NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
PHOTOWORKS, INC: ("PhotoWorks" or the "Company") is an online
photography services company with a 25-year national heritage of helping
photographers - both film and digital - share and preserve their memories with
innovative and inspiring products and services. In addition to offering high
quality prints, email sharing and Signature Greeting Cards, PhotoWorks
specializes in the creation of sophisticated Custom Photo Books that are easily
created online at PhotoWorks.com, allowing consumers to showcase their pictures
in a professionally printed and bound book. PhotoWorks offers its services
primarily in the United States.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary
for a fair presentation of interim results have been included. The Company
follows a policy of recording its interim periods and year-end on a 13-week
basis for comparability of results and to be consistent with its internal weekly
reporting. Operating results for the three-months ended December 25, 2004 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal
year ending September 24, 2005. For further information, refer to "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" under
Item 2 below and under Item 7 of Part II of the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended September 25, 2004 and the Company's consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto also included in the Company's Annual
Report.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current
period's presentation
NOTE B - LIQUIDITY AND RECAPITALIZATION
The Company has experienced significant revenue declines and has
incurred operating losses in the past several years. For fiscal 2004, cash flow
used in operations was $1,600,000, primarily attributable to a net loss of
$1,672,000. For the first quarter of fiscal 2005, cash flow used in operations
was $144,000. As compared to prior periods, the net loss is primarily due to
lower film processing revenues. Cash and cash equivalents have declined from
$4,756,000 at the beginning of fiscal 2004 to $2,197,000 as of December 25,
2004. The Company expects a further decline in cash and cash equivalents in
fiscal 2005 primarily due to continued operating losses resulting from declines
in film revenues.
The Company has taken various actions, including workforce reductions
and reduced operating expenditures to more closely align its cost structure with
its reduced revenue levels and to improve its operating margins and cash flows.
The Company also expects to lower its costs through a combination of production
efficiencies and use of third-party providers. However, the Company is subject
to certain risks similar to other companies serving the digital products and
services market such as system performance problems due to technical
difficulties, competition from other companies with possibly greater financial,
technical, and marketing resources and the risks of executing on its current
business plan.
On December 22, 2004, the Company announced that it had accepted a
non-binding term sheet from an investor group for a $4 million capital
investment. Subject to negotiation of definitive agreements and customary
closing conditions, Sunra Capital Holdings, Orca Bay Partners, and Madrona
Venture Group will purchase $2 million in subordinated notes, convertible into
common stock at a conversion price of $.1078 per share and warrants to purchase
an additional approximately 1.9 million shares of common stock at a price of
$.21 per share. These subordinated notes will automatically convert into common
stock at the conversion price upon approval by the Company's shareholders of a
recapitalization proposal that will be submitted to the Company's shareholders
at the annual meeting to be held in March 2005. In addition, upon approval of
the recapitalization proposal, the investor group will purchase an additional $2
million of common stock at $.1078 per share and warrants to purchase an
additional 1.9 million shares at $.21 per share.
PHOTOWORKS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
NOTE B - LIQUIDITY AND RECAPITALIZATION (Continued)
Under the recapitalization proposal to be submitted to shareholders for
their approval, the holders of the Company's outstanding Series A Preferred
Stock will convert their shares into 20,746,888 shares of common stock at a
conversion price of $.723 per share. The holders of the Company's outstanding
subordinated debentures due April 2006 will convert the $2.5 million principal
balance of the debentures into common stock at a conversion price of $.11 per
share. There can be no assurance that we will be able to negotiate definitive
agreements with the investor group or obtain alternate sources of financing.
Management believes that if the Company is successful in acquiring the
additional financing referred to above and the recapitalization proposal is
approved, based on its current operational plans, current cash balances and
future cash flows, the Company will have sufficient cash to fund its operations
through at least the next twelve months. However, if the Company is not able to
successfully complete the proposed financing and related recapitalization, the
Company will need to raise additional financing and may need to further reduce
its expenditures to be able to continue operations. These matters raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible
future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts
and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
NOTE C - INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (using the first-in,
first-out method) or market. Inventories consist primarily of film and
photofinishing supplies. An inventory reserve is established based on the
valuation of the Company's inventory, and those inventories which are obsolete
or in excess of forecasted usage or their estimated net realizable value.
NOTE D - VENDOR RECEIVABLE
During the second quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company reached a
settlement agreement regarding disputed fees for services provided to the
Company, resulting in a $738,000 reduction in administrative expenses. Under the
terms of the settlement, the Company receives $95,000 annually for four years.
