PART 1 – FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 1 – FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
EVANS BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005 and 2004
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  The accounting and reporting policies followed by Evans Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), a financial holding company, and its two direct, wholly-owned subsidiaries: Evans National Bank (the “Bank”), and its subsidiaries, ENB Associates Inc. (“ENB”), Evans National Leasing, Inc. (“ENL”) and Evans National Holding Corp. (“ENHC”); and Evans National Financial Services, Inc. (“ENFS”), and its subsidiary, ENB Insurance Agency, Inc. (“ENBI”) and its subsidiary, Frontier Claims Services, Inc., (“FCS”) in the preparation of the accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with general practice within the banking industry. Except as the context otherwise requires, the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries are collectively referred to in this report as the “Company.”
 
  The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations for the interim periods have been made. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
 
  The results of operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the Notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
 
2. SECURITIES
 
  Securities which the Company has the positive ability and intent to hold to maturity are stated at amortized cost. Securities which the Company has identified as available-for-sale are stated at fair value with changes in fair value included as a component of stockholders’ equity.
 
3. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
 
  The allowance for loan losses represents the amount charged against the Bank’s earnings to establish an allowance for probable loan losses based on the Bank’s management’s evaluation of the loan portfolio. Factors considered by the Bank’s management in establishing the allowance include: the collectibility of individual loans, current loan concentrations, charge-off history, delinquent loan percentages, input from regulatory agencies and general economic conditions.
 
  On a quarterly basis, management of the Bank meets to review and determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. In making this determination, the Bank’s management analyzes the ultimate collectibility of the loans in its portfolio by incorporating feedback provided by the Bank’s internal loan staff, an independent internal loan review function and information provided by examinations performed by regulatory agencies.
 
  The analysis of the allowance for loan losses is composed of three components: specific credit allocation, general portfolio allocation and subjectively by determined allocation. The specific credit allocation includes a detailed review of the credit in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan” and No. 118, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan – Income Recognition and Disclosures,” and allocation is made based on this analysis. The general portfolio allocation consists of an assigned reserve percentage based on the actual credit rating of the loan.
 
  The subjective portion of the allowance reflects management’s evaluation of various conditions, and involves a higher degree of uncertainty because this component of the allowance is not identified with specific problem credits of portfolio segments. The conditions evaluated in connection with this component include the following: industry and regional conditions; seasoning of the loan portfolio and changes in the composition of and growth in the loan portfolio; the strength and duration of the business cycle; existing

  general economic and business conditions in the lending areas; credit quality trends in nonaccruing loans; historical loan charge-off experience; and the results of bank regulatory examinations.
 
  The following table sets forth information regarding the allowance for loan losses for the six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.

4. REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
  The Bank’s primary sources of revenue are interest income from loans and investments and service charge income from loans and deposits. ENBI’s revenue is derived mainly from insurance commissions. Revenue is recognized in the period in which it is earned. The revenue is recognized on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
5. PER SHARE DATA
 
  The common stock per share information is based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period, retroactively adjusted for stock dividends and stock splits. The Company’s potential dilutive securities included 2,807 and 3,136 dilutive shares for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005, respectively. There were 1,803 and 2,003 dilutive shares for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004, respectively. On February 16, 2005, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.33 per share paid on April 4, 2005 to shareholders of record as of March 14, 2005. All share and per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect a 5% stock dividend paid in December 2004.
 
6. TREASURY STOCK

Starting January 1, 2005, the activities of non-deposit investment service sales were functionally reorganized into the Company’s Insurance Agency Activities and are being internally managed as a segment of ENBI. As a result, beginning January 1, 2005, all such activities are reported as Insurance Agency Activities. Activities of non-deposit investment service sales prior to January 1, 2005 were reclassified as Insurance Agency Activities for comparative purposes.

8. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS
 
  The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not reflect various commitments and contingent liabilities, which arise in the normal course of business, and which involve elements of credit risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk. These commitments and contingent liabilities consist of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. A summary of the Bank’s commitments and contingent liabilities at June 30, 2005 and 2004 is as follows:
         
  2005 2004
  (in thousands)
Commitments to extend credit
 $65,716  $44,777 
Standby letters of credit
  2,244   1,640 
 
        
Total
 $67,960  $46,417 
 
        
Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit include exposure to some credit loss in the event of nonperformance of the customer. The Bank’s credit policies and procedures for credit commitments and financial guarantees are the same as those for extensions of credit that are recorded on the Company’s unaudited consolidated balance sheets. Because these instruments have fixed maturity dates, and because they may expire without being drawn upon, they do not necessarily represent cash requirements of the Bank. The Bank has not incurred any losses on its commitments during the past two years.
Certain lending commitments for construction residential mortgage loans are considered derivative instruments under the guidelines of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” The changes in the fair value of these commitments due to interest rate risk are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as these derivatives are not considered material.
The Company is subject to possible litigation proceedings in the normal course of business. As of
June 30, 2005, there were no claims pending against the Company that management considered to be significant.
9. RECLASSIFICATIONS
 
  Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2004 consolidated financial statements to conform with the presentation used in 2005.
 
