The Company's accounting principles generally accepted in the United States differ from accounting principles generally accepted in Canada as follows:

a) Comprehensive Income

Under US GAAP, the statement of operations is separated into net income and other comprehensive income, when applicable.

Under Canadian GAAP, comprehensive income is not separately disclosed as such.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements relate to future events or to our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may", "will", "should", "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "predicts", "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks enumerated in the section entitled "Risk Factors", that may cause our actual results or the actual results in our industry, of our levels of activity, performance or achievement to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

As used in this quarterly report, the terms "we", "us", "our" and "Ocean Ventures" mean Ocean Ventures Inc., unless otherwise indicated. All dollar amounts refer to US dollars unless otherwise indicated. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this quarterly report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs.

General

Ocean Ventures Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Alberta on November 22, 1996 under the name "CallDirect Capital Corp.". We changed our name to "Ocean Ventures Inc." on January 31, 2000, and at the same time completed a consolidation of our then issued and outstanding common shares on a 5:1 basis, effective January 27, 2001. We are also registered as an extra-provincial company in the Province of British Columbia, and are a reporting issuer under the securities laws of both the province of Alberta and the province of British Columbia.

From our incorporation until May, 1999, we were a direct reseller of telecommunication products. Pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") between CallDirect Enterprises Inc., formerly our wholly-owned subsidiary, and Healthtrac, Inc., CallDirect sold its direct marketing assets to Heatlthrac, Inc. in exchange for 1,200,000 shares in the capital of Healthtrac, Inc. On September 8, 1999, we sold all of the issued and outstanding stock of CallDirect, and certain intercompany advances owed by CallDirect, to one of our former directors and officers for nominal consideration. As we do not presently have an operating business that we can pursue, we are seeking to either identify a suitable business opportunity or to enter into a suitable business combination. Our management does not believe that we will be able to generate revenues without finding and completing the acquisition of a suitable business opportunity or entering into a suitable business combination. In addition, if no suitable business opportunity is identified, shareholders will not realize any further return on their investment in our company, and there will be no market for our common shares.

The following discussion of our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended November 30, 2002 and 2001 should be read in conjunction with our most recent audited annual financial statements, which form part of our annual report on Form 10-KSB filed on December 2, 2002, the unaudited interim financial statements forming part of this quarterly report, and, in each case, the notes thereto.

Results of Operations

Three month period ended November 30, 2002

We have reported a net loss for the three months ended November 30, 2002 of $12,237 or $0.01 per share, compared to net loss of $150,902 or $0.08 per share for the three months ended November 30, 2001.

During the quarter, we realized interest income of $800 on our outstanding cash balances. We have no other sources of income as we currently do not have an active business. We are looking to either acquire a business opportunity or to enter into a business combination with the view to once again engaging in an active business.

Our general and administrative expenses in the three months ended November 30, 2002 totalled $12,951, compared to $26,116 in total general and administrative expenses for the three months ended November 30, 2001. A significant part of our ongoing expenses is represented by business investigations with respect to our ongoing search of a proper business opportunity or business combination. Business investigations amounted to $6,102 for the period compared to $758 during the same period in 2001. We have sought and continue to seek business opportunities of merit. Accordingly, we anticipate that we will in the foreseeable future incur increased expenses related to the ongoing reorganization of our affairs, including due diligence and legal costs associated with our possible acquisition of a business opportunity or business combination.

There was a net decrease in cash during the three month period ended November 30, 2002 of $3,513 compared to an increase in cash of $118,040 for the three months ended November 30, 2001. We continued to use our cash on hand to fund our ongoing expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As at November 30, 2002

As at November 30, 2002, we had a cash position of $373,119 and net working capital of $358,146. In early 2001, we loaned $250,000 by way of a convertible debenture to Sourcexport Inc., a private Canadian corporation, of which $125,000 was held in trust pursuant to an Escrow Agreement which provided that the funds would not be advanced until Sourcexport Inc. had achieved two consecutive fiscal quarters of profitability.

