Dickie Walker Marine, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements – Unaudited

 

1. The Company – Dickie Walker Marine, Inc. (the “Company”) was originally incorporated in California in October 2000 under the name Montiel Marketing Group, Inc. The Company changed its name in February 2001 to Dickie Walker Marine, Inc. and reincorporated in the State of Delaware in February 2002. The Company designs, markets and distributes nautically inspired apparel, accessories and decorative items and operates in two segments – wholesale and retail.

Since inception, and through March 31, 2006, the Company has incurred losses of approximately $8,435,000. The Company made the decision to exit its current business and consequently liquidated its inventory, negotiated releases from its existing lease agreements for its warehouse facilities and retail store, and sold and/or wrote-off remaining fixed assets, including leasehold improvements.

On April 7, 2006, the Company announced that it has signed a definitive share exchange agreement to acquire 100% of the stock in China Stationary and Office Supply, Inc., a Delaware corporation that owns 90% of the stock of Ningbo Binbin Stationery Co., Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China. See Note 14 – Subsequent Event.

 

2. Basis of Presentation – The accompanying financial statements of Dickie Walker are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results for the interim periods. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto, together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations for the year ended September 30, 2005 contained in the Company’s Form 10-KSB. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire fiscal year.

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 amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, with no effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or net income (loss).

 

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements – On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123R (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” which is a revision of SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes APB No. 25, and amends SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statements of income based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. The Company adopted Statement 123(R) on January 1, 2006.

 

4.

Employee Stock-Based Compensation – The Company adopted Statement 123(R) on January 1, 2006. In compliance with the standard, we recorded stock-based compensation expense in the current quarter related to options and stock grants for employees. Prior to the current quarter, we accounted for our option plans under APB 25 and, accordingly, did not recognize compensation expense for options granted to employees and directors. SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation establishes the use of the fair value method of accounting for employee stock-based compensation arrangements, under which expense is recognized over the vesting period and is determined based on the fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of grant. SFAS No. 123 also allows companies to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and provide pro forma net income and pro forma income per share

  disclosures for employee stock option grants. The Company previously had elected to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide the pro forma disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123.

Pro forma information regarding net loss is required by SFAS No. 123 and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its stock options under the fair value method of SFAS No. 123. The fair value for these options was estimated at the dates of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:

 

     Three Months Ended
March 31,
    Six Months Ended
March 31,
 
     2006    2005     2006     2005

Expected stock volatility

   —      0.967     1.437     0.967  

Expected dividend rate

   —      0 %   0 %   0 %

The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to employee stock-based compensation.

Pro forma

   $ (0.10 )   $ (0.12 )   $ (0.10 )   $ (0.29 )

 

5. Net Loss per Share – Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. Because the Company has incurred a net loss or is at or near breakeven for all periods presented in the Statements of Operations, stock options are not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because their effect is anti-dilutive. The total number of shares excluded for the calculation of diluted net loss per share was 35,000 and 362,000 for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

 

6. Revenue Recognition – Revenue is recognized when title and risk of loss transfers to the customer. Generally, the Company’s shipping terms are FOB shipping point. Provisions are made for estimated product returns and sales allowances.

 

7. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts – The Company evaluates the collectibility of its trade receivables based on a combination of factors. The Company regularly analyzes its significant customer accounts, and, when the Company becomes aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to it, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings or deterioration in the customer’s operating results or financial position, the Company records a specific reserve for bad debt to reduce the related receivable to the amount reasonably believed to be collectible. The Company also records reserves for bad debt for all other customers based on a variety of factors including the length of time the receivables are past due, the financial health of the customer, macroeconomic considerations and historical experience. If circumstances related to specific customers change, the Company’s estimates of the recoverability of receivables could be further adjusted or the related receivables could be written-off to the allowance as uncollectible.

8. Long-Lived Assets – If indicators of impairment exist, we assess the recoverability of the affected long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets can be recovered through the undiscounted future operating cash flows. If impairment is indicated, we measure the amount of such impairment by comparing the carrying value of the asset to the present value of the expected future cash flows associated with the use of the asset. As a result of our decision to exit our current business, we have negotiated releases from our existing lease agreements for our warehouse facilities and retail store, and sold and/or wrote-off our remaining fixed assets, including leasehold improvements.

 

9. Inventories – Inventories consist of the following:

   $ —      $ 195,978
             

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. As of March 31, 2006 we had sold or otherwise disposed of our entire remaining inventory.

 

10. Comprehensive Income – SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income established standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components. Net loss was the same as comprehensive loss for the periods presented.

