| September 30, 2010 (Unaudited) and December 31, 2009 |
| NOTE 1 - | BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION | |
| The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared by the | ||
| Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. | ||
| Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared | ||
| in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted | ||
| in accordance with such rules and regulations. The information furnished in the interim | ||
| condensed financial statements include normal recurring adjustments and reflects all | ||
| adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of | ||
| such financial statements. Although management believes the disclosures and information | ||
| presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these | ||
| interim condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's audited | ||
| financial statements and notes thereto included in its December 31, 2009 Annual Report on | ||
| Form 10-K. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not | ||
| necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, | ||
| 2010. | ||
| The Company was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware in December 1989. The | ||
| Company was in the development stage from 1989 to 1991. The Company was an operating | ||
| company from 1992 to December 8, 1993 when it filed petitions for relief under Chapter 11 | ||
| bankruptcy. The Company was inactive until July 5, 1996 when the Company merged with | ||
| Klever Kart, Inc. in a reverse merger and changed its name to Klever Marketing, Inc. The | ||
| Company has been in the development stage since the reverse merger occurred. | ||
| The Company was formed for the purpose of creating a vehicle to obtain capital, to file and | ||
| acquire patents, to seek out, investigate, develop, manufacture, market and distribute an | ||
| electronic shopping cart for in-store advertising, promotion and media content and retail | ||
| shopper services, which have potential for profit. | ||
| NOTE 2 - | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
| Loss Per Share | ||
| In accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share (ASC 260) (formerly SFAS No. 128), the | ||
| computations of basic and fully diluted loss per share of common stock are based on the | ||
| weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period of the financial | ||
| statements, plus the common stock equivalents which would arise from the exercise of stock | ||
| options and warrants outstanding during the period, or the exercise of convertible debentures. | ||
| Common stock equivalents have not been included in the computations for the periods ended | ||
| September 30, 2010 and 2009 because they are anti-dilutive. |

| Income Taxes | ||
| The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740) | ||
| (formerly SFAS No. 109). Under this accounting standard, deferred tax assets and liabilities | ||
| are determined based on temporary differences between the bases of certain assets and | ||
| liabilities for income tax and financial reporting purposes. The deferred tax assets and | ||
| liabilities are classified according to the financial statement classification of the assets and | ||
| liabilities generating the differences. The Company maintains a full valuation allowance with | ||
| respect to any deferred tax assets. |

| Notes to Condensed Financial Statements | |
| September 30, 2010 (Unaudited) and December 31, 2009 |
| NOTE 2 - | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) | |
| Income Taxes (Continued) | ||
| ASC 740 requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position | ||
| will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. If the more- | ||
| likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the | ||
| amount to recognize in the financial statements. As a result of the implementation of ASC 740, | ||
| the Company performed a review of its material tax positions in accordance with and | ||
| measurement standards established by ASC 740. At the adoption date of January 1, 2007, the | ||
| Company had no unrecognized tax benefit which would affect the effective tax rate if | ||
| recognized. There has been no significant change in the unrecognized tax benefit through | ||
| September 30, 2010. The Company also estimates that the unrecognized tax benefit will not | ||
| change significantly within the next twelve months. | ||
| The Company establishes a valuation allowance based upon the potential likelihood of realizing | ||
| the deferred tax asset and taking into consideration the Companys financial position and | ||
| results of operations for the current period. Future realization of the deferred tax benefit | ||
| depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income within the carryforward period under the | ||
| Federal tax laws. | ||
| Changes in circumstances, such as the Company generating taxable income, could cause a | ||
| change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax asset. Any change in the | ||
| valuation allowance will be included in income in the year of the change in estimate. | ||
| There are no tax positions included in the accompanying financial statements at September 30, | ||
| 2010 or December 31, 2009 for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which | ||
