Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit 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 and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2010. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, and in light of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls over financial reporting, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2010 using the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
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 Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2010, the Company determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below.
1.
As of June 30, 2010, effective controls over the control environment were not maintained. Specifically, a formally adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics that governs to the Company’s employees, officers and directors was not in place. Additionally, management has not developed and effectively communicated to its employees its accounting policies and procedures. This has resulted in inconsistent practices. Further, the Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-B. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness.
2.
As of June 30, 2010, effective controls over financial statement disclosure were not maintained. Specifically, controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
3.
As of June 30, 2010, effective controls over equity transactions were not designed or in place maintained. Specifically, controls were not designed to ensure that equity transactions were properly reflected. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
4.
As of June 30, 2010, our current disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that we record, process, summarize, and report the information we must disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosures.
Accordingly, the Company concluded that these control deficiencies resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company’s internal controls.
As a result of the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2010 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.
Our independent registered public accounting firm was not required to, and has not, issued a report concerning the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2010.
Continuing Remediation Efforts to address deficiencies in Company’s Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management and Board of Directors plan to establish the following remediation measures during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010:
·
Our Board of Directors will nominate an audit committee and audit committee financial expert to ensure that we establish appropriate internal controls over our financial reporting process, including formal review and approval of our financial statements and the review, implementation, and monitoring of necessary internal controls, procedures, and policies to mitigate the potential risk of material misstatement of our financial records.
Changes in Internal Controls.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting,
identified in connection with the evaluation of such internal control that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
