Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
|
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by Apollo in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial statements. The statements consist
solely of the management company, Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. prior to August
1, 2008. Commencing with the Company’s third quarter on August 1,
2008, and concurrent with the execution of the Management Services Agreement,
the statements reflect the consolidation of AMM and AMH , in accordance with
EITF 97-2, Application of FASB Statement No. 94 and APB Opinion No. 16 to
Physician Management Entities and Certain Other Entities with Contractual
Management Agreements . In management’s opinion, all adjustments, consisting of
normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the results
of the interim periods are reflected herein. Operating results for the nine
month period ended October 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of future
financial results.
The
condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted
by Form 10-Q and do not contain all of the information that is included in the
annual financial statements and notes of the Company. The condensed consolidated
financial statements and notes presented herein should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2009
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period.
Reclassification
Certain
comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform to the nine month
periods ended October 31, 2009 and 2008.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
Statement
of financial accounting standard No. 107(ASC 825), Disclosures about fair value
of financial instruments, requires that the Company disclose estimated fair
values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statements
of financial position for assets and liabilities qualifying as financial
instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Credit
and Supply Risk
The
Company’s case rate and capitation revenues, reported by Apollo’s affiliate,
AMH, are governed by contractual agreements with medical groups/IPA’s and
hospitals. As a result, receivables from this business are generally
fully collected. The Company does face issues related to the timing of these
collections, and the Company must assess the level of earned but uncollected
revenue to which it is entitled at each period end. The Company does face
collection issues with regard to its fee-for-service revenues. One is the
estimation of the amount to be received from each billing since the Company
invoices on a Medicare schedule and each of many providers remits payment on a
reduced schedule. The Company has to estimate the amount it will
ultimately receive from each billing and properly record revenue. With a wide
variety of contract terms and providers, the Company’s revenue is not
concentrated or dependent on a specific contract. No individual
contract with our clients provides more than 20 percent of reported
revenues.

Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1, (ASC 825), and APB
28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” This FSP
essentially expands the disclosure about fair value of financial instruments
that were previously required only annually to also be required for interim
period reporting. In addition, the FSP requires certain additional disclosures
regarding the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair
value of financial instruments. These additional disclosures will be required
beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2009. The Company is
currently evaluating the requirements of these additional
disclosures.
In
June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of
Financial Assets — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“SFAS 166”),
(ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing),which requires additional information
regarding transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions,
and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred
financial assets. SFAS 166 eliminates the concept of a “qualifying
special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial
assets, and requires additional disclosures. SFAS 166 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2009.
In
June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB
Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS 167”), (ASC 810, Consolidation),which
modifies how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently
capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be
consolidated. SFAS 167 clarifies that the determination of whether a company is
required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s
purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the
entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. SFAS
167 requires an ongoing reassessment of whether a company is the primary
beneficiary of a variable interest entity. SFAS 167 also requires additional
disclosures about a company’s involvement in variable interest entities and any
significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. SFAS 167 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009.
In June
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification
TM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“SFAS No.
168”), (ASC 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles),which becomes
effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending
after September 15, 2009. SFAS No. 168 replaces SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS No. 168 identifies the sources of
accounting principles and the framework for selecting principles used in the
preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are
presented in conformity with US GAAP (the GAAP hierarchy).
Stock-based
compensation
On
October 17, 2006 the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R (ASC 718), “Share-Based
Payment, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.” As of the date of this report
the Company has no stock based incentive plan in effect.
Basic
and Diluted Earnings Per Share
Earnings
per share is calculated in accordance with the Statement of financial accounting
standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128, ASC 260), “Earnings per share”. SFAS No. 128
superseded Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.15 (APB 15). Net income (loss)
per share for all periods presented has been restated to reflect the adoption of
SFAS No. 128. Basic net income per share is based upon the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share is
based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options
were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock
method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at
the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if
funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market
price during the period.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Cash and
cash equivalents was at $863,394 include cash in bank representing the Company’s
current operating account and $809,934 in a brokerage money market account, as
of October 31, 2009, representing the net proceeds of the recently completed
private placement.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes Case Rate, Hourly and Capitation revenue when persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists, service has been rendered, the service rate
is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonable assured. Fee
for Service revenues are recorded at amounts reasonably assured to be collected.
The determination of reasonably assured collections is based on historical Fee
for Service collections as a percent of billings. The provisions are adjusted to
reflect actual collections in subsequent periods.
8
The
estimation and the reporting of patient responsibility revenues is highly
subjective and depends on the payer mix, contractual reimbursement rates,
collection experiences, judgment and other factors. The Company’s fee
arrangements are with various payers, including managed care organizations,
hospitals, insurance companies, individuals, Medicare and Medicaid.
3.
|
Uncertainty
of ability to continue as a going
concern
|
The
Company's financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted
accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the
realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of
business. However, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $1,231,036 as of
October 31, 2009. Net Cash Flow used by Operating Activities for the
nine months ended October 31, 2009 was $188,126.
The
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of liabilities that might be necessary
should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
To date
the Company has funded its operations from both internally generated cash flow
and external sources, and the proceeds available from the recently completed
private placement provide funds for near-term operations and growth. The Company
will pursue additional external capitalization opportunities, as necessary, to
fund its long-term goals and objectives.

