September 30, 2004 and 2003 PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS - ---------------------------------------------------- The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tennessee Valley Financial Holdings, Inc. (the "Company"), a bank holding company, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, TnBank (the "Bank"). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. TnBank was incorporated on July 6, 1994 for the purpose of organizing a state-chartered commercial bank and commenced operations on May 30, 1995. TnBank provides a variety of banking services to individuals and businesses through its two offices in Oak Ridge and one office in Knoxville, Tennessee. During the third quarter of 2004, we moved our Knoxville branch to a new facility in the Farragut community of Knoxville. This new facility, located at 11200 Kingston Pike, replaces the Company's branch formerly located at 118 Mabry Hood Road. Our primary deposit products are demand deposits and certificates of deposit, and our primary lending products are commercial business, real estate mortgage, and consumer installment loans. This report contains forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks and uncertainties. When used in this discussion, the words "believes", "anticipates", "contemplates", "expects", and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore, we cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements set out in this report will prove to be accurate. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: o Economic conditions (both generally and more specifically in the markets in which we operate); o Competition for our customers from other providers of financial services; o Government legislation and regulation (which changes from time to time and over which we have no control); o Changes in interest rates; and o Material unforeseen changes in liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of our customers. These risks are difficult to predict and many of them are beyond our control. NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - --------------------------------------------------- The unaudited quarterly financial statements of Tennessee Valley Financial Holdings, Inc. presented herein should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003. Financial information as of September 30, 2004 and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, and cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 are unaudited, and in the opinion of management reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such information. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year. NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING POLICY CHANGES - ---------------------------------- In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123. This statement provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this statement amends the disclosure -8- requirements of Statement 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. Statement No. 148 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002 and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. We apply the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, in accounting for their stock option plans and have not elected a voluntary change to the fair value based method prescribed in Statement No. 123. Our consolidated annual financial statements beginning in 2002 and consolidated interim financial statements beginning in 2003 include the additional disclosures required by SFAS No. 148, but management does not anticipate this statement having a significant impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This statement amends Statement 133 for decisions made as part of the Derivatives Implementation Group process and other board projects and in conjunction with other implementation issues. Since we do not invest in derivatives or engage in hedging activities, management does not expect this statement to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity. This statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. Since we have not yet issued any instruments of the type discussed in the statement, management does not expect this statement to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. NOTE 3 - COMMITMENTS - -------------------- As of September 30, 2004, the Company had outstanding commitments to advance construction funds and to originate loans in the amount of $9.6 million and commitments to advance existing home equity and other credit lines in the amount of $15.0 million. In addition, the Company has also conveyed $364,000 in standby letters of credit. NOTE 4 - OTHER BORROWINGS - ------------------------- The following table summarizes the Company's other borrowings as of September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively (in thousands). September 30, 2004 December 31, 2003 --------------------- ---------------------- Federal Home Loan Bank Advances $ 8,500 $ 8,650 Fed Funds Purchased - 370 Capital Lease Obligations 245 261 ---------------------- ---------------------- Total Other Borrowings $ 8,745 $ 9,281 ====================== ====================== -9- NOTE 5 - STOCK OPTIONS - ---------------------- The Company has two stock option plans that are described more fully below. The Company accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in consolidated income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions under SFAS Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation.

The plan terminates in ten years, or sooner at the board's discretion. The board of directors also has discretion concerning which eligible persons shall be granted options, the term of each granted option, and the number of shares for which each option shall be granted. Options must be exercised within ten years from the date they are granted and must include a price per share of at least 85% to 110% of the fair value of the stock on the date the options were granted. The board has reserved 19,457 shares of common stock for issuance during the term of the plan. In 1999, the board of directors awarded a total of 14,600 options at an exercise price of $16 per share, which was equal to the fair value of the stock on the date the options were granted. The options vest over a four-year period, 14,500 of which are vested and remain unexercised as of September 30, 2004. In 2002, the board of directors approved an additional stock option plan to provide key employees with additional incentive to contribute to our best interests. The plan terminates in ten years. The board of directors also has discretion concerning which eligible persons shall be granted options, the term of each granted option, and the number of shares for which each option shall be granted. Options must be exercised within ten years from the date they are granted and must include a price per share of at least 100% of the fair value of our common stock on the date the option is granted. The board of directors has reserved the lesser of 20% of the diluted shares outstanding (107,346 shares at December 31, 2003) or 213,612 shares of common stock for issuance during the term of the plan. The board of directors has not awarded any options under this plan. -10- The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for the quarter ending September 30, 2004 and 2003.

