OCEAN SMART, INC.




NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(unaudited)





Note 1.  Basis of Presentation, Organization and Nature of Operations





Ocean Smart, Inc. (or “Ocean Smart”) a Nevada Corporation, is the parent company of Island Scallops Ltd., a Vancouver Island aquaculture company. Island Scallops was established in 1989 and for over 20 years has operated a scallop farming and marine hatchery business. Island Scallops is dedicated to the farming, processing and marketing of high quality, high value marine species (scallops).




We have evaluated subsequent events through the date of the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.





Note 2.  Going Concern





Prior to the completion of our initial Preferred Stock Financing, working capital had been primarily financed with various forms of debt.  We have suffered operating losses since inception in our efforts to establish and execute our business strategy.  As of February 28, 2010, we had a cash balance of approximately $24,600 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $25,900,000 including a net loss of roughly $589,000 for the first six months of our 2010 fiscal year.  After the completion of the Series D preferred financing in May 2008, management believed that we had adequate funds to maintain our business operations into our 2010 fiscal year and/or until we become cash flow positive, but we continued to suffer operational losses in our 2010, 2009 and 2008 fiscal years. Until our operations are able to demonstrate and maintain positive cash flows, we may require additional working capital to fund our ongoing operations and execute our business strategy of expanding our operations.  In fact,   based on our current estimates of future sales and capital costs of expanding our farms in order to increase future crop yields, we will require additional financings to continue expand our operations.  Based on these factors, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.





Note 3.  Significant Accounting Policies





Basis of Presentation





Our unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for reporting interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2009. Results of operations for the six months ended February 28, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full accounting year or any future period.





Reclassifications





Certain amounts in the 2009 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2010 financial statements presentation.









6





Note 4.  Short Term Debt





Included in short-term debt, at February 28, 2010 and August 31, 2009 are estimated royalties of US$63,247 and US$60,948 payable to a third party from whom the former sole shareholder of Island Scallops originally acquired the shares of Island Scallops.  The 1992 share purchase agreement (for Island Scallops) provided that the third party was to receive 3% of revenues from Island Scallops as earned, on a quarterly basis, throughout the period from December 1, 1992 to November 30, 2002.  The third party holds a first charge (or first lien) over our inventory (including broodstock) in the amount of CDN$350,000 in support of its royalty entitlement.  The third party has not taken further action to enforce payment of the arrears liability.  To date, we have accrued the entire balance of US$63,247 as a current liability and we plan to pay it with available funds in the near future.





Note 5. Long Term Debt





The consolidated financial statements include a Western Diversification Program non-interest bearing loan to Island Scallops that originally required repayment equal to 12% of gross revenues from our scallop sales, payable semi-annually, with no specified due date.  The repayment terms have been formally amended several times.  Most recently, as of February 28, 2009, we reached an agreement with the Western Diversification Program to revise the repayment terms of the remaining balance of $392,154 (representing $141,902 overdue and a balance of $250,252).  Beginning February 28, 2009, we began repaying the overdue amount at rate of $950 (CDN$1,000) per month and were scheduled to continue through December 31, 2009.  Commencing January 31, 2010, we began paying $4,751 (CDN$5,000) per month towards the overdue balance.  Starting January 31, 2011, our monthly repayment amount will be the greater of 4% of Island Scallops’ gross monthly revenues or $9,503 (CDN$10,000) per month.  Under the terms of the modified agreement, the overdue amount will also bear interest at an annual rate of 3%.  Starting January 31, 2012, we will begin repaying the balance of $250,252 at the greater of 4% of Island Scallops gross monthly revenues or $9,503 (CDN$10,000) per month.  At February 28, 2010 and August 31, 2009, the balance due is $US400,022 and US$388,428, of which US$ 139,905 and US$138,107 is reflected in the current portion of long term debt and the remaining balance of US$260,117 and US$250,321 is reflected as long term debt.





These consolidated financial statements include Island Scallops’ unsecured loan from the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program which requires quarterly payments commencing March 1, 2003 equal to 3% of gross revenues of Island Scallops until the earlier of full repayment or December 1, 2012.  If at December 1, 2012, Island Scallops has not earned sufficient revenues to repay the original loan amount, the remaining portion of the loan is to be forgiven.  Amounts currently due at February 28, 2010, bear interest at a rate of 1% per month.  At February 28, 2010, Island Scallops is in arrears in respect to the payment of these amounts.  The National Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program has requested payment of the $144,303 that they claim is owed under this loan agreement.  As such, at February 28, 2010, US$186,818 is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and the remaining principal balance of US$187,296 is reflected in the current portion of long term debt. We are seeking to renegotiate the repayment terms with NRC.





