NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

A)	Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed financial statements do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; but, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments (which consist of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of such financial information. Results of operations and cash flows for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be achieved for full fiscal years. These condensed financial statements have been presented on a going concern basis and do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

B)	Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at estimated net realizable value. The Company expects to evaluate its allowance for doubtful accounts based on a combination of historical experience, aging analysis and information on specific accounts. Account balances are written off when collection efforts have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company has not recorded an allowance against receivables based upon management’s estimate.

C)	Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, as determined by the first-in, first-out method.

	2006		2007

Raw materials	$	-	$	128,000
Work in process		35,000		-
Finished goods		3,000		58,000
	$	38,000	$	186,000

The Company outsources the production of its inventory which is located at third party facilities in Prince Edward Island, Canada, Ohio and Minnesota.

D)	Stock Based Compensation Plans

At June 30, 2007, the Company has three stock-based compensation plans: the 2000 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, under which the Company is authorized to issue non-qualified stock options to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of common stock; the 2001 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, under which the Company is authorized to issue non-qualified stock options to purchase up to an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of common stock and the 2006 Stock Option Plan, under which the Company is authorized to issue incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options to purchase up to an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of common stock. At June 30, 2007, there were 1,966,000 options available for grant under these plans. The exercise price is determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at the time of the granting of an option. Options vest over a period not greater than five years, and expire no later than ten years from the date of grant.

The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R, “Share Based Payment.” SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period) in the financial statements based on their fair values. For options with graded vesting, the Company values the stock option grants and recognizes compensation expense as if each vesting portion of the award was a separate award. The impact of forfeitures that may occur prior to vesting is also estimated and considered in the amount of expense recognized. In addition, the realization of tax benefits in excess of amounts recognized for financial reporting purposes will be recognized as a financing activity rather than as an operating activity.

No tax benefits were attributed to the stock-based compensation expense because a valuation allowance was maintained for substantially all net deferred tax assets. We elected to adopt the alternative method of calculating the historical pool of windfall tax benefits as permitted by FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. SFAS 123R-3, “Transition Election Related to Accounting for the Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards.” This is a simplified method to determine the pool of windfall tax benefits that is used in determining the tax effects of stock compensation in the results of operations and cash flow reporting for awards that were outstanding as of the adoption of SFAS 123R.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the weighted average fair value of options. The fair value of options at date of grant and the assumptions utilized to determine such values are indicated in the following table:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2007			2006

Weighted average fair value at date of grant for options granted during the period	$	.84		$	.73
Risk-free interest rates		4.89	%		5.07	%
Expected option life in years		2-10			7-10
Actual vesting terms in years		3			2
Expected stock price volatility		96.4	%		99.0	%
Expected dividend yield		-0-			-0-

The following summarizes the activity of the Company’s stock options for the six months ended June 30, 2007 (shares in thousands):

	Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Number of shares under option plans:
Outstanding at January 1, 2007		13,437		$	0.39		3.1 Years*
Granted		1,715			0.84		9.4 Years
Exercised		(744	)		0.16
Canceled or expired		(939	)		1.33
Outstanding at June 30, 2007		13,469		$	0.39		5.1 Years*	$	6,812,244

Exercisable at June 30, 2007		12,462		$	0.35		4.6 Years*	$	6,709,419

* During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company extended the expiration date of various options by one year, with exercise prices ranging from $0.05 to $4.75 and expiration dates ranging from March 31, 2006 through December 27, 2006, granted to employees, directors, consultants and former employees and directors. As a result of this option modification, the Company recorded an expense of approximately $384,000. The Company calculated the incremental value based on the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original option measured immediately before its terms were modified based on current circumstances using the Black Scholes option pricing model.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $530,000.

The following summarizes the activity of the Company’s stock options that have not vested for the six months ended June 30, 2007 (shares in thousands):

	Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price
Nonvested at January 1, 2007		1,069		$	0.75
Granted		1,715			0.84
Canceled or expired		(150	)		0.80
Vested		(1,627	)		0.74
Nonvested at June 30, 2007		1,007		$	0.91

As of June 30, 2007, there was approximately $504,000 of unrecognized stock compensation related to unvested awards (net of estimated forfeitures) expected to be recognized over the next 35 months.

