Table of Contents

Note 1: Basis of Presentation

The following condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2008 has been derived from audited financial statements and the accompanying unaudited financial statements at September 30, 2009 have been prepared from the records of the Company, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2009, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

There is no provision for dividends for the quarter to which this quarterly report relates.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The results of operations for the three- and nine- month periods ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2009.

Certain amounts in prior year have been reclassified to conform to current year’s presentation. In the second quarter of 2009, the Company reclassified the portion of unearned revenues that are not expected to be earned over the next twelve months as a long term liability. The reclassification resulted in a decrease in current liabilities and an increase in other liabilities of $278,003 for the period ended September 30, 2009 and $288,836 for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Note 2: Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

ICOP Digital, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in April 1998 in Colorado as Bail Corporation. The Company changed its name to Vista Exploration Corporation in August 2001, and to its current name, ICOP Digital, Inc. in November 2004. The Company is engaged in the design, development and marketing of surveillance equipment and systems for use in the law enforcement, security and defense industries. The Company’s offices are located in Lenexa, Kansas.

Going Concern

The Company has incurred significant operating losses since inception and has limited financial resources to support its operations. Net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $2,899,119 and $3,324,663, respectively. Absent additional working capital or increased revenues, this would indicate the Company’s inability to continue as a going concern for a period longer than the current fiscal year. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the success of its future plans to sell its products internationally and domestically through its distribution networks and the anticipated positive impact of the economic stimulus plan within the US market. The Company plans to maintain its Purchasing Agreement, which allows the Company to borrow up to $5,000,000 for working capital purposes. The balance outstanding under the Purchasing Agreement as of September 30, 2009 was $542,190. Successful execution of these plans would mitigate conditions that are indicative of the Company’s inability to continue as a going concern for a period longer than the current fiscal year.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which implies that the Company will continue to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next twelve months.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-01 (formerly SFAS No. 168), “Topic 105 – Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – The FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. The Codification is the single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. The Codification does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to help the user understand how and why U.S. GAAP is changing and when the changes will be effective. All existing accounting standard documents are superseded and all other accounting literature not included in the Codification is considered nonauthoritative. The Codification is effective for interim or annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of ASU 2009-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Table of Contents

In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855 (formerly Statement No. 165), “Subsequent Events”. ASC 855 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued. ASC 855 is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. We adopted the new disclosure requirements in our June 30, 2009 condensed financial statements. The adoption of this provision did not have a material effect on our financial statements or related disclosures.

Note 3: Inventory

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. We take physical counts of inventories quarterly, and review the provision for potential losses from obsolete, excess or slow-moving inventories. The components of inventory, as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are as follows:

Note 6: Debt Obligations

On November 10, 2008, we entered into a purchasing agreement (the “Purchasing Agreement”) with a financing company (the “Purchaser”) for a term of 18 months under which we agreed to sell all of our accounts receivable at a discount of 0.75% (“Purchasing Fee”) from the face value of each invoice for every 30 days the invoice is outstanding. We are obligated to sell all of our receivables to the Purchaser, but the Purchaser is not obligated to purchase any receivables or to advance against them. The Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, advance up to 85% of the eligible accounts receivable outstanding for a maximum borrowing of $5,000,000. The interest rate on any outstanding advances to us will be 2.5% plus the greater of LIBOR plus 2.75% or the prime rate as published by The Wall Street Journal. In no event shall LIBOR be less than 3%. We are required to sell the Purchaser $2,400,000 in invoices each calendar quarter or pay the minimum Purchasing Fee for any shortfall. We are required to maintain a $5,000,000 tangible net worth at all times during the term of the Purchasing Agreement (the “Net Worth Covenant”). The Purchasing Agreement may be renewed annually after the initial 18-month term unless either party elects not to renew, or it may be terminated by the Purchaser at any time without cause on 60 days’ notice to us. On March 12, 2009, the Purchaser granted a waiver until June 10, 2009 with respect to the Net Worth Covenant. The Company complied with the Net Worth Covenant on or before June 10, 2009 and was in compliance as of September 30, 2009. The balance outstanding under the Purchasing Agreement as of September 30, 2009 was $542,190.

