NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2010 AND 2009 (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1- BASIS OF
PRESENTAION
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to make the
financial statements not misleading have been included. Operating results for
the period ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the full year. The information included in this
Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and
Analysis and the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company’s 2009 Form 10-K.
NOTE
2-SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles
of Consolidation
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial
statements of Kingold Jewelry Inc. ("Kingold"), its wholly owned subsidiaries,
Dragon Lead Group Limited ("Dragon Lead") and Wuhan Vogue-Show Jewerly Co.,
Limited ("Wuhan Vogue-show") and Wuhan Kingold Jewelry Co., Limited ("Wuhan
Kingold"), its 95.83% contractually controlled affiliate. The noncontrolling
interests represent the minority stockholders' 4.17% proportionate share of the
results of Wuhan Kingold. All significant inter-company balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amount 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.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2-SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Cash and
cash equivalents include cash on hand and demand deposits with a bank with an
original maturity of less than three months.
Restricted
cash
The
Company's financing facilities require a minimum cash deposit as security in the
amount of $ 1,465,013 and $1,462,587 as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009
for borrowings outstanding under its demand financing facilities. The restricted
cash amount is classified as a current asset in the balance sheets since the
borrowings it secures are classified as current liabilities.
Accounts
Receivable
The
Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of
business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and
actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is
established and recorded based on managements' assessment of the credit history
with the customers and current relationships with them. As of March 31, 2010 and
December 31, 2009, there was no allowance recorded as the Company considers all
the accounts receivable fully collectible.
Inventories
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost or market value, cost being calculated on the
weighted average basis. The cost of inventories comprises all costs of
purchases, costs of fixed and variable production overheads and other costs
incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
The Company provides inventory allowances based on excess and obsolete
inventories determined principally by customer demand. No allowance for
inventories is considered necessary for the three months ended March 31, 2010
and 2009.
Property
and equipment
Property
and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures
for additions, major renewals and betterments are capitalized and expenditures
for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Long-lived
assets
The
Company accounts for long-lived assets under the FASB Codification Topic 360
(ASC Topic 360) "Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" and
"Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". In accordance with
ASC Topic 360, indefinite -lived intangible assets held and used by the Company
are reviewed for impairment annually in the fourth quarter or more frequently if
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
may not be recoverable. Finite-lived assets and intangibles are also reviewed
for impairment test when circumstance requires it. For purposes of evaluating
the recoverability of long-lived assets, when undiscounted future cash flows
will not be sufficient to recover an asset's carrying amount, the asset is
written down to its fair value. The long-lived assets of the Company, which are
subject to evaluation, consist primarily of property, plant and equipment and
land use rights. No impairment loss is recorded for the three months ended March
31, 2010 and 2009.
Fair
value of financial instruments
FASB
Codification Topic 825(ASC Topic 825), "Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments," requires certain disclosures regarding the fair value of financial
instruments. Fair value of financial instruments is made at a specific point in
time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific
financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving
uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined
with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair
values.
The
carrying value of accounts receivable, other current assets and prepaid
expenses, other payables and accrued expenses approximate their fair values
because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The management of the
Company is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant
interest or credit risks arising from these financial
instruments.

2-SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Revenue
recognition
Net sales
are primarily composed of sales of products to wholesale and retail customers
and subcontracting fees. The Company recognizes revenues under the FASB
Codification Topic 605 ("ASC Topic 605"), Revenue is recognized when all of the
following have occurred: persuasive evidence of arrangement with the customer,
services has been performed, fees are fixed or determinable and collectability
of the fees is reasonably assured. These criteria as related to the Company's
revenues are considered to have been met as follows:
Sales of
products
The
Company recognizes revenue on sales of products when the goods are delivered and
title to the goods passes to the customers provided that: there are no
uncertainties regarding customer acceptance; persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists; the sales price is fixed and determinable; and
collectability is deemed probable.
Sub-contracting
fees
The
Company also provides sub-contracting services to its customers based on a
fixed-price contract. The Company recognizes services-based revenue from all its
contracts when the services have been performed, the customers have approved the
completion of services, invoices have been issued and collectability is deemed
probable. The revenues from sub-contracting services only consist of
approximately 6.78% of the total revenue recognized.
Income
taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under the FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25
(“ASC 740-10-25”). Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between
the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and
liabilities and their respective tax bases. 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. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities
of a change in tax rates is recognized as income in the period included the
enactment date.

