1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
CityXpress Corp. ("Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on January 7, 1999.
The Company has developed a suite of online products that provide newspapers with solutions through which they can defend and extend their position as the dominant means for local advertisers to promote themselves to local consumers. The Company's online special section product integrates niche editorial content with advertising and promotional tools that leverage a newspaper's brand and traffic. The Company's auction product allows newspapers to auction advertising clients' products in exchange for advertising credits with the newspaper, with the newspaper retaining the cash from all products that are sold in the auction. The Company intends to build further alliances with media companies who own newspaper and television stations. The Company currently operates in only one industry segment and its marketing efforts are currently targeted to the North American market.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been prepared on the same basis as the annual audited consolidated financial statements.
In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation for each of the periods presented. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be achieved for full fiscal years.
As contemplated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X, the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related footnotes have been condensed and do not contain certain information that will be included in the company's annual consolidated financial statements and footnotes. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 included in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.
The consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2003 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company incurred a net loss of $243,597 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and has a working capital deficiency of $4,933,882 and an accumulated deficit of $10,628,992 at March 31, 2003. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations and to obtain additional capital. Management expects to raise additional capital through private placements and other types of venture fundings and through financing agreements with its clients. Also, management expects to generate higher revenues and lower expenses in the remainder of the 2003 fiscal year. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time. No assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in raising sufficient additional capital or increasing revenues. Further, there can be no assurance, assuming the Company successfully raises additional funds or increases revenues, that the Company will achieve positive cash flow. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate additional financing or additional revenues, management will be required to curtail the Company's operating expenses. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the specific amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities which might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in business.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Impairment of long-lived assets
The company accounts for acquired intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets". Intangible assets consist of intellectual property and contracts acquired in the 10digit Communications acquisition[Note 4]. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over three years and will be tested for impairment whenever there is an impairment indicator.
Deferred revenue
Revenue received in advance of the completion of auctions is deferred until the related auction services have been rendered and the auctions are complete.
3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This Statement applies to all entities. It applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or the normal operation of a long-lived asset, except for certain obligations of lessees. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities", which addresses accounting for restructuring and similar costs. SFAS No. 146 supercedes previous U.S. accounting guidance, principally Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3. SFAS No. 146 requires that the liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. SFAS No. 146 also establishes that the liability should initially be measured and recorded at fair value. Accordingly, SFAS No. 146 may affect the timing of recognizing future restructuring costs as well as the amount recognized. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No.148 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure - an amendment of FASB Statement No.123" (FAS 148). The statement amends SFAS 123 "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" (FAS 123) to provide alternative methods of voluntarily transitioning to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. FAS 148 also amends the disclosure requirements of FAS 123 to require disclosure of the method used to account for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method on reported results in both annual and interim financial statements. The disclosure provisions will be effective for the Corporation beginning with the Corporation's quarter ended March 31, 2003. The Corporation has no current intention to change its policy of accounting for stock-based compensation.
In November 2002, The FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45"), "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." FIN 45 requires that a liability be recorded in the guarantor's balance sheet upon issuance of certain guarantees. FIN 45 also requires disclosure about certain guarantees that an entity has issued. The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 were effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002.
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51". FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 is effective for all new variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003.
Management's preliminary assessment of these recent pronouncements is that they will not have a material impact on the Corporation's financial position or results of operations.
4. ACQUISITION
On July 10, 2002, the Company completed the acquisition of 10digit Communications ("10digit"), the online auction division of the Winnipeg Free Press owned by FP Canadian Newspapers Limited Partnership. 10digit was acquired to facilitate expansion of the company's auction business. The purchase price for the acquisition was calculated on revenue recognized from current 10digit customers for 2002 and was satisfied through the issuance of CityXpress shares. The first tranche of 1,004,277 common shares was issued on September 9, 2002 based on revenue generated by 10 digit auctions for the first six month of 2002 and the shares were recorded at their fair value on the date of issuance.
The final tranche of 211,858 common shares was issued to FP Canadian Newspapers Limited Partnership on February 10, 2003 based on revenue generated from existing 10digit auction customers for the final six months of 2002. These shares were recorded at their fair value on the date of issuance.
