                       STARTECH ENVIRONMENTAL CORPORATION
         NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Going Concern.
-------------------------------------------------

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
Startech Environmental Corporation (the "Company" or "Startech") have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information. In the
opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only
of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the
Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates
and for the periods indicated. Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") applicable to quarterly reports on Form
10-Q, the accompanying financial statements do not include all the disclosures
required by GAAP for annual financial statements. While the Company believes
that the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not
misleading, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements
and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended October 31, 2008, as filed with the SEC on February 13, 2009.
Operating results for the three months ended January 31, 2009 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal
year ending October 31, 2009, or any other interim period.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which
contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization
of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial
statements do not purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The
Company has no significant revenue, has suffered significant recurring operating
losses and needs to raise additional capital in order to be able to accomplish
its business plan objectives. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company incurred a net loss of $1,022,306 during the three months ended
January 31, 2009. For the three months ended January 31, 2009, net cash used by
operating activities was $989,188. As of January 31, 2009, the Company had cash
and cash equivalents of $3,653,289 and had negative working capital of
$3,648,640. The Company has historically obtained funds to operate its business
through the sale of equity and debt instruments, through the receipt of
installment payments in respect of sales of its products and the receipt of
payments in connection with entering into distributorship agreements. During the
three months ended January 31, 2009 the Company received a payment of $250,000
in connection with a Distribution Agreement from an entity. The Company has been
and continues to be dependent upon the deposits and installment payments from
the execution of distributorship agreements, sales of its products and sales of
its securities.

The Company's ability to continue to operate as a going concern depends on its
ability to generate sufficient revenue from the sale of its products, payments
in connection with entering into distributorship agreements and/or the receipt
of additional capital from one or more financing sources. Due to the fact that
the Company has been unsuccessful in consummating additional sales of its
products or otherwise raising additional capital, it has relied on a portion of
the funds the Company received as non-refundable customer deposits in connection
with the two sales agreements for products (see Note 6) to cover operating
expenses. Management is continuing its efforts to sell the Company's products
and to secure additional funds through the receipt of additional capital.
However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to sell its
products or that the Company will be able to raise additional capital on terms
acceptable to it or at all. If the Company is unable to sell its products or
raise additional capital, the Company will be forced to utilize the remaining
balance of its non-refundable customer deposits to remain a viable entity and
accordingly, the Company might need to significantly restrict or discontinue its
operations.


Note 2 - Summary of Certain Significant Accounting Policies.
------------------------------------------------------------

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the fair
value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 123R. Stock-based compensation expense for all share-based payment
awards is based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS No. 123R. The Company recognizes these compensation costs
over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option
vesting term.

                                        4
<PAGE>

Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock

Basic net loss per share excludes dilution for potentially dilutive securities
and is computed by dividing net loss attributable to holders of shares of common
stock by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that
could occur if securities or other instruments to issue shares of common stock
were exercised or converted into shares of common stock. Potentially dilutive
securities realizable from the exercise of options and warrants aggregating
8,855,966 and 11,163,121 at January 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, are
excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share as their inclusion would
be anti-dilutive.


Note 3 -- Note Receivable.
--------------------------

On October 25, 2006, the Company received a promissory note from Global Tech in
the principal amount of $385,000 in conjunction with a sales agreement. As part
of the agreement, the Company was scheduled to receive payment on or before
September 15, 2007, but the payment was never received. Global Tech has since
requested multiple extensions, each of which has been granted by the Company,
the latest of which called for monthly installment payments of $50,000 beginning
November 1, 2008, and concluding with a final payment of $135,000 on April 30,
2009. On January 31, 2009, the Company notified Global Tech they were in
violation of the note receivable agreement and wrote off the note with a
corresponding reduction of Customer Deposits and Deferred Revenue.