Note 6.  Contingent Liabilities





Neither we nor our wholly owned subsidiary maintain insurance covering the replacement of our inventory. Consequently, we are exposed to financial losses or failure as a result of this risk.











7





Note 7.   Stock Option and Warrants





Stock Options





In August 2005, our Board of Directors approved the “Edgewater Foods International 2005 Equity Incentive Plan.” The Board of Directors originally reserved 5,000,000 shares of our common stock to be issued in the form of incentive and/or non-qualified stock options for employees, directors and consultants to Ocean Smart. Per the terms of the plan the aggregate number of shares available for granting awards has increased to 8,000,000.  As of February 28,  2010, our Board of Directors had authorized the issuance of 5,892,000 options to employees.





During the six months ended February 28, 2010, $10,726 in stock option expenses was recognized.  An additional $5,363 will be recognized in the three month period ending May 31, 2010.





Stock option activity during the six months ended February 28, 2010, was as follows:

Note 8. Preferred Stock Dividends





On December 31, 2009, we issued an aggregate of 449,851 shares of common stock, as dividends, to the holders our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, as shown in the table below. The number of shares issued was calculated at a rate of 8% for the Series A and 6% for the Series B and Series C Preferred Stock, per annum (subject to a pro rata adjustment) of the liquidation preference amount payable in shares equal to 90% of the quotient of (i) the dividend payment divided by (ii) the average of the VWAP for the 20 trading days immediately preceding the date the dividend payment is due, but in no event less than $0.65.  As such, the shares were valued at $323,200 and the total aggregate value of the transaction was recorded as a preferred stock dividend.

Item 2


MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS





The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto which appear elsewhere in this report.  The results shown herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in any future periods.  This discussion contains forward-looking statements based on current expectations, which involve uncertainties.  Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors.  Readers should also carefully review factors set forth in other reports or documents that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.





Overview





During the first six months of our 2010 fiscal year, we continued the harvesting, processing and sale of our remaining 2005 and 2006 year classes of scallops and began the harvesting, processing and sale of our 2007 scallops.  In addition, we continued the transfer of 2008 year-class scallops to larger grow-out nets on our farm sites.  We also continued the process of transferring our 2009 scallop class to our farm sites (from onshore nursery ponds).  In addition, in February 2010 we began the spawning of our 2010 scallop class.  We refer to the year-class of scallops based on when the scallops were spawned.





In addition to scallop sales, we plan on generating additional revenues via the sale of scallop and other shellfish seed (including mussels and oysters).  In the future, management may place emphasis on generating additional revenues via equipment sales to other aquaculture businesses.





As was the case in the previous fiscal year, we continue to struggle to achieve positive operational cash flows during the first six months of 2010.  Given our recent operational history, it is likely that we will continue to struggle to achieve positive cash flows in the near future. As a result, management continued to investigate a variety of methods to either increase sales or develop new business lines or joint ventures to improve our margins.  As part of this process, we are still searching for strategic acquisitions and/or business opportunities with seafood industry partners or additional strategic investors to enable the company to capitalize on our existing hatchery technology and expertise. Part of this process may involve locating opportunities to increase near-term revenues via the sale of shellfish seed or shellfish larvae produced in our hatchery.  Our initial focus is on companies that we believe could significantly benefit from our hatchery technology and expertise and that would add additional revenue and/or have a geographically desirable location.  We are evaluating both potential acquisitions and partnerships and/or assets sales or purchases with such companies to reach our goal of capitalizing on our hatchery technology, which hopefully would increase cash flows.   We are currently focusing our efforts on Chinese companies.  Aside from the November 2008 acquisition of Granscal Sea Farms Ltd., as of the date of this filing, no new definitive agreements have been signed.   Management currently plans to fund any future acquisition via either debt financing or additional equity financings, although we cannot guarantee that such financing will be available when it is required or on terms that we consider to be favorable.  Alternatively, management believes that opportunities may exist where we could provide our technology and knowledge to a joint venture that is funded by the other party.








9





We are also continuing our discussions with various individuals and First Nations groups about possible partnerships or joint ventures.  Originally, management believed that we would be able to formalize our first joint venture with a First Nations group as early as the start of the 2010 calendar year.  To date, we have yet to finalize a revenue producing First Nations joint venture and management is now unsure if we will be able to formalize a joint venture in near future.