The net identifiable assets of 10digit acquired from FP Canadian Newspaper Limited Partnership during the nine months ended March 31, 2003 were:
Equipment | $38,834 |
Intellectual property and contracts | 74,942 |
| $113,776 |
| |
1,216,135 shares issued | $61,357 |
Capital leases assumed | 38,834 |
Acquisition costs | 13,585 |
| $113,776 |
The results of operations of 10digit are included for the period July 10, 2002 to March 31, 2003.
As part of the acquisition, CityXpress also entered into the following agreements with FP Newspapers Limited Partnership:
- a Noncompete and Nonsolicitation Agreement,
- a Registration Rights Agreement,
- an Assignment of Intellectual Property, and
- an Assignment and Assumption of Contracts Agreement.
If this acquisition had occurred on July 1, 2002 or July 1, 2001, the following proforma results of operations have been estimated:
| Nine Months Ended March 31, 2003 $ | Nine Months Ended March 31, 2002 $ |
Revenue | 732,602 | 468,334 |
Net Loss | (791,511) | (1,590,861) |
Net Loss per share (Basic and Diluted) | (0.03) | (0.07) |
5. DEMAND INSTALLMENT LOAN

The Black Scholes options pricing model was used to value the warrants with the following assumptions: no dividend yield; risk-free interest rate of 5.0%; expected volatility of 140%; and an expected life of 3.0 years.
7. CONVERTIBLE LOAN DEBENTURES
On November 1, 2000, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement with Lee Enterprises Incorporated ("Lee") whereby Lee provided funding of $1,500,000 in the form of a floating rate subordinated convertible debenture. The $1,500,000 subordinated convertible debenture consists of a series of six debentures of $250,000 that were received by the Company during the year ended June 30, 2001. The Investment Agreement provides Lee the right to convert the floating rate subordinated convertible debenture into 6,902,429 common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $0.2173 per common share. If Lee does not convert the debenture into common shares, the Company will be required to repay the $1,500,000 loan on October 31, 2003. Each series of $250,000 subordinated convertible debenture bears interest at the Wall Street Journal rate less 1%. The weighted average effective rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 on these debentures was 3.47%. Interest for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 on these debentures amounted to $39,123.
On July 30, 2001, the Company and Lee entered into a First Amendment To Investment Agreement, which amended the Investment Agreement dated November 1, 2000 whereby Lee agreed to provide additional funding of $1,500,000 in the form of floating rate subordinated convertible debentures. The additional $1,500,000 subordinated convertible debentures were in the form of a series of twelve debentures (debentures "G-R") ranging in value from $50,000 to $310,000, which were funded during the period from August 10, 2001 to July 1, 2002. This resulted in a total investment by Lee of $3,000,000.
The first amendment to the Investment Agreement provides Lee the right to convert the second $1,500,000 floating rate subordinated convertible debenture into 8,522,727 common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $0.176. Should Lee convert both investments of $3,000,000 it would result in the Company issuing 15,425,156 common shares. If Lee does not convert the second debenture to common shares the Company will have to repay the $1,500,000 loan on October 31, 2003. Each Series "G-R" subordinated convertible debenture for the second investment of $1,500,000 bears interest at the Wall Street Journal rate less 1%.
In conjunction with the first amendment to the Investment Agreement dated July 30, 2001, the Company also amended the November 30, 2000 Loan and Security Agreement and the Collateral License Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement to reflect the Series G-R debentures
On August 1, 2002, the Company and Lee entered into a Second Amendment To Investment Agreement, which amended the Investment Agreement dated November 1, 2000 whereby Lee agreed to provide additional funding of $300,000 in the form of floating rate subordinated convertible debentures. The additional $300,000 subordinated convertible debentures were in the form of a series of three debentures (debentures "S, T and U") ranging in value from $75,000 to $125,000, which were funded on August 1, 2002, September 1, 2002 and October 11, 2002 respectively. The weighted average effective rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 on these debenture series "G-U" was 3.46%. Interest for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 on these debentures amounted to $45,124.
The second amendment to the Investment Agreement provides Lee the right to convert the $300,000 floating rate subordinated convertible debenture into 1,704,545 common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $0.176 per common share.
The second amendment to the Investment Agreement also contains certain affirmative and negative covenants that restrict the Company's activities. As of March 31, 2003, the Company is in compliance with the covenants in the Investment Agreement as amended. Interest due on the convertible debentures can be repaid or converted into shares of the Company's common stock at fair market value on the date of conversion at the option of Lee.

8. COMPARATIVE FIGURES
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified from statements previously presented to conform to the presentation adopted in the current quarter.
