rights
convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock. The
issue and
sale of the Securities will not obligate the Company to issue
shares of
Common Stock or other securities to any Person (other than the

securities to
adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under
such
securities. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of
the Company
are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, have been
issued in

the Company or others is required for the issuance and sale of
the shares
of Preferred Stock other than Shareholder Approval to comply
with rules of
the American Stock Exchange. There are no stockholders

in
material compliance with all provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002
which are applicable to it as of the Closing Date. The Company
and the

or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as
necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with
GAAP and to
maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is
permitted only in
accordance with management's general or specific authorization,
and (iv)

disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
13a-15(e) and

and
procedures to ensure that material information relating to the
Company,
including its Subsidiaries (other than Lifestyle Innovations,
Inc.), is
made known to the certifying officers by others within those
entities,
particularly during the period in which the Company's most
recently filed
periodic report under the Exchange Act, as the case may be, is
being
prepared. The Company's certifying officers have evaluated
the
effectiveness of the Company's controls and procedures as of the
date
prior to the filing date of the most recently filed periodic
report under
the Exchange Act (such date, the "Evaluation Date"). The Company
presented
in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange
Act the
conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness
of the
disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as

Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no
significant
changes in the Company's internal controls (as such term is
defined in
Item 307(b) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act) or, to the
Company's
knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the
Company's
internal controls.
