ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures
that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by
MachineTalker is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time
periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer is
responsible for establishing and maintaining controls and procedures for the
Company.
Management has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure
controls and procedures as of December 31, 2008 (under the supervision and with
the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer) pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended. As part of such evaluation, management considered the matters
discussed below relating to internal control over financial reporting. Based on
this evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer has concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not
effective as of December 31, 2008 because the Company was late in making the
filing of its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31,
2008.
The term "internal control over financial reporting" is defined as a
process designed by, or under the supervision of, the registrant's principal
executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar
functions, and effected by the registrant's board of directors, management and
other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and
includes those policies and procedures that:
o pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the
assets of the registrant;
o provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the registrant are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and directors of the registrant; and
o provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection
of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the registrant's
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
MANAGEMENT'S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The Company's management is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, (as defined in
Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). The Company's
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.
Furthermore, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods
are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to change in
conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an
evaluation of the effectiveness of its control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2008. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set
-2-
forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
("COSO") in internal control-integrated framework. Based on this evaluation, the
Company's Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer has
concluded that the internal control over financial reporting is effective.
AUDITOR'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the
Company's 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 CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over
financial reporting that occurred during the Company's fiscal year that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company's internal control over financial reporting. Prior to the fourth
quarter, MachineTalker completed procedures to achieve Sarbanes-Oxley 404
compliance, which were tested during and since the fourth quarter.
INHERENT LIMITATIONS ON EFFECTIVENESS OF CONTROLS
The Company's management does not expect that its disclosure controls
or its internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all
error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated,
can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's
objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact
that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be
considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations
in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance
that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control
issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision
making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or
mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some
persons, by collusion of two or more people, or management override of the
controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain
assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance
that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential
future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to
future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance
with policies or procedures.
