PETMED
EXPRESS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note
1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
PetMed
Express, Inc. and subsidiaries, d/b/a 1-800-PetMeds (the “Company”), is a
leading nationwide pet pharmacy. The Company markets prescription and
non-prescription pet medications and other health products for dogs, cats,
and
horses direct to the consumer. The Company offers consumers an attractive
alternative for obtaining pet medications in terms of convenience, price, and
speed of delivery.
The
Company markets its products through national television, on-line and direct
mail/print advertising campaigns, which aim to increase the recognition of
the
“1-800-PetMeds” brand name, increase traffic on its website at www.1800petmeds.com,
acquire new customers, and maximize repeat purchases. The majority of all of
the
Company’s sales are to residents in the United States. The Company’s executive
offices are located in Pompano Beach, Florida.
The
Company’s fiscal year end is March 31, and references herein to fiscal 2008 or
2007 refer to the Company's fiscal years ending March 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.
Basis
of Presentation and Consolidation
The
accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do
not
include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal
recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the
Company at June 30, 2007 and the Statements of Income and Cash Flows for the
three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. The results of operations for the
three months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the operating
results expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
notes
thereto contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2007. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
include the accounts of PetMed Express, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries.
All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon
consolidation.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently
Adopted Accounting Standards
The
Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), in
the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Previously, the Company had accounted for
tax
contingencies in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting
for Contingencies.
As
required by FIN 48, which clarifies SFAS No. 109, Accounting
for Income Taxes,
the
Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after
determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain
the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the
more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated
financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent
likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax
authority. At the adoption date, the Company applied FIN 48 to all tax positions
for which the statute of limitations remained open. Upon implementing FIN 48,
the Company did not recognize any additional liabilities for unrecognized tax
benefits. Other than the determination that nexus was established in another
state, resulting in a reduction to the Company’s effective tax rate, the
adoption of FIN 48 had no material impact on our condensed consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
4
In
June
2006, the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on
Issue No. 06-3, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental
Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus
Net Presentation).” The scope of EITF 06-3 includes sales, use, value added, and
some excise taxes that are assessed by a governmental authority on specific
revenue-producing transactions between a seller and customer. EITF 06-3 requires
disclosure of the method of accounting for the applicable assessed taxes and
the
amount of assessed taxes that are included in revenues if they are accounted
for
under the gross method. EITF 06-3 was effective for the Company’s fiscal year
beginning April 1, 2007. EITF 06-3 will not impact the method for recording
these taxes in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company
historically has presented sales excluding these taxes.
The
Company does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective,
accounting standard, if currently adopted, will have a material effect on the
Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
Note
2: Net
Income Per Share
In
accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No.
128, “Earnings
Per Share,”
basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available
to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share includes
the
dilutive effect of potential stock options exercised and the effects of the
potential conversion of preferred shares, calculated using the treasury stock
method. Outstanding stock options and convertible preferred shares issued by
the
Company represent the only dilutive effect reflected in diluted weighted average
shares outstanding. The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and
denominators of the basic and diluted net income per common share computations
for the periods presented:

For
the
three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, all common stock options were
included in the diluted net income per common share computation as their
exercise prices were less than the average market price of the common shares
for
the period.
Note
3: Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation
The
Company records compensation expense associated with stock options in accordance
with SFAS No. 123R, “Share
Based Payment,”
which
is a revision of SFAS No. 123. The Company adopted the modified prospective
transition method provided under SFAS No. 123R. Under this transition
method, compensation expense associated with stock options recognized in the
first quarter of fiscal year 2007, and in subsequent quarters, includes expense
related to the remaining unvested portion of all stock option awards granted
prior to April 1, 2006, the estimated fair value of each option award
granted was determined on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option
valuation model, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance
with
the original provisions of SFAS No. 123.
5
As
a
result of the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company’s operating income for
the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 includes approximately $197,000
and $223,000 of stock option compensation expense, respectively. The
compensation expense related to all of the Company’s stock-based compensation
arrangements is recorded as a component of general and administrative expenses.
