KRONOS ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - ACCOUNTING MATTERS
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information.
Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
information set forth therein have been included. Operating results for the
three-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 and are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be experienced for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 2004.
These financial statements are those of the Company and its wholly-owned
subsidiary. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Kronos Advanced Technologies, Inc. Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June
30, 2003 filed on September 28, 2003.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS. In April 2003, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 on
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This Statement amends and
clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts
(collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under FASB
Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities." The Company believes the adoption of SFAS 149 will have no
significant impact on its financial statements. The statement is effective for
contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003.
In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 150,
"Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both
Liabilities and Equity." This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer
classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of
both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial
instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some
circumstances). SFAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or
modified after May 31, 2003 and, otherwise is effective at the beginning of the
first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The effect of adopting SFAS
No. 150 has been to reclassify $805,300 in Redeemable Warrants from a
quasi-liability to the equity section of the balance sheet.
NOTE 2 -- INCOME TAXES
The composition of deferred tax assets and the related tax effects at September
30, 2003 and June 30, 2003 are as follows:
September 30, 2003
(Unaudited) June 30, 2003
------------------ ----------------
Benefit from carryforward of capital
and net operating losses $ 4,221,374 $ 4,034,973
Other temporary differences 156,740 188,206
Less:
Valuation allowance (4,378,114) (4,223,179)
----------------- ----------------
Net deferred tax asset $ - $ -
================= ================
The other temporary differences shown above relate primarily to accrued and
deferred compensation. The difference between the income tax benefit in the
accompanying statements of operations and the amount that would result if the U.
S. Federal statutory rate of 34% were applied to pre-tax loss is as follows:
September 30, 2003 June 30, 2003
------------------------------ ------------------------------
% %
(Unaudited) of of
Amount Pre-Tax Loss Amount Pre-Tax Loss
------------- -------------- ----------- --------------
Benefit for income tax at federal statutory rate $ 187,170 34.0% $ 941,746 34.0%
Benefit for income tax at state statutory rate 10,973 2.0% 55,208 2.0%
Non-deductible expenses (43,208) (7.9)% 319,977 11.7%
Increase in valuation allowance (154,935) (28.1)% (1,316,931) (47.7)%
------------- -------------- ----------- ---------------
$ - 0.0% $ - 0.0%
============= ============== =========== ===============
The non-deductible expenses shown above related primarily to the amortization of
intangible assets and to the accrual of stock options for compensation using
different valuation methods for financial and tax reporting purposes.
At September 30, 2003, for federal income tax and alternative minimum tax
reporting purposes, the Company has approximately $9.2 million of unused Federal
net operating losses, $2.3 million of capital losses and $8.3 million of unused
State net operating losses available for carryforward to future years. The
benefit from carryforward of such losses will expire in various years between
2006 and 2023 and could be subject to limitations if significant ownership
changes occur in the Company.
NOTE 3 - SEGMENTS OF BUSINESS
The Company operates principally in one segment of business: The Company
licenses, manufactures and distributes air movement and purification devices
utilizing the KronosTM technology. All other segments have been disposed of or
discontinued. For the three months ended September 30, 2003, the Company
operated only in the U. S.

anti-dilutive. As of September 30, 2002, there were outstanding options and
warrants to purchase 7,641,975 and 1,900,000 shares, respectively, of the
Company's common stock. These options have been excluded from the earnings per

development and cost of sales. In the three months ended September 30, 2003, the
Company paid $4,703 in principal and $4,381 in interest on capital leases.
NOTE 7 - CONSULTING AGREEMENTS
In October 2001, the Company entered into a 15-month consulting agreement with
Joshua B. Scheinfeld and Steven G. Martin, principals of Fusion Capital, for
consulting services with respect to operations, executive employment issues,
employee staffing, strategy, capital structure and other matters as specified
from time to time. As consideration for their services, the Company issued
360,000 shares of its common stock. In accordance with EITF 96-18, the
measurement date was established as the contract date of October 1, 2001 as the
share grant was non-forfeitable and fully vested on that date. The stock was
valued on that date at $0.28 a share (the closing price for the Company's common
stock on the measurement date). The stock issuance has been recorded as a
prepaid consulting fee and was amortized to Professional Fee Expense ratably
over the 15-month term of the contract. During the three month periods ending
September 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company recognized professional services
expenses of $0 and $20,000, respectively under this agreement.
Effective March 11, 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with the Eagle
Rock Group for a nearly one year period ending March 1, 2003. Pursuant to the
agreement, the Company issued a note for the outstanding balance of $120,000 due
to The Eagle Rock Group, which has been paid in full. The Company granted Eagle
Rock a ten-year warrant granting them the right to purchase 900,000 shares of
our common stock. Two hundred and fifty thousand (250,000) warrant shares at an
exercise price of $0.42 and two hundred and fifty thousand (250,000) warrant
shares at an exercise price of $0.205 (the closing price of the Company's
common stock on March 1, 2002) were earned over a 12-month period and four
hundred thousand (400,000) warrant shares at an exercise price of $0.145 were
earned upon securing of our Licensing Agreement with HoMedics. These warrants
are irrevocable and are fully vested. For the 400,000 warrants earned upon
securing the HoMedics License Agreement, the measurement date is October 22,
2003 as the warrants became fully vested and non-forfeitable on the date. The
value assigned to these 400,000 warrants is $56,800 and was determined using the
Black-Scholes option valuation model. The $56,800 was expensed in the period of
the measurement date. For the other 500,000 warrants, the measurement date is
March 1, 2002 as the warrants are fully vested and non-forfeitable on that date.
The value assigned to these warrants is $62,500 and was determined using the
Black-Scholes option valuation model. The 500,000 warrants are for general
consulting services for a 12 month period. The $62,500 was expensed ratably over
the term of the consulting contract. Under this contract, expenses of $0 and
$15,625 were recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002,
respectively.
