TOWER TECH HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
June 30, 2007 and 2006


Note 1 - Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial information has been prepared by Tower Tech Holdings Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  Accordingly, it does not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of this financial information have been included.  Financial results for the interim six-month period ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007.  The December 31, 2006 consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  This financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Note 2 - Organization

Blackfoot Enterprises, Inc. (“Blackfoot”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 10, 1996.

Blackfoot as a public company had no operations.  On November 18, 2005, Blackfoot entered into a Share Exchange Agreement whereby it agreed to issue 25,250,000 shares of its common stock to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Tower Tech Systems, Inc. (“Tower Tech”), a private corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Wisconsin.  Tower Tech engineers and manufactures wind turbine extension towers in Manitowoc, Wisconsin.

As part of the Share Exchange Agreement, immediately prior to the closing of the transaction on February 6, 2006, 2,500,000 restricted common shares were issued to a consultant for services provided in connection with this business combination transaction, which were valued at $250,000.  These 2,500,000 shares were part of the 25,250,000 shares described above.

Upon completion of the transaction on February 6, 2006, Tower Tech became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Blackfoot and Blackfoot changed its name to Tower Tech Holdings Inc. (the “Company”).  Since this transaction resulted in the existing shareholders of Tower Tech acquiring control of Blackfoot, for financial reporting purposes, the business combination has been accounted for as an additional capitalization of Blackfoot (a reverse acquisition with Tower Tech as the accounting acquirer).

(Unaudited)
June 30, 2007 and 2006


Note 2 - Organization, continued

The operations of Tower Tech are the only continuing operations of the Company.  In accounting for this transaction, Tower Tech was deemed to be the purchaser and parent company for financial reporting purposes.  Accordingly, its net assets were included in the consolidated balance sheet at their historical value.

 Note 3 - Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, transfer of title has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable, collectability is reasonably assured and delivery has occurred per the contract terms.  Customer deposits and other receipts are generally deferred and recognized when earned.

Revenue is recognized on a contract by contract basis.  Depending on the terms of the contract, revenue may be earned via building of tower sections, building of complete towers, or modifications to existing towers or sections.

Warranty costs are estimated and accrued based on historical rates or known costs of corrections.

Note 4 - Earnings per share computation

The Company follows SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” (“EPS”), which requires the computation and disclosure of two EPS amounts, basic and diluted.  Basic EPS is computed based only on the weighted average number of common shares actually outstanding during the period.  Diluted EPS is computed based on the average number of common shares outstanding plus all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period.  Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect are excluded from diluted earnings per share.

The net income (loss) per common share for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 is based on 47,724,464 and 35,000,000 weighted average shares outstanding during the respective periods.  As of June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company had no potential dilutive common shares.

Note 5 - Related party receivable

During the repayment of related party debt, interest expense was overpaid, resulting in the Company recording a $33,816 receivable from a related party at June 30, 2007.  The Company received payment in full subsequent to the quarter end.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
June 30, 2007 and 2006

Note 9 - Shareholders’ equity

On March 1, 2007, the Company completed a private placement of 10,266,667 shares of its unregistered common stock at a $1.50 per share totaling $15,400,000 to two accredited investors, Tontine Capital Partners, L.P. and Tontine Capital Overseas Master Fund, L.P.  The investors received 8,213,334 and 2,053,333 shares with a purchase price of $12,320,001 and $3,079,999, respectively.

A portion of these proceeds totaling $3,814,751 were used to extinguish all third party notes and a portion of related party notes payable.  The remaining related party notes payable were extinguished with the issuance of 722,297 shares of unregistered common stock at $1.50 per share as repayment of $1,083,447 of debt owed to its directors and officers.  Additionally, all long-term debt totaling $509,972 was paid off with the exception of the long-term note owed to Wisconsin Business Development Finance Corporation.

The remaining proceeds of approximately $11,000,000 has or will be used to purchase equipment, provide working capital and for general corporate purposes.

