Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-QSB and Section 310(b) of Regulation SB. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included and are of a normal, recurring nature. Operating results for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006.

The accounting and reporting policies of MVB conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and practices in the banking industry. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates, such as the allowance for loan losses, are based upon known facts and circumstances. Estimates are revised by management in the period such facts and circumstances change. Actual results could differ from those estimates. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2005 has been extracted from audited financial statements included in MVB’s 2005 filing on Form 10-KSB. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been omitted. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in MVB’s December 31, 2005, Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Note 2. Allowance for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, was $284 and $110, respectively. Management bases the provision for loan losses upon its continuing evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the overall management of inherent credit risk.

Management continually monitors the risk in the loan portfolio through review of the monthly delinquency reports and through the work of the Loan Review Committee, which is responsible for the determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. This analysis involves both experience of the portfolio to date and the makeup of the overall portfolio. The allocation among the various components of the loan portfolio and its adequacy is somewhat difficult considering our limited operating history in newer markets. Loss estimates are derived for individual loans based on specific criteria such as current delinquency status, related deposit account activity, estimates of cash flow and underlying collateral value.

The results of this analysis at September 30, 2006, indicate that the allowance for loan losses is considered adequate to absorb losses inherent in the portfolio.

Note 5 – Net Income Per Common Share

MVB determines basic earnings per share by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding increased by the number of shares that would be issued assuming the exercise of stock options. At September 30, 2006 and 2005, stock options to purchase 175,312 and 40,829 shares at an average price of $14.63 and $10.12, respectively, were outstanding. For the nine and three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the dilutive effect of stock options was 160,301 and 24,607 shares, respectively.

Note 6 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There are no recent accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board that are relevant to MVB.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 indicates that the disclosure of forward-looking information is desirable for investors and encourages such disclosure by providing a safe harbor for forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainty. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-QSB including statements in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are, or may be deemed to be, forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Exchange Act of 1934. In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, the corporation notes that a variety of factors, (e.g., changes in the national and local economies, changes in the interest rate environment, competition, etc.) could cause MVB’s actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in those forward-looking statements.

Introduction

The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial statements of MVB Financial Corp. is presented to provide insight into management’s assessment of the financial results. MVB has three wholly-owned second tier holding companies which own 100 percent of MVB Bank, Inc.(“the bank”). The bank is the primary financial entity in this discussion. Unless otherwise noted, this discussion will be in reference to the bank.

MVB Bank, Inc. was chartered by the State of West Virginia and is subject to regulation, supervision, and examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the West Virginia Department of Banking. The bank is not a member of the Federal Reserve System. The bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh.

The bank began operations January 4, 1999, at 301 Virginia Avenue in Fairmont, West Virginia. MVB Bank, Inc. provides a full array of financial products and services to its customers, including traditional banking products such as deposit accounts, lending products, debit cards, automated teller machines, and safe deposit rental facilities. The bank opened a banking office in the Shop N Save supermarket in White Hall, WV during the second quarter of 2000. During August of 2005, the bank opened a full-service office at 1000 Johnson Avenue in Bridgeport, WV. In October of 2005 MVB Bank, Inc. purchased an office at 88 Somerset Boulevard in Charles Town, WV. Additionally, the bank is currently operating a loan production office in Martinsburg, WV, with plans to explore further expansion in West Virginia’s eastern panhandle.

This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the prior year-end audited financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s filing on Form 10-KSB and the unaudited financial statements, ratios, statistics, and discussions contained elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

MVB’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and follow general practices within the banking industry. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments. Application of certain accounting policies inherently requires a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments and as such, the probability of actual results being materially different from reported estimates is increased. Estimates, assumptions, and judgments are necessary when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value, when a decline in the value of an asset not carried on the financial statements at fair value warrants an impairment write-down or valuation reserve to be established, or when an asset or liability needs to be recorded contingent upon a future event. Carrying assets and liabilities at fair value inherently results in more financial statement volatility. The fair values and the information used to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are based either on quoted market prices or are provided by other third-party sources, when available. When third-party information is not available, valuation adjustments are estimated in good faith by management primarily through the use of internal forecasting techniques.

