NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010
(unaudited)

NOTE 1 – Basis of Presentation (Reverse Merger and Corporate Structure)

Network 1 Financial Securities, Inc. (“NETW”) was organized as a Texas corporation on March 15, 1983 and is registered as a broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the State of Texas and various other states. NETW is an introducing broker-dealer that clears all transactions with and for customers on a fully disclosed basis with a clearing broker. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the  six months ended December, 31 2008 consolidate the following variable interest entities (“VIEs”): Network 1 Financial Advisors, Inc, Network 1 Financial Assurance, Inc., National Financial Services Group, Inc. and Shark Rivers Investors, LLC through the companies merger date of June 9, 2009.  As of December 31, 2009, none of the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the VIEs are included as part of the consolidation.

On June 9, 2009, NETW completed a merger transaction (the “Reverse Merger”) with International Smart Sourcing, Inc. (“ISSI”), an inactive publicly registered shell corporation with no significant assets or operations. ISSI was incorporated in February 1998 in Delaware.  As a result of the Reverse Merger, NETW became a wholly owned subsidiary of ISSI and the current assets of NETW were merged with ISSI.  NETW’s shareholders acquired control of ISSI. 

Upon completion of the Reverse Merger transaction, ISSI changed its name to Network 1 Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company”).

All references to Common Stock, share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the exchange ratio of 17.16 shares of ISSI’s Common Stock for 1 share of the acquirer's Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Merger as if the exchange had taken place as of the beginning of the earliest period presented.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements present on a consolidated basis the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures provided are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and explanatory notes for the year ended June 30, 2010 as disclosed in the Company's 10-K for that year as filed with the SEC, as it may be amended.

The results of the six months ended December 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the pending full year ending June 30, 2011

NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Customer security transactions and the related commission income and expense are recorded as of the trade date.  Investment banking revenues include gains, losses, and fees, net of syndicate expenses, arising from securities offerings in which the Company acts as an underwriter or agent. Investment banking revenues also include fees earned from providing financial advisory services.  Investment banking management fees are recorded on the offering date, sales concessions on the settlement date, and underwriting fees at the time the underwriting is completed and the income is reasonably determinable. Customers who are financing their transaction on margin are charged interest. The Company’s margin requirements are in accordance with the terms and conditions mandated by its clearing firm. The interest is billed on the average daily balance of the margin account.
 
Net dealer inventory gains result from securities transactions entered into for the account and risk of the Company. Net dealer inventory gains are recorded on a trade date basis. Investment advisory fees are account management fees for high net worth clients based on the amount of the assets under management. These fees are billed quarterly and recognized at such time that the service is performed and collection is probable.
 
The Company generally acts as an agent in executing customer orders to buy or sell listed and over-the-counter securities in which it does not make a market, and charges commissions based on the services the Company provides to its customers. In executing customer orders to buy or sell a security in which the Company makes a market, the Company may sell to, or purchase from, customers at a price that is substantially equal to the current inter-dealer market price plus or minus a mark-up or mark-down. The Company may also act as agent and execute a customer's purchase or sale order with another broker-dealer market-maker at the best inter-dealer market price available and charge a commission. Mark-ups, mark-downs and commissions are generally priced competitively based on the services it provides to its customers. In each instance the commission charges, mark-ups or mark-downs, are in compliance with guidelines established by the FINRA.
 
Marketable securities are carried at fair value, with changes in value included in the statement of income in the period of change. Fair value is generally determined by quoted market prices. Non-marketable securities are valued at fair value as determined by management.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
FASB requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statement of financial position for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments approximate fair value because of their short maturities.

In April 2009, the FASB issued provisions that require that companies also disclose the fair value of financial instruments during interim reporting periods similar to those that are currently provided annually. These pronouncements are effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009.
 
On July 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, which defines fair value for accounting purposes, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements.  The Company’s adoption of ASC 820 did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.  Fair value is defined as an exit price, which is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  The degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities generally correlates to the level of pricing observability.  Financial assets and liabilities with readily available, actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices in active markets generally have more pricing observability and require less judgment in measuring fair value.  Conversely, financial assets and liabilities that are rarely traded or not quoted have less price observability and are generally measured at fair value using valuation methods that require more judgment.  These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency of the asset, liability or market and the nature of the asset or liability.  The Company has categorized its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three level hierarchy in accordance with ASC 820.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made in prior year’s financial statements to conform to classifications used in the current year.