NOTE
2-SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
On
January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740-10-25,
"Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes". ASC 740-10-25 prescribes a
more-likely-than-not threshold for consolidated financial statement recognition
and measurement of a tax position taken (or expected to be taken) in a tax
return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on the recognition of income
tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax
assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with
tax positions, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax
positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods and income tax
disclosures. The adoption of ASC 740-10-25 has not resulted in any material
impact on the Company's financial position or results.
Foreign
currency translation
Kingold
and Dragon Lead maintain their accounting records in the United States Dollars
("US$"), whereas Wuhan Vogue-Show and Wuhan Kingold maintain their accounting
records in the currency of Renminbi ("RMB"), being the primary currency of the
economic environment in which their operations are conducted.
For
financial reporting purposes, RMB have been translated into United States
dollars ("US$") as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated
at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses
are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting
period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates
from period to period are included as a component of stockholders' equity as
"Accumulated other comprehensive income". Gains and losses resulting from
foreign currency translations are included in accumulated other comprehensive
income. There is no significant fluctuation in exchange rate for the
conversion of RMB to US$ after the balance sheet date.
The value
of RMB against US$ and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among
other things, changes in China's political and economic conditions, Any
significant revaluation of RMB may materially affect the Company's financial
condition in terms of US$ reporting.

$59,322 and $18,883 respectively.
Earnings
per share
The
Company computes earnings per share (“EPS’) in accordance with ASC 260 “Earnings
per Share” (“ASC 260”). ASC 260 requires companies with complex capital
structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net
income divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive
effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible
securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning
of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common
shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per
share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted
EPS.
Statement
of Cash Flows
In
accordance with ASC 230, “Statement of Cash Flows,” cash flows from the
Company's operations is calculated based upon the local
currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities
reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes
in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Subsequent
Events
The
Company has evaluated subsequent events that have occurred through the date the
consolidated financial statements were available to be issued and has determined
there were no material events since the balance sheet date of this
report.
Segments
The
Company operates in only one segment; As a result segment disclosure is not
presented.

2-SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
February 2010, FASB issued new standards in ASC 855, Subsequent Event. This
amendment removes the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date through
which subsequent events have been evaluated in both issued and revised financial
statements. Revised financial statements include financial statements revised as
a result of either correction of an error or retrospective application of GAAP.
All of the amendments are effective upon issuance of the final update, except
for the use of the issued date for conduit debt obligors. That amendment is
effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2010. The Company
does not expect the adoption of this amendment to have a material impact on its
consolidated financial statements.
In
January 2010, FASB amended ASC 820 Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.
This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that requires new disclosure
as follows: 1) Transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2. A
reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers
in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the
reasons for the transfers. 2) Activity in Level 3 fair value
measurements. In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using
significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reporting entity should present
separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (that
is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number). The new disclosures and
clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures
about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of
activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Company has determined the adoption of this rule does
not have a material impact on its financial statements.
In
January 2010, FASB amended Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with
Components of Stock and Cash. The amendments in this Update clarify that the
stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to
receive cash or stock with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash
that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is considered a
share issuance that is reflected in EPS prospectively and is not a stock
dividend for purposes of applying Topics 505 and 260 (Equity and Earnings Per
Share). The amendments in this update are effective for interim and annual
periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and should be applied on a
retrospective basis. The Company does not expect the adoption of this rule to
have a material impact on its financial statements.

