FIRST AMERICAN SCIENTIFIC CORP. 
Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
September 30, 2008 
 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

First American Scientific Corp. (hereinafter “the Company” or “FASC”) was incorporated in April 1995 under the laws of the State of Nevada primarily for the purpose of manufacturing and operating equipment referred to as the KDS Micronex System. This patented process has the capability of reducing industrial material such as limestone, gypsum, zeolite, wood chips, bio-waste, rubber and ore containing precious metals to a fine talcum-like powder. The process can significantly increase the end value of the host material. The Company maintains an office in Delta, British Columbia, Canada and a demonstration and sales site in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada. The Company’s year-end is June 30th.

The foregoing unaudited interim financial statements of First American Scientific Corp. (hereinafter “FASC” or “the Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-K as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10K for the year ended June 30, 2008 which was filed with the SEC on November 4, 2008. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions and could have a material effect on the reported amounts of the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Operating results for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2009.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This summary of significant accounting policies of FASC is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Use of Estimates
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.

Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of its liabilities in the normal course of operations.

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of $ 13,966,763 through September 30, 2008 and has limited cash resources. The Company had no revenue during the quarter ended September 30, 2008 and generated a net loss for the quarter of $186,150. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to substantially increase sales through current channels and develop new sales opportunities. Management has also established plans designed to increase the sales of the Company’s products by continued research and development and combining technology and sales resources with its joint venture partners and with its Licensees.

Management plans include seeking new capital from new equity securities offerings which may, if successful, provide funds needed to increase liquidity, fund internal growth and fully implement its business plan. However, there is no assurance that the Company will raise the required capital and there are insufficient shares available in treasury that can be issued in order to do so. Management is considering polling its shareholders to authorize an amendment to its authorized capital increase, but if the Company is unable to raise the required capital, then it will be facing a serious impediment to its future business viability.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (hereinafter “SFAS No. 144”).SFAS No. 144 replaces SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed of.”This standard establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, including discontinued operations. SFAS No. 144 requires that these long-lived assets be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or discontinued operations. This statement is effective beginning for fiscal years after December 15, 2001.

FIRST AMERICAN SCIENTIFIC CORP. 
Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
September 30, 2008 
 

In complying with this standard, the Company reviews its long-lived assets annually to determine if any events or changes in circumstances have transpired which indicate that the carrying value of its assets may not be recoverable. The Company determines impairment by comparing the present value of future cash flows estimated to be generated by its assets to their respective carrying amounts. As of September 30, 2008, no impairments were deemed necessary.

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

FASC consolidates its financial statements with First American Scientific (Canada) Ltd as it is wholly owned and controlled by FASC.

In the year ended June 30, 2008 the Company changed its method of accounting for its investment in the Malaysian joint venture to the equity method. Consequently, the carrying value of the asset has been reduced by its share of the accumulated losses incurred to date. This value will be updated annually.

Revenue and Cost Recognition
Revenues is recognized when there is a sales contract, all terms of the contract have been completed, collectibility is reasonably assured and the products are shipped. During the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded no revenue.

Cost of Sales include applicable direct material and labor costs and related indirect costs. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability may result in revisions to product costs, which are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

Customer Deposits
The Company generally requires its customers to pay a 50 % deposit on all orders prior to the commencement of fabrication. These monies are reported as a current liability until the order is complete and the equipment is delivered at which time it is booked as revenue. Generally, deposits received are non-refundable. As at September 30, 2008, the Company held deposits totaling $385,963 on three sales.

Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts in the accompanying financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2009 presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2008, FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (“FSP APB 14-1”). FSP APB 14-1 clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon either mandatory or optional conversion (including partial cash settlement) are not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No.14, “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants.”

FIRST AMERICAN SCIENTIFIC CORP.

Additionally, FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will adopt FSP APB 14-1 beginning in the first quarter of 2009, and this standard must be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 will have on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

On May 8, 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which will provide framework for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for nongovernmental entities. With the issuance of SFAS No. 162, the GAAP hierarchy for nongovernmental entities will move from auditing literature to accounting literature. The Company does not expect SFAS 162 to have a material impact on the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

SFAS No 161
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 (SFAS 161), Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, which requires enhanced disclosures about an entity's derivative and hedging activities and improves the transparency of financial reporting. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. This Statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. . Management has not determined the effect that adopting this statement would have on the Company’s financial condition or results of operation.