Note 4 - Inventories.
---------------------

Inventories consist of raw materials and work-in-process and are stated at the
lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method.
Inventories consist of the following:

Note 5 -- Stockholders' Equity.
-------------------------------

Common Stock

The Company sponsors an employee savings plan designed to qualify under Section
401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. This plan is for all full-time employees
who have completed 30 days of service. Contributions by the Company are made in
the form of shares of common stock at the prevailing current market price and
vest equally over an employee's initial three-year service period. The Company
matches the first ten percent of an employee's contributions on a
dollar-for-dollar basis, up to the maximum contribution allowed under the
Internal Revenue Code. Contributions for the three months ended January 31, 2009
and 2008 were $29,089, and $26,399, respectively. These contributions were, or
will be, made through the issuance of 78,029 and 15,900 shares of common stock,
respectively.

On January 20, 2009, the Company issued 200,000 shares of its common stock,
valued at $66,000, to its 401(k) plan as a non-discretionary contribution to the
401(k) plan participants.

Stock Options

For the three months ended January 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company incurred
aggregate stock-based compensation expense of $0 and $84,300, respectively. As

Note 6 - Commitments and Contingencies.
---------------------------------------

Sales Agreements

On May 10, 2007, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with EnviroSafe
Industrial Services Corporation ("EnviroSafe") whereby the Company sold to
EnviroSafe two 10 ton-per-day (rated capacity), or TPD, and one 5 TPD (rated
capacity) Plasma Converter Systems to process various solid, liquid and gaseous
feeds, including hazardous waste for a total purchase price of $19,275,000. On
May 23, 2007, the Company received a down payment in the amount of $1,927,500,
or 10% of the purchase price. The remainder of the purchase price was scheduled
to be paid in installments, the last of which is scheduled to be paid upon the
issuance of a certificate of completion following installation of the Plasma
Converter Systems. The Company received aggregate payments under this sales
agreement of $9,155,500 through January 31, 2009. As of January 31, 2009,
payments aggregating $3,373,250 were past due. There can be no assurance that
these payments or other payments contemplated by this contract will be made or
that the Company will deliver the Plasma Converter Systems covered by this
purchase agreement. Management of the Company has indicated that the delays in
payment have been the result of a combination of factors, including the
relocation of the installation site for the Plasma Converter Systems (as
described below), changes to EnviroSafe's business plans in connection with the
relocation and the impact of the global economic crisis on EnviroSafe's
resources.

Management of the Company has indicated that EnviroSafe elected to relocate the
site of installation, which has resulted in delays in fabricating and assembling
the Plasma Converter Systems. The Company is completing those items in the
fabrication and assembly process that can be completed within the requirements
of imposed reduced resources. On December 9, 2008, the Company announced that
EnviroSafe acquired the new site where it plans to install the Plasma Converter
Systems for its new Recycling and Energy-recovery, Environmental Center. The
Company has visited the new site and have been in discussions with EnviroSafe
about revising the contract to change the final delivery date and payment
schedule; however, the terms have not been finalized. Management of the Company
has indicated it currently expects the EnviroSafe project to continue forward
with a delivery date targeted for late 2009.

On August 10, 2007, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with a
customer for the purchase of a Plasma Converter System for an aggregate sales
price of $5,400,000. Through January 31, 2009, the Company received $1,350,000
in payments relating to this agreement. The balance of the purchase price is
scheduled to be paid in installments. On March 5, 2008, the Company agreed to a
revised payment schedule with the customer to extend the $540,000 payment
originally due on May 15, 2008. The Company has not yet received this payment
nor has this revised payment schedule been implemented There can be no assurance
that these payments or other payments contemplated by this contract will be made
or that the Company will deliver the Plasma Converter Systems covered by this
purchase agreement. Management has indicated that the Company is currently in
discussion with the customer with respect to a revised delivery schedule related
to past due payments.

