7. Stock-Based Compensation:

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company has adopted FASB Statement No. 123 (R), “Share-Based Payment”. Statement 123 (R) requires that compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. The cost is measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued.

SFAS 123R also requires that new awards to employees eligible for retirement prior to the award becoming fully vested be recognized as compensation cost over the period through the date that the employee first becomes eligible to retire and is no longer required to provide service to earn the award. The Company had no such awards granted during the nine month period.

Included within compensation and employee benefits expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 is $329 thousand and $241 thousand of stock-based compensation, respectively.

Stock option compensation expense is the estimated fair value of options granted amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award. Depending on the specific characteristics of the related options, fair value was estimated using either the Lattice or the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: option term until exercise of approximately 4.50 to 6.5 years, volatility ranging from 22.6%, to 28.8%, risk-free interest rate of 4.57% to 4.78% and an expected dividend yield of 2.4% to 2.9%.

8. Employee Benefit Plan:

The Company has a noncontributory pension plan which conforms to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The amount of benefits payable under the plan is determined by an employee’s period of credited service. The amount of normal retirement benefit will be determined based on a Pension Equity Credit formula. The employee receives credits based on their age and years of service. The plan provides for early retirement for participants with five years of service and the attainment of age 55. The benefits are payable in single or joint/survivor annuities as well as a lump sum payment upon retirement or separation of service. The Company froze participation in this plan during 2003, and has approximately one hundred thirty-six participants remaining in the plan.

The components of net periodic benefit cost are as follows (In thousands):

9. Merger with FNB Corporation:

On July 26, 2007, VFG announced the signing of an agreement to combine in a merger of equals transaction with FNB Corporation to create the largest independent bank holding company headquartered in the Commonwealth of Virginia. VFG and FNB have received approval of the merger from the Federal Reserve Board and the Virginia State Corporation Commission. Approvals from the stockholders of VFG and FNB are pending. The merger process is expected to be completed late in the fourth quarter of 2007. Additionally, merger and integration teams have been formed and are making significant progress on specific initiatives related to the combination and integration of the two companies.

In connection with the proposed merger, VFG filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement on Form S-4 on September 21, 2007, and amended the S-4 on October 26, 2007, to register the shares of VFG common stock to be issued to the shareholders of FNB. The joint proxy statement/prospectus, once the registration statement is declared effective, will be sent to the shareholders of VFG and FNB seeking their approval of the merger. In addition, VFG and FNB each may file other relevant documents concerning the proposed merger with the SEC.

 

10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, FASB Issued Statement No. 157 (SFAS 157), “Fair Value Measurements” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and for interim periods within those years. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the related disclosure requirements. The adoption of SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements”. This consensus concludes that for a split-dollar life insurance arrangement within the scope of this issue, an employer should recognize a liability for future benefits in accordance with FASB Statement No. 106 (if, in substance, a postretirement benefit plan exits) or APB Opinion No. 12 (if the arrangement is, in substance, an individual deferred compensation contract) based on the substantive agreement with the employee. The implementation of EITF 06-4 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, The Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF 06-5, “Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance- Determining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4” . This consensus concludes that a policyholder should consider any additional amounts included in the contractual terms of the insurance policy other than the cash surrender value in determining the amount that could be realized under the insurance contract. A consensus also was reached that a policyholder should determine the amount that could be realized under the life insurance contract assuming the surrender of an individual-life by individual-life policy (or certificate by certificate in a group policy). The consensuses are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The implementation of EITF 06-5 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, FASB Issued Statement No. 159 (SFAS 159), “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (as amended)” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements.

This statement establishes the fair value option and permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings (or another performance indicator if the business entity does not report earnings) at each subsequent reporting date. The adoption of SFAS 159 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The fair value option:

1. May be applied instrument by instrument, with a few exceptions, such as investments otherwise accounted for by the equity method

2. Is irrevocable (unless a new election date occurs)

3. Is applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments.

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, on January 1, 2007. Previously, the Company had accounted for tax consequences in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 5 (SFAS 5), “Accounting for Contingencies”. As required by Interpretation No. 48, which clarifies Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. At the adoption date, the Company applied Interpretation 48 to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remained open. As a result of the implementation of Interpretation 48, the Company recorded no adjustment for future tax benefits.

Forward-looking statements are based on management’s expectations as well as certain assumptions and estimates made by, and information available to management at the time the statements are made and are, therefore, subject to various risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from the views and projections expressed in such statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to:

 

   

Our ability to achieve the earnings expectations related to the businesses that were acquired, or that may be acquired in the future, including our announced plan to merge with FNB Corporation, which in turn depends on a variety of factors, including:

 

   

Our ability to achieve the anticipated cost savings and revenue enhancements with the respect to the acquired operations;

 

   

The continued growth of the markets that the acquired entities serve, consistent with recent historical experience;

 

   

The difficulties related to the integration of the businesses, including retention of key personnel and integration of information systems.