The first payment was received in July 2004. The fair value of the receivable
was determined at the time of the settlement (February 2004) and the Company is
recognizing imputed interest income on a monthly basis.
NOTE E - INCOME TAXES
The Company has net deferred tax assets totaling $12,605,000, comprised
primarily of net operating loss carryforwards. Due to the recent history of
operating losses, the uncertainty of future taxable income, and limitations on
the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards under IRC Section 382, a
valuation allowance of $12,605,000 has been recorded against net deferred tax
assets.
NOTE F - DEFERRED REVENUES
Deferred revenues related primarily to the Prepaid Print Credits and
Pick Your Prints product. The Company recognizes the revenue from these
offerings based on the relative fair values of the products contained in the
offers when such products are actually shipped.
NOTE G -- PURCHASE OF PHOTOACCESS TECHNOLOGIES ASSETS
In August 2004, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of
PhotoAccess Technologies Corporation in exchange for 1.2 million shares of the
Company's common stock. PhotoAccess was a competitor in the online digital
processing business with superior website technology and infrastructure.
PHOTOWORKS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
NOTE G -- PURCHASE OF PHOTOACCESS TECHNOLOGIES ASSETS (Continued)
The assets purchased included the operations of PhotoAccess along with
the customer list, the website software and technology, and related hardware and
software to run the website. The total cost of the acquisition was $487,000
which includes the 1.2 million shares of PhotoWorks Common Stock. 400,000 shares
of the 1.2 million shares issued are being held in escrow for a period of eleven
months to satisfy any unknown liabilities of PhotoAccess that may arise within
eleven months of the closing date.
NOTE H - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," and SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -
Transition Disclosures," and applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25
(APB 25) and related Interpretations in accounting for its stock option plans.
Accordingly, the Company's stock-based compensation expense is recognized based
on the intrinsic value of the option on the date of grant. In December 2004,
SFAS No. 123R was released, which requires all share-based payments to
employees, including grants of employee stock option, to be recognized in the
financial statements based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure will no
longer be an alternative to financial statement recognition and the information
heretofore included only in the footnotes to the Company's financial statements
will be included in the body of the financial statements after this SFAS is
adopted by the Company in its fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. Management is still
exploring the transition provisions allowed by the Statement.
Pro forma information regarding net loss and loss per share has been
determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under
the fair value method of SFAS No. 123. The fair value for the options was
estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with
the following weighted-average assumptions on the option grant date:
December 25, 2004 December 27, 2003
Risk free interest rate 3.21% 2.44%
Expected volatility 152.32% 185.74%
Expected option life 3.16 years 3.18 years
Dividend yield 0.00% 0.00%
Under Statement No. 123, if the Company had elected to recognize the
compensation cost based upon the fair value of the options granted at grant
date, net loss would have been increased as follows:
First Quarter Ended
December 25, 2004 December 27, 2003
Net loss as reported $ (991,000) $(467,000)
Add: Stock-based compensation expense
included in net income, net of related tax effects 14,000 29,000
Deduct: Stock-based compensation as determined
under FAS 123, net of related tax effects (74,000) (331,000)
Pro forma net loss $ (1,051,000) $(769,000)
Loss per share as reported $(.06) $(.03)
Pro-forma loss per share $(.06) $(.05)

NOTE I - LOSS PER SHARE
Loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. Convertible preferred shares,
outstanding warrants, and stock options to purchase shares of common stock were
excluded from the computations of loss per share because their effect was
antidilutive. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and
diluted loss per share:
First Quarter Ended
December 25, 2004 December 27, 2003
Numerator for loss per common share:
Net loss $ (991,000) $ (467,000)
Denominator for basic loss per share:

Weighted average number of common shares held in escrow (400,000)
Effect of dilutive securities:
Stock options, warrants, convertible preferred shares - -
Denominator for diluted earnings per share 17,749,000 16,667,000
Net loss per share $ (.06) $ (.03)
At December 25, 2004, and December 27, 2003, there were 8,126,360 and
8,101,946 stock options, warrants, and common stock upon conversion of Series A
preferred shares, respectively, that were excluded from the computation of
diluted loss per share as their effect was antidilutive. If the Company had
reported net income, the calculation of these per share amounts would have
included the dilutive effect of these common stock equivalents using the
treasury stock method.
NOTE J-- SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
Convertible Preferred Stock
The shares of Series A preferred stock have a conversion price of $4.75
and include warrants to purchase common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per
share. The shares of Series A preferred stock are convertible into a total of
3,157,895 shares of common stock and the warrants are exercisable to purchase a
total of 789,474 shares of common stock which are reserved for issuance. The
warrants expire in February 2005. The shares are convertible at the holder's
option at any time and may be redeemed by the Company for $4.75 per share,
subject to anti-dilution provisions, at any time.