Item 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis
General
The Company incurred a loss for the three months ended March 31, 2003 of $243,597 as compared to a loss of $433,213 for the same period in 2002, a decrease of $189,616. For the nine months ended March 31, 2003, the Company incurred total losses of $791,511, a decrease of $728,350 over the same period in 2002.
The decrease in loss for the three months ended March 31, 2003 of $189,616 is the result of increased revenues and net reduced expenses resulting primarily from the following items compared to the same three months ended March 31, 2002:
Summary of Improved Operating Loss:
| $270,749 |
| $12,256 |
- Operating Expense Increase
| ($65,192) |
Revenue
The Company recorded revenue of $376,364 in the three months ended March 31, 2003 an increase of $270,749 over the same three months period in 2002. For the nine months ended March 31, 2003, the Company recorded total revenue of $732,602, an increase of $464,268 over the same nine months period in 2002. Total revenues have been increasing in a continued upward trend for the last ten quarters. The revenue increases for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2003 resulted primarily from increased content fees for special sections; auction revenue; and training fees for Xpress Auctions. The increased content fees are the result of additional content added to special sections for existing and new customers. Editorial content data is added to our customers' special sections and content revenue is earned on a periodic basis. The Company generates auction revenue when a customer uses our Xpress Auction product to run an online auction in their market. The Company receives a unit fee per auction article and a percentage of total auction revenue received by the newspaper. Training revenue is dependent on the customer's needs and can fluctuate each quarter.
Auction fees increased by $222,364 this quarter compared to the same quarter ended March 31, 2002. Although custom development fees decreased by $1,800, other revenue items including training fees increased by $54,834 during the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to the same period ended March 31, 2002.
Lee Enterprises Incorporated ("Lee") newspapers accounted for $76,321 of revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 or 20% of total revenue for the quarter, down from 56% from the comparative quarter, one year ago.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales decreased by $12,256 for this quarter compared to the same quarter ended March 31, 2002. This is due primarily to the temporary cancellation of Dun & Bradstreet licensing fees of approximately $56,673 that is associated with providing business listing information for Canada and the United States, and an increase in travel expenses of approximately $38,884 relating to increased auction training at various customer locations. The Company reactivated the Dun & Bradstreet business listing information for the United States portion after the quarter ended March 31, 2003 in April 2003.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses increased by $65,192 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 compared to the same quarter ended March 31, 2002. The marginal net increase is due primarily to the following:
- Increase in finance and administration expenses of $75,417 this quarter is the result of increases in depreciation expenses of approximately $11,100, a non-cash item. The increase in depreciation is primarily related to higher product development cost being depreciated this quarter. Also, an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $65,000, which relates to non-cash transactions for executive officer warrants granted during the three months ended March 31, 2003. The component of this non-cash expense relates to granting 1,310,626 warrants on March 3, 2003 to two executive officers for shareholder loans made to the Company, which resulted in a non-cash expense for the three months ended March 31, 2003 of $65,000.
- Decrease in amortization of eCommerce technology expenses of approximately $39,234, a non-cash item, is primarily attributable to the remaining balance being fully amortized in the third quarter ended March 31, 2002.
- Increase in sales and marketing expenses of $21,392 this quarter is the result of increases in additional sales staff and consultants hired to service the company's growing list of existing and prospective customers of approximately $27,800, and decrease in promotional expenses for trade show participation of approximately $5,544.
- Increase in product development and technology expenses this quarter of approximately $1,372 is primarily due to marginal additions of leased equipment expenses of approximately $2,900 compared to the previous quarter ended March 31, 2002.

The Company's quarterly results as indicated below demonstrate the quarterly improvements the Company has made in the following areas:
- Revenue has increased each quarter

Financing and Liquidity
As of March 31, 2003, the Company had a cash balance of $11,878, a working capital deficiency of $4,933,882 that included shareholders' loans of $536,942, accounts payables and accrued liabilities of $552,941, deferred revenue of $281,354, current portion of obligations under capital lease of $62,196, current portion of loans payable of $350,000 and current portion of convertible loan debentures of $3,300,000.
On March 31, 2003, the Company had an accounts receivable balance of $121,448, an increase of $118,357 from June 30, 2002. As of May 15, 2003, approximately 90% of the total accounts receivable balance have been collected from customers.
