MANATRON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

_________________________

(1)          GENERAL INFORMATION

The consolidated condensed financial statements included in this Form 10-Q have been prepared by Manatron, Inc. ("Manatron" or the "Company"), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2002, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 26, 2002.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only a normal and recurring nature, necessary to present fairly (a) the financial position of the registrant as of January 31, 2003 and April 30, 2002, (b) the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2003 and 2002, and (c) the cash flows for the nine months ended January 31, 2003 and 2002.

Revenue Recognition

The Company's Software Systems and Services segment enters into contracts with customers to sell application software; third party software; hardware; professional services, such as installation, training, and conversion; and post-contract support and maintenance ("PCS") services. The Company recognizes revenue for contracts with multiple element software arrangements in accordance with Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition," as amended. The Company allocates the total arrangement fee among each deliverable based on the relative fair value of each of the deliverables, determined based on vendor-specific objective evidence ("VSOE"). When discounts are offered in a software arrangement, the Company utilizes the residual method, as defined in SOP 97-2, and allocates revenue to the undelivered elements based on VSOE. The discount and remaining revenue are allocated to the delivered elements, which typically encompass the software and hardware components of the contract.

Certain of the Company's software arrangements involve "off-the-shelf" software and services that are not considered essential to the functionality of the software. For these arrangements, software revenue is recognized when the installation has occurred, customer acceptance is reasonably assured, the sales price represents an enforceable claim and is probable of collection, and the remaining services such as training and installation are considered nominal. Fees allocable to services under these arrangements are recognized as revenue as the services are performed.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)

_________________________

(1)          GENERAL INFORMATION (continued)

Revenue related to sales of computer hardware and supplies is recognized when title passes, which is normally the shipping or installation date.

PCS includes telephone support, bug fixes and rights to upgrades on a when-and-if available basis. These support fees are typically billed in advance on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis and are recognized as revenue ratably over the related contract periods.

Billings for Future Services, as reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, includes PCS and other services that have been billed to the customer in advance of performance. It also includes customer deposits on new contracts and other progress billings for software and hardware that has not been completely installed.

For arrangements that include customization or modification of the software, or where software services are otherwise considered essential, or for real estate appraisal projects, revenue is recognized using contract accounting. Revenue from these arrangements is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method with progress-to-completion measured based primarily upon labor hours incurred or units completed. Revenue earned is based on the progress-to-completion percentage after giving effect to the most recent estimates of total cost. Changes to total estimated contract costs, if any, are recognized in the period they are determined. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. As of January 31, 2003 and 2002, the reserves for contract losses, as well as billed retainages outstanding associated with revenue that has been recognized, was not material. The Company reflects Revenues Earned in Excess of Billings and Retainages as well as Billings in Excess of Revenues for contracts in process at the end of the reporting period in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Reserves against Accounts Receivable and reserves against Revenues in Excess of Billings and Retainages are established based on the Company's collection history and other known risks associated with the related contracts. The Company's contracts do not typically contain a right of return. Accordingly, as of January 31, 2003 and 2002, the reserve for returns was not significant.

Notes Receivable result from certain software contracts in which customers pay for the application software, hardware or related services over an extended period of time, generally three to five years. Interest on these notes range from 8% to 10%. The Company recognizes revenue for these contracts when the related elements are delivered, as the contract terms are fixed and determinable and the Company has a longstanding history of collecting on the notes under the original payment terms without providing concessions. Certain of the Company's leases meet the criteria of sales type leases as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 13, "Accounting for Leases."

(1)          GENERAL INFORMATION (continued)

However, the Company's leasing activities are not a material part of its business activities and, accordingly, are no longer broken out separately in the consolidated condensed financial statements.

New Accounting Procurements

In July 2002, The FASB issued SFAS 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with exit or Disposal Activities." Statement No. 146 addresses the timing of recognition and related measurement of the costs of one-time termination benefits. SFAS 146 is effective for exit activities initiated after December 31, 2002.

FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others," changes current practice in accounting for, and disclosure of, guarantees. Interpretation No. 45 will require certain guarantees to be recorded as liabilities at fair value on the Company's balance sheet. Current practice requires that liabilities related to guarantees be recorded only when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable, as those terms are defined in FASB Statement No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies." Interpretation No. 45 also requires a guarantor to make significant new disclosures, even when the likelihood of making any payments under the guarantee is remote, which is another change from current practice. The initial recognition and measurement provisions are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements of Interpretation No. 45 are effective immediately and are included in Note 5.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123." SFAS 148 amends SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair-value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of Statement No. 123 to require disclosure in interim financial statements regarding the method used on reported results. The Company does not intend to adopt a fair-value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation until a final standard is issued by the FASB.

