| (a) | Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act. As previously reported under Item 9A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (the “Annual Report”), we had numerous deficiencies in our disclosures controls as of December 31, 2010. In the Annual Report we described the remediation efforts we have begun to undertake in order to correct such deficiencies. As of June 30, 2011, the deficiencies described in the Annual Report still existed since the remediation efforts had not yet been fully implemented as of such date. |

| (b) | Internal Control over Financial Reporting.  There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2011 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting subsequent to the date we carried out our most recent evaluation. As previously reported in Item 9A of the Annual Report, we had numerous material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. In the Annual Report we described the remediation efforts we have begun to undertake in order to correct such material weaknesses. As of June 30, 2011, the material weaknesses described in the Annual Report still existed since the remediation efforts had not yet been fully implemented as of such date. |
