CLX INVESTMENT COMPANY, INC.
Notes to the Financial Statements
March 31, 2005 and 2004
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF
ORGANIZATION
This summary of significant accounting policies of CLX Investment Company,
Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial
statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the
Company's management who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity.
These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the
preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
a. Organization and Business Activities
The Company was incorporated on December 12, 1977 under the laws of the State
of Colorado as Calvin Exploration Company, Inc. to engage in any lawful
activity as shall be appropriate under laws of the State of Colorado. The
Company was organized to engage in on-shore oil and gas exploration,
development and production in the continental United States. The Company's oil
and gas activities concentrated primarily in Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma and
Wyoming. In 1993 the name of the Company was changed to CLX Energy, Inc. Up
until September 1, 2004 the Company engaged in only one industry segment and
line of business; the acquisition, exploration, development and operation of
oil and gas properties for its own account.
On May 24, 2004 the Company appointed new management and moved its
headquarters to Temecula, CA. At the same time the Company formed CLX Oil &
GAS, LLC a wholly owned subsidiary of CLX Energy, Inc. and transferred all of
the oil and gas operations of the Company (including the assets and
liabilities pertaining to such operations) into CLX Oil & Gas, LLC. At that
time, it was agreed in principal that CLX Energy would be sold, subject to a
fairness opinion, to certain minority shareholders of the Company. On
September 1, 2004 the Company completed the sale of 100% of its interest in
CLX Oil & Gas, LLC to certain minority shareholders of the Company in exchange
for shares of CLX Energy, Inc. The shareholders returned 1,433,552 shares in
exchange for 100% interest in CLX Oil & GAS, LLC. The Board of Directors
approved the "Securities Purchase and Sale Agreement" and also obtained a
fairness opinion from Lehrer Financial and Economic Advisory Service
indicating that the Securities Purchase and Sale Agreement was a fair and
equitable exchange. The sale of the subsidiary has been accounted for as an
asset sale transaction and all gas and oil operations are reported as
discontinued operations on the financial records.
On September 13, 2004, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission to become a Business Development Corporation as defined under the
Investment Act of 1940. Additionally, on September 13, 2004, the Company filed
an offering circular with the SEC for up to $5,000,000 of common stock under
Regulation E of the Investment Act to raise capital and to make investments in
eligible emerging or early-stage companies in various fields of business by
arranging for and contributing capital and providing management assistance. In
anticipation of the election to become a BDC, the Company changed its name to
CLX Investment Company, Inc. on September 1, 2004 to properly reflect the
nature of its business.
NOTE 2 - CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the Company issued $155,000 of
convertible debentures to support operations. The debentures have varying
terms of 60 days to 90 days, accrue interest at 8% per annum, and convert at a
discount of 50% of the closing bid for the Company's common stock on the date
of conversion. All convertible debentures are convertible at the option of the
holder or the Company and automatically convert into common stock in the event
of bankruptcy or liquidation. During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the
Company converted $50,000 of convertible debentures issued in private quarters
into 5,000,000 shares of common stock. The Company recorded a beneficial
conversion expense of $155,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2005
bringing the total of beneficial conversions expense recorded this fiscal year
to $315,000. The company also wrote off $1,000 of convertible debenture debt
that was forgiven.
8
The Company does not
consider the convertible debentures to be "Senior Securities" as defined by
the Investment Company Act of 1940 since, at the Company's option, the
obligation can be converted into common stock thus placing the debentures on a
parity with common stock. The Company is required to maintain net asset to
Senior Security coverage of 200%. If convertible debentures were deemed to be
"Senior Securities" the Company's coverage would be negative, resulting in an
out of compliance condition.
NOTE 3 - EQUITY TRANSACTIONS
During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the Company issued 5,000,000 shares
of common stock on the conversion of $50,000 of convertible debentures. The
Company also issued 200,000 shares of common stock for a cash sale of $2,000.