 

11. Contractual Obligations and Commitments – Our only contractual obligation at March 31, 2006 is an automobile lease. Monthly payments totaling $3,895 are due in one year and totaling $10,840 are due to lease end in September 2009. We intend to pay off the lease in the next three months and sell the automobile.

 

12. Note Conversion and Payoff – In December 2005, the Company converted shareholder notes payable (originally issued in a private offering in 2004) with an aggregate balance of $247,500 into common stock at a price of $0.16 per share, resulting in the issuance of 1,546,872 shares. The Company also accelerated the payment the remaining $165,000 of the principal balance of those notes from June 30, 2007 to December 31, 2005. In addition, the exercise price for the warrants to purchase 165,000 shares of common stock issued in that private offering was reduced from $2.10 per share to $0.50 per share. In connection with the conversion and payoff of those notes, we amortized $131,468 of deferred financing costs related to those notes.

 

13. Other Income – On February 3, 2005, the Company announced it had reached agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with the board of directors of Intelligent Energy Holdings Plc (“Intelligent Energy”), a London-based energy solutions group focused on the commercialization of fuel cell technologies, on the terms of a proposed recommended offer for the entire issued share capital of Intelligent Energy, subject to satisfaction of applicable regulatory requirements, stockholder approvals, and other conditions and pre-conditions to the offer. The Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4, filed with the SEC on May 10, 2005. On October 14, 2005, the Company and Intelligent Energy announced that the companies had executed a Mutual Release Agreement (the “Release Agreement”) terminating and releasing all obligations or potential claims arising from the Acquisition Agreement. In addition, pursuant to the Release Agreement, the Company withdrew its pending Registration Statement on Form S-4 concurrent with the announcement of the executed Release Agreement. As a result of unforeseen difficulties and delays and uncertain support for the transaction from Intelligent Energy’s shareholders, the Company and Intelligent Energy agreed to terminate the Acquisition Agreement. Pursuant to the Release Agreement, Intelligent Energy made a cash payment of $500,000 to the Company on November 1, 2005.

 

14.

Subsequent Event – On April 7, 2006, the Company announced that it has signed a definitive share exchange agreement to acquire 100% of the stock in China Stationary and Office Supply, Inc. (“CSOS”), a

At closing, the current board of directors and management of the Company will resign and will be replaced by individuals appointed by CSOS , and the business of the Company will be the business of CSOS.

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and notes thereto included herein. In connection with the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we caution readers regarding certain forward-looking statements in the following discussion and elsewhere in this report and in any other statement made by, or on our behalf, whether or not in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on our behalf. We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements.

Overview

Dickie Walker Marine, Inc. designed, sourced and had manufactured, marketed and distributed authentic lines of nautically inspired apparel, gifts and decorative items. Our products were designed to appeal to consumers who enjoy coastal living, boating, or being around the water. The Dickie Walker brand consists of nautically inspired apparel and nautically inspired decorative and functional accessory items for the home, office and boat. Our unique apparel line features quality fabrics and comfortable silhouettes for the 30 to 60 year-old, upper middle- class consumer. The Dickie Walker brand of apparel and accessories were distributed through specialty retailers and coastal stores, catalogs and on our Internet website. We also operated a retail store in La Jolla, California. From our inception until December 31, 2004, we had an agreement with West Marine Products, Inc. to provide substantially all of the design, sourcing, manufacturing and distribution for West Marine’s private label apparel line, excluding shoes and foul weather gear. Sales to West Marine have accounted for approximately 68%, 82% and 87% of our sales for the years ended September 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and our relationship with them enabled us to build an infrastructure on which to grow the Dickie Walker™ brand. Because our current strategy was to focus our efforts and resources on developing the Dickie Walker™ brand, we effectively stopped selling to them in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 and formally ended our agreement with them as of December 31, 2004. Our business plan model going forward envisioned using the cash flow generated by our Dickie Walker brand wholesale business to emphasize and increase catalog and related Internet sales of Dickie Walker brand products to replace the sales to West Marine.

In the fall of 2004, the orders from wholesale customers for our spring 2005 line did not meet our expectations, and our board and management began to evaluate the company’s future and the chances that it would be able to meet its fiscal 2005 projections. We concluded that the company was too small to continue to bear the current and future anticipated expenses of being publicly-traded, partially caused by the implementation of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, given the relative benefits of being a public company. In addition, based on the continuing shortfall in wholesale orders, it became apparent that a business model based on wholesale sales would not generate enough funds in the near term to enable the company to shift to a more profitable direct sales model. The board and management determined that being publicly traded on Nasdaq was one of the company’s most valuable assets and began investigating strategies to capitalize on this asset. The board considered a number of alternative transactions designed to preserve or return value to the stockholders and concluded that the best alternative was to pursue an acquisition of the outstanding shares of Intelligent Energy. That transaction ultimately was not successful and as a result, management determined to wind down the Dickie Walker business, attempt to sell the Dickie Walker brand to a third party, and pursue a “reverse merger” transaction with another company. As a result of the decision to exit its current business, the Company consequently liquidated its inventory, negotiated releases from its existing lease agreements for its warehouse facilities and retail store, and sold and/or wrote-off its remaining fixed assets, including leasehold improvements.