Also see Note 10 - Subsequent Events
NOTE 8 - REALIZATION OF ASSETS
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which
contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has
sustained losses from operations in recent years, and such losses have continued
through the current quarter ended September 30, 2003. In addition, the Company
has used, rather than provided cash in its operations. The Company is currently
using its resources to raise capital necessary to complete research and
development work, and to provide for its working capital needs.
In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraph, recoverability of a
major portion of the asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is
dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent
upon the Company's ability to meet its financing requirements on a continuing
basis, to maintain present financing and to succeed in its future operations.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be
unable to continue in existence.
Management has taken the following steps with respect to its operating and
financial requirements, which it believes are sufficient to provide the Company
with the ability to continue in existence:
HoMedics Licensing Agreement. In October 2002, Kronos Air Technologies, Inc.,
and HoMedics USA, Inc. executed a multiyear, multi-million-dollar Licensing
Agreement to bring Kronos(TM) proprietary technology to the consumer. The
agreement provides for exclusive North American, Australian and New Zealand
retail distribution rights for next generation consumer air movement and
purification products based on the patented Kronos(TM) technology. In November
2002, Kronos and HoMedics executed a Development Agreement to provide Kronos
with the financial resources necessary to complete commercialization of the
initial Kronos(TM)-based consumer product line. Kronos is working with HoMedics'
engineers, designers, manufacturers, and marketing and sales personnel to
complete the initial product line for sales and distribution. HoMedics is
focused on product design and features, completion of manufacturing tooling and
assembly line processes, and product packaging, including prominent display of
the "Kronos" brand. Kronos is focused on completion of the technical hardware
and related power supplies for each of the products in the air purification
product line, as well as on developing product features and benefits unique to
this initial consumer product line.
The initial term of the agreement is three and one half years with the option to
extend the agreement for six additional years. Kronos will be compensated
through an initial royalty payment and ongoing quarterly royalty payments based
on a percentage of sales. HoMedics will pay minimum royalty payments of at least
$2 million during the initial term and on-going royalty payments to extend the
agreement. Kronos will retain full rights to all of its intellectual property.
US Navy SBIR. In November 2002, Kronos was awarded by the U. S. Navy a Small
Business Innovation Research ("SBIR") Phase II contract. The Phase II contract
(commercialization phase) is an extension of the Phase I and the Phase I Option
work that began in 2001. It is intended that the Kronos(TM) devices being
developed under this contract will be embedded in existing HVAC systems in order
to move air more efficiently than traditional, fan-based technology. During
Phase II, Kronos shall develop, produce and install a set of fully controlled
devices that represent a "cell" of an advanced distributive air management
system with medium capacity airflow in a U. S. Navy unique environment. The
"cell" will be designed to be easily adjustable to a variety of parameters such
as duct size, airflow requirements, and air quality. As of September 30, 2003,
U. S. Navy had provided Kronos with $150,000 in funding for this effort under
the Phase II contract.
HoMedics Debt Financing. In May 2003, Kronos entered into an agreement with
HoMedics, Inc. for $3.5 million in financing, including $3.4 million in secured
debt financing and $100,000 for the purchase of warrants. $2.5 million was paid
to Kronos upon execution of the agreement and $1.0 million will be paid upon the
start of production as defined in the Licensing Agreement for the
Kronos(TM)-based air purification product line to be marketed and distributed by
HoMedics. In conjunction with securing this financing, Kronos and HoMedics
agreed to negotiate the expansion of our relationship into additional
Kronos(TM)-based stand-alone consumer products, including fans, heaters,
humidifiers and dehumidifiers, as well as geographic expansion into Europe and
Asia.
US Army SBIR. See Note 10 - Subsequent Events.
NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In May 2003, Kronos entered into an agreement with a strategic customer,
HoMedics, Inc., for $3.5 million in financing, including $3.4 million in secured
debt financing and $100,000 for the purchase of warrants. $2.5 million was paid
to Kronos upon execution of the agreement and $1.0 million will be paid upon the
start of production as defined in the Licensing Agreement for the Kronos-based
air purification product line to be marketed and distributed by HoMedics.
HoMedics has a security interest in the Company's assets including its
technology. There is a risk that we will not be successful in achieving
production as defined in the Licensing Agreement. In exchange for providing $3.4
million in debt financing and $100,000, Kronos provided HoMedics with two
warrants: (i) 6.7 million warrants (which equated to 10% of the then fully
diluted shares) fully vested at the time of funding and (ii) 6.7 million
warrants (which equated to 10% of the then fully diluted shares) which will vest
only if (1) Kronos does not prepay the entire amount of principal and interest
due under the Notes by November 8, 2005; (2) Kronos is in default under any of
the Investment Documents, or (3) Kronos does not earn, at any time after the
date of this Agreement but prior to November 8, 2005, revenues in an aggregate
amount equal to or greater than $3.5 million. The exercise price was set at the
market price at the time of closing ($0.10). HoMedics may not be diluted below
7.5% for the first warrant (15% for both warrants) for any funds raised at less
than $0.20 per share, excluding options or shares issued to management,
directors, and consultants in the normal course of business. There are no
anti-dilution measures in place for funds raised at greater than $0.20 per
share.
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
The Company entered into an Employment Agreement with Daniel R. Dwight, our
President and Chief Executive Officer, effective as of November 15, 2001. The
initial term of the Employment Agreement is for 2 years and will automatically
renew for successive 1 year terms unless written notice within 3 months of the
end of the initial term or any subsequent renewal term is received by either
party. The Board of Directors renewed the Employment Agreement on August 13,
2003. The Employment Agreement provides for base cash compensation of $180,000
per year and eligibility for annual incentive bonus compensation in an amount
equal to annual salary based on the achievement of certain bonus objectives. In
addition, the Company granted 1,000,000 immediately vested and exercisable,
ten-year stock options at various exercise prices.
