Independent Accountants' Report
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
American Capital Holdings, Inc.
Palm Beach Gardens, Florida
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of American Capital
Holdings, Inc. as of February 28, 2005 and May 31, 2004, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, for the three-month periods and the nine
month periods ended February 28, 2005 and 2004, the consolidated statement of
changes in stockholders' equity from June 1, 2003 through February 28, 2005, and
the consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine month periods ended
February 28, 2005 and 2004, in accordance with Statements on Standards for
Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants. All information included in these financial statements is
the representation of the management of American Capital Holdings, Inc.
A review consists principally of inquiries of Company personnel and analytical
procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in scope than an
audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, 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.

financial products designed to utilize tax incentives, and mitigate the impact
of balance sheet liabilities. The Company's main office is located at 100
Village Square Crossing, Suite 202, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida 33410, and the
telephone number is (561) 207-6395.
NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation, Use of Estimates
The Company maintains its accounts on the accrual basis of accounting. The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue and dividends from investments are recognized at the time the investment
dividends are declared payable by the underlying investment. Capital gains and
losses are recorded on the date of sale of the investment.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash consists of deposits in banks and other financial institutions having
original maturities of less than ninety days.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
It is the policy of management to review the outstanding accounts receivable
quarterly. At year end, the amount expensed as bad debt will be evaluated and
compared to prior years to establish an allowance for the year to come.
Depreciation
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciation is computed using
the straight-line method.
See accompanying summary of accounting policies, notes to financial
statements and independent accountants' review report.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Amortization
The accounting for a recognized intangible asset acquired after June 30, 2001
is based on its useful life to the Company. If an intangible asset has a
finite life, but the precise length of that life is not known, that intangible
asset shall be amortized over management's best estimate of its useful life.
An intangible asset with a indefinite useful life is not amortized. The useful
life of an asset to an entity is the period over which the asset is expected to
contribute directly or indirectly to the future cash flows of that entity.
Investments
Investments are stated at the lower of cost or market value.
NOTE C - NOTES RECEIVABLE

Total Minimum Lease Payments $ 38,255
Rent expense for the nine month period ending February 28, 2005 was $32,601
NOTE M - INCOME TAXES
No provision for federal and state income taxes has been recorded
because the Company has incurred net operating losses since inception. The
Company's net operating loss carry-forward as of February 28, 2005 totals
approximately $1,959,498. These carry-forwards will be available to
offset future taxable income, and begin to expire May 31, 2024.
The Company does not believe that the realization of the related net
deferred tax asset meets the criteria required by generally accepted
accounting principles and, accordingly, the deferred income tax asset arising
from such loss carry forward has been fully reserved.
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB Statement No.
109, Accounting for Income Taxes (FASB 109). Under FASB 109, income taxes are
provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial
statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related to
certain income and expenses recognized in different periods for financial and
income tax reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent
the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be
taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.
Deferred taxes also are recognized for operating losses and tax credits that
are available to offset future taxable income and income taxes, respectively.
A valuation allowance is provided if it is more likely than not that some or
all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

NOTE N STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
To facilitate the purchase of the assets of ACHI, the Company recorded a 1-for-
20 reverse split on the Effective Date of the currently outstanding
common stock, while maintaining the conversion and exercise prices of the
Senior Notes, the Secured Notes, the Subordinated Notes and the related
warrants. All prior period share and per-share amounts have been restated to
account for the reverse split. Any fractional shares remaining after the
reverse split will be paid out in cash to the shareholder on the Effective
Date.
Warrants were granted to Promissory Note holders with detachable warrants.
Management has determined that the fair value of each warrant is $0.01.
The computation of diluted loss per share before extraordinary item for the
nine-months ended February 28, 2005 does not include shares from potentially
dilutive securities as the assumption of conversion or exercise of these would
have an anti-dilutive effect on loss per share before extraordinary items. In
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, diluted loss per share
from extraordinary item is calculated using the same number of potential common
shares as used in the computation of loss per share before extraordinary items.
