EXPLANATORY NOTE
     This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB/A is being filed as Amendment No. 2 to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 15, 2007. We are filing this form 10-QSB/A to amend our prior disclosure with respect to management’s conclusion as to the effectiveness of our disclosure controls.
     This Form 10-QSB/A amends and restates only certain information in the following sections as a result of the revised disclosure described above:
     Part I—Item 3. Controls and Procedures
     In addition, we are also including currently dated Sarbanes Oxley Act Section 302 and Section 906 certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer that are attached to this Form 10-QSB/A as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2.

PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
     On May 4, 2007, Burr, Pilger & Mayer LLP, the independent audit firm retained to audit the 2005 and 2006 financial statements for our wholly-owned subsidiary and principal operating company, VirnetX, Inc., sent a letter to the VirnetX board identifying several significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in our internal controls noted in connection with its audit.
     The material weaknesses identified were as follows:
    Segregation of Duties – the Company’s small size and few employees resulted in a situation where the same individuals were responsible for multiple steps in the major transaction cycles such as cash receipts, cash disbursements and payroll.
 
    Technical Accounting Function – the Company’s internal accounting staff didn’t have the public company experience necessary for more complicated accounting issues such as accounting for stock compensation expense under FAS 123R.
     The significant deficiencies identified were as follows:
    The need for additional documentation policies and procedures
 
    The need for additional information technology (IT) organizational controls
 
    The need for more security with respect to access to financial software applications
     Burr, Pilger & Mayer LLP resigned on October 26, 2007 as the auditor for our wholly-owned subsidiary. The reason for the resignation was concern that we would not become compliant with the internal controls requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act by December 31, 2007 and due to an insufficient quantity of experienced resources involved with the financial reporting and period closing process. Following the resignation of Burr, Pilger & Mayer LLP, we promptly retained an implementation consultant recommended by our independent audit firm, Farber Hass Hurley & McEwen LLP, to institute the necessary controls and procedures in order to become compliant with Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act by December 31, 2007. We have committed significant financial and personnel resources to achieve this goal as well as to address any weaknesses in our financial reporting and period closing process. Accordingly, although we are not currently compliant with these internal control requirements, we and our implementation consultant are committed to becoming compliant by December 31, 2007 and to maintaining our compliance thereafter.
     In addition to the implementation consultant we hired to generally help us become compliant with Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act, since the date of Burr Pilger & Mayer LLP’s letter identifying material weaknesses in our internal controls, we hired a new Chief Financial Officer with significant public company experience, as well as a new bookkeeper to operate and maintain our basic accounting programs. We have begun to segregate responsibility for major transaction cycles to address the material weakness concerning segregation of duties described

above. In addition, we contracted with a consultant with significant expertise in equity accounting issues to analyze and review our equity transactions on a continuing basis.
     Under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In light of the material weaknesses and significant deficiencies in internal controls described above, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period ending September 30, 2007. Disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. See discussion in Item 2 of Part 1 of this Report on Form 10-QSB under the heading “In connection with an audit that was conducted of VirnetX in connection with the merger, VirnetX’s independent auditors identified material weaknesses in VirnetX’s internal controls over financial reporting.”