Kingold
was incorporated in the United States and has incurred net operating losses for
income tax purpose for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and for the years

income tax purposes available for offset against future taxable U.S. income.
These carry forwards will expire, if not utilized, beginning in 2029 through

appears uncertain due to the Company's limited operating history income and
continuing losses. Accordingly, the Company has provided a 100% valuation
allowance at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 for the loss carry-forwards.
The valuation allowance as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $ 161,820

9 –EARNINGS PER SHARE
In
December 23, 2009, the Company entered into a reverse merger transaction with
Hongkong Dragon Lead. The Company computes the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding in accordance with ASC 805. ASC 805 states that in
calculating the weighted average shares when a reverse merger took place in the
middle of the year, the number of common shares outstanding from the beginning
of that period to the acquisition date shall be computed on the basis of the
weighted-average number of common shares of the legal acquiree (the accounting
acquirer) outstanding during the period multiplied by the exchange ratio
established in the merger agreement. The number of common shares outstanding
from the acquisition date to the end of that period will be the actual number of
common shares of the legal acquirer (the accounting acquiree) outstanding during
that period.
As of
March 31, 2010, the Company had outstanding warrants to acquire 6,670,482 shares
of common stock. The 5,120,482 warrants’ excise price is $0.498, while the
1,550,000 warrants’ exercise price is $0.598. As of March 31, 2010, all the
outstanding warrants were considered dilutive and were included in the weighted

to purchase 1,550,000 shares of common stocks, the original exercise price was
$0.16 per share, exercisable within 5 years of the date of issue ,

all other terms the same.
The
Company has determined that the warrants meet the conditions for equity
classification pursuant to ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”.Therefore, these
warrants were classified as equity and included in Additional Paid-in Capital.
The fair value of the warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes options
pricing model using the following assumptions: volatility 100%, risk free
interest rate 1.51% (no dividend yield) and expected term of four years. The
fair value of those warrants was recalculated at the reverse merge date at
$1,119,172.

Escrowed
share arrangement
In
accordance with the Securities Purchase Agreement, a majority stockholder of
Dragon Lead, immediately following the closing of the reverse
acquisition, entered into a make good escrow agreement with the investors,
pursuant to which a total of 3,791,218 of their beneficially owned shares of
common stock were delivered to an escrow agent in order to secure the
Company's obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement to deliver
additional common stock to the private placement investors in the
event the Company fails to achieve certain after-PRC--tax net income
of Wuhan Kingold targets for fiscal years 2009, 2010 and 2011 ("Make Good Escrow
Shares"). Those targets are RMB65 million, RMB100 million and RMB150 million in
after-tax net income for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and ending
December 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively. In the event the Company is not able
to achieve the net income target, the Company is obligated to transfer 3,791,218
shares of common stock to the private placement investors on a pro-rata basis.
Of the 66,208,466 shares of common stock issued in the Share Exchange, 3,791,218
have been deposited by the majority stockholder of Dragon Lead into escrow to
secure these obligations.
As the
performance threshold was met for fiscal year 2009, 1,263,739 escrowed shares
will be returned to stockholders in 2009, the remaining 2,527,479 shares will be
released in fiscal years 2010 and 2011 if the performance thresholds for fiscal
years 2010 and 2011 are also met.
The Company has evaluated these
agreements under ASC 815 including ASU 2010-5 and concluded they do not meet the
definition of compensation. Instead, these shares are used as inducements for
the investors to complete the transactions. In the event that escrow shares are
transferred to the investors, the Company will record the value of the shares as
additional financing costs.