NOTE O - DEFERRED TAX ASSET
Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences between the
financial reporting and income tax basis of the Company's assets and
liabilities. Temporary differences, net operating loss carry forwards
and valuation allowances comprising the net deferred taxes on the balance
sheets is as follows:

NOTE Q - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations with
an effective date for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2002. The statement addresses financial accounting and
reporting for obligations related with the retirement of tangible long-lived
assets and the costs associated with asset retirement. The statement requires
the recognition of retirement obligations which will, therefore, generally
increase liabilities; retirement costs will be added to the carrying value of
long-lived assets, therefore, assets will be increased; depreciation and
accretion expense will be higher in the later years of an asset's life than in
earlier years. The Company adopted SFAS No. 143 at January 1, 2002. The
adoption of SFAS No. 143 had no impact on the Company's operating results or
financial positions.
The FASB also issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal
of Long-Lived Assets and is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning January 1, 2002. This statement addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment or the disposal of long-lived
assets. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of a long-
lived asset group exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flow expected to
result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset group. Long-lived
assets should be tested at least annually or whenever changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. This statement
does not apply to goodwill and intangible assets that are not amortized.
The Company adapted SFAS No. 144 in the first quarter of 2002. The adoption
of SFAS No. 144 had no impact on the Company's operating results or
financial position.

statements and independent accountants' review report.

NOTE Q - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS(CONTINUED)
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of the FASB Statements
No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical
Corrections"("SFAS No. 145"). SFAS No. 145 eliminates the requirement to
classify gains and losses from the extinguishment of indebtedness as
extraordinary, requires certain lease modifications to be treated the same as a
sale-leaseback transaction, and makes other non-substantive technical
corrections to existing pronouncements. SFAS No. 145 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after May 15, 2002. SFAS No. 145 was adopted on June 1, 2003
and did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.
The FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments
with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity" and is effective for
financial instruments entered into after May 31, 2003. This Statement
establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures in its
statement of financial position certain financial instruments with
characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer
classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability because
that financial instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. The Company
has adopted SFAS No. 150 and the adoption has had no impact on the Company's
operating results or financial position.
Goodwill and intangible assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001 will continue to
be amortized and tested for impairment in accordance with pre- SFAS No. 142
requirements until adoption of SFAS No. 142. Under the provision of SFAS
No.142, intangible assets with definite useful lives will be amortized to their
estimated residual values over those estimated useful lives in proportion to
the economic benefits consumed. Such intangible assets remain subject to the
impairment provisions of SFAS No. 121. Intangible assets with indefinite useful
lives will be tested for impairment annually in lieu of being amortized. The
impact of adopting SFAS Nos. 141 and 142 will not cause a material change in the
Company's consolidated financial statements as of the date of this report.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
HISTORY AND BUSINESS STRATEGY
History
The Company was incorporated in the State of Florida on January 25, 1999 as US
Amateur Sports Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of eCom eCom.com, Inc.
("eCom") which trades on the OTC/Pink Sheets under the symbol 'ECEC.' On March
24, 2003, the Company changed its name to USA SportsNet, Inc., and recently
changed its name to American Capital Holdings, Inc. in connection with its spin-
off by eCom and its acquisition of certain assets of a company formerly known as
American Capital Holdings, Inc. (now known as ACHI, Inc.) The Company's main
office is located at 100 Village Square Crossings, Suite 202, Palm Beach
Gardens, Florida 33410, and the telephone number is (561) 207-6395.
While a wholly-owned subsidiary of eCom, the Company developed an e-commerce
Internet infrastructure. This product provided an affordable, user-friendly
technological platform and professional resources to facilitate web business
development. It also operated an on-line business as a test model, using
Company developed e-commerce concepts to sell sports products.