For both agreements referred to above, the down payment and installment payments
received and accrued have been included as part of customer deposits and
deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheet. Final installments will be
made upon the issuance of a certificate of completion if and when the
installation of the PCSs has been completed. All amounts, other than the down
payment, not paid by the customer within 30 days after such amounts become due
and payable to the Company, shall bear interest as stated, not to exceed the
maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable law.

On January 23, 2009 the Company entered into an agreement with an entity, as its
exclusive distributor for the Republic of Slovenia, the Republic of Croatia, the
Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Republic of Serbia, the Republic of
Macedonia, the Republic of Montenegro and also the Republic of Austria. The
Company received a cash payment of $250,000 on January 23, 2009 in connection

                                       6
<PAGE>

with this agreement, which also requires the entity to purchase certain Plasma
Converter Systems during the following years as a minimum requirement to
maintain the possession of the distributorship rights.

Operating Leases

The Company leases office space, equipment, computers and vehicles under
non-cancelable operating leases through 2009.

The Company's corporate headquarters is located at 88 Danbury Road, Wilton,
Connecticut 06897-2525 where the Company leases 5,612 square feet of office
space. The lease provides for monthly base rent payments of $11,224 through
December 2011, when the lease expires, subject to the Company's option to extend
it for another three years on substantially the same terms. On December 4, 2006,
in connection with the execution of the lease agreement, the Company issued a
warrant to the landlord to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock at an
exercise price of $3.00 per share, valued at approximately $473,000 using the
Black-Scholes model. These deferred leasing costs are being amortized over the
life of the lease. These warrants are scheduled to expire on December 4, 2011.
During the three months ended January 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company recognized
$19,726 and $59,175 respectively, as amortization of deferred leasing costs.

The Company's product showroom is located in Bristol, Connecticut, where the
Company currently leases 16,291 square feet of office space. On July 13, 2007,
the Company signed an amendment to the original lease agreement whereby the
Company increased the rented space and extended the lease such that the
expiration is now June 15, 2009. The current lease provides for monthly base
rent payments of $8,145.

The Company's manufacturing facility is located in Bristol, Connecticut, where
the Company leases 30,000 square feet of manufacturing space. The lease provided
for monthly base rent payments of $5,775 through the December 31, 2007
expiration date. The lease arrangement is currently on a month-to-month basis
for a rent payment of $4,775 per month.

The following table shows the Company's future lease commitments under its
operating leases:

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company's cash and cash equivalents consist of cash balances at one
financial institution and short-term liquid investments including commercial
paper, U.S. Treasury notes and U.S. Treasury bills with maturities of less than
30 days. From time to time, the Company's balances may be uninsured or in
deposit accounts that exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance
limits. The Company does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit
risk for cash.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains a number of "forward-looking
statements". Specifically, all statements other than statements of historical
facts included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q regarding our financial
position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future
operations are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are
based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by and
information currently available to management. When used in this quarterly
report, the words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "may," "will,"
"continue" and "intend," and words or phrases of similar import, as they relate
to our financial position, business strategy and plans, or objectives of
management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These
statements reflect management's current view with respect to future events and
are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions related to various factors
including, without limitation, those described below the heading "Overview" and
in our registration statements and periodic reports filed with the SEC under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

Although management believes that its expectations are reasonable, we cannot
assure you that such expectations will prove to be correct. Should any one or
more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any underlying
assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those
described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as anticipated, believed,
estimated, expected or intended.

In this Item 2, references to the "Company," "Startech", "we," or "us" means
Startech Environmental Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary.

Overview

We are an environmental technology company that fabricates and sells a recycling
system for the global marketplace using components manufactured by third
parties. We believe that our plasma processing technology, known as the Plasma
Converter System ("PCS"), achieves closed-loop elemental recycling that destroys
hazardous and non-hazardous waste and industrial by-products and is capable of
converting them into useful commercial products. These products could include a
synthesis gas called PCG (Plasma Converted Gas), surplus energy for power,
hydrogen, metals and silicate for possible use and sale by users of the Plasma
Converter System.