The Company entered into an Employment agreement with Richard F. Tusing, our
Chief Operating Officer, effective as of January 1, 2003. The initial term of
the Employment Agreement is for 2 years and will automatically renew for
successive 1 year terms unless written notice within 3 months of the end of the
initial term or any subsequent renewal term is received by either party. The
Employment Agreement provides for base cash compensation of $160,000 per year.
NOTE 10 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 6, 2003, Erik W. Black resigned as a member of the board of
directors.
On October 31, 2003, the Company entered into a 10-month consulting agreement
with Joshua B. Scheinfeld and Steven G. Martin, principals of Fusion Capital,
for consulting services with respect to operations, strategy, capital structure
and other matters as specified from time to time. As consideration for their
services, the Company issued 360,000 unregistered shares of its common stock. In
accordance with EITF 96-18, the measurement date was established as the contract
date of October 31, 2003 as the share grant was non-forfeitable and fully vested
on that date. The stock was valued on that date at $0.22 a share (the closing
price for the Company's common stock on the measurement date). The stock
issuance has been recorded as a prepaid consulting fee and is being amortized to
Professional Fee Expense ratably over the term of the contract.
On November 7, 2003, the U. S. Army awarded Kronos a Small Business Innovation
Research Phase II contract. The first year of the contract is worth $369,000
with an Army option on the second year worth $360,000. The contract is to
develop Kronos' proprietary Electrostatic Dehumidification Technology ("EDT").
The objective of this Phase II effort is to implement and optimize
dehumidification via Kronos electrostatic field technology. The objective is to
be accomplished by: (1) prototype design and manufacturing, (2) prototype
testing in the laboratory environment and field demonstration, (3) analytical
and numerical modeling of Kronos' EDT process, and (4) project documentation and
reporting including interim and final reports.

GENERAL
Kronos Advanced Technologies, Inc. is a high technology industrial company
focused on developing, marketing and selling products using the Company's
proprietary air movement and purification technology. Kronos is pursuing
commercialization of its patented technology in a limited number of markets; and
if we are successful we intend to enter additional markets in the future. To
date, our ability to execute our strategy has been restricted by our limited
amount of capital.
Technology Description and Benefits
The Kronos(TM) technology combines high voltage electronics and electrodes. By
combining these technologies, a Kronos(TM)-based device can both move and clean
air without any moving parts. Kronos(TM) devices are versatile, energy- and
cost-efficient and capable of multiple design forms. As a result, Kronos(TM)
devices have the immediate potential to be used as a standalone product or to
replace a range of heating, ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC") products
for residential usage to high efficiency particulate air ("HEPA") filtration
systems for operating and manufacturing clean rooms.
The proprietary Kronos(TM) technology involves the application of high voltage
management across paired electrical grids to create an ion exchange that moves
and purifies air. Kronos(TM) technology has numerous valuable characteristics.
It moves air and gases at high velocities while removing odors, smoke and
particulates and killing pathogens, including bacteria and mold. The technology
is cost-effective and is more energy efficient than current alternative fan and
filter (including HEPA filter and ultraviolet light based) technologies. To
date, no commercial products using the Kronos(TM) technology have been sold.
A number of the scientific claims of the Kronos(TM) technology have been tested
by the U. S. government and a few multi-national companies, including the U. S.
Department of Energy, the U. S. Department of Defense, General Dynamics,
Underwriters Laboratory, and Intel. Independent laboratory testing has verified
the purification capability of the Kronos(TM) technology. Tests conducted at
MicroTest Laboratories and at the New Hampshire Materials Laboratory
demonstrated HEPA Clean Room Class 1000 quality particulate reduction and up to
95% reduction of hazardous gases (in one air pass through the Kronos(TM)
system), including numerous contaminants found in cigarette smoke.
Market Segmentation
Kronos' business development strategy is to sell and license the Kronos(TM)
technology to six distinct market segments: (1) air movement and purification
(health care, hospitality, residential and commercial facilities); (2) air
purification for unique spaces (cleanrooms, automotive, cruise ships and
airplanes); (3) specialized military (naval vessels, closed vehicles and mobile
facilities); (4) embedded cooling and cleaning (electronic devices and medical
equipment); (5) industrial scrubbing (produce storage and diesel and other
emissions); and (6) hazardous gas destruction (incineration and chemical
facilities).
Kronos' initial focus is on the first three of these market segments which are
described in more detail below. Kronos is currently developing products for the
air movement and purification, air purification for unique spaces, and
specialized military through customer contracts which were executed over the
past twelve months. These contracts are described in more detail in the
Technology Application and Product Development section of this filing.
o Air Movement and Purification. Indoor air pollution, including "sick
building syndrome" and "building related illness," is primarily caused
by inadequate ventilation, chemical contaminants from indoor and
outdoor sources and biological contaminants. The addressable air
movement and purification segment is made up of four principal
applications: (1) health care, (2) hospitality, (3) commercial and (4)
residential. Kronos is seeking to leverage the product development and
funding resources of HoMedics, Inc., Kronos' strategic partner for
consumer-based residential applications, to develop standalone products
for other air movement and purification applications.
o Air Purification for Unique Spaces. Electronics, semiconductor,
pharmaceutical, aerospace, medical and many other producers depend on
cleanroom technology. As products such as electronic devices become
smaller, the chance of contamination in manufacturing becomes higher.
For pharmaceutical companies, clean, safe and contaminant-free products
are imperative to manufacturing and distributing a viable product.
Other potential applications for the Kronos(TM) technology include
closed environments such as aircraft, cruise ships and other
transportation modes that require people to breathe contaminated,
re-circulated air for extended periods. Kronos is building on its
product development effort with its strategic partner in the business
jet market to serve other closed environment applications.
o Specialized Military. Military personnel face the worst of all possible
worlds: indoor air pollution, often in very confined spaces for
extended periods, combined with the threat of biological warfare,
nuclear fallout, and other foreign elements. The military market
segment offers Kronos a unique opportunity to leverage the technical
and funding resources of the U. S. military to expand Kronos ability to
develop and produce Kronos(TM)-based air movers and purifiers for
applications that require these products to be embedded into
ventilation systems to address the needs of military personnel.
