PART I

ITEM 1.                      DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

GENERAL

Exclusive Apparel, Inc., Inc. (“Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 8, 2006. Exclusive Apparel, Inc., Inc. is a developmental stage company with a principal business objective of offering premium baseball cap type headwear for women with exquisite taste and extravagant appetites as exclusive accessories to differentiate themselves.  Exclusive Apparel, Inc is committed to producing exclusive ball-type caps that are stylish and unique, and that cater to a more progressive clientele.  The company will focus on baseball hat type headwear before it expands to belts, handbags and other similar accessories.

Exclusive Apparel, Inc. is a development stage company that has not significantly commenced its planned principal operations. Exclusive Apparel, Inc. operations to date have been devoted primarily to startup and development activities, which include the following:

 
1.
Formation of the Company;

 
2.
Development of the Exclusive Apparel, Inc. business plan;

 
3.
Conducted research on potential markets;

 
4.
Identified contract designer, graphic artist, sewing manufacturer, screen printer and embroider to design and manufacturer our products.

 
5.
Formulated multi-faceted marketing plan and marketing campaign in an effort to introduce our products to the market on a broader scope;

 
6.
Formulated pilot programs for prospective markets;

 
7.
Finalized sketches and chose fabric and materials for initial pilot production;

 
8.
Identified appropriate distribution channels utilizing independent sales representatives and middlemen.

Exclusive Apparel, Inc., Inc. is attempting to become operational. In order to generate revenues, Exclusive Apparel, Inc. must address the following areas:

 
1.
Develop and Implement a Marketing Plan: In order to penetrate our targeted market, Exclusive Apparel, Inc. will use a multi-faceted marketing plan that includes a high-end website, exclusive catalogs, and a target specific marketing campaign directed to design consultants that cater to celebrities and higher-end income clients.
 
 

 
 
3

 


Phase II of the marketing effort will commence once we have gained recognition among celebrities and the more affluent fashionable consumer.  The phase II plan will consist of exploiting the appropriate distribution channels using independent representatives who are experienced in accessory sales to high-end boutiques and upscale department stores. These independent representatives work as middlemen between Exclusive Apparel and the retailer.  They are aggressive in that they will go directly to the retailers, work applicable trade shows, send samples and CAD sheets, and work directly with other accessory representatives to penetrate their desired retail accounts.  Independent Representatives are paid a commission that is typically 15% plus expenses.  Sales representatives will have a set monthly budget for samples and supplies provided by Exclusive Apparel.

 
2.
Tailoring our website: Exclusive Apparel, Inc. has secured a web site domain located at www\\exclusiveapparel.biz.  The site is currently under construction and upon securing additional funding, the Company has plans to enhance the web site.

Since our inception on September 8, 2006 to December 31, 2008, the Company did not generate any significant revenues and has incurred a cumulative net loss of $185,271. The Company believes that raising $150,000 through the sale of common equity is sufficient for the company to become operational and sustain operations through the next twelve (12) months. The capital raised has been budgeted to establish our infrastructure and to become a fully reporting company. We believe that the recurring revenues from sales of services eventually will be sufficient to support ongoing operations. Unfortunately, there can be no assurance that the actual expenses incurred will not materially exceed our estimates or that cash flow from sales will be adequate to maintain our business. As a result, our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in the independent auditors’ report to the financial statements included in the registration statement.

Exclusive Apparel, Inc., Inc. currently has one officer and one director. This individual allocates time and personal resources to Exclusive Apparel, Inc. on a part-time basis.

As of the date of this prospectus, Exclusive Apparel, Inc. has 37,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock issued and outstanding.

Exclusive Apparel, Inc., Inc. has administrative offices located at 6555 W. Gary Avenue, Las Vegas, Nevada 89139.

Exclusive Apparel, Inc., Inc.’s fiscal year end is December 31.

EMPLOYEES

We have no full time employees.  Sharon M. Lynch, our President, Secretary and Treasurer has agreed to allocate a portion of her time to our activities without compensation.

ITEM 2.                      DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

Exclusive Apparel, Inc. uses an administrative office located at 6555 W. Gary Avenue, Las Vegas, Nevada 89139. A family member provides the office space free of charge and no lease exists. There are currently no proposed programs for the renovation, improvement or development of the facilities currently use.

PART II

ITEM 5.                      MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

On December 31, 2008, there was one shareholder of record of our common stock.  Our shares of common stock have never been traded on any recognized stock exchange.

DIVIDENDS

We intend to retain future earnings to support our growth.  Any payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon: the amount of funds legally available therefore; our earnings; financial condition; capital requirements; and other factors which our Board of Directors deems relevant.

