NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2006 AND 2005
NOTE 1- ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Perma-Tune Electronics, Inc. ("Perma-Tune") was incorporated in 1993 in the state of Texas. The Company designs and manufactures high performance electronic ignition systems for distribution throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe. On July 21, 2003, Perma-Tune acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of Trans Max Technologies, Inc. ("Trans Max"), a Nevada corporation, in exchange for 15,177,300 shares of Perma-Tune's common stock (pre 2 for 1, 6 for 1 and 1 for 200 stock splits), 910,638 post split. As a result of this acquisition, the control of Perma-Tune shifted to the former shareholders of Trans Max and this transaction was treated as a recapitalization. As a part of this recapitalization, Perma-Tune Electronics, Inc. changed its name to Trans Max Technologies, Inc. (the "Company").
NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Management Estimates
The preparation of 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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable. Generally, these criteria are met at the time product is shipped. The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties upon shipment. The Company has a no return policy and has had no returns in the last two years. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold.

NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Research And Development
Research and development activities are expensed as incurred, including costs relating to patents or rights, which may result from such expenditures.
Principles Of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Concentrations Of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which subject the Company to concentration of credit risk include cash and cash equivalents and account receivables. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions selected based upon management's assessment of the banks' financial stability. Balances periodically exceed the $100,000 federal depository insurance limit. The Company has not experienced any losses on deposits.
Property And Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of three to seven years for office furniture and equipment. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement or the life of the related lease. Additions or improvements that increase the value or extend the life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures for normal maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Disposals are removed from the accounts at cost less accumulated depreciation and any gain or loss from disposition is reflected in operations currently.

NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Income Taxes
The Company uses the liability method in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and income tax carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance, if necessary, is provided against deferred tax assets, based upon management's assessment as to their realization. The difference between the 34% federal statutory income tax rate and amounts shown in the accompanying interim financial statements is primarily attributable to an increase in the valuation allowance applied against the tax benefit from utilization of net operating loss carry forwards.
Impairment Of Long-Lived Assets
In the event facts and circumstances indicate the carrying value of a long-lived asset, including associated intangibles, may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability is performed by comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset to the asset's carrying amount to determine if a write-down to market value or discounted cash flow is required. Based upon management's evaluation, impairment write-downs of some of the Company's assets was deemed necessary in the amounts of $1,500,000 and $6,089,420 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 respectively. The Company accounts for its impairment in accordance with FASB 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” The Company tests for impairment on an annual basis, unless the situation dictates otherwise.
Fair Value Of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, receivable from affiliates, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and notes payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

Loss Per Share
Basic and diluted loss per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Common equivalent shares from common stock options and warrants are excluded from the computation, as their effect would dilute the loss per share for all periods presented.
The following is a reconciliation of the computation for basic and diluted EPS for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) published Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), “ Share-Based Payment ” (“SFAS 123R”). FAS 123R requires that compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. Share-based payment transactions within the scope of FAS 123R include stock options, restricted stock plans, performance-based awards, stock appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. The provisions of FAS 123R, as amended, are effective for small business issuers beginning as of the next fiscal year after December 15, 2005. Accordingly, the Company will implement the revised standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. Currently, the Company accounts for its share-based payment transactions under the

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
provisions of APB 25, which does not necessarily require the recognition of compensation cost in the financial statements (note 3(e)). Management is assessing the implications of this revised standard, which may materially impact the Company’s results of operations in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 and thereafter.
On December 16, 2004, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153, “ Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions ” (" FAS 153").
This statement amends APB Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. Under FAS 153, if a non-monetary exchange of similar productive assets meets a commercial-substance criterion and fair value is determinable, the transaction must be accounted for at fair value resulting in recognition of any gain or loss. FAS 153 is effective for non-monetary transactions in fiscal periods that begin after June 15, 2005. The Company does not anticipate that the implementation of this standard will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In March 2005, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Interpretation Number 47 (“FIN 47”), “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations.” FIN 47 provides clarification regarding the meaning of the term “conditional asset retirement obligation” as used in FAS 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” FIN 47 is effective for the year ended December 31, 2005. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2005, the FASB issued FAS 154, “Accounting for Changes and Error Corrections—a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.” SFAS 154 changes the requirements with regard to the accounting for and reporting a change in an accounting principle. The provisions of FAS 154 require, unless impracticable, retrospective application to prior periods presented in financial statements for all voluntary changes in an accounting principle and changes required by the adoption of a new accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the new pronouncement does not indicate a specific transition method. FAS 154 also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization or depletion method for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted

for as a change in an accounting estimate, which requires prospective application of the new method. FAS 154 is effective for all changes in an accounting principle made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company plans to adopt FAS 154 beginning January 1, 2006. Because FAS 154 is directly dependent upon future events, the Company cannot determine what effect, if any, the expected adoption of FAS 154 will have on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments. FAS No. 155 replaces FAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and FAS No. 140 Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. FAS No. 155 resolves issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.” This statement will be effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company is currently analyzing whether this new standard will have impact on its financial position and results of operations.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts for the year ended December 31, 2004 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the December 31, 2005 amounts. The reclassifications have no effect on net loss for the year ended December 31, 2004.
NOTE 3- LIQUIDITY
For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company had net income (losses) of $1,732,731 and $(66,071), respectively, and (negative) positive cash flows of $(340) and $768, respectively. The Company has been dependent on additional capital contributions from shareholders and debt financing to fund its cash requirements.
During 2006, and beyond the Company will require additional capital. Although the current majority stockholders of the Company have made a verbal commitment, with no guarantee, to continue to fund the research and development and sales and marketing efforts of the Company in

NOTE 3- LIQUIDITY (CONTINUED)
2006 if alternate financing cannot be obtained, there can be no assurance that any new capital would be available to the Company or that adequate funds for the Company's operations, whether from the Company's revenues, financial markets, or other arrangements will be available when needed or on terms satisfactory to the Company. The failure of the Company to obtain adequate additional financing may require the Company to delay, curtail, or scale back some or all of its research and development programs, sales and marketing efforts, and manufacturing operations.
NOTE 4- PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
As of June 30, 2006 the Company has no property and equipment.
Property and equipment, at December 31, 2005 and 2004, consist of the following:

Depreciation expense was $4,910 and $3,859 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Leasehold improvements of $822,420 were written-off as the building in Ronkonkoma, New York was abandoned. The Company acquired the water air machine for cash of $10,300 and a note for $1,489,700, which is currently owed (see Note 5).
NOTE 5- NOTE PAYABLE - DUE ON DEMAND
During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company defaulted on a note payable with an outstanding principal due in the amount of $1,489,700. The note was generated through the acquisition of the WAM (see note 6). The total purchase price was $1,500,000 of which $10,300 was paid at settlement. The WAM technology was deemed worthless at December 31, 2005 and was impaired in its entirety. There has been no attempt by the note holder to collect on the note during the year ended December 31, 2005.

Since the Company's common stock did not previously have a stated par value, common stock for all periods presented has been restated to reflect the par value of $0.001 per share.

NOTE 7- STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY (DEFICIT) (CONTINUED)
The Company's articles of incorporation also authorize the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with characteristics determined by the Company's board of directors. As of December 31, 2005, the Company has not issued any preferred stock.
Effective March 12, 2004 the Company's board of directors approved a six for one forward split of the Company's stock. As a result, 184,263,395 shares were issued to the stockholders of the Company. Par value of the stock remained at $0.001 per share and, accordingly, $184,263 was transferred from additional paid-in capital to common stock. The effect of this stock split was recorded retroactively in the December 31, 2003 audited financial statements and, accordingly, all references to the number of common shares and per common share amounts have been restated to give retroactive effect to the stock split for all periods presented in these financial statements.
On May 25, 2004, Eastern Business Associates, Inc., Balboa Group, Inc., and Financial Investors, Inc. each acquired 43,002,350 shares of the Company’s stock (pre-split) or 19.4% of the outstanding shares resulting in a change in control of the Company. All three companies have the same Managing Director.
On July 20, 2004, the Board of Directors adopted a resolution authorizing and approving a 200 to 1 reverse stock split with the effective date of August 9, 2004 and the trading symbol of the Company was changed to TMAX.
On August 24, 2004, the Company entered into an Agreement with Groupo Aquinas SA whereby Groupo Aquinas SA assigned to the Company all the marketing and purchasing rights to water making technologies together with all related intellectual properties, including a Water Air Machine (WAM), which produces large quantities of drinkable water from the air at a low cost, in exchange for 50,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company and $1,500,000 of which $10,300 was paid during 2004. The certificates will bear the appropriate 2-year restrictive legend. This issuance of stock changes the control of the Company to Groupo Aquinas SA, a company with the same Managing Director as the three former control companies.
The Company issued 156,000 shares of stock with a value of $156 for an intangible asset. The asset was later impaired for the full value.

