APOLLO MEDICAL HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. | Description of Business |
Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. is a leading provider of hospitalist services in the Greater Los Angeles, California area. Hospitalist medicine is organized around the admission and care of patients in an inpatient facility such as a hospital or skilled nursing facility and is focused on providing, managing and coordinating the care of hospitalized patients. Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. operates as a medical management holding company that focuses on managing the provision of hospital-based medicine through a wholly owned subsidiary-management company, Apollo Medical Management, Inc. (“AMM”). Through AMM, the Company manages affiliated medical groups, which presently consist of ApolloMed Hospitalists (“AMH”) and Apollo Medical Associates (“AMA”). AMM operates as a Physician Practice Management Company (PPM) and is in the business of providing management services to Physician Practice Companies (PPC) under Management Service Agreements.
On June 13, 2008, Siclone Industries, Inc. (“Siclone”), Apollo Acquisition Co., Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Siclone (“Acquisition”), Apollo Medical Management, Inc. (“Apollo Medical”) and the shareholders of Apollo Medical entered into an agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Apollo Medical merged with and into Acquisition. The former shareholders of Apollo Medical received 20,933,490 shares of Siclone’s common stock in exchange for all the issued and outstanding shares of Apollo Medical.
The acquisition of Apollo Medical is accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting since the shareholders of Apollo Medical obtained control of the consolidated entity. Accordingly, the reorganization of the two companies is recorded as a recapitalization of Apollo Medical, with Apollo Medical being treated as the continuing operating entity. The historical financial statements presented herein will be those of Apollo Medical. The continuing entity retained January 31 as its fiscal year end. The financial statements of the legal acquirer are not significant; therefore, no pro forma financial information is submitted.
On July 1, 2008, the continuing entity (i.e., the combined entity of Acquisition and Apollo Medical) changed its name to Apollo Medical Management, Inc. (AMM). On July 3, 2008, Siclone changed its name to Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. Following the merger, the Company is headquartered in Glendale, California.
On August 1, 2008, AMM completed negotiations and executed a formal Management Services Agreement with ApolloMed Hospitalists (“AMH”), under which AMM will provide management services to AMH. The Agreement is effective as of August 1, 2008 and will allow AMM, which operates as a Physician Practice Management Company, to consolidate AMH, which operates as a Physician Practice, in accordance with EITF 97-2, Application of FASB Statement No. 94 and APB Opinion No. 16 to Physician Management Entities and Certain Other Entities with Contractual Management Agreements. The Management Services Agreement was amended on March 20, 2009, to allow for the calculation of the fee on a monthly basis with payment of the calculated fee each month. AMH is controlled by Dr. Hosseinion and Dr. Vazquez, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President, respectively.

2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Apollo in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements. The statements consist solely of the management company, Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. prior to August 1, 2008. Commencing with the Company’s third quarter on August 1, 2008, and concurrent with the execution of the Management Services Agreement, the statements reflect the consolidation of AMM and AMH , in accordance with EITF 97-2, Application of FASB Statement No. 94 and APB Opinion No. 16 to Physician Management Entities and Certain Other Entities with Contractual Management Agreements . In management’s opinion, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods are reflected herein. Operating results for the six month period ended July 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of future financial results.