Technology Application and Product Development
To best serve Kronos' targeted market segments, our Company is developing
specific product applications across two distinct product application platforms.
A Kronos(TM) device can be either used as a standalone product or can be
embedded. Standalone products are self-contained and only require the user to
plug the Kronos(TM) device into a wall outlet to obtain air filtration for their
home, office or hotel room. Embedded applications of the Kronos(TM) technology
require the technology be added into another system such as a building
ventilation system for more efficient air movement and filtration or into an
electrical device such as computer or medical equipment to replace the cooling
fan.
Standalone Platform
o HoMedics Contract. In October 2002, Kronos Air Technologies, Inc., and
HoMedics USA, Inc. executed a Licensing Agreement granting HoMedics
certain rights with respect to the distribution of the Kronos(TM)
proprietary technology to the consumer. The agreement provides for
exclusive North American, Australian and New Zealand retail
distribution rights for next generation consumer air movement and
purification products based on the patented Kronos(TM) technology. In
November 2002, Kronos and HoMedics executed a Development Agreement to
provide Kronos with the financial resources believed necessary to
complete commercialization of the initial Kronos(TM)-based consumer
product line. Kronos is working with HoMedics' engineers, designers,
manufacturers, and marketing and sales personnel to complete the
initial product line for sales and distribution. HoMedics is focused
on product design and features, completion of manufacturing tooling
and assembly line processes, and product packaging, including
prominent display of the "Kronos" brand. Kronos is focused on
completion of the technical hardware and related power supplies for
each of the products in the air purification product line, as well as
on developing product features and benefits unique to this initial
consumer product line.
The initial term of the agreement is three and one half years with the
option to extend the Licensing Agreement for six additional years.
Kronos was compensated through an initial royalty payment and will
receive ongoing quarterly royalty payments based on a percentage of
sales. HoMedics will pay minimum royalty payments of at least $2
million during the initial three and a half year term and on-going
royalty payments to extend the agreement. Kronos will retain the rights
to all of its intellectual property.
HoMedics commitment includes funding a marketing and advertising
campaign to promote the Kronos(TM)-based product line. The products
will be manufactured and distributed by HoMedics. HoMedics currently
distributes their products through major domestic retailers, including
Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Sears, Bed Bath & Beyond, and Linens 'N Things.
Kronos will manufacture and provide HoMedics with Kronos' proprietary
electronics.
In May 2003, Kronos entered into an agreement with HoMedics, Inc. for
$3.5 million in financing, including $3.4 million in secured debt
financing and $100,000 for the purchase of warrants. $2.5 million was
paid to Kronos upon execution of the agreement and $1.0 million will be
paid upon the start of production as defined in the Licensing Agreement
for the Kronos(TM)-based air purification product line to be marketed
and distributed by HoMedics. A provision of the agreement gives
HoMedics a security interest in the assets of Kronos, including its
technology. In conjunction with securing this financing, Kronos and
HoMedics agreed to negotiate the expansion of our relationship into
additional Kronos(TM)-based stand-alone consumer products, including
fans, heaters, humidifiers and dehumidifiers, as well as geographic
expansion into Europe and Asia.
Kronos is seeking to leverage its consumer product development work
with HoMedics to develop and produce our own commercial line of
standalone air purifiers. This commercial line of Kronos(TM)-based air
purifiers would attempt to address the specific air quality issues,
including odors, bacteria and viruses, found in most nursing home and
assisted living, healthcare and other commercial facilities.
Embedded Platform
o U. S. Navy SBIR Contracts. The U. S. Department of Defense and
Department of Energy have provided Kronos with various grants and
contracts to develop, test and evaluate the Kronos(TM) technology for
embedded applications. Kronos has developed several commercial and
industrial applications, including the retrofit of berthing fan
systems and embedded air movement systems for U. S. Navy Aegis Class
destroyers.
In November 2002, the U. S. Navy awarded Kronos a Small Business
Innovation Research Phase II contract worth $580,000, plus an option of
$145,000. The Phase II contract (commercialization phase) is an
extension of the Phase I and the Phase I Option work that began in
2001. It is intended that the Kronos(TM) devices being developed under
this contract will be embedded in existing HVAC systems in order to
move air more efficiently than traditional, fan-based technology.
During Phase II, Kronos will attempt to develop, produce and install a
set of fully controlled devices that represent a "cell" of an advanced
distributive air management system with medium capacity airflow in a U.
S. Navy unique environment. The "cell" will be designed to be easily
adjustable to a variety of parameters such as duct size, airflow
requirements, and air quality. The goal of this development work is to
significantly reduce or replace altogether the current HVAC air
handling systems on naval ships. During the initial six months of the
contract, Kronos has designed a new generation power supply, improved
the efficiency of the core technology to allow for increased air
movement and filtration, and initiated selection with the U. S. Navy of
the specifications for the commercial products to be built under the
Phase II contract. As of September 30, 2003, the U. S. Navy had
provided Kronos with $150,000 in funding for this effort under the
Phase II contract.
As part of its air management system, Kronos intends to develop and
test an air filtration mechanism capable of performing to HEPA quality
standards. We believe that Kronos(TM) devices could replace current
HEPA filters with a permanent, easily cleaned, low-cost solution. The
U. S. Navy unique environment includes shock exposure, vibration,
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility (EMI/EMC), and salt spray.
Kronos(TM) devices will be built and tested to meet specific Navy
standards. Testing shall include assessments for system performance,
including control techniques, noise levels, and acquisition and
lifecycle costs.
We believe that during the option portion of the contract, Kronos(TM)
technology's ability to kill bacteria and other pathogens will be
confirmed and expanded to a wide range of pathogens for space
disinfection and bio-terrorist attacks. We believe the Kronos(TM)
technology can kill all or most airborne pathogens regardless of their
nature, genetic structure, robustness, or method of delivery.
