Endeavour International Corporation
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 — General
Endeavour International Corporation (a Nevada corporation formed in 2000) is an independent oil and gas company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of energy reserves. Our goal is to become a leading upstream company with an exploration focus primarily in the North Sea. We strive to achieve this position through acquisitions, licensing rounds and exploration drilling.
As used in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the terms “Company”, “Endeavour”, “we”, “us”, “our” and similar terms refer to Endeavour International Corporation and, unless the context indicates otherwise, its consolidated subsidiaries. The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Endeavour should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10—K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and have been presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These accounting principles require management to use estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management reviews its estimates, including those related to the determination of proved reserves, estimates of future dismantlement costs, income taxes and litigation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in these financial statements.
Management believes that it is reasonably possible the following material estimates affecting the financial statements could change in the coming year: (1) estimates of proved oil and gas reserves, (2) estimates as to the expected future cash flow from proved oil and gas properties, (3) estimates of future dismantlement and restoration costs, (4) estimates of fair values used in purchase accounting and (5) estimates of the fair value of derivative instruments.
Loss Per Share
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share includes the effect of our outstanding stock options, warrants and shares issuable pursuant to convertible debt and certain stock incentive plans under the treasury stock method, if including such instruments is dilutive.

(Unaudited)
For each of the periods presented, shares associated with stock options, warrants, convertible debt and certain stock incentive plans are not included because their inclusion would be antidilutive (i.e., reduce the net loss per share).
The common shares potentially issuable arising from these instruments, which were outstanding during the periods presented in the financial statements, consisted of:

New Accounting Developments
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new interpretation that seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of measurement and recognition in accounting for income taxes. This new interpretation also provides guidance on classification, derecognition, interest and penalties, and accounting in interim periods and also requires expanded disclosure with respect to the uncertainty in income taxes. The interpretation is effective for us as of January 1, 2007. The cumulative effect, if any, of applying this interpretation is to be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Our adoption of this standard on January 1, 2007 did not have a material effect on our financial statements.
Note 2 — Stock-Based Compensation Arrangements
We grant restricted stock and stock options, including notional restricted stock and options, to employees and directors as incentive compensation. The notional restricted stock and options may be settled in cash or stock upon vesting, at our option, however it has been our practice to settle in stock. The restricted stock and options generally vest over three years and the options have a five year expiration. The vesting of these shares and options is dependent upon the continued service of the grantees to Endeavour. Upon the occurrence of a change in control, each share of restricted stock and stock option outstanding on the date on which the change in control occurs will immediately vest. For the second quarter of 2007, we included non-cash stock-based compensation of $0.4 million and $0.5 million in general and administrative expenses and capitalized general and administrative expenses, respectively. For the second quarter of 2006, we included non-cash stock-based compensation of $2.1 million and $0.9

million in general and administrative expenses and capitalized general and administrative expenses, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, we included non-cash stock —based compensation of $1.9 million and $1.1 million in general and administrative expenses and capitalized general and administrative expenses, respectively. At June 30, 2007, total compensation costs related to nonvested awards not yet recognized was approximately $10.5 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of less than two years.
Stock Options
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Expected volatility is based on an average of historical Endeavour volatility and volatility of our peer companies where there is a lack of relevant Endeavour volatility information for the length of the expected term. The expected term is the average of the vesting date and the expiration of the option. We use historical data to estimate option exercises and employee terminations within the valuation model. The risk-free rate for the expected term is the yield on the comparable term U.S. treasury security at the time of grant.
The estimated fair value of each option granted was calculated using the Black-Scholes Method. The following table summarizes the weighted average of the assumptions used in the method.

The weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $0.82 per option.
Restricted Stock
At June 30, 2007, our employees and directors held 3.9 million restricted shares of our common stock that vest over the service period of up to three years. The restricted stock awards were valued based on the closing price of our common stock on the measurement date, typically the date of grant, and compensation expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the restricted share vesting period.

Note 3 — Acquisitions and Dispositions
Acquisition of Talisman Expro Limited
On November 1, 2006, we completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Talisman Expro Limited for $366 million, after purchase price adjustments and expenses (the “Talisman Acquisition”). As a result of the Talisman Acquisition, we acquired interests in certain fields in the United Kingdom (“UK”) sector of the North Sea.