The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and do not contain all of the information that is included in the annual financial statements and notes of the Company. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes presented herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2009
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Reclassification
Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform to the six month periods ended July 30, 2009 and 2008.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Statement of financial accounting standard No. 107, Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial position for assets and liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Credit and Supply Risk
The Company’s case rate and capitation revenues, reported by Apollo’s affiliate, AMH, are governed by contractual agreements with medical groups/IPA’s and hospitals. As a result, receivables from this business are generally fully collected. The Company does face issues related to the timing of these collections, and the Company must assess the level of earned but uncollected revenue to which it is entitled at each period end. The Company does face collection issues with regard to its fee-for-service revenues. One is the estimation of the amount to be received from each billing since the Company invoices on a Medicare schedule and each of many providers remits payment on a reduced schedule. The Company has to estimate the amount it will ultimately receive from each billing and properly record revenue. With a wide variety of contract terms and providers, the Company’s revenue is not concentrated or dependent on a specific contract. No individual contract with our clients provides more than 20 percent of reported revenues.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). This Statement will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.” The scope of this Statement is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance) contracts, as described in this Statement, issued by enterprises included within the scope of Statement 60. Accordingly, this Statement does not apply to financial guarantee contracts issued by enterprises excluded from the scope of Statement 60 or to some insurance contracts that seem similar to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises (such as mortgage guaranty insurance or credit insurance on trade receivables). This Statement also does not apply to financial guarantee insurance contracts that are derivative instruments included within the scope of FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” This Statement will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Values When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly.” This FSP provides guidance on (1) estimating the fair value of an asset or liability when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly declined and (2) identifying transactions that are not orderly. The FSP also amends certain disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 157 to require, among other things, disclosures in interim periods of the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This pronouncement is effective prospectively beginning April 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard, but would not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (FSP 115-2). This FSP modifies the requirements for recognizing other-than-temporarily impaired debt securities and changes the existing impairment model for such securities. The FSP also requires additional disclosures for both annual and interim periods with respect to both debt and equity securities. Under the FSP, impairment of debt securities will be considered other-than-temporary if an entity (1) intends to sell the security, (2) more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovering its cost, or (3) does not expect to recover the security’s entire amortized cost basis (even if the entity does not intend to sell). The FSP further indicates that, depending on which of the above factor(s) causes the impairment to be considered other-than-temporary, (1) the entire shortfall of the security’s fair value versus its amortized cost basis or (2) only the credit loss portion would be recognized in earnings while the remaining shortfall (if any) would be recorded in other comprehensive income. FSP 115-2 requires entities to initially apply the provisions of the standard to previously other-than-temporarily impaired debt securities existing as of the date of initial adoption by making a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The cumulative-effect adjustment potentially reclassifies the noncredit portion of a previously other-than-temporarily impaired debt security held as of the date of initial adoption from retained earnings to accumulated other comprehensive income. This pronouncement is effective April 1, 2009. The Company does not believe this standard will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
8
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” This FSP essentially expands the disclosure about fair value of financial instruments that were previously required only annually to also be required for interim period reporting. In addition, the FSP requires certain additional disclosures regarding the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. These additional disclosures will be required beginning with the quarter ending July 31, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of these additional disclosures.
Stock-based compensation
On October 17, 2006 the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.” As of the date of this report the Company has no stock based incentive plan in effect.
Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with the Statement of financial accounting standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), “Earnings per share”. SFAS No. 128 superseded Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.15 (APB 15). Net income (loss) per share for all periods presented has been restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 128. Basic net income per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in bank representing Company’s current operating account
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes Case Rate, Hourly and Capitation revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, service has been rendered, the service rate is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonable assured. Fee for Service revenues are recorded at amounts reasonably assured to be collected. The determination of reasonably assured collections is based on historical Fee for Service collections as a percent of billings. The provisions are adjusted to reflect actual collections in subsequent periods.
The estimation and the reporting of patient responsibility revenues is highly subjective and depends on the payer mix, contractual reimbursement rates, collection experiences, judgment and other factors. The Company’s fee arrangements are with various payers, including managed care organizations, hospitals, insurance companies, individuals, Medicare and Medicaid.
3. | Uncertainty of ability to continue as a going concern |
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $1,148,950 as of July 31, 2009. Net Cash Flow provided by Operating Activities for the six months ended July 31, 2009 was $13,230.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
To date the Company has funded its operations from both internally generated cash flow and external sources. In the future, the Company may pursue additional external capitalization opportunities to fund its long-term goals and objectives.
