Basis of Presentation and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The consolidated interim financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in US dollars, 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 generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

The consolidated interim financial statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005 include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries and its related party Avani O2 Water Sdn. Bhd. ("Avani O2"), of which a director is also a significant shareholder of the Company. As described in Note 2, the Company is the primary beneficiary of Avani O2, a variable interest entity (“VIE”) as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46R (“FIN No. 46R”). Accordingly, Avani O2 was consolidated in the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.  All material inter-company balances and inter-company transactions have been eliminated. Subsequent to June 30, 2005, upon resolution of various disputes and other matters, the Company anticipates that it will reconsider the VIE status of Avani O2 and its accounts will no longer form part of these consolidated financial statements (Note 2).

These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein.  It is suggested that these consolidated interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2004, in which Avani O2 was consolidated, and notes thereto included in the Company's 10-KSB annual report.  The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.

Results of operations for the interim periods are not indicative of annual results.

These accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred accumulated losses to June 30, 2005 of $8,032,091.  The continuation of the Company is dependent upon the continuing financial support of creditors and stockholders, obtaining additional long-term financing, as well as achieving and maintaining a profitable level of operations.  The Company plans to raise additional equity and debt capital as necessary to finance the operating and capital requirements of the Company.  Amounts raised will be used to provide financing for the marketing and promotion of the Company's business, capital expansion and for other working capital purposes.  While the Company is expending its best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate sufficient funds for operations.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from this uncertainty.

2.

Variable Interest Entity


Avani O2 was incorporated in July 1999 in Malaysia mainly to explore the opportunities of developing and marketing bottled water in South East Asia.  In 2000, Avani O2 entered into a joint-venture agreement with the Company for the world-wide rights and licenses, except in Canada, to access and use, for all purposes, the Company’s technology of producing oxygen enriched bottled water.  Avani O2 is considered a VIE of the Company because, pursuant to the original joint-venture agreement, the Company is entitled to, among other things, receive a 2% royalty on all revenue from all Avani O2 licensed products, 30% of the before tax profits generated by the bottling line contributed by the Company to Avani O2 and to appoint two of the three directors on the Board of Directors of Avani O2. As a result, the equity investors of Avani O2 do not have a controlling financial interest in Avani O2 and the Company is the primary beneficiary of Avani O2, the VIE.  Accordingly, the Company commenced consolidating Avani O2 in 2004.  The cumulative effect of the change in accounting policy of $91,664 was recorded in the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss at January 1, 2004 and included in accumulated deficit.  Subsequent to the elimination of intercompany balances and transactions, Avani O2 had net assets of $204,507 (December 31, 2004 - $1,226,433) as at June 30, 2005 and net loss of $1,018,934 (2004 net income - $392,410) for the six-month period then ended (Note 7). These amounts were recorded as non-controlling interests in these consolidated interim financial statements.


During the six-month period ended June 30, 2005, the Company terminated the royalty and net profits agreement with Avani O2.  In addition, in connection with a dispute between the Company and Avani O2 over, among other matters, payment of accounts receivable in amounts recognized and owing to the Company (that are eliminated on consolidation), the Company obtained a Garnishing Order against Avani O2 in the amount of approximately $704,855 (CDN $863,728).  As at June 30, 2005, the dispute has not been resolved.


Upon resolution of the above disputes, the changes in Avani O2’s equity holdings and other matters, management of the Company anticipates that Avani O2, will no longer be considered a VIE (as described under FIN No. 46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB 51”) and the accounts of Avani O2 will no longer form part of these consolidated financial statements.

Capital Stock

Transactions not disclosed elsewhere in these consolidated interim financial statements are as follows:

a)

As at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company had 22,862,557 fully exercisable share purchase warrants outstanding.  Of this amount, 1,500,000 warrants that were granted August 2003 are exercisable at any time within 5 years at an exercise price of $0.06 per share on or before September 2, 2008, and 550,000 warrants that were granted September 26, 2001 are exercisable at any time within 5 years at an exercise price of $0.06 on or before September 26, 2005, and $0.07 on or before September 26, 2006. The remaining 20,812,557 warrants were granted on May 13, 2002 and July 15, 2002 and were exercisable at any time within 5 years at a price of $0.03 in the first two years, $0.05 in the third and fourth year and $0.07 in the last year.