Other long-term liabilities | | | (24,889 | ) |
|
| | | | |
| | $ | 365,645 | |
|
The purchase price allocation is based on a preliminary assessment of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Talisman Acquisition. The assessment of the fair values of oil and gas properties acquired were based on projections of expected future net cash flows, discounted to present value. Other assets and liabilities were recorded at their historical book values which we believe represent the best current estimate of fair value. These estimates are subject to change as additional information becomes available and is assessed by Endeavour.
The following table sets forth unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial and operating data which are presented to give effect to the Talisman Acquisition as if it had occurred as of January 1, 2006. The information does not purport to be indicative of actual results or of future results.

The costs not subject to amortization relate to unproved properties and properties being made ready to be placed in service which are excluded from amortized capital costs until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to such properties. We capitalized $2.0 million and $0.2 million in interest related to exploration activities for the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. For the six months ending June 30, 2007 and 2006, $4.0 million and $0.4 million, respectively, was capitalized in interest related to exploration. We capitalized $2.0 million and $2.4 million in certain employee costs directly related to exploration activities for the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. We capitalized $4.2 million and $5.1 million in certain employee costs directly related to exploration activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. For the quarter ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we included approximately $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation in capitalized General and Administrative (“G & A”) expenses in property and equipment.
Note 6 — Derivative Instruments
From time to time, we may utilize derivative financial instruments with respect to a portion of our oil and gas production or a portion of our variable rate debt to achieve a more predictable

cash flow by reducing our exposure to price fluctuations. These transactions are likely to be swaps, collars or options and to be entered into with major financial institutions or commodities trading institutions. Derivative financial instruments are intended to reduce our exposure to declines in the market prices of crude oil and natural gas that we produce and sell, to increases in interest rates and to manage cash flows in support of our annual capital expenditure budget.
During 2006, we had an oil commodity swap that was accounted for as a hedge where we paid market (IPE Brent) and received a fixed price. For the second quarter of 2006, we realized $1.6 million as a reduction to revenue related to settlements for this contract.
In connection with the Talisman Acquisition, we entered into various oil and gas derivative instruments to stabilize cash flows from the assets and satisfy certain obligations under the financing agreements that funded the acquisition. Hedge accounting has not been elected for these instruments and during the second quarter of 2007, we recorded $12.6 million in other expense related to the net unrealized losses for these contracts. In addition, we realized $3.9 million in gains on the settlement of contracts which closed during the second quarter of 2007. The fair market value of these derivative instruments is included in our balance sheet as follows: $10.3 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets, $14.5 million in other long-term assets, $2.6 million in other current liabilities and $8.3 million in other long-term liabilities.
At June 30, 2007, we had the following derivative instruments outstanding that are not accounted for as hedges:

Note 9 — Commitments and Contingencies
Rig Commitments
In 2006, we joined with several other operators in the Norwegian Continental Shelf to form a consortium that has entered into a contract for the use of a drilling rig over a multi-year period. The contract commits us to 100 days (for two wells) for drilling services by a semi-submersible drilling rig for approximately $37.8 million between mid 2008 and 2009.
In the second quarter of 2006, we entered into a rig commitment for 220 days over a one-year period beginning in May 2007 for the United Kingdom sector of the North Sea. The value of this contract is approximately $66 million. In January 2007, a $22 million escrow payment was made under the rig commitment. This escrow payment is included in “Restricted cash” on our Balance Sheet. The escrow will be released in the final two months of the commitment which we currently anticipate to be complete by mid 2008. The arrangement with Applied Drilling Technology International, a division of GlobalSantaFe, is for a heavy-duty harsh environment jack-up suitable for most drilling activities we will operate in 2007 and 2008. During the second quarter of 2007, we utilized 73 days of this rig commitment to drill the Balgownie and Emu prospects. We expect to utilize the remaining 147 days of this commitment in 2008.
Note 10 — Subsequent Events
Subsequent to June 30, 2007, we executed two natural gas collars. The first contract covers 6,000 Mcf per day from October to December 2007 with a ceiling price of £4.11 per Mcf, and a floor price of £3.75 per Mcf, thereby increasing the coverage of our outstanding commodity derivatives to approximately 50% of our anticipated production for the remainder of 2007. The second contract covers 2,500 Mcf per day from January to December 2008 with a ceiling price of £4.44 per Mcf, and a floor price of £3.50 per Mcf.

Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “Endeavour,” “we,” “us” or “our” mean Endeavour International Corporation or any of our consolidated subsidiaries or partnership interests. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report.
General
We are an international oil and gas exploration and production company focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of energy reserves. Since focusing our operations in the North Sea in February 2004, we have established an exploration portfolio with prospects in the United Kingdom and Norwegian sectors of the North Sea. To date, we have invested a significant amount of our resources on various development, acquisition and exploration projects. We intend to continue to allocate a significant portion of our capital to such projects.
The Acquisition
On November 1, 2006, we completed the Talisman Acquisition for $366 million, after purchase price adjustments and expenses. As a result of the Talisman Acquisition, we acquired interests in certain producing fields in the United Kingdom sector of the North Sea and over seven million barrels of oil equivalent (“BOE”) of proved reserves as of the closing date. The Talisman Acquisition was financed in four parts:
| • | | 37.8 million shares of common stock in the fourth quarter of 2006 for $89 million in gross proceeds; |
15
Endeavour International Corporation
| • | | 125,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock for $125 million in gross proceeds; |
|
| • | | $150 million in a borrowing base debt facility, before financing costs paid of $3.2 million; and |
|
| • | | $75 million in a second lien term loan, before financing costs paid of $2.6 million. |
Results of Operations
Our revenues are sensitive to changes in prices received for our products. Our production is sold at prevailing market prices which fluctuate in response to many factors that are outside of our control. Given the current tightly balanced supply-demand market, small variations in either supply or demand, or both, can have dramatic effects on prices we receive for our oil and natural gas production. While the market price received for oil and natural gas varies among geographic areas, oil trades in a worldwide market, whereas natural gas, which has a limited global transportation system, is subject to local supply and demand conditions. Consequently, price movements for all types and grades of crude oil generally move in the same direction, while natural gas price movements have historically followed local market conditions. The majority of our natural gas is sold in the UK market. UK natural gas prices are influenced by European natural gas markets, liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) supply and new Norwegian gas supply. With the advent of more LNG facilities, natural gas price movements will also become more global in nature with a likely convergence between European and North American markets.
For the second quarter of 2007 and 2006, we had production of 706,000 BOE and 135,169 BOE, respectively. During the six months ending June 30, 2007 and 2006, we had production of 1,619,316 BOE and 288,279 BOE, respectively. This increase reflects production resulting from the assets acquired in the Talisman Acquisition. The following table shows our average sales volumes, sales prices and average production costs for the periods presented.

During the six months ending June 30, 2007, we realized $15.0 million in gains on the settlement of commodity derivatives, compared to $2.7 million in losses for the same six month period in 2006. For the six months ending June 30, 2007, we also recognized $28.3 million in losses on the mark-to-market of our commodity derivatives that were not accounted for as hedges with no gain or loss for the same period in 2006. In the second quarter of 2007, we realized $3.9 million
17

in gains on the settlement of commodity derivatives, compared to $1.6 million in losses for the same period in 2006. In the second quarter of 2007, we also recognized $12.6 million in losses on the mark-to-market of our commodity derivatives with no gain or loss for the same period in 2006.
Operating expenses increased to $9.7 million for the second quarter of 2007 as compared to $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2006. For the six months ending June 30, 2007, operating expenses increased to $20.4 million as compared to $5.2 million for the same period in 2006. The increase was due to the effect of the Talisman Acquisition. Operating costs per BOE decreased from $22.28 per BOE in the second quarter of 2006 to $13.76 per BOE in the second quarter of 2007, and from $17.89 per BOE for the six months ending June 30, 2006 to $12.61 per BOE for the six months ending June, 30, 2007. These decreases were due to the full year impact of the lower operating costs per BOE for our acquired UK properties.
Impairment of oil and gas properties of $0.9 million for the first quarter of 2006 represents the final abandonment and rig demobilization costs incurred on the Turriff well which was determined to be unsuccessful in the fourth quarter of 2005.
G&A expenses decreased to $5.2 million during the second quarter of 2007 as compared to $5.3 million for the corresponding period in 2006. G&A expenses decreased to $10.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $10.7 million for the corresponding period in 2006. These decreases resulted from changes in non-cash stock-based compensation as a result of the final vesting of inducement grants given in 2004 upon the formation of Endeavour and current year forfeitures. The decreases were offset by increases resulting from compensation expense, legal and tax consulting fees and occupancy costs. The compensation expense increase reflects additional payroll taxes and salary expense related to increases in staffing. Occupancy costs increased due to additional rental space related to the staffing increase, while property acquisitions furthered the increase in legal and tax consulting fees. Components of G&A expenses for these periods are as follows:

