Note 10 - STOCK COMPENSATION
As of March 31, 2005, the
Company has outstanding options to purchase 15,252,688 shares. The Company
issued all outstanding options at or above fair market value, or has previously
expensed those options repriced below fair market value.
Note 11 -
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
[a] Royalty payments:
The
Company, in accordance with a royalty agreement,
is obligated to make minimum annual royalty payments of $125,000 to
a corporation which commented on January 1, 2001. Under this agreement, the
Company must pay to the corporation a certain percentage of net sales of
certain products, which percentages are defined in the agreement.
The percentages are on a sliding scale depending on the amount of sales
generated. Any minimum royalties paid will be credited against the amounts
due based on the percentage of sales. The royalty agreement terminates
upon the expiration of the last-to-expire issued patent.
In April
2005, the Company paid $125,000 for the minimum amount due for 2005. The
amount was recorded in prepaid expenses and will be mortized as the
Company records the royalty expense as defined in the agreement.
Royalty
expense was $22,556 and $22,855, respectively, for the three months ended March
31, 2005 and 2004.
[b] Contractual obligations:
The Company
leases certain office facilities and office,
lab and factory equipment under operating leases expiring through
2009. Certain leases provide for payments of monthly operating expenses.
The approximate future minimum lease payments for 2005 are as follows:
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles 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 as
well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates and
assumptions relate to recording net revenue, collectibility of accounts
receivable, useful lives and impairment of tangible and intangible assets,
accruals, income taxes, inventory realization and other factors. Management has
exercised reasonable judgment in deriving these estimates. Consequently, a
change in conditions could affect these estimates.
Fair value of
financial instruments
The Company's cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable and
accounts payable are earned at cost which appropriates fair value due to the
short-term nature of these instruments.
Results of
Operations
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2005 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS
ENDED MARCH 31, 2004
Revenues
Revenues for the three
months ended March 31, 2005 were $0.7
million, a 28% increase as compared to $0.5 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2004. The increase was attributable to increased unit
shipments of our microdisplays. Average selling price per unit decreased
to $332 from $434 as compared to the first quarter of 2004. This was due to
quantity discounts.
Cost of
Goods Sold
Cost of
goods sold includes direct and indirect costs
associated with production. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended
March 31, 2005 was $2.0 million, as compared to $1.4
million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. Gross loss
for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was ($1.3) million,
as compared to ($0.8) million for the three months ended March
31, 2004. This translates to a Gross Margin of (183%) and (152%) for the three
months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
We currently record
all expenses associated with manufacturing in Cost of Goods Sold. The full
facility over head as well as the expense of non-capitalized raw materials
is matched against our units sold. While our production volume is low, the
Gross Margin reflects the costs that will
be shared when quantities increase.
The increased costs
of goods sold is directly attributable to our preparation for increased
production volumes. Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2005
reflect two full shifts of production and a partial third
shift. Expenses for the three months ended March
31, 2004 represented staff required to run a single shift at relatively low
throughput. During the first quarter of 2005 we redesigned our processes
to support what we believe will be increased throughput of between 10 - 30 times
year ago levels. While these changes were being implemented, the majority
of overhead and staff cost was directly expensed to cost of goods
sold.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development. Research
and development expenses included salaries, development materials and
other costs specifically allocated to the development of new
products. Gross research and development expenses for the
three months ended March 31, 2005 was $0.9 million, as compared to $8
thousand for the three months ended March 31,
2004. During the second half of 2004 we initiated two new design projects
that are projected to yield future microdisplay products. To accommodate
these efforts our costs for the three months ended March 31, 2005 reflect
expanded staff size and outsourced design services as compared to the three
months ended March 31, 2004.
Non-cash Stock
Based Compensation. Non-cash expenses related to
stock-based compensation amortization for the three
months ended March 31, 2005 was $0 as compared to $84 thousand
for the three months ending March 31, 2004. Non-cash stock-based
compensation costs are the result of amortization of the intrinsic
value ascribed for the issuance of stock options at below fair
market values. The amortization is done over the vesting period of such options
and was fully expensed during 2004.
