The Board of Directors
Metaline Contact Mines
Murray, Idaho 
 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of Metaline Contact Mines as of
June 30, 2004, and the related statements of operations, stockholders equity,
and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. These interim
financial statements are the responsibility of the management of Metaline
Contact Mines. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in
accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion
regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not
express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America. The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 were audited by
us and we expressed an unqualified opinion on them in our report dated March 5,
2004. We have not performed any auditing procedures since that date. Williams & Webster, P.S.Certified Public Accountants

METALINE CONTACT MINES
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004  NOTE 1  ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Metaline Contact Mines (hereinafter Metaline or the Company) was
incorporated in November of 1928 under the laws of the State of Washington for
the purpose of engaging in mining and the buying and selling of ores, metals,
and minerals. The Company was reorganized and recapitalized in 1960 and its articles of
incorporation were amended to expand its business purposes to include various
additional business activities. Metaline has continued its operations since its
formation and has historically acquired land, mineral rights, patented lode
mining claims, and timber in the Pacific Northwest. In the last quarter of 1996, Metaline transferred substantially all of its
assets to a limited liability company. See Note 4. The Companys year end is December 31. NOTE 2  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in
understanding the financial statements. The financial statements and notes are
representations of the Companys management, which is responsible for their
integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been
consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements. Accounting Method
The Companys financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of
accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity (hereinafter
SFAS No. 150). SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for classifying and
measuring certain financial instruments with characteristics of both
liabilities and equity and requires that those instruments be classified as
liabilities in statements of financial position. Previously, many of those
instruments were classified as equity. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial
instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise is
effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15,
2003. The Company has determined that there was no impact to its financial
statements from the adoption of this statement. In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (hereinafter SFAS No. 149).
SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies the
accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative F-8

METALINE CONTACT MINES
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004  NOTE 2  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
Instruments and Hedging Activities. This statement is effective for contracts
entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships
designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 is not expected to
have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of
the Company. In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation  Transition and Disclosure (hereinafter SFAS No. 148). SFAS
No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to
provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair
value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In
addition, the statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to
require prominent disclosure in both annual and interim financial statements
about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the
effect of the method used on reported results. The provisions of the statement
are effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December
15, 2002. As the Company accounts for stock-based compensation using SFAS No.
123, the adoption of SFAS No. 148 has no material impact on the Companys
financial condition or results of operations. Use of Estimates
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use
of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities,
revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled
transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements.
Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts. Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
short-term debt with original maturities of three months or less to be cash
equivalents. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts for cash, receivables, investments, accounts payable and
accrued liabilities approximate their fair value. All instruments are accounted
for on an historical cost basis, which, due to the short maturity of these
financial instruments, approximates fair value at June 30, 2004. Concentration of Risk
The Company maintains its cash in primarily one money market account, the funds
of which are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The
balance in that account was $100,187 and $105,687 at June 30, 2004 and December
31, 2003, respectively. Further, the Companys sole source of revenues
currently is royalty income received under a mineral property lease with Teck
Cominco American, Inc. See Note 6. F-9

METALINE CONTACT MINES
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004  NOTE 2  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Derivative Instruments
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133 (hereinafter SFAS No. 133), Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 137,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the
Effective Date of FASB No. 133, and SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain
Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, and SFAS No. 149,
Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,
the last of which is effective June 30, 2003. These statements establish and
clarify accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for
hedging activities. They require that an entity recognize all derivatives as
either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments
at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a
hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss
recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes
in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the
hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction.
For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is
recognized in income in the period of change. Historically, the Company has not entered into derivatives contracts to hedge
existing risks or for speculative purposes. At June 30, 2004, the Company had not engaged in any transactions that would be
considered derivative instruments or hedging activities. Investments
The Company accounts for its investment in Metaline Contact Mines, LLC using
the equity method. See Note 3. Compensated Absences
Currently, the Company has no employees; therefore, no liability has been
recorded in the accompanying financial statements. The Companys policy will be
to recognize the costs of compensated absences when there are employees who
earn such benefits. Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
Loss per share was computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of
shares was calculated by taking the number of shares outstanding and weighting
them by the amount of time that they were outstanding. Outstanding options have
been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share as they would be
antidilutive; accordingly, basic and diluted loss per share are the same. Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes royalty revenue as earned according to contract terms. F-10

