(3) Based upon information obtained from representatives of HT Ardinger.
(iii) We have been advised by Steven Moskowitz that the Mindy Moskowitz

advised us that the 400 shares were acquired in the open market by the Moskowitz
Trust at least six months prior to his affiliation with Azurel, Ltd. The correct
ownership for the trust should have been reflected as 1,134,400 in Azurel's

To the best of the Company's knowledge, there were no other transactions
which resulted in any change in the ownership of officers and directors and

31, 2002 that was filed with the SEC on September 29, 2003.

has confirmed that such shares were acquired by Network I Financial Securities
subsequent to the filing of Azurel's 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2002. William Hunt and Richard Hunt are the control persons of the shares
held by Network 1 Financial Securities.
Finally, we have attached a revised schedule which updates the schedule
that was previously submitted to you on October 8, 2005. Please note that the
information contained in the October 8, 2005 schedule was incomplete and
inaccurate due to the fact that it was based upon the only copies of transfer
3
<PAGE>
agent records that were available and provided to us by the Company at that
time. The Company has since been able to obtain more complete and current
information from Azurel's transfer agent that is now reflected in the revised
schedule. We apologize for any confusion that the information set forth on the
prior schedule may have caused.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Richard Friedman