ITEM 7.                      MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Plan of Operation

On February 27, 2007 we received approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission of our Registration Statement on Form SB-2 wherein we registered 15,000,000 shares of our $.001 common stock in order to raise $150,000.00 as our initial capital prior to filing an application with the NASD on Form 211 to be listed on a public exchange.  To date we have raised the $147,000.00 and are working on completing and submitting the Form 211 to the NASD.

Results of Operation

We did not have any operating income from inception (September 8, 2006) through December 31, 2008.  For the year ended December 31, 2008, we recognized a net loss of $37,318.  Some general and administrative expenses during the quarter were accrued.  Expenses for the quarter were comprised of costs mainly associated with legal, accounting, and office.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2008, we had no capital resources and will rely upon the issuance of common stock and additional capital contributions from shareholders to fund administrative expenses.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors
Exclusive Apparel, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Exclusive Apparel, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and from inception on September 8, 2006 through December 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conduct our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Exclusive Apparel, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and from inception on September 8, 2006 through December 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $185,271, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 1.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carry forwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
 
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial statement purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.  Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax liabilities and assets as of December 31, 2008 are as follows:

Deferred tax assets:
     
  Net operating loss
  $ 185,271  
Income tax rate
    34 %
      62,992  
Less valuation allowance
    (62,992 )
    $ -  

Through December 31, 2008, a valuation allowance has been recorded to offset the deferred tax assets, including those related to the net operating losses.  At December 31, 2008, the Company had approximately $185,000 of federal and state net operating losses.  The net operating loss carryforwards, if not utilized will begin to expire in 2025.

Note 1.  Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies -continued
 
Reconciliations of the U.S. federal statutory rate to the actual tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2008 is as follows:

   
2008
 
       
U.S. federal statutory income tax rate
    34.0 %
State tax - net of federal benefit
    0.0 %
      34.0 %
Increase in valuation allowance
    (34.0 %)
     Effective tax rate
    0.0 %

Net loss per common share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share (SFAS 128) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 (SAB 98).  Under the provisions of SFAS 128 and SAB 98, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  The calculation of diluted net loss per share gives effect to common stock equivalents; however, potential common shares are excluded if their effect is antidilutive.
 
Comprehensive income
The Company accounts for comprehensive income (loss) in accordance with SFAS No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive income" which requires comprehensive income (loss) and its components to be reported when a company has items of comprehensive income (loss).  Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) plus other comprehensive income (loss). There are no differences or reconciling items between net income and comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
 
Note 2. Concentration of credit risk

A significant amount of the Company’s assets and resources are dependent on the financial support of the shareholders, should the shareholders determine to no longer finance the operations of the company, it may be unlikely for the company to continue.
 
The Company maintains its cash in institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).  This government corporation insured balances up to $100,000 through October 13, 2008.  As of October 14, 2008 all non-interest bearing transaction deposit accounts at an FDIC-insured institution, including all personal and business checking deposit accounts that do not earn interest, are fully insured for the entire amount in the deposit account.  This unlimited insurance coverage is temporary and will remain in effect for participating institutions until December 31, 2009.

All other deposit accounts at FDIC-insured institutions are insured up to at least $250,000 per depositor until December 31, 2009.  On January 1, 2010, FDIC deposit insurance for all deposit accounts, except for certain retirement accounts, will return to at least $100,000 per depositor.  Insurance coverage for certain retirement accounts, which include all IRA deposit accounts, will remain at $250,000 per depositor.

Note 3. Property and equipment

As of December 31, 2008 the Company does not own any property and/or equipment.

Note 4. Stockholders’ equity

The Company has 70,000,000 shares authorized and 37,000,000 shares issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2008.  The issued and outstanding shares were as follows:

On January 12, 2007 the Company issued 20,000,000 common shares at $0.002 par value to Sharon M. Lynch, the Company’s president/ shareholder for services provided.
 
The Company initiated a Private Placement in March 2007 for the sale of 15,000,000 shares of common stock to investors at $0.01 per share.  As of April 30, 2007, all subscriptions have been received from 28 investors, raising $148,500 in proceeds, net of $1,500 of offering costs. There were no common stocks issued during 2008.

Note 5.  Related party transactions

On January 12, 2007, the Company issued 20,000,000 shares of common stock to its president/ shareholder for service provided valued at approximately $40,000.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company purchased $42,000 of inventories from LVNV Apparel, LLC, a company related by common ownership.

During the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 the Company paid consulting fee of $650 and $9,500, repsectively, to an individual related to a stockholder of the Company.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company paid officer’s compensation of $2,000 to its president/ shareholder for services provided.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, advance from shareholders was approximately $13,000.

