NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The preferred stock category has one issue that is showing a loss. The issuer is the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac). The impairment is the result of interest rate market conditions and there is a high probability of full recovery of investment. The fixed income nature of this investment causes significant movement in value in relation to the fixed income market. However, there is no change in the dividend stream or credit quality of the issue as a result.

7. Trust Preferred Capital Notes:

During the first quarter of 2004, VFG Limited Liability Trust, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was formed for the purpose of issuing redeemable Capital Securities (commonly referred to as Trust Preferred Capital Notes). On March 18, 2004, $20 million of Trust Preferred Capital Notes were issued through a private transaction. The Trust issued $619 thousand in common equity to the Company. The securities have a LIBOR-indexed floating rate of interest which adjusts, and is payable, quarterly. The interest rate at March 31, 2006 was 7.26%. The securities may be redeemed at par beginning in June, 2009 and each quarterly anniversary of such date until the securities mature on June 17, 2034. The principal asset of the Trust is $20.6 million of the Company’s junior subordinated debt securities with like maturities and like interest rates to the Capital Securities.

The Trust Preferred Capital Notes may be included in Tier I capital for regulatory capital adequacy determination purposes up to 25% of Tier I capital after its inclusion. The portion of the Trust Preferred not considered as Tier I capital may be included in Tier II capital. All of VFG’s trust preferred capital notes are included in Tier 1 capital.

The obligations of the Company with respect to the issuance of the capital securities constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the Trust’s obligations with respect to the capital securities.

Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, the Company may elect from time to time to defer interest payments on the junior subordinated debt securities, which would result in a deferral of distribution payments on the related capital securities.

 

8. Other Borrowings:

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase, which are classified as secured borrowings, generally mature within one to four days from the transaction date. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are reflected at the amount of cash received in connection with the transaction.

The Company has an unused line of credit agreement with a correspondent bank for general working capital needs. The $15 million line is unsecured, calls for variable interest payments and is payable on demand. There were no balances outstanding at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

One of the Company’s affiliates has an agreement with the Federal Reserve where it can borrow funds deposited by its customers. This agreement calls for variable interest and is payable on demand. U. S. Government securities and U. S. Treasury notes are pledged as collateral. The targeted threshold maximum amount available under this agreement is $7.0 million.

In 2005 the Company initiated a commercial paper program whereby customers of the affiliate banks can invest in unrated commercial paper of VFG. Terms include a daily maturity and floating rate of interest. The balance outstanding was $42.4 million and $24.5 million at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

The average balance of other borrowings did not exceed 30 percent of stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2006 or the year ended December 31, 2005.

10. Stock-Based Compensation:

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments, such as stock options and restricted stock based on the fair value of those awards at the date of grant and eliminates the choice to account for employee stock options under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB 25). The Company adopted SFAS 123R effective January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method and as such, results for prior periods have not been restated. Prior to January 1, 2006, the value of restricted stock awards was expensed by the Company over the restriction period, and no compensation expense was recognized for stock option grants as all such grants had an exercise price not less than fair market value on the date of grant.

SFAS 123R also requires that new awards to employees eligible for retirement prior to the award becoming fully vested be recognized as compensation cost over the period through the date that the employee first becomes eligible to retire and is no longer required to provide service to earn the award. The Company had no such awards granted during the period.

Included within compensation and employee benefits expense for the three months ended March 31, 2006 is $48 thousand of stock-based compensation. As a result of adopting SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006, incremental stock-based compensation expense recognized was $30 thousand ($20 thousand after tax), which had no impact on basic and diluted earnings per share.

The following illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value method of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS 123), prior to January 1, 2006.

Stock option compensation expense is the estimated fair value of options granted amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award. The weighted average estimated fair value of stock options granted in the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 was $14.43 and none, respectively. Fair value is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: option term until exercise ranging from 4 to 5 years, volatility ranging from 22% to 27%, risk-free interest rate ranging from 4.7% to 5.1% and an expected dividend yield of 2.2%.

During 2006, the Company took into consideration guidance under SFAS 123R and SEC Staff Accounting

Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) when reviewing and updating assumptions.

The total value of in-the-money options exercised during the first three months ended March 31, 2006 was $44 thousand.

As of March 31, 2006, there was $668 thousand and $885 thousand of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested restricted stock awards and options, respectively, which will be recognized over the remaining requisite service period.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company presented the benefit of all tax deductions resulting from the exercise of stock options and restricted stock awards as operating cash flows in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. SFAS 123R requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of grant-date fair value be reported as financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow. Cash proceeds received from options exercised for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 were $35 thousand and none, respectively.