The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have a preference on the
sale or liquidation of the Company. The aggregate amount of the liquidation
preference at December 25, 2004, is $19,387,500, inclusive of accumulated
dividends. The holders of Series A preferred stock also have preferential rights
to receive dividends at the rate of 6% but only when, and if, declared by the
Company's Board of Directors. To date, no such dividends have been declared. The
holders are entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of
common stock into which the preferred stock could be converted.
NOTE K -- CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
In April 2001, the Company issued $2,500,000 of convertible debentures
carrying a 7% interest rate and is convertible, at the discretion of the
holders, into Series B Preferred Stock at a conversion price of $75.00 per
share. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of
the holder, at any time, into 100 shares of common stock (Series B conversion to
common stock results in $.75 per common share). The Series B Preferred Stock has
a preference on sale or liquidation of the Company of $5,000,000. If not
previously converted, the debentures are required to be repaid in April 2006.

NOTE L -- ITC SETTLEMENT
In September 2003, the Company negotiated a settlement agreement with
the International Trade Commission, whereby the Company pays $250,000 in July
for each of the four years beginning in 2004. The Company accrued a penalty
amount of $875,000 ($1,000,000 penalty net of imputed interest of $125,000 at an
estimated borrowing rate of 6%) in the fiscal 2003 financial statements for this
matter.
NOTE M -- CONTINGENCIES
The Company was a defendant in a claim filed by Fuji Photo Film Co.,
Ltd. with the International Trade Commission. There is a risk that Fuji could
bring a civil action against the Company for damages for patent infringement by
reason of sales of cameras that have been found in the International Trade
Commission proceedings to infringe Fuji patents. If such a suit was filed
against the Company, it could have a significantly harmful impact on its
financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. The Company is unable
to determine the probability or likelihood of such an action.
The Company is also involved in various routine legal proceedings in
the ordinary course of its business.
NOTE N - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
In January 2005, the Company signed an agreement with a wholesale
photofinisher whereby that photofinisher will process all mail order film
processing and reprint orders. The transition to outsource these operations is
anticipated to be completed towards the end of the Company's second quarter or
early in the third quarter of fiscal 2005. Pursuant to this agreement, the
Company will initiate a reduction in force, representing approximately 50% of
its current workforce, primarily production personnel. The Company expects to
record a charge of approximately $200,000 related to workforce reductions in its
second quarter ending March 26, 2005.
The equipment used in the film processing operations will be fully
depreciated by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2005. Therefore, no
additional writedowns to equipment will be recorded. Management believes it will
be able to use all of the inventory currently on hand prior to the transition.

Critical Accounting Policies
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations discusses the Company's consolidated financial statements, which
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires
management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, net revenue, and expenses. Management's estimates and
judgments are based upon management's historical experience, knowledge of
economic and market factors, and various other factors that are believed to be
relevant given the circumstances. Significant policies, methodologies,
estimates, and the factors used therein, are reviewed on at least a quarterly
basis with the Company's Audit Committee. Actual results may differ from these
estimates.
The following is a discussion of the estimates included in the
Company's financial statements that encompass matters of uncertainty, whereby
different estimates could have reasonably been made or changes in such estimates
could have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.
Reserve for Obsolete Inventory
We regularly assess the valuation of our inventory and write down those
inventories that are obsolete, or in excess of forecasted usage, to their
estimated realizable value. A reserve for obsolescence is recorded against
inventory for any film or paper inventories that are nearing their expiration
dates. Additional reserves are recorded for slow-moving or discontinued stock to
the extent it is estimated the materials may go unused based on historical
inventory turnover, planned changes in marketing promotions or other anticipated
changes in product mix over the next year, seasonality, or other factors.
Estimates of future usage are based on estimates of future production and
product mix. Management believes it will be able to use all of the inventory
currently on hand prior to the transition of film processing to a third party,
which is anticipated to be completed in the second quarter. If actual production
or product mix differs from our estimates, we may need to record additional
reserves for obsolete inventory.
Long- Lived Assets
Property, plant, and equipment are depreciated over their estimated
useful lives as determined as of their placed-in-service date. Management
reviews these initial estimates quarterly and if the estimates need to e
shortened, the assets are depreciated over the remaining useful life. Beginning
in the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company began researching alternatives to
increase its operational efficiencies for its film processing operations. The
majority of the Company's equipment is related to film processing and has been
fully depreciated. However, a few assets had remaining lives beyond management's
current estimate. The estimated remaining useful lives of those assets was
revised to approximately nine months and, as a result, additional depreciation
expense of approximately $90,000 was recorded during the first quarter of 2005.