Kronos has begun the process for obtaining Phase III (production phase)
support for the Kronos(TM)-based advanced distributive air management
system being developed under Phase II. Phase III contracts may be
awarded prior to completion of Phase II contract work. Kronos is
working directly with Dawnbreaker, a U. S. Government entity
established for the purpose of supporting companies seeking Phase III
contracts.
o U. S. Army SBIR Contracts. In August 2003, Kronos was awarded the
option on its U. S. Army Small Business Innovation Research Phase I
contract bringing the value of the Phase I contract award to $120,000.
In July 2003, Kronos obtained a Pre-Award notice from the U. S. Army
for a Small Business Innovation Research Phase II contract. On November
7, 2003, the U. S. Army awarded Kronos the Small Business Innovation
Research Phase II contract. The first year of the contract is worth
$369,000 with an Army option on the second year worth $360,000. The
contract is to develop Kronos' proprietary Electrostatic
Dehumidification Technology ("EDT").
The objective of the Phase II effort is to implement and optimize
dehumidification via Kronos electrostatic field technology. The
objective is to be accomplished by: (1) prototype design and
manufacturing, (2) prototype testing in the laboratory environment and
field demonstration, (3) analytical and numerical modeling of Kronos'
EDT process, and (4) project documentation and reporting including
interim and final reports. We anticipate the Kronos(TM) devices
manufactured under this contract will further demonstrate the
versatility of the Kronos(TM) technology to meet airflow, system
pressure and reduced humidity requirements for HVAC systems. In
December 2001, Kronos was awarded the Phase I contract. Phase I of the
contract was worth $70,000 in funding to investigate and analyze the
feasibility of the Kronos(TM) technology to reduce humidity in HVAC
systems. Dehumidification is essential to making HVAC systems more
energy efficient.
Kronos is seeking to leverage its military application development work
with the U. S. Navy and U. S. Army to develop and produce air handlers
and purifiers for commercial and industrial facilities. A future
potential commercial line of Kronos(TM)-based air handlers and
purifiers would attempt to address the specific air quality issues,
including bacteria and other germs, found in large enclosed spaces such
as office buildings and multi-dwelling residential complexes, while
providing more efficient air movement.
o Business Jet Manufacturer. In January 2003, Kronos extended its work
into the transportation industry by signing a Development and
Acquisition Agreement with a premier business jet manufacturer. The
Agreement was the direct result of initial prototype development work
performed by the Kronos Research Team with input from the customer in
2002. The Kronos(TM) devices being designed and manufactured under this
contract will need to meet all FAA safety standards, including
environmental, flammability and electromagnetic interference (EMI). The
Company has initiated the next phase of design and development based on
the customer's specific product application requirements.
Kronos is seeking to leverage its business jet application development
work to develop and produce air handlers and purifiers for the
commercial aviation and automotive markets. A future potential
commercial line of Kronos(TM)-based air handlers and purifiers would
attempt to address the specific air quality issues, including exhaust
and viruses, found in enclosed spaces occupied by multiple people for
extended periods of time, while providing more efficient air movement
within unique space constraints.
Patents and Intellectual Property
In August 2003, Kronos received a Notice of Allowance from the United States
Patent and Trademark Office indicating that its patent application entitled
Method of and Apparatus for "Electrostatic Fluid Acceleration Control of a Fluid
Flow" has been examined and allowed for issuance as a U. S. patent. It is
expected that the U. S. Patent will be issued in due course. This latest patent
when formally issued will provide intellectual property protection for key
aspects of Kronos' technology until late in 2020.
In January 2003, Kronos received formal notification from the United States
Patent and Trademark Office indicating that its application entitled
"Electrostatic Fluid Accelerator" has been examined and allowed for issuance as
a U. S. patent (#6,504,308). The patent provides protection for key aspects of
Kronos' technology until late in 2019.
In addition to the "Electrostatic Fluid Accelerator" and "Method of and
Apparatus for Electrostatic Fluid Acceleration Control of a Fluid Flow" patents,
a number of additional patent applications have been filed for, among other
things, the control and management of electrostatic fluid acceleration. These
additional patent applications are either being examined or are awaiting
examination by the Patent Office. There are a number of corresponding patent
applications, which have been filed and are pending outside of the United
States.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We provide a reserve against our receivables
for estimated losses that may result from our customers' inability to pay. These
reserves are based on potential uncollectible accounts, aged receivables,
historical losses and our customers' credit-worthiness. Should a customer's
account become past due, we generally will place a hold on the account and
discontinue further shipments and/or services provided to that customer,
minimizing further risk of loss.
Valuation of Goodwill, Intangible and Other Long Lived Assets. We use
assumptions in establishing the carrying value, fair value and estimated lives
of our long-lived assets and goodwill. The criteria used for these evaluations
include management's estimate of the asset's ability to generate positive income
from operations and positive cash flow in future periods compared to the
carrying value of the asset, the strategic significance of any identifiable
intangible asset in our business objectives, as well as the market
capitalization of Kronos. We have used certain key assumptions in building the
cash flow projections required for evaluating the recoverablility of our
intangible assets. We have assumed revenues from the following applications of
Kronos' technology: consumer stand-alone devices, assisted care/skilled nursing
stand-alone devices, embedded devices in the hospitality industry and in
specialized military applications. Expenses/cash out flows in our projections
include sales and marketing, production, distribution, general and
administrative expenses, research and development expenses and capital
expenditures. These expenses are based on management estimates and have been
compared with industry norms (relative to sales) to determine their
reasonableness. We use the same key assumptions for our cash flow evaluation as
we do for internal budgeting, lenders and other third parties; therefore, they
are internally and externally consistent with financial statement and other
public and private disclosures. We are not aware of any negative implications
resulting from the projections used for purposes of evaluating the
appropriateness of the carrying value of these assets. If assets are considered
to be impaired, the impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying
value of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Useful lives and
related amortization or depreciation expense are based on our estimate of the
period that the assets will generate revenues or otherwise be used by Kronos.