11. Employee Benefit Plan:

The Company has a noncontributory pension plan which conforms to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The amount of benefits payable under the plan is determined by an employee’s period of credited service. The amount of normal retirement benefit will be determined based on a Pension Equity Credit formula. The employee receives credits based on their age and years of service. The plan provides for early retirement for participants with five years of service and the attainment of age 55. The benefits are payable in single or joint/survivor annuities as well as a lump sum payment upon retirement or separation of service. The Company froze participation in this plan during 2003, and has approximately one hundred twenty-six participants remaining in the plan. The components of net periodic benefit cost are as follows:

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS

OF OPERATIONS

Critical Accounting Policies

General

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The financial information contained within our statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained either when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. We use historical loss factors as one factor in determining the inherent loss that may be present in our loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly from the historical factors that we use. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another method. Although the economics of our transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact our transactions could change.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The Company’s affiliate Banks conduct an analysis of the loan portfolio on a regular basis. This analysis is used in assessing the sufficiency of the allowance for loan losses and in the determination of the necessary provision for loan losses. The review process generally begins with lenders identifying problem loans to be reviewed on an individual basis for impairment. When a loan has been identified as impaired, a specific reserve may be established based on management’s calculation of the loss embedded in the individual loan. In addition to impairment testing, the Banks have an eight point grading system for each non-homogeneous loan in the portfolio. Loans meeting the criteria for impairment are segregated for analysis from performing loans within the portfolio. Loans are then grouped by loan type and, in the case of commercial and construction loans, by risk rating. Each loan type is assigned an allowance factor based on historical loss experience, economic conditions, and overall portfolio quality including delinquency rates. The total of specific reserves required for impaired classified loans and the calculated reserves by loan category are then compared to the recorded allowance for loan losses. This is the methodology used to determine the sufficiency of the allowance for loan losses and the amount of the provision for loan losses. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Larger groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS

OF OPERATIONS

Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are subject to a restructuring agreement.

Goodwill

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”), effective January 1, 2002. Accordingly, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization over its estimated useful life, but is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair value based test. Additionally, under SFAS 142, acquired intangible assets (such as core deposit intangibles) are separately recognized if the benefit of the asset can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged, and amortized over their useful life. Branch acquisition transactions were outside the scope of SFAS 142 and, accordingly, intangible assets related to such transactions continued to amortize upon the adoption of SFAS 142. The cost of purchased deposit relationships and other intangible assets, based on independent valuation, are being amortized over their estimated lives not to exceed fifteen years. Amortization expense charged to operations was $100 thousand and $168 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This report refers to the efficiency ratio, which is computed by dividing noninterest expense (excluding foreclosed property expense) by the sum of net interest income on a tax equivalent basis and noninterest income (excluding gain (loss) of sale of securities). This is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe provides investors with important information regarding our operational efficiency. Such information is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be construed as such. Management believes such financial information is meaningful to the reader in understanding operating performance, but cautions that such information not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP. VFG, in referring to its net income, is referring to income under generally accepted accounting principles, or “GAAP”.

Results of Operations

VFG’s consolidated net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 amounted to $4.5 million or $.62 per diluted share, compared to earnings of $4.0 million or $.56 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Net income increased 11.2% and diluted earnings per share increased 10.7% compared to first quarter 2005 results. The Company’s earnings for the first quarter produced an annualized return on average assets (ROA) of 1.19% and return on average equity (ROE) of 13.08%, compared to prior year ratios of 1.13% and 12.74%, respectively.

Net Interest Income

Total revenue, comprised of net interest income and noninterest income, was $18.1 million for the first quarter of 2006, an increase of $1.2 million or 7.4% over $16.9 million in 2005. The largest component, net interest income, amounted to $14.9 million for the first quarter, up $1.7 million or 12.7% compared with $13.2 million for the same quarter in 2005. Improvements in the growth and mix of average earning assets, coupled with net interest margin expansion, were the primary contributors to this growth. The net interest margin for the first quarter of 2006 was 4.35%, down five basis points sequentially compared to 4.40% for the fourth quarter of 2005, and up twenty basis points when compared to 4.15% for the first quarter of 2005. As interest rates have continued to increase over the past year, interest costs associated with interest bearing liabilities have accelerated. The average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities for the first quarter was 2.60%, up 21 basis points sequentially compared to 2.39% for the fourth quarter of 2005, and up 56 basis points when compared to the first quarter of 2005. Management anticipates the net interest margin to decline modestly for the foreseeable future as continuing pressures on deposit pricing in VFG’s markets are anticipated.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS

