Explanatory Note
Aventura Holdings, Inc. (the Company) is filing this Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 2) to amend its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on March 28, 2008 (the Original Filing), and amended August 6, 2008 to revise the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) conclusions regarding the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2007 solely as a result of its failure to file Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting in the Original Filing.
This Amendment No. 2 amends and restates only Part II Item 9A of the Original Filing. All other portions of the March 28, 2008 Original Filing remain in effect and have not been amended to reflect subsequent events and developments. In accordance with Rule 12b-15 of the Exchange Act, this Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-K/A sets forth the complete text of Item 9A of Part II of the Registrants Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, as amended but should be read in conjunction with the Companys SEC filings made subsequent to the Original Filing.
PART II
ITEM 9A. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
The Companys disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed under the Exchange Act securities laws is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Companys CEO and CFO, to allow timely decision regarding required disclosure. Management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that its disclosure controls will prevent or detect all errors. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the control systems objective will be met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that disclosure requirements may be misinterpreted and judgments in decision-making may be inexact.
As of the end of the period covered by this report and pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company carried out an evaluation with the participation of the Companys management, including the CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness and design of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on that evaluation and solely because of the Companys failure to file the required Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting (Report of Management) in its Annual Report on Form 10-K when it was originally filed on March 28, 2008, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by the Annual Report on Form 10-K in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting information required to be disclosed by the Company, within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. The Company remedied this failure in the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures by amending its Annual Report on Form 10-K (Amendment No. 1) to provide the required Report of Management. The Company has implemented additional controls and procedures designed to ensure that the disclosure provided by the Company meets the then-current requirements of the applicable filing made under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Managements Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a15(f). Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and the Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal ControlIntegrated FrameworkGuidance for Smaller Public Companies. Based on our assessment we believe that, as of December 31, 2007, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
Our managements report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only managements report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended December 31, 2007, there was no control in place to insure the inclusion of a Report of Management. Subsequent to that date, the Company has enacted certain controls, through resolution, designed to insure the inclusion of such Report of Management in the future. Beyond this, there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
