PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 4T. |
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out by the Company’s management, under the direction of Mr. Janovec, our chief executive and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The Company has been actively engaged in the development and implementation of a remediation plan to address the material weakness in controls indentified in prior filings. Our plans are intended to ensure that such errors are not repeated. The Company has assigned dedicated and experienced resources of the Company
with the responsibility for identification and valuation of our reporting. Management continues to assign the highest priority to the efforts in this area, with the goal of fully resolving any material weakness by no later than the year end of 2009.
The Company recognizes that continued improvement in its internal controls over financial reporting is necessary. Accordingly, the Company to date has modified its internal processes to more appropriately establish the Company’s full compliance with disclosure requirements.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and
the preparation of an issuer’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that:
|
° |
Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transaction and dispositions of an issuer’s assets; and |
|
° |
Provide reasonable assurances that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that an issuer’s receipts and expenditure are being made only in accordance with authorizations of its management and directors; and |
|
° |
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisitions, use or disposition of an issuer’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control
systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
As required by Rule 13a-15(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008, and December 31, 2007. Management’s assessment was based on criteria set forth by
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (“COSO”). Our assessment did not identify deficiencies that were determined to be significant deficiencies in internal control.
A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the initiation, authorization, and recording, processing or reporting of reliable financial data. Since there were significant deficiencies in our assessment, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting
was effective as of March 31, 2008, and December 31, 2007.
This quarterly report and our annual report for December 31, 2007 do 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 the annual report for December 31, 2007, and for this quarterly report for the quarter ending March 31,2008.