| there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. Because of the impact of deferred tax | ||
| accounting, other than interest and penalties, the disallowance of the shorter deductibility | ||
| period would not affect the annual effective tax rate but would accelerate the payment of cash | ||
| to the taxing authority to an earlier period. | ||
| As the Company has significant net operating loss carry forwards, even if certain of the | ||
| Companys tax positions were disallowed, it is not foreseen that the Company would have to | ||
| pay any taxes in the near future. Consequently, the Company does not calculate the impact of | ||
| interest or penalties on amounts that might be disallowed. | ||
| The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal and Utah jurisdictions. Tax years | ||
| 2008 to current remain open to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities. | ||
| From inception through September 30, 2010, the Company has incurred net losses and, | ||
| therefore, had no tax liability. The net deferred tax asset generated by the loss carryforward | ||
| has been fully reserved. The cumulative net operating loss carryforward is approximately $18.3 | ||
| million as of September 30, 2010, and will expire in the years 2026 through 2029. | ||
| Research and Development | ||
| Research and development of the Klever-Kart System began with the sole purpose of reducing | ||
| thefts of shopping carts. A voice-activated alarm system was envisioned. As time and | ||
| technology progressed, the present embodiment of the Klever-Kart System evolved into a | ||
| "product specific" point-of-purchase advertising system consisting of an easily readable | ||
| electronic display that attaches to any shopping cart, a shelf mounted message sending unit | ||
| that automatically sends featured products' ad-message to the display and a host computer |

| using proprietary software. The Company is currently developing mobile smart phone | ||
| technology that will provide similar functionality to the Klever-Kart System. | ||
| During the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company expended $96,894 | ||
| and $0, respectively, for research and development of the technology involved with its patents. | ||
| Fair Value of Financial Instruments | ||
| The Company has adopted ASC 820-10-50, Fair Value Measurements. This guidance defines | ||
| fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value | ||
| measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels | ||
| are defined as follows: Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices | ||
| (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 inputs to the valuation | ||
| methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs | ||
| that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full | ||
| term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and | ||
| significant to the fair measurement. | ||
| The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying balance sheets as of September 30, 2010 | ||
| and December 31, 2009 for cash and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and | ||
| are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the | ||
| origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of | ||
| interest. The carrying value of notes payable approximates fair value because negotiated terms | ||
| and conditions are consistent with current market rates as of September 30, 2010 and | ||
| December 31, 2009. | ||
| Deferred Stock Offering Costs | ||
| During 2009, the Company paid a non-refundable investment banking fee of $20,000 to an | ||
| investment banking firm to assist the Company in raising $2,500,000 in additional capital to | ||
| support its growth and working capital requirements. The amount was intended to be offset | ||
| against the proceeds received once the funds were raised. During the second quarter of 2010, | ||
| the Company terminated the agreement with the investment banking firm and has elected to try | ||
| and raise funds through a different source. Accordingly, the $20,000 deferred cost amount was | ||
| expensed during the quarter ended June 30, 2010. | ||
| NOTE 3 - | GOING CONCERN | |
| As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of | ||
| $308,253 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and, as of that date, the | ||
| Companys current and total liabilities exceeded its current and total assets by $1,033,960. | ||
| These factors, as well as the uncertain conditions that the Company faces relative to capital | ||
| raising activities, create substantial doubt as to the Companys ability to continue as a going | ||
| concern. The Company is seeking to raise additional capital through private placement | ||
| offerings and is targeting strategic partners in an effort to finalize the development of its | ||
| products and begin generating revenues. The ability of the Company to continue as a going | ||
| concern is dependent upon the success of capital offerings or alternative financing | ||
| arrangements and expansion of its operations. The accompanying financial statements do not | ||
| include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as | ||
| a going concern. |

| NOTE 3 - | GOING CONCERN (Continued) | |
| As of September 30, 2010, the Company had $4,374 of cash available on hand. The Company | ||