As of June 30, 2007 and 2006, there was $860,000 and $1,734,000, respectively,
of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock option awards,
which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average vesting
period of approximately 2 years. Cash
received from stock options exercised for the three months ended June 30, 2007
and 2006 was $240,000 and $302,000, respectively. The income tax benefits from
stock options exercised totaled $8,000 and $80,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The
PetMed Express, Inc. 1998 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), provides for the
issuance of qualified options to officers and key employees, and nonqualified
options to directors, consultants and other service providers, to purchase
the
Company’s common stock. The Company had reserved 5,000,000 shares of common
stock for issuance under the Plan. The exercise prices of options issued under
the Plan must be equal to or greater than the market price of the Company's
common stock as of the date of issuance. The Company had 631,404
and
775,352 options outstanding under the Plan at June 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. Options generally vest ratably over a three-year period commencing
on the first anniversary of the grant with respect to options granted to
employees/directors under the Plan. No options were issued during the quarter.
The 1998 Plan expires on July 31, 2008.
On
July 28, 2006, the Company received shareholder approval for the adoption of
the
2006 Employee Equity Compensation Restricted Stock Plan (the “Employee Plan”)
and the 2006 Outside Director Equity Compensation Restricted Stock Plan (the
“Director Plan”). The purpose of the plans is to promote the interests of the
Company by securing and retaining both employees and outside directors. The
Company has reserved 1,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the
Employee Plan. The Company has reserved 200,000 shares of common stock for
issuance under the Director Plan. The value of the restricted stock is
determined based on the market value of the stock at the issuance date. The
restriction period or forfeiture period is determined by the Company’s Board, to
be no less than 1 year and no more than ten years. The Company issued 60,650
shares of restricted stock to certain employees under the Employee plan during
the quarter. The Company had 196,025 restricted common shares issued under
the
Employee Plan and 20,000 restricted common shares issued under the Director
Plan
at June 30, 2007, the fair value of which is being amortized over the three-year
restriction period. For
the
three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company recognized $162,000
and
$0 of restricted stock compensation expense related to the Employee and Director
Plans, respectively.
Note
4: Temporary Investments
During
fiscal 2007 the Company had reclassified its auction rate securities (“ARS”)
from cash and cash equivalents to temporary investments on its balance sheet
in
accordance with recent accounting pronouncements. This reclassification affected
both the balance sheet in fiscal 2007 and cash flow statement in fiscal 2007,
but it did not affect net income or working capital in fiscal 2007. In
accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Considering
the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in
Current Year Financial Statements,”
no
changes to financial statements issued in prior years were deemed necessary.
In
accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No.
115, Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,
temporary investments are accounted for as trading securities. Trading
securities are securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose
of selling in the near term. The Company believes that notwithstanding the
reclassification, the investments in ARS are short term and highly liquid,
and
readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and that they present an
insignificant risk of change in value due to market changes in interest rates.
At June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company had $45,425,000 and $33,350,000 of
temporary investments, respectively.
Note
5: Commitments and Contingencies
The
Company is a party to routine litigation and administrative complaints
incidental to its business. Management does not believe that the resolution
of
any or all of such routine litigation and administrative complaints is likely
to
have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results
of operations. The Company
has settled complaints that had been filed with various states’ pharmacy boards
in the past. There can be no assurances made that other states will not attempt
to take similar actions against the Company in the future. Legal costs related
to the above matters are expensed as incurred.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS.
Executive
Summary
PetMed
Express was incorporated in the State of Florida in January 1996. The Company’s
common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol
“PETS.” The Company began selling pet medications and other pet health products
in September 1996, and issued its first catalog in the fall of 1997. This
catalog displayed approximately 1,200 items, including prescription and
non-prescription pet medications, other pet health products and pet accessories.
In fiscal 2001, the Company focused its product line on approximately 600 of
the
most popular pet medications and other health products for dogs and cats.
Presently, the Company’s product line includes approximately 750 of the most
popular pet medications and other health products for dogs, cats, and
horses.