The Company was one of ten wholly-owned subsidiaries of eCom, with varying
business plans. In recent years, eCom concluded that it did not have the
financial resources necessary to develop all of its ten business units
collectively. eCom decided to spin off its subsidiaries into independent
companies in the belief that independent companies, each with a distinct
business, would be better able to obtain necessary funding and develop their
business plans. This belief was based in part on eCom's experience with
potential business partners which sought involvement with only one of eCom's
subsidiaries, rather than involvement with the multi-faceted eCom.
On December 1, 2003, the Board of Directors of eCom approved the spin-off of the
Company. They voted to issue to the shareholders of eCom one share of the
Company for every one share of eCom owned as of the record date of January 5,
2004. Fractional shares will be purchased by the Company. No payment was
required of the eCom shareholders.
After the spin-off of the Company was completed, the Company was presented with
an opportunity to acquire certain assets of American Capital Holdings, Inc. (now
known as, and referred to hereafter as ACHI) On January 12, 2004, the Company
entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with ACHI whereby the Company acquired
certain assets of ACHI in return for the issuance of common stock of the Company
in an amount equal to 84.1% of the total ownership of the Company. In order to
accomplish this transaction, the Company effected a 20-to-1 reverse stock split,
which reduced its outstanding stock to 2,497,756 shares, and issued to ACHI
13,226,147 shares. The Company then changed its name to American Capital
Holdings, Inc., and ACHI changed its name to ACHI, Inc.
21
AMERICAN CAPITAL HOLDINGS, INC.
In addition, the Company agreed to reserve 25,000,000 of its authorized, but
unissued shares, for issuance pursuant to a public offering, and to issue
2,162,099 shares to Spaulding Ventures, LLC, or its shareholders, in replacement
of the shares of ACHI issued or to be issued to Spaulding in connection with a
prior acquisition of assets by ACHI from Spaulding (see "Acquisition of
Spaulding"). The proceeds of the public offering are to be used to acquire
additional interests in some of the companies in which the Company currently
holds an ownership interest, to provide capital to those companies, and to
acquire interests in other businesses of interest to the Company, which have not
yet been identified.
The assets acquired from ACHI consist primarily of approximately $10.8 million
of investment interests in ten developing companies (described below),
approximately $5.3 million of restricted securities, approximately $233,000 of
marketable securities, approximately $100,000 in cash, and proprietary
investment programs known as Energy Tax Incentive Preferred Securities
("ETIPS")and Guaranteed Principal Insured Convertible Securities ("GPICS") which
ACHI had developed and specifically designed to facilitate investment in oil and
gas exploration in the United States, and in developing companies. See the
American Capital Holdings balance sheet included in the Financial Statements
section of this report.
On December 30, 2003, prior to the Company's acquisition from ACHI, ACHI entered
into a letter agreement with Spaulding Ventures, LLC, pursuant to which ACHI
agreed to acquire all of Spaulding's assets in return for 2,162,099 shares of
ACHI common stock, plus warrants to purchase a total of 216,210 additional
shares of ACHI common stock at a purchase price of $6.00 per share. As part of
its acquisition from ACHI of the assets ACHI acquired from Spaulding, the
Company has agreed to replace the shares and warrants issued by ACHI with shares
and warrants of the Company. In order to facilitate the distribution of these
securities by Spaulding to its shareholders, the Company intends file a
Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering
the distribution to Spaulding's shareholders of both the acquisition shares and
the shares to be issued upon exercise of the warrants.
The assets acquired by ACHI from Spaulding, and subsequently acquired by the
Company from ACHI, consist primarily of equity ownership positions in the
following ten developing companies:
Smart Pill Holding Corporation Brilliant Roadways, Inc.
@visory, LLC eSmokes, Inc.
Efficien, Inc. IS Direct Agency, Inc.
Solid Imaging, Ltd. Century Aerospace Corporation.
Traffic Engine, Inc. Metroflex, Inc.

AMERICAN CAPITAL HOLDINGS, INC.