The most significant accounting policies followed by MVB are presented in Note 1 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in MVB’s 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the other financial statement notes and in management’s discussion and analysis of operations, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those values are determined. Based on the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity of financial statement amounts to the methods, assumptions, and estimates underlying those amounts, management has identified the determination of the allowance for loan losses to be the accounting area that requires the most subjective or complex judgments, and as such could be most subject to revision as new information becomes available.

The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses is considered a critical accounting estimate because it requires significant judgment and the use of estimates related to the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows, estimated losses in pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience of peer banks, estimated losses on specific commercial credits, and consideration of current economic trends and conditions, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. The loan portfolio also represents the largest asset in the consolidated balance sheet. Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in MVB’s 10-KSB describes the methodology used to determine the allowance for loan losses and a discussion of the factors driving changes in the amount of the allowance for loan losses is included in the Allowance for Loan Losses section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis in this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB.

Results of Operations

Overview of the Statement of Income

For the quarter ended September 30, 2006, MVB earned $259 compared to $100 in the third quarter of 2005. Third quarter net income increased $159 from 2005. This increase in net income is the result of a $341 increase in net interest income. During the third quarter of 2005 the Harrison County office had just opened, and the Jefferson County office had not yet been acquired. These offices produced net interest income of $460 during the third quarter of 2006, versus $87 for the third quarter of 2005.

Loan loss provisions of $122 and $55 were made for the quarters ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The provision for loan losses, which is a product of management’s formal quarterly analysis, is recorded in response to inherent risks in the loan portfolio.

Non-interest income for the quarters ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 totaled $338 and $238, respectively. The most significant portion of non-interest income is service charges on deposit accounts, which totaled $145 at September 30, 2006, an increase of $36 over the third quarter of 2005. Other items that were significant factors in the increase in non-interest income were as follows: income on loans held for sale increased by $45 and Visa debit card income increased by $15.

Non-interest expense for the quarters ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 totaled $1.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The most significant portion of this $147 increase was salaries and benefits of $51, $43 of which relates to the Jefferson County office. Other significant items relating to this increase were occupancy expense of $38, data processing expense of $29 and advertising expense of $25.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, MVB earned $648 compared to $425 for the same period in 2005. This $223 increase is the result of income generated from the Harrison and Jefferson County offices during 2006. These offices were partially staffed through the third quarter of 2005, even though they did not open until late in the year.

Loan loss provisions of $284 and $110 were made for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. This increase of $174 relates to a $37.6 million increase in loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, versus an increase of only $17.7 million for the same time frame during 2005.

Non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 totaled $883 and $560, respectively. This increase of $323 relates mainly to the following: an increase of $105 in service charges on deposit accounts, $103 in origination fees on mortgage loans sold, $48 in income on bank owned life insurance and $41 in Visa debit card income. All of these increases directly relate to additional volume, much of which was produced in the new offices.

Non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 totaled $3.8 million and $3.0 million, respectively. This $837 increase was driven by the following: an increase of $412 in salaries expense, $191 in occupancy and equipment expense, $105 in data processing expense and $88 in other operating expense. These increases are mostly related to the costs of opening the Harrison and Jefferson County offices, and the resulting increases in volume.

Interest Income and Expense

Net interest income is the amount by which interest income on earning assets exceeds interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Interest-earning assets include loans and investment securities. Interest-bearing liabilities include interest-bearing deposits and repurchase agreements and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Net interest income is the primary source of revenue for the bank. Changes in market interest rates, as well as changes in the mix and volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities impact net interest income.

Net interest margin is calculated by dividing net interest income by average interest-earning assets. This ratio serves as a performance measurement of the net interest revenue stream generated by the bank’s balance sheet. The net interest margin for the quarters ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was 3.70% and 3.96% respectively. As the Federal Reserve continues its consistent rate tightening during 2005 and 2006, MVB’s cost of funds has increased as well. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased from 2.42% during the third quarter of 2005 to 3.53% during the third quarter of 2006. This 111 basis point increase is primarily due to the following: a 104 basis point increase on certificates of deposit, an 83 basis point increase on money market accounts, and a 147 basis point increase on repurchase agreements. In addition to the Federal Reserve rate increases, some of the rising cost of funds is attributable to the bank’s competition in the Harrison and Jefferson County markets, as well as more extensive use of FHLB borrowings as a funding source.

