ITEM 2. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
 

             (i)  As of October 3, 2007, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940) was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the registrant’s President (who is the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer of the registrant). Based on that evaluation, the registrant’s President concluded that the registrant’s controls and procedures are effectively designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the registrant has been recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required by the Commission’s rules and forms, and that information required to be disclosed by the registrant has been accumulated and communicated to the registrant’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

              (ii) There has been no change in the registrants’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the Investment Company Act) that occurred during the last fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
