SELECTED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.
Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for Positron Corporation (the “Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2005. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, as reported in the Form 10-KSB, have been omitted.

2.
Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

Revenues from POSICAMTM system contracts are recognized when all significant costs have been incurred and the system has been shipped to the customer. Revenues from maintenance contracts are recognized over the term of the contract. Service revenues are recognized upon performance of the services.

Stock-Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006 the Company adopted the revision to SFAS 123 (“SFAS 123R”), “Share-Based Payment”, that focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions utilizing the modified prospective method. This statement replaces SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. SFAS 123R requires companies to expense the fair value of employee stock options and similar awards.

3.
Going Concern

Since its inception, the Company has been unable to sell POSICAM™ systems in quantities sufficient to be operationally profitable. Consequently, the Company has sustained substantial losses. At June 30, 2006, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $66,510,000 and a stockholders’ deficit of $4,627,000. Due to the sizable prices of the Company’s systems and the limited number of systems sold or placed in service each year, the Company’s revenues have fluctuated significantly from year to year.

The Company utilized net proceeds of $1,096,000 from the issuance of Series G Preferred Stock and $1,080,000 in net proceeds from subordinated notes payable to fund its operating activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2006. As a result, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $248,000 at June 30, 2006. At the same date, the Company had accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1,673,000. In addition, debt service and working capital requirements for the upcoming year may reach beyond current cash balances. The Company plans to continue to raise funds as required through equity and debt financings to sustain business operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in implementing its business plan and ultimately achieving operational profitability. The Company’s long-term viability as a going concern is dependent on its ability to 1) achieve adequate profitability and cash flows from operations to sustain its operations, 2) control costs and expand revenues from existing or new business and 3) meet current commitments and fund the continuation of its business operation in the near future.

Investment in Joint Ventures
 
Neusoft Positron Medical Systems Co. Ltd.
 
The Company has entered into a joint venture with a Chinese company for the production of its PET scanners. On June 30, 2005 the Company entered into a Joint Venture Contract with Neusoft Medical Systems Co., Inc. of Shenyang, Lianoning Province, People's Republic of China ("Neusoft"). Pursuant to the Joint Venture Contract the parties formed a jointly-owned company, Neusoft Positron Medical Systems Co., Ltd. (the "JV Company"), to engage in the manufacturing of PET and CT/PET medical imaging equipment. The JV Company received its business license and was organized in September 2005.

The Company and Neusoft are active in researching, developing, manufacturing, marketing and/or selling Positron Emission Tomography ("PET") technology and both parties seek to mutually benefit from each other's strengths, and intend to cooperate in the research, development and manufacturing of PET technology. The purpose and scope of the JV Company's technology business is to research, develop and manufacture Positron Emission Tomography systems (PET), and an integrated X-ray Computed Tomography system (CT) and PET system (PET/CT), and to otherwise provide relevant technical consultation and services.
  
The parties to the joint venture contributed an aggregate of US $2,000,000 in capital contributions. Neusoft contributed US$ 1,350,000 to the JV Company for the issuance of 67.5% of the JV Company's capitalization. The Company  contributed US$ 650,000 to the JV Company, of which US$ 250,000 was made in cash, and US$ 400,000 was made in the form of a technology license for the issuance of 32.5% of the JV Company's capitalization. The Company has transferred to the JV Company certain of its PET technology, while Neusoft made available to the JV Company certain CT technology for the development and production of an integrated PET/CT system. The parties will share the profits, losses and risks of the JV Company in proportion to and, in the event of losses, to the extent of their respective contributions to the registered capital of the JV Company.

Quantum Molecular Technologies Joint Venture

On May 8, 2006, the Company amended certain aspects of the Quantum Molecular Technologies Joint Venture (“QMT”) formed with Quantum Molecular Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and IMAGIN Diagnostic Centres, Inc. on December 28, 2005. QMT is developing certain next generation technologies including PET-enabled surgical tools and solid-state photo detector technology, which have implications in both molecular imaging and PET and could have further application in the military and aerospace segments. The first solid-state detector technology patent application has been filed by QMT.