During 2009, we completed a sales agreement with Fanny Bay Oyster Co., a division of Taylor Shellfish Farms of Shelton, Washington (an international seafood distributor and the largest shellfish company on the West Coast).  The order includes live scallops, fresh scallop meat and frozen scallops that will be packaged and delivered in various scallop products (including live in-the-shell, frozen half-shell and fresh meat).   As a result of this order, Fanny Bay has effectively become the exclusive distributor of our scallops outside the European market.  This order has reduced costs and encouraged additional wholesalers within the Taylor network to carry our scallops.





During the harvesting of our 2005, 2006 and 2007 scallops classes and the transfer and handling of our 2008 and 2009 scallop classes, we were able to continue to review our mortality rates and update our class size projections.  Based on this review and recent sales, we expect to bring the remaining roughly 23,000 of our 2006 year class scallops to reach market in the 2010 calendar year.  As of our most recent review of our scallop inventory, we currently believe that our 2007 year class has approximately 2.08 million scallops remaining to be harvested. Although this is significantly lower than initial estimates, it will still represent our largest year class to date.





During 2009, we continued to grow the 2008 scallop class in pearl nets.  We originally expected to produce up to 24 million full-size scallops in this year class, but due to survival problems associated with our hatchery spawns and funding limitations, we now expect to produce as few as 1.1 million full-size scallops.   Based on our initial review of the hatchery spawn, we believe the mortality problems were the result of large blooms of toxic marine algae at the critical stage prior to metamorphosis of approximately 600 million scallop larvae.   These blooms corresponded to high levels of Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning in our ocean farms and although it did not harm any of our juvenile or mature scallops, it is believed that pre-metamorphic larvae are particularly susceptible. Procedures are now in place to prevent the introduction of toxic algae into the hatchery system in the coming years.





During the 2009 spawning season (February and March 2009), a total of roughly 780 million pre metamorphic larvae were produced.  As a result of a colder than normal seawater temperatures, onshore nursery growth was delayed in April and May.  We transferred more than 7 million 3-5 mm scallop seed into our ocean farms during the summer of 2009. As of February 28, 2010, we estimate that our 2009 scallops class will yield approximately 3.9 million 2009 scallops at full maturity/harvest.





As a result of a review of our business plan and sales and marketing efforts to date, we currently plan to harvest and sell approximately 2.3 million full-size scallops over the 12 months ending August 31, 2010.   Given our lower than expected revenues and negative cash flows during 2009 and the first six months of 2010, the size of our 2009 and 2010 year classes will (in many ways) continue to be determined by our ability to generate positive cash flows and/or our ability to locate additional financing and/or joint venture partners.  As a result of our lower than expected sales and yields, we are still evaluating the cash available for farming and infrastructure costs related to transferring the remaining portion of the 2009 scallop class and to expanding our future yields.  In addition, we are evaluating the capital available to spawn, grow onshore and transfer our 2010 scallop class.  At the time of this filing, management has yet to determine the estimated size of our 2010 scallop class.

Based on our review of current sales and marketing conditions, we believe that in the best case scenarios our scallops will yield as much as USD$1.00 of revenue per scallop; in 2009 our yield was approximately  US$1.05 per scallop.  The yield per scallop may increase if we are able to sell a greater percentage of live scallops.  We are beginning to place a greater emphasis on scallop seed sales and it is possible, although we cannot make any assurances, that we will be able to produce and/or sell a significantly larger amount of scallop seed in the near future.  Based on the disclosure set forth above, our current estimated inventory size and projected sales cycle is summarized in the following table as of February 28, 2010.

Please note that the above table represents estimates of inventory to be sold over the next 12 months, 24 months and beyond.  It is possible that actual results could differ significantly from our estimates.





We periodically evaluate the carrying value of our inventory for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that such carrying values may not be recoverable.  Management uses its best judgment based on the current facts and circumstances relating to its business when determining whether any significant impairment factors exist.  As of February 28, 2010, management performed an undiscounted cash flow analysis to determine that there was no impairment in the carrying value our scallop inventory.    There can be no assurances, however, that market conditions will not change or demand for our products will continue or allow us to realize the value of our long-lived assets and prevent future impairment.





If our mortality rates are better than our current projections, our yield and revenues from the 2007 and 2008 scallop class could be higher; conversely, if our mortality rates are worse than we anticipate our revenues for this period could be lower than we anticipate.  In addition, changes in the anticipated growth rates, projected harvesting cycles and large fluctuations in the price of scallops or the US-Canadian exchange rate could impact our current projections.  Furthermore, if we cannot achieve our estimated product mixture (live/fresh/frozen) than our average sales price per scallop will be lower.  Alternatively, if we are able to sell a large percentage of high yield products (live or frozen on the half shells) than our average price per scallop will be higher.  Given our failure to achieve positive cash flows in 2009 and the first six months of 2010, the size of our future crops could be smaller than originally projected.  If so, our future revenues and yields could be adversely impacted.








