TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE
A - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
SORL Auto
Parts, Inc.( “the Company”) is principally engaged in the manufacture and
distribution of automotive air brake systems, air controlling systems and other
related components for different types of commercial vehicles, such as trucks,
and buses, through its 90% ownership of Ruili Group Ruian Auto Parts Company
Limited (“Ruian”) in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”) and 60%
ownership of SORL International Holding, Ltd. ("SIH") in Hong Kong. The Company
distributes products both in China and internationally under SORL trademarks.
The Company’s product range includes 40 categories of brake systems with over
1000 different specifications.
On
November 11, 2009, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with MGR,
a Hong Kong-based global auto parts distribution specialist firm and a
Taiwanese investor. The new joint venture was named SORL International Holding,
Ltd. ("SIH"). SORL holds a 60% interest in the joint venture, MGR holds a 30%
interest, and the Taiwanese investor holds a 10% interest. SIH is primarily
devoted to expanding SORL's international sales network in Asia-Pacific and
creating a larger footprint in Europe, the Middle East and Africa with a target
to create a truly global distribution network. Based in Hong Kong, SIH is
expanding and establishing channels of distribution in international markets
with SORL's primary products, including spring brake chambers, clutch servos,
air dryers, relay valves and hand brake valves.
On
February 8, 2010, the Company sold 1,000,000 shares of its common stock to
selected institutional investors at a price of $10.00 per share pursuant to a
registered direct offering. This transaction provided net proceeds of
approximately $9.4 million. On March 9, 2010, through Fairford, SORL invested
$9.349 million in its operating subsidiary, the Ruili Group Ruian Auto Parts
Co., Ltd.(the “Joint Venture”) To maintain its 10% shareholding in the Joint
Venture, the Ruili Group increased its capital investment by $1.039 million.
Accordingly, SORL continues to hold a 90% controlling interest in the operating
subsidiary.
NOTE
B - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The
condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
conjunction with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted as permitted by the rules and regulations of the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission, although the Company believes that the
disclosures contained in this report are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial
statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form
10-K and other reports filed with the SEC.
The
accompanying condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements
reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods
presented. The results of operations for these periods are not necessarily
comparable to, or indicative of, results of any other interim period or for the
fiscal year taken as a whole.
NOTE
C- RECENTLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STANDARDS
In
December 2007, the FASB issued FASB ASC 810-10-65 (Prior authoritative
literature: FASB Statement No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB No.51") of which the objective is to
improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial
information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial
statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards by requiring all
entities to report noncontrolling (minority) interests in subsidiaries in the
same way - as an entity in the consolidated financial statements. Moreover, FASB
ASC 810-10-65 eliminates the diversity that currently exists in accounting for
transactions between an entity and noncontrolling interests by requiring they be
treated as equity transactions.
FASB ASC
810-10-65 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The
adoption of these standards has not had any significant impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
In June
2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 860-10-05 (Prior authoritative literature: FASB
Statement No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of
FASB Statement No. 140”). FASB ASC 860-10-05 improves the relevance,
representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a
reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of
financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial
performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any,
in transferred financial assets. FASB ASC 860-10-05 is effective as of the
beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins
after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting
period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. As such, the
Company is required to adopt this standard in January 2010. The adoption of FASB
ASC 860-10-05 has not had a material effect on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements.
In June
2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 810-10-05 (Prior authoritative literature: FASB
Statement No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”). FASB ASC
810-10-05 improves financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable
interest entities and to address (1) the effects on certain provisions of prior
authoritative literature FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003),
“Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, as a result of the elimination of
the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in prior authoritative literature
SFAS 166 and (2) constituent concerns about the application of certain key
provisions of prior authoritative literature Interpretation 46(R), including
those in which the accounting and disclosures under the Interpretation do not
always provide timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement
in a variable interest entity. FASB ASC 810-10-05 is effective as of the
beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins
after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting
period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. As such, the
Company is required to adopt this standard in January 2010. The adoption of FASB
ASC 810-10-05 has not had a material effect on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements.