Under the Purchasing Agreement, the Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, advance us up to 50% of eligible inventory, not to exceed the lesser of (i) 40% of the outstanding advances under the accounts receivable financing or (ii) $750,000. The interest rate on any outstanding advances on inventory to us will be 3.5% plus the greater of LIBOR plus 2.75% or the prime rate as published by The Wall Street Journal. In no event shall LIBOR be less than 3%. The financing facility is secured by a security interest in essentially all of our assets.

On March 3, 2009, we renewed our $780,000 loan agreement with the Bank of Blue Valley by paying the principal down by $150,000 and entering into a one-year note for $629,985 in principal amount. The principal bears interest at 8%, payable monthly. The Company executed the loan agreement in order to purchase land on which the Company currently intends to construct a new corporate headquarters before its current lease expires on June 30, 2010. The loan is principally secured by the purchased land.

The revenues related to extended warranties are recognized over the life of the extended warranty, which begins upon the expiration of the manufacturer’s warranty, while the product warranty costs are expensed as incurred. The Company records estimated warranty costs that may be incurred above those associated with the deferred warranty revenues as an unfulfilled warranty liability. A summary of changes in deferred warranty revenue, which is included in both current liabilities and other liabilities, is as follows:

Note 8: Shareholders’ Equity

Public Offering

On June 5, 2009, the Company completed a public offering of units, generating gross proceeds of approximately $3,000,000. Each unit consisted of twelve shares of common stock and twelve non-redeemable Class B warrants. The public offering price of each unit was $4.60, and the Company received net proceeds of approximately $2,300,000. The Company used some of the net proceeds of the offering to pay off the bridge and demand notes, and believes the remaining proceeds will provide additional capital for inventory purchases and general corporate purposes. On June 16, 2009, we also completed the closing of 97,500 Units pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option which generated net proceeds of approximately $400,000.

Sale of Common Stock

During the first and third quarters 2009, the Company received proceeds of $16,870 and $14,245 in connection with employees purchasing 19,847 and 33,129 shares, respectively, of its common stock under the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Awards of Restricted Common Stock and Stock Options

The Company has granted to employees, consultants and directors shares of restricted common stock and options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock which vest in 2007 and future years. On June 16, 2009, the Company re-priced the stock options previously issued to employees, officers and independent directors. The exercise price of the options was reduced to $0.45, and there was no change in the number of shares subject to each option, nor any change in the vesting or other terms. As a result, the Company incurred approximately $78,000 in additional noncash compensation expense in June 2009. Stock-based compensation expense related to these awards of $341,044 and $501,000 has been recorded in the nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Note 9: Derecognition of Liabilities

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when the obligation is discharged, or cancelled, or expires. The Company recorded a gain on derecognition of liabilities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 of $52,765.

Note 10: Income Taxes

The Company records its income taxes in accordance with SFAS 109. The Company incurred net operating losses during the periods shown on the condensed financial statements resulting in a deferred tax asset, all of which was fully reserved; therefore, the net benefit and expense resulted in $0 income taxes. The recognition of these net operating loss carry-forwards depends on the ability of the Company to generate taxable income in the future.

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company had no changes in the carrying value of its tax assets or liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits.

Certain U.S. Federal returns from inception and following are not closed by relevant statutes of limitation due to unused net operating losses reported on those returns.

The Company’s policy is to record estimated interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes as income tax expense in the statements of operations. There has been no interest or penalties recognized in the condensed financial statements.

Note 11: Contingencies

On July 11, 2008, the Company was served with a summons and a complaint in which the Company and TriSquare Communications, Inc., a Missouri corporation (“TriSquare”), were named as defendants (a total of eleven defendants were named in this lawsuit) in a patent infringement action commenced by L-3 Communications Mobile-Vision, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (“L-3”). According to the complaint, which was filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, and with the United States International Trade Commission (ITC), the wireless microphone and related base station that TriSquare and its affiliates manufacture and import, and the Company incorporates into and sells as components of its ICOP Model 20/20-W product, infringe upon a patent held by L-3 covering a wireless microphone for use with an in-car video system.

