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.
