EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Chase Packaging Corporation (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 to its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2008 (the “Original Filing”) to amend and restate in its entirety Item 8A of the Original Filing, entitled “Controls and Procedures.”  No other changes are being made to the Original Filing.

ITEM 8A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.

 

(b) Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.

 

In connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, there was no change identified in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and the Company’s vice president, 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.

 

Our evaluation of internal control over financial reporting includes using the COSO framework, an integrated framework for the evaluation of internal controls issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, to identify the risks and control objectives related to the evaluation of our control environment.  As a development stage company with no revenues and limited operations, we have only one employee who performs all of the financial and bookkeeping activities.  However, the Company overcomes this deficiency by using an alternative control of having the financial and bookkeeping activities of this single employee overseen by the Company’s principal executive officer and/or the Company’s vice president.

 

Even if it were to be determined that the alternative control referred to in the preceding paragraph was not fully effective to overcome such deficiency, management is confident in its conclusion that such matter does not rise to the level of a “material weakness” which is defined by the SEC as “a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the registrant’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.”  Especially in view of the fact that the primary activities of this sole employee consist only of writing approximately five to ten checks each month on the Company’s bank account and making this information available for purposes of preparation of financial statements and SEC reports, the oversight of this sole employee’s limited activities by senior officers is deemed effective in preventing any material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements.

 

Our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2007.

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 SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