The Company granted 1,410,000 and 1,715,000 options in the periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively. The Company has recorded a charge of $295,000, $648,000 and $96,000 in research and development, general and administrative and sales and marketing expense, respectively, for the fair value of the options granted for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Under SFAS 123R forfeitures are estimated at the time of valuation and reduce expense ratably over the vesting period. This estimate is adjusted periodically based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from the previous estimate.

At June 30, 2007, the Company had 405,000 options outstanding which vest upon the achievement of certain FDA-related milestones associated with REPEL-CV and other product development programs. These options have a term ranging from 4-10 years from date of grant and an exercise price range of $0.26 to $2.00. At this time, the Company cannot determine when, if ever, the FDA - related milestones will be achieved and hence the Company has not recognized compensation expense related to these options.

E)	Acquired Technology

In March 2003, the Company purchased certain polymer technology from Phairson Medical, Ltd., a private medical technology company based in the United Kingdom, for approximately 6,896,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company. These assets comprise a series of United States and foreign patent applications as well as scientific and clinical documentation. In connection with this transaction, the Company recorded $344,000 as the fair value of this technology which includes (i) $330,000, representing the deemed value of the shares issued (approximately $0.0478 per share) paid by investors in the contemporaneous private placement of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and related warrants; (ii) $11,000 in transaction-related costs and (iii) $3,000 representing the fair value of the options issued as a finder’s fee. A useful life of 5 years was assigned to the acquired technology considering the stage of product development, the estimated period during which patent protection could be enforced, which would go well beyond five years from the acquisition date, the development cycle time for medical devices of the type envisioned by the Company based on such technology, as well as potential technology obsolescence over time. For each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, the Company recorded amortization of $34,000 in research and development relating to these assets.

F)	Convertible Promissory Notes

On February 22, 2007, a $70,000 5-year, 5% convertible promissory note matured and was repaid.

G)	Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period, which excludes 14,944,566 potential common shares issuable from the exercise of outstanding options and warrants since their inclusion would have been be anti-dilutive.

H)	Exercise of Warrants

In March 2007, the Company received proceeds of approximately $71,000 from the exercise of warrants to purchase 594,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrants were issued to the placement agent in the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock private placement in March 2003.

At June 30, 2007, the Company has 1,475,000 warrants outstanding. (See note J).

I)	Exercise of Options

For the six month period ended June 30, 2007, the Company received proceeds of approximately $118,000 from the exercise of options to purchase 668,718 shares of the Company’s common stock.

On April 27, 2007, the Company amended 75,148 options for two of its officers to include a cashless exercise feature. In exchange, the employees have agreed that upon exercise, these shares will be subject to forfeiture and non-transferable for a period of one year from the date of exercise. These options were simultaneously exercised for 40,014 shares of the Company’s common stock April 27, 2007. The company has accounted for this transaction as a cancellation of an award accompanied by a replacement award and has recorded the incremental value over the vesting period.

J)	Common Stock

In April 2006, the Company sold an aggregate of 15,000,000 shares of common stock in a private placement at a purchase price of $.40 per share, resulting in gross cash proceeds of $6,000,000. In connection with the financing, the Company paid a placement agent a commission equal to $590,000, representing 10% of the proceeds raised by the agent ($449,840 of which was paid, at the agent’s election, by issuance of 1,124,600 shares of common stock at the offering price of $0.40 per share, and the balance of which was paid in cash) and the Company issued to the placement agent warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,475,000 shares of common stock, representing 10% of the number of shares sold by the agent in the financing. The warrants are exercisable at an exercise price equal to $.60 per share at any time until April 3, 2010. The Company paid offering costs of $78,000 including amounts to the placement agent for certain financing-related expenses including legal fees.

In connection with the financing, the Company entered into subscription agreements and an investor rights agreement with the investors, as well as an agency agreement with the placement agent. Pursuant to the investor rights agreement, the Company filed a registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission covering resale of the securities sold in the private placement which has been declared effective.

K)	Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company adopted Financial Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”) an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (“SFAS 109”) on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we recognized no material adjustment to unrecognized tax benefits. At the adoption date of January 1, 2007, we had $16,908,000 of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would affect our effective tax rate if recognized. At June 30, 2007 we have $ 19,731,000 of unrecognized tax benefits.