net of a provision for bad debt expense of $16,418, and represents amounts

10%
Senior Subordinated Callable Convertible Notes due January 31, 2013
On
October 16, 2009, the Company issued $1,250,000 of its 10% Senior Subordinated
Callable Convertible Notes. The net proceeds of $1,100,000 will be used for the
repayment of existing debt, acquisitions, physician recruitment and other
general corporate purposes. The notes bear interest at a rate of 10% annually,
payable semi annually on January 31 and July 31. The Notes mature and become due
and payable on January 31, 2013 and rank senior to all other unsecured debt of
the Company.
The 10%
Notes were sold through a private placement in the form of a Unit. Each Unit was
comprised of one 10% Senior Subordinated Callable Note with a par value $25,000,
and one five-year warrant to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company’s common
stock. The purchase price of each Unit was $25,000, resulting in gross proceeds
of $1,250,000.
12
In
connection with the private placement, the Company paid a commission of $125,000
and $25,000 representing a non-accountable expense fee. The placement
agent also received five-year warrants to purchase up to 250,000 shares of the
Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $0.25 per share. The
placement agent also received 100,000 shares of restricted common stock for
pre-transaction advisory and due diligence. The commission of $125,000 paid at
closing is accounted for as a prepaid expense and will be amortized over a
forty-month period through January 31, 2013, the maturity date of the
notes. The $25,000 of transaction related costs were expensed and
reported as financing costs in the Operating Statement. Interest
expense of $9,889 was recorded in the quarter ended October 31,
2009.
The 10%
Notes are convertible any time prior to January 31, 2013. The initial conversion
rate is 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock per $25,000 principal
amount of the 10% Notes (Subject to certain events). This represents an initial
conversion price of $0.125 per share of the Company’s common stock.
On or
after January 31, 2012, the Company may, at its option, upon 60 days notice to
both the Note-holder’s and the placement agent, redeem all or a portion of the
notes at a redemption price in cash equal to 102% of the principal amount of the
notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the
redemption date.
The
Warrants attached to the Units are exercisable into shares of Common Stock at an
initial exercise price of $0.125. The Warrants have a five-year
term and expire on October 31, 2014. These warrants were estimated to have a
fair value of $7,442 using the Black-Scholes pricing model which was recorded as
unamortized warrant discount in the quarter ended October 31, 2009.

31, 2009. These warrants have an exercise price of $0.25 per share, are

LLC (Kyle Francis) under which Mr. Francis would become the Company’s Executive
Vice President, Business Development and Strategy. Under the terms of the
Agreement, Mr. Francis will be paid $8,000 per month. In addition,
Mr. Francis received 350,000 shares of restricted stock at the date of the