This stock was issued unrestricted under the Company's exemption from
registration pursuant to Regulation E. The Company issued 3,000,000 shares of
restricted common stock for a cash sale of $15,000.
NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY
The Company sold 1,000,000 shares of restricted common stock to each of two
unaffiliated individuals (2,000,000 shares total) in an arm's length
transaction for total cash consideration of $10,000. Mr. Shane Traveller, the
CEO of the Company, agreed to purchase an additional 1,000,000 on the same
date under the same terms. The cash consideration from Mr. Traveller was
received in April 2005 and has been listed as a "stock subscription
receivable" as of March 31, 2005.
NOTE 5 - PREFERRED STOCK
During the quarter ended the Company issued 9,000,000 shares of Series A
Preferred stock in consideration of a financing commitment.
NOTE 6 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Stock Issuance
The Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock on the conversion of
$10,000 of convertible debentures.
Subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 2005 the Company was paid the $5,000
outstanding in stock subscription receivable.
Convertible Debentures
Subsequent to the end of the quarter ended March 31, 2005 the company issued
two convertible debenture for a total of $25,000. The debenture is payable in
120 days, accrues interest at 8% per annum, and converts at a discount of 50%
of the closing bid on the day of conversion, or at the lowest price allowable
as set by CLX Investment Company, Inc. in an effective registration statement
or exemption notification as filed with the Commission for the Company's
common stock on the date of conversion. The debenture is convertible at the
option of the holder or the Company, and automatically converts into common
stock in the event of bankruptcy or liquidation.
The Company does not consider the convertible debentures to be "Senior
Securities" as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940 since, at the
Company's option, the obligation can be converted into common stock thus
placing the debentures on a parity with common stock. The Company is required
to maintain net asset to Senior Security coverage of 200%. If convertible
debentures were deemed to be "Senior Securities" the Company's coverage would
be negative, resulting in an out of compliance condition.
Advances
Subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 2005 the Company advanced an
additional $18,000 to eStrategy Solutions, Inc. against the line of credit
agreement of $250,000, bringing the total advanced under the credit line to
$98,950.
NOTE 7 - GOING CONCERN
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependant upon
its ability to successfully seek out and consummate investments, or to secure
other sources of financing such that it may commence profitable operations.
Further, if the Company is not able to generate positive cash flow from
operations, or is unable to secure adequate funding under acceptable terms,
there is substantial doubt that the company an continue as a going concern.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
GENERAL
The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not
historical facts may contain forward-looking statements that involve a number
of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results
to differ materially from those discussed or anticipated by management.
Potential risks and uncertainties include, among other factors, general
business conditions, government regulations, manufacturing practices,
competitive market conditions, success of the Company's business strategy,
delay of orders, changes in the mix of products sold, availability of
suppliers, concentration of sales in markets and to certain customers, changes
in manufacturing efficiencies, development and introduction of new products,
fluctuations in margins, timing of significant orders, and other risks and
uncertainties currently unknown to management.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company's financial statements and related public financial information
are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America ("GAAP"). GAAP requires the use of estimates;
assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles
that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts
reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained
in the external disclosures of the Company including information regarding
contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates
and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and
conservatively applied. We review valuations based on estimates for
reasonableness and conservatism on a consistent basis throughout the Company.
Primary areas where financial information of the Company is subject to the use
of estimates, assumptions and the application of judgment include
acquisitions, valuation of long-lived and intangible assets, and the
realizability of deferred tax assets. We base our estimates on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable
under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Valuation Of Long-Lived And Intangible Assets
The recoverability of long lived assets requires considerable judgment and is
evaluated on an annual basis or more frequently if events or circumstances
indicate that the assets may be impaired. As it relates to definite life
intangible assets, we apply the impairment rules as required by SFAS No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Assets to Be Disposed
Of" as amended by SFAS No. 144, which also requires significant judgment and
assumptions related to the expected future cash flows attributable to the
intangible asset. The impact of modifying any of these assumptions can have a
significant impact on the estimate of fair value and, thus, the recoverability
of the asset.