NOTE 9- PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes will be determined using the liability method for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and income tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes will be measured based on the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are included in the Company’s consolidated tax return. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.
At June 30, 2006 and 2005, deferred tax assets consist of the following:
| | 2006 | | 2005 | |
Deferred tax asset | | $ | 386,233 | | $ | 819,415 | |
Less: Valuation allowance | | | (386,233 | ) | | (819,415 | ) |
Net deferred tax assets | | $ | - | | $ | - | |
At June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company had accumulated deficits in the approximate amounts of $1,544,930 and $3,277,661, respectively, available to offset future taxable income through 2025. The Company established valuation allowances equal to the full amounts of the deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of the utilization of the operating losses in future periods.
NOTE 10- GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred substantial net losses for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. There is no guarantee whether the Company will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support those operations. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s future success is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations and generate cash from operating activities, and upon additional financing. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise enough capital or generate revenues to sustain its operations. Management believes they can raise the appropriate funds needed to support their business plan and acquire an operating, cash-flow positive company.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe-harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse affect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Further information concerning our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included herein and in our other filings with the SEC.
Overview
We were originally incorporated in 1993 in the state of Texas under the name Perma-Tune Electronics, Inc. ("Perma-Tune"). On July 21, 2003, Perma-Tune performed a reverse merger with Trans Max Technologies, Inc. ("Trans Max"), a Nevada corporation, which is publicly traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol TMAX. As a result of this acquisition, control was shifted to the former shareholders of Trans Max and this transaction was treated as a recapitalization. As part of this recapitalization, we changed our name to Trans Max Technologies, Inc.
From July 2003 until May 2004, we primarily designed and manufactured high-energy electronic ignition systems for street vehicles, race cars, boats, scientific and industrial applications, space and aviation applications, as well as clean-burning fuel applications.
On May 25, 2004, Samuel J. Higgins acquired a controlling interest in our company through a group of holding companies. Currently, Mr. Higgins’ ownership stake is consolidated under the dba Groupo Aquinas, S.A. (“Groupo Aquinas”), which holds the majority (approximately 66%) of our issued and outstanding shares. Upon assuming control, Mr. Higgins discovered that our operations were, as a whole, unprofitable and unpromising. We discontinued our ignition product
operations in the late summer of 2004 and began to shift our business to other opportunities in the area of new and developing technology. Shortly after Mr. Higgins assumed control, we discovered that our finances had been badly drained by an oppressive series of agreements with WJL Realty Associates for the lease and eventual purchase of a building. In addition, we were party to a newly-discovered and previously undisclosed agreement to purchase all of the stock of Bogner Industries, Inc. (“Bogner”) which we went forward with rather than breach the purchase agreement. Investigation into the Bogner matter eventually revealed financial improprieties under previous management which further drained our funds.
In August of 2004, we acquired the intellectual property rights to an invention known as the Water Air Machine. Invented by a Russian concern known as Victor Vartovy & Company (“VVC”), the Water Air Machine was designed to produce drinkable water from moisture in the air at low cost. Due largely to VVC’s inability to assist in furthering the development of the WAM, we have been unable to produce a commercially viable product and, at this time, have no plans to pursue further development of that technology. In addition, the Bogner entity was and is deemed wholly unprofitable and has been the target of a number of lawsuits. Faced with mounting pressure from a large lawsuit brought (initially) against the Bogner subsidiary and wishing to avoid a total loss for our legitimate creditors, we filed for Chapter 11 protection.
Bankruptcy Proceedings
On September 8, 2005, we filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada (the "Bankruptcy Court"), Case No. BK-S-05-19263. We discontinued previous business operations in connection with filing the Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition. On January 25, 2006, we filed a Disclosure Statement in Support of Plan of Reorganization (the “Disclosure Statement”) and a Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") with the Bankruptcy Court, which was later amended on February 28, 2006 and again on March 22, 2006. The proposed plan was accepted by those creditors entitled to vote and a hearing on confirmation of our plan was held on April 26-27, 2006, with additional briefing submitted to the bankruptcy court following the hearing.
Subsequent to the reporting period, on August 15, 2006, the bankruptcy court entered an order denying confirmation of our chapter 11 plan. At this time, we are exploring our options which may include proposing a new plan of reorganization to the bankruptcy court. In the meantime, we continue to operate as a debtor-in-possession under chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code.