Until January 2004, we were engaged solely in the manufacture and sale of
equipment for use by others. Since then, we have attempted to broaden the scope
of our available revenues. This change was brought about by our decision to
attempt to expand our market penetration strategies and opportunities. Rather
than only market and sell our products for use by others, we are now seeking
opportunities to become directly involved in the operation and use of our
products.

We believe specific events will drive demand for our Plasma Converter System.
They include:

     o    Increases in waste, and in particular hazardous waste, due to rising
          consumer/industrial consumption and population growth in most nations;

     o    Current waste disposal and remediation techniques such as landfills
          and incineration becoming regulatory, socially and environmentally
          less acceptable;

     o    A need for critical resources, such as power and water, to sustain
          local economies; and

     o    The emphasis being placed upon the production of distributed power and
          the need to provide alternatives to fossil fuels.

We believe that our core plasma technology addresses these waste and resource
issues by offering remediation solutions that are integrated with a range of
equipment solutions and services. We believe our products will add value to our
potential customers' businesses as they could possibly realize revenue streams
from disposal or processing fees, as well as from the sale of resulting
commodity products and services.

We have been actively educating and promoting to our potential customers the
benefits of the Plasma Converter System over other forms of waste remediation
technologies. Our efforts to educate the public and governments are continuing.

                                       8
<PAGE>

Like most new technologies, we have been met with varying degrees of resistance.
We believe that there is a rising comfort level with our Plasma Converter System
technology, resulting in part from our educational and informational efforts.

Our business model and our market development strategies arise from our mission,
which is to change the way the world views and employs discarded materials. We
expect to achieve this objective by strategically marketing a series of products
and services emanating from our core Plasma Converter System technology that
could possibly produce saleable fossil fuel alternatives while possibly
providing a safer and healthier environment. We expect to implement this
strategy through sales of our Plasma Converter System with our providing
after-sales support and service, build own and operate/build own and transfer of
ownership facilities, joint development projects and engineering services.

Recognizing the increasing importance of alternative energy and power sources in
general, and hydrogen in particular, in 2005, we expanded our product line to
include StarCell(TM), a hydrogen separation technology. Working in conjunction
with the Plasma Converter System, StarCell provides what we believe to be an
environmentally friendly renewable source of hydrogen power.


Recent Developments

Renegotiation of Sales Agreement Payment Schedule-

On May 10, 2007, we entered into a purchase agreement with EnviroSafe Industrial
Services Corporation ("EnviroSafe") whereby we sold to EnviroSafe two 10
ton-per-day (rated capacity), or TPD, and one 5 TPD (rated capacity) Plasma
Converter Systems to process various solid, liquid and gaseous feeds, including
hazardous waste for a total purchase price of $19,275,000. On May 23, 2007, we
received a down payment in the amount of $1,927,500, or 10% of the purchase
price. The remainder of the purchase price was scheduled to be paid in
installments, the last of which is scheduled to be paid upon the issuance of a
certificate of completion following installation of the Plasma Converter
Systems. The Company received aggregate payments under this sales agreement of
$9,155,500 through January 31, 2009. As of January 31, 2009, payments
aggregating $3,373,250 were past due. There can be no assurance that these
payments or other payments contemplated by this contract will be made or that
the Company will deliver the Plasma Converter Systems covered by the contracts.
The Company understands that the delays in payment have been the result of a
combination of factors, including the relocation of the installation site for
the Plasma Converter Systems (as described below), changes to EnviroSafe's
business plans in connection with the relocation and the impact of the global
economic crisis on EnviroSafe's resources.

