Granahan McCourt Acquisition
Corporation
(A Development Stage
Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Note A - Organization and Business
Operations
Granahan
McCourt Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on
July 10, 2006 as a blank check company for the purpose of acquiring, or
acquiring control of, one or more assets or operating businesses in the
telecommunications and media industries through a merger, capital stock
exchange, asset or stock acquisition or other similar business
transaction. As of June 30, 2008, the Company had not commenced any
operations. All activity through June 30, 2008 relates to the Company's
formation, the sale of shares of common stock in a private placement, the
initial public offering (the “Offering”) described below, and efforts to
identify an acquisition target. The Company has selected December 31 as
its fiscal year end.
The
registration statement for the Company's initial public offering was declared
effective on October 18, 2006. The Company consummated the Offering of
11,250,000 Units (as defined in Note C) on October 24, 2006 for net proceeds of
approximately $83 million. On October 24, 2006, the Company consummated a
private placement of 4 million warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $4
million.
The
Company's management has broad discretion with respect to the specific
application of the net proceeds of the Offering and the private placement,
although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering and the private
placement are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a business
combination. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be
able to successfully effect a business combination. Upon the closing of
the private placement and the Offering, $88.65 million (including $3.6 million
of underwriters' fees which have been deferred by the underwriters as described
in Note C) was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and will continue
to be invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning
of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 having a maturity of
180 days or less, or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule
2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940 until the earlier of
(i) the consummation of the company’s first business combination in which the
fair market value of the assets or operating businesses acquired is at least 80%
of our net assets (excluding the amount held in the Trust Account
representing a portion of the underwriters' discount) at the time of the
acquisition and (ii) liquidation of the Company. The remaining proceeds
may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on
prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses.
The
Company, after signing a definitive agreement for the acquisition of a target
business, will submit such transaction for stockholder approval. In the
event that 20% or more of the outstanding stock (excluding, for this purpose,
those shares of common stock issued prior to the Offering) vote against the
business combination and exercise their conversion rights described below, the
business combination will not be consummated. Accordingly, public
stockholders holding 19.99% of the aggregate number of shares owned by all
public stockholders may seek conversion of their shares in the event of a
business combination. Such public stockholders are entitled to receive
their per-share interest in the Trust Account computed without regard to the
shares held by initial stockholders.
In the
event that the Company does not consummate a business combination within 18
months from the date of the consummation of the Offering (April 24, 2008), or 24
months from the consummation of the Offering (October 24, 2008) if certain
extension criteria have been satisfied, the proceeds held in the Trust Account
will be distributed to the Company's public stockholders, excluding the existing
stockholders to the extent of their initial stock holdings. In the event
of such distribution, the per share value of the residual assets remaining
available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) may be less than
the price per share in the Offering (assuming no value is attributed to the
Warrants contained in the Units sold in the Offering discussed in Note
C).
The
Company's Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for
liquidation of the Company in the event that the Company does not consummate a
business combination within 18 months after the date of the consummation of the
Offering (April 24, 2008), or within 24 months after the consummation of the
Offering (October 24, 2008) if certain extension criteria have been
satisfied. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. In the event of liquidation,
it is likely that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available
for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than
the price per share in the Offering (assuming no value is attributed to the
Warrants contained in the Units sold in the Offering discussed in Note
C).
On
April 24, 2008, we announced that we had met the condition under our Fourth
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that permits us until
October 24, 2008 to complete an appropriate acquisition meeting the
criteria set forth therein. We entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger (“Merger Agreement”), dated as of April 24, 2008, with Satellite Merger
Corp., a Georgia corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), Pro
Brand International, Inc., a Georgia corporation (“PBI”) and certain equity
holders of PBI (collectively, “Sellers”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement,
Merger Sub will be merged with and into PBI, with PBI continuing as the
surviving corporation and as our wholly-owned subsidiary.
Note B - Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies
Interim
Financial Statements
The
accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and should be
read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and
footnotes thereto for the period from inception (July 10, 2006) to December 31,
2007 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the
Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. The financial statements reflect all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of
management necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial
position, results of operations and cash flows. The operating results for
the six months from January 1, 2008 to June 30, 2008 are
not indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period
of any future year.
