Reform Act of 1995. Such forward looking statements are subject to
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to be
materially different from historical results or from any results
expressed or implied by such forward looking statements. Any
forward looking statements speak only as of the date on which such

involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are
difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may
differ materially from what is expressed or forecast in such
forward looking statements, whether as result of new information,
future events or otherwise. Factors that could cause such results
to differ materially from the results discussed in such forward
looking statements include, without limitation: uncertain continued
ability to meet our operational needs in view of continued severe
ongoing working capital constraints; need for substantial
additional capital to fully implement our plan of operations; no
assurances of and uncertainty of profitability; no assurances of
the Company's ability to effect sufficient product sales so as to
maintain exclusivity in certain territorial markets, the result of
which could materially adversely effect the Company's results of
operations; need for additional management, sales and marketing
personnel, which is contingent upon our receipt of additional
capital; competition from companies having substantially great
financial, marketing and other resources than the Company,
including name and brand recognition; the impact of competitive
services and pricing; changing consumer tastes and trends; and the
legal, auditing and administrative cost of compliance associated
with the Sarbanes Oxley Act. Many of such risk factors are beyond
the Company's control. New factors emerge from time to time and it
is not possible for management to predict all of such factors, nor
can it assess the impact of each such factor on the business of the
Company or the extent to which any factor, or combination of
factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those
contained in any forward looking statements. In light of these
risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the results
anticipated in these forward looking statements will in fact occur.
