ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures", as such term is defined under Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e),
that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management
recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of
achieving the desired control objectives and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the
cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. We have carried out an evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by
this report, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon their
evaluation and subject to the foregoing, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls
and procedures were effective in ensuring that material information relating to us is made known to the Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer by others within the Company during the period in which this report was being prepared.
