NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization and Nature of Operations – China Pharma Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, owns 100% of Onny Investment Limited (Onny), a British Virgin Islands corporation, that in turn owns 100% of Hainan Helpson Medical & Biotechnology Co., Ltd (Helpson), which is organized under the laws of The People's Republic of China (the PRC). China Pharma Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries are referred to herein as the Company.

Through Helpson, the Company manufactures and markets generic and branded pharmaceutical products primarily to hospitals and private retailers located throughout the PRC. The Company has and continues to acquire well-accepted medical formulas to a diverse portfolio of Western and Chinese medicines. Helpson also manufactures biochemical products, health products and cosmetics.

Consolidation and Basis of Presentation – The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and are expressed in United States dollars. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Helpson’s functional currency is the Chinese Renminbi. Helpson’s revenue and expenses are translated into United States dollars at the average exchange rate for the period. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the end of the reporting period. Gains or losses from translating Helpson’s financial statements are included in accumulated other comprehensive income which is a component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity that is party to the transaction are included in the results of operations.

Condensed Financial Statements – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Management of the Company (Management) believes that the following disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that, in the opinion of Management, are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Company for the periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010.

Accounting Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basic and Diluted Earnings per Common Share - Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated to give effect to potentially issuable dilutive common shares The following table is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

	Ended March 31,

Basic earnings per share	$	0.10	$	0.09
Diluted earnings per share	$	0.10	$	0.09

As of March 31, 2009, potentially issuable shares include warrants outstanding to purchase a total of 2,969,607 shares of common stock with exercise prices ranging from $2.38 to $3.60 per share. These potentially issuable shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Recently Enacted Accounting Standards - In October 2009, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which provides guidance for arrangements with multiple deliverables. The new standard requires an entity to allocate arrangement consideration at the inception of an arrangement to all of its deliverables based on their relative selling prices. In addition, the new standard eliminates the use of the residual method of allocation and requires the relative-selling-price method in all circumstances in which an entity recognizes revenue for an arrangement with multiple deliverables. In October 2009, the FASB also issued a new accounting standard which changes revenue recognition for tangible products containing software and hardware elements. If certain requirements are met, revenue arrangements that contain tangible products with software elements that are essential to the functionality of the products are scoped out of the existing software revenue recognition accounting guidance and will be accounted for under the multiple-element arrangements revenue recognition guidance discussed above. Both standards will be effective for us in the first quarter of 2011. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of these accounting standards will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 - INVENTORY

Inventory consisted of the following:

	March 31,		December 31,

CHINA PHARMA HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Construction in progress consists of machinery and construction supplies that have been paid for, but are not yet completed and placed into production. Once the machinery is working or the facility is in use, it is moved into plant, machinery and equipment and depreciated. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Asset		Life - years
Permit of land use		40 - 70
Building		20 - 35
Plant, machinery and equipment		10
Motor vehicles		5 - 10
Office equipment		5

For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, depreciation expense was $192,938 and $111,582, respectively.

NOTE 4 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets represent the costs of patents, trademarks, licenses, techniques and medical formulas. Medical formulas are amortized over the expected life of the related medicine once production and sales commence. Amortization expense relating to intangible assets was $226,965 and $146,439 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

NOTE 5 – ADVANCES FOR PURCHASES OF INTANGIBLE ASSSETS AND PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

In order to expand the number of medicines manufactured and marketed by the Company, the Company has entered into purchase contracts with independent and university laboratories. The contracts are for the purchase of established medical formulas for which the related patents have expired (generic medicines). Prior to entering into the contracts, the independent laboratories typically have completed all required research and development to determine the medical formula for and the method of production of the generic medicine. If the Company enters into a contract prior to the determination of the medical formula for a medicine, contract costs incurred to establish the medical formula are recognized as research and development expense. The contracts with the laboratories are primarily for certification of the manufacturing process and authorization by the State Food and Drug Administration (the SFDA) to sell the generic medicines. Under the terms of each contract, the Company is required to make progress payments to the laboratory; however, the payments are fully refundable in the event that the laboratory fails to obtain SFDA certification of the generic medicine under the contract. Payments made prior to the completion of the related process are recorded as advances for purchases of intangible assets.