On January 10, 2003, two senior officers provided the Company $350,000 Cdn ($228,042 US) in the form of Shareholder loans. The proceeds of the loans were used partly to repay the Company's demand loan from the Canadian Imperial Bank of Canada and the remainder was used for working capital.
On July 30, 2001, the Company amended the Investment Agreement dated November 1, 2000 with Lee whereby Lee would provide additional funding of up to $1,500,000 in the form of a floating rate subordinated convertible debenture. This would result in a total investment by Lee of $3,000,000 if all debentures were funded. The additional $1,500,000 subordinated convertible debenture would consist of a firm commitment of $710,000 and a discretionary commitment of $790,000 in the form of a series of twelve debentures (debentures "G-R") ranging in value from $50,000 to $310,000 each that would be funded during the period from August 10, 2001 to July 1, 2002. As of June 30, 2002 the Company received all payments under the series "G-R" debentures.
The first amendment to the Investment Agreement provides Lee the right to convert the second $1,500,000 floating rate subordinated convertible debenture into 8,522,727 common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $0.176. Should Lee convert both investments of $3,000,000 it would result in the Company issuing 15,425,156 common shares. If Lee does not convert the second debenture to common shares the Company will have to repay the $1,500,000 loan on October 31, 2003. Each Series "G-R" subordinated convertible debenture for the second investment of $1,500,000 bears interest at the Wall Street Journal rate less 1%.
In conjunction with the first amendment to the Investment Agreement dated July 30, 2001, the Company also amended the November 30, 2000 Loan and Security Agreement and the Collateral License Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement to reflect the Series G-R debentures.
On August 1, 2002, the Company amended Second Investment Agreement with Lee. This agreement was amended to add three additional debenture series (S, T and U) which total an additional $300,000. Payments under the amendment were scheduled for August 1, 2002 for $100,000, September 1, 2002 for $125,000 and $75,000 on October 1, 2002. All the terms of the second debenture remain with the extension.
The second amendment to the Investment Agreement provides Lee the right to convert the $300,000 floating rate subordinated convertible debenture into 1,704,545 common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $0.176 per common share. As of December 31, 2002, the Company received $100,000 under the Series S Debenture, $125,000 under the Series T Debenture and $75,000 under the Series U Debenture. The weighted average effective rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 on these debentures was 3.47%. Interest for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 on these debentures amounted to $84,247.
The second amendment to the Investment Agreement also contains certain affirmative and negative covenants that restrict the Company's activities. As of March 31, 2003, the Company is in compliance with the covenants in the Investment Agreements as amended. Interest due on the convertible debenture can be repaid or converted into shares of the Company's common stock at fair market value on the date of conversion at the option of Lee.
The Third Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement was made on October 31, 2002 which extended the maturity on the loans payable from October 31, 2002 to October 31, 2003.
Based on the forecasted expenditures for the nine months ended March 31, 2003, the Company forecast minimum annual operating cash requirements of approximately $1.5 million for fiscal 2003. The Lee investment of $300,000 provides the Company 20% of this forecasted operating cash requirement. Revenue from new media companies already under contract for special sections will help offset the Company's cash flow shortfall. The Company expects to see additional revenues from Special Sections launched for existing and new customers. In fiscal 2003, Xpress Auctions have contributed significant revenues for the Company. The Company expects Xpress Auctions to continue to generate significant revenues as the Company intensifies its direct marketing efforts in the United States. The Company is scheduled to host more than 27 newspaper Xpress Auctions in the final three months of fiscal 2003, up from the 15 hosted in the previous three months ended March 31, 2003. The Company also anticipates that many clients who ran Xpress Auctions this year will contract to run another Xpress Auction in the fall of 2003. The Company is also cross marketing Special Sections and Xpress Auctions within its existing client base. Special Sections clients are contracting for a Xpress Auction, while many new Xpress Auction clients are expected to contract for Special Sections.
The Company anticipates operating revenue improvements from both Xpress Auctions and Special Sections. Based on the Company's growing success in signing new contracts, CityXpress expects that new signings with new media companies will continue and will provide additional operating cash this fiscal year.
Plan of Operation
The Company is dependent on obtaining additional financing for ongoing operation, capital expenditures and working capital. There is no assurance that such financing will be available when required by or under terms favorable to the Company.