OF OPERATIONS

Noninterest Income

Total noninterest income was $3.3 million for the first quarter of 2006, a decrease of $431 thousand or 11.7% compared to $3.7 million for the first quarter of 2005. The 2006 results include a loss of $181 thousand on sale of securities available for sale associated with branch realignment within the Company. Approximately $20 million in securities sold were reinvested at a yield pickup of approximately 120 basis points. Included in the 2005 results is a net gain of $408 thousand in connection with the sales of two branches located in Tazewell County. Trust and brokerage fee income rose to $1.04 million for the first quarter of 2006, an increase of $133 thousand or 14.7% over the same period in 2005. Gross mortgage banking fees amounted to $633 thousand, an increase of $158 thousand or 33.3% when compared to $475 thousand for the first quarter of 2005, but down sequentially $277 thousand or 30.4% from the fourth quarter of 2005.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2006 totaled $11.2 million, up $649 thousand or 6.2% from $10.5 million for the same period in 2005. Compensation and employee benefits increased $554 thousand or 9.2% over the same quarter a year ago. This increase reflects new positions for the openings of the Seminole Trail and Graves Mill branches during the fourth quarter 2005 and first quarter 2006, respectively. It also reflects approximately $160 thousand in non-recurring severance benefits associated with a reorganization of management within our Virginia Commonwealth Trust Company affiliate during the first quarter of 2006. Management would anticipate some increase in operating expenses as two new branches open middle to late second quarter of 2006. VFG’s efficiency ratio was 59.5% for the quarter, compared to 60.8% for the same quarter in 2005.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the first quarter of 2006 was $2.0 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 30.6% compared to $1.8 million, or 30.8%, for the first quarter of 2005. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the quarter is a result of an increase in earnings from tax-exempt assets as a percentage of total income. The average balance of tax-exempt securities for the first quarter of 2006 increased by $18 million over the same period last year, resulting in an increase in related tax-exempt interest income.

Asset Quality

Asset quality remains strong, with VFG’s ratio of non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets amounting to .13% at March 31, 2006, compared to .15% at March 31, 2005 and .12% at December 31, 2005. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans receivable amounted to .01% for the first quarter and for the same quarter a year ago. At March 31, 2006, the allowance for loan losses was approximately seven times the level of non-performing assets, while the allowance as a percentage of total loans amounted to 1.17%, down slightly from 1.19% at December 31, 2005. The Company decreased its provision for loan losses by $36 thousand or 6.6%, from $546 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to $510 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capital Resources

The management of capital in a regulated financial services industry must properly balance return on equity to stockholders while maintaining sufficient capital levels and related risk-based capital ratios to satisfy regulatory requirements. Additionally, capital management must also consider acquisition opportunities that may exist, and the resulting accounting treatment. The Company’s capital management strategies have been developed to provide attractive rates of returns to stockholders, while maintaining its “well-capitalized” position at each of the banking subsidiaries.

The primary source of additional capital to the Company is earnings retention, which represents net income less dividends declared. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company retained $2.9 million, or 64.5% of its net income. Stockholders’ equity increased by $3.2 million, reflecting the earnings retention and an increase of $219 thousand in accumulated comprehensive income net of tax, after sales and reinvestment of securities related to branch realignment within the Company.

VIRGINIA FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS

OF OPERATIONS

The Company and its banking subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company and the subsidiary banks’ financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and its banking subsidiaries must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and reclassifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and its banking subsidiaries to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital to average assets. Management believes, as of March 31, 2006, that the Company and the subsidiary banks met all minimum capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject and are categorized as “well capitalized.” There are no conditions or events that management believes have changed the subsidiary banks’ well capitalized position.

