EXPLANATORY NOTE
We are filing this Amendment No. 2 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2007, as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") on March 31, 2008, in order to amend Item 9A Controls and
Procedures and to revise Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial
Officer certifications originally filed as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 pursuant to
the requirements of Item 601(b)(31) of Regulation S-K to include the
introductory language of Paragraph 4 and the language of Paragraph 4(b) of Item
601(b)(31) of Regulation S-K.
This Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 2) is limited in scope to the items
identified above and should be read in conjunction with the Form 10-K and our
other filings with the SEC.
This Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 2) does not reflect events occurring
after the filing of the Form 10-K or modify or update those disclosures affected
by subsequent events. Consequently, all other information is unchanged and
reflects the disclosures made at the time of the filing of the Form 10-K. With
this Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 2), the Principal Executive Officer and
Principal Financial Officer of the Company have reissued their certifications
required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, included in
Part IV, Item 15. Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules, furnished herewith.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Under the supervision and with
the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and
operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange
Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that
evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered
by this report were effective such that the information required to be disclosed
by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i)
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the SEC's rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system
cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls
system 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.
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the
Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process
designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes of
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting
may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems
determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving
their control objectives.
Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's internal control
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. Based on this evaluation, our
management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, concluded that, as of December 31, 2007, our internal control
over financial reporting was effective.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's
independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over
financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the
Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only
management's report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. During the most recent
quarter ended December 31, 2007, there has been no change in our internal
control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)
under the Exchange Act) ) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