(3)          GOODWILL AND OTHER LONG-LIVED ASSETS

In 2001, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 142 no longer requires the amortization of goodwill; however, tests for impairment must be performed annually or more frequently if certain triggering events occur. Effective May 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142 and is no longer amortizing goodwill. The Company employed the services of an independent third party to assist in the step one evaluation of goodwill impairment as of May 1, 2002. This analysis was completed in the second quarter and resulted in no goodwill impairment. If the Company had accounted for goodwill under the provisions of SFAS No. 142 in the prior fiscal year, net income and earnings per share would have been as follows for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2002:

(5)          CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND GUARANTEES

The Company previously contracted with the Town of Branford ("Branford") to provide certain appraisal services for a fee of $538,000. On February 25, 2002, Branford filed a lawsuit against Liberty Mutual Insurance Company ("Liberty"), Manatron's bonding company, in connection with this contract in the Federal District Court for the District of Connecticut. Branford alleged breach on the bond contract with Liberty, misrepresentation, negligent misrepresentation, knowing misrepresentation and breach of duty of good faith and fair dealing. Branford is seeking payment of the $538,000 penal sum of the bond, plus unspecified damages in excess of the penal sum. Although the initial complaint did not name the Company as a defendant, the Company has subsequently been adjoined into this lawsuit. Since Branford has rejected and prevented Manatron's attempts to remedy the conditions that Branford alleged were in default under the contract, Manatron has filed a claim against Branford for breach of contract and is seeking to recover the remaining $219,880 due under the contract.

The Company and its subsidiary are periodically parties, both as plaintiff and defendant, to lawsuits and claims arising out of the normal course of business. The Company records reserves for losses that are deemed to be probable and that are subject to reasonable estimates. The Company does not anticipate material losses as a result of these proceedings beyond amounts already provided for in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The Company provides to its customers a one-year warranty on its internally developed application software. Warranty expenses are not and have not been significant.

Effective June 1, 1999, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of ProVal Corporation. This purchase required additional contingent payments of the Company's stock if certain operating measures were reached during the first four years subsequent to the merger. The final contingent payment under this agreement will be for performance during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2003.

The Company is periodically required to obtain bid and performance bonds to provide certain assurances to current and prospective customers regarding its ability to fulfill contractual obligations. The Company has agreed to indemnify the surety for any and all claims made against the bonds. Historically, the Company has not had any claims for indemnity from its surety. As of January 31, 2003, the Company had approximately $10.5 million in outstanding performance bonds which are anticipated to expire within the next 18 months.

The Company utilizes subcontractors at times to help complete contractual obligations; however, the Company is still ultimately responsible for the performance of the subcontractors.

Item 2.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management's discussion and analysis of its results of operations and financial condition are based upon the Company's consolidated condensed financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim periods. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to intangible assets, bad debts, long-term service contracts, contingencies and litigation. As these are condensed financial statements, reference should be made to the Company's Form 10-K Annual Report for the year ended April 30, 2002, for expanded information about these critical accounting policies and estimates.

Results of Operations

Total net revenues of $10.7 million for the three months ended January 31, 2003, have increased by 5% in comparison to the $10.1 million of net revenues that were reported for the prior year comparable period. Total net revenues of $29.8 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2003, were flat in comparison with the prior year amount of $29.7 million.

Software Systems and Services segment revenues have increased 17% from $7.7 million to $9 million for the three months ended January 31, 2003, and 14% from $21.7 million to $24.9 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2003, compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year. These revenues generally include software license fees, hardware sales, forms and supplies sales, and various professional services, such as software support, data conversions, installation, training, project management, hardware maintenance, and forms processing and printing. These increases are primarily attributable to growth in professional services and recurring support revenues over the prior year. The increase in professional services revenue is due to the execution of a number of new MVP Tax and Proval contracts in Indiana and the Southeast region during the first nine months of fiscal 2003, as well as continued progress on the larger MVP Tax projects in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, Baltimore, Maryland and Jefferson County, Alabama. The increase in recurring support revenues is due to a number of new software installations and price increases. The Company increased its prices on a number of support and maintenance contracts for its products during the second half of fiscal 2002, which would have had minimal impact on the prior year comparable periods. These recurring support and maintenance fees represent approximately 50% of this segment's annual revenue. Software license fees, which represent approximately 14% of this segment's annual revenue were flat for both periods primarily because a few of the Company's larger development projects have taken longer to complete than originally anticipated.

