Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial information.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 have been included.  Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2010 ("2010 Form 10-K/A").  Information included in the condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 has been derived from the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 included in the 2010 Form 10-K/A.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  These estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future.  Actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates.  These estimates are reviewed periodically and as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become available.