All of the share purchase warrants were exercisable on the grant date and were outstanding at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004.

c)

The Company applies Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion 25 and related interpretations in accounting for stock options granted to employees.  Generally, under APB No. 25 compensation expense is recognized for the difference between the market price of the underlying stock and the exercise price of the stock options.  Accordingly, no compensation has been recognized in connection with options granted to employees. Had compensation cost been determined based upon the fair value of the stock options at the grant date consistent with the fair value method prescribed in SFAS No. 123, the Company's net loss and loss per share would have been increased to the pro forma amounts as indicated below:

Subsequent Event


In June 2005, the Company agreed to sell its rights, title and interest to all the assets of the Company’s 2½ and 5 gallon bottled water business in British Columbia, Canada which included certain of the equipment, business records including customer lists, brochures, and samples for a total of approximately $32,642 (CDN $40,000) and the purchaser’s assumption of certain current liabilities.  The Company maintains the right to sell 2½ and 5 gallon bottled water to other regions in Canada and internationally.  At June 30, 2005, the book value of the assets held for sale was $48,193 (December 31, 2004 - $47,280), which included inventories of $3,229 (December 31, 2004 - $4,040) and equipment (cooler equipment and other fixtures) with a net book value of $44,964 (December 31, 2004 - $43,240).  The purchaser also assumed total liabilities of approximately $72,629 (CDN $89,070) (December 31, 2004 - $74,043), which included bottle deposits, cooler deposits, and unearned revenue.  The agreement was finalized and the assets transferred on July 15, 2005 after completion and removal of various subjects by the purchaser.

New Accounting Pronouncement


In June 2005, the FASB issued Statement 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” which replaces APB Opinion 20 and FASB Statement 3.  Statement 154 changes the requirements for the accounting and reporting of a change in accounting principle.  Opinion 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including the cumulative effect of the new accounting principle in net income of the period of change.  Statement 154 now requires retrospective application of changes in accounting principle to prior period financial statements, unless it is impractical to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change.  The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.  Management is assessing the effect on the consolidated financial statements as a result of the implementation of this new standard.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis.


The Company has significant business relationships with Avani O2 Water Sdn. Bhd. (“Avani O2”), a Malaysian company and its affiliate. As described in Note 2 of the consolidated interim financial statements, the Company is the primary beneficiary of Avani O2, a variable interest entity (“VIE”) as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46R (“FIN No. 46R”). Accordingly, the Company consolidated Avani O2 in the results for the 2004 and 2005 periods.  All material inter-company balances and inter-company transactions have been eliminated. The Company’s prior periodic, quarterly and annual filings, including the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the period ended December 31, 2004 discusses in greater detail the following;


Avani O2 was incorporated in July 1999 in Malaysia mainly to explore the opportunities of developing and marketing bottled water in South East Asia.  On February 18, 2000, the Company entered into an joint venture agreement with Avani O2 pursuant to which Avani O2 received, among other rights, the right and license to construct manufacturing facilities, and to produce and sell the Company’s proprietary water product worldwide, subject to certain conditions and exclusions, including a 30% pre-tax net profits interest and 2% gross royalty interest payable to the Company. On April 19, 2004, the agreement was amended by replacing the 30% pre tax net profits interest with a rental fee payable by Avani O2 to the Company equal to 20,000 Malaysian Ringitt (RM) per each bottling line per month plus 0.19RM per 355ml or 0.00054RM per ml per bottle commencing January 1, 2003. [3.8 RM equals $1.00 USD].