The
Company markets its products through national television, on-line, and direct
mail/print advertising campaigns which direct consumers to order by phone or
on
the Internet, and aim to increase the recognition of the “1-800-PetMeds” brand
name. The Company’s sales consist of products sold mainly to retail customers
and minimally to wholesale customers. Typically, the Company’s customers pay by
credit card or check at the time the order is shipped. The Company usually
receives cash settlement in two to three banking days for sales paid by credit
cards, which minimizes the accounts receivable balances relative to the
Company’s sales. The Company’s sales returns average was approximately 1.5% and
1.7% of sales for the quarters ended on June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The twelve-month average retail purchase was approximately $80 per order, and
the three-month average retail purchase was approximately $84 per order for
both
of the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and the results of our
operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements and the data
used to prepare them. The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. On an ongoing basis we re-evaluate our judgments
and
estimates including those related to product returns, bad debts, inventories,
long-lived assets, income taxes, litigation and contingencies. We base our
estimates and judgments on our historical experience, knowledge of current
conditions, and our beliefs of what could occur in the future considering
available information. Actual results may differ from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions. Our estimates are guided by observing
the
following critical accounting policies.
Revenue
recognition
The
Company generates revenue by selling pet medication products primarily to retail
customers and minimally to wholesale customers. The Company’s policy is to
recognize revenue from product sales upon shipment, when the rights of ownership
and risk of loss have passed to the customer. Outbound shipping and handling
fees are included in sales and are billed upon shipment. Shipping expenses
are
included in cost of sales.
The
majority of the Company’s sales are paid by credit cards and the Company usually
receives the cash settlement in two to three banking days. Credit card sales
minimize accounts receivable balances relative to sales. In certain instances
revenue recognition is based on estimates of product returns, allowances, and
other factors. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for
losses that the Company estimates will arise from the customers’ inability to
make required payments, arising from either credit card charge-backs or
insufficient funds checks. The Company determines its estimates of the
uncollectibility of accounts receivable by analyzing historical bad debts and
current economic trends. At
June
30, 2007 and 2006, the allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $43,000
and $28,000, respectively.
Valuation
of inventory
Inventories
consist of prescription and non-prescription pet medications and pet supplies
that are available for sale and are priced at the lower of cost or market value
using a weighted average cost method. The Company writes down its inventory
for
estimated obsolescence. At
June 30, 2007 and 2006, the inventory reserve was approximately $118,000 and
$280,000, respectively.
7
Advertising
The
Company's advertising expense consists primarily of television advertising,
internet marketing, and direct mail/print advertising. Television costs are
expensed as the advertisements are televised. Internet costs are expensed in
the
month incurred and direct mail/print advertising costs are expensed when the
related catalog and postcards are produced, distributed, or
superseded.
Accounting
for income taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109,
Accounting
for Income Taxes,
which
generally requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for
the expected future tax benefits or consequences of events that have been
included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Under this
method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences
between the financial reporting carrying values and the tax bases of assets
and
liabilities, and are measured by applying enacted tax rates and laws for the
taxable years in which those differences are expected to reverse.
Results
of Operations
The
following should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes thereto included

Three

Sales
Sales
increased by approximately $8,354,000, or 16.5%, to approximately $59,027,000
for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, from approximately $50,673,000 for the
quarter ended June 30, 2006. The increase in sales for the three months ended
June 30, 2007 can be primarily attributed to increased retail reorders and
new
orders, offset by decreased wholesale sales. The following chart illustrates
sales by various sales classifications:

The
Company has committed certain amounts specifically designated towards
television, direct mail/print and on-line advertising to stimulate sales, create
brand awareness, and acquire new customers. As indicated in the chart above,
retail reorder sales have increased by approximately $6,076,000, or 17.9%,
to
approximately $39,986,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, from
approximately $33,910,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Retail
new
order sales have increased by approximately $2,466,000, or 15.0%, to
approximately $18,960,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, from
approximately $16,494,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Wholesale
sales have decreased by approximately $188,000, or 69.9%, to approximately
$81,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, from approximately $269,000
for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in wholesale sales for
the quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2006
can
be attributed to a strategic business decision to focus more on retail customers
and limit wholesale sales. We may continue to limit our wholesale sales in
the
future to concentrate our business on retail sales.
