Item 14. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
It is responsibility of the chief executive officer and chief financial
officer to ensure the Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures
designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information, both
financial and non-financial, and other information required under the
securities laws to be disclosed is identified and communicated to senior
management on a timely basis. The Company's disclosure controls and
procedures include mandatory communication of material subsidiary events,
automated accounting processing and reporting, management review of monthly
and quarterly results, periodic subsidiary business reviews, an established
system of internal controls and rotating internal control reviews by the
Company's internal auditors.
The chief executive officer and chief financial officer evaluated the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarter
ended December 31, 2002 and have concluded that they are effective as of
December 31, 2002 in providing reasonable assurance that such information is
identified and communicated on a timely basis. Additionally, there were no
changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting
identified in connection with the evaluation that have materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal
control over financial reporting.