Cash and
Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all marketable debt securities with original maturities of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Use of
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Income
Taxes
Deferred
income taxes are provided for the differences between the bases of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes. A valuation
allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the
amount expected when realized.
Recently
Issued Accounting Standards
In June
2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes-an Interpretation of SFAS No. 109
” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the
accounting for uncertainty in tax positions recognized in a company's financial
statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “
Accounting for Income Taxes
”
FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the
financial statement recognition and measurement of the tax position taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company adopted FIN 48 effective
January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have any impact on the
accompanying financial statements since we have not identified any uncertain tax
positions as defined by FIN 48.
We
recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income
tax expense. The tax years 2007 and 2006 remain open to examination by the major
taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject.
Management
does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective,
accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the
accompanying financial statements.
Note C - Offering
In the
Offering, the Company sold to the public 11,250,000 units (“Units”). The
underwriters were paid fees equal to 3% of the gross proceeds of the Offering,
or $2,700,000, at the closing of the Offering and have agreed to defer an
additional $3,600,000 of their underwriting fees until the consummation of a
business combination. Upon the consummation of a business combination, the
Company will pay such deferred fees out of the proceeds of the Offering held in
the Trust Account. The underwriters will not be entitled to any interest
accrued on the deferred fees. The underwriters have agreed to forfeit any
rights to, or claims against, such proceeds if the Company does not successfully
complete a business combination.
Each Unit
consists of one share of the Company's common stock, $0.0001 par value, and one
redeemable common stock purchase warrant (each a “Warrant”). Each Warrant
will entitle the holder to purchase from the Company one share of common stock
at an exercise price of $6.00 commencing on the later of (a) the completion of a
business combination with a target business and (b) October 18, 2007. The
Warrants will expire on October 18, 2010. No Warrant may be exercised
unless, at the time of exercise, a post effective amendment to the registration
statement, or a new registration statement, is effective that includes a current
prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant
and the common stock underlying the Warrant has been registered, qualified or
deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the
holder of the Warrant. The Company is not required to net-cash settle any
Warrant if it is unable to maintain a current prospectus. The Warrants
will be redeemable at a price of $0.01 per Warrant upon 30 days notice after the
Warrants become exercisable, only in the event that the last sale price of the
common stock is at least $11.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30
trading day period ending three business days prior to the date on which notice
of redemption is given. The Company does not need the consent of the
underwriters in order to redeem the outstanding Warrants.
Mr. David
C. McCourt purchased from the Company in a private placement 4,000,000 Warrants,
at a purchase price of $1.00 per Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of
$4,000,000. The $4,000,000 proceeds from the private placement were placed
in the Trust Account and are part of the liquidating distribution to the public
stockholders in the event of a liquidation prior to a business
combination. The Warrants sold in the private placement can be exercised
on a cashless basis. The Warrants sold in the private placement have terms
and provisions that are otherwise identical to those of the Warrants being sold
in the Offering but the Warrants issued in connection with the private placement
will not be transferable by Mr. McCourt until after the consummation of the
initial business combination, except that Mr. McCourt is permitted to transfer
the Warrants sold in the private placement in certain limited circumstances,
such as by will in the event of his death or to other of the Company's officers
and directors. However, the transferees receiving such Warrants will be
subject to the same transfer restrictions imposed on Mr. McCourt. In the
event of liquidation prior to a business combination, the Warrants sold in
the private placement will be worthless.
Since the
underwriters' over-allotment option was not exercised, on January 16, 2007
the Company repurchased 421,875 shares of common stock from David C. McCourt,
the President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company, at a total
aggregate cost of $261.
Note D - Notes Payable to
Stockholder
On March
14, 2008, Mr. McCourt loaned $250,000 to the Company in exchange for a
demand note from the Company in such amount. The principal balance of
this note is payable on the earlier of (a) one business day following Mr.