Whereas the Company originally held 20% of the interests of QMT, Quantum and IMAGIN assigned 100% of their interests in QMT to the Company. Additionally, the investment amount Quantum and IMAGIN originally committed to in the amount of $4,000,000 was restated to $2,400,000 to reflect the assignment of the QMT interests and participation by the Company in the IPT joint venture and subsequent financing. The investment will be in the form of installment payments, the first of which is due on October 1, 2006. In exchange for the assignment of QMT interests and the investments, the Company will issue Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, convertible into 345,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Quantum and IMAGIN, pro rata. The installment payments are secured by the pledge of the Series B, which have not yet been issued by the Company

In January 2006, the Company received the final $100,000 installment of funds from the October 31, 2005 sale of $400,000 worth of 10% convertible promissory notes to IMAGIN Diagnostic Centres, Inc.

On March 17, 2006, IMAGIN Diagnostic Centres, Inc. assigned to Positron Acquisition Corp. its interest in 770,000 shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock, 4,026,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and the Company’s secured convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $696,850, which are convertible into 696,850 shares of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock and in turn are convertible into 27,874,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Stockholders’ Equity

The Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, Gary H. Brooks, exercised options for the purchase of 500,000 shares of common stock in the first quarter of 2006. The exercise of these options resulted in an increase in stockholders’ equity and a decrease in the severance obligation (Note 7) by $25,000.

The Company cancelled subscriptions receivable totaling $30,000 that were due from a former Director and a former Chief Executive Officer. Cancellation of the subscriptions receivable reduced additional paid-in capital.

At the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held May 18, 2006, the shareholders of the Company approved an amendment and restatement to the Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 800,000,000.
 
10.
Series G Preferred Stock
 
During the three months ended June 30, 2006, the Company issued 204,482 Units in a private placement. Each Unit consists of one share of a new series of preferred stock designated Series G Preferred Stock and a warrant exercisable for 50 shares of common stock (the "Units"). The purchase price was $5.50 per Unit, with $5.00 of the Unit purchase price allocated to the purchase of the share of Series G Preferred Stock and $0.50 allocated to the purchase of the warrant, for a total offering amount of $1,124,650. The net proceeds of the private placement were approximately $1,096,000.
 
Each share of Series G Preferred Stock is convertible into 100 shares of common stock. Eight percent dividends accrue on the Series G Preferred Stock and may be paid in cash or in Common Stock in the Company's discretion. The Series G Preferred Stock is senior to the Company's common stock and junior in priority to the Registrant's Series A, C, D, E and F Preferred Stock in liquidation. Except as required by law and in the case of various actions affecting the rights of the Series G Preferred Stock, holders of the Series G Preferred Stock are not entitled to vote on matters requiring shareholder vote. While the Series G Preferred Stock is outstanding or any dividends thereon remain unpaid, no common stock dividends may be paid or declared by the Company. The Series G Preferred Stock may be redeemed in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, at any time at a price of $5.00 per share plus any undeclared and/or unpaid dividends to the date of redemption. 

11.
Secured Convertible Notes Payable

Pursuant to the terms of a Security Agreement and a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Agreements”) dated May 23, 2006, the Company agreed to issue to private investors (the “Investors”) callable secured convertible notes (the “Debentures”) in the amount of $2,000,000, with interest at the rate of 6% annually. The Debentures are convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at the product of the “Applicable Percentage” and the average of the lowest three (3) trading prices for the common stock during the twenty (20) day period prior to conversion. Applicable Percentage is 50%; provided, however that the percentage shall be increased to (i) 55% in the event that a Registration Statement is filed within thirty days of the closing of the transaction and (ii) 65% in the event the Registration Statement becomes effective within one hundred and twenty days of the closing of the transaction. The notes also contain antidilutive provisions for pricing. The Company filed a Registration Statement on June 20, 2006. The Company may repay principal and interest in cash in the event that the price of the Company’s Common Stock is below $0.20 on the last business day of a month (at amounts ranging from 120% to 140% based on the timing). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreements, the Company issued to the Investors warrants to purchase 30,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.15 per share. These warrants are exercisable seven (7) years from the closing of the transaction.

