EXPLANATORY NOTE:
 
We are filing this amendment to the Synutra International, Inc. (“we”, or the “Company”) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2006, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 14, 2007 (the “Original Filing”), to include or revise information necessary to improve the disclosures as follows:

·  
In the Original Filing, we included the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2005 that were restated to reclassify certain sales and related costs of nutritional supplement ingredients, anhydrous milk-fat, non-fat dry milk, and toll packaging and blending services as part of revenue and cost of sales instead of other income (expense). There is no impact on the Net Income and Earnings per Share. We are providing additional disclosures on this Form 10-Q/A under Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements to clearly indicate the prior year restatement as well as the impact of this prior year restatement. We also clearly labeled the Consolidated Statement of Income for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2005 as restated.

·  
Disclosures in Item 2 MD&A Results of Operations have been updated to provide factors underlying variances in our ancillary products.

·  
Disclosures in Item 4 Controls and Procedures have been updated in light of the prior year restatement.

Except as described above, all other information is unchanged and reflects the disclosures made at the time of the Original Filing. This Form 10-Q/A does not otherwise reflect events occurring after the Original Filing or otherwise modify or update these disclosures. Accordingly, this Form 10-Q/A should be read in conjunction with our filings with the SEC subsequent to the Original Filing.

SYNUTRA INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
Synutra International, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation that at December 31, 2006 owned 100% of five subsidiary companies in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”). These five subsidiaries are all principally engaged in different stages of the production, distribution, and sales of dairy based pediatric and adult nutrition products. The Company’s extensive sales network covers 24 provinces, 227 cities, and more than 800 counties throughout China. The Company’s fiscal year end is March 31.
 
On November 6, 2006, the Company consummated a transaction with the Department of Finance of Zheng Lan Qi (County) of Inner Mongolia in which the Company acquired certain assets owned by them including approximately $256,000 in land use rights and $5,635,000 in plant and buildings under construction. The transaction was consummated in order to establish a wholly foreign-owned company to produce milk fat and other diary-based food ingredients. The agreement provided that the effective date of the transaction was when the Company received 60% of the non refundable subsidy of RMB 30,000,000 (approximately $3,800,000). This occurred during September 2006 and thus the assets were recorded during that period, notwithstanding that the official ownership certificates have not yet been obtained. The non refundable subsidy was received in two installments and was recorded in the periods received.  The acquisition was considered immaterial since the acquired assets only comprise approximately 5% of the Company’s total assets. No additional disclosures are deemed necessary in this filing.

In November, 2006 Zhangjiakou Sheng Yuan Co., Ltd., one of the Company’s operating subsidiaries, entered into an agreement with the shareholders of Inner Mongolia Meng Yuan Food Co., Ltd. (“Meng Yuan”) to acquire 100% of the equity interest in Meng Yuan for a consideration of about $900,000. At the close of the transaction Meng Yuan transferred assets under its control to Zhangjiakou which included land use rights, plant equipment and plant buildings under construction. The Meng Yuan project is anticipated to be put in service in mid 2007 and it is designed to produce 7,200 tons per year infant formula products. The transfer of the above assets and the payment of the considerations have been accounted for in this quarterly report and no additional disclosure is deemed necessary.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the balance sheet of Synutra International, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006, the results of their operations for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, and their cash flows for the nine month periods ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. All adjustments are of normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 are not necessarily indicative of future results. The consolidated balance sheet information as of March 31, 2006 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 included in the Company’s fiscal 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A.

The following critical accounting policies affect the significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

For certain of the Company's consolidated financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables, prepaid expenses, deposits and other current assets, short-term bank borrowings, and other payables and accruals, the carrying amounts approximate fair values due to their short maturities.

Cash restricted is 30%, 50%, or 100% of bank demand deposits used as security against notes payables of 3 to 6 months terms. This is used by the Company as a short term instrument to reduce short-term interest expenses.

Trade receivables
 
The Company presents trade receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance is calculated based on review of individual customer accounts.