Internet
sales have increased by approximately $7,750,000, or 25.7%, to approximately
$37,894,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, from approximately
$30,144,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Contact center sales
have
increased by approximately $604,000, or 2.9%, to approximately $21,133,000
for
the three months ended June 30, 2007, from approximately $20,529,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2006. For the quarter ended June 30, 2007,
approximately 64% of all sales were generated via the Internet compared to
59%
for the same period the prior year. The Company acquired approximately 236,000
new customers for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, compared to approximately
207,000 new customers for the same period the prior year. There can be no
assurances that this growth trend will continue, due to increased price
competition from veterinarians and traditional and on-line
retailers.
The
majority of our product sales are affected by the seasons, due to the
seasonality of mainly heartworm and flea and tick medications. For the quarters
ended June 30, September 30, December 31, and March 31 of fiscal 2007, the
Company’s sales were approximately 31%, 27%, 19%, and 23%,
respectively.
Cost
of sales
Cost
of
sales increased by approximately $5,783,000, or 18.9%, to approximately
$36,332,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, from approximately $30,549,000
for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The
increase in cost of sales is directly related to the increase in sales in the
quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2006. As
a
percent of sales, the cost of sales was 61.6% and 60.3% for the quarters ended
June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The percentage increase can be attributed
to increases in our product and freight costs.
9
Gross
profit
Gross
profit increased by approximately $2,571,000, or 12.8%, to approximately
$22,695,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, from approximately $20,124,000
for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. Gross profit as a percentage of sales
was
38.4% and 39.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively.
The
percentage decrease can be attributed to increases in our product and freight
costs.
General
and administrative expenses
General
and administrative expenses increased by approximately $1,166,000, or 26.2%,
to
approximately $5,615,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, from approximately
$4,449,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The increase in general and
administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily
due to the following: a $470,000 increase to payroll expenses, with $136,000
of
the increase due to the recognition of additional stock based compensation
expense during the quarter relating to the issuance of restricted stock, and
the
remaining increase also attributed to the addition of new employees in the
customer care and pharmacy departments enabling the company to sustain its
growth; a $386,000 one-time charge due to the fact that nexus was established
in
another state, relating to state/county sales tax which was not collected on
behalf of our customers; a $187,000 increase to bank service and credit card
fees; and a $57,000 increase to office expenses which can be directly attributed
to increased sales in the quarter; a $48,000 increase to licenses and fees
relating to a quarterly California mill assessment; and a $46,000 increase
in
other expenses which includes mainly professional fees, property and insurance
expenses. Offsetting the increase was a $28,000 decrease to telephone and
travel-related expenses.
Advertising
expenses
Advertising
expenses increased by approximately $154,000, or 1.9%, to approximately
$8,483,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, from approximately $8,329,000
for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. As a percentage of sales, advertising
expense was 14.4% and 16.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. The advertising costs of acquiring a new customer, defined as
total advertising costs divided by new customers acquired, for the quarter
ended
June 30, 2007 was $36, compared to $40 for the same period the prior year.
The
Company currently anticipates advertising as a percentage of sales to range
from
approximately 14.0% to 16.0% for fiscal 2008. However, the advertising
percentage will fluctuate quarter to quarter due to seasonality and advertising
availability. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, quarterly advertising
expenses as a percentage of sales ranged between 12% and 18%.
Depreciation
and amortization expenses
Depreciation
and amortization expenses decreased by approximately $7,000, or 5.4%, to
approximately $128,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, from approximately
$135,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. This decrease to depreciation
and
amortization expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 can be attributed
to
the fact that existing property and equipment items have been fully
depreciated.
Other
income
Other
income increased by approximately $274,000, or 78.1%, to approximately $624,000
for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 from approximately $350,000 for the quarter
ended June 30, 2006. The increase to other income can be primarily attributed
to
increased interest income due to increases in the Company’s cash balance, which
is swept into an interest-bearing overnight account, and a tax-free short term
investment account. The increase can also be attributed to additional
advertising revenue generated from our website. Interest income may decrease
in
future years if the Company utilizes its cash balances on its $20,000,000 share
repurchase plan, with approximately $18,488,000 remaining, or on its operating
activities.