11





Despite our efforts to improve our cost of goods relative to our selling price, we are still operating at a low or negative margin.    Although we conducted a top-down operations review and originally believed that we had indentified certain operational inefficiencies that contributed to this low or negative operating margin, we have yet to successfully reduce our cost of goods and achieve positive cash flow.  Management is hopeful that we could achieve positive cash flow at some point in future.  However, given our recent operational history, it is likely that we will continue to struggle to achieve positive cash flows in the near future.





Based on our current estimates of near-term sales, capital costs of expanding our farms to increase future crop yields and capital requirement for near-term operations, we will require additional financings to continue our expansion.  As we have yet to raise additional capital and our sales have increased at a slower than expected pace, we have scaled back some of our expansion plans and will likely have to further scale back the plans outlined herein and reduce the size of future scallop classes.  We now plan to try and align our future expansions with our ability to generate positive cash flows from our current scallop crops and/or our ability to locate additional financing.  As a result of our failure to achieve positive cash flows in 2009, we will require additional capital to complete our expansion plans.  Additionally, management intends to place a greater emphasis on increasing scallop and other shellfish seed sales in 2010 to generate additional cash that could be used in operations.  If we are unable to generate more cash from sales and/or financings, we may need to further modify our business plans.








Comparison of results for the three months and six months ended February 28, 2010 and 2009.





Revenues.Revenues for the three months ended February 28, 2010, were approximately $655,000.  We had revenues of approximately $433,000 for the three months ended February 28, 2009.  This is an increase of approximately $222,000 or 51%.   Revenues for the six months ended February 28, 2010, were approximately $1,228,000.  We had revenues of approximately $1,010,000 for the six months ended February 28, 2009.  This is an increase of approximately $218,000 or 22%.   Revenue generated by scallop sales increased almost 63% (in terms of Canadian dollars).  In the first six months of our 2010 fiscal year, scallop sales represented almost 88% of our overall sales as compared to 62% in the previous fiscal year.  Although our overall volume of scallops sales increased over the previous fiscal year, our average price per scallop remained relatively unchanged due to the agreement with Fanny Bay.  During the six months ended February 28, 2009, management placed a greater emphasis on equipment sales to other aquaculture companies and shellfish seed sales.  Revenue from non-scallop sales represented almost 38% of revenue in 2009 as compared to roughly 12% in 2010.





Gross profit (loss). Gross loss for the three months ended February 28, 2010 was approximately $7,000, a decrease of approximately $289,000 as compared to gross loss of roughly $296,000 for the three months ended February 28, 2009.  Gross profit for the six months ended February 28, 2010 was approximately $43,000, an increase of approximately $402,000 as compared to gross loss of roughly $359,000 for the  six months ended February 28, 2009.  We believe that we are beginning to capitalize on management’s continued focus on both the expansion and development of larger scallop crops and larger scallop yields for future years, as well as our sales and marketing agreement with Fanny Bay.  Additionally, management is continuing to attempt to address issues that resulted in higher cost of inventory and seed costs.  Management believes that in the future our sales may continue to increase while costs of goods sold will only increase slightly. As a result, we are hopeful that our margins will improve in future years.  Despite our continuing losses over the previous fiscal years, we are attempting to continue to focus resources on maintaining, developing and tending to our scallop crops and shellfish seed.  We believe that we have already seen the initial benefits in increased sales of our own scallops and if we are able to locate adequate working capital, than we can continue to see additional benefits from our efforts in developing larger crops and expanding our seed sales in the 2010 fiscal year and beyond.  If we are unable to locate adequate working capital and/or generate positive cash flow that can be used for overall business development, we may not be able to capitalize on recent developments and gross losses could further increase in future periods.  Additionally,  given our recent operational history, it is likely that we will continue to struggle to achieve positive cash flows in the near future.








12





Operating expenses.  Operating expenses for the three months ended February 28, 2010, were approximately $299,000.  Our operating expenses were approximately $421,000 for the three months ended February 28, 2009.   For the six months ended February 28, 2010, operating expenses were roughly $594,000 as compared to $693,000 for six months ended February 28, 2009.  Management expects that general and administrative expenses (excluding stock options expense) may slightly rise as we continue to expand our operations.  However, if adequate working capital is available, we believe that we now have the necessary general and administrative staff in place to maintain an expansion into scallop crops to more than 20 million.