In conjunction with the private placement, an additional 1,500,000 shares of unregistered common stock at $1.50 per share were issued to Integritas, Inc. for reimbursement of short term loans and advances totaling $447,387, for a finder’s fee for their work in finding the two accredited investors for the private placement totaling $1,490,613 and for entering into a consulting service agreement that was to provide on-going marketing services through December 31, 2008 totaling $312,000.  The Company terminated this consulting service agreement with Integritas, Inc. during June 2007 and expensed the remainder of the agreement cost.

Note 10 - Related party transactions

The Company subcontracts some of its labor from RBA, Inc., a corporation controlled by one of the Company’s shareholders, to cover personnel shortages as needed.  The Company’s billings from RBA, Inc. for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were $48,826 and $46,405, respectively for contracted labor, equipment set up, and general maintenance.  At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, $32,960 and $419,408 was owed to RBA, Inc. and was included in accounts payable – related party, respectively.

Interest expense of $69,231 and $141,549 was incurred on shareholder and related party notes during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $0 and $196,854 was included in accrued liabilities at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

Rent is also payable to a related party.  Rent expense for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $199,919.  Amounts outstanding and included in accrued liabilities at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 are $241,920 and $558,479, respectively.

Note 11 - Contingencies

As of June 30, 2007, the Company continued to have a dispute over service billings related to contracted tower work from one vendor totaling $141,879.  The Company is in disagreement over these billings with the vendor and does not believe they owe the stated amounts.  The Company has not resolved these matters and it is more likely than not that the Company will pay some amount to settle these liabilities.  The Company’s best estimate of this potential contingent liability is 50% of the total which is approximately $71,000 and has recorded this amount in accrued liabilities at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

The Company is also subject to legal proceedings in the normal course of business.  Management believes these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the financial statements.

Note 12 - Effect of recently issued accounting standards

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”).  This standard clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability.  Additionally, it establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions.  This standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  We are currently evaluating the impact of this statement.  We believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS No. 159”).  This standard permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  This standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  We believe the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Item 2.          Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations

General

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2006 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.  The discussion of results, causes and trends should not be construed to imply any conclusion that such results or trends will necessarily continue in the future.

Overview

Effective February 6, 2006, an arrangement was completed between the company, then known as Blackfoot Enterprises, Inc. and Tower Tech Systems, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation (“Tower Tech”), whereby the shareholders of Tower Tech exchanged all of their common shares for 25,250,000 shares of Blackfoot common stock (the “Acquisition”).

Immediately following the Acquisition, the former shareholders of Tower Tech held approximately 72.1% of Blackfoot’s total issued and outstanding common shares.  Tower Tech was thereby deemed to be the acquiror and surviving company for accounting purposes.  Accordingly, the transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition using the purchase method whereby the assets and liabilities of Blackfoot have been recorded at their fair market values and operating results have been included in the company’s financial statements from the effective date of purchase.  The net assets of Tower Tech are included in the balance sheet at their historical book values and its historical results of operations have been presented for the comparative prior period.

Tower Tech

We, through Tower Tech, engineer and manufacture wind turbine extension towers.  Tower Tech was incorporated in October 2003 and was inactive during 2003.  Development of the manufacturing process began in July 2004 after the acquisition and installation of necessary manufacturing equipment.  Operations prior to that time were devoted primarily to securing orders and purchasing capital assets.  In February 2005, we completed, for Clipper Windpower, our manufacturing of the largest wind tower in the country to specifications, which was erected in Wyoming.  Tower Tech entered into a tower production agreement in May 2005 with Vestas Towers Inc., pursuant to which Tower Tech supplied towers to Vestas that were completed throughout the remainder of 2005 and the first quarter of 2006.  The first purchase order under that agreement was a production run for Vestas that served as Tower Tech’s “proving run,” during which final adjustments were made to the capital and production plans.  Following the proving run, Tower Tech temporarily suspended production in February 2006 while it focused on capital raising, production line improvements, and contract and purchase order negotiations with current and future customers.

