NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 — Discussion of the Company's Activities
Organization and activities- TransTech Services Partners Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on August 16, 2006 for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase or other similar business combination (a “Business Combination”), one or more small to mid-market U.S. and/or European based operating companies engaged in the delivery of Information Technology and Information Technology Enabled Services, Business Process Outsourcing and/or Knowledge Process Outsourcing, whose operations are particularly suitable for operational and productivity improvements which would include leveraging delivery centers located in offshore countries, such as India (a “Target Business”).
The Company believes it will have sufficient working capital to fund its current operations through November, 2008. However, if the Company does not execute a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definite agreement by November 2008, and if the business combination has not been completed by May 2009 we will be forced to liquidate. Our efforts have been directed towards searching for a target Company. We believe that our current cash on hand is sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company is considered to be a development stage company and as such the financial statements presented herein are presented in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7.
The registration statement for the Company's initial public offering (“Offering”) was declared effective on May 23, 2007. The Company consummated the Offering on May 30, 2007 for net proceeds of approximately $33 million. On June 13, 2007 the Company's underwriters' exercised their over-allotment option for net proceeds of approximately $5.2 million. The Company's management intends to apply substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering toward consummating a Business Combination. The initial Target Business must have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of our net assets (excluding the amount held in the trust account representing a portion of the underwriters' deferred discount (Note 5) at the time of such acquisition. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully affect a Business Combination.
Management has agreed that approximately $7.88 per Unit sold in the Offering will be held in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and invested in permitted United States government securities, of which, $0.27 per Unit will be paid to the underwriter upon the consummation of a Business Combination pro-rata with respect to those shares which stockholders do not exercise their conversion rights. The placing of funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third party claims against the Company. Although the Company will seek to have all vendors, prospective acquisition targets or other entities it engages, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements. Approximately $800,000 of after tax interest earned on the monies held in the Trust Account and $100,000 transferred to the Company at the close of the Offering may be used to pay for due diligence of prospective Target Businesses, legal and accounting fees relating to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reporting obligations and working capital to cover miscellaneous expenses, director and officer insurance and reserves (Note 6).
TRANSTECH SERVICES PARTNERS INC.
(a corporation in the development stage)
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 — Discussion of the Company's Activities – (Continued)
The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for a Business Combination, is obliged to submit such transaction for approval by a majority of the public stockholders of the Company. Stockholders that vote against such proposed Business Combination and exercise their conversion rights are, under certain conditions described below, entitled to convert their shares into a pro-rata distribution from the Trust Account (the “Conversion Right”). The actual per-share conversion price will be equal to the amount in the Trust Account (inclusive of any interest thereon) as of two business days prior to the proposed Business Combination less up to $279,310 to be waived by the underwriters related to the shares so converted, divided by the number of shares sold in the Offering, or approximately $7.88 per share calculated based on $7.68 per Unit held in the Trust Account as of June 30, 2008, less $0.27 per share to be waived by the underwriters related to the shares subject to possible conversion. As a result of the Conversion Right, $7,872,416 has been classified as common stock subject to possible conversion on the accompanying balance sheet as of June 30, 2008. The Company's stockholders prior to the Offering (“Initial Stockholders”), have agreed to vote their 1,125,000 founding shares of common stock in accordance with the manner in which the majority of the shares of common stock offered in the Offering are voted by the Company's public stockholders(“Public Stockholders”) with respect to a Business Combination. In the event that a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted by the Company's public stockholders vote for the approval of the Business Combination and holders owning 20% or more of the outstanding common stock do not vote against the Business Combination and do not exercise their Conversion Rights, the Business Combination may then be consummated.
If the Company does not execute a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for a Business Combination prior to 18 months from the date of the Offering, the Company's board will convene, adopt and recommend to their stockholders a plan of dissolution and distribution and file a proxy statement with the SEC seeking stockholder approval for such plan. If, however, a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for a Business Combination has been executed prior to 18 months from the date of the Offering, the Company will abandon their plan of dissolution and distribution and seek the consummation of that Business Combination. If a proxy statement seeking the approval of the Company's stockholders for that Business Combination has not been filed prior to 24 months from the date of the Offering, the Company's board will convene, adopt and recommend to their stockholders a plan of dissolution and distribution and file a proxy statement with the SEC seeking stockholder approval for such plan. In the event there is no Business Combination within the 18 and 24-month deadlines (the “Target Business Combination Period”), the Company will dissolve and distribute to its Public Stockholders, in proportion to their respective equity interests, the amount held in the Trust Account, and any remaining net assets, after the distribution of the Trust Account. In the event of liquidation, the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per share in the Offering.