| will require additional funding during the next twelve months to finance the growth of its current | ||
| operations and achieve its strategic objectives. Management is actively pursuing additional | ||

| NOTE 6 - | STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS | |||
| The shareholders approved, by a majority vote, the adoption of the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan | ||||
| (the Plan). As amended on August 11, 2003, the Plan reserves 20,000,000 shares of | ||||
| common stock for issuance upon the exercise of options which may be granted from time-to- | ||||
| time to officers, directors and certain employees and consultants of the Company or its | ||||
| subsidiaries. The Plan permits the award of both qualified and non-qualified incentive stock | ||||
| options. On August 18, 2003, the Company registered its Amended Stock Incentive Plan of | ||||
| Klever Marketing, Inc. on Form S-8. | ||||
| Effective December 29, 2009, the Companys Board of Directors granted certain consultants | ||||
| options to purchase a total of 50,000 shares of common stock, exercisable at $0.25 per share, | ||||
| which expire on December 29, 2010. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock | ||||
| award at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model pursuant to ASC 718. | ||||
| The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the use of exercise behavior data and the use | ||||
| of a number of assumptions including volatility of the Companys stock price, the weighted | ||||
| average risk-free interest rate, and the weighted average expected life of the warrants. | ||||
| Because the Company did not pay any dividends during 2009 and 2010, the dividend rate | ||||
| variable in the Black-Scholes model is zero. | ||||
| On January 13, 2010, the Company entered into an investor relations agreement for a term of | ||||
| five (5) months commencing on January 15, 2010 and ending on June 15, 2010. In | ||||
| consideration for such services, the Company originally agreed to pay the investor relations | ||||
| firm $5,000 per month. In addition, the Company was to issue a total of 200,000 warrants to | ||||
| purchase shares of common stock at $0.30 per share, with an expiration date of two (2) years | ||||
| from the date of issuance. 100,000 of the warrants vested on February 1, 2010. The remaining | ||||
| 100,000 warrants were to be issued upon renewal of the agreement, if completed, on | ||||
| September 15, 2010, and were to vest on September 30, 2010. The warrants include a | ||||
| Cashless Exercise Provision, as well as Piggyback Registration Rights. The Company | ||||
| recorded an expense of $3,870 during the first quarter of 2010 based upon the valuation of the | ||||
| first 100,000 warrants that vested on February 1, 2010. After the second month and payment | ||||
| of $10,000, this agreement was cancelled, by mutual consent, as being too premature to | ||||
| continue at the present time. The second 100,000 warrants, therefore, were never issued. | ||||
| During 2010, the Company estimated the fair value of the warrants based on the following | ||||
| weighted average assumptions: | ||||
| Risk-free interest rate | 0.97% | |||
| Expected life | 2 years | |||
| Expected volatility | 352.41% | |||
| Dividend yield | 0.0% | |||

| Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations | |
| Forward Looking Statements | |
| This following information specifies certain forward-looking statements of management of the company. | |
| Forward-looking statements are statements that estimate the happening of future events and are not | |
| based on historical fact. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking | |
| terminology, such as may, shall, could, expect, estimate, anticipate, predict, probable, | |
| possible, should, continue, or similar terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those terms. | |
| The forward-looking statements specified in the following information have been compiled by our | |
| management on the basis of assumptions made by management and considered by management to be | |
| reasonable. Our future operating results, however, are impossible to predict and no representation, | |
| guaranty, or warranty is to be inferred from those forward-looking statements. | |
| The assumptions used for purposes of the forward-looking statements specified in the following | |
| information represent estimates of future events and are subject to uncertainty as to possible changes in | |
| economic, legislative, industry, and other circumstances. As a result, the identification and interpretation | |
| of data and other information and their use in developing and selecting assumptions from and among | |
| reasonable alternatives require the exercise of judgment. To the extent that the assumed events do not | |
| occur, the outcome may vary substantially from anticipated or projected results, and, accordingly, no | |
| opinion is expressed on the achievability of those forward-looking statements. We cannot guaranty that | |
| any of the assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements specified in the following information | |
| are accurate, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. | |
| We advise anyone relying upon this report that any statement of earnings by the company for the quarter | |