Deferred Revenues
Deferred revenues relate primarily to Prepaid Print Credits and the
Pick Your Prints product, which were introduced around the beginning of fiscal
2004. With prepaid print credits, customers essentially receive discounted
prices on digital products by purchasing bulk quantities of print credits. No
revenue is recognized at the time the print credits are purchased. The revenue
is deferred until the credits are used to purchase actual products and the
products have been shipped to the customer. The Pick Your Prints product offers
film developing with high-resolution scanning. For one price, the customer
receives their developed negatives and subsequently orders, online, only the
prints they want. The Company defers revenue from the initial film processing
and scanning based on the relative fair value of the digital prints to all of
the product components. This deferred revenue is recognized when customers order
and are shipped their digital prints. In October 2004, these products were
enhanced so that the print credits were extendable to all digital products.
Given this enhancement and the relative newness of these product offerings,
management does not believe it can currently estimate, with reasonable accuracy,
any breakage on the above products. As more information becomes available over
the life cycle of these products, management may be able to reasonably estimate
a breakage factor, which may have a material impact on revenues and gross
margins.
Deferred Tax Assets
We have net deferred tax assets totaling $12,605,000, comprised
primarily of net operating loss carryforwards. Due to our recent history of
operating losses, the uncertainty of future taxable income, and limitations on
the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards under IRC Section 382, we
have recorded a valuation allowance of $12,605,000 against our net deferred tax
assets.
Results of Operations
The following table presents information from the Company's
consolidated statements of operations, expressed as a percentage of net revenues
for the periods indicated.
First Quarter Ended
December 25, December 27,
2004 2003
Net revenues 100.0% 100.0%

Total operating expenses 51.9 37.1
Loss from operations (22.5) (7.5)
Total other expense (1.0) (.6)
Net loss (23.5)% (8.1)%
The Company incurred a net loss of $991,000 in the first quarter of
fiscal 2005, compared to a net loss of $467,000 for the first quarter of 2004,
primarily due to continued decline in film processing revenues.
Net revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 declined 26.7% to
$4,219,000, compared to $5,755,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2004. The
decrease in net revenues is due to a 39.7% decline in revenue from traditional
film processing volumes, partially offset by 40.1% growth in revenues from
digital-based products and services. In the first quarter of fiscal 2005, net
revenues from digital-based products and services increased to approximately 31%
of net revenues, or $1,323,000,
compared to 16% of net revenues, or $944,000, in
the first quarter of the prior year. Net revenues in fiscal 2005 are expected to
continue to be lower than fiscal 2004 primarily due to lower film processing
volumes.
Gross profit in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 was 29.4%, relatively
consistent with the 29.6% reported in the first quarter of fiscal 2004. The
Company has not had any significant changes in its direct costs since the prior
year and has managed its fixed production overhead costs in order to reduce them
proportionally with the decline in order volumes.
In January 2005, the Company announced that it had signed an agreement
to outsource its traditional film processing to a third-party film processing
provider. It is expected that this agreement will allow the Company to further
reduce overhead expenses by approximately $1,600,000 on an annualized basis. The
Company provided 60-day notices to approximately 66 employees and anticipates
recording a charge of approximately $200,000 in the second quarter of fiscal
2005 related to this reduction in force.
Total operating expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 were
$2,192,000 or 51.9% of net revenues, compared to $2,135,000 or 37.1% of net
revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2004. Changes to the timing and
magnitude of marketing programs and changes or enhancements to the website and
product offerings, may impact future periods.
Marketing expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 increased to
$734,000, or 17% of net revenues, compared to $632,000 or 11% of net revenues in
the first quarter of fiscal 2004. The increase is due to increased spending for
online media. Marketing expenses will fluctuate due to the timing of marketing
promotions and product introductions.
Information technology services expenses increased to $892,000 for the
first quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to $810,000 in the first quarter of fiscal
2004. IT services consists of costs incurred to develop and maintain the website
and related photo archiving infrastructure, as well as maintaining and operating
the computerized film processing equipment and systems. The increase is due to
depreciation of the new website and archive infrastructure that was developed
over the latter half of fiscal 2004 and launched in October 2005. The old
archive system is being phased out over the first half of fiscal 2005, as
customer accounts and images are transferred. This process is anticipated to be
completed during the second quarter of fiscal 2005.
