NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, except for the retirement of the Chief Executive Officer (see Note 7), necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information for the periods indicated have been included. For further information regarding the Company’s accounting policies, refer to the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2002.

Aggregate amortization expenses were $170,100 and $85,050 for the six and three months ended March 31, 2003, respectively, and $195,100 and $97,550 for the six and three months ended March 31, 2002, respectively.

The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion Number 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”) and related interpretations in accounting for options granted, which requires compensation expense for the Company’s options to be recognized only if the market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price on the date of grant. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized compensation expense for its options granted after 1994. SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, issued in October 1995, requires pro forma disclosures for option grants made after December 31, 1994, when accounting for stock-based compensation plans in accordance with APB 25.

If the Company elected to recognize compensation cost based on the fair value of the options granted at grant date as prescribed by SFAS No. 123, net income and earnings per common share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts show below:

	Six Months Ended March 31,					Three Months Ended March 31,
	2003			2002		2003		2002

Net income (loss), as reported	$	(64,390	)	$	3,215,589	$	1,428,066	$	1,725,468

Note 3. Financing Arrangements

Long-term debt consists of the following as of March 31, 2003:

Term loans under a credit agreement (i) (ii), interest payable monthly based on either the Eurodollar or prime rate at the Company’s option, plus an applicable margin as defined in the agreement. The interest rate at March 31, 2003 was 4.78%. Future minimum quarterly principal installments of $1,000,000 through September 30, 2006 with any remaining balance due September 30, 2006.	$	34,000,000

Revolving loans under a credit agreement (i), interest payable quarterly based on either the Eurodollar or prime rate at the Company’s option, plus an applicable margin as defined in the agreement. The blended interest rate at March 31, 2003 was 5.2%. The revolving lines of credit terminate in October 2004.	22,500,000

Other	405,192
	56,905,192
Less current maturities	4,000,000
	$	52,905,192

(i) In October 2001, the Company entered into a $70 million credit agreement, which consists of a $40 million term loan and a $30 million revolving loan facility. The credit agreement is collateralized principally by all assets located in the United States of America. The Company is restricted from paying dividends to stockholders. Also, the Company is required to maintain unencumbered cash or marketable securities of $4 million at the end of each fiscal quarter and to maintain a minimum fixed charge and interest coverage ratio, among other financial covenants.

(ii) In addition to quarterly principal payments, the Company may be required to make additional principal payments based on results of the Company’s domestic operating profits, as defined in the agreement.

As of December 31, 2002 and March 31, 2003, the Company was not in compliance with the Funded Debt to EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) financial covenant under its credit agreement. In addition, as of March 31, 2003 the Company was not in compliance with its Interest Coverage and Fixed Charge Coverage financial covenants. On February 18, 2003, the Company received a waiver for the December 31, 2002 covenant violation. On May 14, 2003, the Company received a waiver of the March 31, 2003 covenant violations and amended prospectively the credit agreement to reset the levels of certain financial covenants to reflect the Company’s current business plan and forecasts. The Company paid a fee of $136,250 for the December waiver and $160,000 for the March waiver and amendment. The Company’s interest rate under the term-loan and revolving credit agreement was increased 50 basis points effective January 1, 2003 and an additional 50 basis points effective May 14, 2003.

Note 4. Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share are calculated by dividing net income by the average common shares outstanding. On a diluted basis, shares outstanding are adjusted to assume the exercise of stock options. The effect of stock options have not been included in six months ended March 31, 2003 loss per common share, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

	Six Months Ended March 31,					Three Months Ended March 31,

The Company’s Virgin Islands subsidiary, through the Economic Development Commission of the Government of the Virgin Islands of the United States, has received a 90% exemption from income taxes on operating income. This exemption is effective through September 2020. The per share effect of this exemption on earnings (on both a basic and diluted basis) was to increase earnings per share by $0.09 and $0.06 for the six and three months ended March 31, 2003, respectively, and $0.08 and $0.05 for the six and three months ended March 31, 2002, respectively.