We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in general and administrative expense. As of June 30, 2007, we have not recorded any provisions for accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

By statute, tax years 2003-2006 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” to define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, the beginning of our 2008 fiscal year. We are assessing the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on our financial position and results of operations.

In February, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 159 on our financial position and results of operations.

L)	Reversal of Liabilities

For the six month period ended June 30, 2007, we reversed liabilities of $44,000 primarily relating to trade transactions with former vendors. The underlying transactions occurred during or before June 30, 2001 and there has been no communication with the parties regarding these transactions since that time. Accordingly, we believe that any claim for these amounts at this time would be barred by applicable statutes of limitations.

M)	Revenue Recognition Policy

The Company recognizes revenue when the amounts become fixed and determinable. Revenue is recognized when product is shipped to customers. Terms of sale are “f.o.b. shipping point” with the customer covering all costs of shipment and insurance. All sales are final with no right of return except for defective product. All sales were outside the United States of America.

N)	Cost of Goods Sold

The initial quantities of finished goods sold do not have the cost of raw materials factored in as this cost was previously expensed as research and development in prior periods. We estimate that remaining raw material that was previously expensed as research and development will be depleted through December 31, 2007.

The following table illustrates the effect on cost of goods sold and gross profit if the cost of the raw material had been included in finished goods inventory for the interim period ended June 30, 2007 (in thousands):

	Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2007
Reported Net sales	$	84	100	%
Pro forma COGS		26	31	%
Pro forma Gross Profit	$	58	69	%

O)	Retirement Plan

In March 2007, the Company adopted a defined contribution retirement plan which qualifies under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The plan allows employees to voluntarily contribute amounts not exceeding the maximum allowed under the Internal Revenue Code. The Company will make a matching contribution equal to 100% of the salary deferral contributions made up to the first 4% of total compensation. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company made a matching contribution in the amount of $9,000 to the plan.

P)	Subsequent Event

On August 14, 2007, we sold an aggregate of 2,800,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per share in the initial closing of a private placement, resulting in gross cash proceeds of $2,800,000. In connection with the financing, we paid a placement agent a commission of $196,000 in cash, representing 7% of the proceeds raised by the agent, and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 196,000 shares of common stock, representing 7% of the number of shares sold by the agent in the financing. The warrants are exercisable at an exercise price equal to $1.10 per share at any time until August 13, 2011. We also reimbursed the agent for certain financing-related expenses including legal fees.

Our Board of Directors has authorized us to raise up to an additional $3,200,000 in the private placement through the agent on the same terms at any time prior to August 31, 2007. In connection with the financing, we entered into subscription agreements and an investor rights agreement with the investors, as well as an agency agreement with the placement agent. One of our directors, Mr. Joerg Gruber, is Chairman and a director of the placement agent. Pursuant to the investor rights agreement, we agreed to file, within 30 days of the final closing, a registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission covering resale of the securities sold in the private placement.

Subsequent to June 30, 2007, the Company received gross proceeds of approximately $2,000 upon the exercise of 5,000 Common Stock options.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

Certain statements in this Report under this Item 2 and elsewhere constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, without limitation, statements regarding future cash requirements, the success of any pending or proposed clinical trial, the timing or ability to achieve necessary regulatory approvals or market launch of REPEL-CV.

General

We are a biomaterials company engaged in the development and commercialization of innovative and cost-effective medical devices for therapeutic applications. Products under development, all of which are based on our licensed proprietary, bioresorbable polymer technology, are primarily surgical implants designed to prevent or reduce the formation of adhesions (scar tissue) following a broad range of surgical procedures. Our commercialization efforts are currently focused on our lead product, REPEL-CV Adhesion Barrier, for use in cardiac surgery.