Appraisal Service segment revenues, which include fees for mass real estate appraisals or revaluations, have decreased for the three months ended January 31, 2003, by 33% to $1.6 million and by 37% to $5 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2003. The Company's backlog for appraisal services at January 31, 2003, of $5.5 million is $300,000 or 5% lower than


-12-


the backlog of $5.8 million reported as of April 30, 2002. These decreases are due primarily to the cyclical and project nature of this segment, including the fact that the Company's largest market for these services, Ohio, uses a six-year cycle for revaluations. For fiscal 2003, appraisal service revenues are projected to be between $6 and $7 million, which is approximately $5 million or 50% less than appraisal service revenues reported for fiscal 2002. If the Company is able to renew appraisal service contracts that it completed in the previous cycle, these revenues should begin to increase in fiscal 2004. While the Company continues to actively pursue new appraisal service contracts, efforts are being focused on its traditional markets in Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania where the Company has historically been more successful in executing profitable contracts.

As noted in prior years, the Company had reserved 100% of retainage revenue related to the Allegheny County appraisal project and approximately 13% of the gross under-billed position on all other appraisal service projects due to the high degree of judgment involved in estimating the percentage of completion on these projects and the uncertainty regarding their ultimate collection. As of January 31, 2003 and 2002, the total reserve against retainage revenue remaining under all appraisal service projects (including Allegheny County) was approximately $630,000 and $823,000, respectively. As of January 31, 2003 and 2002, the total reserve against retainage revenue under the Allegheny County project was approximately $418,000 for both periods. The Company continues to believe it is appropriate to reserve 100% of the remaining unpaid Allegheny retention as well as certain other monies due for the performance of services under that contract, because certain officials of Allegheny County have continued to contest the payment of such amounts. The ultimate collection of these monies is pending an order from the judge who initially ordered the reassessment, which is expected to be issued within the next twelve months.

Cost of revenues of $6.1 million for the three months ended January 31, 2003, were 3% lower than the $6.3 million of costs for the three months ended January 31, 2002. Cost of revenues of $17.2 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2003, were 9% lower than the $18.8 million of costs reported for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. These decreases are primarily due to a shift in the mix of revenues and costs generated by the Company's two reportable segments. The Software Systems and Services segment typically yields a higher gross margin than the Appraisal Services segment, which is highly labor intensive. While margins for the Software Systems and Services segment were actually similar at approximately 55% for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, this segment is making up a larger portion of the overall revenues and related costs, which has caused the combined margin to increase nearly 5% to 42% over the prior year three and nine month periods.

Selling, general and administrative expenses have increased by approximately $250,000 or 7% to $3.9 million for the three months ended January 31, 2003, and by approximately $680,000 or 6% to $11.3 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2003. These increases are primarily due to the Company's continued investment in research and development, which is an integral component of the Company's growth strategy. Research and development costs of approximately $1.3 million and $4.1 million were included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2003, respectively. These expenditures are approximately $200,000 and $600,000, respectively, higher than the prior year comparable periods. In addition, sales and marketing expenses are approximately $180,000 higher for the nine months ended January 31, 2003, over the prior year comparable period due to


-13-


an increase in commissions associated with increased contract activity over the prior year. Sales and marketing expenses for the current quarter were comparable to the prior year period. The increases in research and development, and sales and marketing expenses were offset by the discontinuance of goodwill amortization due to the implementation of SFAS No. 142. The effect of discontinuing the amortization of goodwill in connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 142 benefited the current quarter net income by approximately $147,000 or $.04 per diluted share and net income for the nine months ended January 31, 2003, by $441,000 or $.12 per diluted share.

As a result of the factors noted above, the Company reported substantial improvements in its operating income. Operating income increased $470,000 to $598,000 for the three months and $1.1 million to $1.3 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2003. Net other income for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2003, increased by $34,302 and $120,157 to $52,523 and $141,005, respectively. The improvement in net other income for both the three and nine months ended January 31, 2003, was primarily due to the additional interest income generated from the Company's increased cash balances.

The Company's provision for federal income taxes generally fluctuates with the level of pretax income. The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2003, are approximately equal to the statutory rate, which is 34%. The current year rates are substantially lower than the prior year because of the implementation of SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142 eliminated goodwill amortization expense, which was primarily non-deductible for tax purposes.

