Other As a corporate policy, we will incur few cash obligations that we cannot satisfy with known resources, of which there are currently none except as described in "Liquidity" below. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company has financed its operations through the private placement of debt and its common stock. We will continue to seek financing as necessary but cannot give any assurances that we will be successful in doing so. We are a public company and, as such, have incurred and will continue to incur additional significant expenses for legal, accounting and related services. Once we become a public entity, subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act of '34, we will incur ongoing expenses associated with professional fees for accounting, legal and a host of other expenses including annual reports and proxy statements, if required. Seasonality We do not yet have a basis to determine whether our business will be seasonal. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K, obligations under any guarantee contracts or contingent obligations. We also have no other commitments, other than the costs of being a public company that will increase our operating costs or cash requirements in the future. 17-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