Sourcexport failed to make interest payments under the debenture when due on March 31, 2001 and June 30, 2001. On August 28, 2001, we filed a Notice of Default under the convertible debenture, and we are currently investigating alternatives for the recovery of our principal investment of CDN$250,000, plus accrued interest. As at the date of this quarterly report, we have recovered a total of CDN$129,423.87, which funds represent the escrowed balance of the principal amount advanced to Sourcexport, and interest thereon. Settlement negotiations between our company and Sourcexport with respect to the amounts remaining unpaid under the debenture were unsuccessful and the balance of $125,000 was written off for accounting purposes as at August 31, 2002.

We have sufficient cash resources to fund our normal operating expenses, which total less than $10,000 per month, for the balance of the fiscal year and well into the foreseeable future. We plan to use some of our cash resources to pursue and fund new business opportunities. Additional professional fees, filing fees, and due diligence costs are anticipated as new business opportunities are pursued and due diligence is conducted on such opportunities.

On June 21, 2002, we voluntarily delisted our common shares from the TSX Venture Exchange (formerly the Canadian Venture Exchange).

We experienced a net decrease in our available cash resources over the three months ended November 30, 2002 due to our continuing need to meet ongoing general and administrative expenses.

Cash Requirements

Over the twelve month period ending November 30, 2003, we do not anticipate that we will have to raise any additional monies through the sale of our equity securities and/or debt financing. Sufficient working capital was raised through the sale of marketable securities during the quarter ended May 31, 2001, specifically the sale of certain shares that we owned in Healthtrac, Inc., that will enable us to discharge all significant liabilities and to fund ongoing corporate maintenance expenses for the next twelve months. We will use our current cash reserves to fund the identification and evaluation of a suitable business opportunity.

Product Research and Development

We do not anticipate that we will expend any significant monies on research and development over the twelve months ending November 30, 2003.

Purchase of Significant Equipment

We do not intend to purchase any significant equipment over the twelve months ending November 30, 2003.

Employees

Over the twelve months ending November 30, 2003, we anticipate an increase in the number of employees we retain only if we identify and complete the acquisition of a business opportunity or enter into a business combination. Such an increase in the number of employees may significantly increase our monthly burn rate; the actual monthly burn rate will depend on the number of employees we ultimately retain.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1998, the United States Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS No. 133 requires companies to recognize all derivatives contracts as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and to measure them at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.

Historically, we have not entered into derivatives contracts either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes. Accordingly, adoption of the new standards did not affect our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board finalized FASB Statements No. 141,Business Combinations (SFAS 141), and No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). SFAS 141 requires the use of the purchase method of accounting and prohibits the use of the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS 141 also requires that we recognize acquired intangible assets apart from goodwill if the acquired intangible assets meet certain criteria. SFAS 141 applies to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and for purchase business combinations completed on or after July 1, 2001. It also requires, upon adoption of SFAS 142, that we reclassify the carrying amounts of intangible assets and goodwill based on the criteria in SFAS 141.

SFAS 142 requires, among other things, that companies no longer amortize goodwill, but instead test goodwill for impairment at least annually. In addition, SFAS 142 requires that we identify reporting units for the purposes of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill, reassess the useful lives of other existing recognized intangible assets, and cease amortization of intangible assets with an indefinite useful life. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life should be tested for impairment in accordance with the guidance in SFAS 142. SFAS 142 is required to be applied in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 to all goodwill and other intangible assets recognized at that date, regardless of when those assets were initially recognized. SFAS 142 requires us to complete a transitional goodwill impairment test six months from the date of adoption. We are also required to reassess the useful lives of other intangible assets within the first interim quarter after adopti on of SFAS 142.

The implementation of SFAS No. 141 and 142 is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". SFAS No. 144 requires that those long-lived assets be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or in discontinued operations. Therefore, discontinued operations will no longer be measured at net realizable value or include amounts for operating losses that have not yet occurred. SFAS No. 144 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and, generally, is to be applied prospectively. The implementation of this new standard is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Factors That May Affect Our Future Results

An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this quarterly report in evaluating Ocean Ventures and its business before purchasing shares of common stock. Our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed due to any of the following risks. The trading price of the shares of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

RISK FACTORS

Scarcity of and Competition for Business Opportunities and Combinations

We are, and will continue to be, an insignificant participant amongst numerous other companies seeking to identify a suitable business opportunity or business combination. A large number of established and well-financed entities, including venture capital firms, are actively seeking suitable business opportunities or business combinations which may also be desirable target candidates for us. Virtually all such entities have significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than we do. We are, consequently, at a competitive disadvantage in identifying possible business opportunities and successfully completing a business combination. Moreover, we will also compete with numerous other small public companies seeking suitable business opportunities or business combinations.