 
 FORM 10-QSB
 JUNE 30, 2006
On May 23, 2006 the Company issued Debentures in the amount of $700,000 with a maturity date of May 23, 2009. On June 21, 2006 the Company issued Debentures in the amount of $600,000 with a maturity date of June 21, 2009. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreements, the Company shall issue Debentures and receive the third traunch in the amount of $700,000 when the Registration Statement is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Legal and other fees incurred in conjunction with the Debentures issued on May 23, 2006 and June 21, 2006 were $130,000 and $90,000, respectively and are being amortized over the maturity periods of the Debentures.

As a result of the beneficial conversion features contained in the Convertible Debentures, the derivatives embedded in the Debentures have been classified as derivative liabilities. Fair value of the embedded derivatives is determined using the Black Sholes Valuation Method. The combined liabilities recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 totaled $2,268,000. Of such amount, $380,600 was recorded as debt discount and is being amortized over the term of the Debentures and $1,887,000 was immediately charged to loss on derivative obligations during the three months ended June 30, 2006. Additionally, the Company recorded a discount of $919,400 against the Convertible Debentures for the fair market value of the warrants issued. The discount, which was recorded as an increase to stockholders’ equity, is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Debentures, utilizing the effective interest method.

12.
Loss Per Share

Basic loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in each period and earnings adjusted for preferred stock dividend requirements. Diluted earnings per common share assume that any dilutive convertible preferred shares outstanding at the beginning of each period were converted at those dates, with related interest, preferred stock dividend requirements and outstanding common shares adjusted accordingly. It also assumes that outstanding common shares were increased by shares issuable upon exercise of those stock options and warrants for which market price exceeds exercise price, less shares which could have been purchased by the Company with related proceeds. The convertible preferred stock and outstanding stock options and warrants were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 since it would have resulted in an antidilutive effect.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

Stock Based Compensation

In connection with the May 2004 transaction with IMAGIN, the Company re-priced various options and warrants to employees that are subject to the variable accounting rules. The market price of the Company’s common stock increased from $0.09 at December 31, 2005 to $0.12 at June 30, 2006. Due to the increase in price, application of the variable accounting rules resulted in stock based compensation of $116,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2006. The market price of the Company’s common stock decreased $0.03 from $0.12 at December 31, 2004 to $0.09 at June 30, 2005. Due to the decline in price, application of the variable accounting rules resulted in the reversal of stock based compensation by $102,000 during the six month period ended June 30, 2005. For the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company recognized a reversal of stock based compensation of $25,000 and stock based compensation expense of $3,000, respectively.

Effective January 1, 2006 the Company adopted the revision to SFAS 123 (“SFAS 123R”), “Share-Based Payment”, that focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions utilizing the modified prospective method. This statement replaces SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. SFAS 123R requires companies to expense the fair value of employee stock options and similar awards. The Company estimates the amount of stock-based compensation expense related to currently outstanding options to be approximately $51,000 and $105,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.

The expected life of the options is determined using a simplified method, computed as the average of the option vesting periods and the contractual term of the option. For performance based options that vest upon the occurrence of an event, the Company uses an estimate of when the event will occur as the vesting period used in the Black-Scholes calculation for each option grant.

Based on the Company’s previous two years’ forfeitures, the Company has adjusted the calculated value of the options for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 using a 32.1% average estimated forfeiture rate.

