  Executive  Officer and the President,  performed an
evaluation  of the  effectiveness  of the design and  operation of the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures  pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15.  Based
on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the President have concluded
that the design and operation of these  disclosure  controls and procedures were
effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. In connection with
this  evaluation,  no change in the Company's  internal  control over  financial
reporting was identified  that occurred during the period covered by this report
that has materially  affected,  or is reasonably  likely to affect the Company's
internal control over financial reporting.



Forward Looking Statements:  Some of the information presented in this quarterly
report constitutes  forward-looking statements within the meaning of the private
Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995.  Statements  that are not historical
facts, including statements about management's expectations for fiscal year 2003
and  beyond,  are  forward-looking  statements  and  involve  various  risks and
uncertainties.  Although the Company believes that its expectations are based on
reasonable  assumptions  within  the  bounds of its  knowledge,  there can be no
assurance  that actual  results will not differ  materially  from the  Company's
expectations.  The Company  cautions  investors  not to place undue  reliance on
forward-looking  statements which speak only to management's  experience on this
date.