Net income was $425,028 or $0.11 per diluted share for the three months ended January 31, 2003, versus net income of $38,396 or $0.01 per diluted share for the three months ended January 31, 2002. Net income for the nine months ended January 31, 2003, was $966,728 or $0.25 per diluted share compared to net income of $76,491 or $0.02 per diluted share for the nine months ended January 31, 2002. Diluted weighted average outstanding common shares increased by approximately 265,000 shares for the three months ended January 31, 2003, and 233,000 shares for the nine month period ended January 31, 2003, compared to the prior year comparable periods. These increases are primarily due to the issuance of stock associated with the Company's Employee Stock Purchase and Restricted Stock Plans in addition to the issuance of stock associated with the Proval post-merger contingent stock agreement.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

At January 31, 2003, the Company had working capital of $4.5 million compared to the April 30, 2002, amount of $4.3 million. These levels reflect a current ratio of 1.25 and 1.28, respectively. The improvement in working capital is primarily due to positive cash flows from operations.

Shareholders' equity at January 31, 2003, increased by $1.2 million to $13.6 million from the balance reported at April 30, 2002, because of $98,000 of employee stock purchases, $241,000 of deferred stock compensation expense and $967,000 of net income for the nine months ended January 31, 2003. These increases were offset by $109,000 of Company stock repurchases. As a result, book value per share has increased to $3.40 as of January 31, 2003, from $3.11 at April 30, 2002. The Company calculates book-value per share by dividing total shareholder's equity of $13.6 million by total shares outstanding of 4,009,750, at January 31, 2003.



-14-


Net capital expenditures increased by approximately $736,000 to $1.1 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2003, compared to approximately $402,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 2002. This increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of a 25,000 square foot building that adjoins the Company's current corporate facility in Portage, Michigan. The Company paid $610,000 in cash for the building. The Company is leasing back approximately 50% of this additional space to the prior owner and plans to use the remaining space for growth. Current year expenditures also include approximately $80,000 of expenditures for furniture and fixtures associated with the relocation of the Company's Canton, Ohio office and the expansion of the Tampa, Florida office. The remaining fiscal 2003 expenditures as well as the fiscal 2002 expenditures related to purchases or upgrades of computer hardware and software used by the Company's development and support personnel.

The Company capitalized approximately $365,000 and $260,000 of software development costs for the three months ended January 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. For the nine months ended January 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company capitalized $1 million and $767,000, respectively. Consistent with the increase in research and development expenses noted previously, these increases are due to the Company's technology plan which essentially is directed towards the creation of the next generation of property, tax and appraisal products that will be marketed nationally.

Since the Company's revenues are generated from contracts with local governmental entities, it is not uncommon for certain of its accounts receivable to remain outstanding for approximately three to four months, thereby having a negative impact upon cash flow. The Company currently has a secured line of credit agreement with Comerica Bank at the prime rate of interest less .25% up to $6 million. Borrowings under this agreement are contingent upon meeting certain funded debt to EBITDA levels. As of January 31, 2003, the Company was eligible for the full $6 million of borrowings. As of January 31, 2003, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under its $6 million line of credit. The Company anticipates that its $6 million line of credit, together with existing cash balance of approximately $8 million, and cash generated from future operations will be sufficient for the Company to meet its working capital requirements for at least the next twelve months.

On October 10, 2002, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $500,000 of the Company's common stock over the next twelve months. During the three months ended January 31, 2002, the Company repurchased 15,500 shares of common stock totaling approximately $70,000, under this program. In addition, the Company repurchased 9,200 shares of common stock totaling approximately $39,000 under a similar program approved on October 4, 2001, during the second quarter of fiscal 2003.

The Company cannot precisely determine the effect of inflation on its business. The Company continues, however, to experience relatively stable costs for its inventory as the computer hardware market is very competitive. Inflationary price increases related to labor and overhead will have a negative effect on the Company's cash flow and net income to the extent that they cannot be offset through improved productivity and price increases.

"Safe Harbor Statement" Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

This Form 10-Q contains statements that are not historical facts. These statements are called "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements involve important known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors and can be identified by phrases using "estimate," "anticipate," "believe," "project," "expect," "intend," "predict," "potential," "future," "may," "should" and similar expressions or words. The Company's future results, performance or achievements may differ materially from the results, performance or achievements discussed in the forward-looking statements. There are numerous factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in forward-looking statements, including:

The impact that the following factors can have on the Company's business and the computer software and service industry in general:

 

 

 

 

Changes in competition and pricing environments: if competition increases in the computer software and service industry (particularly the segment of the industry that supplies governmental units), companies with greater capital reserves and greater diversification may have more options at their disposal for handling increased competition than we do.