NOTE 3 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In February 2010, the FASB issued FASB ASU 2010-09, Subsequent Events, Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements, which clarifies certain existing evaluation and disclosure requirements in ASC 855 related to subsequent events. FASB ASU 2010-09 requires SEC filers to evaluate subsequent events through the date in which the financial statements are issued and is effective immediately. The new guidance does not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued FASB ASU 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”, which clarifies certain existing disclosure requirements in ASC 820 as well as requires disclosures related to significant transfers between each level and additional information about Level 3 activity. FASB ASU 2010-06 begins phasing in the first fiscal period after December 15, 2009. The Company is currently assessing the impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In June 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which will change how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. Under this guidance, determining whether a company is required to consolidate an entity will be based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. This guidance is effective at the start of a company’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009, or January 1, 2010 for companies reporting earnings on a calendar-year basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

The Company’s bank line of credit is payable on demand. The maximum amount the Company could borrow is $100,000.  Indebtedness under the line of credit provides for interest at the bank’s prime rate, plus 1.0% (approximately 4.25% at December 31, 2010). As of December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, the amount outstanding under this credit facility was $30,000 and $55,000 respectively.

NOTE 8 - Net Capital Requirements

NETW is a registered broker-dealer and is subject to the SEC’s Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3-1. This requires that NETW maintain minimum net capital of $100,000 and also requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness, as defined, to net capital, shall not exceed 15 to 1.

As of December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, NETW’s net capital exceeded the requirement by approximately $ 39,727and $94,237, respectively.

Advances, dividend payments and other equity withdrawals are restricted by the regulations of the SEC, and other regulatory agencies are subject to certain notification and other provisions of the net capital rules of the SEC.

Note: The warrants’ expiration date is October  23, 2011.

In June 2008, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which requires entities to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock by assessing the instrument’s contingent exercise provisions and settlement provisions. Instruments not indexed to their own stock fail to meet the scope exception of ASC 815 “Derivative and Hedging” and should be classified as a liability and marked-to-market. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and is to be applied to outstanding instruments upon adoption with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company’s warrants issued in connection with the IPO do not have fixed settlement provisions because their exercise prices, may be lowered if the Company issues securities at lower prices in the future.  The Company was required to include the reset provisions in order to protect warrant holders from potential dilution associated with future financings.  In accordance with the guidance, the warrants have been recharacterized as a derivative liability.

NOTE 11 - Fair Value Measurements

The financial assets of the Company measured at fair value on a recurring basis are cash, due from clearing organization, marketable securities, derivatives and debt.  The Company’s cash equivalents, due from clearing organization and marketable securities are generally classified within Level 1 of the fair  value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency.  The Company’s long-term investments, derivative liabilities and debt are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using unobservable inputs, due to the fact that observable inputs are not available, or situations which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

 
·
Level 1:  Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical unrestricted assets or liabilities;

 
·
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly , for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; or

 
·
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and are unobservable.

The following table sets forth the Company’s short and long term investments as of December 31, 2010, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy.  As required, by ASC 820 (formerly SFAS No. 157), these are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement (in thousands):

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Some of the statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which are not purely historical, are forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements regarding the Company’s objectives, expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of those terms or other comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, our actual results could differ materially from those disclosed in these statements due to various risk factors and uncertainties affecting our business. We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We do not assume responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements and we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this report to conform them to actual results. You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. For a more complete understanding of our industry, the drivers of our business and our current period results, you should read the following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010 and our other filings with the SEC.

OVERVIEW

On June 9, 2009, the Company (then known as “International Smart Sourcing, Inc.” or “ISSI”) closed certain transactions contemplated in a certain Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of March 26, 2009 (the “Agreement”) which we entered into with Network 1 Financial Securities, Inc., a privately held Texas corporation (“NETW”), and certain former shareholders of NETW. At the closing, we acquired 1,250,528 shares, or approximately 97.55%, of common stock of NETW outstanding on such date (the “Reverse Merger”). In accordance with the terms of the Agreement, we issued 21,460,622 shares of our common stock to the former shareholders of NETW, in exchange for the acquisition, by the Company, of approximately 97.55% of the outstanding common shares of NETW.
 
As of the closing date, the former shareholders of NETW held approximately 66% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company. The issuance of the 21,460,622 common shares to the former shareholders of NETW was deemed to be a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes, by ISSI of NETW, as NETW will control the post-merged company. Accordingly, NETW, the accounting acquirer entity, is regarded as the predecessor entity as of June 9, 2009.
 
