ITEM 8A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)           Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

                The Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of May 31, 2008 and have concluded that, as of the evaluation date, the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that  information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized  and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer to allow  timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b)           Management's report on internal control over financial reporting.

                The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's CEO and CFO, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  The Company's management has assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2008.  In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control -- Integrated Framework.  Based on this assessment management has concluded that, as of May 31, 2008, the Company's internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

                This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management's report in this annual report.

(c)           Changes in internal controls.          

                There have been no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's control over financial reporting.