As described above, EnviroSafe elected to relocate the site of installation for
the Plasma Converter Systems from Barcelonita, Puerto Rico to a former Schering
Plough pharmaceutical industry facility located in Maneti, Puerto Rico, which
has resulted in delays in fabricating and assembling the Plasma Converter
Systems. The Company is completing those items in the fabrication and assembly
process that can be completed within the requirements of imposed reduced
resources. On December 9, 2008, the Company announced that EnviroSafe acquired
the new site where it plans to install the Plasma Converter Systems at its new
Recycling and Energy-recovery, Environmental Center. Representatives of the
Company have visited the new site and have been in discussions with EnviroSafe
about revising the contract to change the final delivery date and payment
schedule; however, the terms have not been finalized. The Company currently
expects the project to continue forward with a delivery date targeted for late
2009.

On August 10, 2007, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with a
customer for the purchase of a Plasma Converter System for an aggregate sales
price of $5,400,000. Through January 31, 2009, the Company received $1,350,000
in payments relating to this agreement. The balance of the purchase price is
scheduled to be paid in installments. On March 5, 2008, the Company agreed to a
revised payment schedule with the customer to extend the $540,000 payment
originally due on May 15, 2008. The Company has not yet received this payment
nor has this revised payment schedule been implemented There can be no assurance
that these payments or other payments contemplated by this contract will be made
or that the Company will deliver the Plasma Converter Systems covered by this
purchase agreement. Management has indicated that the Company is currently in
discussion with the customer with respect to a revised delivery schedule related
to past due payments.

On January 23, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with an entity, as
its exclusive distributor for the Republic of Slovenia, the Republic of Croatia,
the Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Republic of Serbia, the Republic of
Macedonia, the Republic of Montenegro and also the Republic of Austria,
effective February 1, 2009. The Company received a cash payment of $250,000 on
January 23, 2009 in connection with this agreement, which also requires the
entity to purchase certain Plasma Converter Systems during the following years
as a minimum requirement to maintain the possession of the distributorship
rights.

Results of Operations

Comparison of three months ended January 31, 2009 and 2008

Operations

Revenues. Total revenues were $0 for the three months ended January 31, 2009,
compared to $107,988 for the same fiscal period in 2008. During the three months
ended January 31, 2008, the Company recognized revenue of $32,988, related to
distributorship agreements that have now been fully amortized. Unamortized
distributorship agreements were $250,000 at January 31, 2009, compared to $0 at
October 31, 2008. The Company will begin to amortize the distributorship
agreement effective February 1, 2009.

Gross Profit. Gross profit was $0 for the three months ended January 31, 2009,
compared to $4,940 in the same period in fiscal 2008. Gross profit decreased due
to the Company not recognizing any revenue from the amortization of
distributorship agreements during the three months ended January 31, 2009.

Selling Expenses. Selling expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2009
were $178,858, compared to $191,644 for the same period in the prior year, a
decrease of $12,786, or 6.67%, primarily due to lower marketing and consulting
expenses.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses for the
three months ended January 31, 2009 were $47,543, compared to $51,115 for the
same period in the prior year, an decrease of $3,572 or 6.99%, primarily due to
a decrease in salary expenses.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the
three months ended January 31, 2009 were $746,512, compared to $1,214,733 for
the same period in 2008, an decrease of $468,221, or 38.5%. This was primarily
due to a decrease in professional fees including accounting, consultants, legal
and stock compensation by $466,510, from $648,042 to $181,532. In addition,
insurance, utilities, placement fees and related expenses increased by $60,430
from $61,932 to $122,362 during the three months ended January 31, 2009, and the
Company made contributions to its 401(k) plan in the amount of $95,088, compared

for the three months ended January 31, 2009 were $58,386, compared to $55,235
for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $3,151, or 5.7%, primarily
due to higher depreciation expenses on the equipment at our facility in Bristol,
Connecticut.


Other Income (Expense)

Interest Income. Interest income for the three months ended January 31, 2009 was
$8,993, compared to $107,352 in the same fiscal period in 2008, a decrease of
91.6%, due to lower cash balances and lower interest rates on our money market
investments.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the three months ended January 31, 2009, net cash used in operating
activities was $989,188, primarily due to a net loss of $1,022,306, offset by
$173,201 of non-cash charges. During the three months ended January 31, 2009 the
Company received $250,000 from a distributorship agreement. As of January 31,
2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $3,653,289 and a working capital
deficiency of $3,648,640.