METALINE CONTACT MINES
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004  NOTE 2  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Interim Financial Statements
The interim financial statements for the periods ended June 30, 2004 and June
30, 2003, included herein have not been audited, at the request of the Company.
They reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary to present fairly the results of operations for the period. All such
adjustments are normal recurring adjustments. The results of operations for
the period presented is not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full fiscal year. NOTE 3  INVESTMENT IN LLC On October 30, 1996, the Company organized a Delaware limited liability
company, Metaline Contact Mines, LLC (hereinafter The LLC). Upon organization
of The LLC, the Company transferred substantially all of its assets (primarily
real property surface rights and timber) to The LLC. At the time of The LLCs
formation, the Company was the sole managing member in The LLC, representing
100% ownership. In 1998, the majority of the Companys interest in The LLC was
expensed in connection with the sale of the majority of The LLCs assets. At the beginning of 1998, the Companys former shareholders acquired 93% of The
LLC by transferring their stock in the Company to The LLC in exchange for
non-managing membership interests. See Note 7. At the conclusion of this
share exchange, the Companys percentage of ownership in The LLC was reduced to
seven percent (7%). The Company wrote down its initial investment by 93% to
reflect its diluted investment in The LLC. After the write down of its
investment and net change in member capital during the year 1998, the value of
the Companys investment in The LLC was $45,440 at December 31, 1998. After the dilution of its investment in The LLC, the Company continued as the
managing member of The LLC. See Note 5. At June 30, 2004, the Company recorded a quarterly loss on its investment in
The LLC of $148
thereby reducing the Companys recorded interest in The LLC to $33,687. NOTE 4  MINERAL PROPERTIES In 1996, Metaline transferred timber and real property surface rights to The
LLC (see Note 3) but retained underground mineral rights to the transferred
real property and its mining claims, located in Pend Oreille County in
Washington State. The timber and real property surface rights were deemed by
management to have a value equal to their recorded cost and this cost was
transferred to The LLC. The related mineral rights are carried at no cost on
Metalines books. In 1997, Metaline and The LLC jointly leased certain Pend Oreille County real
estate and all related mineral rights to a major mining company. See Note 6. F-11

METALINE CONTACT MINES
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004  NOTE 4  MINERAL PROPERTIES (Continued) In January 2004, the Company issued 466,954 shares of its common stock to
Paymaster Resources Incorporated (hereinafter Paymaster), a related party
(due to common officers and directors), in order to acquire Paymasters
interest in the Gold Chest Mines minerals lease to patented mining claims in
Shoshone County, Idaho. In this transaction, the Company also acquired
Paymasters interest in an exploration agreement with New Jersey Mining Company
which relates to the aforementioned mining claims. Because there are no proven
and probable reserves, the Company recognized $37,765 of property expenses in
connection with this agreement. In June 2004, the Company received 10,000 shares of New Jersey Mining Company
(hereinafter NJMC) common stock in accordance with the terms of the
aforementioned exploration agreement. The agreement requires NJMC to pay
Metaline 10,000 shares of its common stock every six months for the remaining
two-year term. The Company recorded royalty income of $4,800 at the fair
market value of NJMC common stock. The terms of the agreement require the
owner of the real property to receive one-half of the royalty payments in the
form of rent. Accordingly, $2,400 has been recorded as an investment and
$2,400 as rent expense. NOTE 5  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS In March 2002, the Company advanced $18,000 on a short-term, non-interest
bearing, unsecured basis to Murrayville Land Company, LLC, an affiliated
company, to facilitate a real estate purchase. This receivable was repaid in
May 2003. During 1998, The LLC sold property for a net gain of $5,958,762. Metalines
share of this gain, before adjustments of the Companys investment from The
LLCs operating results and write down from its substantial decrease in
ownership of The LLC, was $507,858. See Note 3. The Company recorded a
non-current, related party receivable of $109,413 for the balance of
the distribution. Due to uncertainty as to the date this receivable will be
collected, this asset together with accrued interest at the rate of
7 percent per annum is recorded as a non-current asset at June 30, 2004 and
December 31, 2003. In June 1998, Metaline executed an agreement with Nor-Pac Limited Company
(hereinafter Nor-Pac), an affiliated company, wherein, for providing
management and consulting services to Metaline, Nor-Pac was entitled to receive
500,000 shares of Metaline common stock in the second half of 1998, 250,000
shares of Metaline common stock quarterly in 1999 and $10,000 per month
thereafter commencing on January 1, 2000. This agreement was modified with an
effective date of January 1, 2002, reducing the fee to $3,000 per month. A
further modification was made effective January 1, 2003, reducing the
management fee to $500 per month. As of January 1, 2004, the management and consulting services agreement with
Nor-Pac has been terminated. For additional information on related parties, see
Notes 3, 4, 6, 7 and 10. F-12