Governmental Regulation

To the best of our knowledge, we are not currently subject to any direct federal, state or local regulation in the United States, other than regulations applicable to businesses generally.

Key Personnel

Although none of our present officers or directors are key to our continuing operations, we rely upon the continued service and performance of these officers and directors and their knowledge and ability to evaluate potential business combinations or opportunities, which is key to our future success. At this time, none of our officers or directors are bound by employment agreements, and as a result, any of them could leave with little or no prior notice.

If we are unable to hire and retain technical, sales and marketing and operational personnel, any business we acquire could be materially adversely affected. We intend to hire a significant number of additional personnel in the future after we have identified and completed the acquisition of a business opportunity or enter into a business combination. Competition for these individuals in the technology sector is intense, and we may not be able to attract, assimilate, or retain additional highly qualified personnel in the future. The failure to attract, integrate, motivate and retain these employees could harm our business.

Need for Additional Financing

We do not anticipate that we will require additional financing while we are seeking a suitable business opportunity or business combination. Further, we anticipate that we will have sufficient capital to fund our ongoing operations for the twelve months ending November 30, 2003 or until we complete a business combination or acquire a business opportunity. However, we may be required to raise additional financing for a particular business combination or business opportunity. We would likely secure any additional financing necessary through a private placement of our common shares.

There can be no assurance that, if required, any such financing will be available upon terms and conditions acceptable to us, if at all. Our inability to obtain additional financing in a sufficient amount when needed and upon terms and conditions acceptable to us could have a materially adverse effect upon our company. Although we believe that we have funds sufficient to meet our immediate needs, we may require further funds to finance the development of any business opportunity that we acquire. There can be no assurance that such funds will be available or available on terms satisfactory to us. If additional funds are raised by issuing equity securities, further dilution to existing or future shareholders will likely result. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms when needed, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate the development of any business opportunity that we acquire. Inadequate funding could also impair our ability to compete in the marketplace, which may result in the dissolution of our company.

Limited Operating History

We have a limited operating history on which to base an evaluation of our business and prospects. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies seeking to acquire or establish a new business opportunity. Some of these risks and uncertainties relate to our ability to identify, secure and complete an acquisition of a suitable business opportunity.

We cannot be sure that we will be successful in addressing these risks and uncertainties and our failure to do so could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition. In addition, our operating results are dependent to a large degree upon factors outside of our control. There are no assurances that we will be successful in addressing these risks, and failure to do so may adversely affect our business.

It is unlikely that we will generate any or significant revenues while we seek a suitable business opportunity. Our short and long-term prospects depend upon our ability to select and secure a suitable business opportunity. In order for us to make a profit, we will need to first successfully acquire a new business opportunity and then generate revenues in an amount sufficient to cover any and all future costs and expenses in connection with any such business opportunity. Even if we become profitable, we may not sustain or increase our profits on a quarterly or annual basis in the future.

We will, in all likelihood, sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenues at least until we complete a business combination or acquire a business opportunity. This may result in our company incurring a net operating loss which will increase continuously until we complete a business combination or acquire a business opportunity able to generate revenues that result in a net profit to us. There is no assurance that we will identify a suitable business opportunity or complete a business combination.

Ability to Generate Revenues is Uncertain

For the year ended August 31, 1999, we incurred net income from discontinued operations of $194,784. We sold this business effective May 15, 1999 and we will no longer receive any revenues from this business. We have not generated any revenues since May 1999 and do not anticipate generating any additional revenues until we acquire a business opportunity or complete a business combination. We have an accumulated deficit of $949,465 as at November 30, 2002. At this time, our ability to generate any further revenues is uncertain.