In the ITC investigation L-3 failed to provide any expert opinion regarding infringement and did not produce any witnesses to testify on its behalf. On January 29, 2009, Mobile-Vision moved to withdraw its complaint with the ITC, and the ITC administrative law judge granted the motion.

On November 5, 2009 L-3 and the Company agreed to settlement terms in a mediation hearing that will result in the complete dismissal of the New Jersey case. The case will be dismissed with prejudice pending approval of the settlement agreement, which is expected within a few days.

Note 12: Subsequent Events

Second Amendment to Purchasing Agreement

On October 5, 2009, we entered into a second amendment to the purchasing agreement reducing the amount subject to the Net Worth Covenant to $2,500,000, which the Company is obligated to maintain at all times.

Registration Statement Form S-3 Filing

On October 16, 2009, we filed a shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-162556) with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register shares of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, debt securities and units with an aggregate offering price of up to $25,000,000. Under the shelf registration process, we may sell any combination of the securities in one or more offerings with an aggregate offering price of up to $25,000,000.

Registration Statement Form S-8 Filing

On October 16, 2009, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-162554) with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register an additional 2,500,000 shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2002 Stock Option Plan, as amended (the “Plan”). An increase of 2,500,000 shares available under the Plan was approved by our Board and our shareholders in June 2009 and August 2009, respectively.

L-3 Dismissal

As noted in the previous footnote, on November 5, 2009, L-3 and the Company agreed to settlement terms and the case will be dismissed with prejudice pending approval of the settlement agreement.

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

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008

Results of Operations

Sales

Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $1,945,231 and $2,720,296, respectively, a decrease of $775,065 (28.5%) due to a reduction in units sold. We believe that the reduction in units sold is mainly due to the economic downturn and the negative effects on the budgets of prospective customers.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $1,173,137 and $1,555,186, respectively, a decrease of $382,049 (24.6%). The decline is in relation to the decrease in units shipped. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 60.3% for third quarter of 2009 compared to 57.2% for the third quarter of 2008. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of sales was due to our summer special which began July 1, 2009 and ended September 30, 2009, offering promotional items with certain qualified purchases.

Gross Margin

Gross margin was 39.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to 42.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in gross margin for 2009 is primarily due to higher cost of goods sold due to our summer special which offered promotional items that were expensed to cost of goods sold.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were $2,146,831 and $2,808,868 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, a decrease of $662,037 (23.6%). The decrease is mainly due to lower compensation and benefit expense and professional services along with the decline in research and development projects and travel costs.

Table of Contents

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $1,950,190 and $2,482,823, respectively, a decrease of $532,633 (21.5%). The decrease is mainly due to lower compensation and benefits expense resulting from a decrease in employee headcount and increased cost savings measures implemented. The decline is also attributed to lower travel and entertainment costs.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $196,641 and $326,045, respectively, a decrease of $129,404 (39.7%). The decrease is the result of a decreased use of external consultants during 2009 compared to 2008 and the completion of product development for certain products.

Stock-based Compensation Expense

Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $93,206 and $296,000 respectively, a decrease of $202,794 (68.5%). The decrease is due to fewer options granted in the third quarter of 2009 compared to the third quarter 2008.

Other Income (Expenses)

Interest Income

Interest income was $25 and $3,097 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, a decrease of $3,072 (99.2%). The decline is mainly due to the decrease in invested cash resulting from the use of cash in operations.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $43,555 and $28,725 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, an increase of $14,830 (51.6%). The increase is due to the interest and factoring fees for advances on the purchasing agreement in the third quarter of 2009.