METALINE CONTACT MINES
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004  NOTE 6  MINING LEASE WITH PURCHASE OPTION On September 1, 1997, Metaline and The LLC acting jointly as lessors executed
an agreement with Cominco American Incorporated (hereinafter Cominco) wherein
Cominco received the right to explore, develop, and mine Metalines underground
mineral rights in Pend Oreille County, Washington for a period of twenty years
with an option renewal period of the same length. Under this lease agreement,
Cominco obligated itself to pay the lessors $3,000 per quarter for the first
five years of the lease with ascending quarterly increments at each successive
five year interval. The lease characterizes the aforementioned quarterly
disbursements as advance royalty payments which may be fully offset against a
three-percent production royalty retained by the lessors. The lease agreement
gives Cominco the option to purchase 200 surface acres of the leased property
for fair market value during the lease term. During 2001, Teck Cominco
Limited was formed, following the acquisition of
Cominco Limited by another mining company, Teck Corporation. The former
subsidiary of Cominco Limited, Cominco American Incorporated, was renamed Teck
Cominco American, Inc., and continues as lessee under the original Cominco
lease agreement. Effective March 15, 2002, the aforementioned lease agreement was amended,
thereby reducing the amount of acreage leased from the Company, and providing
for an approximately three percent (3%) decrease in royalty payments. From the inception of the lease through June 30, 2004, Metaline has received
$98,726 in payments from Cominco and Teck. NOTE 7  CHANGE IN LLC OWNERSHIP On June 1, 1998, Nor-Pac Limited Company (Nor-Pac) purchased control of The
LLC from its three principal owners at the time (Bunker Limited Partnership,
Hecla Mining Company, and Metaline Mining & Leasing Company) by acquiring these
entities non-managing membership interests in Metaline Contact Mines LLC. See
Notes 1 and 5. NOTE 8  INCOME TAXES Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting
pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting
for Income Taxes (hereinafter SFAS No. 109). Under this approach, deferred
income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of
differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial
reporting amounts at each year-end. A valuation allowance is recorded against
the deferred tax asset if management does not believe the Company has met the
more likely than not standard imposed by SFAS No. 109 to allow recognition of
such an asset. F-13

METALINE CONTACT MINES
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004  NOTE 8  INCOME TAXES (Continued) At June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the Company had a net deferred tax
asset of approximately $225,000 and $212,000, respectively, principally arising
from net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes, which were
calculated using a 34% tax rate. This resulted in an increase to the net
deferred tax asset of approximately $13,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2004. As management of the Company cannot determine that it is more likely than
not that the Company will realize the benefit of the net deferred tax asset, a
valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax asset has been established. At June 30, 2004, the Company has a net operating loss carryforward of
approximately $662,000, which will fully expire in the year 2024. NOTE 9  STOCK OPTIONS The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (hereinafter SFAS No. 123), which
defines a fair value-based method of accounting for stock options and other
equity instruments. This method measures compensation costs based on the
estimated fair value of the award and recognizes that cost over the service
period. On November 16, 1999, the Companys board of directors approved the Metaline
Contact Mines 1999 Stock Option Plan. This plan allows the Company to
distribute up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock shares to officers, directors,
employees and consultants through the authorization of the Companys board of
directors at an initial exercise price of $0.125, or $0.15, depending on the
terms of the option certificate. The options may be exercised until November
16, 2009, at which time they expire. The fair value of the options granted on November 12, 2001 was estimated using
the Black-Scholes Option Price Calculation. The following assumptions were made
to estimate fair value: the risk-free interest rate is 6.0%, volatility is 24%,
and the expected life of the options is eight years. Accordingly, $4,275 of
option expense was recorded in the Companys financial statements as consulting
and management fees. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standard No. 123
paragraph 115, this expense was deemed to be an estimate, subject to adjustment
by decreasing the expense in the period of forfeiture. As of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the Company had 1,125,000 options
outstanding and exercisable at an average of $0.13 per share of common stock. F-14