Factors that would influence the likelihood of a material change in our reported
results include significant changes in the asset's ability to generate positive
cash flow, loss of legal ownership or title to the asset, a significant decline
in the economic and competitive environment on which the asset depends,
significant changes in our strategic business objectives, and utilization of the
asset.
Valuation of Deferred Income Taxes. Valuation allowances are established, when
necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The likelihood of a material change in our expected realization of these assets
is dependent on our ability to generate future taxable income, our ability to
deduct tax loss carryforwards against future taxable income, the effectiveness
of our tax planning and strategies among the various tax jurisdictions that we
operate in, and any significant changes in the tax treatment received on our
business combinations.
Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue in accordance with Securities and
Exchange Commission Staff Bulletin 101 ("SAB 101"). Further, Kronos Air
Technologies recognizes revenue on the sale of custom-designed contract sales
under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting in the ratio that costs
incurred to date bear to estimated total costs. For uncompleted contracts where
costs and estimated profits exceed billings, the net amount is included as an
asset in the balance sheet. For uncompleted contracts where billings exceed
costs and estimated profits, the net amount is included as a liability in the
balance sheet. Sales are reported net of applicable cash discounts and
allowances for returns.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company's net loss from continuing operations for the three months ended
September 30, 2003 decreased by 7% to $550,000, compared with a net loss of
$591,000 for the corresponding period of the prior year. The decrease in the net
loss was primarily the result of an increase in gross profit ($31,000) and a
decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses ($145,000) offset by an
increase in interest expense ($135,000).
REVENUE. Revenues are generated through sales of Kronos(TM) devices at Kronos
Air Technologies, Inc. Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2003 was
$130,000. Revenue of $109,000 was recorded during the corresponding period of
the prior year. These revenues were primarily from our HoMedics contract and U.
S. Navy SBIR Phase II contract. Revenues in the corresponding period of the
prior year were primarily from our U. S. Army and U. S. Navy SBIR Phase I
contracts and Alticorp contract.
COST OF SALES. Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2003 was
$83,000 compared to $92,000 for the corresponding period of the prior year. Cost
of sales in the current year is primarily development costs associated with our
HoMedics and U. S. Navy SBIR contracts. Prior year cost of sales related to
revenue from U. S. Army and U. S. Navy SBIR Phase I contracts and Alticorp
contract.
GROSS PROFIT: Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2003
increased 185% to $47,000 compared to $16,000 for the corresponding period of
the prior year. This increase was primarily the result of the higher gross
margin from our HoMedics contract in the current quarter compared with the gross
margin from our Alticor contract in the corresponding period of the prior year.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2003 decreased
25% to $429,000 compared to $574,000 for the corresponding period of the prior
year. This decrease is primarily the result of a decrease in professional
services ($240,000) offset by an increase in compensation and benefits
($68,000). The decrease in professional services was the result of a reduction
in business consulting ($153,000), and legal and auditing ($87,000) expenses.
The reduction in business consulting included the benefit to the Company from
converting our Chief Operating Officer from a consulting agreement to a full
time employment contract.
CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2003
Our total assets at September 30, 2003 and June 30, 2003 were $3.2 million.
Total assets at September 30, 2003 were comprised primarily of $2.5 million of
patents/intellectual property and $0.5 million of cash. Total assets at June 30,
2003 were comprised primarily of $2.5 million of patents/intellectual property
and $0.6 million of cash. Total current assets at September 30, 2003 and June
30, 2003 were $0.7 million, while total current liabilities for those same
periods were $2.2 million and $1.9 million, respectively, creating a working
capital deficit of $1.4 million and $1.2 million at each respective period end.
This working capital deficit is primarily due to accrued expenses for
compensation, management consulting and other professional services and the
current portion of notes payable. Shareholders' deficit as of September 30, 2003
and June 30, 2003 were $(0.5) million and $(1.2) million, respectively,
representing a decrease of $0.7 million. The decrease in shareholders' deficit
is primarily the result of a reclassification of $0.8 million in redeemable
warrants to equity based on FAS 150 and the sale and issuance of $0.5 million of
common stock, partially offset through incurring a $0.6 million loss from
continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2003.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash flow used on operating activities was $521,000 for the current three
month period. We were able to satisfy our cash requirements for this period
through funding under the terms of our secured financing from HoMedics and from
revenue on our HoMedics and U. S. Navy contracts.
On May 9, 2003, we closed on a $3.5 million secured financing from a strategic
customer, HoMedics, Inc. $2.5 million was advanced to Kronos upon execution of
the agreement and $1.0 million will be advanced upon the start of production for
the Kronos-based air purification product line to be marketed and distributed by
HoMedics.
Kronos SBIR contracts with the U. S. Military, including the U. S. Army Phase I
Option and Phase II and the U. S. Navy Phase II contracts, are potentially
worth, if all options are exercised, up to $1.5 million in product development
and testing support for Kronos Air Technologies. In November 2002, Kronos Air
Technologies was awarded by the U. S. Navy for a Small Business Innovation
Research Phase II contract worth $580,000, plus an option of $150,000. As of
September 30, 2003, Kronos has received $150,000 in funding under the U. S. Navy
SBIR Phase II contract. On November 7, 2003, the U. S. Army awarded Kronos a
Small Business Innovation Research Phase II contract. The first year of the
contract is worth $369,000 with an Army option on the second year worth
$360,000. In August 2003, Kronos Air Technologies obtained notice from the U. S.
Army for the option of the SBIR Phase I contract worth $50,000. To earn these
future amounts, we will have to complete the required work.
On June 19, 2001, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement with Fusion
Capital. Pursuant to this agreement, we have sold approximately 6 million shares
of our common stock and have received $1.3 million.
