NOTE 2SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES





a)Basis of
Presentation





The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission for the presentation of financial information, but do not include all
the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. The audited
consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2008 were
filed on September 2, 2008 with the Securities and Exchange Commission and are
hereby referenced. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the
nine-month period ended February 28, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ended May 31, 2009.





b)Basis of
Consolidation





The
Company’s financial statements for the three and nine months ended February 28,
2009 are consolidated to include the accounts of The Hartcourt Companies Inc.,
the wholly owned subsidiaries Hartcourt China Inc., Hartcourt Capital Inc.,
Hartcourt Hi-Tech Investment (Shanghai) Inc., Ai-Asia Inc., Hartcourt Education
Investment Management Consulting (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., Shanghai Jiumeng
Information Technology Co., Ltd, Hartcourt Princely Education Technology
Development Company Limited, 60 percent owned Beijing Yanyuan Rapido Education
Company and 60 percent owned China Arts and Science Academy from the date of
acquisition. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.




9


c)Cash and Cash
Equivalents




The
Company considers as cash equivalents all short-term highly liquid investments
that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original
maturities of three months or less. As the Company’s business activities are
located in China, substantial amounts of cash are deposited in foreign banks
located in China, which do not carry deposit insurance similar to banks in the
United States.





d)Prepaid
expenses




Prepaid
expenses are expenses that are allocated into the period in which they are
incurred and in subsequent periods, and are amortized within one year
(inclusive). They include amortization of low-valued consumables, prepaid
insurance expenses, lump-sum payment for stamps in large amount that need to be
amortized.




Prepaid
expenses generally will be amortized in equal installments and charged as costs
or expenses of periods within one year. If certain prepaid expense item cannot
be amortized, its un-amortized amount is recorded as an expense for the current
period. Prepaid expenses amounted to $796 and $17,837 at February 28, 2009 and
May 31, 2008 respectively and are included in “Prepaid expenses and other
assets” in the accompanying financial statements.




e)Property and
Equipment




Property
and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the
straight-line method over useful lives of 5 to 10 years. The cost of assets sold
or retired and the related amounts of accumulated depreciation are removed from
the accounts in the year of disposal. Any resulting gain or loss is reflected in
current operations. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to
operations as incurred.




f)Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets




Effective
January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS
144"), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or
disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of,"
and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting
the Results of Operations for a Disposal of a Segment of a Business." The
Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be
held and used in accordance with SFAS 144. SFAS 144 requires impairment losses
to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of
impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated
by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amounts. In that event, a
loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the
fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be
disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values
are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review, the Company believes
that, as of February 28, 2009, there were no significant impairments of its
long-lived assets used in operations.




g)Income Taxes




The
Company utilizes SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires the
recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax
consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or
tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax
consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on
enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the
differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are
established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount
expected to be realized.




10


h)Stock-Based
Compensation




The
Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share Based Payment (“SFAS
No. 123R”), under the modified-prospective transition method on June 1,
2006. SFAS No. 123R requires companies to measure and recognize the cost of
employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based
on the grant-date fair value. Share-based compensation recognized under the
modified-prospective transition method of SFAS No. 123R includes
share-based compensation based on the grant-date fair value determined in
accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation, for all share-based payments granted prior to and not
yet vested as of June 1, 2006 and share-based compensation based on the
grant-date fair-value determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123R for all
share-based payments granted after June 1, 2006. SFAS No. 123R eliminates
the ability to account for the award of these instruments under the intrinsic
value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion
No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and allowed under the
original provisions of SFAS No. 123. Prior to the adoption of SFAS
No. 123R, the Company accounted for the Company’s stock option plans using
the intrinsic value method in accordance with the provisions of APB Opinion
No. 25 and related interpretations.




i)Foreign Currencies
Translation




Assets
and liabilities in foreign currency are recorded at the balance sheet date at
the rate prevailing on that date. Items of income statement are recorded at the
average exchange rate. Gain or loss on foreign currency transactions are
reflected on the income statement. Gain or loss on financial statement
translation from foreign currency are recorded as a separate component in the
equity section of the balance sheet, as component of comprehensive income. The
functional currencies of the Company are Chinese Renminbi and Hong Kong
Dollars.