Income Taxes
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences
between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets
and liabilities. We regularly review our deferred tax assets for
recoverability and establish a valuation allowance based upon historical
losses, projected future taxable income and the expected timing of the
reversals of existing temporary differences. As of March 31, 2005, we
estimated the allowance on net deferred tax assets to be one hundred percent
of the net deferred tax assets.
Valuation of Investments
As required by ASR 118, the investment committee of the company is required to
assign a fair value to all investments. To comply with Section 2(a)(41) of the
Investment Company Act and Rule 2a-4 under the Investment Company Act, it is
incumbent upon the board of directors to satisfy themselves that all
appropriate factors relevant to the value of securities for which market
quotations are not readily available have been considered and to determine the
method of arriving at the fair value of each such security. To the extent
considered necessary, the board may appoint persons to assist them in the
determination of such value, and to make the actual calculations pursuant to
the board's direction. The board must also, consistent with this
responsibility, continuously review the appropriateness of the method used in
valuing each issue of security in the company's portfolio. The directors must
recognize their responsibilities in this matter and whenever technical
assistance is requested from individuals who are not directors, the findings
of such intervals must be carefully reviewed by the directors in order to
satisfy themselves that the resulting valuations are fair.
10
No single standard for determining "fair value...in good faith" can be laid
down, since fair value depends upon the circumstances of each individual case.
As a general principle, the current "fair value" of an issue of securities
being valued by the board of directors would appear to be the amount which the
owner might reasonably expect to receive for them upon their current sale.
Methods which are in accord with this principle may, for example, be based on
a multiple of earnings, or a discount from market of a similar freely traded
security, or yield to maturity with respect to debt issues, or a combination
of these and other methods. Some of the general factors which the directors
should consider in determining a valuation method for an individual issue of
securities include: 1) the fundamental analytical data relating to the
investment, 2) the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the
securities, and 3) an evaluation of the forces which influence the market in
which these securities are purchased and sold. Among the more specific factors
which are to be considered are: type of security, financial statements, cost
at date of purchase, size of holding, discount from market value of
unrestricted securities of the same class at time of purchase, special reports
prepared by analysis, information as to any transactions or offers with
respect to the security, existence of merger proposals or tender offers
affecting the securities, price and extent of public trading in similar
securities of the issuer or comparable companies, and other relevant matters.
The board has arrived at the following valuation method for its investments.
Where there is not a readily available source for determining the market value
of any investment, either because the investment is not publicly traded, or is
thinly traded, and in absence of a recent appraisal, the value of the
investment shall be based on the following criteria:
1. Total amount of the Company's actual investment ("AI"). This amount shall include all loans, purchase price of securities, and fair value of securities given at the time of exchange.
2. Total revenues for the preceding twelve months ("R").
3. Earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation ("EBITD")
4. Estimate of likely sale price of investment ("ESP")
5. Net assets of investment ("NA")
6. Likelihood of investment generating positive returns (going concern).
The estimated value of each investment shall be determined as follows:
Where no or limited revenues or earnings are present, then the value shall be the greater of the investment's a) net assets, b) estimated sales price, or c) total amount of actual investment.
Where revenues and/or earnings are present, then the value shall be the greater of two point five times (2.5x) revenues or six times (6x) earnings, plus the greater of the net assets of the investment or the total amount of the actual investment.
Under both scenarios, the value of the investment shall be adjusted down if there is a reasonable expectation that the Company will not be able to recoup the investment or if there is reasonable doubt about the investments ability to continue as a going concern.
The Board of
Directors of the Company, using the above formula, has valued the Company's
investments at $142,144. The Board has not retained independent appraisers to
assist in the valuation of the portfolio investments because the cost was
determined to be prohibitive for the current levels of investments.