9
4. | Accounts Receivable |
Accounts Receivable is stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided for those accounts receivable considered to be uncollectible, based upon historical experience and management's evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable at each quarter end. As of July 31, 2009, Accounts Receivable totals $330,980, net of a provision for bad debt expense of $13,717, and represents amounts invoiced by AMH.

The Company received a claim for $250,000 relating to amounts purportedly owed by the Company as a result of the initial reverse acquisition transaction. This dispute relates to the initial letter dated June 3, 2008. The terms of the letter of intent call for, among other things, the payment of cash of $250,000 within 60 days of closing. The letter of intent states, however, that it is intended to serve as a memorandum of the Parties current discussions, and that a definitive transaction agreement will follow. The letter of intent further states that both parties acknowledge that all provisions of the letter of intent are non binding, and that no contract or agreement providing for a transaction shall be deemed to exist unless and until a final agreement has been negotiated and executed. The final merger agreement that was executed contains a clause that it is the “entire agreement” and thus supersedes all previous agreements including the letter of intent; moreover, management contends that there are no additional amounts owed under the final merger agreement. The Company has not accrued for any amount asserted in the above claim as the attorney of the Company has advised that the claim is in its early stage and the outcome of this matter could not be predicted at this stage.

Overview and Recent Developments
We are a leading provider of hospitalist services in the Greater Los Angeles, California area. Hospitalist medicine is organized around the admission and care of patients in an inpatient facility such as a hospital or skilled nursing facility and is focused on providing, managing and coordinating the care of hospitalized patients.
New Business
During the three months ended July 31, 2009, the Company signed a contract with Greater El Monte Community Hospital LP, to provide physician services to the hospital. The contract has a two-year term. Under the contract, the Company is paid a monthly fee for physician advisory services plus any case rate or fee-for-service revenue generated by physician activity. In addition, we finalized an operating agreement with a Company that provides non-emergency transportation to patients between healthcare facilities or between healthcare facilities and patient homes.
by Government Sponsored Programs
Schedule payment rates are adjusted annually on an updated formula. The formula addresses the Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) that was adopted in the Balanced Budget Act of 1997. This formula has yielded negative updates every year beginning in 2002, although CMS was able to take administrative steps to avert a reduction in 2003, and Congress has taken a series of legislative actions to prevent reductions in from 2004-2009. Based on current data, CMS is projecting a rate reduction of 21.5% for 2010, if Congress does not take legislative action as they have done in prior years.
17
On July 1, 2009, CMS announced several proposals to refine Medicare payments to physicians, which are expected to increase payment rates for primary care services. The proposals include an update to the practice expense component of physician fees. CMS is also proposing to stop making payment for consultation codes, which are typically paid at a higher rates than equivalent evaluation services. Also, CMS is proposing to refine how Medicare recognizes the cost of professional liability insurance in its payment system.
If approved, we estimate that these changes, before taking into account the negative SGR update, will result in an estimated overall weighted average increase of 6% to 8% in Medicare reimbursement rates for the codes applicable to the services performed by our hospitalists.
While Congress has intervened in the past few years to mitigate projected CMS rate reductions, there is no guarantee that Congress will continue to do so in the future. Further, there is no certain way to determine the final content, timing or effect of any other healthcare reform legislation presently being considered by Congress, nor is it possible at this time to estimate the impact of any potential healthcare reform legislation on our business.
Seasonality and Quarterly Fluctuations
We have historically experienced and expect to continue to experience quarterly fluctuations in net revenue and operating results. Absent the impact and timing of the addition of new contracts with health care facilities and employment agreements with hospitalists,, our net revenues and operating contributions have and will fluctuate due to the following factors:
• | the number of physicians we have on staff during the quarter, which may fluctuate based upon the timing of hires due to the end of the academic year for graduating resident physicians, the schedule of the Internal Medicine Board exams and terminations in our existing practices; and |
• | variations in patient encounters, which are impacted by hospital census, which can be volatile, and physician productivity and often reflect seasonality due to the higher occurrence of illnesses such as flu and pneumonia in patient populations in certain quarters. |
We have significant fixed operating costs, including physician practice salaries, benefits and insurance premiums and financial results are highly dependent on patient encounters and the productivity of our hospitalists to sustain profitability. Additionally, quarterly results may be affected by the timing of acquisitions and the hiring and termination of our affiliated hospitalists.
