ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, with the participation of management, evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of October 31, 2003. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded our disclosure controls and procedures were, as of October 31, 2003, (1) designed to ensure that material information relating to us, and our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report was being prepared, and (2) effective, in that they provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. There have not been changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. As described in Note 10 to our interim consolidated financial statements contained herein, we have restated our financial statements to reflect adjustments resulting from the revision of our accounting treatment of revenues derived form our rebate claim filing services and cash flows associated with our Advance Pay Program. In light of this restatement, we conducted a new evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the date of the filing of this amended report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the prior conclusion was correct and our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. We have not designed or implemented any changes to our disclosure controls and procedures as a result of the restatement or the evaluation. 26 SIGNATURES In accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, the Registrant caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