Trade receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred. The allowance on the doubtful accounts was $575,258 and $417,143 as at December 31, 2006 and March 31, 2006, respectively.

Inventories
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is calculated on the moving-average basis and includes all costs to acquire and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. The Company evaluates the net realizable value of its inventories on a regular basis and records a provision for loss to reduce the computed weighted-average cost if it exceeds the net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
 
11

 
Property, plant and equipment
 
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The initial cost of the asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the assets estimated useful life for periods ranging from five to fifty years. Significant improvements and betterments are capitalized where it is probable that the expenditure resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained form the use of the asset beyond its originally assessed standard of performance. Routine repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred. Gains and losses on disposal of fixed assets are recognized in the statement of income based on the net disposal proceeds less the carrying amount of the assets.
 
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The useful lives for property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Buildings and leasehold improvement
 
20 - 50 years
Plant and machinery
 
5 - 10 years
Office equipment and furnishings
 
5 years
Motor vehicles

Income taxes

Income taxes of the Company’s subsidiaries are calculated in accordance with taxation principles currently effective in the PRC. For Synutra Illinois, applicable U.S. tax laws are followed. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance, when necessary, is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets and liabilities that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when goods are shipped or delivered and rewards and risk of ownership and title pass to the customer. Revenues consist of the invoice value of the sale of goods and services net of value added tax, rebates and discounts, certain sales incentives, trade promotions, and product returns. Revenue reduction is accounted for in the same period the related sales are recorded.

Most of the Company’s mainline product sales are through distributors. The Company’s revenue arrangement with all its distributors requires distributor advance payment before shipment and delivery of goods to distributors. Under this distributor arrangement, evidenced by purchase order together with advance payment, sales revenue is realized and earned upon shipment and acceptance of delivery of products to and by distributors. The Company applies this revenue recognition policy uniformly to all its mainline products, including all dairy-based pediatric and adult nutritional products. Revenue recognition criteria outlined in the provisions of SAB 104, namely, persuasive evidence of arrangement, product delivery, fixed and determinable product prices, and reasonable assurance of collectibility are met.

A nominal amount of the Company’s mainline product sales are through supermarket retailers directly. Revenue arrangement with these retailers requires receipt of purchase orders before product shipment and delivery. Similarly, the revenues from retailers are recognized upon shipment or delivery of the goods to the retailers under payment terms of the sales contracts which are negotiated with select long term retailers, to assure reasonable collectibility.

The Company provides its distributors and retailers the right to return products due to package damage and shelf-life expiration. The majority of the Company’s products carry shelf lives of 18 to 24 months and most of them are sold during the shelf lives. Product returns due to damage and expiration, if any, are charged against current sales revenues. The arrangement meets the revenue recognition criteria under FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.48 “Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists

For new product offerings, the Company grants its distributors and retailers the same rights to return products due to package damage and shelf-life expiration, and these returns are deducted from revenue for the reporting period. The Company monitors over time each product line, including new product offerings, to track the pattern of sales returns and considers if sales return reserves are necessary.

On top of standard distributor pricing arrangements, the Company provides its larger distributors with a growth-based incentive mechanism that ties incremental discounts to the levels of incremental sales growth attained in the corresponding periods. Qualified discounts are accrued in the corresponding periods during which the sales growth materialized. The cost of this policy is treated as discount and is charged against sales revenue of the corresponding period.

Most of the Company’s products are shipped to the distributors upon receipt of payment directly from them, and thus assume title of the products immediately. No single customer constitutes a significant distributor to the Company by commanding more than 3% of its total sales.
 
14


The Company does not employ any sales incentive programs aimed at inducing sales to customers that result in excess inventory levels. The practice of the Company’s standard cash in advance revenue arrangement with distributors also discourages customers from accumulating excessive inventory beyond their normal business needs.