The Company is also increasing production capabilities with new machinery and facilities. As is common in the PRC, the Company prepays for much of the machinery and construction supplies. The prepayments are capitalized as advances for purchases of property and equipment until the construction begins or the machinery is delivered to the Company.

NOTE 6 – SHORT-TERM NOTES PAYABLE

On July 2, 2009 the Company entered into revolving line of credit with a bank, with the related note payable bearing interest at an annual rate of 5.31% and collateralized by certain land use rights, buildings, machinery and equipment. The revolving line of credit expires on June 30, 2010. The outstanding balance due under the revolving line of credit was $3,802,504 at March 31, 2010. There are no additional amounts available to the Company under this line of credit.

NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax laws or rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Undistributed earnings of Helpson, the Company’s foreign subsidiary, since its acquisition, amounted to approximately $68.3 million at March 31, 2010. Those earnings, as well as the investment in Helpson of approximately $21.0 million are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no U.S. federal or state income taxes have been provided thereon. Upon distribution of those earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes (net of an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to the PRC. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. income tax liability is not practical because of the complexities associated with its hypothetical calculation; however, unrecognized foreign tax credits may be available to reduce a portion of the U.S. tax liability.

Under current tax law in China, the Company is and will be subject to the following enterprise income tax rates:

		Enterprise Income
Year		Tax Rate
2010		11%
2011		24%
2012 and after		25%

The provision for income taxes consisted of the following:

	For the Three Months
	Ended March 31,
	2010			2009
Current	$	561,618		$	480,688
Deferred		(72,339	)		(122,966	)
Net Income Tax Expense	$	489,279		$	357,722

The Company has also incurred various other taxes, comprised primarily of business taxes, value-added taxes, urban construction taxes, education surcharges and others. Any unpaid amounts are reflected on the balance sheets as accrued taxes payable.

NOTE 8 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company received proceeds of $2,583,000 pursuant to the exercise of warrants to purchase 1,085,294 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.38 per share. The warrants were issued in conjunction with the Company’s February 1, 2007 Unit Offering. On February 1, 2010, warrants to purchase 88,235 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.38 per share expired unexercised.

As of March 31, 2010, the Company has outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,766,666 shares of Company's common stock at exercise prices ranging from $2.80 to $3.60 per share, which expire from May 29, 2011 through January 2, 2012.

CHINA PHARMA HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

On September 2, 2009, the board of directors of the Company adopted the 2009 Stock Option Plan, under which a total of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are available for issuance to directors, officers, employees, and eligible consultants. No options were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2010.

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company recognized $47,625 of compensation expense as general and administrative expenses related to 100,000 stock options to purchase common stock at $2.75 per share that were granted in 2009. The remaining unrecognized compensation expense of $45,171 will be recognized over the remaining vesting period during fiscal 2010. As of March 31, 2010, the aggregate intrinsic value of the options was $58,000.

On February 9, 2010 the Company authorized the issuance of three-year warrants to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock to a consultant for services rendered. The exercise price is $3.00 per share for 75,000 shares and $3.80 per share for the remaining 75,000 shares. As of March 31, 2010 these warrants have not yet been issued. The Company intends to issue these warrants in the coming months.

On April 22, 2010 the board of directors and a majority of the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation which increased the total number of authorized common shares from 60,000,000 to 95,000,000, and authorized 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The preferred stock may be issued in series with such designations, preferences, stated values, rights, qualifications or limitations as determined solely by the Company’s board of directors. The amendment is going to be effective 20 days after notification to the shareholders which the Company anticipates will be on or about May 25, 2010

NOTE 9 - CONTINGENCIES

Economic environment - Significantly all of the Company's operations are conducted in the PRC, and therefore the Company is subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies operating in the United States of America. These risks include, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rate. The Company's results from operations may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things. The unfavorable changes in global macroeconomic factors may also adversely affect the Company’s operations.

In addition, all of the Company's revenue is denominated in the PRC's currency of Renminbi (RMB), which must be converted into other currencies before remittance out of the PRC. Both the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies and the remittance of foreign currencies abroad require approval of the PRC government.