Note 5. Segment and Geographical Information

The Company operates primarily in the beverage alcohol industry in the United States. The Company reports its operating results in four segments:

Bulk Alcohol Products (citrus brandy, citrus spirits, rum, cane spirits, fortified citrus wine, purchased distilled products and byproducts)

Premium Branded Spirits (primarily Cruzan Estate Rums and Cruzan Flavored Rums)

Bottling Operations (contract bottling services and proprietary and private label products)

Vinegar and Cooking Wine (bulk vinegar, bulk cooking wine, vinegar stock and proprietary and private label case goods)

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those referred to in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains “Forward-Looking Statements,” as defined in section 27a of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21e of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-Looking Statements are statements other than historical information or statements of current condition and relate to future events or the future financial performance of the Company. Some Forward-Looking Statements may be identified by use of such terms as “believes,” “anticipates,” “intends” or “expects.” Such Forward-Looking Statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such Forward-Looking Statements. The following is a list of factors, among others, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the Forward-Looking Statements: business conditions in certain market segments and industries and the general economy; competitive factors, including increased competition and price pressures; availability of third-party component products at reasonable prices; increased excise taxes; foreign currency exposure; changes in product mix between and among product lines; lower than expected customer orders and quarterly seasonal fluctuations of those orders; and product shipment interruptions. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any Forward-Looking Statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Introduction

The following discussion and analysis summarizes the significant factors affecting (i) consolidated results of operations of the Company for the six months ended March 31, 2003 compared to the six months ended March 31, 2002, (ii) consolidated results of operations of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2002, and (iii) financial liquidity and capital resources. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included herein. Certain amounts presented in this Item 2 have been rounded to the nearest thousand or hundred thousand, as applicable, but the percentages calculated are based on actual amounts without rounding.

The Company operates primarily in the beverage alcohol industry in the United States. The Company is a leading producer and supplier of brandy, rum, wine and spirits to other beverage alcohol manufacturers; produces, imports and markets premium branded spirits; bottles beverage alcohol and other beverages on a contract basis and under its own labels; and produces vinegar and cooking wine. The Company reports its operating results in four segments: Bulk Alcohol Products (citrus brandy, citrus spirits, rum, cane spirits, fortified citrus wine, purchased distilled products and byproducts); Premium Branded Spirits (primarily Cruzan Estate Rums and Cruzan Flavored Rums); Bottling Operations (contract bottling services and proprietary and private label products); and Vinegar and Cooking Wine (bulk vinegar, bulk cooking wine, vinegar stock and proprietary and private label case goods).

Information regarding the net sales, operating income and total assets of each of the Company’s business segments and information regarding geographic areas is set forth in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s net sales and gross margins (gross profit as a percentage of net sales) vary depending on the mix of business among the Company’s products. Historically, gross margins have been highest in bulk alcohol products and premium branded spirits and lower in bottling operations and vinegar and cooking wine operations.

The Company has a limited number of customers, and these customers often purchase bulk alcohol products in significant quantities or place significant orders for contract bottling services, distilled spirits, vinegar and cooking wine. Accordingly, the size and timing of purchase orders and product shipments can cause operating results to fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. Additionally, some Company products generate higher profit margins than others, and changes in the Company’s product mix can cause gross margins to fluctuate. Certain aspects of the Company’s business are seasonal, with increased demand for the Company’s contract bottling services from April to October and increased production of the Company’s bulk alcohol products from November to June, corresponding to

the Florida citrus harvest. As a result of these factors, the Company’s operating results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter.

Net sales represent the Company’s gross sales less excise taxes. Excise taxes are generally payable on products bottled by the Company. In addition, excise taxes are payable on sales of industrial alcohol to certain customers. Accordingly, excise taxes vary from period to period depending upon the Company’s product and customer mix.

Six months ended March 31, 2003 compared to six months ended March 31, 2002. Unless otherwise noted, references to 2003 represent the six-month period ended March 31, 2003 and references to 2002 represent the six-month period ended March 31, 2002. In 2002, net sales and cost of goods sold of premium branded spirits included excise taxes of approximately $1.2 million, representing excise taxes included in cases sold from warehouses located outside of the Company’s Florida bonded warehouse facilities. Beginning October 1, 2002, the Company no longer includes excise taxes in net sales and cost of goods sold of premium branded spirits case sales from locations outside of the Company’s Florida bonded warehouse facilities. Net sales and cost of sales in 2002 have been reclassified to conform with the 2003 presentation.

Net Sales. Net sales were $42.8 million in 2003, a decrease of 8.6% from net sales of $46.8 million in 2002.

Net sales of bulk alcohol products were $17.5 million in 2003, a decrease of 0.9% from net sales of $17.7 million in 2002. The decrease resulted primarily from decreased shipments of citrus spirits, cane spirits and fortified citrus wine. Except for fortified citrus wine, management believes that the decrease in bulk alcohol product sales is due to the timing of customer orders. Due to the loss of certain customers, management believes that its fortified wine volume in fiscal 2003 may decline by approximately 2% from fiscal 2002.