Construction in progress
 
Construction in progress represents direct costs of construction or acquisition and design fees incurred. Capitalization of these costs ceases and the construction in progress is transferred to plant and equipment when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. No depreciation is provided until it is completed and ready for intended use.

The capitalized interest accrued up to the three and nine months ended December 31, 2006 was $74,109 and $222,210, respectively, associated with construction in progress

Intangible assets

Intangible assets represent computer software and applications. Intangible assets are measured initially at cost. Intangible assets are recognized if it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the enterprise and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.

The intangible assets were $448,486 and $426,430, less accumulated amortization of $231,649 and $161,888 at December 31, 2006 and March 31, 2006, respectively.
 
Government subsidies

Subsidies from the government are recognized at their fair values when received or there is reasonable assurance that they will be received, and all attached conditions are complied with. The Subsidies from the government were $1,408,630 and $65,677 during the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and were $4,498,493 and $712,953 during the nine months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
Related parties

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities.

Foreign currency translation
 
The Company maintains its books and accounting records in Renminbi ("RMB"), the PRC's currency, being the functional currency. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the reporting currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the reporting currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Income and expenditures are translated at the average exchange rate of this term.
 
In July 2005, the PRC began to value the RMB against a basket of currencies of its major trading partners, including the U.S. This measure has allowed the RMB to fluctuate within a narrow band vis á vis the U.S. dollars. Since the adoption of this managed flexible exchange rate policy, the RMB has been under pressure to appreciate against the U.S. dollar. This has affected changes in the foreign currency translation over the reporting period and is reflected in the other comprehensive income of $892,788 and $172,596 for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and of $1,545,764 and $816,601 for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results when ultimately realized could differ from those estimates.
 
Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying value of financial instruments including cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses and debt, approximates their fair value at December 31, 2006 and 2005 due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments.

Shipping and handing

All shipping and handling are expensed as incurred and outbound freight is not billed to customers. Shipping and handling expenses are included in selling and distribution expenses. The expenses were $1,298,195 and $461,928 during the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and were $2,903,530 and $1,578,107 during the nine months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Advertising costs and promotion expenses

Advertising costs and promotion include salaries for all salesmen and are expensed as incurred. The advertising costs and promotion expenses were $13,216,811 and $4,809,094 for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and were $31,785,677 and $16,264,655 during the nine months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
16


Employees’ benefits

Mandatory contributions are made to the Government's health, retirement benefit and unemployment schemes at the statutory rates in force during the period, based on gross salary payments. The cost of these payments is charged to the statement of income in the same period as the related salary cost.

Comprehensive income

The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS No. 130"). SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. SFAS No. 130 defines comprehensive income to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners, including adjustments to minimum pension liabilities, accumulated foreign currency translation, and unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities. The comprehensive income was $5,084,630 and $3,950,214 for the three months ended December31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and was $21,387,600 and $7,655,141 during the nine months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in 2005 have been reclassified to conform with the 2006 presentation. 

3. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade receivable. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations with respect to the financial condition of its creditors, but does not require collateral. In order to determine the value of the Company’s accounts receivable, the Company records a provision for doubtful accounts to cover probable credit losses. Management reviews and adjusts this allowance periodically based on historical experience and its evaluation of the collectibility of outstanding accounts receivable. The Company is exposed to the following risk factors:

(i) Credit risks - The Company has policies in place to ensure that sales of products are made to customers with an appropriate credit history. The Company also has a concentration of credit risk due to geographic sales as a majority of its products are marketed and sold in the PRC.
 
(ii) Liquidity risks - Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and ability to close out market positions.

(iii) Interest rate risk - The interest rate and terms of repayments of short-term and long-term bank borrowings are approximately 5% per annum. The Company's income and cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates. The Company has no significant interest-bearing assets. The Company's policy is to maintain all of its borrowings in fixed rate instruments.

4. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

FIN 48
 
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This interpretation requires that the Company recognize in its financial statements the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 which is the beginning of the Company’s fiscal 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on its financial statements.