ITEM
2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The
following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should
be read together with the financial statements and related notes included in
this Report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ
materially from those anticipated in those forward-looking statements as a
result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those contained in the
discussion on forward-looking statements that follows this section.
Overview
We are engaged in the production and
sales of 24 Karat gold jewelry and ornaments in the PRC under the Kingold brand
through a variable interest entity relationship with Wuhan Kingold Jewelry
Company Limited, a PRC corporation. All of our sales are made within the central
part of the PRC including Hubei, Hunan, Henan, Jiangxi, Anhui and Sichuan
Provinces.
We have historically sold our
products directly to distributors, retailers and other wholesalers, who then
sell our products to consumers through retail counters located in both
department stores and other traditional stand-alone jewelry stores. We sell our
products to our customers at a price that reflects the market price of the base
material (24K gold), plus a mark-up reflecting our design fees and processing
fees. Typically this mark-up ranges from 4-6% of the price of the base
material.
We aim to become an increasingly
important participant in the PRC's gold jewelry design and manufacturing
sector. In addition to expanding our design and manufacturing
capabilities, our goal is to provide a large variety of gold products in unique
styles and superior quality under our nationwide well-known brand,
Kingold.
We have been a member of the Shanghai
Gold Exchange since 2003. Although the Chinese government eliminated the
absolute restriction on trading gold in general, the right to purchase gold
directly from the Shanghai Gold Exchange is limited. The Shanghai
Gold Exchange implements a membership system and only members can buy gold
through its trading system. There were only 162 members of the
Shanghai Gold Exchange throughout China in 2008. Non-members who want
to purchase gold must deal with members at a higher purchase price compared to
that for members.

Three
Months Ended March 31, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31,
2009
Net
Sales
Net sales
for the three months ended March 31, 2010 increased to $60.5 million, an
increase of $22.0 million, or 59%, from net sales of $38.0 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in net sales was primarily the result
of an increase in our production, continued success in marketing of our products
and the increase in the cost of raw materials.
Cost of sales
Cost of
sales for the year ended three months ended March 31, 2010 increased to $54.5
million, an increase of $19.6 million, or 56% from $34.9 million for the same
period in 2009. The increase was primarily due to the increase in the cost of
raw materials caused by higher sales volume for the three months ended March 31,
2010.
Gross profit
Gross
profit for the three months ended March 31, 2010 increased to $6.0 million, an
increase of $2.9 million, or 93%, from $3.1 million for the same period in 2009.
Accordingly, gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was 9.9%,
compared to 8.2% for the same period in 2009. The increase in our gross profit
and the increase in our gross margin were primarily due to the increase in
production and sales volume of gold, and processing fees. In addition, in 2009,
we shifted our focus to the production of gold jewelry other than other jewelry
production and the increased gross margin reflects this shift in
focus.
Total
operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were $412,433 , a
decrease of $15,099 or 4%, from $427,533 for the same period in 2009. The
decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to less depreciation expense
and stronger control of other administration expenses.
Interest
expenses were $116,660 for three months ended March 31, 2010, an decrease of
$89,440 or 43%, from $206,101 for same period in 2009. Fees paid to the third
party guarantors for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $18,308
and $58,156, respectively. The decrease in interest expense and guarant fees
were primarily a result of a decrease of average loan balance for the three
months ended March 31, 2010.
Provision
for income tax expense was approximately $1.4 million for three months ended
March 31, 2010, an increase of $0.74 million, or 123%, from approximately $0.61
million for the same period in 2009. The increase was primarily due to our
increase in gross profit during the first three months of 2010.
Net
income attributable to common stockholders increased to $3.9 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2010 from $1.7 million for the same period in 2009,
an increase of $2.2 million, or 126%.
Net cash provided
by operating activities. Net cash provided by operating
activities was $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared
to net cash used in operations of $6.0 million for the same period in 2009. Net
cash used in operating activities increased by $1.4 million and was primarily a
result of increase in net income and an increase in value added tax
recoverable.
Net cash used in
investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities
amounted to $11,217 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to net
cash used in investing activities of $7,177 for the three months ended
March 31, 2009. The slight increase in net cash used
in investing activities was as a result of a small increase in the purchase
of property and equipment.

Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We have
no material off-balance sheet transactions.
At March
31, 2010, we had outstanding bank loans in the amount of $8.8 million. Our loans
are secured by real property and/or guaranteed by a third party guarantor who
charges us a commission.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
At March
31, 2010, we had $15.3 million in cash and cash equivalents. We have
historically financed our operations with cash flows generated from operations,
as well as through the borrowing of short-term bank loans and contribution from
stockholders and investment from investors.
We
believe that our current cash and cash flow from operations will be sufficient
to meet our anticipated cash needs, including our cash needs for working
capital, for the next 12 months. We may, however, require additional cash
resources due to changing business conditions or other future developments,
including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. We intend to
open new retail locations by leasing unoccupied space, acquiring existing leases
from third parties and/or acquiring the existing jewelry operations of third
parties that occupy retail space. While we are still in the process of
determining all the steps necessary to implement our retail expansion, it will
largely depend on our ability to find sites for, open and operate new retail
locations successfully, which depends on, among other things, our ability to:
(i) identify suitable counter and store locations; (ii) purchase and negotiate
acceptable lease terms; (iii) prepare counters and stores for opening within
budget; (iv) source sufficient levels of inventory at acceptable costs to meet
the needs of new counters and stores; (v) hire, train and retain personnel, and
(vi) secure required governmental permits and approvals.
On
December 23, 2009, we received gross proceeds of approximately $5.1 million in a
private placement transaction. Pursuant to subscription agreements entered into
with the investors, we sold an aggregate of 10,240,966 shares of common stock at
a price of $0.498 per share.
We are
required to contribute a portion of our employees’ total salaries to the Chinese
government’s social insurance funds, including pension insurance, medical
insurance, unemployment insurance, job injuries insurance, and maternity
insurance, in accordance with relevant regulations. We expect that the amount of
our contribution to the government’s social insurance funds will increase in the
future as we expand our workforce and operations and commence contributions to
an employee housing fund.
The
ability of Vogue-Show to pay dividends may be restricted due to the PRC's
foreign exchange control policies and our availability of cash. A majority of
our revenue being earned and currency received is denominated in RMB. We may be
unable to distribute any dividends outside of China due to PRC exchange control
regulations that restrict our ability to convert RMB into U.S. Dollars.
Accordingly, Vogue-Show’s funds may not be readily available to us to satisfy
obligations which have been incurred outside the PRC, which could adversely
affect our business and prospects or our ability to meet our cash
obligations.
Our
ability to maintain sufficient liquidity depends partially on our ability to
achieve anticipated levels of revenue, while continuing to control costs. If we
do not have sufficient available cash, we would have to seek additional debt or
equity financing through other external sources, which may not be available on
acceptable terms, or at all. Failure to maintain financing arrangements on
acceptable terms would have a material adverse effect on our business, results
of operations and financial condition.

4T. CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
carried out an evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 under the supervision and with the participation of our chief
executive officer and chief 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.
Disclosure
controls and procedures are designed with the objective of ensuring that
(i) information required to be disclosed in an issuer’s reports filed under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and
(ii) information is accumulated and communicated to management, including
our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
The
evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures included a review of our
objectives and processes and effect on the information generated for use in this
Report. This type of evaluation will be done quarterly so that the conclusions
concerning the effectiveness of these controls can be reported in our periodic
reports filed with the SEC. We intend to maintain these controls as processes
that may be appropriately modified as circumstances warrant.
Based on
their evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer has
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely
alerting him to material information relating to Kingold Jewelry, Inc. required
to be included in our periodic reports filed with the SEC as of the end of the
period covered by this Report. There were no changes in our internal control
over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting. However, a control system, no matter how well
conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance
that the objectives of the control system are met. Management necessarily
applied its judgment in assessing the benefits of controls relative to their
costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation
of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances
of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. The design of any
system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the
likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will
succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions,
regardless of how remote. Because of the inherent limitations in a control
system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and
may not
be detected.
Changes in Internal Control over
Financial Reporting
There
have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as
defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) during the three months ended March 31,
2010, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect our internal control over financial reporting.