Net sales of premium branded spirits were $8.7 million in 2003, an increase of 3.5% from net sales of $8.4 million in 2002. In 2002, net sales of premium branded spirits included $1.9 million of bulk tequila sales, representing the liquidation of inventory that was held to produce Porfidio tequila. Excluding bulk tequila sales, net sales of premium branded spirits increased 34.4% from net sales of $6.5 million in 2002. Sales of the Company’s Cruzan Estate Rums and Cruzan Flavored Rums, collectively, increased 26.0% and Cruzan Flavored Rums alone increased 32.7% in 2003 compared to 2002.

Net sales of the Company’s bottling operations were $6.4 million in 2003, a decrease of 37.2% from net sales of $10.2 million in 2002. The unit volume of the Company’s bottling operations decreased 54.7% in 2003 as a result of the decision of a large bottling customer to shift production from the Company to its own bottling facilities. During fiscal 2002, this customer represented approximately 48% of the Company’s unit volume in bottling operations. Management believes that this loss in volume will be partially offset by increased business with new and existing customers and that total bottling operations may decline by approximately 7% to 10% in fiscal 2003.

Net sales of vinegar and cooking wine were $10.1 million in 2003, a decrease of 3.4% from net sales of $10.5 million in 2002. Management believes that the decrease in net sales is due to increased competition and the timing of customer orders.

Gross Profit. Gross profit was $13.4 million in 2003, a decrease of 8.9% from gross profit of $14.7 million in 2002. Gross margin decreased to 31.3% in 2003 from 31.4% in 2002.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $11.1 million in 2003, an increase of 13.0% from $9.8 million in 2002. The increase was primarily attributable to increased administrative, marketing and advertising expenses related to the Company’s premium branded spirits business. The Company has increased its administrative, marketing and advertising expenses in its premium branded spirits business as it continues to place emphasis on this growing business segment.

Operating Income. The following table sets forth the operating income (loss) by reportable segment of the Company for 2003 and 2002.

	Six months ended March 31,
	2003			2002			% Change
	(In thousands)
Bulk Alcohol Products	$	5,773		$	5,400		6.9
Premium Branded Spirits	(746		)	(542		)	—
Bottling Operations	(1,737		)	1,008			—
Vinegar and Cooking Wine	2,052			2,103			(2.4	)
Corporate Operations and Other	(3,041		)	(3,085		)	—
	$	2,301		$	4,884		(52.9	)

As a result of the above factors, operating income was $2.3 million in 2003, a decrease of 52.9% from operating income of $4.9 million in 2002.

The Company’s premium branded spirits segment experienced operating losses of $0.7 million in 2003 and $0.5 million in 2002. The operating loss reflected the Company’s continuing efforts to increase market share by reinvesting segment gross profits in selling and marketing expenses. Included in operating loss of premium branded spirits in 2002 was profit of $0.5 million related to bulk tequila sales. Excluding bulk tequila sales, operating loss of premium branded spirits would have been $1.1 million in 2002.

The Company’s bottling operations segment reported an operating loss of $1.7 million in 2003 compared to operating income of $1.0 million in 2002. The operating loss reflected the decision of a large bottling customer to shift production from the Company to its own bottling facilities. This customer represented approximately 48% of the Company’s annual bottling operations unit volume for fiscal year 2002. Management believes that this loss in volume will be partially offset by increased business with new and existing customers and that total bottling operations volume may decline by approximately 7% to 10% in fiscal 2003.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $1.6 million in 2003 and $1.4 million in 2002. The increase in interest expense was due to higher interest rates during 2003 as compared to 2002 and the payment of a $136,250 waiver fee during 2003 as described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s interest rate under the term-loan and revolving credit agreement was increased 50 basis points effective January 1, 2003.

Other Expense. On November 26, 2002, the Company announced the retirement and resignation of A. Kenneth Pincourt, Jr., its Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The Company has entered into a retirement agreement with Mr. Pincourt, setting forth the terms of his retirement and resignation. The retirement agreement replaces Mr. Pincourt’s previous employment agreement. Under the retirement agreement, the Company elected to accelerate retirement benefits under its deferred compensation program and to continue to pay compensation and provide related benefits through July 15, 2004, the remaining term of Mr. Pincourt’s previous employment contract.