Note 6. Newly issued pronouncements

In December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 110 regarding the use of a "simplified" method, as discussed in SAB No. 107 (SAB 107), in developing an estimate of expected term of "plain vanilla" share options in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (R), Share-Based Payment.  In particular, the staff indicated in SAB 107 that it will accept a company's election to use the simplified method, regardless of whether the company has sufficient information to make more refined estimates of expected term. At the time SAB 107 was issued, the staff believed that more detailed external information about employee exercise behavior (e.g., employee exercise patterns by industry and/or other categories of companies) would, over time, become readily available to companies. Therefore, the staff stated in SAB 107 that it would not expect a company to use the simplified method for share option grants after December 31, 2007. The staff understands that such detailed information about employee exercise behavior may not be widely available by December 31, 2007. Accordingly, the staff will continue to accept, under certain circumstances, the use of the simplified method beyond December 31, 2007. The Company currently uses the simplified method for “plain vanilla” share options and warrants, and will assess the impact of SAB 110 for fiscal year 2009. It is not believed that this will have an impact on the Company’s  financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 6. Newly issued pronouncements – continued

In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities, (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). FSP EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting, and therefore need to be included in the computation of earnings per share under the two-class method as described in FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and earlier adoption is prohibited. We are not required to adopt FSP EITF 03-6-1; neither do we believe that FSP EITF 03-6-1 would have material effect on our financial position and results of operations if adopted.

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts-and interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60”.  SFAS No. 163 clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement of premium revenue and claims liabilities. This statement also requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. SFAS No. 163 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. SFAS No. 163 has no effect on the Company’s financial position, statements of operations, or cash flows at this time.

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”.  SFAS No. 162 sets forth the level of authority to a given accounting pronouncement or document by category. Where there might be conflicting guidance between two categories, the more authoritative category will prevail. SFAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days after the SEC approves the PCAOB’s amendments to AU Section 411 of the AICPA Professional Standards. SFAS No. 162 has no effect on the Company’s financial position, statements of operations, or cash flows at this time.

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.  This standard requires companies to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company has not yet adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 161, but does not expect it to have a material impact on its  financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51.  This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. Before this statement was issued, limited guidance existed for reporting noncontrolling interests. As a result, considerable diversity in practice existed. So-called minority interests were reported in the consolidated statement of financial position as liabilities or in the mezzanine section between liabilities and equity. This statement improves comparability by eliminating that diversity. This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (that is, January 1, 2009, for entities with calendar year-ends). Earlier adoption is prohibited. The effective date of this statement is the same as that of the related Statement 141 (revised 2007). The Company will adopt this Statement beginning March 1, 2009. It is not believed that this will have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 6. Newly issued pronouncements – continued

In December 2007, the FASB, issued FAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations’.  This Statement replaces FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations, but retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141.  This Statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: (a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; (b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and (c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. An entity may not apply it before that date. The effective date of this statement is the same as that of the related FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements.  The Company will adopt this statement beginning March 1, 2009. It is not believed that this will have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB, issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.  This standard permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This option is available to all entities. Most of the provisions in FAS 159 are elective; however, an amendment to FAS 115 Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities applies to all entities with available for sale or trading securities. Some requirements apply differently to entities that do not report net income. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the previous fiscal year provided that the entity makes that choice in the first 120 days of that fiscal year and also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157 Fair Value Measurements.  The Company will adopt SFAS No. 159 beginning March 1, 2008 and is currently evaluating the potential impact the adoption of this pronouncement will have on its financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements  This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this statement will change current practice. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged, provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year, including financial statements for an interim period within that fiscal year. The Company will adopt this statement March 1, 2008, and it is not believed that this will have an impact on the Company’s  financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 7. Litigation
 
As of December 31, 2008, the Company is not aware of any current or pending litigation which may affect the Company’s operations.

ITEM 9.                      CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

Our accountant is Moore & Associates, Chartered, Certified Public Accountants.  We do not presently intend to change accountants.  At no time have there been any disagreements with such accountant regarding any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.

ITEM 9A.                   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Management’s Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:

 
-
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
 
-
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
 
-
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.  Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process.  Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

As of December 31, 2008 management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments.  Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below.  This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.


 
18

 

The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (3) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.  The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Executive Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of December 31, 2008.

Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2) and (3) above did not have an effect on our financial results.  However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Corporation's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Corporation's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Corporation to provide only the management's report in this annual report.

Management’s Remediation Initiatives

In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:

We will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us.  And, we plan to appoint one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to an audit committee resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management when funds are available to us.

Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board.

We anticipate that these initiatives will be at least partially, if not fully, implemented by September 30, 2009.  Additionally, we plan to test our updated controls and remediate our deficiencies by September 30, 2009.

ITEM 9B.         CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
