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.