In June
2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 105-10 (Prior authoritative literature: FASB
Statement No. 168, "
The FASB
Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles
”). FASB ASC 105-10 replaces prior authoritative
literature SFAS 162 and establishes the
FASB Accounting Standards
Codification
as the source of authoritative accounting principles
recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. FASB ASC
105-10 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual
periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of FASB ASC 105-10 has not
had a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
In June
2009, the FASB issued revised authoritative guidance related to variable
interest entities, which requires entities to perform a qualitative analysis to
determine whether a variable interest gives the entity a controlling financial
interest in a variable interest entity. The guidance also requires an
ongoing reassessment of variable interests and eliminates the quantitative
approach previously required for determining whether an entity is the primary
beneficiary. This guidance, which was reissued by the FASB in December
2009 as ASU No. 2009-17, “Improvements to Financial Reporting by
Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities,” amends ASC Topic 810,
“Consolidation”, and will be effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first
annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009 (January 1, 2010 for
the Company). The adoption of this guidance has not had a significant
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In
January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Updated (ASU) No. 2010-06,
“Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” which amends ASC 820,
“Fair Value Measures and Disclosures.” ASU No. 2010-06 amends the ASC to
require disclosure of transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value
measurements, and also require more detailed disclosure about the activity
within Level 3 fair value measurements. The changes to the ASC as a result
of this update are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2009 (January 1, 2010 for the Company), except for the
requirements related to Level 3 disclosures, which are effective for annual and
interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010 (January 1, 2011 for
the Company). This guidance requires new disclosures only, and has had no
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Pursuant
to the relevant laws and regulations of Sino-foreign joint venture enterprises,
the profits of the Company's subsidiary, which are based on their PRC statutory
financial statements, are available for distribution in the form of cash
dividends after they have satisfied all the PRC tax liabilities, provided for
losses in previous years, and made appropriations to reserve funds, as
determined at the discretion of the board of directors in accordance with PRC
accounting standards and regulations.
As
stipulated by the relevant laws and regulations for enterprises operating in the
PRC, the Company's Sino-foreign joint venture is required to make annual
appropriations to the statutory surplus funds. In accordance with the relevant
PRC regulations and the articles of association of the respective companies, the
Joint Venture is required to allocate a certain percentage of its profits
after taxation, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards
applicable to the Company, to the statutory surplus reserve until such reserve
reaches 50% of the registered capital of the Company.
Net
income as reported in the US GAAP financial statements differs from that as
reported in the PRC statutory financial statements. In accordance with the
relevant laws and regulations in the PRC, the profits available for distribution
are based on the statutory financial statements. If the Joint Venture has
foreign currency available after meeting its operational needs, the Joint
Venture may make its profit distributions in foreign currency to the extent
foreign currency is available. Otherwise, it is necessary to obtain approval and
convert such distributions at an authorized bank. The reserve fund consists of
retained earnings which has been allocated to the statutory reserve
fund.
NOTE
N - INCOME TAXES

Venture is registered in the PRC, and is therefore subject to state and local

reported in the PRC statutory financial statements in accordance with relevant
income tax laws. According to applicable tax laws regarding Sino-Foreign Joint
Venture, the Joint Venture is exempted from income taxes in the PRC for the
fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. Thereafter, the Joint Venture is
entitled to a 50% income tax deduction for the following three years ended
December 31, 2006, 2007, and 2008. As a result of the Joint Venture
obtaining its Sino-foreign joint venture status in 2004, in accordance with
applicable PRC tax regulations, the Joint Venture was exempted from PRC income
tax in both fiscal 2004 and 2005. Thereafter, the Joint Venture is entitled to a
tax concession of 50% of the applicable income tax rate of 26.4% for the two
years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007. With the new PRC Enterprise Income Tax
Law, effective on 1st January 2008, the China’s enterprises are generally
subject to a PRC income tax rate of 25% and the Joint Venture is entitled to a
tax concession of 50% of the applicable income tax rate of 25% for the year
ended December 31, 2008.
Additionally,
the Company increased its investment in the Joint Venture as a result of its
financing in December, 2006. In accordance with the Income Tax Law of the
People's Republic of China on Foreign-invested Enterprises and Foreign
Enterprises, the Joint Venture is eligible for additional preferential tax
treatment. For the years 2007 and 2008, the Joint Venture entitled to an income
tax exemption on all pre-tax income generated by the company above its pre-tax
income generated in the fiscal year 2006. Thereafter, the Joint Venture will
enjoy a 50% exemption from the effective income tax rate on any pre-tax income
above its 2006 pre-tax income, to be recognized in the years 2009, 2010 and
2011. The above taxation exemption was superseded, because the Joint
Venture has been awarded the Chinese government's "High-Tech Enterprise"
designation. The High-Tech Enterprise certificate is valid for three years and
provides for a reduced tax rate of 15% for years 2009 through 2011. So, the
Company’s effective income tax rate will be 15% for years 2009 through
2011.