We followed up those plant improvements with a production contract with an affiliate of Gamesa Eolica, one of the largest wind tower integrators in the industry.  We received an order for 32 towers, similar in size to the towers we produced for Vestas, and quickly increased the order by two additional towers.  We began production of the order in July 2006 on a labor-only basis.  Before completing the order in February 2007, Gamesa had increased that order by

12


another two towers.  During the period, Tower Tech achieved a contract production rate of 100 towers per year.

As of December 31, 2006, we no longer considered the Company to be in the development stage.  During 2006, we gained manufacturing efficiency and secured a backlog of orders in the fourth quarter.  The Company became profitable in the first quarter of 2007 and continued that trend with income of $479,108 for the three months ended June 30, 2007.  Accordingly, our activities to date are not as broad in depth or scope as the activities we may undertake in the future, and our historical operations and financial information are not necessarily indicative of our future operating results.  As of June 30, 2007, our accumulated deficit was $5,949,580.

From inception to February 2007, we had financed our operations and internal growth primarily through capital contributed by shareholders and borrowings from both shareholders and financial institutions with guarantees provided by shareholders.  Management sought and closed the Blackfoot acquisition transaction to obtain financing alternatives available to publicly-traded companies.  On March 1, 2007, we secured $15.4 million through the private placement of our common stock.  We believe with this additional capital, the Company is now positioned to meet its revenue, profitability and strategic goals.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of Tower Tech’s financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.  The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  Management reviews its estimates on an ongoing basis.  Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  While Tower Tech’s significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 1 to its financial statements included in the December 31, 2006 Form 10-KSB, management believes the following accounting policies to be critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its financial statements:

Revenue Recognition.  Tower Tech recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, transfer of title has occurred or services rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable, collectibility is reasonably assured and delivery has occurred per the contract terms.  Customer deposits and other receipts are generally deferred and recognized when earned.  Revenue is recognized on a contract-by-contract basis.  Depending on the terms of the contract, revenue may be earned by the building of tower sections, building a complete tower, or modification to existing towers or sections.  Warranty costs are estimated and accrued based on historical rates or known costs of corrections.

Inventories.  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined using the average cost method.  Market value encompasses consideration of all business factors including price, contract terms and usefulness.

13


Property and Equipment.  Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized while replacements, maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed currently as incurred.  Properties sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the property accounts, with gains or losses on disposal credited or charged to operations.

Depreciation, for financial reporting purposes, is provided over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, which range from 3 to 15 years, using the straight-line method.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the asset useful life or the lease term.

Research and Development.  Research and development costs in the product development process are expensed as incurred.  Assets that are acquired for research and development activities and have alternative future uses in addition to a current use are included in equipment and depreciated over the assets’ estimated useful lives.  Research and development costs consist primarily of contract engineering costs for outsourced design or development, equipment and material costs relating to all design and prototype development activities.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”).  This standard clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability.  Additionally, it establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions.  This standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  We are currently evaluating the impact of this statement.  We believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS No. 159”).  This standard permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  This standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  We believe the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Results of Operations – Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2006

Revenues.  For the quarter ended June 30, 2006, net sales were $23,112.  Cost of sales during that period aggregated $492,098 and exceeded revenues due to start-up and ramp-up costs.  During the majority of the second quarter 2006, the company had suspended operations as it focused on raising capital and making production line improvements.  In comparison, we generated revenues of $2,643,095 for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, with cost of sales totaling $1,527,501.  During 2007, we saw continued improvement in our production costs due to our improvement of manufacturing processes and ongoing training programs.

14


Product Development Expenses.  Product development expenses consist primarily of contract engineering costs for outsourced design or development, equipment and material costs relating to all design and prototype development activities.  For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, these expenses were $0, as compared to $9,858 for the comparable period in 2006.  Now that Tower Tech is in full production mode, these expenses will be replaced with in-house engineering expenses.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $750,615 in 2007 from $235,696 in 2006.  This increase is primarily due to the termination of a marketing agreement in the amount of $210,000, increased head count for administration employees to keep up with our increasing sales volume which included the permanent hiring of a CFO, as well as increased legal and accounting expenses in 2007 directly related to the costs of being a public company.