With respect to a Business Combination which is approved and consummated, any Public Stockholder who voted against the Business Combination prior to such vote and exercised their Conversion Right will have their common shares cancelled and such shares of Common Stock will be returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares. The per share conversion price will equal the amount in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the proposed Business Combination, divided by the number of shares of common stock held by Public Stockholders at the consummation of the Offering. Accordingly, Public Stockholders holding less than 20% of the aggregate number of shares owned by all Public Stockholders may seek conversion of their shares in the event of a Business Combination. Such Public Stockholders are entitled to receive their per share interest in the Trust Account computed without regard to the founding shares and the shares underlying the Insider Units (but not shares acquired in the Offering or in the secondary market) held by Initial Stockholders.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 2—Offering
In its initial public offering, effective May 23, 2007 (closed on May 30, 2007), the Company sold to the public 4,500,000 units (the “Units” or a “Unit”) at a price of $8.00 per Unit. Proceeds from the initial public offering totaled approximately $33 million, which was net of approximately $2 million in underwriting fees and other expenses due at closing and approximately $1.2 million of deferred underwriting fees. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company's common stock and one warrant (a “Warrant”).
On June 13, 2007, the Company's underwriters exercised their option to purchase 675,000 Units to cover over-allotments generating gross proceeds of $5.4 million, of which $5.2 million was placed in the Trust Account, net of $0.2 million additional underwriting fees for an aggregate $40.7 million held in the Trust Account.
The Company also sold to the Representatives, a purchase option to purchase up to a total of 281,250 additional Units (Note 8).
Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Interim Financial Statements - The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and footnotes thereto for the period from inception (August 16, 2006) to December 31, 2007 included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on April 3, 2008.

However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations. The operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 and for the period from inception (August 16, 2006) to June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period of any future year. The December 31, 2007 Balance Sheet has been derived from the audited financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents- Cash and cash equivalents are deposits with financial institutions as well as short-term money market instruments with maturities of three months or less when purchased.
Investments held in trust- The Company's restricted investment held in the Trust Fund at June 30, 2008 is invested in U.S. Government Securities. The Company recognized interest income of $127,949 and $158,939 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, $622,379 and $158,939 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, and $1,573,973 for the period from inception (August 16, 2006) to June 30, 2008 respectively which is included on the accompanying statements of operations.

Concentration of Credit Risk- Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and investments. The Company may maintain deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. However, management believes the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which those deposits are held or due to the nature of investments held in trust.
Net Income Per Share- Net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Basic income per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. The effect of the 5,175,000 outstanding warrants issued in connection with the initial public offering, the 1,191,667 outstanding warrants issued in connection with the private placement and the 281,250 units included in the underwriters' purchase option, as described in Note 7, along with the warrants underling such units (representing 562,500 shares of common stock and equivalents) has not been considered in diluted income per share calculations since such securities are contingently exercisable.
Use of Estimates- The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income Taxes- Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts and are based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (Continued)
New Accounting Pronouncements– In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The new guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Financial Statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 159, an entity may elect the fair value option for eligible items that exist at the adoption date. Subsequent to the initial adoption, the election of the fair value option should only be made at initial recognition of the asset or liability or upon a remeasurement event that gives rise to new-basis accounting. SFAS No. 159 does not affect any existing accounting literature that requires certain assets and liabilities to be carried at fair value nor does it eliminate disclosure requirements included in other accounting standards. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and may be adopted earlier but only if the adoption is in the first quarter of the fiscal year. The company has not elected the fair value option.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No 141R, ‘‘Business Combinations’’ (‘‘SFAS 141R’’). SFAS 141R replaces SFAS 141 and establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. SFAS 141R also establishes disclosure requirements which will enable users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. Acquisition costs associated with the business combination will generally be expensed as incurred. SFAS 141R is effective for business combinations occurring in the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, which will require the Company to adopt these provisions for business combinations occurring in fiscal 2009 and thereafter.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS 160 requires that ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, and the amount of consolidated net income, be clearly identified, labeled and presented in the consolidated financial statements. It also requires once a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value. Sufficient disclosures are required to clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. It is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. All other requirements are applied prospectively. Upon the successful completion of a Business Combination, the Company anticipates applying the provisions of SFAS 141R and potentially SFAS 160.