Selling, General and Administrative.
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist principally of
salaries and fees for professional services, legal fees
incurred in connection with patent filings and
related matters, as well as other marketing and administrative
expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses, for
the three months ended March 31, 2005 were $1.3 million, as compared to
$0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The
$0.7 million increase was primarily due to an increase in
staff and personnel costs. Company headcount increased from 37 on March
31, 2004 to 79 on March 31, 2005.
Interest Income (expense).
Interest income (expense) for the three months ending March 31, 2005 was $18
thousand as compared to ($5.1) million for the three
months ended March 31, 2004. The ($5.1) million decrease in
interest expense for the three months ended March 31,
2005 was attributable to three factors recorded in 2004; (1) $3.18 million of
non-cash charges related to the value of the warrants issued to induce
the holders of the $7.825 million in Notes to agree to an
early conversion of the Notes into common stock,
(2) $1,598,325 in non-cash charges related to
the remaining unamortized debt discount and
beneficial conversion feature associated with the aforementioned
Notes, and (3) $74,637 in non-cash charges related to
the write-off of the remaining unamortized deferred financing costs.

We currently anticipate that we will experience a
significant increase in sales if we are successful in fulfilling product
shipments to clients reflected in our backlog and if our new products meet with
commercial success. As a result we anticipate that working capital to
facilitate higher accounts receivable and inventories will be our most
significant use of cash in 2005. We anticipate that we will
continue to experience moderate growth in our operating
expenses for the foreseeable future as well and that our
operating expenses will be one of the principal uses of our cash. In
particular, we expect that salaries for employees engaged in
production operations, purchase of inventory and expenses of
increased sales and marketing efforts should also be a
principle uses of cash. We expect that our cash requirements over the next
12 months will be met by a combination of cash on hand,
additional financing, exercising of outstanding
options and warrants, and revenues generated by operations.
We have received purchase agreements for
approximately $28 million for our products to be delivered now
through early 2007.
Scheduled deliveries
against our purchase agreements and other
customer requirements are subject to change depending on a number of
factors including, our production capacity, our
customers' production timing of related systems into which they are
integrating our products and their other supplier schedules, changes in
the expected procurement periods for
military programs and the requirements of the
individual agreements and contracts that we have with our customers.
We currently are undergoing a ramp up in our supplies and
staffing in order to be prepared to meet the
currently anticipated shipping schedules, which we anticipate will require
significant added effort.
Our longer term cash requirements
depend on numerous factors, including completion of our product
development activities, ability to continue to commercialize our
products, timely market acceptance of our products
and our customers' products, and other factors. We
expect to carefully devote capital resources
to continue these efforts.
Factors
Which May Affect Future Results
In evaluating our
business, prospective investors and shareholders
should carefully consider the risks factors, any of which could have a material
adverse impact on our business, operating results and financial condition
and result in a complete loss of your investment.
Risks Related To Our
Financial Results
WE HAVE A HISTORY OF LOSSES SINCE OUR INCEPTION AND MAY
INCUR LOSSES FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
Accumulated losses excluding
non-cash transactions as of March 31, 2005, were $51 million and
acquisition related non-cash transactions were $102 million, which resulted in
an accumulated deficit of $153 million, the majority of which was related
to the March 2000 merger and the subsequent write-down of our goodwill. The
non-cash losses were dominated by the amortization and write-down of goodwill
and purchased intangibles and write-down of acquired in process research and
development related to the March 2000 acquisition, and also included some
non-cash stock-based compensation. We have not yet achieved profitability and we
can give no assurances that we will achieve profitability within the foreseeable
future as we fund operating and capital expenditures in areas such as
establishment and expansion of markets, sales and marketing, operating equipment
and research and development. We cannot assure investors that we will ever
achieve or sustain profitability or that our operating losses will not increase
in the future.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXECUTE OUR BUSINESS PLAN AND MAY
NOT GENERATE CASH FROM OPERATIONS
In the event that cash flow from
operations is less than anticipated and we are unable to secure additional
funding to cover our expenses, in order to preserve cash, we would be required
to reduce expenditures and effect reductions in our corporate infrastructure,
either of which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue
our current level of operations. To the extent that operating expenses increase
or we need additional funds to make acquisitions, develop new technologies or
acquire strategic assets, the need for additional funding may be accelerated and
there can be no assurances that any such additional funding can be obtained on
terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we were not able to generate sufficient
capital, either from operations or through additional debt or equity financing,
to fund our current operations, we would be forced to significantly reduce or
delay our plans for continued research and development and expansion. This could
significantly reduce the value of our securities.
