EXPLANATORY NOTE
We are filing this Amendment No. 2 to Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, as originally filed with the SEC on July 15, 2009, and as amended for the first time on October 22, 2009, to (1) revise Item 9A(T) to report on management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting, and (2) file currently dated certifications by our principal executive and principal financial officer.
This Amendment No. 2 continues to speak as of the date of the original Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 and we have not updated or amended the disclosures contained herein to reflect events that have occurred since the filing of Amendment No. 1 of the Form 10-K, or modified or updated those disclosures in any way other than as described in the preceding paragraph. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 2 should be read in conjunction with our filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the original Form 10-K on July 15, 2009.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), who is also our acting Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act as of a date (the "Evaluation Date") within ninety (90) days prior to the filing of our March 31, 2009 Form 10-K.
Based upon that evaluation which included the material weakness described in Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting below, our CEO has revised his initial conclusion and believes that, as of March 31, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures werenoteffective in timely alerting management to the material information relating to us (or our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in our periodic filings with the SEC.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
(a) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the registrant’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Our management, with the participation of its CEO, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2009. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of The Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on that assessment under such criteria, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting wasnot effective as of March 31, 2009 due to control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses.
Management in assessing its internal controls and procedures for fiscal 2009 identified a lack of sufficient segregation of duties, particularly in cash disbursements. Specifically, this material weakness is such that the design of controls over the area of cash disbursements relies primarily on detective controls and could be strengthened by adding preventative controls to properly safeguard company assets.
Management has identified a lack of sufficient personnel in the accounting function due to the limited resources of the Company with appropriate skills, training and experience to perform the review processes to ensure the complete and proper application of generally accepted accounting principles, particularly as it relates to taxes. Specifically, this material weakness led to segregation of duties issues and resulted in audit adjustments to the annual consolidated financial statements and revisions to related disclosures, including tax reporting.
We are in the process of developing and implementing remediation plans to address our material weaknesses.
3
Management has identified specific remedial actions to address the material weaknesses described above:
·
Improve the effectiveness of the accounting group by continuing to augment our existing resources with additional consultants or employees to improve segregation procedures and to assist in the analysis and recording of complex accounting transactions and preparation of tax disclosures. We plan to mitigate the segregation of duties issues by hiring additional personnel in the accounting department once we have achieved positive cash flow from operations, or has raised significant additional working capital.
·
Improve segregation procedures by strengthening cross approval of various functions including cash disbursements and quarterly internal audit procedures where appropriate.
Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
CHANGES IN CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
There were no changes made in our internal controls over financial reporting during the year ended March 31, 2009 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
ATTESTATION REPORT OF THE REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. We were not required to have, nor have we, engaged our independent registered public accounting firm to perform an audit of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the rules of the Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