Other Income (Expense).  Interest expense was $112,103 in 2006, compared to $5,979 in 2007.  The majority of the Company’s debt was paid off in March 2007 with the proceeds from the private placement offering.  Due to our increased cash balance as a result of the private placement of our common stock on March 1, 2007, we gained $120,108 of interest income during the second quarter of 2007 compared to $0 for the prior period.

Net Income (Loss).  Net income of $479,108 for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 compares to a net loss of $826,643 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006.  The net income is largely a result of significant increase in revenue and interest income and a significant decrease of the manufacturing ramp-up costs, which were somewhat offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses and the write-off of the marketing agreement.

Results of Operations – Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2006

Revenues.  For the six months ended June 30, 2006, net sales were $613,843.  Cost of sales during that period aggregated $1,589,738 and exceeded revenues due to start-up and ramp-up costs.  During the majority of the second quarter 2006, the Company had suspended operations as it focused on raising capital and making production line improvements.  In comparison, we generated revenues of $4,861,747 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, with cost of sales totaling $3,049,495.  During 2007, we saw continued improvement in our production costs due to our improvement of manufacturing processes and ongoing training programs.  The Company was in full production mode during the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to limited production for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Product Development Expenses.  Product development expenses consist primarily of contract engineering costs for outsourced design or development, equipment and material costs relating to all design and prototype development activities.  For the six months ended June 30, 2007, these expenses were $2,063, as compared to $26,936 for the comparable period in 2006.  Now that Tower Tech is in full production mode, these expenses will be replaced with in-house engineering expenses.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $1,208,834 in 2007 from $507,757 in 2006.  This increase is primarily due to a marketing agreement in the amount of $240,000, which was terminated during the 2nd quarter 2007, as well as increased legal and accounting expenses in 2007 directly related to the costs of being a public company.  In addition, we hired additional administrative employees over

15

 
the same period in 2006 to keep up with the demand of increased sales volume and productivity.

Other Income (Expense).  Interest expense was $209,324 in 2006, compared to $103,547 in 2007.  The majority of the Company’s debt was paid off in March 2007 with the proceeds from the private placement offering.  Due to our increased cash balance as a result of the private placement of our common stock on March 1, 2007, we gained $162,478 of interest income during the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to $0 for the prior period.

Net Income (Loss).  Net income of $660,286 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compares to a net loss of $1,972,995 for the six months ended June 30, 2006.  The net income is largely a result of the increase in revenue and interest income and a significant decrease of the manufacturing ramp-up costs, which were somewhat offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses and the write-off of the marketing agreement.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Prior to the Company’s private placement offering on March 1, 2007, we had financed our operations primarily through capital contributed by shareholders and borrowings from shareholders and from financial institutions with personal guarantees being provided by the shareholders.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, net cash from financing activities of $11,372,642 was provided primarily by a private placement of our common stock in the amount of $15,400,000 offset by pay down of notes payable and long-term debt in the amount of $4,038,658.  In comparison, cash of $764,488 was provided by financing activities in the first six months of 2006, consisting primarily of borrowings from related parties and additional third-party debt.

At December 31, 2006, we had cash of $125,409 and a working capital deficiency of $7,813,470, as compared to cash of $8,478,138 and a working capital surplus of $6,971,489 at June 30, 2007.  The increases in cash and working capital surplus were due primarily to the proceeds from the private placement of common stock.  Net cash used in operations was $707,933 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 versus cash of $851,035 used for the six months ended June 30, 2006.  During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company had income of $660,286 compared to a loss of $1,972,995 for the six months ended June 30, 2006.  With the significant increase in revenue during 2007, the Company saw a significant increase in operating capital needs for accounts receivable, and with the cash received from the private placement offering, significant payments were made against accounts payable and accrued liabilities.  In addition, customer deposits for future orders contributed $1,663,967 to cash provided by operations.

Cash used in investing activities totaled $2,311,980 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to cash used of $12,539 for the six months ended June 30, 2006.  Purchases of property and equipment totaled $1,778,164 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 reflecting our continued investment in equipment to improve our efficiencies and capacity.  The Company also had to set aside $500,000 in cash reserves to accommodate a new customer order during the six months ended June 30, 2007.