McCourt's written demand for payment and (b) upon consummation of a business
combination. The demand note bears no interest and has no recourse against the
funds in the trust account.
On
May 5, 2008, David C. McCourt loaned the Company $500,000 in exchange for a
demand note from the Company in such amount. The principal
balance of this note is payable on the earlier of (a) one
business day following Mr. McCourt’s written demand for such payment,
(b) consummation of a business combination and (c) liquidation of the
trust fund pursuant to our fourth amended and restated certificate of
incorporation. The demand note bears no interest and has no recourse
against the funds in the trust account.
On
June 10, 2008, David C. McCourt loaned the Company $600,000 in exchange for
a demand note from the Company in such amount. The
principal balance of this note is payable on the earlier
of (a) one business day following Mr. McCourt’s written
demand for such payment, (b) consummation of a business combination and
(c) liquidation of the trust fund pursuant to our fourth amended and
restated certificate of incorporation. The demand note bears no
interest and has no recourse against the funds in the trust
account.
Note E -
Commitments
Pursuant
to an administrative services agreement, commencing on October 18, 2006, the
effective date of the registration statement for the Offering (See Note C),
through the earlier of the consummation of a business combination or the
liquidation of the Company, the Company pays a fee of $10,000 per month to an
affiliate of Mr. McCourt for certain administrative services, including office
space, utilities and secretarial support.
In
connection with the Offering, the Company has committed to pay a fee equal to 7%
of the gross Offering proceeds to the underwriters, of which 4% ($3,600,000) is
to be deferred until the consummation of an initial business
combination.
Note F - Common
Stock
On
October 24, 2006, the Company affected a 0.72 to 1 reverse stock split of its
common stock. Following this reverse stock split, and prior to the
Offering, there were 3,234,375 shares of common stock outstanding. All
references in the accompanying financial statements to the number of shares of
common stock and loss per share have been retroactively restated to reflect the
reverse stock split.
Note G - Preferred
Stock
The
Company is authorized to issue 5,000 shares of blank check preferred stock with
such designation, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined
from time to time by the Board of Directors.
Item 2. Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We have based these
forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about
future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown
risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results,
levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from
any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or
implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify
forward-looking statements by terminology such as “
may
,” “
should
,” “
could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,”
“anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue
,” or the negative of such
terms or other similar expressions. Factors that might cause or contribute to
such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other
Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
We were
formed on July 10, 2006 for the purpose of acquiring, or acquiring control of,
one or more assets or operating businesses in the telecommunications and media
industries through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset or stock acquisition
or other similar business combination. Our initial business combination must be
with a business or businesses whose collective fair market value is at least
equal to 80% of our net assets (excluding the amount held in the trust account
representing a portion of the underwriters' discount) at the time of the
acquisition.
On
October 24, 2006, we consummated our initial public offering of 11,250,000
Units. Each Unit consists of one share of our common stock, par value $0.0001
per share, and one warrant entitling the holder to purchase one share of our
common stock at a price of $6.00. The public offering price of each Unit was
$8.00, and we generated gross proceeds of $90,000,000 in the initial public
offering. Of the gross proceeds: (i) we deposited $88,650,000 into a trust
account at Lehman Brothers Inc., maintained by Continental Stock Transfer &
Trust Company, as trustee, which included $3,600,000 of contingent underwriting
discount and $4,000,000 that we received from the issuance and sale of 4,000,000
warrants to David C. McCourt, our President, Chief Executive Officer and
Chairman of the Board, on October 18, 2006 in a private placement; (ii) the
underwriters received $2,700,000 as underwriting discount (excluding the
contingent underwriting discount); and (iii) we retained $550,000 for offering
expenses.
The
proceeds deposited in the trust account will not be released from the trust
account until the earlier of the completion of a business combination or the
expiration of the time period during which we may complete a business
combination. The proceeds held in the trust account (other than the contingent
underwriting discount) may be used as consideration to pay the sellers of a
target business with which we complete a business combination. To the extent
that our capital stock is used in whole or in part as consideration to effect a
business combination, the proceeds held in the trust account (other than the
contingent underwriting discount) will be used to finance the operations of the
target business.
