NOTES
TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION
ASAP
Expo, Inc. (“ASAP Expo” or the “Company”) was incorporated on April 10, 2007
under the laws of the State of Nevada.
Prior to
December 31, 2008, ASAP Expo was a wholly owned subsidiary of China Yili
Petroleum Company, a Nevada corporation (“China Yili”), formerly named ASAP
Show, Inc (“ASAP”).
On August
13, 2007 ASAP acquired the outstanding capital stock of Sino-American Petroleum
Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Sino-American Petroleum”) (the “Merger”),
through the issuance of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to the shareholders
of Sino-American Petroleum. Sino-American Petroleum is a holding company that
owns all of the registered capital of Tongliao Yili Asphalt Co. (“Yili
Asphalt”), a corporation organized under the laws of The People’s Republic of
China. On October 22, 2007, ASAP Show changed its corporate name to China Yili
Petroleum Company.
Prior to
the Merger, ASAP assigned all of its pre-Merger business and assets to ASAP Expo
and ASAP Expo assumed responsibility for all of the liabilities of ASAP that
existed prior to the Merger. On May 24, 2007 ASAP Expo entered into an
Assignment and Assumption and Management Agreement with ASAP and Frank Yuan
whereby ASAP Expo acquired the operations of ASAP by the assignment and transfer
all of the assets and liabilities of ASAP to ASAP Expo (the
“Agreement”).
On
December 31, 2008, China Yili declared a dividend of 100% of the outstanding
shares of ASAP Expo to its shareholders prior to the Merger. The dividend declaration
caused ASAP Expo to spin-off from China Yili.
The
Apparel Sourcing Association Pavilion Trade Show ("ASAP Show") is the core
business of ASAP Expo. ASAP Show is a global apparel and textile sourcing show
that brings leading manufacturers from around the world to one venue to meet,
greet and sell to buyers. The ASAP Show is held twice a year in Las Vegas,
Nevada.
ASAP Expo
also acts as a consultant for international brands to enter the China
market. For this service, ASAP Expo charges the international brands
a consultant fee. The fee is based upon hours serviced and an upfront
retainer fee. It assists international brands to find a “master
licensee” in China who will take their brand name and sell the
products. ASAP Expo also receives a portion of royalty revenue from
the brand for sales above and beyond a pre-specified minimum
guarantee. Sales of products can be through all retail channels
including web, retail store boutique shops, department store corner locations,
or mail order.
BASIS
OF PRESENTATION
The
accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q
and Article 10 of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they 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, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2009.
GOING
CONCERN
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern.
At March
31, 2009, the Company has a capital deficiency of approximately $1,117,888
resulted from the accumulated deficit of its parent company that was transferred
to the Company according to the Agreement, working capital of approximately
$7,927 and a lack of profitable operating history. The Company hopes to increase
revenues from its trade shows and consultation business. In the absence of
significant increases in revenues, the Company intends to fund operations
through additional debt and equity financing arrangements. The successful
outcome of future activities cannot be determined at this time and there are no
assurances that if achieved, the Company will have sufficient funds to execute
its intended business plan or generate positive operating results.
The
Company's success is dependent upon numerous items, certain of which are the
successful growth of revenues from its products and services and its ability to
obtain new customers/exhibitors in order to achieve levels of revenues adequate
to support the Company's current and future cost structure, for which there is
no assurance. Unanticipated problems, expenses, and delays are frequently
encountered in establishing and maintaining profitable operations. These
include, but are not limited to, competition, the need to develop customer
support capabilities and market expertise, technical difficulties, market
acceptance and sales and marketing. The failure of the Company to meet any of
these conditions could have a materially adverse effect on the Company and may
force the Company to reduce or curtail operations. No assurance can be given
that the Company can achieve or maintain profitable operations.
The
Company believes it will have adequate cash to sustain operations until it
achieves sustained profitability. However, until the Company has a history of
maintaining revenue levels sufficient to support its operations and repay its
working capital deficit, the Company may require additional financing. Sources
of financing could include capital infusions, additional equity financing or
debt offerings. There can be no assurance that funding will be available on
acceptable terms, if at all, or that such funds, if raised, would enable the
Company to achieve or sustain profitable operations.