NOTE 3 – COMMON STOCK

During the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Company issued 100,000 shares of restricted common stock for website development valued at $ 3,000. The stock is subject to a six month hold period before it can be sold.

NOTE 4 – STOCK OPTIONS

The Company’s board of directors approved the First American Scientific Corp. 2006 Non-qualified Stock Option Plan. This plan allows the Company to distribute up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock options at a maximum share price of $0.04 to persons employed or associated with the Company. This plan was not approved by the Company’s security holders.

No new options were granted during the three months ended September 30, 2008.

NOTE 5 – RELATED PARTIES

At September 30, 2008, the Company owed its senior executives and its directors a total of $ 825,000 for unpaid accrued salary and $ 122,885 for short term loans made to the Company compared to June 30, 2008 when it owed a total of $ 750,000 for unpaid accrued salary and $ 58,910 for short term loans.

ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We were incorporated April 12, 1995 as a development stage company. We are the owner of the KDS disintegration technology which is patented in the USA, Canada, UK, Europe, Mexico, Australia, and New Zealand. In addition to the core patent, new patents for two new applications, one for the cryogenic freezing and shattering scrap rubber and one for separation of precious metals from mineral rock using our equipment have been granted. One other patent application for drying and recovery of fuel and clay from biomass has been submitted and is pending status. Further new registrations have been submitted in Japan, Malaysia and Korea. We have now reached commercial viability for several of our applications and have entered our marketing phase. To date, we have sold systems in Canada, the United States, Poland, Malaysia, South Korea, Japan, Mexico and the UK.

On September 30, 2008 we had current assets of $212,437 and current liabilities of $602,173 (excluding management salaries) compared to the previous year on September 30, 2007 when we had $271,755 in current assets and $587,003 in current liabilities. Our working capital ratio on September 30, 2008 is still negative for the second year in a row. The Company no long term debt other than amounts due to its Officers and Directors. The continued decline in working capital is putting strain on the Company’s ability to progress. We are currently talking to several different groups of private investors who have expressed interest to help raise some much needed capital.

Accounting issues

Management believes that the carrying value of its technology licenses, patents and manufacturing rights are fairly stated at cost less amortization based upon the estimated present value of cash flows and the Company’s projections to sell at least two machines each year through 2009. The Company exceeded this target in fiscal year 2007 and in 2008 and based on existing orders, will exceed the target in 2009. Revenue is booked when the equipment is delivered.

The company requires its customers to pay a 50 % deposit on all orders prior to the commencement of fabrication. These monies are reported as a current liability until the order complete and the equipment is delivered at which time it is booked as revenue. Generally, deposits received are non-refundable. As at September 30, 2008, the Company held deposits on three sales.

Our auditors have issued a going concern statement because we do not have sufficient cash flow for us to maintain our operation for the next year. Consequently, our management will have to seek additional capital from new equity securities offerings, loans, or other fund raising activities to maintain our operation should new sales and receipt of receivables not materialize.

In the year ended June 30, 2008 the Company changed its method of accounting for its investment in the Malaysian joint venture to the equity method. Consequently, the carrying value of the asset has been reduced by its share of the accumulated losses incurred to date. This value will be updated annually.

As of September 30, 2008 there were 199,952,195 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.

Results of Operations – Quarter ending September 30, 2008

Revenue from equipment sales for the quarters ending September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007 was nil. Revenue from expense reimbursement was zero for the quarter ending September 30, 2008 and $4,918 for the quarter ending September 30, 2007.

Net losses for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 were $186,150 compared to a loss of $87,183 for the same period last year. The Company’s auditors have issued a going concern caution meaning we will need to increase sales or raise outside capital in under to continue operating at current levels.

The company anticipates future revenue to come from equipment sales, as well as its share in future profits from joint ventures, and by earning royalties and license fees.. With the current orders in process, we will book 2 sales in the first part of fiscal year 2009 totaling approximately $500,000 USD, with a third to follow later in the year. These sales will be booked when the equipment is delivered as per our revenue recognition policy.

