Directors, executive officers and greater than 10% shareholders are required to furnish the Company with copies of all 16(a) reports they file with the Commission. Based solely upon its review of the forms required to be filed with the Commission by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, as amended, that have been received by the Company, the Company believes there has been compliance with all filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and beneficial owners of greater than 10% of the Company Common Stock.

The Companys business affairs are managed under the direction of the Company Board of Director members who are also currently executive officers.

The Company Board of Directors held no meetings and acted by unanimous written consent once during the Companys fiscal year ended October 31, 2005.
Stockholder Communication with the Board of Directors and Director Attendance at Annual Meetings
The Board of Directors will not adopt a procedure for stockholders to send communications to the Board of Directors until it has considered and reviewed the merits of several possible alternative communications procedures.