Results of Operations and Operating Data
Three Months Ended July 31, 2009 vs. Three Months Ended July 31, 2008
Net revenues for the three months ended July 31, 2009 were $580,942, compared to net revenues of $9,795 for the three months ended July 31, 2008. Net revenues included $574,442 of net billings by AMH under the various fee structures from health plans, medical groups/IPA’s and hospitals. In addition, net revenues included one month of service fee income from the recently completed Service Agreement with El Monte Community Hospital, LP. Prior to the Management Services Agreement executed on August 1, 2008, the Company could only report the management fees charged to its affiliate, AMH. Management fee revenues have been eliminated subsequent to August 1, 2008.
Physician practice salaries, benefits and other expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2009 were $387,692, at 67% of net billing revenues compared to $15,620 at 159% of net revenues for the three months ended July 31, 2008. Cost of Services includes the payroll and consulting costs of the physicians, all payroll related costs, costs for all medical malpractice insurance and physician privileges. The Company had seven physicians under contract as hospitalists as of July 31, 2009. There were no service costs related to the service fee income.
18
General and administrative expenses include all salaries, benefits, supplies and operating expenses not specifically related to the day-to-day operations of our physician group practices, including billing and collections functions, and our corporate management and overhead. General and administrative expenses decreased $208,875, or 63%, to $122,105, at 21% of net revenues, for the three months ended July 31, 2009. General and Administrative expenses were $330,980, for the three months ended July 31, 2008. The decrease in general and administrative expenses resulted from the absence in 2009 of $278,348 of Siclone merger related costs which occurred in July 2008. The absence of these costs in 2009 was partially offset by higher costs incurred to support the continuing growth of our operations, including the full period costs of our Chief Financial Officer and Vice President of Business Development. In addition, we experienced increased legal, accounting and filing costs in support of our public environment. The Company recorded non-cash compensation expenses totaling $667, related to the issuance of shares for service in the quarter ended July 31, 2009. There were no comparable non-cash expenses in the comparable quarter of 2008.
Depreciation and amortization expense was $10,338 for the three months ended July 31, 2009. No depreciation expense was recorded for the comparable three-month period in 2008. |
The Company reported a profit from operations of $60,807 for the three months ended July 31, 2009, compared to a loss from operations of $336,805 recorded in the same period of 2008. In 2008, prior to the execution of the Management Services Agreement with AMH effective August 1, 2008, the Company only reported management fees earned and was unable to benefit from the consolidation with AMH effective that date. In addition to the increased net revenues reported in 2009 from this consolidation, the operating profit in 2009 benefitted from the absence of the Siclone transaction costs which occurred in 2008.
Interest expense totaled $4,958 for the three months ended July 31, 2009, as compared to interest expense of $16,250 for the three months ended July 31, 2008. Interest expense in 2009 included interest on the convertible notes, related party notes, and the line of credit and business overdraft facility with Wells Fargo bank. Interest expense in 2008 consisted of a debt penalty of $6,250 for late payment and $10,000 for an origination fee.
Net Profit was $55,849 for the three months ended July 31, 2009, compared to a net loss of $353,055 for the three months ended July 31, 2008, The reduction in the net loss was the result of the factors discussed above.