Business Strategy
American Capital Holdings, Inc. ("the Company") is a Florida Corporation whose
primary business consists of solutions offered by proprietary financial products
designed to utilize tax incentives for principal-guaranteed capital investment,
and mitigate the impact of balance sheet liabilities of unfunded government and
private sector post-employment benefit plans. The Company has ownership rights
of the trademarks for five proprietary products:
GPICSTM -- Guaranteed Principle Insured Convertible Securities
ETIPSTM -- Energy Tax Incentive Preferred Securities
ETICSTM -- Equipment Tax Incentive Convertible Securities
GPACSTM -- Guaranteed Pension Accounting Contract Solutions
GPACSTM -- Government Pension Accounting Contract Solutions
Our Chairman, Barney A. Richmond, has applied for a patent on the GPACS product,
and intends to assign the patent to the Company upon approval.
Our proprietary products use insurance as part of their investment structure.
For example, the GPACSTM uses a life insurance platform to structure the balance
sheet towards a more favorable financial portrayal of the business organization.
These insurance contracts will be written through licensed insurance carriers,
and underwritten through three subsidiaries of the Company: IS Direct Agency,
Inc.("ISDA"), Universe Life Insurance Company ("Universe"), and Cosmopolitan
Life Insurance Company ("Cosmopolitan"). ISDA and Universe are wholly-owned
subsidiaries of the Company, and Cosmopolitan will be a majority-owned
subsidiary of the Company, with the transaction expected to close in the second
quarter of 2005. The Company intends to conduct its primary business operations
through these three subsidiaries.
SUBSIDIARIES
IS Direct Agency, Inc.
IS Direct Agency, Inc. ("ISDA") was incorporated in the State of Florida on May
20, 2004. On May 21, 2004 ISDA acquired the assets of IS Direct Agency, Inc., a
New York Corporation. On May 21, 2004 an asset purchase agreement was executed
between American Capital Holdings and ISDA. ISDA is currently licensed in 33
states, but expects to obtain the necessary licenses to operate nationally.
Chris Dillon, President of IS Direct, is licensed as an independent agent in 49
states, and in the District of Columbia. In addition to term life, annuities,
and other traditional insurance products, IS Direct will offer placement for the
insurance components of our proprietary products. We anticipate most of the
insurance products sold by ISDA to be underwritten by Universe. We also intend
to sell the products of other licensed insurance carriers through ISDA.
Although ISDA currently sells primarily term insurance products, the acquisition
of Universe is expected to broaden the scope of its offerings.
23
AMERICAN CAPITAL HOLDINGS, INC.
Universe Life Insurance Company
Universe is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Company, pending change-of-control
approval by the Insurance Commission of the State of Idaho. Universe is a
life, health, and annuities insurance carrier currently licensed in 23 states.
Universe is in the process of obtaining licenses to operate in the remaining 27
states. We expect Universe to be domiciled in the state of South Carolina, with
principle offices in Charleston.
Cosmopolitan Life Insurance Company
On October 30, 2004, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with
Cosmopolitan Life Insurance Company to acquire 80% ownership of the entity. The
acquisition is expected to close in the second quarter of 2005, pending approval
by the Insurance Commissioner of Arkansas. Cosmopolitan Life Insurance Company
is a stipulated premium insurer, chartered in 1931 in the State of Arkansas.
Until 1998, Cosmopolitan was engaged exclusively in providing burial / final
expense insurance, and was operated as a small stipulated premium carrier in
association with the mortuary business. In 1998, Cosmopolitan broadened the
company's offerings to include a dental insurance product and specific stop-loss
coverage for employer self-funded plans. In recent periods, the majority of
revenues reported are a result of re-insurance assumed, although the dental
product has remained a small but profitable operating segment. Cosmopolitan
anticipates significant growth potential from the additional affiliations
resulting from the American Capital Holdings, Inc. acquisition.
Capital City Holding, Inc.