| ending September 30, 2010, have been obtained solely through the reduction, adjustment or termination | |
| of various debt obligations and does not in any way reflect revenues to the company. The company | |
| continues as a development stage company without revenues and with continuing substantial expenses, | |
| yielding a net loss from operations if considered apart from reduction of debt. The company continues to | |
| search for merger or acquisition candidates or possible entities to whom it may sell or license its | |
| intellectual property interests, but makes no warranty or assurance that it will be successful in any of | |
| these endeavors. Further, there is no assurance that the Company can continue to operate without cash | |
| flows or revenues and during the past year has relied exclusively upon interim capital financing for its | |
| continuation. | |
| Plan of Operation | |
| As discussed in the last quarterly report, the developments in mobile technology have moved ahead so | |
| rapidly that the Company has been able to accelerate its plans to move its technology to a mobile | |
| platform. Research on this change was conducted during the 2nd quarter of 2010 and a decision by the | |
| Board was made to move forward with developing this technology. During the 3rd quarter of 2010, the | |
| Company took the following steps to implement this new direction. | |
| First the Company CEO, Paul G. Begum, moved the Company headquarters to Los Angeles where it | |
| could be closer to the emerging mobile technology and the supermarket industry. Mr. Begum also moved | |
| to Los Angeles. | |
| Second, the Company hired Briabe Media, Inc., a mobile phone media and technology company located | |
| in Venice, California, to develop a requirements study for the Companys mobile phone application and | |
| backend database. Briabe was an excellent choice for this work due both to their high level of mobile | |
| technology and marketing expertise and as a small, flexible company who could work well with Klever. | |
| Briabe finished their requirements document in July, 2010. After Klever reviewed the final document, | |
| both parties confirmed the direction the Company was heading and this document became the basis for | |
| proceeding into implementation. |
| 17 |
| Third, Innovus, Inc. was engaged to help advance and calibrate the Companys vision and strategy. That | |
| effort not only provided proof of concept of the Briabe recommended direction, but helped to profoundly | |
| shift the Companys view of the market by revealing previously unseen opportunities. Further, it elevated | |
| the excitement and confidence that Klever Marketing is uniquely positioned to deliver a highly | |
| differentiated solution to the market. Innovus continues to be an integral part of the team and is working to | |
| ensure the rapid adoption of the Companys products and services by CPG companies and grocery | |
| retailers. | |
| Fourth, the Company hired Qualzoom, Inc. located in San Diego, California to develop its mobile phone | |
| application and backend database. Qualzoom, Inc. is a company with close ties to Qualcomm. | |
| Qualzoom is a very capable company for implementation of Klevers new technology products and to | |
| extend the capabilities of these products into the future to bring together the consumer, product | |
| manufacturer (CPGs) and retailers into one integrated database that the Company anticipates will be a | |
| long-term niche in Klevers future products. | |
| Completion of our Beta Test product remains on schedule for delivery by the end of 2010. We expect to | |
| test and roll out the technology during the half of 2011. The Company has been effective in executing its | |
| new product releases in the past, and is confident we will be able to repeat that with our mobile product, | |
| although there are no guarantees this timeline will be met. | |
| The new product line will combine the best features of our previous shopping cart technology with the | |
| new mobile, cloud computing and database technologies that could lead to fundamental changes in how | |
| impressions are made that entice customers to buy products. The Klever shopping experience begins | |
| with the creation of the shopping list. Whether they are items scanned in the home or items identified | |
| using an electronic shopping list template or through a downloaded recipe, the consumer can easily build | |
| a shopping list. We believe that the Klever system will make building a shopping list efficient and fun for | |
| the consumer while simultaneously creating the first touch point to learn their preference and needs. With | |
| the initial shopping list complete, the consumer will no longer need to wade through an ocean of coupons | |
| looking for the few they want. Instead, the coupons they want and need will come to them automatically. | |
| Additionally, CPG companies and retailers will have the opportunity to up sell their products and make a | |
| direct and targeted impression on the consumer which should significantly contribute to basket up lift. | |
| This not only will save the consumer valuable time, but the simplicity of this process which is a key | |
| differentiator for Klever Marketing, is expected to save the CPG companies and retailers time and money. | |
