(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed?

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.

Although the anticipated change in the net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2008 was $427,000 as compared to an income of $165,000 in the same period last fiscal year, as noted above, management is still in the process of reviewing the quarterly results. The anticipated increase in net loss was primarily due to a decrease in sales and impairment of assets in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009.
