ITEM 3.01     NOTICE OF DELISTING OR FAILURE TO SATISFY A CONTINUED LISTING RULE
OR  STANDARD.

     On  August  8,  2005,  the  Company  received  a  letter  from  the Listing
Qualifications  Department  of  the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") notifying the
Company  that  the  issuance by the Company of its Secured Convertible Debenture
("Debenture")  to Mr. Ralph McElroy as described in its Form 8-K filed on August
3,  2005,  was non-compliant with shareholder approval requirements as set forth
in  Marketplace  Rule  4350(i)(1)(B)  (the  "Rule")  which  requires shareholder
approval  of any transaction when the issuance or potential issuance will result
in  a  change of control of the issuer. Based upon the issuance of a new Secured
Convertible  Debenture  by  the  Company  which  supersedes  and replaces in its
entirety  the  original Debenture and which addressed and cured this matter, the
Staff  determined,  as noted in their letter of August 8, 2005, that the Company
had  regained  compliance  with  the  Rule  and  the  matter  was  closed.

     Pursuant  to  the  requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
registrant has duly caused this report on Form 8-K to be signed on its behalf by