NOTE 10 – CONCENTRATIONS

At March 31, 2010, one customer accounted for 20.7% of accounts receivable. At March 31, 2009, one customer accounted for 10.9% of accounts receivable.

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, two customers accounted for 36.3% and 12.9% of sales, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, purchases from three suppliers accounted for 44.9%, 17.5% and 15.2% of raw material purchases, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, purchases from two suppliers accounted for 29.1% and 26.8% of raw material purchases, respectively.

Business Overview

We manufacture and distribute high-quality generic and branded pharmaceutical products for a wide range of high incidence and high mortality conditions in China. We have a strong focus on bringing new and first-to-market generic medicines to market through the purchase of medical formulas from research institutions as well as our own in-house research and development activities. Over the past 17 years we have successfully commercialized 20 products that have received approval from the Chinese State Food and Drug Administration of China (the “SFDA”, which is the Chinese equivalent of the Federal Food and Drug Administration in the United States).

Our diverse portfolio of pharmaceutical products includes products for the treatment of central nervous system diseases, cerebral and cardio vascular disorders, infectious diseases and respiratory and digestive illnesses. We believe we have developed a cost-effective, high margin business model that is driven by market demand and supported by our eight scalable Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”)-certified production lines covering our major dosage forms or products. We have a broad and expanding distribution network covering 30 provinces and municipalities in China. Hainan Helpson Medical & Biotechnology Co., Ltd (“Helpson”), located in Haikou City in Hainan Province, China, is our principal operating unit and wholly-owned subsidiary of our company.

Strong Revenue Growth and High Margins - We have experienced rapid growth in sales of our therapeutics. Historically, our gross profit margin has exceeded 40% and our comparatively flat marketing and selling network and distribution system has enabled us to keep our net income margin (net income as a percentage of total revenue) above 30%. We are able to compete in the highly competitive pharmaceutical industry through our diversified product line, cost control measures and a strong sales network. Our experienced management team with sharp market insights and the strong in-house and collaborative third-party research resources enable us to establish and launch new products based on market demand.

Proven Record of Success - We have a proven track record of success and believe our core strength as a company is our ability to commercialize research results. Over the years, we have strengthened our ability to identify key therapeutic areas and the compounds with the highest potential, manage the process obtain various regulatory approvals required to commercialize those compounds, and finally to produce and sell the medicinefinished pharmaceutical product developed from those compounds to hospitals. We seek to focus on the largest segments of China's pharmaceutical market and currently have a portfolio of over 30 specifications of drugs that focus on the treatment of: Central Nervous System disorders, cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, infectious diseases, digestive diseases and other therapeutic areas of high incidence in China. In addition, our growth strategy is supported by the needs of a dynamic pharmaceutical industry and should benefit from government reforms to increase the population covered by national medical insurance.

We also have eight different types of modern production lines with capacity to meet our current and future demands. Our facilities received five-year Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) re-Certification from the SFDA during 2008.

Clear Strategy for Growth – We believe we are positioned in a rapidly growing industry in the fastest growing economy in the world. Within the Chinese economy, medical care expenditures represent only about 4.5% of the Chinese GDP (compared to approximately 17% in the United States). As a result, it is anticipated that the healthcare segment in China will experience faster growth. Furthermore, the recently announced Healthcare Reform in China implies significant additional revenue opportunities for pharmaceutical enterprises supported by government initiatives. We believe the increase in demand from these sources will provide a very healthy growth environment for us. Aside from our current portfolio of products, new products from our pipeline (such as Candesartan and the generic version of Crestor, and Rosuvastatin) present us with very exciting growth opportunities once these products come on line.

Finally, the Healthcare Reform will change the current landscape of the Chinese pharmaceutical industry which we think will create many attractive acquisition opportunities. We plan to use these opportunities to the fullest extent possible and hope to continue our rate of growth in the future.

As of March 31, 2010, in addition to our portfolio of 20 commercialized products, we had nine drugs at different stages of registration process, including three which had passed SFDA technical analysis and entered clinical trials (including a new anti-drug-resistance antibiotic product), and three drugs waiting for SFDA production approval.