 

   

Competitive pressure in the banking industry or in VFG’s markets may increase significantly,

 

   

Changes in the interest rate environment may reduce margins,

 

   

General economic conditions, either nationally or regionally, may be less favorable than expected, resulting in, among other things, credit quality deterioration,

 

   

Changes may occur in banking legislation and regulation,

 

   

Changes may occur in general business conditions, and

 

   

Changes may occur in the securities markets.

When we use words such as “believes”, “expects”, “anticipates” or similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s analysis only as of the date thereof. VFG undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS

OF OPERATIONS

 

OVERVIEW

Virginia Financial Group, Inc. is a bank holding company incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Currently, VFG is one of the largest independent bank holding companies headquartered in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Affiliates of VFG include: Planters Bank & Trust Company of Virginia—in Staunton, Second Bank & Trust—in Fredericksburg and Virginia Commonwealth Trust Company—in Culpeper. The organization has a network of thirty-five branches serving a contiguous market throughout central, south central and southwest Virginia. Virginia Commonwealth Trust Company has offices in Culpeper, Charlottesville, Fredericksburg, Harrisonburg and Staunton.

Critical Accounting Policies

General

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States “GAAP”. The financial information contained within our statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained either when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. We use historical loss factors as one factor in determining inherent losses in our loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly from the historical factors that we use.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have been incurred, but not realized through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The Company’s banking subsidiaries conduct an analysis of the loan portfolio on a regular basis. This analysis is used in assessing the sufficiency of the allowance for loan losses and in the determination of the necessary provision for loan losses. The review process generally begins with lenders identifying problem loans to be reviewed on an individual basis for impairment. When a loan has been identified as impaired, a specific reserve may be established based on management’s calculation of the loss embedded in the individual loan. In addition to impairment testing, the banking subsidiaries have an eight point grading system for each non-homogeneous loan in the portfolio. Loans meeting the criteria for impairment are segregated for analysis from performing loans within the portfolio. Loans are then grouped by loan type and, in the case of commercial and construction loans, by risk rating. Each loan type is assigned an allowance factor based on historical loss experience, economic conditions, and overall portfolio quality including delinquency rates and commercial real estate loan concentrations. The total of specific reserves required for impaired classified loans and the calculated reserves by loan category are then used to compute an estimated range of losses which is then compared to the recorded allowance for loan losses. This is the methodology used to determine the sufficiency of the allowance for loan losses and the amount of the provision for loan losses. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.

Table of Contents

VIRGINIA FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS

OF OPERATIONS

 

Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Larger groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment.

Goodwill

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”), effective January 1, 2002. Accordingly, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization over its estimated useful life, but is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair value based test. Additionally, under SFAS 142, acquired intangible assets (such as core deposit intangibles) are separately recognized if the benefit of the asset can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged, and amortized over their useful life. Branch acquisition transactions were outside the scope of SFAS 142 and, accordingly, intangible assets related to such transactions continued to amortize upon the adoption of SFAS 142. The cost of purchased deposit relationships and other intangible assets, based on independent valuation, are being amortized over their estimated lives not to exceed fifteen years. Amortization expense charged to operations was $485 thousand and $417 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Income Taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. Deferred taxes are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has a stock-based employee compensation plan under which nonqualified stock options may be granted periodically to certain employees. The Company’s stock options typically have an exercise price equal to at least the fair value of the stock on the date of grant, and vest based on continued service with the Company for a specified period, generally five years. The Company has adopted SFAS 123R, which requires that compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. The cost is measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued.

SFAS 123R also requires that new awards to employees eligible for retirement prior to the award becoming fully vested be recognized as compensation cost over the period through the date that the employee first becomes eligible to retire and is no longer required to provide service to earn the award.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This report refers to the efficiency ratio, which is computed by dividing non-interest expense by the sum of net interest income on a tax equivalent basis and non-interest income excluding gains or losses on securities, fixed assets and foreclosed assets. This is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe provides investors with important information regarding our operational efficiency. Such information is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and should not be construed as such. Management believes such financial information is meaningful to the reader in understanding operating performance, but cautions that such information not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP. VFG, in referring to its net income, is referring to income under GAAP.