Management continuously monitors the effects of net interest margin on the performance of the bank. Growth and mix of the balance sheet will continue to impact net interest margin in future periods. As competition for deposits continues, management anticipates that future deposits will be at a higher cost thereby exerting continued pressure on the net interest margin.

Non-Interest Income

Service charges on deposit accounts generate the core of the bank’s non-interest income. Non-interest income totaled $338 in the third quarter of 2006 compared to $238 in the third quarter of 2005.

Service charges on deposit accounts include mainly non-sufficient funds and returned check fees, allowable overdraft fees and service charges on commercial accounts.

The bank is continually searching for ways to increase non-interest income. Two areas in which MVB has made progress are Visa debit card income, which increased $15 from the third quarter of 2005 through increased card penetration to existing and new customers, and origination fees on mortgages sold, which increased by $45 from the third quarter of 2005, mainly a product of the bank’s presence in the Harrison County market.

Non-Interest Expense

For the third quarter of 2006, non-interest expense totaled $1.3 million compared to $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2005. MVB’s efficiency ratio was 73.16% for the third quarter of 2006 compared to 86.27% for the third quarter of 2005. This ratio measures the efficiency of non-interest expenses incurred in relationship to net interest income plus non-interest income. MVB’s 2006 efficiency ratio has improved due to the fact that the Harrison County office has been in service for all of 2006, while it had not yet opened during the third quarter of 2005.

Salaries and benefits totaled $732 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 compared to $681 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. This increase in salaries and benefits reflects MVB’s additional staffing for the Jefferson County office, which was not acquired until the fourth quarter of 2005. MVB had 64 full-time equivalent personnel at September 30, 2006 compared to 59 full-time equivalent personnel as of September 30, 2005. This increase is mainly due to the addition of staff for the Jefferson County office. Management will continue to strive to find new ways of increasing efficiencies and leveraging its resources, while effectively optimizing customer service.

For the quarters ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, occupancy expense totaled $94 and $56, respectively. This increase is a result of the addition of full-service banking offices in Harrison and Jefferson counties during 2005.

Equipment expense totaled $77 in the third quarter of 2006 compared to $67 for the third quarter of 2005. Included in equipment expense is depreciation of furniture, fixtures and equipment of $49 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 and $30 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. Equipment depreciation expense reflects MVB’s commitment to technology and the addition of equipment related to the Harrison and Jefferson County banking offices.

Data processing costs totaled $161 in the third quarter of 2006 compared to $132 in the third quarter of 2005. These increases are due mainly to the overall account and transaction growth of the bank and in part to the introduction of internet banking and bill payment services in the late 2005.

Other operating expense totaled $124 in the third quarter of 2006 compared to $134 in the third quarter of 2005.

Return on Average Assets and Average Equity

Returns on average assets (ROA) and average equity (ROE) were .60% and 4.92% for the third quarter of 2006 compared to .33% and 2.51% in the third quarter of 2005. As anticipated these performance indicators have increased from the third quarter of 2005 to the third quarter of 2006 as the Harrison County office is open and moving towards profitability.

Overview of the Statement of Condition

MVB’s interest-earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities, and stockholders’ equity changed significantly during the third quarter of 2006 compared to 2005. The most significant areas of change between the quarters ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005 were as follows: net loans increased to an average balance of $129.4 million from $89.3 million, interest-bearing liabilities grew to an average balance of $134.9 million from $93.9 million, and stockholders’ equity increased to an average balance of $21.0 million from $15.9 million. These trends reflect the continued growth of MVB.

Total assets at September 30, 2006 were $175.2 million or an increase of $23.9 million since December 31, 2005. This is mainly attributable to the bank’s expansion into the Harrison and Jefferson County markets and continued emphasis on offering competitive products to customers combined with quality customer service. Asset growth has occurred primarily in commercial and mortgage loans. Commercial loans increased by $15.3 million while mortgage loans increased by $7.7 million.