terminated. The initial 350,000 shares, along with 50,000 shares
granted to Mr. Francis in the year ended January 2009, were issued in the third
quarter ended October 31, 2009.
On
September 4, 2008, Apollo Medical Management, Inc. executed an employment
agreement with Jilbert Issai, M.D., to provide services as Senior Vice
President. The agreement is for an initial one-year term with
provision for successive one-year periods. Under the agreement,
Doctor Issai is entitled to a nominal salary and may be granted options to
purchase an aggregate of 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an
exercise price of $.10 per share when and if the Company is to adopt a stock
compensation plan.
On
October 27, 2008, the Company entered into a Board of Director’s Agreement with
Suresh Nihalani. The Company will issue a stock award of 400,000
shares to Mr. Nihalani, under the terms of the Director’s Agreement, which
shares will be issued ratably over a thirty-six month period commencing December
2008. The shares will be released to Mr. Nihalani on a monthly basis
during his tenure as a Director. The distribution of shares will
continue as long as Mr. Nihalani serves on the Board, but
will cease when Mr. Nihalani is no longer is a Director. Mr. Nihalani was
issued 11,111 shares under this agreement in the year ended January 31, 2009 and
66,666 shares in the quarter ended October 31, 2009. In addition,
44,444 shares have been accrued as shares to be issued as a liability in the
accompanying financial statements.
The
Company received a claim for $250,000 relating to amounts purportedly owed by
the Company as a result of the initial reverse acquisition
transaction. This dispute relates to the initial letter dated June 3,
2008. The terms of the letter of intent call for, among other things,
the payment of cash of $250,000 within 60 days of closing. The letter
of intent states, however, that it is intended to serve as a memorandum of the
Parties current discussions, and that a definitive transaction agreement will
follow. The letter of intent further states that both parties
acknowledge that all provisions of the letter of intent are non binding, and
that no contract or agreement providing for a transaction shall be deemed to
exist unless and until a final agreement has been negotiated and
executed. The final merger agreement that was executed contains a
clause that it is the “entire agreement” and thus supersedes all previous
agreements including the letter of intent; moreover, management contends that
there are no additional amounts owed under the final merger agreement. The
Company has not accrued for any amount asserted in the above claim as the
attorney of the Company has advised that the claim is in its early stage and the
outcome of this matter could not be predicted at this stage.

structures from health plans, medical groups/IPA’s and hospitals, and income
from service fee agreements. Net revenues of $479,808 in the third quarter of
2008 were solely fee based billings; there was no service fee income in
2008.
Physician
practice salaries, benefits and other expenses for the three months ended
October 31, 2009 were $455,183, at 74% of net revenues compared to
$488,605 for the three months ended October 31, 2008, at 102% of net
revenues. Cost of Services includes the payroll and consulting costs
of the physicians, all payroll related costs, costs for all medical malpractice
insurance and physician privileges. The Company had seven physicians under

18
General
and administrative expenses include all salaries, benefits, supplies and
operating expenses not specifically related to the day-to-day operations of our
physician group practices, including billing and collections
functions, and our corporate management and overhead. General and
administrative expenses decreased $139,297, or 50%, to $139,557, at 23% of net
revenues, for the three months ended October 31, 2009. General and
Administrative expenses were $278,854 for the three months ended October 31,
2008, at 58% of net revenues.. The decrease in general and
administrative expenses resulted from the absence in 2009 of $121,677 of
non-cash compensation recorded in the third quarter of 2008. In
addition, legal fees of $18,635 in the quarter just ended were well below legal
fees of $77,724 reported in the third quarter of 2008. The absence of
these costs in 2009 was partially offset by higher costs incurred to support the
continuing growth of our operations, including the full period costs of our
Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President of Business Development
& Strategy. The Company incurred $19,500 one time Legal and Accounting
expenses in connection with its issuance of 10% Senior Subordinated Callable
Convertible Notes in the quarter ended October 31, 2009.
Depreciation
and amortization expense was $9,622 for the three months ended October 31, 2009,
and $9,996 for the comparable three-month period in 2008.
The
Company reported an income from operations of $12,613 for the three months
ended October 31, 2009, compared to a loss from operations of
$297,647 recorded in the same period of 2008. In 2009, net revenues
benefitted from the addition of several contracts with hospitals and the hiring
of several additional physicians. In addition, operating income
benefitted from the absence in 2009 of non-cash compensation costs and residual
legal fees from the Siclone transaction which negatively impacted the third
quarter of 2008.
Interest
expense and financing costs totaled $40,738 for the three months ended
October 31, 2009, as compared to interest and financing costs of $28,856
for the three months ended October 31, 2008. Interest expense in 2009
included interest on the convertible notes, related party notes, the business
credit line and the loan with Wells Fargo Bank, and a partial month interest on
the convertible notes from the private placement. The financing cost of $25,000
in 2009 was a due diligence fee due the placement agent on completion of the
private placement. Interest expense in 2008 represents interest expense on the
loan with Wells Fargo Bank. Financing cost in the third quarter of 2008 included
$13,500 of shares issued as financing cost and $10,000 for an origination
fee.
Net Loss
was $28,925 for the three months ended October 31, 2009, compared to a
net loss of $326,503 for the three months ended October 31,
2008. The reduction in the net loss was the result of the factors
discussed above.
Nine
Months Ended October 31, 2009 vs. Nine Months Ended October 31,
2008
Apollo
reported revenues of $1,699,100 for the nine months ended October 2009, compared
to revenues of $499,603 in the comparable nine month period ended October