We received SFDA approval to enter clinical trials for Candesartan – a front-line therapy in the treatment of hypertension during 2009. This clinical program was completed in January of 2010 and we have submitted an application for production. We have completed the on-site trial production review by SFDA and are currently waiting for the final production approval..

In addition to these products, we have several others pending SFDA technical review and plan to initiate additional clinical trials in 2010 that focus on our main therapeutic areas. We are also evaluating additional opportunities on an ongoing basis, directed by the organic growth and market demands of China's pharmaceutical market. We are working closely with several pharmaceutical research institutions and remain focused on creating a steady increase in revenue. Through strategic mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and through capitalization of this fragmented market, we will improve our product portfolio and push our integrated growth; maintain and develop new marketing channels; and use our existing retailing network in the newly expanded market to raise our overall market share. The organic growth of the Chinese pharmaceutical market has already and will continue to direct the company's development.

Recent Developments

During the first quarter we completed the clinical trials for Candesartan – a front-line therapy in the treatment of hypertension. We have submitted an application for production. We have completed the on-site trial production review by SFDA and are currently waiting for the final production approval.

The clinical trial for Rosuvastatin (generic form of Crestor) continues to receive very positive feedback from the patients.

The clinical trial for our Anti-Drug resistant Anti-Biotic combination drug is also progressing on schedule.

Market Trends

The growth of China’s pharmaceutical market is driven by China’s rapid economic growth. Increased healthcare spending by the Chinese government to reform the healthcare system has already greatly improved the accessibility to and desire for medical care. Important additional factors include: the aging of the population and the resulting increase in age-related disorders; the urban migration of the population; and improved awareness of self-health care. Credit Suisse estimates that Chinese pharmaceutical market will grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 15.5% from 2008 to 2015, stemming from 2008 market size base of $32 billion.

The recent Healthcare Reform program announced by the Chinese government will have a real and significant impact on all healthcare related industries in China, including the pharmaceutical industry. Over all, the government plans to provide a basic, universal healthcare system to all citizens of China. While the government was slow to announce specifics of the plan, the recent release of the final Essential Drug List (the “EDL”) was the first major concrete step to implement the reform. The implementation of the EDL is expected to be phased in next few years gradually, and products on the EDL are expected to experience an increase in volume while having their margins lowered. That being said, the price adjustments announced by the government have been milder than the market originally anticipated. It is also important to realize that the government wants to set a pricing range target (high and low), in making sure that the prices of essential drugs are affordable on the one hand, and allow drug companies a fair profit on the other. We believe the effect of the Reform will be significant if not immediate. We are making ourselves more nimble and are ready to modify our strategies to the new environment when it becomes a reality. We are adjusting our sales and marketing strategy, to further penetrate the lower-tier healthcare facilities market which is one of the focuses of the current Healthcare Reform.

Revenue

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, our revenues increased by $2.1 million, or 16% to $15.1 million from the $13.0 million we generated in the corresponding period of 2009.

During the first quarter, Anti-Viro/Infection & Respiratory product category continues to lead in category sales growth by rising 32% over the same period a year ago to approximately $5.4 million. Our CNS and Cerebral & Cardio Vascular drugs performed steadily by generating $5.3 million of revenue during the first quarter, compared to $5.3 million in the same period of 2009. Our Digestive product sales rose by 291% to $1.7 million, mainly due to the sales contribution from our new products Tiopronin and Omeprazole. During this quarter we saw Tiopronin generating close to $850,000 in sales and Omeprazole contributed $260,000. Our Other Products category generated $2.7 million dollars of revenue compared to last year’s $3.2 million, a decrease of about 15%, mainly due to a stellar performance in this category a year ago.

Cost of Revenue

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, Cost of revenue was $9.0 million or 59% of total revenue, compared to the corresponding period of 2009, which was $7.1 million or 54% of total revenue.