METALINE CONTACT MINES
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004  NOTE 10  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES All earnings from The LLC in 1997 and 1996 were attributed by The LLCs
principal owners to Metaline. Accordingly, Metaline reported these earnings as
its own taxable income (on both Metalines and The LLCs federal income tax
returns) with Metaline retaining only a 6.9861% interest in The LLC. For
calendar years 1998 through 2003, Metaline reported only its pro rata share
(6.9861%) of taxable income from The LLC, with other LLC members reporting
their respective share of LLC taxable income. The LLC has agreed, in writing, to indemnify Metaline for any prior year income
distributions requested by other LLC members. As of June 30, 2004, no cash or
property distributions were made by the LLC to its members for indemnification
purposes. In view of the ownership changes in The LLC, future distributions are
expected to be made by The LLC to its members as determined from time to time
by Metaline, its managing member. See Note 7 regarding a change in LLC
ownership and see Note 5 regarding related party commitment. F-15

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations  Results of OperationsThe Company had revenues from operations of $8,680 in the second quarter
of 2004, versus $3,880 in the second quarter of 2003. The increase in
revenues is attributable to the additional royalty income of $4,800
received by New Jersey Mining Company because of the Companys 1st
quarter acquisition of the Golden Chest Mine lease, and associated
exploration agreements with New Jersey Mining. The additional income was
paid in 10,000 shares of New Jersey Mining common stock, which is subject
to Rule 144. The Company discounted the value of the New Jersey stock by
20% to reflect the resale restrictions associated with Rule 144. The
Company experienced an increased operating loss of $5,992 in the second
quarter of 2004, versus $3,926 in the second quarter of 2003. The
increased loss, $2,066, in the second quarter of 2004 was due primarily
to increased transfer agent fees associated with changing transfer agents
in the second quarter of 2004.There was a decrease in management and consulting fees to nil in the
second quarter of 2004, versus $1,500 in the second quarter of 2003. The
decrease was a result of the termination of the Agreement For Management
and Consulting Services with Nor-Pac Limited Company on January 1, 2004.
Professional fees, consisting of legal and accounting, were $6,381 in the
second quarter of 2004, versus $3,140 in the second quarter of 2003. The
increase, $3,241, was due to the billing cycle of the Companys auditors.
Administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2004 were $8,291,
versus $3,166 during the second quarter of 2003. The difference, $5,125,
is attributable to higher SEC filing expenses, lease payments under the
Golden Chest Mine lease, and the increase in transfer agent fees
previously discussed.During the second quarter of 2004, the Companys other income increased
by $89, to $1,825 from $1,736, due mostly to a reduced loss in its
investment in Metaline Contact Mines LLC (MCMLLC).Financial ConditionThe Company can continue at its current level of operations for 2
additional years without the necessity of additional capital.
Professional fees (auditing/accounting), and related administrative costs
associated SEC reporting requirements, are the Companys most significant
expenses. Thereafter, the Company may require additional capital.
Additional capital could be obtained from increased revenues from
operations, and/or the sale of shares of the Companys authorized, but
unissued, common stock.Any production decision on the Companys mineral rights and properties
that could significantly increase its revenues is under the sole
discretion and control of Teck Cominco American and New Jersey Mining.
Further, there are no assurances that the Company would be able to sell
shares of its common stock on terms acceptable to the Company. Any such
sales of shares could be dilutive to the Companys then-existing
shareholders, and any debt financings could involve restrictive covenants
with respect to future capital raising activities, and other financial
and operational matters.Presently there are no trends, events or uncertainties that have, or are
reasonably likely to have, a material impact on the Companys short-term
or long-term liquidity; there are no material commitments for capital
expenditures, except for the management of its own business affairs; and
there are no known trends, events or uncertainties that have or that are
reasonably expected to have a material impact on the revenues from
operations. -3-