We did experience downtime and system interruptions during the launch
of our new website in October 2004. As part of the system conversion, customers
are unable to access all of their images stored online. This disruption has
caused a number of customer complaints and has interfered in our ability to
provide certain services to our customers. We believe the majority of the issues
surrounding the website and systems conversion have been identified and are
being corrected.
General and administrative expenses decreased to $566,000 for the first
quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to $693,000 for the first quarter of fiscal
2004. The decrease was primarily due to lower staffing costs. General and
administrative expenses consist of costs related to finance, legal, accounting,
investor relations, human resources, and other general corporate activities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of January 28 2005, our principal source of liquidity included
approximately $1.2 million of cash and cash equivalents.
The Company has experienced significant revenue declines and has
incurred operating losses in the past several years. For fiscal 2004, cash flow
used in operations was $1,600,000, primarily attributable to a net loss of
$1,672,000. For the first quarter of fiscal 2005, cash flow used in operations
was $144,000. Cash and cash equivalents declined from $4,756,000 at the
beginning of fiscal 2004 to $2,197,000 as of December 25, 2004. The Company
expects a further decline in cash and cash equivalents in fiscal 2005 primarily
due to continued operating losses resulting from declines in film revenues.
Management has taken various actions, including workforce reductions
and reduced operating expenditures to more closely align its cost structure with
its reduced revenue levels and to improve its operating margins and cash flows.
The Company also expects to lower its costs through a combination of production
efficiencies and use of third-party providers. However, the Company is subject
to certain risks similar to other companies serving the digital products and
services market such as system performance problems due to technical
difficulties, competition from other companies with possibly greater financial,
technical, and marketing resources and the risks of executing on its current
business plan.
On December 22, 2004, the Company announced that it had accepted a
non-binding term sheet from an investor group for a $4 million capital
investment. Subject to negotiation of definitive agreements and customary
closing conditions, Sunra Capital Holdings, Orca Bay Partners, and Madrona
Venture Group will purchase $2 million in subordinated notes, convertible into
common stock at a conversion price of $.1078 per share, and receive warrants to
purchase an additional 1.9 million shares of common stock at a price of $.21 per
share. These subordinated notes will automatically convert into common stock at
the conversion price upon approval by the Company's shareholders of a
recapitalization proposal that will be submitted to the Company's shareholders
at the upcoming annual meeting. In addition, upon approval of the
recapitalization proposal, the investor group will purchase an additional $2
million of common stock at $.1078 per share and receive warrants to purchase an
additional 1.9 million shares at $.21 per share.
Under the recapitalization proposal to be submitted to shareholders for
their approval, the holders of the Company's outstanding Series A Preferred
Stock will convert their shares into 20,746,888 shares of common stock at a
conversion price of $.723 per share. The holders of the Company's outstanding
subordinated debentures due April 2006 will convert the $2.5 million principal
balance of the debentures into common stock at a conversion price of $.11 per
share. There can be no assurance that we will be able to negotiate definitive
agreements with the investor group or obtain alternate sources of financing.
Management believes that if the Company is successful in acquiring the
additional financing referred to above and the recapitalization proposal is
approved, based on its current operational plans, current cash balances and
future cash flows, the Company will have sufficient cash to fund its operations
through at least the next twelve months. However, if the Company is not able to
successfully complete the proposed financing and related recapitalization, the
Company will need to raise additional financing and may need to further reduce
its expenditures to be able to continue operations. These matters raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible
future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts
and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
Net cash used in operating activities was $144,000 during the first
quarter of fiscal 2004 compared to $819,000 in fiscal 2003. In fiscal 2004, the
net cash used was primarily due to the net loss, offset by reductions in
inventory levels and increases to accounts payable. The reductions in inventory
levels are consistent with the lower production volumes. The increase in
payables is due to marketing activities towards the end of the quarter promoting
holiday sales and the purchase of Customer Relationship Management ("CRM")
Software during the quarter, payable in eight equal quarterly installments.
Net cash used in investing activities was $163,000 for fiscal 2005
compared to $188,000 in fiscal 2004. Equipment purchased during the first
quarter consists primarily of the CRM software discussed above, plus additional
hardware and servers for the image archive.
Net cash from financing activities is primarily due to stock option
exercises.
Controls and Procedures
At the end of the period covered by this report, as part of our
quarterly review, we evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation
of the Company's management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Accounting Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 and
15d-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief
Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are
effective to timely alert them to any material information relating to the
Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) that must be included in our
periodic SEC filings. There have been no significant changes in the Company's
internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal
controls subsequent to their evaluation.