The following table summarizes the charge made during the first quarter for Mr. Pincourt’s retirement:

Deferred compensation	$	1,040,987
Compensation and related benefits	1,012,158
Total	2,053,145

Less deferred compensation accrued as of September 30, 2002	(549,220		)
Charged to expense	$	1,503,925

Income Tax Expense. The Company’s effective income tax rate was 20.0% in 2003 and 24.1% in 2002. The low tax rate was attributable to a 90% exemption of the Company’s Virgin Islands subsidiary from U.S. Virgin Islands income taxes. The exemption is effective through September 2020. In addition, the Company benefited from the extraterritorial income exclusion in 2003 and 2002. During 2003, the Company incurred operating losses from its U.S. operations and recorded an income tax benefit of $0.1 million.

Three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to three months ended March 31, 2002. Unless otherwise noted, references to 2003 represent the three-month period ended March 31, 2003 and references to 2002 represent the three-month period ended March 31, 2002. In 2002, net sales and cost of goods sold of premium branded spirits included excise taxes of approximately $0.6 million, representing excise taxes included in cases sold from warehouses located outside of the Company’s Florida bonded warehouse facilities. Beginning October 1, 2002, the Company no longer includes excise taxes in net sales and cost of goods sold of premium branded spirits case sales from locations outside of the Company’s Florida bonded warehouse facilities. Net sales and cost of sales in 2002 have been reclassified to conform with the 2003 presentation.

Net Sales. Net sales were $21.8 million in 2003, a decrease of 4.9% from net sales of $23.0 million in 2002.

Net sales of bulk alcohol products were $8.8 million in 2003, a decrease of 0.3% from net sales of $8.9 million in 2002. Management believes that the decrease in bulk alcohol shipments is due to the timing of customer orders.

Net sales of premium branded spirits were $4.5 million in 2003, an increase of 23.6% from net sales of $3.7 million in 2002. In 2002, net sales of premium branded spirits included $0.3 million of bulk tequila sales, representing the liquidation of inventory that was held to produce Porfidio tequila. Excluding bulk tequila sales, net sales of premium branded spirits were $4.5 million in 2003, an increase of 37.1% from net sales of $3.3 million in 2002. Sales of the Company’s Cruzan Estate Rums and Cruzan Flavored Rums, collectively, increased 19.1% and Cruzan Flavored Rums alone increased 20.1% in 2003 compared to 2002.

Net sales of the Company’s bottling operations were $3.6 million in 2003, a decrease of 33.9% from net sales of $5.4 million in 2002. The unit volume of the Company’s bottling operations decreased 48.6% in 2003 as a result of the decision of a large bottling customer to shift production from the Company to its own bottling facilities. During fiscal 2002, this customer represented approximately 48% of the Company’s fiscal 2002 unit volume in bottling operations. Management believes that this loss in volume will be partially offset by increased business with new and existing customers and that total bottling operations may decline by approximately 7% to 10% in fiscal 2003.

Net sales of vinegar and cooking wine were $4.9 million in 2003, a decrease of 2.6% from net sales of $5.0 million in 2002. Management believes that the decrease in net sales is due to increased competition and the timing of customer orders.

Gross Profit. Gross profit was $7.8 million in 2003, an increase of 9.3% from gross profit of $7.1 million in 2002. Gross margin increased to 35.8% in 2003 from 31.1% in 2002. The increase in gross margin was primarily attributable to the decreased volume in bottling operations and an increase in shipments of bulk alcohol.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5.6 million in 2003, an increase of 17.6% from $4.7 million in 2002. The increase was primarily attributable to increased administrative, marketing and advertising expenses related to the Company’s premium branded spirits business. The Company has increased its administrative, marketing and advertising expenses in its premium branded spirits business as it continues to place emphasis on this growing business segment.

Operating Income. The following table sets forth the operating income (loss) by reportable segment of the Company for 2003 and 2002.

	Three months ended March 31,
	2003			2002			% Change
	(In thousands)

Corporate Operations and Other	(1,542		)	(1,524		)	—
	$	2,226		$	2,398		(7.2	)

As a result of the above factors, operating income was $2.2 million in 2003, a decrease of 7.2% from operating income of $2.4 million in 2002.

The Company’s premium branded spirits segment experienced operating losses of $0.3 million in 2003 and $0.4 million in 2002. The operating loss reflected the Company’s continuing efforts to increase market share by reinvesting segment gross profits in selling and marketing expenses.

