In this Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-Q (“Amendment”), we are amending Part 1, Item 4T, Controls and Procedures of our Form 10-Q originally filed on May 13, 2009 (“Form 10-Q”). Our Amendment clarifies our
disclosures and states our revised conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of March 31, 2009 due to material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting which were identified in our Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2008. In addition, as required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, new certifications by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer are filed as exhibits to this
Amendment.
This Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Form 10-Q or modify or update those disclosures affected by subsequent events. Except as described above, no other modifications or changes have been made to the Form 10-Q as originally filed or the exhibits filed therewith. Other events occurring
after the filing of the Form 10-Q or other disclosures necessary to reflect subsequent events have been addressed in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the filing of the Form 10-Q.
Part I
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures”
(as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) Rules 13a-15(e) and 15-d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange
Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of March 31, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over
financial reporting described in our Form 10-K at December 31, 2008, as amended on Form 10K/A on August 18, 2009.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. In our Form 10-K at December 31, 2008, , as amended on Form 10K/A on August 18, 2009we identified certain matters that constitute material weaknesses (as defined under the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 2) in our internal control over financial reporting as discussed on Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. We are undergoing ongoing evaluation and improvements in our internal control over financial reporting. Regarding our identified weaknesses, we have performed the following remediation efforts:
Insufficient disaster recovery or backup of core business functions. . We have installed a remote server running the software programs used for our financial reporting processes, so that we can quickly recover our backup
data and use it at a remote location, in the event of a disaster.
Lack of segregation of duties. We now have separate individuals performing purchasing, accounts payable processing, and bank reconciliations. Our Chief Financial Officer supervises and
reviews the month end closing process. Our Chief Operating Officer oversees the cash disbursements. Checks are signed by the Chief Executive Officer. At this time, we believe that we have established adequate segregation of duties to the extent possible with our small staff size.
Lack of documented and reviewed system of internal control. We have started to review and document our internal control and we are also currently updating our risk assessment and preparing to test
our systems. This process will continue over the next two quarters.
There was no other change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