We are a registered bank holding company under the Federal Reserve Act. Our only activity is owning the Bank which commenced operations on May 30, 1995. For the three months ending September 30, 2004, we earned net income of $201,000 or $0.38 per share as compared to $288,000 or $0.53 per share for the corresponding period in 2003. For the first three quarters of 2004, net income was $688,000 and $856,000 for the same period in 2003. The decrease in net income for the third quarter of 2004 and the first three quarters of 2004 are both primarily due to a decrease in non-interest income (primarily fees on sales of mortgage loans) and an increase in non-interest expense. These were partially offset by increases in the Company's net interest income for both the third quarter and the first three quarters of 2004. The table below presents certain key financial ratios for the first three quarters of 2004 and 2003. For the nine months ending September 30, 2004 2003 ------------------- ------------------- Return on Average Assets 0.80% 1.06% Return on Average Equity 10.53% 14.02% Earnings per share - basic $ 1.29 $ 1.60 NET INTEREST INCOME - ------------------- Net interest income was $3.6 million for the first three quarters of 2004, an increase of approximately 11.7% or $375,000 over the same period in 2003. The increase in net interest income was due primarily to an increase in the volume of earnings assets for the first three quarters of 2004 as compared to 2003 and an increase in our net interest margin. Net interest income was $ 1.3 million for the third quarter of 2004 as compared to $1.1 million for the same period in 2003. The increase in net interest income for the third quarter of 2004 as compared to the third quarter of 2003 can be attributed to an increase in the volume of earning assets. Average loans increased approximately $9.5 million to $92.7 million at September 30, 2004, as compared to $83.1 million at December 31, 2003. Average loans were approximately 85% of total earning assets at September 30, 2004 and 84% at December 31, 2003. The yield on total earning assets declined 40 basis points for the first three quarters of 2004 as compared to the first three quarters of 2003. The primary reason for the continued decline in yields on earning assets was due to a decline in general interest rates since 2001. The decline in general interest rates resulted in a decline in earning asset yields primarily due to two circumstances. First, earning assets which repriced during 2003 and 2004 (i.e. loans and investment securities at floating rates, loans renewed or renegotiated, etc.) generally were priced at lower yields than had previously been the case. Additionally, new earning assets (i.e. loans originated, securities purchased) during 2003 and 2004 were added at lower yields. Loan yields declined 44 basis points to 6.59% for the first three quarters of 2004 as compared to 7.03% for the first three quarters of 2003 due to the reasons discussed above. Investment yields declined 56 basis points during the first three quarters of 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003, again due to the decline in the general interest rate environment. Yields on federal funds sold, the rates on which can change overnight, declined 7 basis points remaining relatively stable as short-term investments remained stable from 2003 to 2004. -12- Total interest expense was approximately $1.5 million for the first three quarters of 2004, an 11.2% decrease as compared to the same period in 2003. The average rate on interest-bearing deposits was 1.80% for the first three quarters of 2004, 43 basis points lower than the average rate on deposits during the first three quarters of 2003. The decrease in the rates on deposits during 2004 as compared to 2003 can be attributed to the decline in interest rates since 2001. The average cost of borrowed funds was 3.82% for the first three quarters of 2004 and 4.01% for the first three quarters of 2003. The overall rate on interest-bearing liabilities was 1.83% for the first three quarters of 2004 compared to 2.20% for the same period in 2003.

