Orthovita has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for Orthovita and designed such disclosures controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to Orthovita is made known to the certifying officers by others within Orthovita, particularly during the period in which Orthovita’s Form 10-K or 10-Q, as the case may be, is being prepared. Orthovita’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of Orthovita’s controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 (such date, the “Evaluation Date”).