On
April 24, 2008, we announced that we had met the condition under our Fourth
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that permits us until
October 24, 2008 to complete an appropriate acquisition meeting the
criteria set forth therein. On April 24, 2008, we entered into the
Merger Agreement with the Merger Sub, PBI and the Sellers. Pursuant
to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into PBI, with PBI
continuing as the surviving corporation and as our wholly-owned
subsidiary.
Pursuant
to the merger agreement, the aggregate consideration to be paid by us at closing
would be $75 million, consisting of shares of our common stock with an aggregate
value of $20 million and $55 million in cash in immediately available funds.
However, shares with an aggregate value of $3 million and $8.25 million in cash
will be placed into escrow to satisfy any indemnification claims that may be
asserted by us. In addition, if PBI attains certain annual
performance targets, through the end of 2010 (specifically, attaining certain
levels of adjusted earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and
amortization in each annual period until the end of 2010), we will pay an annual
earnout beginning in 2009 to the holders of PBI common stock and
options. The adoption of the merger agreement and the transactions
contemplated by the merger agreement are subject to customary closing conditions
as well as the approval of the holders of our common stock.
We cannot
assure you that we will be able to consummate a business combination with PBI on
or prior to October 24, 2008. If we are not able to consummate a business
combination by then, we will be required to liquidate.
Recent
Developments
On May
12, 2008, we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration
statement on Form S-4, including a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, in
connection with the registration of shares of the Company’s common stock and the
solicitation by the Company of proxies from holders of our common stock relating
to a special meeting of the Company’s shareholders to approve, among other
things, the Merger Agreement and related transactions.
On
June 10, 2008, David C. McCourt loaned to us $600,000 in exchange for a
demand note from us in such amount. The principal balance of this
note is payable on the earlier of (a) one business day following
Mr. McCourt’s written demand for such payment, (b) consummation of a
business combination and (c) liquidation of the trust fund pursuant to our
fourth amended and restated certificate of incorporation. The demand
note bears no interest and has no recourse against the funds in the trust
account.
Results of
Operations
Income,
before income taxes, for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was $302,835 and
consisted of interest income of $446,187 earned predominantly on the trust
account, offset by an aggregate of $143,352 in expenses, which consist of
$36,828 for director and officer insurance and other insurance, $19,415 for
registration and filing fees, $(56,184) for legal and accounting fees, $41,250
for Delaware franchise taxes, $30,000 for administrative services expense
paid to Granahan McCourt Capital, LLC for our office space and other general and
administrative services, $68,785 for travel expenses, consulting fees and other
expenses incurred in connection with due diligence investigations of potential
acquisition targets and $3,258 for other expenses.
Loss,
before income taxes, for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $265,093 and
consisted of interest income of $1,050,268 earned predominantly on the trust
account, offset by an aggregate of $1,315,361 in expenses, which consist of
$74,536 for director and officer insurance and other insurance, $27,257 for
registration and filing fees, $892,681 for legal and accounting fees, $82,500
for Delaware franchise taxes, $59,817 for administrative services expense
paid to Granahan McCourt Capital, LLC for our office space and other general and
administrative services, $171,755 for travel expenses, consulting fees and other
expenses incurred in connection with due diligence investigations of potential
acquisition targets and $6,815 for other expenses.
Income,
before income taxes, for the period since inception on July 10, 2006 until June
30, 2008 was $1,514,032 and consisted of interest income of $4,823,143 earned
predominantly on the trust account, offset by an aggregate of $3,309,111 in
expenses, which consist of $256,964 for director and officer insurance and other
insurance, $62,579 for registration and filing fees, $1,803,788 for legal and
accounting fees, $323,159 for Delaware franchise taxes, $204,333 paid to
Granahan McCourt Capital, LLC, for our office space and other general and
administrative services, $606,948 for travel expenses, consulting fees and other
expenses incurred in connection with due diligence investigations of potential
acquisition targets and $51,340 for other expenses. The net remaining
proceeds from the initial public offering after deducting the underwriting
discounts and commissions (excluding the contingent underwriting discount), the
offering expenses and all other income and expenditures through June 30, 2008
were $93,276,453, which consist of $132,197 of cash held outside the trust
account and $93,144,256 held in the trust account, including accrued
interest.