In September 2006, we reported positive efficacy results from the multi-center, randomized, masked pivotal clinical trial of REPEL-CV in neonatal patients who underwent staged, open-heart surgical procedures. REPEL-CV is a bioresorbable film designed to be placed over the surface of the heart at the conclusion of surgery to reduce the formation of post-operative adhesions (scar tissue). We feel confident that the pivotal trial achieved its primary clinical endpoint based on the level of reduction in the extent and severity of adhesions. The pivotal trial was conducted at 15 pediatric cardiac surgery centers throughout the United States, and enrolled 144 neonatal patients who had undergone staged, open-heart surgical procedures. In this trial, surgeons used a four point grading system to determine the extent and severity of adhesions in the patients. Over 70% of the REPEL-CV treated patients were completely free of clinically-significant adhesions, the most severe grade of adhesions measured, as compared to less than 30% in the control patients, with a p value < 0.0001. In the primary clinical endpoint assessment, the mean extent of clinically-significant adhesions in the control patients was 2.5 times greater than in the REPEL-CV patients, with a p value = 0.0005. We have incorporated the results of this trial into the Premarket Approval (PMA) submission documentation for the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) as a basis for obtaining approval to market REPEL-CV in the United States for use in all cardiothoracic surgical procedures. Our PMA submission was formally accepted for review by the FDA on March 22, 2007. A meeting of the FDA Circulatory System Devices Advisory Panel has been scheduled for September 19, 2007 to review the PMA submission.

In June 2006, we announced the successful completion of a multi-center clinical study for REPEL-CV involving several leading cardiac surgery centers in Europe. At the point of the second surgical procedure, 13 of the 15 patients in the study were free of clinically-significant adhesions representing a significant improvement over the typical experience among patients who have undergone secondary open heart procedures. In August, 2006 we received the CE Mark approval to market REPEL-CV for use in cardiac surgery within the European Union (EU) and in other international markets. In September 2006, we launched REPEL-CV for sale in the EU and certain southeast Asian markets through a network of independent distributors, all of whom are experienced at selling devices and medical equipment to cardiac surgeons.

Our bioresorbable polymer technology is based on a proprietary group of polymers. We believe that these polymers display desirable properties, which enable them to be tailored to a wide variety of applications. These properties include bioresorbability, flexibility, strength and biocompatibility. Potential applications for products derived from these polymers are in medical areas such as the prevention of post-operative adhesions, sutures, stents, implantable device coatings and drug delivery.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our interim financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein.

Results of Operations

Revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 of $40,000 and $84,000, respectively, is attributable to product sales of REPEL-CV in the European Union and in other international markets. There was no revenue reported for the comparable 2006 periods and we had no products approved for sale at those times.

Cost of goods sold of $7,000 and $15,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively reflect costs to process and package REPEL-CV into saleable form. Raw material costs are not included as part of cost of goods sold or inventory cost as these were previously expensed as research and development expense in prior periods. Had raw material costs been included in cost of goods sold, costs of goods sold for the three and six month periods would have been $12,000 and $26,000, respectively. Costs of goods sold will include raw material costs in future periods once the amounts previously expensed as research and development expense have been fully depleted. There was no cost of goods sold reported for the comparable 2006 periods as we sold no products during that time. (See Note N of Notes to Condensed Financial Statements.)

We incurred research and development expenses of $551,000 and $1,164,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $787,000 and $1,112,000 for the comparable prior year periods, respectively. The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the prior year is primarily attributable to lower manufacturing development and clinical trial costs of $342,000 partially offset by higher regulatory costs.

General and administrative expenses totaled $893,000 and $1,428,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $999,000 and $1,596,000 for the comparable prior year periods, respectively. The decreases are primarily attributable to lower non-cash charges in the current year periods of $358,000 as the result of SFAS 123R, stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by increases in compensation expense, consulting fees and investor relations expenses. (See Note D of Notes to Condensed Financial Statements.)

We incurred sales and marketing expenses of $293,000 and $394,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $57,000 and $94,000 for the comparable prior year periods, respectively. The increases are primarily attributable to increased stock-based compensation expense of $96,000, consulting costs of $101,000 associated with REPEL- CV post-launch marketing in the European Union and other international markets and sales compensation cost of $41,000. During the remainder of 2007, we anticipate an increased level of sales and marketing expense as we prepare for a US launch of REPEL-CV. The level and rate of increase will depend on a number of factors including the anticipated timing of and other developments related to the FDA’s PMA approval process.

There was interest income of $20,000 and $51,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $50,000 and $50,000 for the comparable prior year periods, respectively. The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the comparable prior year period is primarily attributable to lower average cash balances during the current year.

Interest expense was $1,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $1,000 and $3,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. No interest expense was incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2007.

We realized other income from the reversal of liabilities of $44,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007; there were no comparable amounts recorded during the prior year period. The reversal of liabilities during the current year period related to trade and other business transactions which were due and payable on or before June 30, 2001. The reversals were made due to the passage of time and our belief that the underlying claims would be barred by applicable statutes of limitations if recovery actions were asserted at the time of the respective reversals.

A gain on settlement of debt of $22,000 was recorded in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006 associated with the settlement of outstanding trade payables; there were no comparable amounts recorded during the current year periods.

Our net loss was $1,684,000 and $2,823,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $1,771,000 and $2,732,000 for the comparable prior year periods, respectively. We expect to incur losses in future periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The cash balance is $1,574,000 at June 30, 2007. At June 30, 2007, the Company had working capital of $1,518,000.

Net cash used in operating activities was $2,238,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to $1,746,000 for the prior year period. Net cash used in operating activities for the current year period was primarily due to a net loss of $2,823,000 and decreases in accrued expenses of $400,000 and increases totaling $250,000 in accounts receivable, inventory, reversal of liabilities and prepaid expenses partially offset by the impact of SFAS 123R, stock-based compensation expenses of $1,039,000 and an increase in accounts payable of $124,000. Net cash used in operating activities for the prior year period of $1,746,000 was primarily due to a net loss of $2,732,000 and decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $240,000 and an increase in prepaid expenses of $53,000 partially offset by the impact of $1,230,000 in stock-based compensation expenses, reflecting the modification of certain options scheduled to expire in 2006 which extended the exercise period by one year.

Net cash used in investing activities was $23,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $21,000 for the comparable prior year period. Net cash used in investing activities was associated with the acquisition of computer equipment and office furniture in both the current and prior year periods.

Net cash provided from financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $113,000, as compared to $5,792,000 for the prior year period. The current year amount was comprised of $183,000 of proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants offset by the repayment of a $70,000 convertible promissory note that matured in February 2007; the prior year amount was comprised of $5,783,000 of net proceeds from the sale of common stock and $9,000 from the exercise of outstanding options.

In August 2007, we completed the initial closing of a private placement in which we received $2,800,000 in gross proceeds in consideration for the issuance and sale of 2,800,000 shares of common stock. (See Note P and Part II, Item 5.)

The balance of cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2007. together with the funds received from the private placement, as referred to in the above paragraph, is not sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements through June 30, 2008, based on our present plan of operation. As a result, we are seeking to raise additional capital. Additional capital may not be available as and when needed or on terms favorable or acceptable to us. Equity financings may be dilutive to existing stockholders. Insufficient funds may require us to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our research and development programs and commercialization plans, or require us to license to third parties certain products or technologies that we would otherwise seek to commercialize independently. As a result of our limited capital resources and recurring net losses, our auditors have disclosed in their report on our 2006 financial statements that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

As of June 30, 2007, we had employment agreements with five individuals that expire as follows: two in September 2007, one in March 2009, one in May 2009 and one in May 2010. Pursuant to these agreements, our commitment regarding cash severance benefits aggregates $632,000 at June 30, 2007. We have also entered into change of control agreements with our three executive officers pursuant to which, upon the occurrence of events described therein, we could become obligated, in addition to certain other benefits, to pay either 150% or 200%, depending on the executive, of such executives’ annual base salaries plus the greater of the prior year’s cash bonus or current year’s target bonus. Any severance payments under the employment agreements would offset amounts required to be paid under the change of control agreements.

Item 3. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The chief executive officer who is also the chief financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company's "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e); collectively, “Disclosure Controls”) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (the "Evaluation Date") has concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, our Disclosure Controls were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC, and that material information relating to our company and any consolidated subsidiaries is made known to management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, particularly during the period when our periodic reports are being prepared to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In connection with the evaluation referred to in the foregoing paragraph, we have identified no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

The Company’s management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, who are the same person, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
