AMENDMENT
NO. 1 TO FORM 10-K
For
the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2007
Explanatory
Note
This
Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (“Amendment No. 1”) is being
filed to amend the Company’s Annual Report on From 10-K for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2007, previously filed on April 15, 2008 (the “Original
Filing”), in order to revise the disclosure relating to management’s conclusions
as to the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures
contained in Item 9A(T) of Part II of the Annual Report and revise the
certifications contained in Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to relate to the Company’s
internal controls over financial reporting. This Amendment No. 1 on Form10-K/A
continues to describe conditions as of the date of the Original Filing, and
we
have not updated the disclosures contained herein to reflect events that
occurred at a later date. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read
in
conjunction with the Company’s SEC filings made subsequent to the Original
Filing.
Item
9A(T).
Controls
and Procedures.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management
is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our internal control over financial
reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of the financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. This process includes those policies and procedures
that
(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately
and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only
in
accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii)
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have
a
material effect on our financial statements.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may
not
prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of the
internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to
risk
that the internal control may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may
deteriorate.
Our
management conducted an initial phase evaluation of the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in “Internal
Control - Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”), as of December 31, 2007. This
initial phase consisted of a top-down approach to risk assessment as provided
for by SEC guidance and did not identify any material weaknesses. However,
based
on the stage of completion of our assessment, in particular, the lack of the
testing phase of the operating effectiveness of our internal controls, our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer can only conclude
that our disclosure and controls procedures as of December 31, 2007 were not
effective.
The
Company was unable to complete the testing phase of the operating effectiveness
of our internal controls due to the unexpected departure of our Chief Financial
Officer and our controller going on medical leave. The Company secured the
services provide financial management while the Company aggressively searches
for a permanent CFO.
Since
the
completion of the internal control design phase of our evaluation of the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, we have been
working with our consulting firm to develop a plan which will be designed to
test the operating effectiveness of our internal controls. We anticipate that
this phase of the project will be completed by the end of 2008, in order to
be
in a position to provide a full and complete evaluation of the effectiveness
of
our internal control over financial reporting to be filed as part of the Form
10-K filing for the year ending December 31, 2008.
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered
public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s report was not subject to such attestation pursuant to temporary
rules of the SEC that require only management’s report.
Disclosure
controls and procedures
We
carried out our evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation
of
our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, of the effectiveness
of
our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered
by
this report, pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on that evaluation and the remaining
testing phase to be completed, our principal executive officer and principal
financial officer can only conclude that our disclosure controls and procedures
as of December 31, 2007 were not effective.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
has
been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during
the quarter ended December 31, 2007 that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial
reporting except as disclosed above.