Deposits totaled $120.2 million at September 30, 2006 or an increase of $6.3 million since December 31, 2005. Repurchase agreements totaled $22.7 million and have increased $7.4 million since December 31, 2005.

Stockholders’ equity has increased approximately $2.8 million from December 31, 2005 due to the issuance of 131,332 shares in MVB’s public stock offering, earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 of $648 and accumulated other comprehensive income of $61.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $4.2 million as of September 30, 2006 compared to $3.1 million as of December 31, 2005, or an increase of $1.1 million.

Total cash and cash equivalents fluctuate on a daily basis due to transactions in process and other liquidity and performance demands. Management believes the liquidity needs of MVB are satisfied by the current balance of cash and cash equivalents, readily available access to traditional and non-traditional funding sources, and the portions of the investment and loan portfolios that mature within one year. These sources of funds should enable MVB to meet cash obligations as they come due.

Investment Securities

Investment securities totaled $27.8 million as of September 30, 2006 and $28.5 million as of December 31, 2005. Government sponsored agency securities comprise the majority of the portfolio.

Management monitors the earnings performance and liquidity of the investment portfolio on a regular basis through Asset/Liability Committee meetings. The group also monitors net interest income, sets pricing guidelines, and manages interest rate risk for the bank. Management believes the risk characteristics inherent in the investment portfolio are acceptable.

Loans

The bank’s lending is primarily focused in the Marion, Harrison and Jefferson County areas of West Virginia, and consists primarily of commercial lending, retail lending, which includes single-family residential mortgages, and consumer lending.

The following table details total loans outstanding as of:

Loan Concentration

At September 30, 2006, commercial loans comprised the largest component of the loan portfolio. The majority of commercial loans that are not secured by real estate are lines of credit secured by accounts receivable. While the loan concentration is in commercial loans, the commercial portfolio is comprised of loans to many different borrowers, in numerous different industries but primarily located in our market areas.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Management continually monitors the loan portfolio through review of the monthly delinquency reports and through the Loan Review Committee. The Loan Review Committee is responsible for the determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Their analysis involves both experience of the portfolio to date and the makeup of the overall portfolio. Specific loss estimates are derived for individual loans based on specific criteria such as current delinquency status, related deposit account activity, where applicable, local market rumors, which are generally based on some factual information, and changes in the local and national economy. While local market rumors are not measurable or perhaps not readily supportable, historically, this form of information can be an indication of a potential problem. The allowance for loan losses is further based upon the internal risk rating assigned to the various loan types within the portfolio.

Funding Sources

MVB considers a number of alternatives, including but not limited to deposits, short-term borrowings, and long-term borrowings when evaluating funding sources. Traditional deposits continue to be the most significant source of funds for the bank, reaching $120.2 million at September 30, 2006.

Non-interest bearing deposits remain a core funding source for MVB. At September 30, 2006, non-interest bearing deposits totaled $17.5 million compared to $13.5 million at December 31, 2005. Management intends to continue to focus on finding ways to increase the bank’s base of non-interest bearing funding sources.

Interest-bearing deposits totaled $102.7 million at September 30, 2006 compared to $100.4 million at December 31, 2005. Average interest-bearing liabilities totaled $134.9 million during the third quarter of 2006 compared to $93.9 million for the third quarter of 2005. Average non-interest bearing demand deposits totaled $15.9 million for the third quarter of 2006 compared to $11.8 million for the third

quarter of 2005. Management will continue to emphasize deposit gathering in 2006 by offering outstanding customer service and competitively priced products. Management will also concentrate on balancing deposit growth with adequate net interest margin to meet MVB’s strategic goals.

Along with traditional deposits, MVB has access to both repurchase agreements, which are corporate deposits secured by pledging securities from the investment portfolio, and Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings to fund its operations and investments. At September 30, 2006, repurchase agreements totaled $22.7 million compared to $15.3 million at December 31, 2005. In addition to the aforementioned funds alternatives, MVB has access to more than $51.1 million through additional advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, a $4.5 million line of credit with the Bankers Bank of Atlanta, and the ability to readily sell jumbo certificates of deposits to other banks.