Six Months Ended July 31, 2009 vs. Six Months Ended July 31, 2008
Apollo reported revenues of $1,082,125 for the six months ended July 2009, compared to revenues of $19,795 in the comparable six month period ended July 2008. The Company increased its contracts with hospitals and independent physician associations to 12 at the end of July 2009. Prior to the execution of the Management Services Agreement on August 1, 2008, the Company could only report management fees charged to its affiliate, AMH. Subsequent to August 1, 2008, revenues represent the billings by AMH under the various fee structures from health plans, medical groups/IPA’s and hospitals. Management fee revenues have been eliminated subsequent to August 1, 2008. In addition, net revenues included one month of revenue generated from the Service Agreement with El Monte Community Hospital, LP. |
Physician practice salaries, benefits and other expenses were $807,247 for the six months ended July 2009, compared to $34,237 for the corresponding six months ended July 2008. Cost of Services were 75 % of net revenues in the six months ended July 2009. Cost of Services includes the payroll and consulting costs of the physicians, all payroll related costs, costs for all medical malpractice insurance and physician privileges. |
19
General and administrative expenses were $ 294,668 in the six months ended July 2009, down $ 100,830 or 25 %, from general and administrative costs of $395,498 in the six months ended July 31, 2008. These expenses represented 27 % of revenues in six months just ended. The decrease in General and Administrative costs from 2008 to 2009 was due to the absence in 2009 of $278,348 of costs related to the Siclone Merger which occurred in July 2009. This reduction in costs was partially offset by higher public-company expenses and costs related to the continuing growth of our operations, including the full period costs of our Chief Financial Officer and Vice President of Business Development in 2009. The Company recorded non-cash compensation expenses totaling $95,167, related to the issuance of shares for service in the six months ended July 31, 2009. There were no comparable non-cash expenses in the comparable six months of 2008.
Depreciation and amortization expense was $20,675 for the six months ended July 31, 2009. No depreciation expense was recorded for the comparable six-month period in 2008. |
The Company reported a Loss from Operations of $40,465 for the six month period ended July 31, 2009, compared to a Loss from Operations of $409,940 for the comparable six months ended July 31, 2008. The decrease in the Loss from Operations of $ 369,475 from 2008 to 2009 was due to the absence of the costs incurred on the Siclone transaction which occurred in 2008. The Loss from Operations for the six months ended July 2009 also benefitted from the consolidation of AMM and AMH under the Management Services Agreement. The Loss from Operations in the six months ended July 31, 2008, was due to the fact that the low level of management Fee income was insufficient to cover the costs of services and administrative costs in this formative year.
Interest expense was $9,807 for the six months ended July 31, 2009, compared to interest expense of $16,250 for the six months ended July 31, 2008. Interest expense in 2009 included interest on the convertible notes, related party notes, and the line of credit and business overdraft facility with Wells Fargo bank. Interest expense in 2008 consisted of a debt penalty of $6,250 for late payment and $10,000 for an origination fee.
The Company reported a net loss of $ 51,072 for the six months ended July 31, 2009, down $ 375,118 from the net loss of $426,190 for the six months ended July 31, 2008. The reduction in net loss from the six months ended July 2008 to July 2009 was primarily due to the Siclone costs which negatively impacted 2008, coupled with the contribution from the hospitalist services provided by AMH in 2009.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company does not hold any derivative instruments and does not engage in any hedging activities.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
a. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of July 31, 2009. Management has identified the following three material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures, and internal controls over financial reporting:
1. We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures, and concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
2. We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures, and concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
3. We do not have review and supervision procedures for financial reporting functions. The review and supervision function of internal control relates to the accuracy of financial information reported. The failure to review and supervise could allow the reporting of inaccurate or incomplete financial information. Due to our size and nature, review and supervision may not always be possible or economically feasible. Management evaluated the impact of our significant number of audit adjustments, and concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
Based on the foregoing materials weaknesses, we have determined that, as of July 31, 2009, the effectiveness of our controls and procedures over financial accounting and reporting are insufficient. The Company is taking steps to improve the timeliness and accuracy of its financial information, including the hiring of additional employees to facilitate proper segregation of duties. It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter (i.e., the six-month period ended July 31, 2009) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