In recent years, the banking industry has experienced steady interest rates, which have likewise produced steady growth in net interest income as the bank has grown. The Company will be affected by changes in levels of interest rates and other economic factors beyond its control, particularly to the extent that such factors affect the overall volume of its lending and deposit activities. A sudden increase in interest rates could have an adverse impact on the Company's net income through a narrower interest margin and reduced lending volume. -13- The Company's Asset/Liability Committee ("ALCO" committee) follows the Asset/Liability Management Policy approved by the board of directors. The ALCO committee meets at least quarterly or more often as considered necessary to discuss asset/liability management issues and make recommendations to the board of directors regarding prudent asset/liability management policies and procedures. Some of the issues the ALCO committee considers include: local and national economic forecasts; interest rate forecasts and spreads; mismatches between the maturities of the Company's assets (loans, and investments) and liabilities (deposits); anticipated loan demands; and the liquidity position of the Company. The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are "interest rate sensitive" and by monitoring an institution's interest rate sensitivity "gap." An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period. The interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a specific time period and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within that time period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities. A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive assets. During a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income while a positive gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income. During a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income while a positive gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income. The Company has a positive gap, with more rate bearing liabilities repricing than earning assets repricing as of September 30, 2004. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES - ------------------------- Provision for loan losses was $145,000 for the first three quarters of 2004, compared to $240,000 for the first three quarters of 2003. For the third quarter of 2004 the provision for loan losses was $99,000 compared to $77,000 during the third quarter of 2003. The decline in the provision for certain loan losses for the first three quarters of 2004 can be primarily attributed to the satisfactory resolution of loans classified adversely without loss to the Company. The increase in provision for loan loss for the third quarter of 2004 as compared 2003 can be primarily attributed to increased charge-offs during the third quarter of 2004. The balance of the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2004 was $1.23 million (1.25% of gross loans) compared to $1.24 million (1.46% of gross loans) at December 31, 2003. Net charge-offs for the first three quarters of 2004 were $200,000 as compared to $43,000 for the first three quarters of 2003. As a percentage of average loans, the annualized rate of net charge-offs was 0.29% for the first three quarters of 2004 compared to a 0.06% ratio for the same period in 2003. As of September 30, 2004, management's review of the allowance for loan losses concluded that the balance was adequate to provide for potential losses based upon an evaluation of risk in the loan portfolio. Despite our credit standards, internal controls, and continuous loan review process, the inherent risk in the lending process results in periodic charge-offs. Through the provision for loan losses, we maintain a reserve for loan losses that management believes is adequate to absorb losses within the loan portfolio. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination procedures, periodically review our reserve for loan losses, and based on their judgment may require the us to recognize additions to the reserve for loan losses. Management completes a formal analysis of the reserve for loan losses adequacy on a monthly basis. -14- Analysis of the Allowance for Loan Losses (In thousands) For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 2003 ----------------- ---------------- Average Loans Outstanding $ 92,656 $ 82,815 ================= ================ Allowance at beginning of period 1,283 1,047 Charge-offs: Commercial, financial and agricultural 83 6 Real Estate - construction Real Estate - mortgage 8 14 Installment - consumer 126 37 Other ----------------- ---------------- Total charge-offs 217 57 ----------------- ---------------- Recoveries: Commercial, financial and agricultural Real Estate - construction Real Estate - mortgage 5 Installment - consumer 12 14 Other ----------------- ---------------- Total recoveries 17 14 Net charge-offs 200 43 ----------------- ---------------- Provision for loan losses 145 240 ----------------- ---------------- Balance at end of period $ 1,228 $ 1,244 ================= ================ Ratio of net charge-offs during the period to average loans outstanding 0.22% 0.05% during the period NON-INTEREST INCOME - ------------------- Total non-interest income was approximately $646,000 for the first three quarters of 2004 compared to $1.1 million for the same periods in 2003. For the third quarter of 2004, non-interest income declined $166,000 to $216,000 as compared to the third quarter of 2003. The primary reason for the decline in non-interest income for the first three quarters of 2004 and the third quarter of 2004 as compared to the same periods in 2003 is a decline in fees on sales mortgage loans. Fees on sales of mortgage loans fell to $263,000 during the first three quarters of 2004 as compared to approximately $783,000 during