The following table includes information with respect to the Company’s risk-based capital as of March 31, 2006 (000 omitted):

 

Tier 1 capital

   $ 142,684  

Tier 2 capital

Liquidity

Liquidity is identified as the ability to generate or acquire sufficient amounts of cash when needed and at a reasonable cost to accommodate withdrawals, payments of debt, and increased loan demand. These events may occur daily or other short-term intervals in the normal operation of the business. Experience helps management predict time cycles in the amount of cash required. In assessing liquidity, management gives consideration to relevant factors including stability of deposits, quality of assets, economy of markets served, concentrations of business and industry, competition, and the Company’s overall financial condition. The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are cash, securities in our available for sale portfolio and a $15 million line of credit with a correspondent bank. In addition, the Banks have substantial lines of credit from their correspondent banks and access to the Federal Reserve discount window and Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta to support liquidity as conditions dictate.

The liquidity of the Parent Company also represents an important aspect of liquidity management. The Parent Company’s cash outflows consist of overhead associated with corporate expenses, executive management,

finance, marketing, human resources, loan and deposit operations, information technology, audit, compliance and loan review functions. It also includes outflows associated with dividends to shareholders. The main sources of funding for the Parent Company are the management fees and dividends it receives from its banking and trust subsidiaries, a working line of credit with a correspondent bank, and availability of the trust preferred security market as deemed necessary. The Company’s capital base provides the resource and ability to support the assets of the Company and provide capital for future expansion.

In the judgment of management, the Company maintains the ability to generate sufficient amounts of cash to cover normal requirements and any additional funds as needs may arise.

Off Balance Sheet Items

There have been no material changes to the off balance sheet items disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” in VFG’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to the contractual obligations disclosed in VFG’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

Effects of Inflation

The effect of changing prices on financial institutions is typically different from other industries as the Company’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Interest rates and thus the Company’s asset liability management is impacted by changes in inflation, but there is not a direct correlation between the two measures. Management monitors the impact of inflation on the financial markets.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets an amendment of FASB Statement 140” (Statement 156). Statement 156 amends Statement 140 with respect to separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities. Statement 156 requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract and requires all servicing assets and liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. Statement 156 also permits entities to subsequently measure servicing assets and liabilities using an amortization method or fair value measurement method. Under the amortization method, servicing assets and liabilities are amortized in proportion to and over the estimated period of servicing. Under the fair value measurement method, servicing assets are measured at fair value at each reporting date and changes in fair value are reported in net income for the period the change occurs.

Adoption of Statement 156 is required as of the beginning of fiscal years beginning subsequent to September 15, 2006. Earlier adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year, provided the entity has not yet issued financial statements, including interim financial statements.

The Corporation does not expect the adoption of Statement 156 at the beginning of 2007 to have a material impact.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS

OF OPERATIONS

In November 2005, FASB Staff Position (FSP) 115-1 “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments” was issued. The FSP addresses the determination as to when an investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is other than temporary, and the measurement of an impairment loss. This FSP also includes accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. The guidance in this FSP amends FASB Statement No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” and APB Opinion No. 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock”. The FSP applies to investments in debt and equity securities and cost-method investments. The application guidance within the FSP includes items to consider in determining whether an investment is impaired, in evaluating if an impairment is other than temporary and recognizing impairment losses equal to the difference between the investment’s cost and its fair value when an impairment is determined. The FSP is required for all reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. Implementation of this FSP had no material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement No. 154, (“SFAS No. 154”) “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.” The new standard changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. Among other changes, SFAS No. 154 requires that a voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retrospectively with all prior period financial statements presented on the new accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS No. 154 also provides that (1) a change in method of depreciating or amortizing a long-lived nonfinancial asset be accounted for as a change in estimate (prospectively) that was effected by a change in accounting principle, and (2) correction of errors in previously issued financial statements should be termed a “restatement. “ The new standard is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Initial implementation of this standard had no material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Access to Filings

The Company provides access to their SEC filings through the corporate Website at www.vfgi.net. After accessing the Website, the filings are available upon selecting the SEC Filings & Other Documents icon. Reports available include the annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and all amendments to those reports as soon as reasonably practicable after the reports are electronically filed with or furnished to the SEC.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no significant changes to the quantitative and qualitative market risk disclosures in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We are required to include in our periodic reports information regarding our controls and procedures for complying with the disclosure requirements of the federal securities laws. These disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

VIRGINIA FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.

PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information related to the Company is made known to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer on a regular basis, in particular during the periods in which our quarterly and annual reports are being prepared. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of these disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report and, based on their evaluation, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are operating effectively.

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that our disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover every situation involving the failure of persons within the organization to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our period reports.

Our management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting and control of our assets 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. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting or control of assets during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting or control of assets.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