On April 7, 2006, the Company announced that it has signed a definitive share exchange agreement to acquire 100% of the stock in China Stationary and Office Supply, Inc. (“CSOS”), a Delaware corporation that owns 90% of the stock of Ningbo Binbin Stationery Co., Ltd. (“Binbin”), a corporation organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China. Binbin manufactures and markets office supplies including stationary, hole punchers, staplers, pens and pencils, rubber stamps, felt markers, and numerous other items which are sold through a worldwide network of distributors.

At closing, CSOS shareholders will exchange their CSOS shares for approximately 10,142,889 shares of Dickie Walker Marine common stock and 500,000 shares of preferred stock. The preferred stock will be convertible into common stock at one share of preferred stock for 120 shares of common stock, after approval of the Dickie Walker Marine shareholders of an increase in the authorized common stock, which the Company intends to seek after closing the transaction. The Company will file a Certificate of Designation for its preferred stock prior to closing.

Pre-closing Dickie Walker Marine stockholders will own approximately 8.6% of the post-closing, combined entity and CSOS shareholders will own approximately 91.4% of the post-closing, combined entity. The transaction is anticipated to close by May 31, 2006. At closing, the current board of directors and management of the Dickie Walker will resign and will be replaced by individuals appointed by CSOS, and the business of the Dickie Walker will be the business of CSOS. After the closing, the Company intends to seek shareholder approval to change the Company’s name to “China Stationary and Office Supply, Inc.”

Cost of sales consists primarily of purchased products, including freight and customs charges. In addition, overhead costs are charged to cost of sales, consisting of facility allocations and labor and related costs for production, distribution and embroidery.

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and related costs of personnel in general management, finance, sales, customer service and design, as well as outside consulting, legal and accounting costs.

We have a limited operating history and face the risks and uncertainties of other early-stage companies. We have had accumulated losses from operations since our inception and may incur future losses from operations. At March 31, 2006, the accumulated deficit was approximately $8,435,000. Our limited operating history and history of losses make future operating results difficult to predict.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements. The preparation of these financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make judgments, assumptions and

 

8


estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those relating to the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory allowance, asset impairments, and other contingencies. Estimates are based on our historical experience and other assumptions that we consider reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. To the extent there are material differences between our estimates and the actual results, our future results of operations will be affected.

We believe that the following critical accounting policies affect the most significant judgments, assumptions and estimates we use in preparing our consolidated financial statements. Changes in these estimates can affect materially the amount of our reported net income or loss.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when title and risk of loss transfers to the customer. Generally, our shipping terms are FOB shipping point. Provisions are made for estimated product returns and sales allowances.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We evaluate the collectibility of our trade receivables based on a combination of factors. We regularly analyze our significant customer accounts, and, when we become aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to it, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings or deterioration in the customer’s operating results or financial position, we record a specific reserve for bad debt to reduce the related receivable to the amount reasonably believed to be collectible. We also record reserves for bad debt for all other customers based on a variety of factors including the length of time the receivables are past due, the financial health of the customer, and historical experience. If circumstances related to specific customers change, our estimates of the recoverability of receivables could be further adjusted or the related receivables could be written-off to the allowance as uncollectible.

Inventory Reserves

We regularly monitor inventory balances and record inventory reserves for any excess of the cost of the inventory over its estimated market value, based on assumptions about future demand and market conditions. While such assumptions may change from period to period, we measure the net realizable value of inventories using the best information available as of the balance sheet date. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected, or we experience a higher incidence of inventory obsolescence because of rapidly changing customer requirements, additional inventory allowances may be required.

Long-Lived Assets

If indicators of impairment exist, we assess the recoverability of the affected long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets can be recovered through the undiscounted future operating cash flows. If impairment is indicated, we measure the amount of such impairment by comparing the carrying value of the asset to the present value of the expected future cash flows associated with the use of the asset. As a result of our decision to exit our current business, we have negotiated releases from our existing lease agreements for our warehouse facilities and retail store, and sold and/or wrote-off our remaining fixed assets, including leasehold improvements.

Results of Operations

Three and six month periods ended March 31, 2006 compared to the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2005

Our sales for the three and six months ended March 31, 2006 decreased substantially from the comparable periods of the last fiscal year because we sold our remaining inventory at discount and liquidation prices.