10. NET PERIODIC BENEFIT COSTS
 
  The Bank has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all Company employees. The plan provides benefits that are based on the employees’ compensation and years of service. The Bank uses an actuarial method of amortizing prior service cost and unrecognized net gains or losses which result from actual experience and assumptions being different than those that are projected. The amortized method the Bank is using recognizes the prior service cost and net gains or losses over the average remaining service period of active employees.
 
  The Bank also maintains a nonqualified supplemental executive retirement plan covering certain members of the Company’s senior management. The Bank uses an actuarial method of amortizing unrecognized net gains or losses which result from actual expense and assumptions being different than those that are projected. The amortization method the Bank uses recognizes the net gains or losses over the average remaining service period of active employees.

ITEM 2 — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. When used in this report, or in the documents incorporated by reference herein, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “seek,” and similar expressions identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding the Company’s business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies, statements regarding the asset quality of the Company’s loan and investment portfolios, and estimates of the Company’s risks and future costs and benefits.


 

13

These forward-looking statements are based largely on the expectations of the Company’s management and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to general economic conditions, either nationally or in the Company’s market areas, that are worse than expected; increased competition among depository or other financial institutions; inflation and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce the Company’s margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments; changes in laws or government regulations affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees and capital requirements; the Company’s ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities; the Company’s ability to successfully integrate acquired entities; changes in accounting pronouncements and practices, as adopted by financial institution regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and saving habits; changes in the Company’s organization, compensation and benefit plans; and other factors discussed elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-Q, as well as in the Company’s periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Many of these factors are beyond the Company’s control and difficult to predict.
Because of these and other uncertainties, the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those contemplated, expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained herein. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking information, whether as a result of new, updated information, future events or otherwise.
APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
     The Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and follow general practices within the industries in which it operates. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, as this information changes, the unaudited consolidated financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions and judgments. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments, than others, and as such have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported.
     The most significant accounting policies followed by the Company are presented in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. These policies provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the Company’s unaudited consolidated 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 and valuation of goodwill to be the accounting areas that require 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 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 expected future cash flows on the impaired loans, estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience 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 type on the consolidated balance sheets.
     The amount of goodwill reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements is required to be tested by management for impairment on at least an annual basis. The test for impairment of goodwill on the identified reporting unit is considered a critical accounting estimate because it requires judgment and the use of estimates related to the growth assumptions and market multiples used in the valuation model.

     Asset quality continues to remain strong despite net charge-offs of $202 thousand in the second quarter of 2005. Non-performing loans, defined as accruing loans greater than 90 days past due and non-accrual loans, totaled 0.73% of total loans outstanding at June 30, 2005 as compared to 0.99% at March 31, 2005. The allowance for loan losses totaled $3.2 million or 1.30% of gross loans outstanding at June 30, 2005 as compared to $3.2 million or 1.41% of gross loans outstanding at March 31, 2005.
     The adequacy of the Company’s allowance for loan losses is reviewed quarterly by the Company’s management with consideration given to loan concentrations, charge-off history, delinquent loan percentages, and

general economic conditions. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate for credit losses from existing loans.

