ITEM 4T. | Controls And Procedures: | |||
|
| |||
| We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow t imely decisions regarding required disclosure. An evaluation was carried out as of the end of the period covered by this report, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of March 31, 2009, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective. No system of controls, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the system of controls are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. <PAGE> 2 | |||
| There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. | |||
| ||||
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION | ||||

ITEM 1. | Legal Proceedings: | |||
From time to time, the Company is involved in various claims and lawsuits incidental to its business. In the opinion of Management, it is too early to assess the potential liability in connection with any such claims or suits or whether the ultimate resolution of any such claims or suits could be expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, liquidity or results of operations. | ||||