Currently, the company is in negotiations with a company known as Capital City
Holding Company, Inc. ("CCHC"), a South Carolina Corporation
PROPRIETARY PRODUCTS
Our GPICS(TM), ETIPS(TM), and ETICS(TM) products are investment structures
designed to utilize and maximize energy and equipment tax incentives, while
encouraging investment in oil and gas exploration in the United States, and
investment in developing companies. These products are characterized by the
guarantee of principal due to the structure of the investment.
Our GPACS(TM) product was created in response to General Accounting Standards
Board Statement 45 ("GASB 45"), which requires state and local governments to
account for and report the annual cost of other post-employment benefits
(referred to hereafter as "OPEB"), in essentially the same manner in which they
are required to account for pension obligations. This creates a liability on
the balance sheet which often misrepresents an entity's financial health in an
adverse manner. Our product is designed to structure an investment that offsets
the liability with an asset, and additionally, provides investment income and a
tax benefit when coupled with the proper treatment of employee's accrued income
(part of OPEB.)
24
AMERICAN CAPITAL HOLDINGS, INC.
Management's plan of operation consists of selling our proprietary products to
government and private sector customers for whom the product provides maximum
utilility, and underwriting the insurance element of the product through our
wholly-owned subsidiaries. We intend to use third-party insurance carriers,
but intend to retain commissions and premium payments within our subsidiaries.
We intend to use the financial products of our subsidiaries as solutions,
addressing the needs of governmental and private sector businesses regarding
unfunded pension liabilities and other post-employment benefit ("OPEB")
liabilities. We also plan to sell annuities and other insurance products,
through our subsidiaries, to both the public and private sectors. We also
intend to invest and/or sell our proprietary ETIPS((TM)) and ETICS((TM))
products in the public marketplace.
Our GPACS((TM)) products, which refers to both the Guaranteed Pension Accounting
Contract Solutions product and the Government Pension Accounting Contract
Solutions product, relate to a business method of adjusting the balance sheet of
a business or governmental organization, and particularly to a system for
organizing the unfunded obligations of the organization so that the liability on
the balance sheet becomes offset by an asset. The product also provides a
systematic investing capability to enhance the profitability of the organization
and the improved treatment of tax obligations.
GPACS was created in response to the General Accounting Standards Board ("GASB")
Statement 45, which generally requires state and local governmental employers to
account for and report the annual cost of OPEB and the outstanding obligations
and commitments related to OPEB in essentially the same manner as currently
required pension obligations. Annual OPEB costs for most employers will be based
on actuarially determined amounts that, if paid on an ongoing basis, generally
would provide sufficient resources to pay benefits as they come due. The
provisions of Statement 45 do not require governments to fund their OPEB plans.
An employer may establish its OPEB liability at zero as of the beginning of the
initial year of implementation. However, the unfunded actuarial liability is
required to be amortized over future periods. Statement 45 is effective for
periods beginning after December 15, 2006, 2007, or 2008, depending on the size
of the government entity based on annual revenues used for GASB 34
implementation requirements.
In May of 2004, the GASB issued a corresponding "plan" statement, Statement 43 -
Financial Reporting for Post-Employement Benefit Plans Other than Pension Plans.
Statement 43 is effective one year prior to Statement 45. This statement
requires a statement of plan net assets, statement of changes in plan net
assets, schedule of funding progress, and schedule of employer contributions in
the stand-alone financial reports of OPEB plans, as well as in the financial
statements of governments having OPEB trust funds.
Actuarial services will be required one year earlier if the "plan" Statement 43
is applicable, unless an alternative measurement method is utilized. However,
the alternative measurement method is only an option for plans with a total
membership of fewer than one hundred. Many OPEB plans are currently paying
benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis. If a government does not have an acceptable
trust or equivalent arrangement established, actuarial valuations will not be
necessary until Statement 45 is effective. Establishing a trust may be an option
25
AMERICAN CAPITAL HOLDINGS, INC.
for funding OPEB benefits; employers should consider the impact of required
actuarial services.