Other income (expense), net.  Interest expense for the three months ended February 28, 2010, was approximately $18,000.  Interest expense for the three months ended February 28, 2009, was approximately $12,000.  Other income for the three months ended February 28, 2010, was roughly $300 as opposed to other expense of nil for the three months ended February 28, 2009.





Interest expense for the six months ended February 28, 2010, was approximately $36,000.  Interest expense for the six months ended February 28, 2009, was approximately $23,000.  Other expense for the six months ended February 28, 2010, was roughly $1,400 as opposed to other expense of nil for the six months ended February 28, 2009.





Net loss.As a result of the above, the net loss for three months ended February 28, 2010, was approximately $323,000 as compared to a net loss of approximately $729,000 for the three months ended February 28, 2009.   Net loss for the six months ended February 28, 2010 was roughly $589,000 as compared to a net loss of approximately $1,076,000 for the same period of the previous fiscal year.





Liquidity and Cash Resources.At February 28, 2010, we had a cash balance of approximately $24,600.   Prior to the completion of our initial preferred stock financing, working capital had been primarily financed with various forms of debt.  We have suffered operating losses since inception in our efforts to establish and execute our business strategy.   After the completion of the Series D preferred financing in May 2008, management believed that we had adequate funds to maintain our business operations into our 2010 fiscal year and/or until we become cash flow positive, but we continued to suffer operational losses in our 2009 and 2008 fiscal years. Until our operations are able to demonstrate and maintain positive cash flows, we will require additional working capital to fund our ongoing operations and execute our business strategy of expanding our operations.  As we have yet to raise additional capital and our sales have increased at a slower than expected pace, we have scaled back some of our expansion plans and will likely have to further scale back the plans outlined herein.  We now plan to try and align our future expansions with our ability to generate positive cash flows from our current scallop crops and/or our ability to locate additional financing.  As a result of our failure to achieve positive cash flows in 2009, we will require additional capital to complete our expansion plans.  If we are unable to generate more cash from sales and/or financings, we may need to further modify our business plans.  Based on these factors, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  Management plans to address this situation by utilizing our new sales agreements, improved processing plant, recent harvesting and sorting experience and increasing scallop and shellfish seed sales to increase our revenues and to try to begin achieving cash flow positive operations.  In addition, Management believes that opportunities exist with other aquaculture companies, equipment vendors and/or seafood distributors that could result in possible partnerships, joint ventures, financings and/or acquisitions that could result in significantly improved cash flows or additional working capital.  Part of this process may involve locating opportunities to increase near-term revenues via the sale of shellfish seed or shellfish larvae produced in our hatchery.  Our initial focus is on companies that we believe could significantly benefit from our hatchery technology and expertise and that would add additional revenue and/or have a geographically desirable location.  We are evaluating both potential acquisitions and partnerships and/or assets sales or purchases with such companies in order to reach our goal of capitalizing on our hatchery technology in order to increase cash flows, but as of the date of this Report, have not entered into any formal agreements or conducted any formal negotiations with any such companies.   To date, we have been unable to achieve  and maintain positive cash flows over any 12 month period or locate additional financings in the first six months of our 2010 fiscal year.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES





Disclosure Controls and Procedures





We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that the information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Accounting Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We performed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on their evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Accounting Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in giving us reasonable assurance that the information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.





We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.





Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting





In our Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2009, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of August 31, 2009.





Management did however identify a significant deficiency; a significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the registrant’s financial reporting.  Currently we do not have sufficient in-house expertise in US GAAP reporting.  Instead, we rely very much on the expertise and knowledge of external financial advisors in US GAAP conversion.  External financial advisors have helped prepare and review the consolidated financial statements.  Although we have not identified any material errors with our financial reporting or any material weaknesses with our internal controls, no assurances can be given that there are no such material errors or weaknesses existing.  To remediate this situation, we are seeking to recruit experienced professionals to augment and upgrade our financial staff to address issues of timeliness and completeness in US GAAP financial reporting.  In addition, we do not believe we have sufficient documentation with our existing financial processes, risk assessment and internal controls.  We plan to work closely with external financial advisors to document the existing financial processes, risk assessment and internal controls systematically.





We believe that the remediation measures we are taking, if effectively implemented and maintained, will remediate the significant deficiency discussed above.





Except as described above, there have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter to which this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