the first three quarters of 2003. Fees on the sale of mortgage loans were $97,000 for the third quarter of 2004 as compared to $251,000 for the same period in 2003. Management attributes the decrease in fees on sales of mortgage loans to a decrease in the volume of loans sold, as a significant number of eligible households have already refinanced during this low mortgage interest rate cycle, and the increase in mortgage rates from 2004 as compared to 2003. NON-INTEREST EXPENSE - --------------------- Non-interest expense totaled approximately $3.0 million for the first three quarters of 2004 as compared to $2.8 million during the first three quarters of 2003. Non-interest expense (annualized) as a percent of total average assets was 3.47% for the first three quarters of 2004 compared to 3.39% for the first three quarters of 2003. The increase in non-interest expense during the first three quarters of 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003 can be primarily attributed to increases in net occupancy expense, legal and professional expense and other expenses. Most of the net occupancy expense increases are attributable to the branch relocation of our Knoxville branch in 2004, where we moved to a larger facility. The increase in legal and professional expense is attributable in part to additional audit work required under new audit standards and expanded internal audit services employed by management. Non-interest -15- expense increased $69,000 to $1.0 million for the third quarter as compared to the same period in 2003. The increase in these expenses can be attributed to the growth of the Bank which has brought on the need for additional overhead expenses. INCOME TAXES - ------------ The Company recognizes income taxes under the asset and liability method established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for the temporary differences between the accounting basis and the tax basis of our assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the amounts related to such temporary differences are realized or settled. Our deferred tax assets are reviewed quarterly and adjustments to such assets are recognized as deferred income tax expense or benefit based on management's judgment relating to the realizability of such assets. We recognized income tax expense of $384,000 and $479,000 for the first three quarters of 2004 and 2003, respectively. Income tax expense was $151,000 for the third quarter of 2004 as compared to $170,000 for the third quarter of 2003. The effective income tax rate for the Company was 35.8% for the first three quarters of 2004 and 35.9% for the first three quarters of 2003. BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS - COMPARISON OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 TO DECEMBER 31, 2003 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Assets totaled $123.8 million at September 30, 2004, as compared to $107.1 million at December 31, 2003, an increase of 15.6%. The primary category of assets growth was loans, which grew $11.3 million, funded by $16.9 million in growth of deposits. INVESTMENT SECURITIES - --------------------- Investment securities were approximately $15.1 million, or 12% of total assets, at September 30, 2004, an increase of $578,000 from December 31, 2003. We purchased $5.9 million in investment securities during the first three quarters of 2004, while maturities, calls, sales and principal pay-downs provided cash of $5.2 million. The investment portfolio is comprised of U.S. Government and federal agency obligations and mortgage-backed securities issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB), the Federal Farm Credit Bank (FFCB), the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) and the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA). We also invest in tax-free, bank-qualified state, county and municipal bonds, and investment grade corporate debt securities. Mortgage-backed issues comprised 32.6% of the portfolio at September 30, 2004 and 35.1% at December 31, 2003. At September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, 100% of our portfolio was classified as available for sale and is reflected on the balance sheet at fair value with net unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity, net of applicable deferred income taxes. The unrealized loss on investment securities available for sale was $129,000 at September 30, 2004, a decrease of $45,000 from December 31, 2003, primarily as a result of changes in the bond market. The fair value of securities fluctuates with the movement of interest rates. Generally, during periods of decreasing interest rates, the fair values increase whereas the opposite may hold true during a rising interest rate environment. LOANS - ----- During the first three quarters of 2004, loans increased $11.3 million to $96.8 million at September 30, 2004. -16- Loans by Type (In thousands) September 30, 2004 December 31, 2003 ----------------------- ---------------------------- Commercial, financial and agricultural $ 28,050 $ 26,898 Real estate - construction 19,831 12,363 Real estate - mortgage 40,324 38,668 Installment loans to individuals 9,952 8,981 ----------------------- ---------------------------- Loans, gross $ 98,157 $ 86,910 Less: Allowance for loan losses (1,229) (1,283) Unearned loan fees (136) (129) ----------------------- ---------------------------- $ 96,792 $ 85,498 ======================= ============================ Included in the above may be loans which have been classified as impaired, pursuant to the adoption of SFAS No. 114. Non-Performing Assets (In thousands) September 30, 2004 December 31, 2003 ----------------------- ----------------------- Non-accrual loans(1) $ 749 962 Loans past due greater than 90 days and still accruing interest - 21 Restructured loans(2) 151 155 Other real estate owned 345 20 ----------------------- ----------------------- Total