EXPLANATORY NOTE

We are filing this Amendment to our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, in response to certain comments made by the staff of the SEC.  In response to such comments, we have (i) amended Item 9A(T) Controls and Procedures, and (ii) filed new Section 302 certifications of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer (Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2, respectively) that include the introductory language in paragraphs 3, 4, 4(a), 4(c), 4(d), 5, 5(a) and 5(b).

Except as described above, the remainder of the Form 10-K is unchanged and does not reflect events occurring after the original filing of the Form 10-K with the SEC on February 19, 2009.

ITEM 9A(T).  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief  Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).  Such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information, which is required to be disclosed in our reports filed pursuant to the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, accumulated, and communicated to management within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.  Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report.
 
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act.  Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, which consists of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in the framework in  Internal Control – Integrated Framework  issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”), as supplemented by the COSO publication  Internal Control over Financial Reporting – Guidance for Smaller Public Companies ..  Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2008, based on these criteria.
 
Management is aware that there is a lack of segregation of duties at the Company because there are only two people dealing with financial and accounting matters.  In order to compensate for the lack of segregation of duties, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and an outside accountant review the books and records including invoices, checks, contracts, general ledger, journal entries, financial statements and disclosures to ensure that all material transactions are recorded and disclosed properly and material misstatements are avoided.   Notwithstanding the above regarding the lack of segregation of duties, management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, believes that the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report present fairly, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
 
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered independent auditors regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered independent auditors pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
During the quarter ended December 31, 2008, there were no changes in our internal controls that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to have materially affected our internal control over financial reporting.
 
Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud.  A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
