During the six months ended Dec. 31, 2003 the company moved forward with the restructuring of its marketing program for its patented self-filling water coolers. A component of this program includes the cooler advertising program through its Aquacell Media subsidiary whereby the company has started shipping and installing coolers in drug stores and health care facilities. Aquacell Media will retain ownership of these coolers and is selling advertising on the cooler's bottle band for health related and/or personal care items. The period ended December 2003 represented the first period during which the company has had the ability to restructure its marketing plan and form new sales and marketing alliances.
