We have added the two items listed above to the previous disclosure and added emphasis to the changes to facilitate your review. The entire proposed disclosure is as follows:
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file pursuant to the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Principal Accounting Officer ("PAO") as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The unqualified opinion of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2007 is included in this Form 10-KSB.