These
factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not
include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the
recoverability and classification of assets or the classification of liabilities
that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The
Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 ("SAB
104"), "Revenue Recognition" which outlines the basic criteria that must be met
to recognize revenue and provide guidance for presentation of revenue and for
disclosure related to revenue recognition policies in financial statements filed
with Securities and Exchange Commission. Management believes the Company's
revenue recognition policies conform to SAB 104.
Revenues
include amounts earned under transaction sales, trade show booth sales and
subscription fees.
Transaction
Sales
Transaction
revenues are recorded in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No.
("EITF") 99-19 "Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus net as an Agent."
The Company recognizes revenues from product transaction sales when title to the
product passes to the customer. For all product transactions with its customers,
the Company acts as a principal, takes title to all products sold upon shipment,
and bears inventory risk for return products that the Company is not able to
return to the supplier, although these risks are mitigated through arrangements
with factories, shippers and suppliers.
Trade
Shows
Trade
Shows generate revenue through exhibitor booths sales, corporate sponsorship,
and advertising. Such revenue is typically collected in advance, deferred and
then recognized at the time of the related trade show. The Company organizes two
trade shows per year in February and August in Las Vegas.
Consulting
Fees
The
Consulting fees and Royalty revenue are recognized when received.
INDEMNITIES
AND GUARANTEES
During
the normal course of business, the Company has made certain indemnities and
guarantees under which it may be required to make payments in relation to
certain transactions. These indemnities include certain agreements with the
Company's officers, under which the Company may be required to indemnify such
person for liabilities arising out of their employment relationship. The
duration of these indemnities and guarantees varies and, in certain cases, is
indefinite. The majority of these indemnities and guarantees do not provide for
any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be
obligated to make. Historically, the Company has not been obligated to make
significant payments for these obligations and no liabilities have been recorded
for these indemnities and guarantees in the accompanying condensed balance
sheets.
RECENTLY
ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, "Business Combinations"
("SFAS No. 141R"). SFAS No. 141R amends SFAS 141 and provides
revised guidance for recognizing and measuring identifiable assets and goodwill
acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree.
It also provides disclosure requirements to enable users of the financial
statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business
combination. It is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after
December 15, 2008 and will be applied prospectively. The impact of the
adoption of SFAS 141R on our financial position, results of operations will
largely be dependent on the size and nature of the business combinations
completed after the adoption of this statement.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51" ("SFAS
No. 160”). SFAS No. 160 requires that ownership interests in subsidiaries held
by parties other than the parent, and the amount of consolidated net income, be
clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated financial
statements. It also requires once a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained
noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured
at fair value. Sufficient disclosures are required to clearly identify and
distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the
noncontrolling owners. It is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after
December 15, 2008 and requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and
disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. All other requirements
shall be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect the impact of the
adoption of SFAS 160 to be material.
In March
2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. The new standard is intended to improve
financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by
requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their
effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash
flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application
encouraged. The new standard also improves transparency about the location and
amounts of derivative instruments in an entity’s financial statements; how
derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under
Statement 133; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect
its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The Company does
not expect the impact of this adoption to be material.
On May 8,
2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles, which will provide framework for selecting
accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are
presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) for nongovernmental entities. With the issuance of SFAS No. 162, the GAAP
hierarchy for nongovernmental entities will move from auditing literature to
accounting literature. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 162 will have
an impact on its financial position and results of operations.
NOTE
2 – DUE FROM (TO) AFFILIATED COMPANY

Company has a loan to or from an affiliated company, IBMC whose major

STATUS
OF OPERATIONS
Background
ASAP
Expo, Inc. (the "Company") is a trade show organizer that is initially targeting
the apparel industry and an international electronic trading, financing and
logistics corporation. The following three interlocking services make the
Company unique: 1) ASAP Shows consists of ASAP Global Sourcing Show - held twice
a year in Las Vegas, NV., ASAP Buying Trips, and Fashion International Trade
Show (“FITS”) 2) China consulting services for international brands looking to
enter the China market. 3) The Company's Global Financial Platform ("GFP":
Patent Pending) allows U.S. buyers to purchase overseas merchandise without the
need of issuing a letter of credit. The Company presently has representatives
located in 25 countries throughout Asia, Africa, and the Middle East to
facilitate international transactions.