14.
Stock Based Incentive Plan

On April 10, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (“2006 Plan”). The 2006 Plan is administered by the Board and provides for the direct issuance of stock and grants of nonqualified stock options to directors, officers, employees and consultants. The administrator is authorized to determine the terms of each award granted under the plan, including the number of shares, exercise price, term and exercisability. Stock and options may be granted for services rendered or to be rendered. A total of 5,000,000 shares of common stock have been authorized for issuance under the 2006 Plan. On April 10, 2006, 2,000,000 shares of common stock were issued to a consultant under the 2006 Plan. Accordingly the Company recorded consulting expense equal to the fair market value of the shares issued of $292,000.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We are including the following cautionary statement in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB to make applicable and utilize the safe harbor provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts. Certain statements contained herein are forward-looking statements and, accordingly, involve risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements.

Our expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith and are believed by us to have a reasonable basis, including without limitations, our examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties, but there can be no assurance that our expectations, beliefs or projections will result, or be achieved, or be accomplished.

Comparison of the Results of Operations for the Three Months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005

We experienced a loss of $3,115,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to a loss of $949,000 for the same quarter in 2005. The significant increase in the loss is due primarily to $1,887,000 of derivatives losses resulting from the fair market valuation of embedded derivatives in convertible debentures issued during the period.

Although the Company earned no revenue from system upgrades during the three months ended June 30, 2006, revenue earned under service contract was $266,000 which accounted for all revenues during the period. Total revenues for the three month period ended June 30, 2005 were $205,000 of which $171,000 came from service contracts and $34,000 from system upgrades. The increase in service revenue is attributable to several customers executing service contracts after the expiration of the warranty received with the original purchase of their PET systems.

The Company generated gross profits of $86,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to gross profits of $35,000 for the same three months in 2005. Costs of sales and services for the three months ended June 30, 2005 included $87,000 related to system sales; there were no costs of system revenues for the same period in 2006. Cost of revenues associated with service contracts were $180,000 and $75,000 for the three month periods ending June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Operating expenses increased $224,000 to $936,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 from $712,000 for the same period in 2005. Sales and marketing expense for the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased to $375,000 from $213,000 for the same period in 2005. This significant increase resulted primarily from $292,000 of consulting fees which were exchanged for shares of the Company's common stock. Sales and marketing salaries for the second quarter of 2006 were $16,000 compared to $122,000 during the second quarter of 2005. General and administrative expenses increased $78,000 to $470,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2006 from $392,000 in the same period in 2005. This increase in general and administrative expenses primarily resulted from increased consulting fees expensed in 2006. Net stock based compensation of $(25,000) for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 is due to the reversal of previously recorded compensation associated with re-priced options resulting from a decrease in the price of the Company’s common stock.

 
 FORM 10-QSB
 JUNE 30, 2006
Interest expense of $301,000 in the second quarter of 2005 compared to $273,000 of interest expense in the same period in 2005. During the three months ended June 30, 2006 equity in losses of joint ventures was $77,000. The Company’s investments in the joint ventures were made subsequent to the quarter ended June 30, 2005 and therefore no equity adjustments were recorded during the second quarter 2005.

Comparison of the Results of Operations for the Six Months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005

The company had net losses of $4,271,000 and $1,587,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005, respectively. The increase in the loss in 2006 resulted primarily from derivative losses. Increases in interest expense, stock based compensation, and equity in losses of joint venture investments also contributed to the increased loss in 2006.

No revenues were generated from sales of systems during the six months ended June 30, 2006 or the six months ended June 30, 2005. Revenues of $464,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 consisted exclusively of revenue from service contracts and components, as compared to $350,000 of service revenue for the same period in 2005 while total revenues for the 2005 period were $384,000. Increased service revenue is attributed to new service contract with customers whose warranties on their PET systems expired.

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $136,000 or 29.3% compared to $74,000 or 19.2% for the same period in 2005. Improved gross profit is attributable in large part to decreases in cost of revenues expenses including a decrease in salaries and related expenses of nearly $50,000.