2008, prior to the execution of the Management Services Agreement on August 1,
2008, the Company could only report management fees charged to its affiliate,
AMH. Subsequent to August 1, 2008, revenues represent the billings by AMH under
the various fee structures from health plans, medical groups/IPA’s and
hospitals. Management fee revenues have been eliminated subsequent to August 1,
2008. Consequently, net revenues in 2008 include the full third quarter of AMH
revenues and two prior quarters of management service fee income totaling
$19,795 reported by AMM.
Physician
practice salaries, benefits and other expenses were $1,262,430 for the nine
months ended October 2009, compared to $531,411 for the corresponding nine
months ended October 2008. Cost of Services were 74 % of net revenues in the
nine months ended October 2009, and 106% of revenues for the nine month period
ended October 2008. Cost of Services in 2008 included the third quarter of
consolidated costs and $42,806 of costs recorded by AMM prior to the execution
of the Management Agreement executed on August 1, 2008. Cost of
Services includes the payroll and consulting costs of the physicians, all
payroll related costs, costs for all medical malpractice insurance and physician
privileges.
19
General
and administrative expenses were $434,225 in the nine months ended October 2009,
down $247,008, or 36 %, from general and administrative costs of
$681,233 in the nine months ended October 31, 2008. These expenses
represented 26 % of revenues in nine months just ended. The decrease
in General and Administrative costs from 2008 to 2009 was due to the absence in
2009 of $278,348 of costs related to the Siclone Merger which occurred in July
2009. This reduction in costs was partially offset by higher
public-company expenses and costs related to the continuing
growth of our operations, including the full period costs of our Chief Financial
Officer and Vice President of Business Development in 2009. The Company incurred
$19,500 one time Legal and Accounting expenses in connection with its issuance
of 10% Senior Subordinated Callable Convertible Notes in the quarter ended
October 31, 2009.The Company recorded non-cash compensation expenses totaling
$101,455, related to the issuance of shares for service in the nine months ended
October 31, 2009. The company recorded $153,545 for shares issued and to be
issued for compensation and financing costs in the nine months ended October
2008.

October 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Company reported a Loss from Operations of $27,852 for the nine month period
ended October 31, 2009, compared to a Loss from Operations of $723,037 for
the comparable nine months ended October 31, 2008. The
decrease in the Loss from Operations of $ 695,185 from 2008 to 2009 was due to
the absence of the costs incurred on the Siclone transaction which occurred in
2008, and a decrease of $257,931 in costs of shares granted and to be granted
for services from 2008 to 2009.
Interest
expense and financing costs were $50,546 for the nine months ended October 31,
2009, compared to interest and financing expenses of $28,856 for the nine
months ended October 31, 2008. Interest expense in 2009 included
interest on the convertible notes, related party notes, the bank line
and bank credit lines with Wells Fargo Bank, and a partial month of interest on
the convertible notes from the private placement. The financing cost
of $25,000 in 2009 was a due diligence fee due the placement agent on completion
of the private placement. Interest expense in 2008 represent interest expense on
the loan with Wells Fargo Bank. Financing cost in the third quarter of 2008
included $13,500 of shares issued as financing cost and $10,000 for an
origination fee.
The
Company reported a net loss of $ 79,998 for the nine months ended
October 31, 2009, down $672,695 from the net loss of $752,693 for the nine
months ended October 31, 2008. The reduction in net loss from the
nine months ended October 2008 to October 2009 was primarily due to the Siclone
costs which negatively impacted 2008, the lower level shares granted for
compensation, coupled with the increased contribution from the
hospitalist services provided by AMH in 2009.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
At
October 31, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $863,394,