Liquidity and Capital ResourcesHistorically, the Company has funded its capital requirements from
revenues from operations, interest earned on its cash accounts, and other
income. As of June 30, 2004, the Companys cash position was $100,187,
compared to $ 117,181 on June 30, 2003.The Company has no debt. The Company does not expect to incur any
debt in the immediate future to expand its current level of operations.
The Company has no financial obligations under the New Cominco Lease, the
Golden Chest Lease, or the New Jersey Exploration Agreement. Its most
significant cash requirements are accounting fees and other expenses
associated with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission reporting
requirements. The Company has a related party receivable from MCMLLC in
the amount of $109,413, with accrued interest of $26,807, as of June 30,
2004. As the Managing Member of MCMLLC, the Company believes it has the
ability to collect on this receivable in the event of a shortfall of
cash. In addition, the Company will receive a 5% NSR royalty payment
from New Jersey Mining Company for development ore stockpiled at the
Golden Chest Mine. The amount of the royalty will not be determined
until the 3rd or 4th quarter of 2004 when the ore is processed, and the
concentrates are sold.Based on the foregoing, it is managements opinion that at its current
level of operations the Company can satisfy its working capital
requirements internally in the immediate future without the need to seek
outside sources of equity or debt funding. 
 Item 3. Controls and Procedures Annual Evaluations of the Companys Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls. Within 90 days prior to the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB, the
Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its
disclosure controls and procedures (Disclosure Controls), and its internal
controls and procedures for financial reporting (Internal Controls). This
evaluation (the Controls Evaluation) was done under the supervision and with
the participation of management, including the Companys Chief Executive
Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Rules adopted by the SEC
require that in this section of the Quarterly Report the Company present the
conclusions of the CEO and the CFO about the effectiveness of its Disclosure
Controls and Internal Controls based on and as of the date of the Controls
Evaluation. CEO and CFO Certifications. Appearing immediately following the Signatures section of this Quarterly Report
there are two separate forms of Certifications of the CEO and the CFO. The
first form of Certification is required in accord with Section 302 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Section 302 Certification). This section of
the Quarterly Report, which you are currently reading, is the information
concerning the Controls Evaluation referred to in the Section 302
Certifications and this information should be read in conjunction with the
Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics
presented. Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls. Disclosure Controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of
ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), such as this Quarterly
Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and forms.
Disclosure Controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such
information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the
CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. Internal Controls are procedures, which are designed with the
objective of providing reasonable -4-

##### Table of Contents



assurance that the Companys (1) transactions are properly authorized; (2)
assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use; and (3)
transactions are properly recorded and reported, all to permit the preparation
of our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Limitations of the Effectiveness of Controls. The Companys management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that its
Disclosure Controls or its Internal Controls will prevent all error and all
fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can
provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the
control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect
the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must
be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in
all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance
that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have
been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments
in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of
simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the
individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by
management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also
is based in part upon 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; over time, control may
become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent
limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or
fraud may occur and not be detected. Scope of the Controls Evaluation. The CEO/CFO evaluation of the Companys Disclosure Controls and our Internal
Controls include a review of the controls objectives and design, the controls
implementation by the Company and the effect of the controls on the
information generated for use in this Quarterly Report. In the course of the
Controls Evaluation, management sough to identify data errors, controls
problems or acts of fraud and to confirm that appropriate corrective action,
including process improvements, were being undertaken. This type of evaluation
will be done on a quarterly basis so that the conclusions concerning controls
effectiveness can be reported in the Companys Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB
and Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. Its independent auditors in connection with
their audit and review activities also evaluate the Companys Internal Controls
on an on-going basis. The overall goals of these various evaluation activities
are to monitor our Disclosure Controls and our Internal Controls and make
modifications as necessary; our intent in this regard is that the Disclosure
Controls and the Internal Controls will be maintained as dynamic systems that
change (including the improvements and corrections) as conditions warrant. Among other matters, the Company sought in its evaluation to determine whether
there were any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the
Companys Internal Controls, or whether the Company had identified any acts of
fraud involving personnel who have a significant role in the Companys Internal
Controls. This information was important both for the Controls Evaluation
generally and because items 5 and 6 in the Section 302 Certifications of the
CEO and CFO require that the CEO and CFO disclose that information to our
Boards Audit Committee and to our independent auditors and to report on
related matters in this section of the Annual Report. In the professional
auditing literature, significant deficiencies are referred to as reportable
conditions; these are control issues that could have a significant adverse
effect on the ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data
in the financial statements. A material weakness is defined in the auditing
literature as a particularly serious condition where the internal control does
not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements caused by
error or fraud may occur in amounts that would be material in relation to the
financial statements and may not be detected within a timely period by
employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. The
Company also sought to deal with other controls matters in the Controls
Evaluation, and in each case if a problem was identified, management considered
what revision, improvement and/or correction to make in accord with our
on-going procedures. -5-

##### Table of Contents



In accord with SEC requirements, the CEO and CFO note that, since the date of
the Controls Evaluation to the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been
no significant changes in Internal Controls or in other factors that could
significantly affect Internal Controls, including any corrective actions with
regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses. Conclusions. Based upon the Controls Evaluation, the Companys CEO and CFO have concluded
that, subject to the limitations noted above, its Disclosure Controls are
effective to ensure that material information relating to the Company is made
known to management, including the CEO and CFO, particularly during the period
when its periodic reports are being prepared, and that its Internal Controls
are effective to provide reasonable assurance that the Companys financial
statements are fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