COMPANY STRATEGY
CLX Investment Company, Inc. ("the Company" or "CLXN") was incorporated under
the laws of Colorado under the name of Calvin Exploration Company, Inc. on
December 12, 1977 to engage in any lawful activity as shall be appropriate
under laws of the State of Colorado. The Company was organized to engage in
on-shore oil and gas exploration, development and production in the
continental United States. The Company's Oil and gas activities concentrated
primarily in Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma and Wyoming. In 1993 the name of the
Company was changed to CLX Energy, Inc. Up until September 2004, the Company
has engaged in only one industry segment and line of business, namely the
acquisition, exploration, development and operation of oil and gas properties
for its own account.
On May 24, 2004 the company appointed new management and moved its
headquarters to Temecula, CA. At the same time the Company formed CLX Oil &
Gas, LLC a wholly owned subsidiary of CLX Energy, Inc. and transferred all of
the oil and gas operations of the Company (including the assets and
liabilities pertaining to such operations) into CLX Oil & Gas, LLC. On
September 1, 2004 the Company sold 100% of its interest in CLX Oil & Gas, LLC
to certain shareholders of the Company in exchange for shares of CLX Energy,
Inc. The Board of Directors approved the "Securities purchase and Sale
Agreement" and also obtained a fairness opinion from Lehrer Financial and
Economic Advisory Service indicating that the Securities Purchase and Sale
Agreement was a fair and equitable exchange. All Gas and Oil operations are
reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial reports.
On September 13, 2004 the Company's Board of Directors elected to be regulated
as a business investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. As
a business development company ("BDC"), the Company is required to maintain at
least 70% of its assets invested in "eligible portfolio companies", which are
loosely defined as any domestic company which is not publicly traded or that
has assets less than $4 million. On September 1, 2004 the Company changes it's
name to CLX Investment Company, Inc. to properly reflect the nature of its
business.
The Company made its first portfolio acquisition on December 6, 2004, by
entering into an agreement to acquire 40% of eStrategy Solutions, Inc., a
four-year-old e-learning and cost recovery solutions company, in exchange for
$60,000 and an agreement to provide an operating line of credit of $250,000.
eStrategy Solutions, Inc is the Company's only portfolio investment at March
31, 2005.
Investment Strategy
CLX Investments Company, Inc. intends to make strategic investments in
cash-flow positive companies with perceived growth potential. The Investment
Committee has adopted a charter wherein these two criteria will be weighed
against other criteria including strategic fit, investment amount, management
ability, etc. In principle, the Company will prefer to make investments in
companies where the Company can acquire at least a 51% ownership interest in
the outstanding capital of the portfolio company, or exert some other
management control.
As a Business Development Company, the Company is required to have at least
70% of its assets in "eligible portfolio companies." It is stated in the
Investment Committee Charter that the Company will endeavor to maintain this
minimum asset ratio.

Portfolio
Investments
The Company presently has one portfolio investment: eStrategy Solutions, Inc.,
a Texas corporation specializing in the development, and marketing of
e-learning software solutions. The Company owns 40% of the common stock of
eStrategy Solutions, Inc., which it acquired in exchange for cash and an open
line of credit. eStrategy Solutions already has training software in place but
is projecting a late January completion date for its expanded content delivery
platform, which is expected to significantly increase the user capacity of its
training programs. The implementation of this new platform is expected to
allow the company to expand its customer base and grow revenues unfettered by
current system limitations.
The Texas Department of Information Resources has recently renewed its
contract to engage the services of eStrategy Solutions. Under the terms of the
contract, eStrategy Solutions can be retained by agencies to serve as the
provider for agency defined training courses via web-based training. The
contract includes development costs, notification to participants, delivery,
testing, and management reporting, encompassing all state agencies, all
institutions of higher learning, all independent school districts, counties
and municipalities. To date, there have been several thousand deliveries
covering over 20 courses. In addition to delivery, eStrategy Solutions
provides completion documentation and management reports.