Investing Activities
     The Company’s securities portfolio decreased by 2.2%, or $4.0 million, to approximately $173.6 million at June 30, 2005 as compared to approximately $177.6 million at March 31, 2005. The decline in the securities portfolio was due in part to available funds being used for increased lending, along with the seasonal decline in Muni-Vest deposits during the three month period ended June 30, 2005. The Company monitors extension and prepayment risk in the portfolio to limit potential exposures. Management believes the average expected life of the portfolio is 3.4 years as of June 30, 2005, as compared to 3.9 years as of March 31, 2005. Available-for-sale securities with a total fair value of $148.2 million at June 30, 2005 were pledged as collateral to secure public deposits and for other purposes required or permitted by law.
Funding Activities
     Total deposits, during the quarter ended June 30, 2005, increased 1.4% to $362.0 million at June 30, 2005 from $357.0 million at March 31, 2005. Regular savings deposits decreased to $93.1 million at June 30, 2005, reflecting a 1.8% or $1.7 million decrease for the quarter, partially due to seasonal declines in municipal savings, along with a shift of funds to time deposits. Time deposits less than $100,000 increased 2.4% or $1.9 million. Muni-Vest deposits decreased 21.7% or $15.4 million for the quarter, due to the normal outflow of municipal funds, which occurs during the second and third quarters of each calendar year, prior to the school tax collections in the fall. Core deposits (all deposits excluding time deposits greater than $100,000) decreased 3.7% or $11.6 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2005. Time deposits $100,000 and over increased 36.3% or $15.7 million due primarily to successful municipal certificate of deposit bidding in the Bank’s market area. Demand deposits increased 10.5%, NOW accounts decreased 10.3% and securities sold under agreement to repurchase decreased 17.6% from March 31, 2005. The balances of these items vary day to day based on customer transaction volume and represent normal deposit activity.
ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Income
     Net income was $1.2 million or $0.45 per basic and diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $1.1 million or $0.41 per basic and diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. Net income represented a return on average assets of 1.02% for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 compared to 1.10% for the same period in 2004. The return on average equity for the second quarter of 2005 was 13.19 % compared to 12.91% for the second quarter of 2004.
     On a year-to-date basis, net income was $2.4 million or $0.94 per basic and diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to $2.2 million or $0.86 per basic and diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Return on average assets and return on average equity was 1.08% and 13.68%, respectively for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to 1.21% and 13.23%, respectively for the same period in 2004.
Other Operating Results
     Net interest income for three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 was $3.6 million and $7.0 million, respectively, an increase of $0.4 and $0.7 million over the same periods in 2004, and is primarily as a result of growth in interest-earning assets and our entry into the small ticket leasing business through the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Evans National Leasing, acquired in December 2004.
     The net interest margin for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 was 3.45% and 3.41%, respectively, as compared to 3.52% and 3.62% for the same periods in 2004. This decrease is primarily due to an increase in the Bank’s cost of interest-bearing liabilities in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005, to 2.34% and 2.23%, respectively, from 1.59% and 1.58% in the same periods of 2004. Muni-Vest deposits, savings deposits, time deposits, borrowings, and interest on the Company’s junior subordinated debentures issued in October 2004 were the primary drivers of this increase in the cost of funds.
     The provision for loan losses for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 increased to $188 thousand and $339 thousand, respectively, from $136 thousand and $272 thousand for the same periods in 2004. The increase was a result of our entry into the small ticket leasing business through Evans National Leasing, along with continued commercial loan growth. Commercial real estate loans tend to have a higher credit risk than consumer loans. To offset this higher credit risk, the Bank continued to retain fixed rate residential loans originated during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 as opposed to selling the majority in the secondary markets.

Non-interest income was $2.5 million for the three months period ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $0.6 million, or 29.4% over the same period in 2004. Non-interest income was $5.5 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $1.3 million or 29.7% over the same period in 2004. These increases were primarily a result of increased insurance fee revenue for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005, of $0.4 million or 41.6% and $1.1 million or 44.0%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2004. The increased insurance fee revenue was primarily the result of ENB Insurance Agency’s acquisition of Ulrich & Company, Inc. in October 2004. Additionally, in June 2005, the Bank was the beneficiary of life insurance proceeds received with respect to a former director for approximately $0.1 million.
     Non-interest expense was $4.3 million for three month period ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $0.8 million, or 21.4% over the same period in 2004. Non-interest expense was $8.8 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $1.6 million or 22.4% over the same period in 2004. Salary and employee benefit expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 increased $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, from the same periods in 2004, due to Company growth and merit pay increases awarded in early 2005, as well as an increase in the number of employees related to acquisitions completed in the fourth quarter of 2004. In addition, occupancy expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 increased $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, over the same periods in 2004, primarily due to company growth, including the new office location for Ulrich & Company in Lockport, New York in October 2004 and the Bank’s move to new administrative offices in Hamburg, New York in July 2004. Additionally, in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005, there was an aggregate $0.3 million and $0.6 million increase, respectively, over the same periods in 2004, for the following: advertising and public relations expenses increased due to efforts to promote the Bank’s name in its new markets; professional services expenses increased due to the Bank’s engagement of an outside consultant for a revenue enhancement project; and other expenses increased primarily due to acquisitions completed in the fourth quarter of 2004.
     Income tax expense totaled $437 thousand and $929 thousand for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005, respectively, compared to $342 thousand and $730 thousand for same periods in 2004. The effective tax rate for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 were 27.1% and 27.6%, respectively, compared to 24.1% and 24.5% for the same periods in 2004. The increase is primarily a result of the decreased composition of non-taxable municipal securities interest income as a percentage of the overall investment portfolio and the larger contribution of non-tax advantaged income from insurance operations.
CAPITAL
     The Bank has consistently maintained regulatory capital ratios at, or above, federal “well capitalized” standards. Total stockholders’ equity was $36.8 million at June 30, 2005, up from $34.5 million at March 31, 2005. This increase is primarily attributable to second quarter earnings and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income during the second quarter, which is due to an increase in unrealized gains in the investment portfolio. Equity as a percentage of assets was 8.0% at June 30, 2005, compared to 7.5% at March 31, 2005. Book value per common share increased to $14.18 at June 30, 2005, from $13.28 at March 31, 2005.
LIQUIDITY
     The Bank utilizes cash flows from the investment portfolio and federal funds sold balances to manage the liquidity requirements related to loan demand and deposit fluctuations. The Bank also has many borrowing options. As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) the Bank is able to borrow funds at competitive rates. Advances of up to $44.0 million can be drawn on the FHLB via an Overnight Line of Credit Agreement between the Bank and the FHLB. An amount equal to 25% of the Bank’s total assets could be borrowed through the advance programs under certain qualifying circumstances. The Bank also has the ability to purchase up to $10.0 million in federal funds from one of its correspondent banks. By placing sufficient collateral in safekeeping at the Federal Reserve Bank, the Bank could also borrow at the discount window. Additionally, the Company has access to capital markets as a funding source.
     Cash flows from the Bank’s investment portfolio are laddered, so the securities mature at regular intervals, to provide funds from principal and interest payments at various times as liquidity needs may arise. Contractual maturities are also laddered, with consideration as to the volatility of market prices, so that the securities are available-for-sale from time-to-time without the need to incur significant losses. At June 30, 2005, approximately 2.8% of the Bank’s securities had contractual maturity dates of one year or less and approximately 27.7% had