Investing activities resulted in $15,692 of cash outflows during the three
months ended January 31, 2009 due to the purchase of equipment.


Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which
contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization
of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial
statements do not purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The
Company has no significant revenue, has suffered significant recurring operating
losses and needs to raise additional capital in order to be able to accomplish
its business plan objectives. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company incurred a net loss of $1,022,306 during the three months ended
January 31, 2009. For the three months ended January 31, 2009, net cash used by
operating activities was $989,188. As of January 31, 2009, the Company had cash
and cash equivalents of $3,653,289 and had negative working capital of
$3,648,640. The Company has historically obtained funds to operate its business
through the sale of equity and debt instruments, through the receipt of
installment payments in respect of sales of its products and through the receipt
of payments in connection with entering into distributorship agreements. During

the three months ended January 31, 2009, the Company received a payment of
$250,000 in connection with a Distribution Agreement from an entity relating to
the Republic of Slovenia, the Republic of Croatia, the Federation of
Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Republic of Serbia, the Republic of Macedonia, the
Republic of Montenegro and also the Republic of Austria. The Company has been
and continues to be dependent upon the deposits and installment payments from
the execution of distributorship agreements, sales of its products and sales of
its securities.

The Company's ability to continue to operate as a going concern depends on its
ability to generate sufficient revenue from the sale of its products, payments
in connection with entering into distributorship agreements and/or the receipt
of additional capital from one or more financing sources. Due to the fact that
the Company has been unsuccessful in consummating additional sales of its
products or otherwise raising additional capital, it has relied on a portion of
the funds the Company received as non-refundable customer deposits in connection
with the two sales agreements for products to cover operating expenses.
Management is continuing its efforts to sell the Company's products and to
secure additional funds through the receipt of additional capital. However,
there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to sell its products or
that the Company will be able to raise additional capital on terms acceptable to
it or at all. If the Company is unable to sell its products or raise additional
capital, the Company will be forced to utilize the remaining balance of its
non-refundable customer deposits to remain a viable entity and accordingly, the
Company might need to significantly restrict or discontinue its operations.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements.


Item 3. Controls and Procedures.
--------------------------------

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in the reports filed with the SEC is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in
the rules and forms of the SEC and includes, without limitation, controls and
procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the
Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated
and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
are responsible for establishing, maintaining and enhancing these controls and
procedures. They are also responsible, as required by the rules established by
the SEC, for the evaluation of the effectiveness of these procedures.

Based on their evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures,
which took place as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded
that these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the
"reasonable assurance" level. These controls ensure that the Company is able to
collect process and disclose the information required in the reports that the
Company files with the SEC within the required time period.

Our independent auditors have reported to our board of directors a matter
involving internal controls that our independent auditors considered to be a
reportable condition and material weakness, under standards established by the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. The material weakness identified
relates to our limited segregation of duties. Segregation of duties within our
company is limited due to the small number of employees that are assigned to
positions that involve the processing of financial information. Although we are
aware that segregation of duties within our company is limited, we believe
(based on our current roster of employees and certain control mechanisms we have
in place), that the risks associated with having limited segregation of duties
are currently insignificant.

Given this reportable condition and material weakness, management devoted
additional resources, including the engagement of an outside consultant, to
address disclosure issues during the three months ending January 31, 2009. As a
result, we are confident that our financial statements for the three months
ended January 31, 2009 fairly present, in all material respects, our financial
condition and results of operations. Management does not believe that the above
reportable condition and material weakness affected the results for the three
months ended January 31, 2009 or any prior period.


Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the three months ended January 31, 2009, there were no changes to our
internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