Our GPICS((TM)), ETIPS((TM)) and ETICS((TM)) products are each investment
structures designed to maximize the benefit of energy and equipment tax
incentives, in order to facilitate investment in energy related and other
business enterprises. An essential feature of these products is a guarantee of
the principal invested, as a result of the structuring of the investment.
Government Regulation
Life insurance companies are subject to regulation and supervision by the states
in which they transact business. State insurance laws establish supervisory
agencies with broad regulatory authority, including the power to:
* grant and revoke licenses to transact business
* regulate and supervise trade practices and market conduct
* establish guaranty associations
* license agents
* approve policy forms
* approve premium rates for some lines of business
* establish reserve requirements
* prescribe the form and content of required financial statements and reports
* determine the reasonableness and adequacy of statutory capital and surplus
* perform financial, market conduct and other examinations
* define acceptable accounting principles
* regulate the type and amount of permitted investments
* limit the amount of dividends and surplus note payments that can be paid
without obtaining regulatory approval.
Our life subsidiaries are subject to periodic examinations by state regulatory
authorities. The payment of dividends or the distributions, including surplus
note payments, by our life subsidiaries is subject to regulation by each
subsidiary's state of domicile's insurance department. In addition, dividends
and surplus note payments may be made only out of earned surplus, and all
surplus note payments are subject to prior approval by regulatory authorities.
Most states have also enacted regulations on the activities of insurance holding
company systems, including acquisitions, extraordinary dividends, the terms of
surplus notes, the terms of affiliate transactions and other related matters.
Most states have enacted legislation or adopted administrative regulations
affecting the acquisition of control of insurance companies as well as
transactions between insurance companies and persons controlling them. The
nature and extent of such legislation and regulations currently in effect vary
from state to state. However, most states require administrative approval of the
direct or indirect acquisition of 10% or more of the outstanding voting
securities of an insurance company incorporated in the state. The acquisition of
10% of such securities is generally deemed to be the acquisition of "control"
for the purpose of the holding company statutes and requires not only the filing
of detailed information concerning the acquiring parties and the plan of
26
AMERICAN CAPITAL HOLDINGS, INC.
acquisition, but also administrative approval prior to the acquisition. In many
states, the insurance authority may find that "control" in fact does not exist
in circumstances in which a person owns or controls more than 10% of the voting
securities.
Federal legislation and administrative policies in several areas, including
pension regulation, age and sex discrimination, financial services regulation,
securities regulation and federal taxation can significantly affect the
insurance business.
State insurance regulators and the NAIC are continually reexamining existing
laws and regulations and developing new legislation for the passage by state
legislatures and new regulations for adoption by insurance authorities. Proposed
laws and regulations or those still under development pertain to insurer
solvency and market conduct and in recent years have focused on:
* insurance company investments
* risk-based capital ("RBC") guidelines, which consist of regulatory targeted
surplus levels based on the relationship of statutory capital and surplus,
with prescribed adjustments, to the sum of stated percentages of each element
of a specified list of company risk exposures
* the implementation of non-statutory guidelines and the circumstances under
which dividends may be paid
* product approvals
* agent licensing

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of the Company's Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls:
Within the 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"). This 'evaluation'
("Controls Evaluation") was done under the supervision and with the
participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer/Chairman
("CEO")and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"). As a result of this review, the
Company adopted guidelines concerning disclosure controls and the establishment
of a disclosure control committee made up of senior management.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls:
The Company's management, including the CEO/CHAIRMAN and CFO, does not expect
that its Disclosure Controls or its 'internal controls and procedures for
financial reporting' ("Internal Controls")will prevent all error and all fraud.
control system, no matter how well conceived and managed, can provide only
reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. 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
28
AMERICAN CAPITAL HOLDINGS, INC.
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.
Conclusions:
Based upon the Controls Evaluation, the CEO/CHAIRMAN and CFO have concluded
that, subject to the limitations noted above, the Disclosure Controls are
effective to timely alert management to material information relating to the
Company during the period when its periodic reports are being prepared.
In accordance with SEC requirements, the CEO/CHAIRMAN 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.
