ITEM 8-A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, Mary
A. Grace, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Ms. Grace concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, which were completely inadequate only months ago, had begun to show signs of substantial improvement. Ms. Grace further concluded that within one additional operating quarter, our disclosure controls and procedures are expected to be effective: (i) in timely alerting the Company to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC reports; and (ii) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we intend to file or submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

Changes in Internal Controls

We made no significant changes in our evolving internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses, subsequent to the date of the evaluation of those controls by our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer.