Voluntary Delisting from the TSX Venture Exchange (formerly the Canadian Venture Exchange)

On June 21, 2002, we voluntarily delisted our common shares from the TSX Venture Exchange (formerly the Canadian Venture Exchange). Although our common shares were approved for trading on the National Association of Securities Dealers Inc.'s OTC Bulletin Board on January 29, 2002, under the symbol "OVNIF", trading has been very limited and sporadic, making it difficult, for our shareholders to sell any of their common shares and liquidate their investment.

If plans to phase-out the OTC Bulletin Board are implemented, we may not qualify for listing on the proposed Bulletin Board Exchange or any other marketplace, in which event investors may have difficulty buying and selling our securities.

We understand that in 2003, subject to approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the NASDAQ Stock Market intends to phase-out the OTC Bulletin Board, and replace it with the "Bulletin Board Exchange" or "BBX". As proposed, the BBX will include an electronic trading system to allow order negotiation and automatic execution. The NASDAQ Stock Market has indicated its belief that the BBX will bring increased speed and reliability to trade execution, as well as improve the overall transparency of the marketplace. Specific criteria for listing on the BBX have not yet been finalized, and the BBX may provide for listing criteria which we do not meet. If the OTC Bulletin Board is phased-out and we do not meet the criteria established by the BBX, there may be no market on which our securities may be included. In that event, shareholders may have difficulty reselling any of the shares they own.

Speculative Nature of Our Proposed Operations

The success of our proposed plan of operation will depend to a great extent on the operations, financial condition and management of any business opportunity that we identify. While management intends to seek business opportunities and/or business combinations with entities which have established operating histories, there is no assurance that we will successfully locate business opportunities meeting such criteria. In the event that we complete a business combination or otherwise acquire a business opportunity, the success of our operations may be dependent upon management of the successor firm or venture partner firm, together with a number of other factors beyond our control.

No Agreement for Business Combination or Other Transaction/No Standards for Business Combination

We have no arrangement, agreement or understanding with respect to acquiring a business opportunity or engaging in a business combination with any private entity. There can be no assurance that we will successfully identify and evaluate suitable business opportunities or conclude a business combination. There is no assurance that we will be able to negotiate the acquisition of a business opportunity or a business combination on terms favorable to us. We have not established a specific length of operating history or specified levels of earnings, assets, net worth or other criteria which we will require a target business opportunity to have achieved, and without which we would not consider a business combination in any form with such business opportunity. Accordingly, we may enter into a business combination with a business opportunity having no significant operating history, losses, limited or no potential for earnings, limited assets, negative net worth or other negative characteri stics.

Continued Management Control/Limited Time Availability

We are dependent upon management's personal abilities to evaluate business opportunities that may be presented in the future. While seeking to acquire a business opportunity, management anticipates devoting up to 25% of their time to our business. Management may or may not have prior experience in the technical aspects of the industry or the business within that industry that may be acquired. Our officers have not entered into written employment agreements with us with respect to our proposed plan of operation and are not expected to do so in the foreseeable future. We have not obtained key man life insurance on our officers or directors. Notwithstanding the combined limited experience and time commitment of management, loss of the services of any of these individuals would adversely affect development of our business and our likelihood of continuing operations.

Lack of Market Research or Marketing Organization

We have not conducted or received results of market research indicating that there is a demand for the acquisition of a business opportunity or business combination as contemplated by our company. Even if there is demand for the acquisition of a business opportunity or combination as contemplated, there is no assurance that we will successfully complete such an acquisition or combination.

Lack of Diversification

In all likelihood, our proposed operations, even if successful, may result in a business combination with only one entity. Consequently, the resulting activities will be limited to that entity's business. Our inability to diversify our activities into a number of areas may subject us to economic fluctuations within a particular business or industry, thereby increasing the risks associated with our operations.

Regulation

Although we are subject to regulation under the 1934 Act, management believes that we will not be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, insofar as we will not be engaged in the business of investing or trading in securities. In the event that we engage in business combinations which result in us holding passive investment interests in a number of entities, we could be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, meaning that we would be required to register as an investment company and could be expected to incur significant registration and compliance costs. We have obtained no formal determination from the Securities and Exchange Commission as to the status of our company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and, consequently, any violation of such Act would subject us to material adverse consequences.