j)Basic and diluted earning
per share




Earning
per share is calculated in accordance with the Statement of financial accounting
standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), “Earnings per share”. SFAS No. 128 superseded
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.15 (APB 15). Net earning per share for
all periods presented has been restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 128.
Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding. Diluted net earning per share is based on the assumption
that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or
exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under
this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning
of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained
thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during
the period.




k)Recently Issued
Accounting Standards




In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements”, which is an amendment of Accounting Research
Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 51.  This statement clarifies that a
noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the
consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated
financial statements.  This statement changes the way the consolidated
income statement is presented, thus requiring consolidated net income to be
reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both parent and the
noncontrolling interest.  This statement is effective for the fiscal
years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after
December 15, 2008.  Based on current conditions, the Company does not
expect the adoption of SFAS 160 to have a significant impact on its results of
operations or financial position.




11




In March
2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. The new standard is intended to improve
financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by
requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their
effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash
flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application
encouraged. The new standard also improves transparency about the location and
amounts of derivative instruments in an entity’s financial statements; how
derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under
Statement 133; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect
its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Management is
currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial
statements.




In May of
2008, FASB issued SFASB No.162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles”. The pronouncement mandates the GAAP hierarchy reside in the
accounting literature as opposed to the audit literature. This has the practical
impact of elevating FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts in the GAAP
hierarchy. This pronouncement will become effective 60 days following SEC
approval. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its
financial statements.




In May of
2008, FASB issued SFASB No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance
Contracts-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60”. The scope of the
statement is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance)
contracts. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 31, 2008. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact
its financial statements.




In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”. This
Statement replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. This Statement retains
the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition method of
accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method) be used for all
business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business
combination. This Statement also establishes principles and requirements for how
the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the
identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling
interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in
the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and c) determines
what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to
evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No.
141(R) will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the
acquisition date is on or after Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009.
While the Company has not yet evaluated this statement for the impact, if any,
that SFAS No. 141(R) will have on its consolidated financial statements, the
Company will be required to expense costs related to any acquisitions after
September 30, 2009.




On
December 30, 2008 FASB issued FIN 48-3, “Effective Date of FASB Interpretation
No. 48 for Certain Nonpublic Enterprises”. This FSP defers the effective date of
FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, for
certain non-public enterprises as defined in paragraph 289, as amended, of FASB
Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, including non-public
not-for-profit organizations. However, non-public consolidated entities of
public enterprises that apply U. S. GAAP are not eligible for the deferral.
Nonpublic enterprises that have applied the recognition, measurement, and
disclosure provisions of Interpretation 48 in a full set of annual financial
statements issued prior to the issuance of this FSP also are not eligible for
the deferral. This FSP shall be effective upon issuance. The Company does not
believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.




12




On
January 12, 2009 FASB issued FSP EITF 99-20-01, “Amendment to the Impairment
Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20”. This FSP amends the impairment guidance in
EITF Issue No. 99-20, “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on
Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continue to be Held
by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets,” to achieve more consistent
determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. The
FSP also retains and emphasizes the objective of an other-than-temporary
impairment assessment and the related disclosure requirements in FASB Statement
No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and
other related guidance. The FSP is shall be effective for interim and annual
reporting periods ending after December 15, 2008, and shall be applied
prospectively. Retrospective application to a prior interim or annual
reporting period is not permitted. The Company does not believe this
pronouncement will impact its financial statements.

