Item 4.   Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

 

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosure.

 

The Company’s management, under the supervision of and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective, as a result of the material weaknesses discussed in the Company’s Form 10-K/A filed on May 2, 2005.  The Company performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure that the interim consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  Accordingly, management believes that the interim consolidated financial statements fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

Limitations on the effectiveness of controls

 

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with established policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

 

As disclosed in the Company’s Amendment No. 3 on Form 10-K/A filed on August 9, 2005, in connection with the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting as of December 31, 2004, the Company has implemented, or is in the process of implementing, the following remediation steps to address the material weaknesses discussed in the Company’s Amendment No. 3 on Form 10-K/A:

 

          The process of recognizing revenue related to maintenance and services has been redesigned to ensure more timely receipt of information from operational areas to ensure revenue is recognized in the appropriate period.

          New procedures have been established to address the tagging and tracking of fixed assets to ensure that property and equipment can be adequately accounted for.

          Controls related to the quarterly financial reporting process are being closely monitored to ensure they are operating as designed.  This material weakness was related to the third quarter of 2004.  Although the controls related to the review and approval of fourth quarter results did operate as designed, the controls have not operated for a sufficient period of time to demonstrate that they operate effectively.

 

In addition, the Company has added a number of additional personnel to its finance and accounting staff to ensure that all of the material weaknesses described above are appropriately remediated in a timely manner.  The additional personnel include a new Senior Director of Finance, a new Controller, a new Manager of Financial Reporting and a new Senior Staff Accountant, all of whom have strong public accounting and public company experience.  The Company believes that these remediation steps will correct the material weaknesses.

 

The changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our first fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting are described above.