Probable Change in Control and Management

A business combination or acquisition of a business opportunity involving the issuance of our common shares may result in new or incoming shareholders obtaining a controlling interest in our company. Any such business combination or acquisition of a business opportunity may require that management of our company sell or transfer all or a portion of the common shares in the capital of our company that they hold or resign as members of our board of directors. The resulting change in the control of our company could result in the removal of one or more of our present officers and directors, and a corresponding reduction in or elimination of their participation in the future affairs of our company.

Reduction of Percentage Share Ownership Following Business Combination

Our primary plan of operation is based upon the acquisition of a business opportunity or a business combination with a private concern which, in all likelihood, would result in our company issuing common shares to shareholders of such private company. Issuing previously authorized and unissued common shares in our capital will reduce the percentage of common shares owned by present and prospective shareholders and may result in a change in our control and/or management.

Taxation

Canadian tax consequences will, in all likelihood, be major considerations in any business acquisition or combination we may undertake. Typically, these transactions may be structured to result in tax-free treatment pursuant to various Canadian tax provisions. We intend to structure any business combination so as to minimize the tax consequences to both our company and the target entity. Management cannot ensure that a business combination will meet the statutory requirements for a tax-free reorganization, or that the parties will obtain the intended tax-free treatment upon a transfer of common shares or assets. A non-qualifying reorganization could result in the imposition of taxes, which may have an adverse effect on both parties to the transaction.

Requirement of Audited Financial Statements May Disqualify Business Opportunity

Management believes that any potential business opportunity or target company must provide audited financial statements for review and for the protection of all parties to the business acquisition or combination. One or more attractive business opportunities may forego a business combination with us rather than incur the expenses associated with preparing audited financial statements.

Uncertain Ability to Manage Growth

Our ability to achieve any planned growth upon the acquisition of a suitable business opportunity or business combination will be dependent upon a number of factors including, but not limited to, our ability to hire, train and assimilate management and other employees and the adequacy of our financial resources. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to manage successfully any business opportunity or business combination. Failure to manage anticipated growth effectively and efficiently could have a materially adverse effect on our business.

"Penny Stock" Rules May Restrict the Market for Our Shares

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Ocean's securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors". The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of ris ks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary m arket for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.

Possible Volatility of Share Prices

Our common shares are currently listed for public trading on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "OVNIF", and have been so listed since January 29, 2002; however, as at the date of this quarterly report, trading in our common shares has been limited and sporadic. Trading prices of our common shares may fluctuate in response to a number of factors, many of which will be beyond our control. The stock market has generally experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies with no current business operation. There can be no assurance that trading prices and price earnings ratios previously experienced by our common shares will be matched or maintained. These broad market and industry factors may adversely affect the market price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance.

In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs for us and a diversion of management's attention and resources.

Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Others

Our By-laws contain provisions with respect to the indemnification of our officers and directors against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, actually and reasonably incurred by him, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment in a civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of his being or having been one of our directors or officers.

Future Dilution

Our constating documents authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of common shares and an unlimited number of preferred shares. In the event that we are required to issue any additional shares or enter into private placements to raise financing through the sale of equity securities, investors' interests in our company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share depending on the price at which such securities are sold. If we issue any such additional shares, such issuances also will cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all other shareholders. Further, any such issuance may result in a change in our control.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

We do not currently have a shareholder rights plan or any anti-takeover provisions in our by-laws. Without any anti-takeover provisions, there is no deterrent for a take-over of our company, which may result in a change in our management and directors.

Enforceability of Civil Liabilities Against Our Company

All of our assets are located outside the United States and we do not currently maintain a permanent place of business within the United States. In addition, a majority of our directors and officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States, and all or a substantial portion of such persons' assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against our company or our officers or directors, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof.

Item 3. Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, within the 90 days prior to the filing date of this report, the Company carried out in evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors, which could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date the Company carried out its evaluation.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