The
reconciliation of the effective income tax rate of the Joint Venture to the
statutory income tax rate in the PRC for the first quarter of 2010 and 2009 is

Global
financial conditions, involving a worldwide macroeconomic decline and weak
global auto market, caused the demand for our products to decline
during the first quarter of 2009. However, the Chinese’s government’s 4
trillion RMB stimulus package, which positively affected the development of
China’s automobile industry, materially benefited our results in first
quarter of 2010. Further, we promoted our integrated system and modular
supplies of air brake systems to our OEM customers and we increasingly
focused on the light duty, bus and agricultural vehicle market in 2010. As a
result of these positive factors, our sales to the Chinese OEM
market increased by $10 million to $19.2 million for the first quarter
of 2010, compared to $9.2 million for the same period of 2009.
We
achieved total revenue of $6.4 million in Chinese aftermarket sales for the
three months ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of $0.1million, or 1.5% from
the
same
period of last year.
The global
financial crisis has negatively affected our international customers and caused
many world currencies to depreciate against the US dollar, while
the lack of confidence in the growth of the world macro-economy
caused our customers to decrease their inventories in order to lower their
risk in the first quarter of 2009. With the recovery of global economy and
customers' confidence in the growth of economy in 2010, our export sales
increased by $3.9 million or 84.8%, to $8.5 million for the first quarter of
2010, as compared to $4.6 million for the same period of 2009.
COST
OF SALES AND GROSS PROFIT
For the
quarter ended March 31, 2010, cost of sales was $24,455,082, an increase of
$9,724,157, or 66.0% from $14,730,925 for the same period last
year.
From
$5,512,813 for the first quarter of 2009 to $9,649,972 for the first
quarter of 2010, gross profit increased by 75%, exceeding our cost of sales
increase rate. Our gross margin increased 1.1 percentage points for the
three months ended March 31, 2010, to 28.3% from 27.2 % for the same period
of 2009.
We
believe that the improvements in gross profits and gross margin reflect our
focus on increasing production efficiency, improving the technologies of
products, and improving our product portfolio. We believe that our continued
expansion to higher-profit new products will also help us to maintain or
increase our gross profit margins.
SELLING
AND DIS
TR
IBUTION
E
XPENSES
Selling
and distribution expenses were $1,984,024 for the three months ended March
31, 2010, as compared to $1,317,734 for the same period of 2009,
an increase of $666,290 or 50.6 %. The increase was mainly due to
the increased transportation expense, packaging expense and
accrued warranty expenses as a result of increased sales. As a percentage
of sales revenue, selling expenses decreased to 5.8% for the three months
ended March 31, 2010, as compared to 6.5% for the same period in
2009.
GENERAL
AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
General
and administrative expenses were $2,286,861 for the three months ended
March 31, 2010, as compared to $2,026,298 for the same period of 2009,
an increase of $260,563 or 12.9%. The increase was mainly due to
increased staff salary, welfare costs and travel expenses for business
expansion. As a percentage of sales revenue, general and
administrative expenses decreased to 6.7% for the three months ended March
31, 2010, as compared to 10.0% for the same period in 2009.
RESEARCH
AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSE
For the
three months ended March 31, 2010, research and development expense was
$1,321,053, as compared to $766,451 for the same period of 2009, an increase of
$554,602. The Company will continue to invest in new product development,
particularly in upgrading traditional valve products and in developing
electronically controlled products.
DEPRECIATION
AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation
and amortization expense increased to $855,272 for the three months ended
March 31, 2010, compared with that of $729,433 for the same period of 2009,
an increase of $125,839. The increase in depreciation and amortization
expense was primarily due to the purchase of production equipment.
FINANCIAL
EXPENSE
Our financial
expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 increased by $45,679 to
$74,641 from $28,962 for the same period of 2009, which was
mainly attributed to more interest resulted from
discounting notes receivables during the three months ended March 31,
2010.
OTHER
INCOME
Other
income was $84,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to
$39,217 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, an increase of
$45,283. Other income was mainly due to the sales of raw material
scraps.