Stock
Option Plan





In
November 2005, the Company adopted a stock option plan to attract and retain
qualified persons for positions of substantial responsibility as officers,
directors, consultants, legal counsel, and other positions of significance to
the Company (the “2005 Plan”). The 2005 Plan provides for the issuance of stock
options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock units, bonus stock,
dividend equivalents, other stock-related awards and performance awards that may
be settled in cash, stock, or other property. The total number of shares of our
common stock that may be subject to awards under the 2005 Plan is equal to
35,000,000 shares, plus (i) the number of shares with respect to which awards
previously granted under the 2005 Plan that terminates without the issuance of
the shares or where the shares are forfeited or repurchased; (ii) with respect
to awards granted under the 2005 Plan, the number of shares which are not issued
as a result of the award being settled for cash or otherwise not issued in
connection with the exercise or payment of the award and (iii) the number of
shares that are surrendered or withheld in payment of the exercise price of any
award or any tax withholding requirements in connection with any award granted
under the 2005 Plan. Unless earlier terminated by our Board of Directors, the
2005 Plan will terminate on the earlier of (1) ten years after the later of (x)
its adoption by our Board of Directors, or (y) the approval of an increase in
the number of shares reserved under the 2005 Plan by our Board of Directors
(contingent upon such increase being approved by our shareholders) and (2) such
time as no shares of our common stock remain available for issuance under the
2005 Plan and we have no further rights or obligations with respect to
outstanding awards under the 2005 Plan. Options granted under the 2005 Plan are
restricted as to sale or transfer.





The 2005
Plan was approved on November 23, 2005 during the annual shareholders
meeting.





The
number of shares of common stock reserved and available under the 2005 Plan was
increased from 35,000,000 to 70,000,000 at the annual meeting of shareholders on
February 24, 2007.

NOTE
9       INTANGIBLE ASSETS
  The
Company accounts for its intangible assets under the applicable guidelines of
SFAS 142 “goodwill and other intangible assets” and SFAS 144 “accounting for the
impairment or disposal of long lived assets”.  Where intangible assets
have finite lives, they are amortized over their useful life unless factors
exist to indicate that the asset has been impaired.  The Company
evaluates if the assets are impaired annually or on an interim basis if an event
occurs or circumstances change to suggest that the assets value has
diminished.  Under SFAS 142 intangible assets with indefinite useful
lives are required to be tested annually for impairment or whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets is measured by a comparison
of the carrying amount of the assets to future net cash flows expected to be
generated by the assets.  If the assets are considered to be impaired,
the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying
amount exceeds the fair value of the assets.  During the nine months
ended February 28, 2009, the Company recognized no
impairment.









At
February 28, 2009, intangibles consist of the following:

Overview




China’s
Education Markets




In 1986,
the PRC government implemented a system of compulsory education that requires
each child to have at least nine years of formal education. Chinese culture has
historically placed a strong emphasis on education. Because of the “one child”
policy of the PRC government, Chinese families are generally willing to invest a
substantial amount of their financial resources in their only child’s education.
According to the Economist Intelligence Unit, the Chinese disposable income per
capita increased at a compound annual growth rate, or CAGR, of 6.7% from 2002 to
2006 and will probably increase at a CAGR of 8.3% from 2007 to 2011. With
greater amounts of disposable income, Chinese families are spending an even
higher percentage of their disposable income on their children’s education.
Education expenditure as a percentage of GDP potentially will grow from 4.0% in
2005 to 4.5% in 2010, according to the China Education Human Resources Report of
2003.




China’s
education market is large and growing rapidly because of favorable demographic,
consumer spending trends and the increased importance placed on higher and
professional education.




According
to the Ministry of Education (MOE), 29 million students will reach college age
in the next 5 years, a 40% increase and a US$36 billion market. While
MOE-controlled universities and colleges still maintain dominant market share,
the field is now open for private and foreign investment capital. In addition,
MOE has set a timeline to privatize all vocational schools and educational
institutions that offer degrees lower than Bachelor by 2010.




22




According
to the China Statistical Yearbook (2007), in 2006, approximately 686 million
people in China were between the ages of five and 39. Ongoing urbanization has
increased the proportion of China’s population living in urban areas from 36.2%
in 2000 to 43.9% in 2006, as stated in the China Statistical Yearbook (2007),
and potentially will continue to increase. According to the National Bureau of
Statistics of China, average per capita annual consumption expenditures in urban
areas in China have increased, from approximately RMB4,998 ($712.8) in 2000 to
approximately RMB8,697 ($1,240.3) in 2006. Consumption expenditure on
education, cultural and recreational services accounted for 13.8% of total
annual consumption expenditures per capita in urban households in 2006, the
second largest category after food. We believe these demographic and consumer
trends are making people in China increasingly willing to invest in higher and
professional education.