| Using GPS capabilities, consumers can identify, select and check into the grocery store of their choice. | |
| Once in the grocery store, the consumers mobile device will become an indispensable shopping tool. Key | |
| features that consumers with benefit from with the Klever system include receiving personalized | |
| messages and special offers, taking advantage of in-store services such as placing deli and | |
| pharmaceutical orders, and redeeming coupons at checkout. With a simple scan or on-line retrieval, the | |
| consumer will be able to receive important information about a product while being empowered to make | |
| informed buying decisions. All of these features will help make the consumer more efficient and effective | |
| during his shopping experience. | |
| Beyond the initial product release, plans are already being made to incorporate additional features and | |
| capabilities that promise to keep Klever Marketing in the vanguard of the shopping experience. Some of | |
| these include an intuitive and intelligent shopping list that learns what a consumer wants from their | |
| historic buying habits. Tell-a-Friend options that, through blogs and social networks such as Facebook, | |
| allows a consumer to share and receive recommendations and experiences. This form of viral marketing | |
| should prove to be an extremely valuable tool for CPG companies and grocery retailers to strengthen | |
| consumer loyalty and increase store sales. Also, integrating redemption and loyalty programs at checkout | |
| promises even more convenience for consumers in addition to generating tremendous savings. | |
| To this end, an investment banker, Torrey Hills Capital from Del Mar California, has been hired to secure | |
| additional capital and they have identified a potential lender. A term sheet has been executed to arrange | |
| financing within a one month period subject to completion of their due diligence. While there can be no | |
| guarantee this funding will be obtained, the Company has been working diligently to arrange this next | |
| level of funding, and we are optimistic this funding will be arranged. To continue to protect the | |
| Companys patent rights, our patent attorneys have filed for additional trademarks on our software. |

| During the third quarter of 2010, 1,860,000 new shares of the Companys common stock were issued | |
| consisting of 1,000,000 shares being issued to Torrey Hills Capital for their role in helping the Company | |
| find financing, 150,000 shares were issued to a former employee to settle a dispute and all outstanding | |
| obligations to that individual, 210,000 shares were issued to consultants and other service providers, and | |
| 500,000 were issued to an investor for $75,000 in cash. | |
| Anticipated Business Development in the Next 12 Months | |
| During the next twelve months, the Company will work diligently to complete its KleverSHOP, KleverNET | |
| and Klever MANAGEMENT development. Testing and rollout are on schedule for launch during the first | |
| half of 2011. Beginning in the 4th quarter 2010 the Company will also be implementing its comprehensive | |
| marketing plan to bring this new opportunity to the attention of consumers, CPGs and retailers through a | |
| number of medias some traditional and many on the new wave of market penetration in the mobile era. | |
| During the launch period, the Company plans to add staff to transition to full operations in preparation for | |
| our Phase 2 development. No assurance or warranty can be given that the Company will be successful | |
| in these endeavors. | |
| Results of Operations - For the three months ending September 30, 2010, the Company had a net loss | |
| of $177,784 versus a loss of $187,502 for the comparable period in 2009. The reduced loss was due | |
| primarily to lower costs for salaries and travel coupled with lower consulting costs. | |
| For the nine months ending September 30, 2010, the Company had a net loss of $308,253 as compared | |
| to a net loss of $399,993 for the nine months ended September 30, 3009. The decreased loss was due | |
| primarily due to less general and administrative payroll costs as the Company replaced and down sized | |
| its management team during 2009. | |
| Liquidity and Capital Resources - The Company requires working capital principally to fund its | |
| proposed research and development and operating expenses for which the Company has relied primarily | |
| on short-term borrowings and the issuance of restricted common stock. There are no formal | |
| commitments from banks or other lending sources for lines of credit or similar short-term borrowings, but | |
| the Company has been able to raise minimal additional working capital that has been required to keep the | |
| Company moving forward. From time to time, required short-term borrowings have been obtained from a | |
| principal shareholder or other related entities to obtain working capital through the issuance of restricted | |
| common stock in order to fund operations in accordance with the Companys revised business plan. | |
| Cash flows. Operating activities used cash of approximately $102,117 and $321,822 for the nine months | |
| ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The improvement in cash flow was due primarily to | |
| reduced salaries and overhead costs. | |
