ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
Not applicable.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2008. The term “disclosure controls and
procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other
procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the
reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation,
controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that
it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management,
including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its
judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of
our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2008, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer
concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance
level.
Management’s report on our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)
under the Exchange Act) and the independent registered public accounting firm’s related audit report are included in
Item 8 of this Form 10-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
No change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fiscal quarter ended
December 31, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal
control over financial reporting.
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
Not applicable.