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008

Results of Operations

Sales

Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $5,795,227 and $8,366,244, respectively, a decrease of $2,571,017 (30.7%) due to a reduction in units sold.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $3,084,130 and $5,063,985, respectively, a decrease of $1,979,855 (39.1%). The decline is in relation to the decrease in units shipped. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 53.2 % for first nine months of 2009 compared to 60.5% for the first nine months of 2008. The decrease of cost of sales as a percentage of sales in 2008 was due to the ICOP EXTREME microphone exchange program that sold the wireless microphones at a discount to certain qualifying customers offset by the summer special program in the third quarter of 2009.

Gross Margin

Gross margin as a percentage of sales was 46.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to 39.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The increase in gross margin for 2009 is primarily due to higher cost of goods sold in the previous year as a result of the ICOP EXTREME microphone exchange program offered to certain qualifying customers along with higher server sales having a lower gross margin offset by the summer special program in the third quarter of 2009.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were $6,374,532 and $7,672,647 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, a decrease of $1,298,115 (16.9%). The decrease is mainly due to lower compensation and benefit expense along with the decline in research and development projects and travel costs.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $5,776,993 and $6,834,569, respectively, a decrease of $1,057,576 (15.5%). The decrease is mainly due to lower compensation and benefits expense resulting from a decrease in employee headcount year over year and increased cost savings measures implemented. The decline is also attributed to lower travel and entertainment costs.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $597,539 and $838,078, respectively, a decrease of $240,539 (28.7%). The decrease is the result of a decreased use of external consultants during 2009 compared to 2008 and due to the completion of product development for certain products.

Stock-based Compensation Expense

Stock-based compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $341,044 and $501,000, respectively, a decrease of $159,956 (31.9%). The decrease is due to fewer options granted in the nine month period for 2009 compared to 2008, offset by the additional expense attributed to the option re-pricing recorded in second quarter of 2009 for approximately $78,000.

Other Income (Expenses)

Interest Income

Interest income was $61 and $27,996 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, a decrease of $27,935 (99.8%). The decrease is mainly due to the decrease in cash and decrease in interest rates.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $140,908 and $55,795 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, an increase of $85,113 (152.5%). The increase is due to the interest and factoring fees for advances on the purchasing agreement in 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working Capital

On September 30, 2009, the Company had $172,000 in cash, $1,535,449 in accounts receivable, $2,110,768 in inventory, $1,846,916 in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $2,126,776 in current liabilities, for a net working capital of $3,538,357. In the second quarter of 2009, the Company reclassified the portion of unearned revenues that are not expected to be earned over the next twelve months as a long term liability. The reclassification resulted in a decrease in current liabilities and an increase in other liabilities of $278,003 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009.

Operating Cash Flows

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $2,899,119 compared to $2,528,996 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in net cash used from operations is mainly due to the decreases in inventory and accounts receivable in 2009 along with a lower net loss in the 2009 nine month period compared to the 2008 nine month period offset by increased deposits on inventory purchases.

Investing Activity Cash Flows

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $9,039, primarily for the sale and purchases of equipment, compared to net cash used of $424,398 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. In March 2008, the Company entered into a note payable with a bank for $780,000 to purchase land intended for future corporate location before its current lease expires on June 30, 2010.

Financing Activity Cash Flows

Net cash provided by financing activities was $2,977,773 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, primarily from the closing of our public offering, warrant exercises along with proceeds and collections from the purchasing agreement, compared to $1,467,391 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, substantially the proceeds from the line of credit.

Other Sources of Capital

On November 10, 2008, we entered into a purchasing agreement (the “Purchasing Agreement”) with a financing company (the “Purchaser”) for a term of 18 months under which we agreed to sell all of our accounts receivable at a discount of 0.75% (“Purchasing Fee”) from the face value of each invoice for every 30 days the invoice is outstanding. We are obligated to sell all of our receivables to the Purchaser, but the Purchaser is not obligated to purchase any receivables or to advance against them. The Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, advance up to 85% of the eligible accounts receivable outstanding for a maximum borrowing of $5,000,000. The interest rate on any outstanding advances to us will be 2.5% plus the greater of LIBOR plus 2.75% or the prime rate as published by The Wall Street Journal. In no event shall LIBOR be less than 3%. We are required to sell the Purchaser $2,400,000 in invoices each calendar quarter or pay the minimum Purchasing Fee for any shortfall. We are required to maintain a $5,000,000 tangible net worth at all times during the term of the Purchasing Agreement (the “Net Worth Covenant”). The Purchasing Agreement may be renewed annually after the initial 18-month term unless either party elects not to renew, or it may be terminated by the Purchaser at any time without cause on 60 days’ notice to us. On March 12, 2009, the Purchaser granted a waiver until June 10, 2009 with respect to the Net Worth Covenant. The Company complied with the Net Worth Covenant on or before June 10, 2009 and was in compliance as of September 30, 2009. The balance outstanding under the Purchasing Agreement as of September 30, 2009 was $542,190.