Results of Operations

VFG’s third quarter 2007 earnings were $4.3 million, down 14.7% from $5.1 million for the third quarter of 2006. Net income per diluted share was $0.40, down 14.9% from $0.47 for the same period in 2006. VFG’s earnings for the third quarter of 2007 produced an annualized return on average assets (“ROA”) of 1.10% and an annualized return on average equity (“ROE”) of 10.96%, compared to prior year ratios of 1.27% and 13.88%, respectively. For the first nine months of 2007, net income was $12.9 million, down 12.8% from $14.8 million for the same period in 2006. Net income per diluted share was $1.19, down 12.5% from $1.36 for the first nine months of 2006. ROA and ROE for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 were 1.09% and 11.19%, respectively, compared to 1.27% and 13.88% for the same period in 2006.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income amounted to $14.4 million for the third quarter of 2007, down $767 thousand or 5.1% compared with $15.2 million for the same quarter in 2006. The net interest margin for the third quarter of 2007 was 4.06%, down fifteen basis points when compared to 4.21% for the third quarter of 2006. Higher funding costs associated with competition for deposits in local markets and greater use of wholesale funding, coupled with a lower rate of growth in loans receivable and average earning assets, led to this decrease in net interest margin and revenues for the period.

On a sequential basis, the net interest margin was down seven basis points from the 4.13% margin for the second quarter (normalized for previously disclosed interest adjustment on a participation loan). This drop was due in most part to a drop in asset yields sequentially, with an average yield on assets of 6.87% for the third quarter of 2007, compared to 6.99% for the second quarter of 2007 and 6.78% for the third quarter of 2006. Loan yields were impacted by prepayment activity, the Federal Open Market Committee recent reduction of the Fed funds target rate which led to a fifty basis point decrease in the prime rate and an increase in non-accruals for the period. On a linked quarter basis, the average cost of interest bearing liabilities remained stable at 3.43% for the both the second and third quarters of 2007 and increased twenty-four basis points when compared to 3.19% for the third quarter of 2006.

The net interest margin for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 was 4.11%, compared to 4.31% for the same period in 2006. Continuing pressures of a flat yield curve, loan prepayment activity, strong competition for deposits and increased use of wholesale funding contributed to this contraction. Given that approximately 34% of VFG’s loan portfolio immediately repriced with the fifty basis point decrease in the prime rate during the third quarter, and the fact that VFG’s balance sheet is slightly asset sensitive, some additional margin contraction is anticipated in the fourth quarter.

Noninterest Income

Total non-interest income was $4.3 million for both the second and third quarters of 2007 and up 4.7% compared with $4.1 million for the third quarter of 2006. Retail banking fee income increased $215 thousand or 12.0% to $2.0 million, compared to $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2006. The increase in retail banking fee income is a result of increased NSF fees and debit card fee income, partly attributable to the High Performance Checking Account Program. Mortgage banking revenue amounted to $602 thousand, a decrease of $84 thousand or 12.2%, as compared to $686 thousand for the third quarter of 2006, and down sequentially $43 thousand or 6.7% from the second quarter of 2007. Revenues from trust and brokerage for the third quarter were $1.0 million, up $143 thousand or 15.9% compared to $897 thousand in the third quarter of 2006, and down sequentially $111 thousand or 9.6% from the second quarter of 2007. Fiduciary and brokerage assets under management were $617 million at September 30, 2007, down from $633 million at June 30, 2007. Included in other non-interest income during third quarter 2007 was income associated with an investment in bank owned life insurance of $135 thousand for the third quarter 2007 and $366 thousand for the nine month period, compared to $119 thousand in 2006 for each period, respectively.

Noninterest Expense

Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2007 amounted to $12.4 million, up $463 thousand or 3.9% from $11.9 million for the same period in 2006, and down sequentially $466 thousand or 3.6% from the second quarter of 2007. Compensation and benefits decreased $402 thousand or 5.7% sequentially from second quarter 2007 and $72 thousand or 1.0% compared to third quarter 2006, reflecting reductions associated with five branch closings during the quarter and previous initiatives to improve efficiency. Marketing increases of $87 thousand or 22.1% sequentially, and $148 thousand or 44.6% as compared to the third quarter of 2006 are attributable to the previously announced High Performance Checking Account Program. Other expense increased $102 thousand or 5.6% from second quarter 2007, and $220 thousand or 12.56% compared to third quarter 2006, reflecting an increase in various fraud related losses ($198 thousand) incurred during the quarter in the normal course of business.

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2007, non-interest expense amounted to $37.5 million, an increase of $2.7 million or 7.7% over $34.9 million for the same period in 2006. This increase reflects incremental operating costs primarily in compensation, occupancy and supplies of $1.3 million associated with four branches and two loan production offices during 2006 and 2007, respectively. Additionally, the DDA account acquisition initiative mentioned previously contributed approximately $355 thousand to this increase during the nine month period. VFG’s efficiency ratio was 64.7% for the quarter, compared to 60.8% for the same quarter in 2006. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2007, the efficiency ratio was 65.0%, compared to 59.6% for the same period in 2006.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the third quarter of 2007 was $1.7 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 28.8% compared to $2.2 million, or 30.6%, for the third quarter of 2006. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2007, income tax expense amounted to $5.3 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 29.2% compared to $6.5 million, or 30.7% for the same period in 2006. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the nine month period is a result of tax free income generated by the purchase of bank owned life insurance in July 2006, and an increase in earnings from tax-exempt securities as a percentage of total income. The average balance of tax-exempt securities for the third quarter of 2007 increased by $9.0 million over the same period last year, resulting in an increase in related tax-exempt interest income.