On August 12, 2002, we terminated our common stock purchase agreement dated June
19, 2001 and entered into a new common stock purchase agreement with Fusion
Capital. Pursuant to the 2002 common stock purchase agreement, Fusion Capital
has agreed to purchase on each trading day during the term of the agreement,
$10,000 of our common stock or an aggregate of $6.0 million. The $6.0 million of
our common stock can be purchased over a 30-month period, subject to a six-month
extension or earlier termination at our sole discretion and subject to certain
events. The purchase price of the shares of common stock will be equal to a
price based upon the future market price of our common stock without any fixed
discount to the then-current market price. Fusion Capital is obligated to
purchase shares under the agreement as long as the share price exceeds a floor
of $0.10. However, there can be no assurance of how much cash we will receive,
if any, under the common stock purchase agreement with Fusion Capital. Pursuant
to this agreement, we have sold approximately 8 million shares of our common
stock and have received $1.1 million.
We estimate that achievement of our business plan will require substantial
additional funding. We anticipate that the source of funding will be obtained
pursuant to the senior debt funding from HoMedics, Fusion Capital transaction
and/or the sale of additional equity in our Company, cash flow generated from
government grants and contracts, which includes funding from the Small Business
Innovation Research contracts sponsored by the U. S. Navy and Army awarded to
Kronos Air Technologies, and cash flow generated from customer revenue. Pursuant
to discussions with the companies that we will be licensing our technology, we
anticipate generating cash flow in our 2004 fiscal year from advance funding
from these companies for production development work. There are no assurances
that these sources of funding will be adequate to meet our cash flow needs.
GOING CONCERN OPINION
Our independent auditors have included an explanatory paragraph to their audit
opinions issued in connection with our 2003 and 2002 financial statements that
states that we do not have significant cash or other material assets to cover
our operating costs. Our ability to obtain additional funding will largely
determine our ability to continue in business. Accordingly, there is substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
We can make no assurance that we will be able to successfully develop,
manufacturer and sell commercial products on a broad basis. While attempting to
make this transition, we will be subject to all the risks inherent in a growing
venture, including, but not limited to, the need to develop and manufacture
reliable and effective products, develop marketing expertise and expand our
sales force.
FACTORS AFFECTING KRONOS' BUSINESS AND PROSPECTS
We are subject to various risks which may have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations, and may result in a
decline in our stock price. Certain risks are discussed below:
We have a limited operating history with significant losses and expect losses to
continue fro the foreseeable future.
We have only recently begun implementing our plan to prioritize and concentrate
our management and financial resources to fully capitalize on our investment in
Kronos Air Technologies and have yet to establish any history of profitable
operations. We incurred a net operating loss of $0.6 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2002. We have incurred net losses from continuing
operations of $2.8 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2003. As a
result, at September 30, 2003 and June 30, 2003, we had an accumulated deficit
of $18.1 million and $17.5 million, respectively. Our revenues and cash flows
from operations have not been sufficient to sustain our operations. We have
sustained our operations through the issuance of our common stock and the
incurrence of secured debt. We expect that our revenues and cash flows from
operations may not be sufficient to sustain our operations for the foreseeable
future. Our profitability will require the successful commercialization of our
Kronos(TM) technologies. No assurances can be given that we will be able to
successfully commercialize our Kronos(TM) technologies or that we will ever be
profitable.
We will require significant additional financing to sustain our operations and
with it we will not be able to continue operations.
At September 30, 2003 and June 30, 2003, we had a working capital deficit of
$1.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The independent auditor's report
for the year ended June 30, 2003, includes an explanatory paragraph to their
audit opinion stating that our recurring losses from operations and working
capital deficiency raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a
going concern. For the three months ended September 30, 2003 and for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2003, we had an operating cash flow deficit of $0.5 million
and $2.0 million, respectively. We currently do not have sufficient financial
resources to fund our operations or pay certain existing obligations or those of
our subsidiary. Therefore, we need substantial additional funds to continue
these operations and pay certain existing obligations.
If obtaining sufficient financing from the U. S. Navy, U. S. Army, HoMedics and
/or Fusion Capital were to be unavailable and if we are unable to commercialize
and sell the products or technologies, we will need to secure another source of
funding in order to satisfy our working capital needs. Even if we are able to
access the funds available under the, U. S. Navy and U.S Army SBIR contracts,
HoMedics senior debt agreement and / or the Fusion common stock purchase
agreement, we may still need additional capital to fully implement our business,
operating and development plans. At September 30 and June 30, 2003, we had a
cash balance of $538,000 and $641,000, respectively. Should the financing we
require to sustain our working capital needs be unavailable, or prohibitively
expensive when we require it, we would be forced to curtail our business
operations.
Existing shareholders will experience significant dilution from our sale of
shares under the common stock purchase agreement with Fusion Capital and any
other equity financing.
The sale of shares pursuant to our agreement with Fusion Capital, the exercise
of HoMedics stock warrants or any other future equity financing transaction will
have a dilutive impact on our stockholders. As a result, our net income per
share could decrease in future periods, and the market price of our common stock
could decline. In addition, the lower our stock price is, the more shares of
common stock we will have to issue under the common stock purchase agreement
with Fusion Capital in order to draw down the full amount. If our stock price is
lower, then our existing stockholders would experience greater dilution. We
cannot predict the actual number of shares of common stock that will be issued
pursuant to the agreement with Fusion Capital or any other future equity
financing transaction, in part, because the purchase price of the shares will
fluctuate based on prevailing market conditions and we do not know the exact
amount of funds we will need.
Failure to develop manufacturing capabilities would have material adverse effect
on our business.
