If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
     
 
For the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Registrant earned net income of approximately $1,900,000 as compared to a loss of $2,510 in the same period for the preceding year. The reason for the substantial difference between the loss from operations and the net income is the result of adjustments to the value of warrants granted to private placement investors that do not affect the Registrant’s cash flow but are required to be reflected in its statement of operations as other income or expense. The Registrant’s loss from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was approximately $1,400,000 as compared to $2,416 for the same period in the preceding year. The increase in the loss from operations is the result of the Registrant’s commencement of activities in sales and marketing for its principal line of business which it did not have in the preceding year, as well as granting equity-based compensation to its employees, officers and directors.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Registrant incurred a net loss of approximately $3,800,000 as compared to a loss for the same period of the preceding year of $15,562. The increase in the loss is the result of the Registrant’s commencement of activities in sales and marketing for its principal line of business which it did not have in the preceding year, as well as granting equity-based compensation to employees, officers and directors.