In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP 157-2, “Partial Deferral of the Effective Date of Statement 157” (“FSP 157-2”). FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 157 on nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, but does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 7 — Equity - (Continued)
The Initial Stockholders have agreed to surrender, without consideration, up to an aggregate of 99,973 of their shares of common stock to the Company for cancellation upon consummation of a Business Combination in the event Public Stockholders exercise their right to have the Company convert their shares for cash. Accordingly, for approximately every nine shares converted by Public Stockholders, the founders have agreed to surrender one share for cancellation.
Public Warrants
Each warrant sold in the Offering (a “Public Warrant”) is exercisable for one share of common stock. Except as set forth below, the Public Warrants entitle the holder to purchase shares at $5.00 per share, subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends and splits, reclassifications, combinations and similar events for a period commencing on the later of:(a) completion of the Business Combination and (b) one year from the effective date of the Offering of the Company's securities, and ending four years from the date of the Offering. The Company has the ability to redeem the Public Warrants, in whole or in part, at a price of $.01 per Public Warrant, at any time after the Public Warrants become exercisable, upon a minimum of 30 days' prior written notice of redemption, and if, and only if, the last sale price of the Company's common stock equals or exceeds $11.50 per share, for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending three business days before the Company sent the notice of redemption. If the Company dissolves before the consummation of a Business Combination, there will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Warrants, which will expire worthless.
Private Warrants
Prior to the closing of the Offering, the Company sold to one of its Initial Stockholders 1,191,667 warrants (“Private Warrants”) in a private placement, at a price of $1.20 per Private Warrant, for an aggregate of $1,430,000.
The Private Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants and may not be sold or transferred, except in limited circumstances, until after the consummation of a Business Combination. If the Company dissolves before the consummation of a Business Combination, there will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to such Private Warrants, which will expire worthless. As the proceeds from the exercise of the Public Warrants and Private Warrants will not be received until after the completion of a Business
Registration Rights - Warrants and Unit Purchase Option
Combination, the expected proceeds from exercise will not have any effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations prior to a Business Combination.
Unit Purchase Option
The Unit Purchase Option and the warrants included in the Unit Purchase Option, are not subject to net cash settlement in the event the Company is unable to maintain an effective 1933 Act registration statement. The Company must use best efforts to file and maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement for the securities issuable upon exercise of the Unit Purchase Option. Such warrants underlying the Unit Purchase Option are only exercisable to the extent the Company is able to maintain such effectiveness. The Unit Purchase Option (but not the underlying warrants), however, may be exercised by means of cashless exercise even in the absence of an effective registration statement for the underlying securities. If the holder of the Unit Purchase Option, or warrants underlying the Unit Purchase Option, does not, or is not able to, exercise the Unit Purchase Option or warrants underlying the Unit Purchase Option, as applicable, the Unit Purchase Option or underlying warrants, as applicable, will expire worthless.

Note 7 — Equity - (Continued)
The Company sold to the Representatives for $100, an option to purchase up to 281,250 units at $10.00 per unit (the “Unit Purchase Option” or the “UPO”). The Units issuable upon exercise of the UPO are identical to those offered by the Offering. The UPO commences on the later of the consummation of a Business Combination or 180-days from the date of the prospectus with respect to the Offering and expires three years from the date of the prospectus. The Company calculated the fair value of the UPO to be $694,687 ($2.47 per unit) using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of the UPO has been determined using the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 50.02% (2) risk-free interest rate of 4.75% and (3) contractual life of 3 years. The expected volatility in the preceding sentence was calculated as an average of the volatilities of similar companies that trade on U.S. Stock Exchanges. In calculating volatility for the representative companies, the Company used daily historical volatilities for the period of time equal to the term of the option (3 years).
Warrants
In accordance with the Warrant Agreement related to the Public Warrants and the registration rights agreement associated with the Private Warrants (collectively the Public Warrants and Private Warrants are the “Warrants”), the Company will only be required to use its best efforts to register the Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and once effective to use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement. The Company will not be obligated to deliver securities, and there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities, if a registration statement is not effective at the time of exercise. However, with regards to the Private Warrants, the Company may satisfy its obligation by delivering unregistered shares of common stock. Additionally, in the event that a registration statement is not effective at the time of exercise, the holder of such Warrants shall not be entitled to exercise. In no event (whether in the case of a registration statement not being effective or otherwise) will the Company be required to net cash settle a Warrant exercise. Consequently, the Warrants may expire unexercised and unredeemed. The holders of Warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of the Company's common stock or any voting rights until such holders exercise their respective warrants and receive shares of the Company's common stock.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward Looking Statements
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed financial statements and footnotes thereto contained in this report.