China has
one of the fastest growing economies in the world. As China’s economy continues
to develop, its service industries are playing an increasingly important role.
We believe this will increase opportunities in the education markets as people
continue to seek advanced skills and professional licenses and
certifications.




In August
2006, after reviewing our business condition, competitive position, and
opportunities in China, we decided to change our business by focusing on the
education market in China to take advantage of the substantial market demand for
education services. We plan to not only acquire certain schools we have
targeted, but also to run these schools actively by putting together strong
faculty teams, incentive plans and strategic expansion programs.




On
May 15, 2007, we completed the purchase of 100% of the equity interests in
China Princely Education Technology Development Company Limited (“China
Princely”), an authorized accrediting organization for China vocational
education located in Beijing, PRC. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, we
paid to the shareholders of China Princely 5,400,000 shares of our restricted
common stock at closing. After closing, we changed the name of China Princely to
Hartcourt Princely Education Technology Development (Beijing) Co.,
Ltd.




On July
23, 2008, we completed the acquisition of 60 percent of the outstanding equity
of Beijing Yanyuan Rapido Education Company (“Beijing Yanyuan”) pursuant to the
terms of the definitive agreement entered into between the two parties, a
well-known training institution in China. Subject to the definitive
agreement between the Company and Beijing Yanyuan, the purchase price paid by
the Company in connection with its acquisition of a controlling interest in
Beijing Yanyuan was 69 million shares of the Company’s restricted common stock.
Beijing Yanyuan committed that its net profit would exceed RMB6 million
(US$827,000) for the year 2008, RMB10 million (US$1.379 million) for the
year 2009, and RMB14 million (US$1.931 million) for the year 2010. The
restricted common shares issued for the Acquisition will be released to
shareholders of Beijing Yanyuan in three installments based on the profit
realized over a three-year period.




On
October 31, 2008, we completed the acquisition of 60 percent of the outstanding
equity interests of China E & I Development Co. Ltd., which does
business as the China Arts and Science Academy (“China Arts and
Science Academy”), pursuant to the terms of the definitive agreement
entered into between the two parties. Under the agreement between the Company
and China Arts and Science Academy, the purchase price paid by the Company
in connection with its acquisition of a controlling interest in China Arts and
Science Academy was 40 million shares of the Company’s restricted common
stock. China Arts and Science Academy committed that its net profit would exceed
RMB5 million (US$735,294) for the first year in which its results are
consolidated with Hartcourt’s, RMB7.5 million (US$1.103 million) for the
second year in which its results are consolidated with Hartcourt’s, and
RMB10 million (US$1.471 million) for the third year in which its results are
consolidated with Hartcourt’s. The restricted common shares issued by Hartcourt
for the acquisition will be released to those shareholders of China Arts and
Science Academy whose equity interests were purchased by Hartcourt in three
installments based on the profit realized by China Arts and Science Academy over
the three-year period beginning on the date of Hartcourt’s purchase of 60% of
the outstanding equity interests of China Arts and Science Academy.

Three months
ended February 28, 2009 compared to three months ended February 29,
2008.




Net
Revenue:





Revenues
were $922,962 for the three months ended February 28, 2009 compared to zero for
the same period in 2007. The increased revenues were primarily due to revenue
generated by Beijing Yanyuan and China Arts & Science Academy,
two subsidiaries in which we acquired a 60% equity interest during the nine
months ended February 28, 2009. We currently derive revenues from the
following sources:




•
            educational
      programs and services, which accounted for 90% of our total net revenues
      as of February 28, 2009; and




•
            books
      and others, which accounted for 10% of our total net revenues as of
      February 28, 2009.