SAB 108
 
In September, 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”) which provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006 and early application is encouraged for any interim period of the first fiscal year ending after that date. The Company will adopt SAB 108 in the 4th quarter of its fiscal 2007 and is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SAB 108 on its financial statements.

FAS 157
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Defining Fair Value Measurement” (“FAS 157”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which is the Company’s fiscal 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FAS 157 on its financial statements.

FAS 158
 
In September 2006, the FASB also issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158 “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FAS Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)” (“FAS 158”). FAS 158 requires an employer to recognize the over-funded or under-funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity. This statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. The Company will be required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006, which for the Company will be the end of fiscal 2007. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer's fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008, or fiscal 2009 for the Company. The Company does not currently have a defined benefit pension plan but is currently evaluating the possible impact of adopting FAS 158 on its financial statements.

SEC Staff’s letter regarding accounting for stock options under APB 25
 
In September 2006, SEC issued a Staff letter regarding several common errors in the past practices related to the granting of stock options under APB 25 “Accounting to Stock Issued to Employees”. This letter provided guidance on what constitutes an error and how to correct them. The Company has not granted stock options and therefore this new pronouncement is not applicable.

10. INTANGIBLES

Intangible assets represent computer software and applications. Intangible assets are measured initially at cost. Intangible assets are recognized if it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the enterprise and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any impairment losses. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives.

Intangible assets consist of the follow:

13. NET INCOME PER SHARE (EPS)

SFAS 128 “Earnings Per Share” requires the Company to calculate its net income per share based on basic and diluted net income per share, as defined. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. The dilutive effect of outstanding options and warrants, if exists, will be reflected in diluted EPS using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, options and warrants will generally have a dilutive effect when the average market price of common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options.

The agreement, provided that the effective date of the transaction was when the Company received 60% of the non refundable subsidy of RMB 30,000,000 (approximately $3,800,000). This occurred during September 2006 and thus the assets were recorded during that period, notwithstanding that the official ownership certificates have not yet been obtained. The non refundable subsidy was received in two installments and was recorded in the periods received as subsidy income. The acquisition was considered immaterial since the acquired assets only comprise approximately 5% of the Company’s total assets. No additional disclosures are deemed necessary in this filing.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Three Months Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2005
 
Sales
 
Sales for the three months ended December 31, 2006 increased by $12,844,312 or 29% to $56,649,606 from $43,805,294 for the three months ended December 31, 2005.

Increase in volume of products sold was due in part to greater market penetration as a result of various measures including changes made by management to incentive programs and policies affecting the Synutra sales system. Such changes enhanced sales force productivity through targeted resource allocation down to the store level, and strengthened promotional efforts in the medium sized city markets and rural markets of China by aligning bonuses with sales performance.

The sales of traditional main products, such as the dairy based nutritional products for infants, children and adults under its brand names of Super, U-Smart, U-Strong, and National Standards, mostly contributed to the increasing trend of revenue. The total revenue also included sales generated from processing and packaging of nutritional supplement ingredients, anhydrous milk-fat, non-fat dry milk, and toll packaging and blending services.

a.
The tons sold of traditional main products increased to 7,331 tons in the three months ended December 31, 2006 from 5,160 tons in the three months ended December 31, 2005, resulting in an increase of $11,365,575 in gross sales

b.
Higher average selling price also contributed to the increase in sales. For the three months ended December 31, 2006, the average selling price of the Company’s traditional main products increased from $5,236 to $5,923 per ton, resulting in an increase of $3,547,407 in gross sales.

c.
Sales growth attributable to the combined factors of the increase of the volume and the price was $1,492,195.

d.
New product launches contributed $4,826,695 to gross sales for the three months ended December 31, 2006, reflecting a net increase of $1,958,930 in new product contributions over the amount of $2,867,765 for the same three months the year before.

e.
Revenue generated from ancillary products and services included sales of dairy and other ingredients and packaging materials to industry customers, and toll drying, packaging and blending services which amounted to $8,398,263 and $13,918,058 for the three months ended December 31 of 2006 and 2005 respectively. The decrease of $5,519,795 partially offset the sales growth as discussed above.
 