10
Provision
for income taxes
For
the
quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded an income tax
provision for approximately $2,910,000 and $2,812,000, respectively. The income
tax provision includes a tax benefit of approximately $300,000 which relates
to
an income tax over-accrual for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. During
the
quarter ended June 30, 2007, it was determined that the Company was no longer
a
full tax payer in the state of Florida, due to the fact that it established
nexus in another state. This event triggered a lower effective tax rate in
the
year ended March 31, 2007 and for future quarters. This event resulted in an
effective tax rate of 32.0% for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 and 37.2%,
for
the same quarter in the prior year. Excluding the one-time true-up benefit
of
$300,000 the Company’s effective tax rate would have been approximately 35.3%.
For fiscal 2008, the Company estimates its effective tax rate to be
approximately 1.5% less than it was in fiscal 2007.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
The
Company’s working capital at June 30, 2007 and March 31, 2007 was $55,522,000
and $50,613,000, respectively. The $4,909,000 increase in working capital was
primarily attributable to cash flow generated from operations, interest income
on temporary investments, and the exercise of stock options. Net cash provided
by operating activities was $9,503,000 and $9,956,000 for the three months
ended
June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities
was
$6,556,000 and $10,704,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. This $4,148,000 decrease can be attributed to a lesser amount
of
purchases of temporary investments. Net cash used in financing activities was
$1,263,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to net cash
provided by financing activities of $382,000 for the three months ended June
30,
2006. This is primarily due to the Company repurchasing 117,300 shares of its
common stock for approximately $1,512,000 during the first quarter of fiscal
2008.
As
of
March 31, 2007 and 2006 the Company had no outstanding lease commitments except
for the lease for its executive offices and warehouse. The Company had financed
certain equipment acquisitions with capital leases. The Company has
approximately $250,000 planned for capital expenditure commitments to further
the Company’s growth during fiscal 2008, which will be funded through cash from
operations.
The
Company’s source of working capital includes cash from operations, interest
income on temporary investments, and the exercise of stock options. The Company
presently has no need for other alternative sources of working capital, and
has
no commitments or plans to obtain additional capital. If in the future the
Company seeks to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities,
no assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in obtaining
additional capital, or that such capital will be available in terms acceptable
to the Company. Further, there can be no assurances that even if such additional
capital is obtained the Company will sustain profitability or positive cash
flow.

ITEM
3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK.
Market
risk generally represents the risk that losses may occur in the value of
financial instruments as a result of movements in interest rates, foreign
currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Our financial instruments include
cash and cash equivalents, temporary investments, accounts receivable, and
accounts payable. The book values of cash equivalents, temporary investments,
accounts receivable, and accounts payable are considered to be representative
of
fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. Interest rates
affect our return on excess cash and temporary investments. As of June 30,
2007,
we had $2,000,337 of cash and cash equivalents and $45,425,000 of temporary
investments. A majority of our cash and cash equivalents and investments
generate interest income based on prevailing interest rates. A significant
change in interest rates would impact the amount of interest income generated
from our excess cash and investments. It would also impact the market value
of
our investments. Our
investments are subject to market risk, primarily interest rate and credit
risk.
Our investments are managed by a limited number of outside professional managers
within investment guidelines set by our Board of Directors. Such guidelines
include security type, credit quality and maturity and are intended to limit
market risk by restricting our investments to high quality debt instruments
with
relatively short-term maturities. We
do
not utilize financial instruments for long term trading purposes and we do
not
hold any derivative financial instruments that could expose us to significant
market risk. At June 30, 2007, we had no debt obligations.
ITEM
4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
The
Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the
quarter ended June 30, 2007, the end of the period covered by this report (the
"Evaluation Date"). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer
and
Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures are effective for timely gathering, analyzing and disclosing the
information we are required to disclose in our reports filed under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. There have been no significant
changes made in our internal controls or in other factors that could
significantly affect, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
controls over financial reporting during the period covered by this
report.
