for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, including the notes thereto, and
the accompanying report of the company's independent certified public
accountant.
(b) The financial statements of Parent contained in the SEC
Documents including the Forms 10-QSB for the three months ended March 31, 2004
and June 30, 2004 (the "Most Recent Filing Date") have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP and in accordance with the published rules and regulations
of the SEC with respect thereto throughout the periods involved as explained in
the notes to such financial statements. The Parent financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, as of their respective dates, the financial
position of Parent. Parent did not have, as of the date of any such financial
statements, except as and to the extent reflected or reserved against therein,
any liabilities or obligations (absolute or contingent) which should be

Act in effect as of their respective dates. None of Parent's SEC Documents
including the Forms 10-KSB and Form 10-QSB for quarters ended in 2003 and 2004,
as of their respective dates, contained any untrue statement of a material fact
or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. To Parent's knowledge, the failure to file Forms 10-KSB and 10-QSB
for a number of years will not have a material adverse effect on Parent.