Capital/Stockholders’ Equity

The bank was initially capitalized when it sold 452,000 shares of stock at $10 per share or a total of $4.5 million in an offering during 1998.

In October of 1999 the bank completed a secondary offering of 66,000 shares of stock at $11 per share or a total of $726,000. This offering was used to purchase MVB’s main office at 301 Virginia Avenue.

During November of 2002 the bank completed another secondary offering of 164,000 shares of stock at $12.50 per share or a total of $2.0 million. This offering was needed to continue funding the bank’s growth.

In 2004, the bank formed a one-bank holding company. In that transaction, MVB Financial Corp. issued shares of common stock in exchange for shares of the bank’s common stock.

In 2006, MVB completed a public offering of 725,000 shares totaling $11.6 million.

At September 30, 2006, accumulated other comprehensive (loss) totaled $(382) compared to $(443) at December 31, 2005. This change relates to an adjustment of the banks pension liability and an increase in the market value of available-for-sale securities.

The primary source of funds for dividends to be paid by MVB Financial Corp. is dividends received from its subsidiary bank, MVB Bank, Inc. Dividends paid by the subsidiary bank are subject to restrictions by banking regulations. The most restrictive provision requires regulatory approval if dividends declared in any year exceed that year’s retained net profits, as defined, plus the retained net profits, as defined, of the two preceding years.

Bank regulators have established “risk-based” capital requirements designed to measure capital adequacy. Risk-based capital ratios reflect the relative risks of various assets banks hold in their portfolios. A weight category of 0% (lowest risk assets), 20%, 50%, or 100% (highest risk assets) is assigned to each asset on the balance sheet. Detailed information concerning MVB’s risk-based capital ratios can be found in Note 14 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of MVB’s 2005 Form 10-KSB. At September 30, 2006, MVB and its banking subsidiary’s risk-based capital ratios exceeded the minimum standards for a well capitalized financial institution.

Commitments

In the normal course of business, the bank is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk necessary to meet the financing needs of customers and to manage its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit. The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments express the extent of involvement the bank has in these financial instruments.

Loan commitments are made to accommodate the financial needs of MVB’s customers. MVB uses the same underwriting standards in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The amount of collateral obtained is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties. The total amount of loan commitments outstanding at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 was $21.8 million and $21.3 million, respectively.

Market Risk

There have been no material changes in market risks faced by MVB since December 31, 2005. For information regarding MVB’s market risk, refer to MVB’s Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Effects of Inflation on Financial Statements

Substantially all of the bank’s assets relate to banking and are monetary in nature. Therefore they are not impacted by inflation to the same degree as companies in capital-intensive industries in a replacement cost environment. During a period of rising prices, a net monetary asset position results in loss in purchasing power and conversely a net monetary liability position results in an increase in purchasing power. In the banking industry, typically monetary assets exceed monetary liabilities. Therefore as prices increase, financial institutions experience a decline in the purchasing power of their net assets.

Future Outlook

The bank’s results of operations in the third quarter of 2006 reflect a marked improvement over the same period during 2005. Results in the third quarter of 2006 are at the highest level since the fourth quarter of 2005, which was prior to expansion into the Harrison and Jefferson County markets. As the new offices grow and mature earnings should continue to improve. MVB’s emphasis in future periods will be to do those things that have made the bank successful thus far. The critical challenge for the bank in the future is to attract core deposits to fund growth in the new markets through continued delivery of the most outstanding customer service with the highest quality products and technology.

The bank introduced internet banking in the second quarter of 2005 and continues to explore all options which better enable it to serve its customers.

Item 3. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls are procedures that a company designs with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in their reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (such as this Form 10-QSB), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified under the SEC’s rules. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Internal controls are procedures that a company designs with the objective of providing reasonable assurance that transactions are properly authorized, assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use and transactions are properly recorded and reported all to permit the preparation of a company’s financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all error and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments and decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of control also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report and pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness and design of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting information required to be disclosed by the Company, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

Changes in internal controls

In addition, there have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