Services
ASAP Global Sourcing
Show
The ASAP
Global Sourcing Show segment derives revenue principally from the sale of
exhibit space, sponsorship and conference attendance fees generated at its
events. In 2008, approximately 95% of our trade show revenue was from the sale
of exhibit space. Events are generally held on a semi-annual basis in Las Vegas,
Nevada. At many of our trade shows, a portion of exhibit space is reserved and
partial payment is received as much as 90 days in advance. Cash is collected in
advance of an event and is recorded on our balance sheet as deferred revenue.
Revenue and related direct event expenses are recognized in the month in which
the event is held.
Trade
show business is seasonal, with revenue typically reaching its highest levels
during the first and third quarters of each fiscal year, largely due to the
timing of the ASAP Global Sourcing shows held in February and August each year.
Because event revenue is recognized when a particular event is held, we also
experience fluctuations in quarterly revenue based on the movement of annual
trade show dates from one quarter to another.
Due to
the Men's Apparel Guild in California's ("MAGIC") establishment of its Sourcing
Zone, which is held at the same time as our shows, management believes the
competing MAGIC show will make it difficult for the ASAP Global Sourcing Show to
have significant growth.
Fashion
International Trade Show (“FITS”)
FITS is
the only Licensing Trade show held in China, committed to launch international
fashion, accessory and footwear brands into China - the fastest growing consumer
market in the world. FITS provides the most cost effective way and "first entry"
advantage by finding an experienced partner to act as a Master Licensee to
overcome the complexity of the Chinese distribution system.
FITS
generates its revenue mostly from booth sales.
ASAP China Buying
Trip
It was
the first buying tour of its kind designed for United States and European Union
buyers prepared to place production orders, license their brands, understand
China's distribution channels, find joint venture possibilities and relocate
United States textile plants to China. Management is planning to conduct
multiple, but small size buying trips to China and Southeast Asia countries
annually.
Eco Show
Environment
concerned green nature products is the main focus of Eco Trade Show, a division
of ASAP Show, which was launched its first edition in February
2007.
Consulting
Services
China is
undoubtedly the fastest growing market in the World. China has suffered less
affect from the World Economic deterioration in late
2008. International brands are still eager to enter the China
domestic market. ASAP Expo is in the perfect position and timing to be the
bridge between West and East. ASAP Expo acts as a consultant for international
brands to locate all retail channels including web, retail store boutique shops,
department store corner locations, or mail order.
Global Financial
Platform
The
Company developed a patent-pending global financial platform, levied with CIT -
a factoring accounts receivable guarantee service. This process allows overseas
sellers to gain cash advances through their local bank and eliminate the need
for letters of credit to sell international merchandise. The application for the
patent was filed in 2001. Due to the U. S. Patent Office's workload, the Company
has not received any response to the filing. Therefore, the Company cannot
predict when or if this patent will be granted. The GFP is in its development
stage. There can be no assurance as to when or if the GFP will be
utilized.
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Three
Months Ended March 31, 2009 and 2008
Revenue
Revenues
from transaction sales for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were $0, a
decrease of $6,359 or 100% compared to $6,359 for the same period last year. The
reason for such a decrease on transaction sales was because the Company changed
business direction and services during the period. The Company does not consider
transaction sales a significant percentage of the Company's overall business in
future periods, because the Company allocates most of its resources and efforts
to the consulting services.
The gross
tradeshow revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $33,005, a
decrease of $200,797 or 86% compared to $233,802 for the same period last year.