 

 

 

 

Potential negative side effects stemming from the Company's expansion into new regional markets, including Canada: as a result of this expansion, the Company may face unanticipated pitfalls.

 

 

 

 

Pricing and availability of equipment, materials, inventories and programming.

 

 

 

 

Changes in existing computer software and service industry laws or the introduction of new laws, regulations or policies that could affect the Company's business practices, including, by way of example, intellectual property laws and laws affecting software providers' liability: these laws, regulations or policies could impact the computer software and service industry as a whole, or could impact only those portions of the computer software and service industry in which we are currently active, for example, privacy laws regulating how governmental units store and provide access to information; in either case, the Company's profitability could be injured due to an industry-wide market decline or due to the Company's inability to compete with other computer software and service industry companies that are unaffected by these laws, regulations or policies.

 

 

 

 

Changes in technology that render our products obsolete or incompatible with hardware or other software.

 

 

 

 

The Company's success in and expense associated with the development, production, testing, marketing and shipping of products, including a failure to ship new products and technologies when anticipated, failure of customers to accept these products and technologies when planned and any defects in products.

 

 

 

 

The Company's ability to implement successfully its business strategy of developing and



-16-


 

 

licensing client/server decision support applications software designed to address specific industry markets.

 

 

 

 

The Company's ability to assess future revenue: the Company's expense levels are based, in part, on its expectations as to future revenue and a significant portion of the Company's expenses do not vary with revenue; as a result, if revenue is below expectations, results of operations are likely to be materially adversely affected.

 

 

 

 

Continued availability of third party software and technology incorporated in the Company's products.

 

 

 

 

Potential negative impact of the fact that purchase of the Company's products is relatively discretionary and generally involves a significant commitment of capital; in the event of any downturn in any potential customer's business or the economy in general, purchases of the Company's products may be deferred or canceled.

 

 

 

Changes in economic conditions, including changes in interest rates, financial market performance and the computer software and service industry: these types of changes can impact the economy in general, resulting in a downward trend that impacts not the Company's business, but all computer software and service industry companies; or, the changes can impact only those parts of the economy upon which the Company relies in a unique fashion, including, by way of example:

 

 

 

 

Economic factors that affect local governmental budgets.

 

 

 

 

Economic factors that may affect the success of the Company's acquisition strategy.

 

 

 

Changes in the financial markets, the economy, governmental spending, and the demand for software and related services and products resulting from recent events relating to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, and other terrorist activities that have created significant global economic and political uncertainties.


This list provides examples of factors that could affect the results described by forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q. However, this list is not intended to be exhaustive; many other factors could impact the Company's business and it is impossible to predict with any accuracy which factors could result in which negative impacts. Although the Company believes that the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q are reasonable, the Company cannot provide any guarantee that the anticipated results will be achieved. All forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained in this section and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q. In addition to the risks listed above, other risks may arise in the future, and the Company disclaims any obligation to update information contained in any forward-looking statement.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.


The Company's primary market risk exposure is a potential change in interest rates in connection with its outstanding line of credit. As of January 31, 2003, there were no borrowings outstanding under this line of credit. However, the Company does have the ability to draw on this line of credit, which could result in a potential interest rate risk. Based on the Company's historical borrowings, a change of 1% in interest rates would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position. The Company does not enter into market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes.

The Company does not believe that there has been a material change in the nature or categories of the primary market risk exposures, or the particular markets that present the primary risk of loss to the Company. As of the date of this report, the Company does not know of or expect any material changes in the general nature of its primary market risk exposure in the near term. In this discussion, "near term" means a period of one year following the date of the most recent balance sheet contained in this report.

Prevailing interest rates and interest rate relationships are primarily determined by market factors that are beyond the Company's control. All information provided in response to this item consists of forward-looking statements. Reference is made to the section captioned 'Forward-Looking Statements' in Item 2 of this report for a discussion of the limitations on the registrant's responsibility for such statements.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures.


The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the "Evaluation Date"). They have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective to ensure that material information relating to the Company would be made known to them by others within the Company, particularly during the period in which this Form 10-Q Quarterly Report was being prepared. There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the Company's disclosure controls and procedures subsequent to the Evaluation Date, nor any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in such internal controls requiring corrective actions. As a result, no corrective actions were taken.