 

19

maturity dates of five years or less. Available assets of $174.9 million, less public and purchased funds of $172.3 million, resulted in a long-term liquidity ratio of 102% at June 30, 2005, versus 108% at March 31, 2005.
     The Company’s liquidity needs can also be met by more aggressively pursuing municipal deposits, which are normally awarded on the basis of competitive bidding. The Company believes that the Bank maintains a sufficient level of U.S. government and government agency securities and New York State municipal bonds that can be pledged as collateral for these deposits.
ITEM 3 — QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
     Additional information responsive to this Item is contained in the Liquidity section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
     Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and/or interest rates of the Bank’s financial instruments. The primary market risk the Company is exposed to is interest rate risk. The core banking activities of lending and deposit-taking expose the Bank to interest rate risk, which occurs when assets and liabilities reprice at different times and by different amounts as interest rates change. As a result, net interest income earned by the Bank is subject to the effects of changing interest rates. The Bank measures interest rate risk by calculating the variability of net interest income in the future periods under various interest rate scenarios using projected balances for interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Management’s philosophy toward interest rate risk management is to limit the variability of net interest income. The balances of financial instruments used in the projections are based on expected growth from forecasted business opportunities, anticipated prepayments of loans, and investment securities and expected maturities of investment securities, loans and deposits. Management supplements the modeling technique described above with analysis of market values of the Bank’s financial instruments and changes to such market values given changes in the interest rates.
     The Bank’s Asset Liability Committee, which includes members of senior management, monitors the Bank’s interest rate sensitivity with the aid of a computer model that considers the impact of ongoing lending and deposit taking activities, as well as interrelationships in the magnitude and timing of the repricing of financial instruments, including the effect of changing interest rates on expected prepayments and maturities. When deemed prudent, management has taken actions, and intends to do so in the future, to mitigate exposure to interest rate risk through the use of on- or off-balance sheet financial instruments. Possible actions include, but are not limited to, changing the pricing of loan and deposit products, and modifying the composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and other financial instruments used for interest rate risk management purposes.
     The following table demonstrates the possible impact of changes in interest rates on the Bank’s net interest income over a 12 month period of time:
SENSITIVITY OF NET INTEREST INCOME
TO CHANGES IN INTEREST RATES
Calculated increase(decrease)
in projected annual net interest income
(in thousands)
         
  June 30, 2005 December 31, 2004
Changes in interest rates
        
 
+200 basis points
  (524)  ($497)
 
        
-200 basis points
  185   (425)
     Many assumptions were utilized by management to calculate the impact that changes in the interest rates may have on the Bank’s net interest income. The more significant assumptions related to the rate of prepayments of mortgage-related assets, loan and deposit volumes and pricing, and deposit maturities. The Bank assumed immediate changes in rates including 200 basis point rate changes. In the event that the 200 basis point rate changes cannot be achieved, the applicable rate changes are limited to lesser amounts such that interest rates cannot be less than zero.


 

20

These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the Bank cannot precisely predict the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income. Actual results may differ significantly due to the timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes in market conditions and interest rate differentials (spreads) between maturity/repricing categories, as well as any actions such as those previously described, which management may take to counter such changes. In light of the uncertainties and assumptions associated with the process, the amounts presented in the table and changes in such amounts are not considered significant to the Bank’s projected net interest income.
ITEM 4 — CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
     The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2005 (the end of the period covered by this Report) have been designed and are functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in its reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
     There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred in the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
