Item 15. Controls and Procedures.

 

A. Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered in this annual report on Form 20-F, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (“disclosure controls”). Disclosure controls mean those controls and other procedures that are designed for the purpose of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such as this annual report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s

rules and forms. Disclosure controls include those controls designed to timely alert management to material information relating to its consolidated subsidiaries, required to be included in the Company’s reports filed under the Securities Act of 1934. Our Controls and procedures designed for the purpose of providing reasonable level of assurance that our transactions are properly authorized, our assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use and our transactions are properly recorded and reported, all to permit the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. This evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

 

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the reality of resource constraints; accordingly 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 possible misstatements due to fraud or error, if any, within our company have been detected. Among the inherent limitations in controls are the potential for erroneous judgments and decisions or simple errors or mistakes in the chain of recording, processing, summarizing or reporting information. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the intentional acts of individuals or multiple persons acting in concert, or by management override. The design of any system of controls also is based in part on assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and we can give no assurance that our controls as designed will succeed in achieving their stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

In conjunction with it’s 2004 audit of our financial statements, our independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, identified certain items they described as “reportable conditions,” relating primarily to the controls over the financial reporting process and stated that such conditions represented material weaknesses. These conditions are that the Company’s financial reporting process is concentrated within a small number of people who are separated geographically and have limited expertise in US financial reporting and disclosure requirements. It was our auditors judgment that the material weaknesses resulted in there not being a relatively low level risk that misstatements caused by error or fraud in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. The Company intends to implement improvements to its policies and procedures to maintain an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting. In addition, the Company is also intending to hire additional qualified resources to prepare the Company to comply with the new internal control over financial reporting certification requirements which will be effective as of December 31, 2006 pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The improvements are intended to maintain an effective system of disclosure controls. However, as of the end of 2004, the reportable conditions continue to exist.

 

In accordance with SEC requirements, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer note that, since the date of their above-referenced evaluation, there have been no changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect our internal controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

 

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer do not believe that the conditions represent material weaknesses based on the systems and procedures in place at December 31, 2004, along with a few dedicated senior finance/accounting staff who have been with the Company over 15 years on the average and are familiar with all facets of the Company’s operations, and have concluded that our disclosure controls are effective at a reasonable level of assurance. Notwithstanding, the Company does recognize the need to improve its resources and internal expertise in financial reporting and of disclosure requirements and are considering various options to address those issues by the end of 2005.

 

B. Change in internal controls

 

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls that had a material effect or could have a material effect during the period covered by this annual report.