RISKS RELATED TO
MANUFACTURING
THE MANUFACTURE OF OLED-ON-SILICON IS NEW AND OLED
MICRODISPLAYS HAVE NOT BEEN PRODUCED IN SIGNIFICANT QUANTITIES.
If we are
unable to produce our products in sufficient quantity, we will be unable to meet
our customers time requirements and would have difficulties in attracting new
customers. In addition, we cannot assure you that once we commence volume
production we will attain yields at high throughput that will result in
profitable gross margins or that we will not experience manufacturing problems
which could result in delays in delivery of orders or product
introductions.
WE ARE DEPENDENT ON A SINGLE MANUFACTURING LINE.
We
initially expect to manufacture our products on a single manufacturing line. If
we experience any significant disruption in the operation of our manufacturing
facility or a serious failure of a critical piece of equipment, we may be unable
to supply microdisplays to our customers. For this reason, some OEMs may also be
reluctant to commit a broad line of products to our microdisplays without a
second production facility in place. Interruptions in our manufacturing could be
caused by manufacturing equipment problems, the introduction of new equipment
into the manufacturing process or delays in the delivery of new manufacturing
equipment. Lead-time for delivery of manufacturing equipment can be extensive.
No assurance can be given that we will not lose potential sales or be unable to
meet production orders due to production interruptions in our manufacturing
line. In order to meet the requirements of certain OEMs for multiple
manufacturing sites, we will have to expend capital to secure additional sites
and may not be able to manage multiple sites successfully.
WE EXPECT TO
DEPEND ON SEMICONDUCTOR CONTRACT MANUFACTURERS TO SUPPLY OUR SILICON INTEGRATED
CIRCUITS AND OTHER SUPPLIERS OF KEY COMPONENTS, MATERIALS AND
SERVICES.
We do not manufacture the silicon integrated circuits on which
we incorporate our OLED technology. Instead, we expect to provide the design
layouts to semiconductor contract manufacturers who will manufacture the
integrated circuits on silicon wafers. We also expect to depend on suppliers of
a variety of other components and services, including circuit boards, graphic
integrated circuits, passive components, materials and chemicals, and equipment
support. Our inability to obtain sufficient quantities of high quality silicon
integrated circuits or other necessary components, materials or services on a
timely basis could result in manufacturing delays, increased costs and
ultimately in reduced or delayed sales or lost orders which could materially and
adversely affect our operating results.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY
We rely on our license agreement with Eastman Kodak for the
development of our products, and the termination of this license, Eastman
Kodak's licensing of its OLED technology to others for microdisplay
applications, or the sublicensing by Eastman Kodak of our OLED technology to
third parties, could have a material adverse impact on our
business.
Our
principal products under development utilize OLED technology that we license
from Eastman Kodak. We rely upon Eastman Kodak to protect and enforce key
patents held by them, relating to OLED display technology. Eastman Kodak's
patents expire at various times in the future. Our license with Eastman Kodak
could terminate if we fail to perform any material term or covenant under the
license agreement. Since our license from Eastman Kodak is non-exclusive,
Eastman Kodak could also elect to become a competitor itself or to license OLED
technology for microdisplay applications to others who have the potential to
compete with us. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material
adverse impact on our business.
WE MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL IN PROTECTING
OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS.