INCOME
TAX
The Joint
Venture is registered in the PRC, and is therefore subject to state and local
income taxes within the PRC at the applicable tax rate on taxable income
as reported in the PRC statutory financial statements in accordance with
relevant income tax laws. According to applicable tax laws regarding
Sino-Foreign Joint Ventures, the Joint Venture was exempt from income taxes
in the PRC for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.
Thereafter, the Joint Venture was entitled to a 50% income tax deduction
for each of the three years ended December 31, 2008. Thus, the Joint Venture was
exempted from PRC income tax in both fiscal 2004 and 2005, and entitled to
a tax concession of 50% of the applicable income tax rate of 26.4% for the two
years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007. With the new PRC Enterprise Income
Tax Law, effective on 1st January 2008, China’s enterprises are generally
subject to a PRC income tax rate of 25% and the Joint Venture was
entitled to a tax concession of 50% of the applicable income tax rate of
25% for the year ended December 31, 2008.
The
Company increased its investment in the Joint Venture as a result of its
financing in December, 2006. In accordance with the Income Tax Law of
the People's Republic of China on Foreign-invested Enterprises and Foreign
Enterprises, the Joint Venture was eligible for additional preferential tax
treatment for the years 2007 and 2008. In those years, the Joint Venture
was entitled to an income tax exemption on all pre-tax income generated by the
Company above its pre-tax income generated in the fiscal year 2006. In
2009, 2010 and 2011, the Joint Venture will enjoy a 50% exemption from the
applicable income tax rate of 25% on any pre-tax income above its 2006
pre-tax income. The above taxation exemption was superseded, because the Joint
Venture has been awarded the Chinese government's "High-Tech Enterprise"
designation. The High-Tech Enterprise certificate is valid for three years and
provides for a reduced tax rate of 15% for years 2009 through 2011. So,
the effective income tax rate will be 15% for years 2009 through
2011.
Income
tax expense of $604,578 and $357,966 was recorded for the
quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
STOCK-BASED
COMPENSATION
On March 1, 2006, the Board of
Directors approved a total of 60,000 options to be issued to the four
independent members of the Board of Directors. The contractual term of the
options was three years. Total deferred stock-based compensation expenses
related to stock options amounted to $178,904. This amount was amortized
over the three year vesting period in a manner consistent with FASB ASC 505-50.
The amortization of deferred stock-based compensation for these equity
arrangements were $0 and $9,935 for the quarters ended March 31, 2010
and 2009, respectively. As of December 31, 2009, the 60,000 options had expired
unexercised.
On June
20, 2007, the Company granted to its previous senior manager of investor
relations, David Ming He, options to purchase 4,128 shares of its common stock
with an exercise price of $7.25 per share. In accordance with the agreement, the
option became vested and exercisable immediately on the date thereof. Total
deferred stock-based compensation expenses related to the 4,128 stock options
granted amounted to $23,201. This amount was charged to General and
administrative expenses during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. On
November 13, 2009, David Ming He exercised the options on a cashless basis and
received 460 shares of common stock, based on a formula provided for in the
initial grant.
On
January 5, 2006, the Company issued 100,000 warrants for financial services to
be provided by Maxim Group LLC and Chardan Capital Markets, LLC, with an
exercise price of $6.25 per share. In accordance with the common stock purchase
warrant agreement, the warrants became vested and exercisable immediately on the
date thereof. As set forth in the agreement, the Company had retained Maxim
Group LLC and Chardan Capital Markets, LLC as its exclusive financial advisors
and investment bankers for a period of twelve months from the date of January 5,
2006. The agreement has now expired. Total expense associated with the 100,000
warrants amounted to $299,052, which, consistent with FASB ASC 505-50, was
recognized during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
On
November 9, 2009, Maxim Group LLC transferred 35,000 warrants to OTA LLC and
35,000 warrants to Maxim Partners, LLC respectively. OTA LLC exercised the
warrants on a cashless basis on November 12, 2009 and received 6,609 shares of
common stock, based on a formula provided for in the initial grant. Maxim
Partners, LLC and Chardan Capital Markets, LLC transferred an additional 35,000
warrants and 30,000 warrants to OTA LLC on December 15, 2009 and December 11,
2009, respectively. OTA LLC exercised the warrants on a cashless basis on
December 18, 2009 and received 18,598 shares of common stock, based on a formula
provided for in the initial grant.
There
were no options or warrants outstanding as of March 31, 2010.
Although
the Company anticipates future issuances of stock awards could have a material
impact on reported net income in future financial statements, we do not expect
them to have a material impact on future cash flow.