On October 25, 2002, the Company, together with its wholly owned subsidiary, Avani Oxygen Water Corp. entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement with Avani O2 (“Asset Sale Agreement”). Pursuant to the agreement, the Company agreed to sell all of the assets of its subsidiary consisting of its plant, production equipment, and real estate to Avani O2. The Asset Sale Agreement provides for 24 monthly instalments of $70,620 CDN commencing October 1, 2002 to and continuing to September 1, 2004, with a final payment of $220,686 CDN on October 1, 2004. Avani O2 did not make its final payment under the Asset Sale Agreement, and the payment date has been extended to November 25, 2004. On December 13, 2004, Avani notified Avani O2 that it has terminated the Asset Sale Agreement, and that all payments made to date by Avani O2 are now considered a non-refundable deposit.


Please refer to the filings referenced above for a broader description of the transactions and relationships with Avani O2 and its affiliate.


While all intercompany balances (between the Company and Avani O2) have been eliminated as of June 30, 2005, as of such date, Avani O2 owes the Company (i) $524,111 in respect of the payments due under the joint venture agreement (of which, $446,724 of net rental income has not been recognized as revenue in the Company’s accounting record), and (ii) $612,341 in trade payables due for products sold to Avani O2. In connection with the trade payables due the Company, the Company has filed a Garnishing Order Before Judgment against Avani O2 in the Supreme Court of British Columbia (Canada) (See Part II – Item 1. Legal Proceeding”).  


Upon resolution of the above disputes, and other matters, management of the Company anticipates that Avani O2, will no longer be considered a VIE (as described under FIN No. 46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB 51”) and the accounts of Avani O2 will no longer form part of these consolidated financial statements.


The following discusses the results of operations and the financial position of the consolidated accounts of the Company, its two wholly owned subsidiaries (Avani Oxygen Water Corporation and Avani International Marketing Corporation), and Avani O2. As discussed above, Avani O2 is considered to be a VIE and its operations have been consolidated into the operations of the Company commencing in the first quarter of 2004 in accordance with US GAAP. Readers should understand that the consolidated balance sheet indicated herein may not be indicative of the resources available to the Company to settle liabilities and commitments since the net assets of Avani O2 may not be readily available to the Company or are not completely within the control of the Company’s management.  Segmented information by geographic area is included in Note 7 of the consolidated interim financial statements.  Readers should consider the effect of such change in accounting policy and the limitations on balance sheet resources when reviewing the discussion below.


On July 15, 2005, the Company sold to an unaffiliated third party, certain assets and liabilities of its wholly owned subsidiary, Avani Oxygen Water Corporation, relating to its business of providing local delivery of 5 gallon bottles and renting water coolers. The assets included the Company’s active customer accounts, three vehicles, and related inventory and equipment. The purchaser paid the Company the sum of approximately $32,642 ($40,000 CDN), and assumed the payment of approximately $72,629 ($89,070 CDN) in prepaid water cooler and bottle deposits. The Company also agreed not to compete in any business in British Columbia (Canada) involving the production and sale of 2.5 and 5 gallon water bottles. The Company has no other affiliation or business dealings with the purchaser or its affiliates.


Results of Operations.


Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 compared with the Six Months Ended June 30, 2004.


Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $862,645 representing a decrease of $564,147 or 39.5% from revenues of $1,426,792 for the same period in 2004. The decrease is based principally on reduced water sales by Avani O2. The Company believes that its claims against Avani O2 have negatively impacted the relationship between the two entities, and is the principal reason for the reduction in Avani O2’s water sales for the 2005 period. Revenues for the six-month period in 2005 consisted of $853,319 in water and supply sales (a decrease of 39.2% from $1,402,371 for the prior period), $9,326 in cooler rentals and equipment sales (a decrease of 61.8% from $24,421 for the same period in the prior year). Of the total water revenue for the 2005 period, $208,495 represents product sales other than Avani O2 sales (which compares with $126,436 for the 2004 period), and $644,824 in Avani O2 sales (which compares with $1,275,935 for the 2004 period). As stated below, as of June 30, 2005, the Company (Avani O2) wrote off all of its receivables from its major Malaysian customer including $644,824 in revenues which were recorded for the six month period in 2005.