Gross Profit

Gross Profit for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $6.1 million, which is approximately 3.5% higher compared to the $5.9 million for the first quarter of 2009. Gross profit margin for the current quarter is 41%, compared to 46% in the first quarter of 2009. The lower gross profit margin in the first quarter of 2010 was mainly due to higher volume of lower margin products sold compared to the same period a year ago. Specifically, of our four product categories, the Anti-Viro/Infection category has had the highest growth. On a relative basis, this category also has a lower gross margin compared to the other three. Our current strategy is to maintain our gross margin at a healthy level by balancing sales growth of lower margin products with the higher ones. This is one of our priorities going forward.

Selling Expenses

Our selling expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was approximately $0.58 million, a decrease of approximately $20,000, or 3%, compared to approximately $0.60 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Selling expenses was approximately 3.9% of revenue this quarter compared to 4.6% a year ago.

General Administrative Expense

The general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $0.65 million, an increase of $0.16 million, or 34%, compared to $0.49 million for the same period in 2009. The rise in G&A expense was in part due to higher amortization expenses for our drug formulas during the quarter ending March 31, 2010 compared to the same quarter a year ago.

Bad Debt Expense

As to the peculiarity of the Chinese pharmaceutical market environment, deferred payments to pharmaceutical companies by state-owned hospitals and local medicine distributors are a normal phenomenon. Over 90% of our drugs are sold to state-owned hospitals and local medicine distributors, which creates slow collections of our trade receivables. Since the majority of hospitals in China are backed by the government, management believes that the deferred payments from state-owned hospitals are secure and will eventually be collected. So far, China Pharma has not lost any receivables in its 15 years history of doing business with hospitals.

As of March 31, 2010, our bad debt allowance was $2.78 million compared to $2.72 million on December 31, 2009. This represents a bad debt expense of $70,906 for the quarter ending March 31, 2010.

Income from Operation

Our operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was approximately $4.8 million, compared to $4.0 million for the same period in 2009, an increase of $0.75 million, or 19%. The main reasons for our higher operating income in the first quarter of 2010 was higher gross profit and lower bad debt expense in such quarter.

Interest Income

The interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $6,757 from our bank deposit. In the first quarter of 2009 we had interest income of $10,589.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 is approximately $50,490, compared to $38,236 of the same period of 2009.

Income Tax Expense

Income Tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 is $0.49 million, compared to $0.36 million in the same quarter a year ago.

Net Income

Our net income for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was approximately $4.3 million, which was $0.62 million higher than that for the three months ended March 31, 2009, of approximately $3.7 million, which represented an increase of about 17%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash generated from operations and short term bank loans. As of March 31, 2010, cash and cash equivalents were $4,784,582, an increase of $1.1 million from $3,634,753 as of December 31, 2009. As of March 31, 2010, we had a balance of $3,803,338 in short-term bank loans.

During the first quarter of 2010, we continued our vigorous collection efforts from our customers and achieved good results. While we have made progress, improving accounts receivable collection continues to be a focus of the management team and we expect to make further progress in the quarters to come.

Based on our current operating plan, management believes that our cash provided by operations plus the proceeds from our existing bank loans will be sufficient to meet our working capital, new formula acquisitions, and our anticipated capital expenditures for the next twelve months. However, if events or circumstances occur and we do not meet our operating plan as expected, we may be required to seek additional capital and/or reduce certain discretionary spending, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve our business objectives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may seek additional financing, which may include debt and/or equity financing. There can be no assurance that any additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. Any equity financing may result in dilution to existing stockholders and any debt financing may include restrictive covenants.

Investing Activities:

Net cash used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $2.6 million. The majority of this cash usage was for our investments in a number of new drug formulas during the quarter. This was a decrease of $0.34 million compared to the same period in 2009 of $2.9 million.

Financing Activities:

During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, we issued approximately 1.1 million shares of common stock for total proceeds of $2.58 million from the exercise of warrants that were issued in our 2007 offering of equity units. During the comparable quarter a year ago, we had no cash flows from financing activities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There were no off-balance sheet arrangements during the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures required by paragraph (b) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act (a) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the

Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (b) is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

A system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the system will meet its objectives. The design of a control system is based, in part, upon the benefits of the control system relative to its costs. Control systems can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. In addition, over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon assumptions about the likelihood of future events.
