PART IV
ITEM - 3
The Company's net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
increased approximately 404% from the net loss for the same period of 1999,
reflecting the expenses attributable to the Company's establishment of an
infrastructure to execute its business strategy. The expenses specifically
resulted from the Company's investment in additional personnel including
technical, administrative, marketing, merchandising and operational employees
as well as expenditures for advertising to promote the Company's products and
services.