Results of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005
At the present time, we are in Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings and have no ability to generate revenue until we are able to successfully emerge from bankruptcy under a viable plan of business. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, we had no operating revenue, nor did we have operating revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005.
We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $50,639 for the three months ended June 30, 2006, and $55,434 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to operating expenses in the amount of $35,505 and $39,282 for the same periods, respectively, ended June 30, 2005.
Due to the denial of certain disputed creditor claims during the pendency of our chapter 11 case, we took one-time cancellation of debt credits in the amount of $1,808,899 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. Setting aside these events, our net operating loss for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was $50,639 and $56,324 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to net operating losses of $36,902 and $42,076 in the same three month and six month periods, respectively, ended June 30, 2005.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2006, we had current assets of $10. Our total current liabilities as of June 30, 2006 were $673,483. As a result, on June 30, 2006, we had a working capital deficit of $673,473.
At this time, we have no operations and no revenues. Although we intend to present a new plan of reorganization to the bankruptcy court, there is no guarantee that we will be able to obtain confirmation of any new plan, nor can there be any assurance that any new capital would be available to us or that adequate funds for our future operations, whether from our revenues, financial markets, or other arrangements will be available when needed or on terms satisfactory to us.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2006, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.
Going Concern
We incurred net losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. There is no guarantee whether we will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support our operations. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our future success is dependent upon our ability to achieve profitable operations and generate cash from operating activities, and upon additional financing. There is no guarantee that we will be able to raise enough capital or generate revenues to sustain our operations. Our Management believes we can raise the appropriate funds needed to support our business plan and acquire an operating, cash-flow positive company.
Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies
In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. We believe that the following accounting policies fit this definition.
Impairment of Long−Lived Assets. In the event facts and circumstances indicate the carrying value of a long-lived asset, including associated intangibles, may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability is performed by comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset to the asset's carrying amount to determine if a write-down to market value or discounted cash flow is required. Based upon management's evaluation, impairment write−downs of some of our assets was deemed necessary for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. We account for impairment in accordance with FASB 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” We test for impairment on an annual basis, unless the situation dictates otherwise.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments. FAS No. 155 replaces FAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and FAS No. 140 Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. FAS No. 155 resolves issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.” This statement will be effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. We are currently analyzing whether this new standard will have impact on our financial position and results of operations.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” SFAS No. 156 requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract under a transfer of the servicer’s financial assets that meets the requirements for sale accounting, a transfer of the servicer’s financial assets to a qualified special-purpose entity in a guaranteed mortgage securitization in which the transferor retains all of the resulting securities and classifies them as either available-for-sale or trading securities in accordance with SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” and an acquisition or assumption of an obligation to service a financial asset that does not relate to financial assets of the servicer or its consolidated affiliates. Additionally, SFAS No. 156 requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, permits an entity to choose either the use of an amortization or fair value method for subsequent measurements, permits at initial adoption a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights and
requires separate presentation of servicing assets and liabilities subsequently measured at fair value and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 156 is effective for transactions entered into after the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. We are currently evaluating the effect the adoption of SFAS No. 156 will have on our financial position or results of operations.
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of June 30, 2006. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Samuel Higgins. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2006, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2006.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving our objectives and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level. 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, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