In the State of Texas, eStrategy Solutions has focused its business strategy
on a large market niche that has a clear need for low-cost, highly effective
e-learning programs. eStrategy Solutions has proven a new unique sales and
pricing model that targets a defined portion of overlooked clients. By
focusing on thousands of licensing, regulatory agencies and certificate
granting organizations, eStrategy Solutions offers enterprise level software
features at low-cost, and it further creates a cost-recovery method which
produces funds needed to deploy a robust e-learning system. An example of this
cost-recovery method is at work with the Texas Board of Chiropractic Examiners
(CE). This agency chose eStrategy Solutions to host the learning system at no
cost, convert the mandatory CE course to an attractive web based delivery to
thousands of chiropractic professionals. The convenience of online secure
payment and 24-hour access to courses become a source of savings for the user
and eStrategy simply splits the revenue with the agency.
eStrategy Solution's market is not just limited to Texas. The model that has
been developed in Texas is applicable to all the other states as well. The
market potential for e-learning is in the billions of dollars and eStrategy
Solutions is expected to grow and capture a significant percentage of its
specific market segment.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Quarter ended March 31, 2005 compared to quarter ended March 31, 2004
During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the Company incurred a net loss of
$309,912 compared to a loss of $24,576 for the same quarter of 2004. The
current loss is primarily due to an expense of $155,000 related to the
beneficial conversion feature of new debentures and operating expenses, which
were $63,307 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The Company will be able to
keep future operating costs at a minimum based on the management agreement it
has in place to outsource all its administrative support. Interest expense for
the quarter ended March 31, 2005 was $248,749.
The six month period ended March 31, 2005 compared to the six month period
ended March 31, 2004
Revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2005 were $1,194 compared with
revenues of $0 for the six months ended March 31, 2004. Operating expenses for
the six months ended March 31, 2005 were $133,845, generating a net loss of
$541,740, or $0.13 per share, compared with a net loss of $21,431, or $0.01
per share, for the six months ended March 31, 2004.

Liquidity and
Capital Resources
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
principles of accounting applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the
realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course
of business. The Company has incurred operating losses in the quarter ended
March 31, 2005, and some of the past years and has generated an accumulated
deficit of $1,229,438. The Company requires additional capital to meet its
operating requirements. Management plans to increase cash flows through the
sale of securities and through the issuance of convertible debentures. The
portfolio company, eStrategy Solution, is cash flow positive but will require
additional funds against its line of credit to further expand its content
delivery platform. Funds will also be required for additional portfolio
investments. There are no assurances that such capital raising plans will be
successful. No adjustments have been made to the accompanying financial
statements as a result of this uncertainty.
As of March 31, 2005, the Company had total cash and current assets of $33,975
and current liabilities of $267,359. The Company generated cash for operations
through the issuance of common stock and sale of convertible debentures. The
debentures issued have varying terms of 60 days to 90 days, bear interest at
8%, and are convertible into common stock at a discount to market of 50% from
the closing bid price on the date of conversion. Through March 31, 2005, the
Company raised $450,000 all of which was from convertible debentures. Of this
total, $135,000 was repaid in cash, $56,000 was converted to common stock and
$1,000 was written off as forgiveness of debt leaving a balance of $258,000.
Subsequent to March 31, 2005, an additional $10,000 was converted to common
stock. On September 13, 2004, the Company filed a notification with the
Securities and Exchange Commission of its intent to raise capital through the
issuance of securities exempt from registration under Regulation E of the
Securities Act of 1933. This exemption allows the Company to sell up to
$5,000,000 of securities exempt from registration. Subsequent to March 31,
2005 the company raised another $25,000 by issuing two additional convertible
debentures under the same terms. There is no assurance that the Company will
be able to raise any additional funds through the issuance of the remaining
convertible debentures or that any funds made available will be adequate for
the Company to continue as a going concern. Further, if the Company is not
able to generate positive cash flow from operations, or is unable to secure
adequate funding under acceptable terms, there is substantial doubt that the
company can continue as a going concern.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
An investment in the Company involves a high degree of risk. In addition to
matters discussed elsewhere in this report, careful consideration should be
given to the following risk factors. This report contains certain
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual
results could be substantially different from the results we anticipate in
these forward-looking statements because of one or more of the factors
described below and/or elsewhere in this report. If any of these risks were to
actually occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition
would likely suffer materially. The risks outlined below are those which
management believes are material to an understanding of our business and the
risks inherent in it, but such list is not exclusive of every possible risk
which may impact the Company and its shareholders in the future. Additional
risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem
immaterial may also appear or increase in significance, and could therefore
impair our projected business results of operations and financial condition.