On May 5,
2008 and June 10, 2008, Davie C. McCourt loaned to us $500,000 and $600,000
respectively, in each case in return for a demand note from us in such
amount. See Note D to our financials contained herein.
We
believe that the working capital available to us, in addition to the funds
available to us outside of the trust account, will be sufficient to allow us to
operate through October, 2008, or until a business combination is consummated.
We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds during this time in
order to meet the expenditures required to meet our operating expenses. However,
we may issue additional capital stock, debt or a combination of capital stock
and debt to complete one or more business combinations.
Critical Accounting
Policies
The
preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with
general accepting accounting principles in the United States requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the periods reported.
Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have determined
that we currently are not subject to any critical accounting
policies.
Recently Issued Accounting
Standards
In June
2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes-an Interpretation of SFAS No. 109
” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the
accounting for uncertainty in tax positions recognized in a company's financial
statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “
Accounting for Income Taxes
,”
and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the
financial statement recognition and measurement of the tax position taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company adopted FIN 48 effective
January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have any impact on the
accompanying financial statements since we have not identified any uncertain tax
positions as defined by FIN 48.
We
recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income
tax expense. The tax years 2007 and 2006 remain open to examination by the major
taxing jurisdiction to which we are subject.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS
157”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS
157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair
value measurements. The new guidance is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and for
interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS No.
157 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial
position and results of operations.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No.159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities” which permits entities to choose to measure
many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not
currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective for the
first quarter of 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact
of SFAS 159.
In
December of 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) "Business
Combinations" (“SFAS 141 (R)”). SFAS 141 (R) retains the fundamental
requirements of the original pronouncement requiring that the purchase method be
used for all business combinations, but also provides revised guidance for
recognizing and measuring identifiable assets and goodwill acquired, liabilities
assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquired. It also
requires the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from
contingencies, the capitalization of in-process research and development at fair
market value, and the expensing of acquisition-related costs as
incurred. SFAS 141(R) is effective for the fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2008. The Company is not currently able to
estimate the impact of the adoption of SFAS 141(R) on the results of operations
if the Company completes acquisition subsequent to its adoption.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB No. 51” (“FAS
160”). SFAS 160 requires ownership interests in subsidiaries held by
parties other than the parent, and the amount of consolidated net income, be
clearly identified, labeled and presented in the consolidated financial
statements. It also requires once a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained
non-controlling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured
at fair value. Sufficient disclosures are required to clearly
identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interest of
the non-controlling owners. It is effective for the fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2008, and requires retroactive adoption of the
presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority
interests. All other requirements are applied
prospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS to
have a material impact on its financial condition or results of
operations.
Management
does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective,
accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the
accompanying financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and
Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
To date,
our efforts have been limited to organizational activities and activities
relating to our initial public offering and the identification of a target
business. We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues.
As the proceeds from our initial public offering held in the trust account have
been invested in short term investments, our primary market risk exposure
relates to fluctuations in interest.
As of
June 30, 2008, $93,023,040 of the net proceeds of our initial public offering
and private placement was held in the trust account for the purposes of
consummating a business combination. Continental Stock Transfer &
Trust Company, the trustee, has invested the money held in the trust account at
JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA, in the Lehman Brothers Tax Free Money Market Fund which
invests in securities exempt from federal income taxes. As of June 30,
2008, the effective, annualized, federal tax-free interest rate payable on our
investment was 1.68%.
We have
not engaged in any hedging activities since our inception on July 10, 2006. We
do not expect to engage in any hedging activities with respect to the market
risk to which we are exposed.
Item 4. Controls and
Procedures
Our
management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief
Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2008. Based upon that
evaluation, these officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures
were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in
reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
“Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time
periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
There has
not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting in
connection with the evaluation required by Rule13a-15(d) under the Exchange Act
that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2008 that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.