NON-CONTROLLING
INTEREST IN SUBSIDIARIES
Non-controlling
interest in subsidiaries represents a 10% non-controlling interest in the
Chinese located Joint Venture and 40% non-controlling interest in the Hong Kong
located Joint Venture, in each case held by our Joint Venture Partners.
Non-controlling interest in subsidiaries amounted to $293,907 and $106,094 for
the first quarter ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
NET
INCOME
The net
income for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010 increased by $2,211,838,
to $3,156,749 from net income of $944,911 for the first quarter ended March
31, 2009 due to the factors discussed above. Earnings per share (“EPS”), both
basic and diluted, for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, were
$0.17 and $0.05 per share, respectively.
FINANCIAL
CONDITION
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
OPERATING
- Net cash provided from operating activities was $1,149,059 for the
first quarter ended March 31, 2010 compared with $3,145,124 of net cash provided
in operating activities in the same period in 2009, a decrease of $1,996,065,
primarily due to increases in notes receivable and inventories compared with
March 31, 2009. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, with the recovery
of global economy and good performance on our each sale segments, higher
inventories level was required for more sales order from different sale
segments. The increased inventories resulted approximately $2.0 million cash
outflow for the three months ended March 31, 2010, but the cash outflow was
offset by the cash inflow contributed from accounts receivable and advances from
customers. Most accounts receivable of our OEM customers were converted
into notes receivable during the three months ended March 31, 2010. Those notes
mature within one to six months and may be transferred to our material suppliers
as a payment at anytime. We therefore do not believe that the notes
receivable decrease our current liquidity.
At March
31, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $18,620,792 as compared
to cash and cash equivalents of $10,255,259 at December 31, 2009. The Company
had working capital of $85,990,392 at March 31, 2010, as compared to working
capital of $75,909,745 at December 31, 2009, reflecting current ratios of 5.94:1
and 5.05:1, respectively.
INVESTING
- During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company expended net cash of
$192,388 in investing activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the
Company utilized $3,225,155 mainly for acquisition of new equipment to
support the growth of the business.
FINANCING
- The Company had no borrowings under its credit facilities during the
quarter ended March 31, 2009 and 2010. During the three months ended March 31,
2010, net cash provided by financing activities was primarily attributable to
the net proceeds of our public offering of approximately $9,399,978.
Additionally, another capital increase of $1,038,900 was contributed by Ruili
Group to the Joint Venture.
Management
of the Company has taken a number of steps to restructure its customer base and
phase out accounts which had failed to make prompt payments. The Company also
placed more emphasis on collection of accounts receivable from our customers.
During the first quarter of 2010, the Company continued developing higher profit
margin new products, and adopting steps for further cost saving such as
improving material utilization rate. Meanwhile, the Company maintains good
relationships with local banks. We believe that our current cash and cash
equivalents and anticipated cash flow generated from operations and our bank
lines of credit will be sufficient to finance our working capital requirements
for the foreseeable future.
CURRENCY
RISK AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - Although our reporting currency is the U.S.
dollar, the functional currency of Joint Venture is RMB. As a result, we are
exposed to foreign exchange risk as our revenues and results of operations may
be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between U.S. dollars and RMB.
If the RMB depreciates against the U.S. dollar, the value of our Renminbi
revenues, earnings and assets as expressed in our U.S. dollar financial
statements will decline. In recent years, the RMB has been appreciating against
the U.S. dollar.
Assets
and liabilities of our operating subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars
at the exchange rate at the balance sheet date, their equity accounts are
translated at historical exchange rate and their income and expenses items are
translated using the average rate for the period. Any resulting exchange
differences are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. The
Company is adopting such steps as the diversification of currencies used in
export sales, and the negotiation of export contracts with fixed exchange
rates.
As the
Company is currently free of indebtedness for borrowed money, we do not have any
risk from an increase in market interest rates. However, to the extent that the
Company arranges new borrowings in the future, an increase in market interest
rate would cause a commensurate increase in the interest expense related to such
borrowings.
OFF-BALANCE
SHEET AGREEMENTS
At March
31, 2010, we did not have any material commitments for capital expenditures or
have any transactions, obligations or relationships that could be considered
off-balance sheet arrangements.

4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:
As of the
end of the period covered by this report, management, including our chief
executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of
the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(“Exchange Act”)). Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and
chief financial officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures
were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we
file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and
Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated
to our management to allow their timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting:
There
were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting
during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting.
