Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants On Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation required by the 1934 Act, under the supervision and with the participation of
our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of
our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this
evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls
and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our
periodic SEC reports. It should be noted that any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions
designed to obtain reasonable (and not absolute) assurance as to its effectiveness, and there can be no assurance
that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals.
During the most recent fiscal quarter, there has not occurred any change in our internal control over
financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.