The Company anticipates that media revenue from Lee will grow as Lee implements the Company's products at more of its daily newspapers. Revenue generated from Lee for the period ended March 31, 2003 amounted to $76,321. Revenue from Lee over the next quarter is expected to increase as Lee is continuing to roll out Special Sections across their 43 daily newspaper properties, which will result in increased revenue to the Company. Freedom Communications ("Freedom") is expected to continue its rollout to its 25 Community Newspapers. As of March 31, 2003, 22 out of 25 have rolled out Special Sections. A total of 301 Special Sections have been launched as of March 31, 2003, with Lee and Freedom rolling out 101 and 187 Special Sections, respectively. The Company works closely with each contracted media company to ensure that Special Sections are launched in all their newspapers
On July 10, 2002 the Company acquired 10digit Communications the online auction division of the Winnipeg Free Press. At the time of the acquisition, 10digit Communications had run 35 auctions with the majority being for newspapers owned by CanWest Global Communications Corp. (CanWest). During the period From January to June 30, 2002, 10digit Communications generated auction revenues of approximately $167,000.
The Company has generated $161,987 in auction revenue from auction clients of 10digit Communications during the three months ended March 31, 2003. CanWest, an original 10digit client ran 11 auctions from mid February 2003 to April 2003. This will be the second time that CanWest has run auctions for these papers.
The Company expects that auction revenue will continue to increase significantly in the final three months of fiscal 2003. Freedom is expected to schedule Xpress auctions across many of its newspaper properties in the next three months of 2003, after running a successful auction at its Orange County Register newspaper in October 2002. The Company has already signed agreements for 27 auctions for the final three months of its fiscal year and expects to continue to sign agreements to run additional auctions in this period. As well as generating significant new revenue from these auctions, the Company also receives a minimum fee deposit from each customer at the time the agreement is signed, improving the Company's cash flow in advance of each auction actually taking place.
Management believes it will continue to be successful in closing additional media agreements in the next year. The Company also intends to develop additional products in conjunction with its media partners that will leverage the sales relationship it has developed with each media company. These future products will allow the media company's sales force to have additional products that they can sell to their local markets. These additional products will result in incremental revenue for the Company from its established newspaper customer base.
The Company is presently seeking additional funding through private offerings with individuals, institutions and media partners. The Company believes it can raise additional funds through these offerings.
The management of the Company believes that it will generate sufficient cash through customer deposits, increased revenue and private offerings and investments to fund its operations until June 30, 2003.
Business Risks
The Company faces significant business risks on a going forward basis, which could negatively impact the Company:
- Raising the equity financing needed to operate the Company at its current operating level and providing the operating funds, capital additions and repayment of liabilities in a timely manner. If the Company is unsuccessful in this regard it will be required to reduce operating expenditures to a level that will be in-line with cash flows.
- The Company may be unsuccessful in obtaining additional media partners and its agreement with contracted clients may result in lower revenues than projected. In either case, the Company would have to re-evaluate its business model to determine if there was another partnership arrangement that would provide the economic, cash flow or business advantages it currently believes will be provided by media companies. The Company at this time cannot assess whether it could find other business partners and negotiate favorable terms that would provide the necessary revenue and cash flow required by the Company. If the Company is unsuccessful in this regard it will be required to reduce operating expenditures to a level that will be in-line with cash flows.
- A major competitor or new company could dominate the market sector being targeted by the Company. The Company would then have to assess the impact of the situation. The United States and Canadian newspaper markets are large and there may be room for multiple suppliers to service existing media companies. If not, then the Company would have to assess other market sectors it could penetrate successfully. If the Company is unsuccessful in this regard it will be required to reduce operating expenditures to a level that will be in-line with cash flows.
- The Company is dependent on key senior development personnel who have developed the Company's core product offering. Should these individuals leave the employ of the Company it would have a setback to its future development plans. This setback would be overcome by hiring new senior developers that would have to become familiar with the Company's products.
- The Company is dependent on the continual growth of the Internet as an advertising medium for local advertisers. Should this prove untrue the Company will have to assess other business strategies for selling promotional products to local advertisers.
- Technologies may change making the Company's products obsolete. The Company is aware of changes in technology and is integrating new technologies into its product offerings to ensure that they do not become obsolete because of changing technology.
The Company's exposure to market risk is dependent upon the fluctuation of interest rates.
The risk of foreign currency is not significant and the Company does not use derivative financial instruments.
Item 3 Controls and Procedures
Within the 90 days prior to the date of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company's periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Subsequent to the date of that evaluation, there have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those internal controls, nor were any corrective actions required with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
