NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
March 31, 2005 and 2004

1.         Basis of Presentation

  The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The accompanying financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005.

  Stock Based Compensation

  The Company applies Accounting Principles Board, Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations in accounting for stock plans. Accordingly, compensation expense has been recognized for restricted stock granted to employees, as discussed in Note 4, but has not been recognized for employee stock options other than the intrinsic value of options when the exercise price of the options was below their fair value on the date of grant. In September 2003 the Company issued stock options to employees at $1.77 per share when the fair value of the stock was $2.20 per share. In the first quarters of 2005 and 2004 the Company recognized compensation expense of $41,298 and $42,866, respectively, in connection with the employee stock options granted in September 2003. Had compensation cost been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for stock options under SFAS No. 123, Accounting and Disclosure of Stock-Based Compensation, the net loss applicable to common shares and loss per common share would have increased to the pro-forma amounts shown below:
