EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 2) is being submitted solely in order to amend and correct a wording error in Item 9A in the phrase “there have been no significant changes in the internal controls” to state instead “there have been no changes in the internal controls.” As a result of the amended text in Item 9A, the Section 302 Certifications filed as Exhibits in Item 15 have been re-executed as of the date of this Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 2). No revisions have been made to the Registrant’s financial statements or any other disclosure contained in our original Annual Report on Form 10-K.
PART II
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Warren’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (Certifying Officers) performed an evaluation of the Warren Resource, Inc.’s (the “Company’s”) disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K. 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 Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on this evaluation, the Certifying Officers have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective. In addition, there have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