We were formed on August 16, 2006 for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase or other similar business combination, one or more small to mid-market U.S. and/or European based operating companies engaged in the delivery of Information Technology and Information Technology Enabled Services, Business Process Outsourcing and/or Knowledge Process Outsourcing, whose operations are particularly suitable for operational and productivity improvements which would include leveraging delivery centers located in offshore countries, such as India.
On May 30, 2007, we completed our initial public offering of 4,500,000 units at a price of $8.00 per unit. We received proceeds of approximately $33 million from our initial public offering, which was net of $2 million in underwriting fees and other expenses paid in cash at the closing and deferred underwriting fees. The deferred portion of the underwriting fees will be included in additional paid-in capital and will only be paid upon our consummation of a business combination. Each unit consists of one share of our common stock and one warrant. Additionally, on June 13, 2007, our underwriters exercised their option to purchase 675,000 Units to cover over-allotments generating gross proceeds of $5.4 million, of which $5.2 million was placed in the Trust Account, net of $0.2 million additional underwriting fees.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financials statement and footnotes thereto contained in this report.
For a description of the proceeds generated in our IPO and a discussion of the use of such proceeds, we refer you to Notes 1 and 2 of the financial statements included in Item 1 of the Form 10-Q.
We believe that we have sufficient available funds to complete our efforts to effect a business combination with an operating business.
Results of Operations
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008, of $233,953 consisted of interest income on the Trust Fund investment of $622,379 and interest on cash and cash equivalents of $2,680, offset by general and administrative expenses of $270,585, which includes professional fees, administrative fees and other operating expenses. A federal income tax provision for the period of $120,521 has been recorded.
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2008, of $18,061 consisted of interest income on the Trust Fund investment of $127,949 and interest on cash and cash equivalent of $381, offset by general and administrative expenses of $100,964, which includes professional fees, administrative fees and other operating expenses. A federal income tax provision for the period of $9,305 has been recorded.
Net income for the period August 16, 2006 (inception) to June 30, 2008, of $636,684 consisted of interest income on the Trust Fund investment of $1,573,973 and interest on cash and cash equivalents of $6,864, offset by general and administrative expenses of $610,393 which includes professional fees, administrative fees and other operating expenses and $5,500 in formation costs. A federal income tax provision for the period of $328,260 has been recorded.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company believes it will have sufficient working capital to fund its current operations through November, 2008. However, if the Company does not effect a business combination by November 2008(or by May 2009) if a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definite agreement has not been executed or if the business combination has not been completed we will be forced to liquidate. Our efforts have been directed towards searching for a target Company. We believe that our current cash on hand is sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months.
Of the gross proceeds from our IPO, including the exercise over an over allotment option on June 12, 2007: (i) we deposited approximately $40.7 million into a trust account at JP Morgan Chase, maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee, which amount included $1,430,000 that we received from the sale of warrants to the Initial Stockholders in a private placement on May 22, 2007; (ii) the underwriters received $1,525,500 as underwriting discount; (iii) we retained $100,000 that will not be held in the trust account; and (iv) we used $872,679 for offering expenses.
Our Initial Stockholders purchased an aggregate of 1,191,667 warrants (“Private Warrants”) in a private placement, at a price of $1.20 per Private Warrant, for an aggregate of $1,430,000 prior to the IPO.
The proceeds deposited in the trust account will not be released from the trust account until the earlier of the consummation of a business combination or the expiration of the time period during which we may consummate a business combination. The proceeds held in the trust account may be used as consideration to pay the sellers of an acquisition target with which we complete a business combination. To the extent that our capital stock is used in whole or in part as consideration to effect a business combination, the proceeds held in the trust account will be used to finance the operations of the acquisition target. We may also use the proceeds held in the trust account to pay a finder's fee to any unaffiliated party that provides information regarding prospective targets to us.
We believe that the working capital available to us, in addition to the funds available to us outside of the trust account will be sufficient to allow us to operate until November 30, 2008, assuming that a business combination is not consummated during that time. Over this time, we have estimated that up to $600,000 of working capital to cover expenses for legal, accounting and other expenses attendant to the due diligence investigations, structuring and negotiating of a business combination and up to $135,000 for the administrative fee($7,500 per month for 18 months).
We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, we may need to raise additional funds through a private offering of debt or equity securities if such funds are required to consummate a business combination that is presented to us. We would only consummate such a fund raising simultaneously with the consummation of a business combination.
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, $400,000 of interest income was released to the Company from the trust account.

None.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (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 or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and treasurer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2008. Based upon their evaluation, they concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
