(1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this
notification
Francis Chang (805) 480-1994
------------------ --------------- ----------------------
(Name) (Area Code) (Telephone Number)
(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 answer is no, identify report(s). Yes [ ] No [ ]
We were not required to file reports pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act during the past 12 months because (i)
our registered common stock was registered under the Securities Act
during such period and was not registered under the Exchange Act, (ii)
we did not have any registration statement that became effective
during such period and (iii) we had less than 300 shareholders of
record throughout such period. Although we were not required to do so,
we voluntarily filed such reports with the Securities and Exchange
Commission during such period. On March 24, 2006 we filed a
registration statement on Form 10-SB to register our common stock
pursuant to the Exchange Act, which we subsequently withdrew pursuant
to the request of the Securities and Exchange Commission until our
registration statement on Form SB-2, for which an amendment was last
filed on May 1, 2006, is declared effective. Once our registration
statement on Form SB-2 is declared effective, we plan to file another
registration statement on Form 10-SB to register our common stock
pursuant to the Exchange Act. Once our registration statement on Form
10-SB is effective, we will be subject to the filing requirements of
the Securities Exchange Act.
(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations
from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be
reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject
report or portion thereof? Yes [ ] No [X]
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.