| The Company did not engage in any investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, | |
| 2010 and 2009, respectively. | |
| Financing activities provided cash of approximately $85,450 and $328,577 for the nine months ended | |
| September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Financing activities are comprised of sales of the | |
| Companys restricted stock, and additional borrowings. Cash flows from stock issuance activity totaled | |
| $64,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 compared to $349,000 for the same period in the | |
| prior year. The down turn in the economy has made raising capital more difficult. At the present time the | |
| Company has no bank line of credit or other assured sources of capital, but has entered into the best | |
| efforts funding commitments described above. The Company continues to explore merger, acquisition or | |
| other related business development activities with various parties. |

| Factors That May Affect Future Results - Managements Discussion and Analysis contains information | |||
| based on managements beliefs and forward-looking statements that involved a number of risks, | |||
| uncertainties, and assumptions. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially for | |||
| the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to the following: | |||
| 1. | The company may not obtain adequate funding to fully develop and implement its mobile phone | ||
| application | |||
| 2. | The company may not achieve the forecasted revenue growth from sales to CPGs and retailers | ||
| 3. | The company may face unforeseen competition from other mobile companies. | ||
| The foregoing statements are based upon managements current assumptions. | |||
| Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We have no off-balance sheet arrangements. | |||
| Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk | |||
| Not applicable. | |||
| Item 4. Controls and Procedures | |||
| Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures | |||
| During the fiscal period covered in this report, management has conducted an evaluation of the | |||
| effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule, | |||
| 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer | |||
| and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective | |||
| as of September 30, 2010 due to material weaknesses. | |||
| Managements assessment identified the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial | |||
| reporting: | |||
| | The small size of our Company limits our ability to achieve the desired level of segregation of | ||
| duties within our internal controls and financial reporting. We do have a separate CEO and CFO, | |||
| plus an Audit Committee to review and oversee the financial policies and procedures of the | |||
| Company, which helps us achieve some segregation of duties. However, until such time as the | |||
| Company is able to hire additional financial personnel, we do not meet the optimum segregation | |||
| of duties desired. In the interim, we will continue to strengthen the role of our Audit Committee | |||
| and their review of our internal control procedures. | |||
| | We have not achieved the desired level of documentation of our internal controls and procedures. | ||
| This documentation will be strengthened to limit the possibility of any lapse in controls occurring. | |||
| In light of the material weaknesses described above, we performed additional analysis and other post- | |||
| closing procedures to ensure our financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally | |||
| accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements included in this | |||
| report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows | |||
| for the periods presented. | |||
| Management intends to further remediate the material weaknesses going forward by utilizing external | |||
| financial consulting services in a more effective manner. Prior to the review by our principal independent | |||
| accounting firm, management, with the help of outside consultants, will review the Companys financial | |||
| information to ensure that all information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or | |||
| submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately and within | |||
| the time periods specified in the Commissions rule and forms. | |||
| 20 |
| The Company plans to engage an outside consulting firm to assist them with implementing a SOX | |
| compliance program. In addition, we intend to engage a CFO at a future date who will help with our | |
| segregation of duties and internal control issues going forward. | |
| Since the recited remedial actions will require that we hire or engage additional personnel, these material | |
| weaknesses may not be overcome in the near term due to our limited financial resources. Until such | |
| remedial actions can be realized, we will continue to rely on the advice of outside Professionals and | |
| Consultants. | |
| Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting | |
| There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13(a)15(f) and | |
| 15(d)15(f) under the Exchange Act that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that | |
| have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial | |
| reporting. | |
