The reports of BDO on the Company's financial statements, as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that each of these reports contained an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt as to the company's ability to continue as a going concern as a result of recurring losses and a large accumulated deficit.