Under the Purchasing Agreement, the Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, advance us up to 50% of eligible inventory, not to exceed the lesser of (i) 40% of the outstanding advances under the accounts receivable financing or (ii) $750,000. The interest rate on any outstanding advances on inventory to us will be 3.5% plus the greater of LIBOR plus 2.75% or the prime rate as published by The Wall Street Journal. In no event shall LIBOR be less than 3%. The financing facility is secured by a security interest in essentially all of our assets.

On June 5, 2009, the Company completed a public offering of units, generating gross proceeds of approximately $3,000,000. Each unit consisted of twelve shares of common stock and twelve non-redeemable Class B warrants. The public offering price of each unit was $4.60, and the Company received net proceeds of approximately $2,300,000. The Company used some of the net proceeds of the offering to pay off the bridge and demand notes, and believes the remaining proceeds will provide additional capital for inventory purchases and general corporate purposes. On June 16, 2009, we also completed the closing of 97,500 Units pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option which generated proceeds of approximately $400,000. The Company’s 2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the 2005 ESPP) enables employees to purchase common stock from the Company at a 15% discount. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, 52,976 shares were sold resulting in proceeds to us of $31,115.

Our Capital Requirements

We have incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flow from operations since inception. We intend to utilize our new financing arrangement to supplement operating cash and fund operations in the near future. However, our ability to obtain sufficient advances under our new financing arrangement to meet our operating capital requirements for the foreseeable future may be dependent upon our ability to generate increased accounts receivable through higher sales volumes, which cannot be assured. We will need to become profitable in the near future through generating higher revenues or lowering operating costs, or a combination of the two, or raise additional capital or additional debt financing in order to sustain future operations. In June 2009, we completed a public offering of our equity securities and were able to generate approximately $2,700,000 in net proceeds (including pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option). However, there can be no assurances that we will again be able to sell our equity securities to the public in light of current market conditions and our financial condition.

On September 25, 2008, we received a deficiency letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market indicating that for 30 consecutive trading days our common stock had a closing bid price below the $1.00 per share minimum closing bid as required for continued listing. In accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, we were provided a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until March 24, 2009, to regain compliance with this requirement. On July 13, 2009, Nasdaq notified us that it was extending the suspension of the minimum bid price requirement even further until July 31, 2009; accordingly, we have until January 11, 2010 to regain compliance with the requirement. We can regain compliance with the minimum closing bid price requirement if the bid price of our common stock closes at $1.00 per share or higher for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during the suspension period or resuming after the

suspension period. If we do not regain compliance with the minimum closing bid price requirement during the initial 180-day compliance period, we will be granted an additional 180-day compliance period if we comply with all Nasdaq Capital Market initial inclusion requirements except the bid price requirement. If we do not regain compliance with the minimum closing bid price requirement during this second 180-day compliance period, Nasdaq will provide written notice that our securities will be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market. At such time, we are entitled to appeal the delisting determination to a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel. We cannot provide any assurance that our stock price will recover within the permitted grace period. There can be no assurance we will achieve profitable operations or generate sufficient cash from operations or from debt or equity financing to support our operations in the future.

We have no commitments for material capital expenditures.

Employees

We had 53 full-time employees at September 30, 2009, a 1.9% increase from December 31, 2008.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

 

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives, and management necessarily is required to use its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as of September 30, 2009 of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2009, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