Cost
of revenue:




Cost of
revenues were $107,065 for the three months ended February 28, 2009 compared to
zero for the same period in 2008. The increased cost of revenue was primarily
due to costs of revenue attributable to the operations of Beijing Yanyuan and
China Arts & Science Academy, two subsidiaries in which we acquired a 60%
equity interest during the nine months ended February 28, 2009. Cost of revenue
consisted primarily of printing costs of books and other materials and relevant
business tax for income.




General and
administrative expenses:




General
and administrative expenses were $306,127 for the three months ended February
28, 2009 compared to $261,988 for the same period in 2008, an increase of
$44,139 or 17% compared to the three months ended February 29, 2008. The

due to the acquisitions of Beijing Yanyuan and China Arts & Science
Academy.

and amortization expenses:




Depreciation
and amortization expenses were $6,041 for the three months ended February 28,
2009 compared to $3,934 for the same period in 2008 or a $2,107 increase. The

exchange loss:




Foreign
currency exchange loss was $2,120 for the three months ended February 28, 2009
compared to $3,600 for the same period in 2008. The $1,480 decrease was mainly
due to RMB increase in value.

from Continuing Operations:




Income
from continuing operations for the three months ended February 28, 2009 was
$106,192, compared to loss of $269,522 for the same period in 2008. The income
increase was mainly due to revenue attributable to the operations of Beijing
Yanyuan and China Arts & Science Academy, two subsidiaries in which we
acquired a 60% equity interest during the nine months ended February 28,
2009.




Liquidity
and Capital Resources:





As shown

the nine months ended February 28, 2009, as compared to a net loss of $1,416,395
for the same period in 2008.





The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting
contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of
liabilities in the normal course of business.





The
Company has taken certain restructuring steps to provide the necessary capital
to continue its operations. These steps included:




●
            Look
      for growth opportunities through acquisitions of profitable education
      businesses;


●
            Raise
      additional capital through public offerings or private placements;

      measures to control costs and operating
  expenses.

Critical Accounting Policies and
Estimates





For a
description of what we believe to be the critical accounting policies that
affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of
our condensed consolidated financial statements, please refer to our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2008. There have been no
changes in our critical accounting policies since May 31,
2008.





Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures About Market Risk





Short-Term
Investment Portfolio




We do not
hold derivative financial instruments in our portfolio of short-term
investments. Our short-term investments consist of instruments that meet quality
standards consistent with our investment policy. This policy specifies that,
except for direct obligations of the United States government, securities issued
by agencies of the United States government, and money market or cash management
funds, we diversify our holdings by limiting our short-term investments and
funds held for payroll customers with any individual issuer. As of February 28,
2009, all our cash equivalents represent cash on hand and cash deposit in PRC
banks, the interest rate earned on our money market accounts ranged from 0.81%
to 1.71% per annum.




Interest
Rate Risk




Our cash
equivalents are subject to market risk due to changes in interest rates.
Interest rate movements affect the interest income we earn on cash equivalents,
and funds held for payroll customers and the value of those
investments.




27




Impact
of Foreign Currency Rate Changes




Because
we translate foreign currencies (primarily Chinese Yuans and Hong Kong Dollars)
into US dollars for financial reporting purposes, currency fluctuations can have
an impact on our financial results. The historical impact of currency
fluctuations has generally been immaterial. We believe that our exposure to
currency exchange fluctuation risk is not significant. Although the impact of
currency fluctuations on our financial results has generally been immaterial in
the past and we believe that for the reasons cited above currency fluctuations
will not be significant in the future, there can be no guarantee that the impact
of currency fluctuations will not be material in the future. As of February 28,
2009, we did not engage in foreign currency hedging activities.




Item 4.Controls and
Procedures





Evaluation
of disclosure controls and procedures





Our
management evaluated, with the participation of our chief executive officer and
our chief financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and our chief
financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are
effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that
we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in
Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.





Changes
in internal control over financial reporting





There was
no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during
the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting. We are aware that any system of controls, however well
designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, and not absolute, assurance
that the objectives of the system are met, and that maintenance of disclosure
controls and procedures is an ongoing process that may change over
time.