After the closing of our acquisition of the Enoch field and the Talisman Acquisition in the UK in 2006, our income tax expense relates primarily to operations in the UK and Norway. During 2007, we incurred taxes in all of the jurisdictions where we do business, except for the United States (U.S.), whereas in 2006, we incurred taxes only on our Norwegian operations. After closing the Talisman Acquisition, we began recording tax expense (benefit) for our UK operations and removed the valuation allowances previously recorded. The change in income taxes from an expense of $6.8 million to a benefit of $0.6 million for the six months of 2006 and 2007, respectively, is primarily the result of the establishment of a tax paying position in the UK upon closing the acquisitions.
In 2007 and 2006, we have not recorded any income tax benefits in the U.S. as there was no assurance that we could generate any U.S. taxable earnings, and therefore recorded a valuation allowance of the full amount of deferred tax asset generated. In addition, we have not recorded any income tax benefits in the UK or The Netherlands during the six months ended June 30,
19
Endeavour International Corporation
2006 as there was no assurance that we could generate any taxable earnings, and therefore recorded valuation allowances on the full amount of deferred tax assets generated.
As our deferred tax liabilities in the UK, The Netherlands and Norway are denominated in their respective currencies, we revalue those deferred tax liabilities to the applicable foreign currency exchange rate at the end of each period. Those foreign currency gains and losses are included in income tax expense as shown above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
With our acquisition of interests in producing fields in the United Kingdom in 2006, we gained a production base that we believe will generate significant cash flow to fund our future growth plans and ongoing operations for 2007 and 2008.
Cash flows provided by operating activities increased to $78.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to cash flows used by operating activities of $13.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 primarily due to the cash flows from the assets acquired in the Talisman Acquisition and receipt of significant receivables that were accrued at December 31, 2006.
As previously discussed, we completed the Talisman Acquisition in late 2006, financed through the issuance of common stock, convertible preferred stock and debt. This acquisition significantly increased the size of our production and reserves upon closing and should also provide cash flow to support our ongoing drilling programs for the next several years. Annual dividends on the convertible preferred stock are expected to be $11 million, assuming we pay the dividends in stock. The debt issued in connection with the Talisman Acquisition bears interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin. In the first quarter of 2007, we entered into an interest rate swap for a notional amount of $37.5 million whereby we pay a fixed rate of 5.05% and receive LIBOR. We expect to have cash interest expense, including the effect of the interest rate swap, of approximately $24 million annually.
Our senior bank facility is based on a borrowing base tied to our oil and gas reserves and is subject to revision every six months with an independent reserve report required every 12 months. The available borrowing base is $173 million, of which $117 million was outstanding at June 30, 2007. The senior bank facility also provides for issuances of letters of credit of up to an aggregate $60 million. All letters of credit issued under the senior bank facility will reduce the total amount available for drawing under the senior bank facility, except for letters of credit issued to secure abandonment liabilities. As of June 30, 2007, we have $41.3 million of outstanding letters of credit related to abandonment liabilities on certain of our oil and gas properties.
2007 Outlook
With the Talisman Acquisition, we increased our production to approximately 9,000 BOE per day for the last two months of 2006 based on the number of days we owned Talisman. For the six months ending June 30, 2007, our production averaged 8,950 BOE per day. While
20
Endeavour International Corporation
production for the second quarter of 2007 was lower than production for the first quarter of 2007, the decrease was primarily attributable to downtime for planned maintenance activities and the timing of oil tanker liftings. We now expect full year production for 2007 to range from 9,000 to 9,400 BOE per day, reflecting the full year impact of the Talisman Acquisition and initial sales from the production from the Enoch field. While we completed the development project at the Enoch field and began initial production at the end of May, no sales were recorded in the second quarter of 2007 from this field since there was not a lifting of oil during the quarter. According to the sales method of accounting, oil revenues are recognized when production is sold to a purchaser at a fixed or determinable price, when delivery has occurred and title has transferred, and collectibility of the revenue is probable.
Oil prices continue to be impacted by supply and demand on a worldwide basis, while natural gas prices are more impacted by regional economic and weather patterns. While oil prices continue to remain strong, natural gas prices in the UK have declined significantly since year-end due primarily to warmer weather conditions and increases in the supply of natural gas available from Norway. In connection with the Talisman Acquisition, we entered into commodity derivative instruments to secure our realized prices for a portion of our oil and gas production through 2011. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements herein for more discussion of our commodity derivative instruments.
We expect operating costs per BOE to be in the range of $12 to $13 per BOE for the remainder of 2007. Commodity prices can also affect our operating cash flow through an indirect effect on operating expenses. Significant commodity price increases, as experienced in recent years, can lead to an increase in drilling and development activities. As a result, the demand and cost for people, services, equipment and materials may also increase, causing a negative impact on our cash flow.
Drilling Program