Upon the completion of the Reverse Merger, we became the ultimate parent company of NETW and we changed our name from “International Smart Sourcing, Inc.” to “Network 1 Financial Group, Inc.” (“NETW Group,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

During the quarter ended December 31, 2010, we had a decrease in our investment banking fees and interest and dividends, however we experienced an increase in net dealer inventory gains investment and investment advisory fees.  In the same period, we had a decrease in commission income. The decrease in investment banking fees was attributable to a decrease in private placement activity. The firm’s net dealer inventory gains showed an increase which offset the reduced fees received. The increase in advisory consulting fees was due to the payment of fees in stock of the client companies. The decrease in commissions earned in NETW’s daily transaction business was due primarily to a reduction in activity from NETW’s retail clients. The increase in trading profits was due to increased market volatility and the increase prices of shares received in investment banking activities. Overall, we experienced a profit in the quarter ended December 31, 2010 compared to the same period in the prior year.

We had a profit from operations of approximately $93,230 for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, which represents an increase of $95,341 over our net loss of $2,111 in the same period in the prior year.  This increase in profit was primarily due to an increase in payment of fees in the form of stock of client companies and the increase in the market value of the client companies stock, a decrease in operating expenses, which consisted of lower commissions paid, decrease in professional fees, decrease in interest expense, decrease in office expenses, offset by increases in compensation and other related expenses, an increase in occupancy and related expenses. Management continues to seek income stabilization from consulting and investment banking fees as well as by reducing its exposure to market positions. Management believes that in order to expand its marketing and recruitment of experienced registered representatives it will need to seek additional sources of funding.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon the condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as recognized in the United States of America.  The preparation of these financial statements requires that we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  For a complete description of accounting policies, see Note 2 to our financial statements included in our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010.  There were no significant changes in critical accounting estimates.

Results of Operations

For the six months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2009

Revenues.  Our consolidated income results for the six months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2009, showed an increase in revenue of $54,492 or 4%. Total revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2009 was $1,290,948 versus $1,236,456 for the six months ended December 31, 2009.

The increase in revenue for the six month period ended December 31, 2010 was due primarily to an increase in net dealer inventory gains of $299,322 or 1179% and an increase of $98,948 or 35% in investment advisory fees.  We experienced a decrease in revenues of $339,173 or 73% from our investment banking business compared to our revenues in the corresponding period ended December 31, 2009 due to less private placement activity.

Operating Expenses. Our consolidated operating expenses for the six month period ended December 31, 2010 were $1,286,479 or 99%, of revenue versus $1,749,292, or 141%, of revenue. This represents a decrease of $462,813 or 26 %, over the corresponding period ended December 31, 2009. The decrease was due to a reduction of commission expense of $590,817; a reduction of clearing fees of $13,848; a reduction of interest expense of $6,172; and a reduction of profession fees of $13,049. These decreases were offset by an increase of $145,790 in compensation and related expenses and an increase of $16,060 for communication and data processing; an increase in occupancy and related expenses of $18,326 for the six months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the corresponding period in December 31, 2009.

The decrease in commission expense is due to fewer retail customer transactions and commissions paid for capital placements for client companies.  The decrease in clearing fees is due to the change of clearing firms resulting in lower costs and fewer transactions.

Profit and Loss.  Our consolidated profit was $4,469, before adjustment for the gain of $13,182 from the change in derivative liability for the six month period ended December 31, 2010 compared to a loss of $512,836 for the corresponding period in 2009. This represents a decrease of $517,305 for the six months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. The profit is attributed to increase revenue mix and control of costs in professional fees, office expenses, and clearing fees.

For the three months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2009

Revenues.  Total revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2010 was $743,511 versus $787,568 for the three months ended December 31, 2009. We experienced a decrease in revenue of $44,057 or 6 %, for the three months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.

The decrease in revenue for the three month period ended December 31, 2010 was due primarily to a decrease in investment banking fees earned due to a reduction of private placement activity of $316,751 or 92% and a reduction of $6,465 or 100%, in transfer fees and clearing services compared to the same period in 2009.  We experienced an increase of $59,361 or 27% in our investment advisory business, during the three months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. We experienced an increase of $193,439 or 1287% in net dealer inventory gains three months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. The increase was attributed to more companies seeking our services and increases in value of the firm’s securities positions.