The Company’s bottling operations segment reported an operating loss of $0.5 million in 2003 compared to operating income of $0.8 million in 2002. The operating loss reflected the decision of a large bottling customer to shift production from the Company to its own bottling facilities. This customer represented approximately 48% of the Company’s annual bottling operations unit volume for fiscal year 2002. Management believes that this loss in volume will be partially offset by increased business with new and existing customers and that total bottling operations volume may decline by approximately 8% in fiscal 2003.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $0.9 million in 2003 and $0.6 million in 2002. The increase in interest expense was due to higher interest rates during 2003 as compared to 2002 and the payment of a $136,250 waiver fee during 2003 as described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s interest rate under the term-loan and revolving credit agreement was increased 50 basis points effective January 1, 2003.

Income Tax Expense. The Company’s effective income tax rate was 13.8% in 2003 and 21.9% in 2002. The low tax rate was attributable to a 90% exemption of the Company’s Virgin Islands subsidiary from U.S. Virgin Islands income taxes. The exemption is effective through September 2020. In addition, the Company benefited from the extraterritorial income exclusion in 2003 and 2002.

Financial Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

The Company’s principal use of cash in its operating activities is for purchasing raw materials to be used in its manufacturing operations, purchasing imported products for its premium branded spirits business and carrying inventories and receivables. The Company’s source of liquidity has historically been cash flow from operations and its line of credit. Some of the Company’s manufacturing operations are seasonal and the Company’s borrowings on its line of credit vary during the year. For example, the Company uses citrus molasses as its primary raw material in the production of citrus brandy and spirits at its two Florida distilleries. The Company buys citrus molasses, a by-product of citrus juice production, from local manufacturers of citrus juice and concentrate during the citrus harvest, which generally runs from November to June. The Company generally begins purchasing citrus molasses in November and manufactures and builds inventory of citrus brandy and spirits. The Company manufactures and builds inventory while raw materials are available due to the short life of the citrus molasses it purchases. Another seasonal business of the Company is its contract bottling services. Demand for contract bottling services is highest during the months from April through October. Management believes that cash provided by its operating and financing activities will provide adequate resources to satisfy its working capital, liquidity and anticipated capital expenditure requirements for both its short-term and long-term capital needs.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities in 2003 was $1.5 million, which resulted from $2.5 million in net income adjusted for noncash items, and $1.0 million representing the net increase in operating assets and liabilities.

The Company currently has approximately $2.1 million of ready-to-drink finished goods inventory and related raw materials and supplies, the sales of which have not yet met expectations. The Company continues to sell this inventory in the ordinary course and is currently exploring alternatives with respect to the disposition of any excess inventory. The Company believes that it will be able to recover at least the book value thereof in the current fiscal year.

Investing and Financing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities in 2003 was $2.4 million, which resulted primarily from $2.1 million of capital expenditures.

Net cash used in financing activities in 2003 was $0.1 million, which resulted from borrowings of $2.0 million under the revolving credit facility and payments of $2.1 million of long-term debt.

The Company’s revolving credit facility provides for maximum borrowings of $30 million. Borrowings under this facility were $22.5 million at March 31, 2003 (see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements).

The Company’s bank debt was $56.5 million as of March 31, 2003, and its ratio of total debt to equity was 1.1 to 1.

to reflect the Company’s current business plan and forecasts. The Company paid a fee of $136,250 for the December waiver and $160,000 for the March waiver and amendment. The Company’s interest rate under the term-loan and revolving credit agreement was increased 50 basis points effective January 1, 2003 and an additional 50 basis points effective May 14, 2003.

The Company’s share of the undistributed earnings of the Bahamian and Virgin Islands subsidiaries was approximately $7.5 million and $27.9 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2002. See Note 10 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2002 for additional information on income taxes related to these subsidiaries.

Based on current plans and business conditions, management expects that its cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, together with any amounts generated from operations and available borrowings, will be sufficient to meet the Company’s cash requirements for at least the next 12 months.

Effects of Inflation and Changing Prices

The Company’s results of operations and financial condition have not been significantly affected by inflation and changing prices. The Company has been able, subject to normal competitive conditions, to pass along rising costs through increased selling prices.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements located in Item 8 of its Annual Report on Form 10-K. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company believes that the following critical accounting policy is subject to estimates and judgments used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements:

The Company has goodwill and intangible assets associated with business acquisitions. The Company reviews these assets for impairment annually and whenever an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of these assets below their carrying value. If the fair value of these assets is less than their carrying value, then an impairment loss would be recognized equal to the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the asset.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The information required under this Item 3 is incorporated herein by reference to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the year ended September 30, 2002.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Within 90 days prior to the date of this report, management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC reports. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

Changes in Internal Controls

In addition, management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, reviewed the Company’s internal controls, and there have been no significant changes in the internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of their last evaluation.
