| Item                4. | Controls                and Procedures |
|------------------------|----------------------------------------|

|   | (a) | The                Company's management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief                Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness                of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2007.                The term “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Rules                13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and                other                procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information                required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files                or                submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized                and                reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.                Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls                and procedures designed to ensure information required to be disclosed                by                a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange                Act                is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its                principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate                to                allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management                recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed                and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance their objectives                and                management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit                relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation                of the Company’s disclosure control and procedures as of March 31, 2007,                the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer                concluded that, as of such date, the Company’s disclosure and procedures                were effective at the reasonable assurance                level. |

|   | (b) | No                change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined                in                Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during                the                three months ended March 31, 2007 that has materially affected, or                is                reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control                over financial reporting. |