Operating Expenses.  Our consolidated operating expenses for the three month period ended December 31, 2010 were $653,379 or 88% of revenue compared to $999,720, or 127% of revenue, for the same period in 2009, representing a decrease of $346,341, or 35%, The decrease was due to a reduction of commissions expense of $413,191; a reduction of office expenses of $18,664; and a reduction of professional fees of $31,891. Such decrease expenses were offset by an increase of $75,468 in compensation and related expenses and an increase of $42,821 for occupancy and related expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.

The decrease in professional fees for the three months ended December 31, 2010 is due to the reduction of consultants for assistance in regulatory compliance and additional legal counsel. The reduction of commission expense due to reduced private placement activity and decease of office expense due to cost containment.  The increase in expenses for compensation and related expenses was due to a change in mix of products and increase of sales personnel, occupancy and related expense associated with the hiring of additional sales personnel.

Profit and Loss  Our consolidated income was $90,312 before adjustment for the gain of $3,098 from the change in derivative liability, for the three months ended December 31, 2010, compared to a loss of $212,152 for the same period in 2009.  This represents a decrease of $302,644 for the three months ended December 31, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009.

The gain occurred were attributed to an increase in net dealer inventory gains and reduction of operating expenses.

 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary source of liquidity is cash generated from operations and from short-term financing arrangements. We had $23,687 in cash as of December 31, 2010.

We generated cash flow from operations of $21,052 for the six months ended December 31, 2010.  Cash flows provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities for the six months ended December 31, 2010 were $50,136 comprised primarily of cash proceeds from the liquidation of deposits held at the firm’s previous clearing firm.
 
On December 4, 2009, Network 1 Financial Securities, Inc. (“NETW”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company received a letter via regular mail dated November 25, 2009 (the “Termination Letter”) from NETW’s clearing firm, Southwest Securities, Inc. (“Southwest”), stating that the Fully Disclosed Correspondent Agreement, dated as of September 27, 1990, as amended, between NETW and Southwest (the “Clearing Agreement”) was being terminated pursuant to Paragraph 12 of the Clearing Agreement.  Such termination is effective 90 days from the date of the Termination Letter (the “Termination Date”). NETW entered into a new clearing agreement with Legent Clearing LLC. Legent Clearing LLC commenced clearing the firms business on August 16, 2010 and Southwest ceased clearing the firm business on August 13, 2010  
 
We believe that we will have available resources to meet our liquidity requirements, including debt service, for the next quarter. If our cash flow from operations is insufficient to fund our debt service and other obligations, we may be required to increase our borrowings, reduce or delay capital expenditures, and seek additional capital or refinance our indebtedness.  There can be no assurance, however, that we will continue to generate cash flows at or above current levels or that we will be able to maintain our ability to borrow under revolving credit facilities.
 
In the upcoming year, we plan to finance operations with working capital and external financing. We believe that we will need additional funds in the near term to finance operations and meet revenue, profitability, growth, diversification and other strategic goals for the foreseeable future. We expect to be able to procure financing upon reasonable terms in order to finance operations. However, if we are unable to do so, or if we do not meet anticipated future revenue goals, management is committed to taking actions necessary to ensure the conservation of adequate cash to continue to finance its operations.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that we are required to disclose pursuant to these regulations.  In the ordinary course of business, we enter into operating lease commitments, purchase commitments and other contractual obligations.  These transactions are recognized in our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

Inflation

We believe that inflation has not had a material effect on our operations to date.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2009 due to the identification of a material weakness. A material weakness is a control deficiency or combination of control deficiencies such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

To address the material weakness described below, we performed additional analysis and performed other procedures to ensure our financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, fairly present, in all material aspects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with GAAP.

The weakness, identified by management, related to the lack of necessary accounting resources to ensure consistently complete and accurate reporting of financial reporting. To mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions. As we grow, we expect to increase our number of employees, which will enable us to implement adequate segregation of duties within the internal control framework.

We believe that for the reasons described above, after we hire additional qualified in-house personnel, we will be able to improve our disclosure controls and procedures, remedy the material weaknesses identified above and provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded from loss or unauthorized use, that transactions are recorded in accordance with GAAP under management’s directions, and that financial records are reliable to prepare financial statements. However, because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, will be or have been detected.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting
 
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in the Company’s second fiscal quarter of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