Our gross profit as a percentage of sales improved for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2006 compared to the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2005 as we were able to dispose of our remaining inventory at a higher value than it was being carried on the books, net of inventory reserves.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased substantially over the comparable fiscal 2005 periods as they are computed on a much lower sales base in fiscal 2006. In absolute dollars, selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended March 31, 2006 decreased by approximately $180,000 and $495,000, respectively, from the three and six months ended March 31, 2005. The absolute dollar changes for the three and six months ended March 31, 2006 as compared to the comparable 2005 periods were primarily due to decreases in payroll and payroll related expenses from staff reductions.

Other income (expense)-net for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 resulted primarily from a write-off of leasehold improvements of approximately $371,000 related to the closing of our leased retail store and approximately $64,000 in leasehold improvements related to our warehouse facility. Our lease for the warehouse facility was cancelled and the lease for the retail store was assigned to a third party. Other income (expense)-net for the six months ended March 31, 2006 include a $500,000 payment received as a result of our failed merger with Intelligent Energy (see Note 13 – Other income.)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since our inception, we have funded our operations and satisfied our capital expenditure requirements primarily with proceeds from sales of common stock to our founders, the private placement of our common stock and promissory notes in fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2004, and our initial public offering in fiscal 2002. Proceeds from these financing sources since inception and through March 31, 2006 totaled approximately $8,600,000 and capital equipment lease and loan financing totaled approximately $227,000.

Net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $102,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2006, resulted primarily from the financial statement impact of the liquidation of our inventory and the abandonment of our leased facilities.

 

10


Net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2006 totaled approximately $35,000 and resulted primarily from the sale of property and equipment and the decrease in other assets.

Net cash used in financing activities of approximately $191,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2006, was primarily composed of payments of $165,000 of notes due to note holders under the 2004 Notes and a repayment of approximately $24,000 to the Chief Executive Officer.

At March 31, 2006, approximately $17,000 in cash and cash equivalents was available to fund operations. As we have effectively suspended operations in anticipation of closing the transaction with CSOS (discussed in Note 14 of Notes to Financial Statements), if the acquisition of CSOS is not completed, there is a strong likelihood that we will have to go out of business.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Our only contractual obligation at March 31, 2006 is an automobile lease. Monthly payments totaling $3,895 are due in one year and totaling $10,840 are due to lease end in September 2009. We intend to pay off the lease in the next three months and sell the automobile.

Risks and Uncertainties

The following is a summary description of the many risks we face in our business. You should carefully review these risks and the other information described in this report in evaluating our business.

If we are unable to complete the merger with CSOS, we will have to close down the business.

At March 31, 2006 approximately $17,000 in cash and cash equivalents was available to fund operations. As we have effectively suspended operations in anticipation of closing the transaction with CSOS (discussed in Note 14 of Notes to Financial Statements), if the acquisition is not completed, there is a strong likelihood that we will have to go out of business.

Because we have been delisted from The Nasdaq SmallCap Market, our shares may be more difficult to sell

Our common stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol DWMA.OB. As a result, an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of or obtain accurate quotations as to price of our common stock.

Our common stock is deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined in Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As such, it is subject to provisions of Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), commonly referred to as the “penny stock rule.” The SEC generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.

Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her Dickie Walker shares in us will be subject to Rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Securities and Exchange Act. Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stock.

The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, which: (1) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (2) contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended; (3) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including “bid” and “ask” prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (4) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (5) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and (6) contains such other information and is in

 

11


such form (including language, type, size and format) as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall require by rule or regulation.

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, to the customer: (1) the bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (2) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (3) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (4) monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling their securities.

We do not pay dividends on our common stock and investors will have to rely on increases in its share price to obtain a return on their investment.

Since our inception we have not paid any dividends and we do not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. We expect that future earnings, if any, will be used for working capital and to finance growth. Because we will not pay dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future, investors must rely on stock appreciation for any return on their investment in our common stock.

We could use the issuance of additional shares of our authorized stock to deter a change in control even if a change in control would be beneficial to our stockholders.

Shares of our common stock and preferred stock that have not yet been issued or reserved for specific purposes may be issued without any action or approval of our stockholders, unless such approval is required by the rules of the SEC or Nasdaq. Issuance of shares of preferred stock may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control even if a change in control would be beneficial to our stockholders.

 

Item 3. Controls and Procedures

We have established and currently maintain disclosure controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported to our principal officers, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any control or procedure, no matter how well designed and functioning, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management applied its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Additionally, the design of any system of controls is partially based upon certain assumptions of the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will achieve its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changing conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies and procedures may deteriorate. Consequently, because of the inherent limitations of a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness and the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our

 

12


disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the end of the quarter ended March 31, 2006. There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