Non-Performing Assets $ 1,245 $ 1,158 ======================= ======================= (1) Included in non-accrual loans are $749,000 and $962,000 of loans considered impaired as of September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. (2) Included in restructured loans are $64,000 as of December 31, 2003. A loan is generally placed on non-accrual status and ceases accruing interest when loan payment performance is deemed unsatisfactory. All loans past due 90 days, however, are placed on non-accrual status, unless the loan is both well collateralized and in the process of collection. Cash payments received while a loan is classified as non-accrual are recorded as a reduction of principal as long as doubt exists as to collection. Other real estate owned totaled $345,000 at September 30, 2004 and $20,000 at December 31, 2003. We have six relationships that are considered restructured as defined by accounting standards. The classification as restructured was brought on by changes in the terms of the loans precipitated by deterioration in the borrowers' financial condition. DEPOSITS - -------- Deposits grew approximately $16.9 million to $105.0 million at September 30, 2004 from $88.1 million at December 31, 2003. Core deposits, which include regular savings, money market, NOW and demand deposits, were $58.4 million, or 55.7% of total deposits, at September 30, 2004. Core deposits were 53.3% of total deposits at December 31, 2003. Time deposits totaled $46.6 million at September 30, 2004, an increase of approximately $5.4 million from $41.1 million at December 31, 2003. The increase in core deposits can be primarily be attributed to additional marketing and management focus on attracting core deposits in an effort to improve the Bank's net interest margin, as these deposits typically carry lower interest rates than time deposits. The increase in time deposits represents more aggressive deposit pricing for time deposits in the first three quarters of 2004, in part due to the funding requirements of our loan portfolio growth and specials associated with the Company moving to a new branch facility in the Farragut community of Knoxville during the third quarter of 2004. -17- Deposit Balances By Type (In thousands) September 30, 2004 December 31, 2003 -------------------- ------------------ Demand Deposits: Non-interest bearing demand accounts $ 10,813 $ 7,815 NOW and money market accounts 44,265 36,049 Savings accounts 3,367 3,141 -------------------- ------------------ Total demand deposits 58,445 47,005 -------------------- ------------------ Term Deposits: Less than $100,000 31,494 26,317 $100,000 or more 15,065 14,796 -------------------- ------------------ Total Term Deposits 46,559 41,113 -------------------- ------------------ Total Deposits $ 105,004 $ 88,118 ==================== ================== CAPITAL - ------- During the first three quarters of 2004, stockholders' equity increased $616,000 to $9.1 million. The increase in stockholders' equity was due primarily to net income of $688,000, offset by a decline in comprehensive income of $31,000, and a reduction in common stock and capital in excess of par value of $41,000 related to repurchase of 2,100 shares of common stock during the first three quarters of 2004. -18- Regulatory Capital TnBank (Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Tennessee Valley Financial Holdings, Inc.)

That plan was modified in October 2003 authorizing the repurchase of 3,000 shares. During the first three quarters of 2004, the Company repurchased 2,100 shares of common stock at $19.50 per share. There were no shares repurchased during 2003. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - ------------------------------- Our primary sources of liquidity are deposit balances, available-for-sale securities, principal and interest payments on loans and investment securities, Fed Fund lines, and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. At September 30, 2004, we held $15.0 million in available-for-sale securities. Deposits increased approximately $16.9 million during the first three quarters of 2004. We had $3.0 million in available federal funds lines and approximately $7.6 million in available borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank as of September 30, 2004. We can also enter into repurchase agreement transactions should the need for additional liquidity arise. At September 30, 2004, the Company had $300,000 in repurchase agreement balances outstanding. At September 30, 2004, the Company had capital of $9.1 million, or 7.4% of total assets as compared to $8.5 million, or 7.9% at December 31, 2003. Tennessee chartered banks that are insured by the FDIC are subject to minimum capital maintenance requirements. Regulatory guidelines define the minimum amount of qualifying capital an institution must maintain as a percentage of risk-weighted assets and average total assets. -19- ITEM 3 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES - ------ ----------------------- (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company's President and Chief Executive Officer and its Senior Vice President have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-14(c))as of September 30, 2004. Based on that evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Senior Vice President have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that material information relating to the Company and the Company's consolidated subsidiaries is made known to such officers by others within these entities, particularly during the period this quarterly report was prepared, in order to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. (b) Changes in Internal Controls. There have not been any significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation. -20- FORM 1O-QSB 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.