Cost of revenue which includes depreciation for the six-month period in 2005 totaled $519,903, a decrease of $290,626 or 35.9% from $810,529 for the same period in 2004. Cost of revenue as a percentage of sales was 60.3% for the 2005 period representing an increase of 3.5% from 56.8% for the prior period. The increase in cost of revenue as a percentage of sales for the 2005 period reflects the effect of relatively consistent fixed costs and depreciation in proportion to lower revenue.  Cost of revenue for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005 consisted of costs of goods sold consisting of $431,537 in bottled water, supplies, coolers, and related equipment, and delivery costs (a decrease of $284,527 or 39.7% from $716,064 for the prior period) and $88,366 in depreciation (a decrease of $6,099 or 6.5% from $94,465 for the same period in prior year). Of the total costs of goods sold for the 2005 period, $95,839 is attributable to the Canadian operations (which contrasts with $74,596 for the 2004 period) and $335,698 is attributable to the Malaysian operations of Avani O2 (which contrasts with $641,468 for the 2004 period). The decrease in costs of revenue is due mainly to lower material and labor costs associated with the reduced production levels. Gross profit for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005 was $342,742, a decrease of $273,521 or 44.4% from gross profit of $616,263 for the same period in 2004.


Operating expenses which includes marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses, write off of receivable, and foreign exchange loss (gain) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005 totaled $1,635,716, an increase of $1,213,048 or 287% from $422,668 for the same period in 2004. Marketing expenses totaled $26,285 for the six-month period in 2005 representing a decrease of 31.7% from $38,505 for the prior period. The decrease is due to less international marketing activities and expenses. General and administrative costs were $375,822 in 2005, a decrease of 6.3% from $401,079 in the prior period. The decrease is due principally to the lack of stock based compensation recorded during the 2005 period, while such compensation occurred during the 2004 period. As of June 30, 2005, the Company (Avani O2) wrote off $1,240,811 in receivables from Avani O2’s major customer in Malaysia due to various collection issues. No write off occurred in 2004. Foreign exchange loss was $7,202 in 2005 compared with $16,916 in 2004. The difference results from less fluctuation in foreign exchange rate. Loss from operations for the 2005 period is $1,292,974 compared to income of $193,595 for the comparable period 2004 due to the reasons discussed above.


During the 2005 period, the Company recorded interest on debts payable of $3,238 compared with $2,988 for the 2004 period. Miscellaneous income was $2,278 for the 2005 period compared with $2,074 for the comparable period in 2004. As a result of the consolidation of Avani 02, the Company recorded a non-controlling interest adjustment of $1,018,934 in the 2005 period contrasted with $(392,410) for the same period in 2004.


Net losses before cumulative effect of change in accounting policy for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, were $275,000 and $103,785, respectively. The Company had a loss during the six month period in 2004 of $91,664 ($Nil in the same period for 2005) due to the cumulative change in accounting policy. The Company also had a foreign currency transaction adjustment of $(36,139) in 2005 compared with $(15,139) for the 2004 period. Comprehensive loss for the 2005 period was $311,139 compared with a loss of $306,532 for the same period in 2004. Loss per share was $0.02 in 2005 and $0.02 in 2004.


Liquidity and Capital Resources.


As of June 30, 2005, the Company had working capital deficit of $508,575. Working capital as of December 31, 2004 was $702,917. The decrease in working capital is principally a result of the write-off $1,240,811 in receivables as discussed above.


Property, plant and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, as of June 30, 2005 totaled $1,197,290, which consists of $988,199 in Company assets located in Canada and $209,091 in Avani O2 assets located in Malaysia. Property, plant and equipment of the Company, net of accumulated depreciation, as of December 31, 2004 totaled $1,314,653 which consists of $1,019,885 in Company assets located in Canada and $294,768 in Avani O2 assets located in Malaysia. The reduction is due to amortization that occurred during the period. Equipment held for sale which reflects the Company’s sale in July 2005 of its 2 1/2 and 5 gallon water delivery business was $44,964 as of June 30, 2005 and $43,240 for the December 31, 2004 year end.