Operating expenses increased $523,000 to $1,832,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $1,309,000 for the same period in 2005. Research and development expenses were consistent at $260,000 for each of the six month periods. Sales and marketing expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $445,000 compared to $443,000 for the same period in 2005. The increase in general and administrative expenses primarily resulted from increased consulting fees for certain outsourced services and projects. Overall general and administrative increased to $906,000 from $708,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The company recorded stock based compensation of $221,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. A reversal of stock based compensation of $102,000 relating to the application of the variable accounting rules to the re-pricing of warrants and options was recorded in the first six months of 2005.

Interest expense of $570,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 is an increase of $217,000 over interest expense of $353,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The Company issued $1,500,000 of new convertible secured debentures during the six months ended June 30, 2006. Interest expense in the first six months of 2006 includes $414,700 in amortization of loan costs, debt discounts and beneficial conversion features. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 the Company recorded equity in the losses of joint ventures of $118,000.

Financial Condition

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $248,000 on June 30, 2006. On the same date, accounts payable and accrued liabilities outstanding totaled $1,673,000. The Company did not sell any imaging systems in the six-month period ended June 30, 2006. Sales of imaging systems and/or additional debt or equity financings will eventually be necessary to resolve the Company’s liquidity issues and allow it to continue to operate as a going concern. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in selling new systems or securing additional debt or equity financing.

Since inception, we have been unable to sell our POSICAMTM systems in quantities sufficient to be operationally profitable. Consequently, we have sustained substantial losses. Due to the sizable selling prices of our systems and the limited number of systems sold or placed into service each year, revenues have fluctuated significantly from year to year. We have an accumulated deficit of $66,510,000 at June 30, 2006. The Company will need to increase system sales to achieve profitability in the future.

These events raise doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The report of our independent public accountants, which accompanied our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005, was qualified with respect to that risk. If we are unable to obtain debt or equity financing to meet our cash needs we may have to severely limit or cease our business activities or may seek protection from our creditors under the bankruptcy laws.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Financial Accounting Standard (“FAS”) No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, an amendment of FAS No. 133 and 140.” FAS No. 155 resolves issues addressed in FAS No. 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets,” and permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of FAS No. 133, establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives and amends FAS No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. FAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of FAS No. 155 but believes it will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In March 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FAS No. 140.” FAS No. 156 requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract under a transfer of the servicer’s financial assets that meets the requirements for sale accounting, a transfer of the servicer’s financial assets to a qualified special-purpose entity in a guaranteed mortgage securitization in which the transferor retains all of the resulting securities and classifies them as either available-for-sale or trading securities in accordance with FAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” and an acquisition or assumption of an obligation to service a financial asset that does not relate to financial assets of the servicer or its consolidated affiliates. Additionally, FAS No. 156 requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, permits an entity to choose either the use of an amortization or fair value method for subsequent measurements, permits at initial adoption a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights and requires separate presentation of servicing assets and liabilities subsequently measured at fair value and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities. FAS No. 156 is effective for transactions entered into after the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of FAS No. 156 but believes it will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

Revenues from POSICAMTM system contracts are recognized when all significant costs have been incurred and the system has been shipped to the customer. Revenues from maintenance contracts are recognized over the term of the contract. Service revenues are recognized upon performance of the services.

Stock-Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006 the Company adopted the revision to SFAS 123 (“SFAS 123R”), “Share-Based Payment”, that focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions utilizing the modified prospective method. This statement replaces SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. SFAS 123R requires companies to expense the fair value of employee stock options and similar awards.

ITEM 3 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of June 30, 2006, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable level. There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Company’s management, including the Chairman of the Board and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls or internal control over financial reporting 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 due to numerous factors, ranging from errors to conscious acts of an individual, or individuals acting together. In addition, 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 a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error and/or fraud may occur and not be detected.