This decrease was due to decrease in number of exhibitors for the ASAP Show in
February 2009 compared to the same show in February 2008. Due to the Men's
Apparel Guild in California's ("MAGIC") Sourcing Zone is held at the same time,
management believes the competing show will make it difficult to have
significant growth for the ASAP show in the future.
Gross
revenues from the consulting fees for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were
$76,489. There was no revenue from consulting fees for the three months ended
March 31, 2008. The company anticipates significant revenue from consulting fees
in future periods, because the Company is allocating most of its resources and
efforts to monetize its knowledge and relationship between West and
East.
Operating
Expenses
General
and administrative expenses consist primarily of ASAP Global Sourcing show
production costs, attendee marketing programs, and exhibitors' promotion costs.
General and administrative expenses decreased by $195,850, or 52%, to $181,505
for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to $377,355 for the same
period last year. The decrease in general and administrative was primarily due
to the decrease in ASAP Show production expenses.
ASAP Show
production expenses decreased by approximately $164,365 to approximately $88,930
for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from approximately $253,295 for the
same period last year. Such a decrease was due to a decrease in numbers of
exhibitors, cost of venue rental decreases in Venetian Foyer compared to the
Ballrooms.
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense decreased to $20,990 during the three months ended March 31, 2009 from
$34,429 for the same period last year. This decrease is related to decrease in
borrowings on the line of credit from officers.
Income
Taxes
Income
taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were $11,300 compared to $0 for
the same period last year. The income taxes were year 2008 under-accrued income
taxes on the year 2008 taxable income resulting from the consulting fee received
in the last quarter of 2008.
Net Loss
The
Company recorded a net loss of $104,301 for the three months ended March 31,
2009, an improvement of $67,322 as compared to a net loss of $171,623 for the
same period last year. Such an improvement is mainly due to the revenues
generated from consulting fees and the reduction in trade show production
expenses.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During
three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company had average monthly general and
administrative expenses of approximately $14,000 (excluding ASAP Show production
expenses), as compared to $25,000 for the same period last year. Management
anticipates maintaining its monthly expenses in the range of $10,000 to $50,000
in the foreseeable future. The Company has switched company focus, reducing its
efforts on the semi-annual ASAP show in Las Vegas, Buying Trips, FITS and
emphasize more on Consulting Services to generate more revenues. At March 31,
2009, the Company has current assets of approximately $129,962. With the net
revenue from the ASAP shows, Buying Trips, FITS, Consulting Fees, and continuing
support from its major shareholder to provide a revolving line-of-credit,
management believes the Company will have enough net working capital to sustain
its business for another twelve months.
The
Company has a revolving line-of-credit (the "Yuan Line of Credit") from Frank
Yuan, the Company's CEO and his family, which expires on December 31, 2010 and
provides for borrowings up to a maximum of $1,500,000, as amended. The Yuan Line
of Credit carries an interest rate of 10.0% per annum. The total balance as of
March 31, 2009 was $1,259,297, and the accrued and unpaid interest was
$26,121.
The
forecast of the period of time through which ASAP Expo’s financial resources
will be adequate to support its operations is a forward-looking statement that
involves risks and uncertainties. ASAP Expo’s actual funding requirements may
differ materially as a result of a number of factors, including unknown expenses
associated with the cost of providing consulting services.
ASAP Expo
has no commitments to make capital expenditures for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2009.
ASAP Expo
does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the
amounts reported in the our financial statements and the accompanying notes. The
amounts of assets and liabilities reported on our balance sheet and the amounts
of revenues and expenses reported for each of our fiscal periods are affected by
estimates and assumptions, which are used for, but not limited to, the
accounting for revenue recognition, stock based compensation and the valuation
of deferred taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The
following critical accounting policies are significantly affected by judgments,
assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of the financial
statements:
Revenue
Recognition
The
Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 ("SAB
104"), "Revenue Recognition" which outlines the basic criteria that must be met
to recognize revenue and provide guidance for presentation of revenue and for
disclosure related to revenue recognition policies in financial statements filed
with Securities and Exchange Commission. Management believes the Company's
revenue recognition policies conform to SAB 104.
Revenues
include amounts earned under transaction sales, trade show booth sales and
subscription fees.
