In fiscal 1996 as compared to fiscal 1995, the Company's revenue increased substantially and the Company will report net income for fiscal 1996 as compared to a net loss for fiscal 1995. Additionally, the Company's financial statements to be contained in the 1996 10-KSB will have been prepared on an "operating company" basis. Financial statements contained in the 1995 10-KSB were prepared on a "development stage company" basis. The general trend of improvement in revenue is reflected in prior 10Q's. The audit for the year is not complete at this time and accordingly the Company does not know the exact amounts of its revenue and net income for fiscal 1996.