The decrease in revenue from ancillary product and services for the three months ended December 31, 2006 was a result of tight market supply of dairy ingredients and reduction in our excess production capacities available for other industry customers.

For the three months ended December 31, 2006, the Company generated approximately 98.05% of its traditional main products sales revenue of $43 million through its wholesale distributor networks and about 1.05% through supermarket retailers. Of the traditional main products sales revenue of $27 million generated for the three months period ended December 31, 2005, about 98.84% was from distributors and about 1.16% from supermarket retailers.

Management believes that the overall infant formula industry in China has grown faster than its traditional natural growth due to increased consumer recognition and acceptance of the products, especially Synutra’s name-brand products. Management believes Synutra name brand product lines have gained recognition in the marketplaces where it operates and thus has captured a greater portion of the increased growth experienced by the industry. In addition, management believes premium products with a higher margin have grown faster in the period across the industry.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales for the three months ended December 31, 2006 decreased to $27,721,449 from $27,930,627 for the three months ended December 31, 2005.

The cost of traditional main products for the three months ended December 31, 2006 increased to $15,029,170 from $11,228,984 for the three months ended December 31, 2005. The increase of $3,800,186 was a result of increases in purchases of raw materials and other ingredients, as well as increases in processing expenses, all in proportion to the production volume increases. Among the $3,800,186 increase related to the traditional main products, the increase of 2,171 tons sold of the traditional main products resulted in a $4,723,403 cost increase. The average cost per unit decreased by $126 per metric ton, resulting in a $923,218 cost decrease for the three months ended December 31, 2006. The decrease was due to the Company’s continuous effort in improving the formula mix in additional to achieving economics of scale.

The launch of new products accounted for an increase of $2,122,096 in the total cost of sales for the three months ended December 31, 2006 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2005. 

The total cost of sales also included costs associated with processing and packaging of nutritional supplement ingredients, anhydrous milk-fat, non-fat dry milk, and toll packaging and blending services which decreased $6,131,460 to $7,929,486 for the three months ended December 31,2006 from $14,060,946 in the same period prior year. This cost decrease was in proportion to the level of business activities in these areas.

The increase was due to the hiring of additional sales personnel in response to expanding business and greater market penetration. In the meantime shipping and handling expenses increased by $836,268 from $461,928 in the three months ended December 31, 2005 to $1,298,195 in the three months ended December 31, 2006, proportionate to the increase in sales; and travel expenses increased by $152,453 from $383,418 in the three months ended December 31, 2005 to $535,961 in the three months ended December 31, 2006.

We believe our existing cash, cash from operations and credit facilities at December 31, 2006 are adequate to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We do not have any special purpose entities or off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of December 31, 2006, the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)), which are designed to ensure that material information we are required to disclose in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within required time periods. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate to allow timely decision regarding required disclosures. We have concluded, based on that evaluation, that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that material information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated, recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
In light of the number of amendments to the Company’s filings, we have updated our assessment of the disclosure controls and procedures. We continue to believe that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in capturing material transactions and events and communicating such to the Company’s officers in support of their timely decision making with regard to disclosure. In filing our first 10-KSB and subsequent amendments, the Company had been adjusting to the regulatory environment in the U.S. Most of the restatements had been resultant of adjustments in understanding or interpretation of regulatory rules, in anticipation of investor needs and expectations. Since October, 2006, the Company has engaged a U.S. CPA with expertise and competence in U.S. GAAP as well as Exchange Act filings, to further strengthen its financial reporting team, to assist the Company with U.S. GAAP compliance, and to ensure that material information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated, recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In addition, the Company is implementing a “Section 404” compliance program in anticipation of the requirement for management attestation and auditor report on controls and procedures that will become applicable to the Company for the next fiscal year.