2009. Long-term borrowings totaled $1,240,358 as of October 31, 2009,
compared to long-term borrowings of $231,218 on January 31, 2009.
Net cash
used in operating activities totaled $186,126 in the nine months ended October
31, 2009, compared to net cash used in operations of $429,743 for the comparable
nine months ended October 31, 2008. The significantly smaller
operating loss in 2009 was primarily responsible for the improvement in the
operating cash flow.
Net cash
used in operating activities for the nine months in 2009 of $186,126 was
comprised of a net loss of $79,998 for the nine month period, and adjustments
for non-cash charges which include depreciation, bad debt expense and shares
issued, or to be issued, for service totaling $146,349. Also, net changes in
operating assets and liabilities used cash of $254,477.
We did
not spend any cash for investing activities in the nine months ended October
2009 and 2008. The $69,510 reported as investment in property and
equipment during the nine months ended October 2008, represented the net asset
position in this category at AMH which was consolidated into AMM on the
execution of the Management Services Fee Agreement as of August 1,
2008.
For the
nine months ended October 31, 2009, net cash provided from financing activities
was $967,358, compared to $603,000 provided by financing activities for the same
period in 2008. During the nine months ended October 2009, the Company completed
the private placement with Syndicated Capital which provided proceeds of
$1,240,358, net of the warrant discounts totaling $9,642. Concurrent
with the receipt of these proceeds, the Company retired the business loan with
Wells Fargo Bank of $ 198,000, on October 27, 2009, and the related party
convertible note in the amount of $75,000 on October 22, 2009.
In 2008,
the Company issued 670,000 shares for $335,000 and borrowed $70,000 from a party
related to the CEO of the Company. In addition, the Company, with the
consolidation of AMH, recorded the $198,000 balance on the Wells Fargo Business
Loan as of October 31, 2008.
Credit
Facility and Liquidity
The
Company's Business Line with Wells Fargo Bank provides a revolving line of
credit of $70,000, and is linked to the AMH bank account. The line can be used
for short-term working capital needs and provides overdraft protection. The line
cannot be used for letters of credit.
We
continue to search for investment opportunities and anticipate that funds
generated from operations, together with our current cash on hand and funds
available under our revolving credit agreement will be sufficient to finance our
working capital requirements and fund anticipated acquisitions, contingent
acquisition consideration and capital expenditures.
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of
October 31, 2009, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
In
connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report, we carried out an
evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting
Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of
October 31, 2009, in accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the
Exchange Act.
Based on
that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and
Accounting Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures
were not effective as of October 31, 2009.
We have
identified the following three material weaknesses in our disclosure controls
and procedures:
1.
We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and
procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial
reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of
our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure
controls and procedures, and concluded that the control deficiency that resulted
represented a material weakness.
2.
We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions,
which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation
of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically
feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions,
the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by
separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to
have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and
procedures, and concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented
a material weakness.
3. We
do not have review and supervision procedures for financial reporting functions.
The review and supervision function of internal control relates to the accuracy
of financial information reported. The failure to review and supervise could
allow the reporting of inaccurate or incomplete financial information. Due to
our size and nature, review and supervision may not always be possible or
economically feasible. Management evaluated the impact of our significant
number of audit adjustments, and concluded that the control deficiency that
resulted represented a material weakness.
Based on
the foregoing materials weaknesses, we have determined that, as of October 31,
2009, that our disclosure controls and procedures are
insufficient. The Company continues to take steps to improve the
timeliness and accuracy of its financial information, including the hiring of
additional employees to facilitate proper segregation of duties. Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate disclosure
controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act,
and for assessing the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures.
It should be noted that any system of controls and procedures, however well
designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance
that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any
control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of
certain events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control
systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its
stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how
remote. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can
only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control
objectives.
22
Changes
in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There has
been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most
recently completed fiscal quarter (i.e., the three-month period ended October
31, 2009) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
