ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Since the Company's emergence from bankruptcy effective April 25, 2002, the
Company has had to face many challenging and complex accounting and financial
reporting issues, including fresh start accounting, restructuring and the
restatement of amounts in its financial statements for the quarter ended March
31, 2002. In addition, the Company has experienced significant turnover in its
financial reporting staff, as well as limited management resources. The Company
fell behind in its SEC reporting for the year ended September 30, 2002, and
experienced difficulty in catching up with its filing obligations for the year
ended September 30, 2002 while fulfilling its responsibilities for the year
ended September 30, 2003. The combined effect of these challenges placed a
strain on our internal accounting resources in summer 2003 and resulted in
further delays in the preparation and filing of periodic reports that were filed
in summer 2003. The strain on our internal accounting resources and the delays
in the preparation and filing of periodic reports created material weaknesses in
our accounting and internal control environment in summer 2003.
In order to resolve the problems described above, the Company hired a new Senior
Accountant in May 2003, a new Controller in July 2003, a new Manager of External
Reporting in October 2003 and a new Senior Accountant in November 2003. In
addition, the Company has committed to returning to a normal recurring closing
timetable that includes formal management reviews and a monthly financial
reporting package. Finally, by completing its fiscal 2002 reporting, the Company
has significantly reduced the burden on its internal accounting staff.
Based on their evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as
of the end of the period covered by this report, the Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer have concluded that there was a material weakness in our
internal control over financial reporting that needed to be addressed. As noted
above, the Company has dedicated resources to address this issue and has
implemented the necessary changes such as hiring a new Senior Accountant, new
Controller, new Manager and new Senior Accountant and has committed to returning
to a normal recurring closing timetable that includes formal management
reviews and a monthly financial reporting package and has significantly reduced
the burden on our internal accounting staff. In addition, except as noted above,
there were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting
that occurred during the Company's most recent fiscal quarter that materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal
control over financial reporting.