During the second quarter of 2007, we revised our annual capital budget downward from $92 million to approximately $80 million for oil and gas exploration and development in the North Sea, of which $41 million has been spent during the six months ending June 30, 2007. This revision reflects delays in exploration projects, primarily due to the availability of rigs under our rig commitment; delays in appraisal work on the Columbus prospect (where we expect to drill an appraisal well in the third quarter) and a shifting emphasis to our current producing and development projects. Throughout 2007, an estimated annual $40 million will be allocated to exploration drilling activities and the remainder to data acquisition and analysis and development projects. More than two-thirds of the 2007 capital program is expected to be spent in the UK sector of the North Sea. The rest of the capital budget will be directed toward exploration and development activities in Norway. We may further increase or decrease our planned activities for 2007 or optimize of our prospects, depending upon drilling results, potential acquisition candidates, product prices, the availability of capital resources, and other factors affecting the economic viability of such activities.
Capital expenditures for the first half of 2007 have been focused on the following projects:
21
Endeavour International Corporation
| • | | completion of the development project at the Enoch field where initial production began at the end of May; |
|
| • | | exploration drilling at the Acer prospect (5% working interest); |
|
| • | | exploration drilling at the Balgownie prospect (45% working interest); |
|
| • | | exploration drilling at the Emu prospect (well operator with a 25% working interest); and |
|
| • | | ongoing work on the gas blowdown project at the Njord field to increase gas production and the life of the field (2.5% working interest). |
Each of the exploration projects were plugged and abandoned.
During the second half of 2007, our capital expenditures are anticipated to be $40 million and focus on the following projects:
| • | | the first appraisal well at last year’s Columbus discovery (25% working interest); |
|
| • | | exploration drilling on the NW Flank prospect (2.5% working interest); |
|
| • | | completion of the gas blowdown project at the Njord field; and |
|
| • | | development drilling at the Brage field (4.4% working interest). |
Rig Commitments
We have a consortium with several other operators in the Norwegian Continental Shelf that has entered into a contract for the use of a drilling rig over a multi-year period. The contract commits us to 100 days (for two wells) for drilling services conducted by the Bredford Dolphin, a semi-submersible drilling rig, for approximately $37.8 million, between mid 2008 and 2009. The agreement allows us to move forward with our exploration program in Norway and fulfill our role as an operator of Norwegian licenses.
During the second quarter of 2006, we entered into a rig commitment for 220 days over a one-year period beginning in May 2007 for the UK sector of the North Sea. The value of this contact is approximately $66 million. A $22 million escrow payment was made under the rig commitment. The arrangement with Applied Drilling Technology International, a division of GlobalSantaFe, is for a heavy-duty harsh environment jack-up suitable for most drilling activities we expect to operate in 2007 and 2008. During the second quarter of 2007, we utilized 73 days of this rig commitment to drill the Balgownie and Emu prospects. We expect to utilize the remaining 147 days of this commitment in 2008.
We believe these rig-contracting efforts offer compelling economics and facilitate our drilling strategy.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Foreign Exchange Risk
The international scope of our business operations exposes us to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency markets. As a result, we are subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk due to effects that foreign exchange rate movements have on our costs and on the cash flows that we receive from foreign operations. We operate a centralized currency management operation to take advantage of potential opportunities to naturally offset exposures against each other. To date, we have addressed our foreign currency exchange rate risks principally by maintaining our liquid assets in interest-bearing accounts, until payments in foreign currency are required, but we have not reduced this risk by hedging to date.
Commodity Price Risk
We produce and sell crude oil and natural gas. Realized pricing is primarily driven by the prevailing worldwide price for crude oil and regional gas spot market prices which have been volatile and unpredictable for several years. As a result, our financial results can be significantly impacted as these commodity prices fluctuate widely in response to changing market forces. We may engage in oil and gas hedging activities to realize commodity prices which we consider favorable. For additional information regarding our derivative instruments, see Note 6 “Derivative Instruments.”
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to changes in interest rates. Changes in interest rates affect the interest earned on cash and cash equivalents and the interest rate paid on borrowings under debt. As of June 30, 2007, we had no interest rate derivative financial instruments.
Subsequent to 2006, we entered into an interest rate swap for a notional amount of $37.5 million whereby we pay a fixed rate of 5.05% and receive three-month LIBOR through November 2009. A 250 change in basis points on LIBOR would result in a $0.4 million change in our annual interest expense, given our floating rate debt at June 30, 2007 and interest rate swap.
Item 4: Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our chief executive officer (the “CEO”) and chief accounting officer (the “CAO”) who serves as our principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CAO concluded:
(i) that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in our reports filed or submitted under the
23
Endeavour International Corporation
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (b) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CAO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure; and
(ii) that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2007.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our system of internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