The Company continues to experience significant losses from operations. The Company is uncertain as to when it will achieve profitable operations. As discussed in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004, Avani has entered into the Asset Sale Agreement to sell all of its assets related to its water business to Avani O2. However, as mentioned in the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the period ended December 31, 2004 (“2004 Form 10-KSB”), Avani O2 has failed to make the required payments under the agreement. The Company expects to continue to promote its water products both domestically and internationally If Avani continues its water business for the foreseeable future, it expects to achieve breakeven cash flow from operations from these efforts (excluding any intercompany sales to Avani O2) during the next 12 months. The Company has filed a Garnishing Order Before Judgment against Avani O2 Water Sdn. Bdn. in the Supreme Court of British Colombia, Canada which seeks to garnish $692,728 ($863,950 CDN) in funds of Avani O2 held in HSBC Bank Canada (See Part II Item 1 Legal Proceedings below). We have sent the amended writ of summon and amended statement of claim filed 15 June 2005 to Avani O2 whom received on June 30, 2005.  The revised balance due is $704,855 ($863,728 CDN) plus material charges of $81,879 ($100,334 CDN).  The total claim is in the sum of $800,581 ($981,031 CDN).  Since Avani O2 has not filed defense statement to the Supreme Court in British Columbia before forty two days from the date of receipt of Amended Writ of Summon and Amended Statement of Claim, the Company is going to proceed the claim to obtain the judgment from the Court.


If the Company is unable to collect on its trade receivables from Avani O2, its available cash and cash equivalents and other accounts receivable will be sufficient to fund its ongoing operations for a period of approximately two months.  Irrespective of the outcome of its discussions with Avani O2, the Company intends to raise approximately $500,000 in the next three to six months to finance its ongoing bottled water operations or for other operations through the private placement of its capital stock or through debt financing. If the Company is successful in its endeavors, it believes that the money raised together with cash flow from operations (excluding intercompany transactions) will be sufficient to support its operations for a period of 12 months. The private placement of its capital stock will result in significant dilution to shareholders (See disclosure relating to cautionary statements in the 2004 Form 10-KSB). At this time, the Company has no commitments for any such financing, and no assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in these endeavors. If the Company is unsuccessful in these endeavors, it will have a material adverse impact on the Company and its ability to conduct its business in the future. Accordingly, the Company’s financial statements contain note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to substantial doubt over the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. In their auditors’ report on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company’s independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding the substantial doubt over the Company’s ability to continue as going concern. In addition, any future financings will result in significant dilution to existing shareholders (see disclosure relating to cautionary statements in the 2004 Form 10-KSB).


Concurrent with its efforts to raise funds for operations, the Company also is seeking other business opportunities, to acquire through a merger or share exchange or to enter into a joint venture. The Company cannot predict whether it will be successful in its efforts. If the Company acquires a business opportunity, or enters into a joint venture, it likely will involve significant dilution to shareholders.


Cautionary Statements.  Readers are urged to refer to the section entitled "Cautionary Statements in the  Company's  Form 10-KSB  for  the year ended December 31, 2004  and elsewhere therein for  a broader  discussion of such risks and uncertainties. These risks include the lack of profitable operations, limited distribution channels, the need for additional capital to sustain operations, and significant dilution to existing shareholders.