Transaction
Sales
Transaction
revenues are recorded in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No.
("EITF") 99-19 "Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus net as an Agent."
ASAP Expo recognizes net revenues from product transaction sales when title to
the product passes to the customer, net of factoring fees. For all product
transactions with its customers in 2008, ASAP Show acted as a principal, took
title to all products sold upon shipment, and bore inventory risk for return
products that ASAP Show was not able to return to the supplier, although these
risks are mitigated through arrangements with factories, shippers and
suppliers.
Trade
Shows
Trade
shows generate revenue through exhibitor booths sales, corporate sponsorship,
and advertising. Such revenue is typically collected in advance, deferred and
then recognized at the time of the related trade show. ASAP Expo organizes two
trade shows per year in February and August in Las Vegas.
Consulting
Fees
The
Company acts as a consultant for international brands to enter the China
market. For this service, the Company charges international brands a
consultant fee. The fee is based upon hours serviced and an upfront
retainer fee. The Company also receives a portion of royalty revenue
from the brand for sales above and beyond a pre-specified minimum
guarantee. The Company recognizes its Consultant fees and Royalty
revenue when they are received.
Deferred
Tax Asset Valuation
ASAP Expo
accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
("SFAS") No. 109, "ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES." Under SFAS No. 109, deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the 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. Management provides a valuation allowance for
significant deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such assets
will not be recovered.
New
Accounting Pronouncements
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, "Business Combinations"
("SFAS No. 141R"). SFAS No. 141R amends SFAS 141 and provides
revised guidance for recognizing and measuring identifiable assets and goodwill
acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree.
It also provides disclosure requirements to enable users of the financial
statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business
combination. It is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after
December 15, 2008 and will be applied prospectively. The impact of the
adoption of SFAS 141R on our financial position, results of operations will
largely be dependent on the size and nature of the business combinations
completed after the adoption of this statement.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51" ("SFAS
No. 160”). SFAS No. 160 requires that ownership interests in subsidiaries held
by parties other than the parent, and the amount of consolidated net income, be
clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated financial
statements. It also requires once a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained
noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured
at fair value. Sufficient disclosures are required to clearly identify and
distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the
noncontrolling owners. It is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after
December 15, 2008 and requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and
disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. All other requirements
shall be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect the impact of the
adoption of SFAS 160 to be material.
In March
2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. The new standard is intended to improve
financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by
requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their
effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash
flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application
encouraged. The new standard also improves transparency about the location and
amounts of derivative instruments in an entity’s financial statements; how
derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under
Statement 133; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect
its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The Company does
not expect the impact of this adoption to be material.
On May 8,
2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles, which will provide framework for selecting
accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are
presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) for nongovernmental entities. With the issuance of SFAS No. 162, the GAAP
hierarchy for nongovernmental entities will move from auditing literature to
accounting literature. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 162 will have
an impact on its financial position and results of operations.
The
Company continues to assess the effects of recently issued accounting standards.
The impact of all recently adopted and issued accounting standards has been
disclosed in the footnotes to the Company 's unaudited financial statements,
note 1.
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company carried out an
evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's
management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief
Financial Officer ("CFO"), of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure
controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded
that as of March 31, 2009 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective
in timely alerting them to the material information relating to the Company
required to be included in the Company's periodic filings with the SEC, subject
to the various limitations on effectiveness set forth below under the heading,
"LIMITATIONS ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INTERNAL CONTROLS," such that the
information relating to the Company, required to be disclosed in SEC reports (i)
is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to
the Company's management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure." (b) Changes in internal control
over financial reporting. There has been no change in the Company's internal
control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended
March 31, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial
reporting.
LIMITATIONS
ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INTERNAL CONTROLS The Company's management, including
the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or
our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud
and material error. An internal 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. Further, the design of a control
system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the
benefits of controls must be considered 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. These inherent limitations include
the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that
breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls
can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two
or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of
any system of controls also 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.
Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions,
and/or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.