Asset Quality

VFG’s ratio of non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets amounted to 0.47% as of September 30, 2007, compared to 0.18% at September 30, 2006 and 0.20% at June 30, 2007. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans receivable amounted to 0.03% for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, compared to net recoveries of (0.02%) for the same period in 2006. At September 30, 2007, the allowance for loan losses was approximately two times the level of non-performing assets, while the allowance as a percentage of total loans amounted to 1.21%. VFG recorded a provision for loan losses of $200 thousand for the third quarter, compared to no provision for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The increase in non-performing assets and provision for loan losses is a result of a $4.1 million commercial real estate loan that was put on nonaccrual status during the quarter coupled with a continuing decline in the real estate market conditions in VFG’s primary markets. For the nine month period, the provision for loan losses amounted to $365 thousand, compared to net charge-offs of $248 thousand for the period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capital Resources

The management of capital in a regulated financial services industry must properly balance return on equity to stockholders while maintaining sufficient capital levels and related risk-based capital ratios to satisfy regulatory requirements. Additionally, capital management must also consider acquisition opportunities that may exist, and the resulting accounting treatment. The Company’s capital management strategies have been developed to provide attractive rates of returns to stockholders, while maintaining its “well-capitalized” position at each of the banking subsidiaries.

The primary source of additional capital to the Company is earnings retention, which represents net income less dividends declared. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company retained $7.7 million, or 59.7% of its net income. Stockholders’ equity increased by $8.5 million, reflecting the earnings retention, stock based compensation and option exercises totaling $368 thousand and an increase of $440 thousand in accumulated comprehensive income net of tax.

The Company and its banking subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company and the subsidiary banks’ financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and its banking subsidiaries must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and reclassifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and its banking subsidiaries to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital to average assets. As of September 30, 2007, the Company and the subsidiary banks met all minimum capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject and are categorized as “well capitalized.” There are no conditions or events that management believes have changed the subsidiary banks’ well capitalized position.

The following table includes information with respect to the Company’s risk-based capital and equity levels as of September 30, 2007 (In thousands):

   $ 162,622

Liquidity

Liquidity is identified as the ability to generate or acquire sufficient amounts of cash when needed and at a reasonable cost to accommodate withdrawals, payments of debt, and increased loan demand. These events may occur daily or other short-term intervals in the normal operation of the business. Experience helps management predict time cycles in the amount of cash required. In assessing liquidity, management gives consideration to relevant factors including stability of deposits, quality of assets, economy of markets served, concentrations of business and industry, competition, and the Company’s overall financial condition. The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are cash, securities in our available for sale portfolio and a $15 million line of credit with a correspondent bank. In addition, the Banks have substantial lines of credit from their correspondent banks and access to the Federal Reserve discount window and Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta to support liquidity as conditions dictate.

The liquidity of the Company also represents an important aspect of liquidity management. The Company’s cash outflows consist of overhead associated with corporate expenses, executive management, finance, marketing, human resources, loan and deposit operations, information technology, audit, compliance and loan review functions. It also includes outflows associated with dividends to shareholders. The main sources of funding for the Company are the management fees and dividends it receives from its banking and trust subsidiaries, a working line of credit with a correspondent bank, and availability of the subordinated debt security market as deemed necessary. The Company’s capital base provides the resource and ability to support the assets of the Company and provide capital for future expansion.

In the judgment of management, the Company maintains the ability to generate sufficient amounts of cash to cover normal requirements and any additional funds as needs may arise.

Off Balance Sheet Items

There have been no material changes to the off balance sheet items disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” in VFG’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to the contractual obligations disclosed in VFG’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

Effects of Inflation

The effect of changing prices on financial institutions is typically different from other industries as the Company’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Interest rates and thus the Company’s asset liability management is impacted by changes in inflation, but there is not a direct correlation between the two measures. Management monitors the impact of inflation on the financial markets.

There have been no significant changes to the quantitative and qualitative market risk disclosures in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We are required to include in our periodic reports information regarding our controls and procedures for complying with the disclosure requirements of the federal securities laws. These disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information related to the Company is made known to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer on a regular basis, in particular during the periods in which our quarterly and annual reports are being prepared. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of these disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report and, based on their evaluation, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are operating effectively.

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that our disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover every situation involving the failure of persons within the organization to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our period reports.

Our management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting and control of our assets to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting or control of assets during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting or control of assets.
