EXPLANATORY NOTE

The purpose of this amendment is to revise certain portions of the information required by Part I of Form 10-Q for our fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2008, as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 14, 2008.





PART I


ITEM 4.                      Controls and Procedures

 
(a)       Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We have conducted an evaluation under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer (its principal executive officer and principal financial officers, respectively), regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2008. Based on the aforementioned evaluation, management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2008 because of the existence of two material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related to (i) our finance group’s inability to perform the testing of internal controls on financial reporting due to our limited number of personnel engaged in accounting and finance functions and a resulting lack in the segregation of duties, and (ii) the potential inability of our accounting staff to handle certain complex accounting issues.  Notwithstanding the existence of the material weakness described below, management has concluded that the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods and dates presented.
 
(b)       Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
 (i)               Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial reporting and financial statement preparation and presentation.
 
(ii)               We have assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO, in Internal Control—Integrated Framework.
 
(iii)               Two material weaknesses  were identified in our internal control over financial reporting relative to accounting for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The first material weakness was comprised of inadequate segregation of duties to ensure a sufficient review of the work performed by our Chief Accounting Officer (due to the limited number of personnel we retain as employees).  The second material weakness was the potential
 
 
1

 
inability of our accounting staff to handle certain complex accounting issues.   We believe a mitigating factor for this material weakness is the active participation of our Audit Committee.   These material weaknesses did not  result in the restatement of any previously reported financial statements or any other related financial disclosure nor did they disclose any errors or misstatements.
 
Because of the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2008. No other material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting were identified.
 
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
 
(c)       Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
No changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
(d)       Remediation Plan for Material Weakness
 
In response to the identified material weaknesses described above, our management, with oversight from our Audit Committee, intends to continue to enhance our internal control over financial reporting relative to accounting during this fiscal year as follows:
 
 
 
Interview and potentially retain third party consultants which may assist the Company’s accounting staff  in providing review and analysis of complex accounting issues, and
 
 
 
Engage additional expert resources to review material transactions so as to provide a review of what are otherwise unsegregated duties of finance and accounting staff.