Critical Accounting Policies

Variable Interest Entities.  Avani O2 was incorporated in July 1999 in Malaysia mainly to explore the opportunities of developing and marketing bottled water in South East Asia.  In 2000, Avani O2 entered into a joint-venture agreement with the Company for the world-wide rights and licenses, except in Canada, to access and use, for all purposes, the Company’s technology of producing oxygen enriched bottled water.  Avani O2 is considered a VIE of the Company because, pursuant to the original joint-venture agreement, the Company is entitled to, among other things, receive a 2% royalty on all revenue from all Avani O2 licensed products, 30% of the before tax profits generated by the bottling line contributed by the Company to Avani O2, and appoint two of the three directors on the Board of Directors of Avani O2. As a result, the equity investors of Avani O2 do not have a controlling financial interest in Avani O2 and the Company is the primary beneficiary of Avani O2, the VIE.  Accordingly, the Company commenced consolidating Avani O2 in 2004.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2005, the Company terminated the royalty and net profits agreement with Avani O2.  In addition, in connection with a dispute between the Company and Avani O2 over, among other matters, payment of accounts receivable in amounts recognized and owing to the Company (that are eliminated on consolidation), the Company obtained a Garnishing order against Avani O2 in the amount of approximately $704,855 ($863,728 CDN).  As at June 30, 2005, the dispute has not been resolved.


Upon resolution of the above disputes, the changes in Avani O2’s equity holdings and other matters, management of the Company anticipates that Avani O2, will no longer be considered a VIE (as described under FIN No. 46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB 51”) and the accounts of Avani O2 will no longer form part of these consolidated financial statements.


Revenue Recognition. Revenue on sales of bottled water and sales of cooler and equipment is recognized when the products are delivered and title transfers to customers. Sales terms generally do not permit a right of return.  Revenue from leasing of water coolers and filters are accounted for as operating leases and, accordingly, rental income is reported over the terms of the leases. Deposits received for bottles and coolers are accrued as liabilities until refunded upon return of bottles and coolers. Freight charges billed to customers are included in Revenue while associated freight costs are included in Cost of Revenue.


As part of the settlement of the loan payables from two lenders, the Company assigned its Net Profits Interest referred to above to these lenders.  The Company will recognize the revenue from the Net Profits Interest (subsequently amended to become a monthly rental fee) and reduce the amount of obligation payable related to the assignment of such interest when the lenders receive their assigned Net Profits Interest payments.  For the six-month period ended June 30, 2005, all intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.


Stock Based Compensation. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", requires the Company to provide pro-forma information regarding net income as if compensation cost for the Company's stock option plan had been determined in accordance with the fair value based method prescribed in SFAS No. 123.  The value of stock options granted to consultants is recognized in these consolidated financial statements as compensation expense using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  Such compensation is amortized over the contract services period or, if none exists, from the date of grant until the options vest.  Compensation associated with unvested options is remeasured on each balance sheet date using the Black Scholes option pricing model. The Company has not adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation awarded to employees.  For the three months ended March 31, 2004, compensation expenses of $99,343 was recognized for options granted to non-employees in 2004. During the three months ended March 31, 2004, the Company’s net loss would have been increased by $5,964 resulting in the pro-forma net loss of $205,392.  The pro-forma loss per share equals the loss per share as reported.


Off Balance Sheet Arrangements. As the Company has adopted FIN 46R effective January 2004, there are no off balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2005.

New Accounting Pronouncement.


In June 2005, the FASB issued Statement 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” which replaces APB Opinion 20 and FASB Statement 3.  Statement 154 changes the requirements for the accounting and reporting of a change in accounting principle.  Opinion 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including the cumulative effect of the new accounting principle in net income of the period of change.  Statement 154 now requires retrospective application of changes in accounting principle to prior period financial statements, unless it is impractical to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change.  The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.  Management is assessing the effect on the consolidated financial statements as a result of the implementation of this new standard.


Item 3. Effectiveness of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures.

 

(a) Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Company’s President and Principal Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of its disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of June 30, 2005. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s  President and Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the material information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable SEC rules and forms relating to the Company’s reporting obligations, and was made known to them by others within the Company, particularly during the period when this report was being prepared.


(b) Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.

In addition, there were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting that could significantly affect these controls during the Company’s most recent quarter.