We rely on a
combination of patents, trade secret protection, licensing agreements and other
arrangements to establish and protect our proprietary technologies. If we fail
to successfully enforce our intellectual property rights, our competitive
position could suffer, which could harm our operating results. Patents may not
be issued for our current patent applications, third parties may challenge,
invalidate or circumvent any patent issued to us, unauthorized parties could
obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary despite our efforts to
protect our proprietary rights, rights granted under patents issued to us may
not afford us any competitive advantage, others may independently develop
similar technology or design around our patents, our technology may be available
to licensees of Eastman Kodak, and protection of our intellectual property
rights may be limited in certain foreign countries. We may be required to expend
significant resources to monitor and police our intellectual property rights.
Any future infringement or other claims or prosecutions related to our
intellectual property could have a material adverse effect on our business. Any
such claims, with or without merit, could be time consuming to defend, result in
costly litigation, divert management's attention and resources, or require us to
enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Such royalty or licensing
agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at
all. Protection of intellectual property has historically been a large yearly
expense for eMagin. We have not been in a financial position to properly protect
all of our intellectual property, and may not be in a position to properly
protect our position or stay ahead of competition in new research and the
protecting of the resulting intellectual property.
RISKS RELATED TO THE
MICRODISPLAY INDUSTRY
THE COMMERCIAL SUCCESS OF THE MICRODISPLAY INDUSTRY
DEPENDS ON THE WIDESPREAD MARKET ACCEPTANCE OF MICRODISPLAY SYSTEMS
PRODUCTS.
The market for microdisplays is emerging. Our success will
depend on consumer acceptance of microdisplays as well as the success of the
commercialization of the microdisplay market. As an OEM supplier, our customer's
products must also be well accepted. At present, it is difficult to assess or
predict with any assurance the potential size, timing and viability of market
opportunities for our technology in this market. The viewfinder microdisplay
market sector is well established with entrenched competitors with whom we must
compete.
THE
MICRODISPLAY SYSTEMS BUSINESS IS INTENSELY COMPETITIVE.
We do business in
intensely competitive markets that are characterized by rapid technological
change, changes in market requirements and competition from both other suppliers
and our potential OEM customers. Such markets are typically characterized by
price erosion. This intense competition could result in pricing pressures, lower
sales, reduced margins, and lower market share. Our ability to compete
successfully will depend on a number of factors, both within and outside our
control. We expect these factors to include the following:
|
· |
our
success in designing, manufacturing and delivering expected new products,
including those implementing new technologies on a timely
basis; |
|
· |
our
ability to address the needs of our customers and the quality of our
customer services; |
|
· |
the
quality, performance, reliability, features, ease of use and pricing of
our products; |
|
· |
successful
expansion of our manufacturing
capabilities; |
|
· |
our
efficiency of production, and ability to manufacture and ship products on
time; |
|
· |
the
rate at which original equipment manufacturing customers incorporate our
product solutions into their own
products; |
|
· |
the
market acceptance of our customers' products;
and |
|
· |
product
or technology introductions by our
competitors. |
Our competitive position could be damaged if one or more
potential OEM customers decide to manufacture their own microdisplays, using
OLED or alternate technologies. In addition, our customers may be reluctant to
rely on a relatively small company such as eMagin for a critical component. We
cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully against current
and future competition, and the failure to do so would have a materially adverse
effect upon our business, operating results and financial condition.
The
display industry is cyclical.
The display industry is
characterized by fabrication facilities that
require large capital expenditures and long lead times
for supplies and the subsequent processing time, leading to
frequent mismatches between supply and demand. The OLED microdisplay
sector may experience overcapacity if and when all of the facilities
presently in the planning stage come on line leading to a
difficult market in which to sell our products.
Competing products may
get to market sooner than ours.
Our competitors
are investing substantial resources in
the development and manufacture of microdisplay systems
using alternative technologies such as reflective liquid
crystal displays (LCDs), LCD-on-Silicon ("LCOS")
microdisplays, active matrix electroluminescence and scanning image systems, and
transmissive active matrix LCDs.
Our competitors have many advantages
over us.
