Item 9A. Controls and Procedures. We maintain a system of controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of the financial statements and other disclosures included in this report, as well as to safeguard assets from unauthorized use or disposition. We evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as of the end of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2003. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable assurance level in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic Securities and Exchange Commission filings. There were no changes that occurred during the quarterly period ended December 31, 2003 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to material affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