PROJECT UPDATE

Japan - JP Steelplantech Co. License Agreement

On September 26, 2005, the Company signed an exclusive license agreement for manufacturing and marketing the KDS System in Japan with JP Steelplantech Company of Yokohama, Japan. As part of the agreement JP Steel has paid an up front licensing fee and purchased and installed a fully operational KDS at its facility in Yokohama to be used for sales demonstrations and research purposes. Under the agreement, FASC will receive a royalty for each manufactured and machine sold in Japan. Marketing efforts are now underway, and one sale is booked with another pending.

Korea - License Agreement

The license agreement with JNK Heaters Co. Ltd. was cancelled in April 2008 due to non-performance. We have completed negotiations with a new a new group who are now performing their due diligence. The agreements are expected to be formalized next quarter.

In June we signed an exclusive marketing agreement with a group in Mexico. One condition was that they purchase a demonstration machine (at wholesale price) and adapt it to the local market and conditions. The machine has been delivered and is operational.

The initial runs have all been successful, and the customer is now developing a unique food product which it advises it will launch later this calendar year. The balance of the payment of $47,500 is due in November 2008.

Canada - Alternative Green Energy Systems Inc.

This license was cancelled in September 2008 for non-performance. We repossessed the test machine in AGES possession and returned it to our shop for evaluation and reconditioning. The cost of its recovery was approximately $16,000 which has been recorded as used equipment inventory. Once reconditioned, it will be offered for sale.

Other material contracts:

Canada - City of Prince George, BC

FASC has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the City of Prince George, BC, Canada to assist them at their Waste Water Treament Plant in solving their environmental cleanup process of sewage sludge using the KDS Micronex System. This will be the first operation of its kind in the worls where strictly regulated Class B municipal sludge can be cleaned, bagged, and profitably sold to the public as a soil amendment. The initial runs are being monitored and evaluated by the University of BC, and if acceptable, the City will establish a permanent facility utilizing up to four KDS machines. To date all trial runs have been satisfactory, and after making many modifications, we have reached the Phase I goal of “proof of concept“ as reported by Dayton & Knight P.Eng.’s the City’s project engineers.

Phase Two is underway at our Abbotsford site where some design changes and modifications are being made to handle the much wetter municipal sewage sludge.

Results will be announced as they materialize.

Continuing Research and Development

We continue to focus on improving the KDS equipment’s processing capacity and improve efficiencies for several different applications. We have determined that processing of softer materials such as biomass and pulp sludge currently represent the highest and best use for our technology and the most probable to generate sales. A fully equipped demonstration facility is set up in Abbotsford, Canada, to perfect the sludge application and improve the KDS machine drying capabilities. Progress will be announced as it materializes. Presently, due to cash flow limitations, new research is moving ahead slowly as funds become available.

Inflation

Inflation has not been a factor effecting current operations, and is not expected to have any material effect on operations in the near future.

Foreign Operations

We rent office space in West Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada which serves as an administrative office and rent a sales office in Delta, British Columbia, and our demonstration facility is nearby in Abbotsford, British Columbia.

Foreign exchange exposure

The Company uses the US dollar as its primary currency and books all our international contracts in US dollars, except for sales to Canadian customers which are booked in Canadian dollars.

The majority of our operational expenses, including fabrication costs, are incurred in Canadian dollars. Recent strengthening of the US dollar vs. the Canadian has given us a foreign exchange gain on our Canadian dollar liabilities and a loss on our Canadian assets.

We attempt to, whenever practical, meet our Canadian obligations with our Canadian dollars, and meet our US obligations with our US dollars which we hold in separate accounts. This minimizes our exposure to currency fluctuations.

Trends

Sales efforts are beginning to bring results with two sales expected to be booked next quarter and a third later this year. Based upon recent sales and current prospects, we anticipate revenue for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009 to be in a range of $800,000 to $1,250,000.

Critical Accounting Policies

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (hereinafter “SFAS No. 144”). SFAS No. 144 replaces SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed of.” This standard establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, including discontinued operations. SFAS No. 144 requires that these long-lived assets be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or discontinued operations. This statement is effective beginning for fiscal years after December 15, 2001.

In complying with this standard, the Company reviews its long-lived assets quarterly to determine if any events or changes in circumstances have transpired which indicate that the carrying value of its assets may not be recoverable. The Company determines impairment by comparing the present value of future cash flows estimated to be generated by its assets to their respective carrying amounts. As of September 30, 2008, no impairments were deemed necessary.