As the microdisplay market develops,
we expect to experience intense competition
from numerous domestic and
foreign companies including well-established
corporations possessing worldwide manufacturing and production facilities,
greater name recognition, larger retail bases and
significantly greater financial, technical, and marketing resources
than us, as well as from emerging companies attempting to obtain a share
of the various markets in which our microdisplay products have the potential to
compete.
Our
products are subject to lengthy OEM development periods.
We plan
to sell most of our microdisplays and related products to OEMs who will
incorporate them into or with products they sell. OEMs determine during their
product development phase whether they will incorporate our products. The time
elapsed between initial sampling of our products by OEMs, the custom design of
our products to meet specific OEM product requirements, and the ultimate
incorporation of our products into OEM consumer products is significant. If our
products fail to meet our OEM customers' cost, performance or technical
requirements or if unexpected technical challenges arise in the integration of
our products into OEM consumer products, our operating results could be
significantly and adversely affected. Long delays in achieving customer
qualification and incorporation of our products could adversely affect our
business.
Our
products will likely experience rapidly declining unit prices.
In the
markets in which we expect to compete, prices of established products tend to
decline significantly over time. In order to maintain our profit margins over
the long term, we anticipate that we will need to continuously develop
product enhancements and new technologies that will either slow price declines
of our products or reduce the cost of producing and delivering our products.
While we anticipate many opportunities to reduce production costs over time,
there can be no assurance that these cost reduction plans will be time, there
can be no assurance that these cost reduction plans will be successful. We may
also attempt to offset the anticipated decrease in our average selling price by
introducing new products, increasing our sales volumes or adjusting our product
mix. If we fail to do so, our results of operations would be materially and
adversely affected.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
OUR
SUCCESS DEPENDS ON ATTRACTING AND RETAINING HIGHLY SKILLED AND QUALIFIED
TECHNICAL AND CONSULTING PERSONNEL.
We must
hire highly skilled technical personnel as employees and as independent
contractors in order to develop our products. The competition for skilled
technical employees is intense and we may not be able to retain or recruit such
personnel. We must compete with companies that possess greater financial and
other resources than we do, and that may be more attractive to potential
employees and contractors. To be competitive, we may have to increase the
compensation, bonuses, stock options and other fringe benefits offered to
employees in order to attract and retain such personnel. The costs of retaining
or attracting new personnel may have a materially adverse affect on our business
and our operating results. In addition, difficulties in hiring and retaining
technical personnel could delay the implementation of our business
plan.
OUR
SUCCESS DEPENDS IN A LARGE PART ON THE CONTINUING SERVICE OF KEY
PERSONNEL.
Changes
in management could have an adverse effect on our business. We are dependent
upon the active participation of several key management personnel, including
Gary W. Jones, our chief executive officer. We will also need to recruit
additional management in order to expand according to our business plan. The
failure to attract and retain additional management or personnel could have a
material adverse effect on our operating results and financial
performance.
OUR
BUSINESS DEPENDS ON NEW PRODUCTS AND TECHNOLOGIES.
The
market for our products is characterized by rapid changes in product, design and
manufacturing process technologies. Our success depends to a large extent on our
ability to develop and manufacture new products and technologies to match the
varying requirements of different customers in order to establish a competitive
position and become profitable. Furthermore, we must adopt our products and
processes to technological changes and emerging industry standards and practices
on a cost-effective and timely basis. Our failure to accomplish any of the above
could harm our business and operating results.
WE
GENERALLY DO NOT HAVE LONG-TERM CONTRACTS WITH OUR CUSTOMERS.
Our
business is operated on the basis of short-term purchase orders and we cannot
guarantee that we will be able to obtain long-term contracts for some time. Our
current purchase agreements can be cancelled or revised without penalty,
depending on the circumstances. In the absence of a backlog of orders that can
only be canceled with penalty, we plan production on the basis of internally
generated forecasts of demand, which makes it difficult to accurately forecast
revenues. If we fail to accurately forecast operating results, our business may
suffer and the value of your investment in the Company may decline.
OUR
BUSINESS STRATEGY MAY FAIL IF WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO FORM STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS
WITH COMPANIES THAT MANUFACTURE AND USE PRODUCTS THAT COULD INCORPORATE OUR
OLED-ON-SILICON TECHNOLOGY.