Risks Related to Our Business
Our future operating results are subject to a number of risks, including our
ability or inability to implement our strategic plan and to raise sufficient
financing as required. Inability of our management to guide growth
effectively, including implementing appropriate systems, procedures and
controls, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and operating results.
Our future growth depends on the addition of portfolio companies that are cash
flow positive and can contribute to the overall growth of the Company. The
Company has a plan to implement acquisitions and is presently evaluating
several companies to see if they will fit the criteria that have been
established. The future performance of the companies acquired will determine
if these evaluations were correct. And although part of the process is to
evaluate the history of the companies to determine stability in their
respective industries there is no assurance that this stability will continue.
Change in revenue or expense projections or even changes in the industry that
cannot be adjusted to will could adversely affect performance.
14
We require
additional funds to support our business operations.
We require additional capital in order to implement our current business plan
as contemplated in this report. CLX Investment Company intends to attempt to
raise funds during the third fiscal quarter of 2005 through the issuance of
convertible debentures and the sale stock exempt from registration to
accredited investors. If we are unable to raise the necessary capital we
require, which we estimate to be a minimum of $500,000 and not more than
$2,000,000, then we may not be able to operate our business in the manner
described in this report. Our inability to raise the funds we require, when we
require them and on terms that are reasonably acceptable to our management,
would have a materially adverse effect upon our ability to maintain and grow
our business.
If we do raise the funds we require to grow the business, it could result
in substantial dilution to our existing shareholders.
To the extent that much of our financing will be raised through the issuance
of convertible debentures, stock will be issued at a discount to the market
upon conversion of the debt resulting in substantial dilution to our existing
shareholders which is disproportionate to the value of the funds received by
us in such transaction. There is no guarantee that additional financing will
be available to us on acceptable terms when needed, or at all.
Our failure to effectively manage our growth could have a material adverse
effect on our business.
We expect our business to grow rapidly. Such growth will place a significant
strain on our management systems and resources. We will need to continue to
improve our operational and financial systems and managerial controls and
procedures, and we will need to continue to expand, train and manage our
workforce.
If we are unable to retain key personnel or attract new personnel, it could
have a material adverse effect on our business.
The loss of services of any of our key personnel or our inability to
successfully attract and retain qualified personnel in the future would have a
material adverse effect on our business. We do not maintain key person life
insurance on any of our employees.
Risks Related To Our Industry
Laws and regulations may prohibit or severely restrict our ability to raise
capital.
Various government agencies in the United States and throughout the world
regulate capital raising practices. If we are unable to continue our business
in our existing manner then we may not be able to acquire additional portfolio
investments, which would hamper or even cause our business to fail.
Additionally, government agencies and courts may use their powers and
discretion in interpreting and applying laws in a manner that limits our
ability to operate or otherwise harm our business. Also, if any governmental
authority brings a regulatory enforcement action against us that interrupts
our ability to raise capital, or which results in a significant fine or
penalty assessed against us, our business could suffer.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
Exchange Act"), we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures within the 90
days prior to the filing date of this report. This evaluation was carried out
under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Shane Traveller. Based upon
that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in
timely alerting management to material information relating to us and required
to be included in our periodic SEC filings. There have been no significant
changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly
affect internal controls subsequent to the date we carried out our evaluation.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports
filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include,
without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange
Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosures.