16



On March 1, 2007, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with two accredited investors (the “Investors”) pursuant to which we agreed to sell, and the Investors agreed to purchase 10,266,667 restricted shares of our common stock at $1.50 per share for a total investment of $15,400,000.  Proceeds of the financing were used to reduce debt, and will be used to purchase equipment, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.  We agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in order to register the resale of the shares that were issued to the Investors, pursuant to the terms of a registration rights agreement dated March 1, 2007.

In connection with the closing of the stock purchase described above, we paid most of our outstanding debt in the aggregate principal amount of $4,324,723 with the proceeds of the financing and issued 722,297 shares of common stock at $1.50 per share to our four officers, directors, and principal shareholders as repayment of $1,083,447 in loans.  Accordingly, as a result of these payments, we have only one outstanding loan payable to Wisconsin Business Development Finance Corporation which had a principal amount of $376,593 at June 30, 2007.  This loan requires monthly installments of $4,982 including interest, is due September 1, 2015, and is secured by substantially all our assets and personal guarantees of our principal shareholders.

Plan of Operation

Management believes that as a result of the financing obtained in March 2007, we have sufficient funding to cover our operational and capital expenses through the end of the current fiscal year.  We will remain focused on manufacturing and selling wind towers and monopiles to the wind energy industry over the balance of 2007.  We will improve our manufacturing production process through the acquisition of additional efficiency-enhancing equipment as well as the implementation of throughput-enhancing production methodologies.  To date, we have nearly doubled our production capacity from what it was at the close of 2005.  We do not anticipate that we will hire a proportionate number of employees as we increase our plant capacity during 2007, since we intend to achieve productivity improvements with the addition of labor-saving equipment and significant process improvements.

We have reduced the time it takes to manufacture a 4-section tower by more than 36 percent from early 2006.  We intend to procure additional equipment to increase our capacity of manufacturing over the next 15-18 months.  By late summer of 2007, we will also be fabricating items (internals) that are installed inside tower sections; the necessary equipment has been ordered.

We, together with City Centre LLC, an entity that is indirectly owned by some of our officers, directors, and principal shareholders, have applied to become a “Port-of-Entry” in order to secure further improvements in efficiency and to make the plant more competitive in the future.  “Port-of-Entry” status will not only allow the Company to reduce its shipping and related costs, but will also create an additional revenue stream for the company, as we will be able to charge fees to others for ingress and egress.  We have begun 24-hour, 7-day a week security of the entire peninsula.  As of the date of this report, the U.S. Coast Guard has given its approval of the application.  Final approval is subject to a final inspection by the U.S. Coast Guard, which is expected to take place this fall.  Additional revenue for the company is expected, since we also intend to begin purchasing steel rather than having it supplied by our customers as has been done in the past.  Additionally, steel will be inventoried in an indoor storage area, reducing material handling costs.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2007, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.  

Forward-Looking Statements

The forward-looking comments contained in this discussion involve risks and uncertainties.  Actual results may differ materially from those discussed here due to factors such as, among others, limited operating history, difficulty in developing and refining manufacturing operations, and competition.

Item 3.   Controls and Procedures

As required by SEC rules, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures at the end of the period covered by this report.  This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer and takes into account the segregation of duties comment noted below.  Based on this evaluation, these officers have concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.  There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Disclosure controls and procedures are our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us 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 SEC’s rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

It should be noted that the Company does not have a formal audit committee.  Its board of directors oversees the responsibilities of the audit committee.  The board is fully aware that there is a lack of segregation of duties due to the small number of employees dealing with general administrative and financial matters.  However, the board has determined that considering the employees involved and the control procedures in place, risks associated with such a lack of segregation are insignificant and the potential benefits of adding employees to clearly segregate duties does not justify the expenses associated with such increases at this time.  In a step to address our segregation of duties issue, the Company has hired a full-time CFO and Accounting Manager during the 2nd quarter 2007.