Our prospects will be significantly affected
by our ability to develop strategic alliances with OEMs for incorporation of our
OLED-on-silicon technology into their products. While we intend to continue to
establish strategic relationships with manufacturers of electronic consumer
products, personal computers, chipmakers, lens makers, equipment makers,
material suppliers and/or systems assemblers, there is no assurance that we will
be able to continue to establish and maintain strategic relationships on
commercially acceptable terms, or that the alliances we do enter in to will
realize their objectives. Failure to do so would have a material adverse effect
on our business.
OUR BUSINESS DEPENDS TO SOME EXTENT ON INTERNATIONAL
TRANSACTIONS.
We purchase needed materials from companies located abroad
and may be adversely affected by political and currency risk, as well as the
additional costs of doing business with a foreign entity. Some customers in
other countries have longer receivable periods or warranty periods. In addition,
many of the OEMs that are the most likely long-term purchasers of our
microdisplays are located abroad exposing us to additional political and
currency risk. We may find it necessary to locate manufacturing facilities
abroad to be closer to our customers which could expose us to additional
risks, including management of a multi-national organization, the complexities
of complying with foreign laws and customs, political instability and the
complexities of taxation in multiple jurisdictions.
OUR BUSINESS MAY
EXPOSE US TO PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS.
Our business may expose us to
potential product liability claims. Although no such claims have been brought
against us to date, and to our knowledge no such claim is threatened or likely,
we may face liability to product users for damages resulting from the faulty
design or manufacture of our products. While we plan to maintain product
liability insurance coverage, there can be no assurance that product liability
claims will not exceed coverage limits, fall outside the scope of such coverage,
or that such insurance will continue to be available at commercially reasonable
rates, if at all.
OUR BUSINESS IS SUBJECT TO ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS
AND POSSIBLE LIABILITY ARISING FROM POTENTIAL EMPLOYEE CLAIMS OF EXPOSURE TO
HARMFUL SUBSTANCES USED IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND MANUFACTURE OF OUR
PRODUCTS.
We are subject to various governmental regulations related to
toxic, volatile, experimental and other hazardous chemicals used in our design
and manufacturing process. Our failure to comply with these regulations could
result in the imposition of fines or in the suspension or cessation of our
operations. Compliance with these regulations could require us to acquire costly
equipment or to incur other significant expenses. We develop, evaluate and
utilize new chemical compounds in the manufacture of our products. While we
attempt to ensure that our employees are protected from exposure to hazardous
materials, we cannot assure you that potentially harmful exposure will not occur
or that we will not be liable to employees as a result.
Risks related to
our stock
The substantial number of shares that are or will
be eligible for sale could cause our common stock price to decline
even if the company is successful.
Sales of significant amounts of
common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may
occur, could materially affect the market price of our common
stock. These sales might also make it more difficult for us to
sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price
that we deem appropriate. As of April 30, 2005, we have
outstanding (i) options to purchase 15,252,688 shares; and (ii) warrants
to purchase 18,273,439 shares of common stock.
WE HAVE A STAGGERED
BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND OTHER ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS, WHICH COULD INHIBIT
POTENTIAL INVESTORS OR DELAY OR PREVENT A CHANGE OF CONTROL THAT MAY FAVOR
YOU.
Our Board of Directors is divided into three classes and our Board
members are elected for terms that are staggered. This could discourage the
efforts by others to obtain control of the company. Some of the provisions of
our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws and Delaware law could, together or
separately, discourage potential acquisition proposals or delay or prevent a
change in control. In particular, our board of directors is authorized to issue
up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock (less any outstanding shares of
preferred stock) with rights and privileges that might be senior to our common
stock, without the consent of the holders of the common stock.
ITEM 3: Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the
period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision
and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial
officer of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)
and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon this evaluation, our chief
executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified
in the Commission's rules and forms. There was no change in our internal
controls or in other factors that could affect these controls during our last
fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
Item 1.

not have a material adverse effect on the company's results of operations or
financial position.