Revenue and Cost Recognition

Revenues from the sale of KDS machines are recognized when there is a sales contract, all terms of the contract have been completed, collectibility is reasonably assured and the products are shipped. During the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded no revenue.

KDS machine costs include applicable direct material and labor costs and related indirect costs. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability may result in revisions to product costs, which are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

FASC consolidates its financial statements with First American Scientific (Canada) Ltd as it is wholly owned and controlled by FASC.

In the year ended June 30, 2008 the Company changed its method of accounting for its investment in the Malaysian joint venture to the equity method. Consequently, the carrying value of the asset has been reduced by its share of the accumulated losses incurred to date. This value will be updated annually.

ITEM 3.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

     We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.

ITEM 4.     CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Quarterly evaluation of our disclosure controls and internal controls

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

In connection with the preparation of this Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out by the Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act)). Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on such evaluation, and in light of the previously identified material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, as of June 30, 2008, relating to the lack of appropriate independent oversight and the lack of necessary technical accounting resources described in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the d fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2008, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective.

(b) Changes to Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2008, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

CEO and CFO certifications

Appearing immediately following the signatures section of this report there are two separate forms of "Certifications" of the CEO and the CFO. The first form of Certification is required in accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Section 302 Certification). This section of the report which you are currently reading is the information concerning the Controls Evaluation referred to in the Section 302 Certifications.

Disclosure controls and internal controls

Disclosure Controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), such as this quarterly report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) rules and forms. Disclosure Controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Internal Controls are procedures which are designed with the objective of providing reasonable assurance that (1) our transactions are properly authorized; (2) our assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use; and (3) our transactions are properly recorded and reported, all to permit the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of controls

Our management, including our CEO and CFO, confirm that the control systems are at the "reasonable assurance" level, however, management does not expect that our Disclosure Controls or our Internal Controls will prevent all error and all fraud as a control system. No matter how well conceived and operated, they cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, 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. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our 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. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon 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. However, upon discovery that the controls have become inadequate, they will be changed.

Scope of the Controls Evaluation

Our CEO/CFO evaluation of our Disclosure Controls and our Internal Controls included a review of the controls' objectives and design, the controls' implementation by us and the effect of the controls on the information generated for use in this quarterly report. In the course of the Controls Evaluation, we sought to identify data errors, controls problems or acts of fraud and to confirm that appropriate corrective action, including process improvements, were being undertaken. This type of evaluation will be done on a quarterly basis so that the conclusions concerning controls effectiveness can be reported in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K. The overall goals of these various evaluation activities are to monitor our Disclosure Controls and our Internal Controls and to make modifications as necessary; our intent in this regard is that the Disclosure Controls and the Internal Controls will be maintained as dynamic systems that change (including with improvements and corrections) as conditions warrant.

Among other matters, we sought in our evaluation to determine whether there were any "significant deficiencies" or "material weaknesses" in our Internal Controls, or whether we had identified any acts of fraud involving personnel who have a significant role in our Internal Controls. This information was important both for the Controls Evaluation generally and because items 5 and 6 in the Section 302 Certifications of the CEO and CFO require that the CEO and CFO disclose that information to our Board of Directors Audit Committee and to our independent auditors and to report on related matters in this section of the quarterly report. In the professional auditing literature, "significant deficiencies" are referred to as "reportable conditions"; these are control issues that could have a significant adverse effect on the ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data in the financial statements. A "material weakness" is defined in the auditing literature as a particularly serious reportable condition where the internal control does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements caused by error or fraud may occur in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. We also sought to deal with other controls matters in the Controls Evaluation, and in each case if a problem was identified, we considered what revision, improvement and/or correction to make in accord with our on-going procedures. In accord with SEC requirements, our CEO and CFO note that, since the date of the Controls Evaluation to the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no significant changes in Internal Controls or in other factors that could significantly affect Internal Controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

Conclusions

Based upon the Controls Evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, our disclosure controls are effective to ensure that material information relating to us and our subsidiary is made known to management, including our CEO and CFO, particularly during the period when our periodic reports are being prepared. Our internal controls are effective to provide reasonable assurance that our financial statements are fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