The manufacture of consumer products by HoMedics based on our technology is in
the initial stage. We have no experience manufacturing and distributing
commercial quantities of our Kronos' products. Kronos currently does not have
any commercial-scale manufacturing facilities. Kronos does not have any
contractual relationships with third parties to contract manufacture. If Kronos
is unable to acquire adequate manufacturing capabilities or if it cannot enter
into satisfactory arrangements with third parties to manufacture the Kronos(TM)
products on commercially reasonable terms, we would be forced to curtail our
business operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to acquire
adequate manufacturing capabilities or be able to enter into satisfactory
arrangements with third parties to manufacture the Kronos(TM) products.
Competition in the market for air movement and purification devices may result
in the failure of the Kronos(TM) products to achieve market acceptance.
Kronos presently faces competition from other companies that are developing or
that currently sell air movement and purification devices. Many of these
competitors have substantially greater financial, research and development,
manufacturing, and sales and marketing resources than we do. Many of the
products sold by Kronos' competitors already have brand recognition and
established positions in the markets that we have targeted for penetration. In
the event that the Kronos(TM) products do not favorably compete with the
products sold by our competitors, we would be forced to curtail our business
operations.
Our failure to enforce protection of our intellectual property would have a
material adverse effect on our business.
A significant part of our success depends in part on our ability to obtain and
defend our intellectual property, including patent protection for our products
and processes, preserve our trade secrets, defend and enforce our rights against
infringement and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third
parties, both in the United States and in other countries. Our limited amount of
capital impedes our current ability to protect and defend our intellectual
property.
In January 2003, Kronos received formal notification from the United States
Patent and Trademark Office indicating that its application entitled
"Electrostatic Fluid Accelerator" had been examined and allowed for issuance as
a U. S. patent (#6,504,308). The patent will provide protection for key aspects
of Kronos' technology until late in 2019. In August 2003, Kronos received a
Notice of Allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office
indicating that its patent application entitled "Method of and Apparatus for
Electrostatic Fluid Acceleration Control of a Fluid Flow" has been examined and
allowed for issuance as a U. S. patent. It is expected that the U. S. Patent
will issue in due course. We have additional U. S. and foreign patent
applications pending. The validity and breadth of our intellectual property
claims in ion wind generation and electrostatic fluid acceleration and control
technology involve complex legal and factual questions and, therefore, may be
highly uncertain. Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual proprietary
rights, existing copyright, trademark and trade secret laws afford only limited
protection.
Our industry is characterized by frequent intellectual property litigation based
on allegations of infringement of intellectual property rights. Although we are
not aware of any intellectual property claims against us, we may be a party to
litigation in the future.
Possible future impairment of intangible assets would have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition.
Our net intangible assets of approximately $2.5 million as of September 30, 2003
consist principally of purchased patent technology and marketing intangibles,
which relate to the acquisition of Kronos Air Technologies, Inc. in March 2000
and to the acquisition of license rights to fuel cell, computer and
microprocessor applications of the Kronos(TM) technology not included in the
original acquisition of Kronos Air Technologies, Inc. in May 2003. Intangible
assets comprise 78% of our total assets as of September 30, 2003. Intangible
assets are subject to periodic review and consideration for potential impairment
of value. Among the factors that could give rise to impairment include a
significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, an
adverse action or assessment by a regulator, unanticipated competition, a loss
of key personnel, and projections or forecasts that demonstrate continuing
losses associated with these assets. In the case of our intangible assets,
specific factors that could give rise to impairment would be, but are not
limited to, an inability to obtain patents, the untimely death or other loss of
Dr. Igor Krichtafovitch, the lead inventor of the Kronos(TM) technology and
Kronos Air Technologies Chief Technology Officer, or the ability to create a
customer base for the sale or licensing of the Kronos(TM) technology. Should an
impairment occur, we would be required to recognize it in our financial
statements. A write-down of these intangible assets could have a material
adverse impact on our total assets, net worth and results of operations.
Our common stock is deemed to be "Penny Stock," subject to special requirement
and conditions and may not be a suitable investment.
Our common stock is deemed to be "penny stock" as that term is defined in Rule
3a51-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Penny stocks are
stocks:
o With a price of less than $5.00 per share;
o That are not traded on a "recognized" national exchange;
o Whose prices are not quoted on the Nasdaq automated quotation system
(Nasdaq listed stock must still have a price of not less than $5.00 per
share); or
o In issuers with net tangible assets less than $2.0 million (if the
issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or
$5.0 million (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or
with average revenues of less than $6.0 million for the last three
years.
Broker/dealers dealing in penny stocks are required to provide potential
investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks. Moreover,
broker/dealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock
is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. These requirements may
reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of
potential investors. This may make it more difficult for investors in our common
stock to resell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. This
could cause our stock price to decline.
We rely on management and research personnel, the loss of whose services could
have a material adverse effect upon our business.
We rely principally upon the services of our senior executive management, and
certain key employees, including the Kronos research team, the loss of whose
services could have a material adverse effect upon our business and prospects.
Competition for appropriately qualified personnel is intense. Our ability to
attract and retain highly qualified senior management and technical research and
development personnel are believed to be an important element of our future
success. Our failure to attract and retain such personnel may, among other
things, limit the rate at which we can expand operations and achieve
profitability. There can be no assurance that we will be able to attract and
retain senior management and key employees having competency in those
substantive areas deemed important to the successful implementation of our plans
to fully capitalize on our investment in the Kronos(TM) technology, and the
inability to do so or any difficulties encountered by management in establishing
effective working relationships among them may adversely affect our business and
prospects. Currently, we do not carry key person life insurance for any of our
executive management, or key employees.
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Within 90 days prior to the
filing date of this report, our Company carried out an evaluation of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and
procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. This evaluation was done under
the supervision and with the participation of our Company's President and Chief
Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, they concluded that our Company's
disclosure controls and procedures are effective in gathering, analyzing and
disclosing information needed to satisfy our Company's disclosure obligations
under the Exchange Act.
Changes in Internal Controls. There were no significant changes in our Company's
internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those
controls since the most recent evaluation of such controls.
