1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company,
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and
regulations; nevertheless, the Company believes that the disclosures are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial
statements and the notes hereto should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form
10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 2006, which was filed January 16,
2007. In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments, including normal
recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of
Urban Television Network Corporation as of March 31, 2007 and the results

included. The results of operations for the interim period are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
There have been no changes in accounting policies used by the Company
during the quarter ended March 31, 2007.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
Urban Television Network Corporation (the "Company") formerly known as
Waste Conversion Systems, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the state
of Nevada on October 21, 1986. The principal office of the corporation is
300 RadioShack Circle, Ste. T3-381, Fort Worth, Texas 76102.
In January 2002, the Company underwent a change of control in connection
With Urban Television Network Corporation, a Texas corporation,
(Urban-Texas) Agreeing to deposit $100,000 into an attorneys escrow account
in return for receiving a balance sheet with no assets and no liabilities.
The directors of the Company appointed Urban-Texas officers as new officers
of the Company, and at the same time resigned their board positions and
appointed the directors of Urban-Texas as the Company's new board of
directors. Urban-Texas agreed to deposit 300,000 shares of the Company's
common stock into the attorney's escrow account after the completion of the
Stock Exchange Agreement described below, dated February 7, 2003.
On May 1, 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with Urban-Texas to
acquire the rights to the Urban-Texas affiliate network signal space which
included the assignment of the Urban-Texas broadcast television station
affiliates for 16,000,0000 shares of common stock, which became 800,000
after a 1 for 20 reverse stock split.
On February 7, 2003, the Company entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement
with the majority shareholders of Urban-Texas. Among other things, the
Agreement provided for the Company's purchase of approximately 90% of the
issued and outstanding capital stock of Urban-Texas (13,248,000 of
14,759,000 shares) in exchange for the Company's issuance of 13,248,000
shares of its authorized but unissued common stock, $.0001 par value (the
"Exchange Shares"), to the majority shareholders of Urban-Texas. In June of
2003, the remaining 10% of Urban-Texas common stock was acquired by the
Company.

(UNAUDITED)
2. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Urban-Texas is considered the accounting acquirer, and the accompanying
financial statements include the operations of Urban-Texas from the
earliest period presented. The Company operated from May 1, 2002 to
February 7, 2003 as a 71% subsidiary of Urban-Texas, a predecessor entity
to the existing business. The May 1, 2002 and February 7, 2003 transactions
with the Company are presented as a recapitalization of Urban-Texas.
The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of $.0001 par value
stock and 500,000 shares of $1.00 par value preferred stock.
The Company is engaged in the business of supplying programming to
broadcast television stations and cable systems. Formerly the Company's
business had been the marketing of thermal burner systems that utilize
industrial and agricultural waste products as fuel to produce steam, which
generates electricity, air-conditioning or heat.
On September 30, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with GeoTec
Thermal Generators, Inc. to acquire 200,000 tons of mined coal in exchange
for 100,000 shares of Preferred Stock, which may be converted into the
Company's Common Stock, at the sole discretion of the GeoTec Thermal
Generators, Inc., at any time in an amount equal to the purchase price at
the stock bid price of $.10 on September 30, 2005.
The Company is actively pursuing the sale of the mined coal reserves to
utility companies and other companies that use coal as an alternative fuel.
Also the coal reserves have related federal income tax credits resulting
from the Super Fund established by The Federal Government that can be sold
to other companies and the Company is actively pursuing buyers for these
tax credits. At September 30, 2006, the Company established an impairment
reserve of $4,600,000 against the coal reserves.
Accounting Method
The Company records income and expenses on the accrual method.
Revenue Recognition
The Company's sources of revenues includes sale of short-form national and
local spot advertising long-form program time slots. The Company's policy
is to recognize the revenue associated with these sources of revenue at the
time that it inserts the short-form advertising spots or airs the long-form
program at the network or local level.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its subsidiary. All material intercompany accounts and transactions are
eliminated. The Company owns 100% of Urban Television Network Corporation,
a Texas corporation and Urban Records, Inc., a Nevada corporation, which
have no assets or operations.
Coal Reserves
The Coal reserves owned by the Company are recorded at lower of cost or net
Realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated price at which the
coal reserves can be sold in the normal course of business after allowing
for the cost of processing and sale. Such cost will be depreciated using
the units-of-production method as the coal reserves are sold. See
impairment of assets disclosure below for impairment provision against the
coal reserves. At September 30, 2006, the Company established an impairment
reserve of $4,600,000 against the coal reserves.

2. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Non Goodwill Intangible Assets
Intangible assets other than goodwill consist of network assets acquired by
purchase. They are being amortized over their expected lives of 5 years and
are reviewed for potential impairment whenever events or circumstances
indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. No impairment loss
was recognized during the reporting periods. On January 1, 2002, the
Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142,
Goodwill and Intangible Assets. This provides that a recognized intangible
shall be amortized over its useful life to the reporting entity unless that
life is determined to be indefinite. The amount of an intangible asset to
be amortized shall be the amount initially assigned to that asset less any
residual value.
Impairment of Assets
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 addresses the financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets, excluding
goodwill and intangible assets, to be held and used or disposed of. In
accordance with SFAS No. 144, the carrying values of long-lived assets are
periodically reviewed by the Company and impairments would be recognized if
the expected future operating non-discounted cash flows derived from an
asset were less than its carrying value and if the carrying value is more
than the fair value of the asset. At September 30, 2006, the Company
concluded that the coal reserves acquired for 100,000 shares of preferred
shares and valued at $4,600,000 was impaired and an impairment provision of
$4,600,000 was provided at September 30, 2006.
Issuance of Common Stock
The issuance of common stock for other than cash is recorded by the Company
at management's estimate of the fair value of the assets acquired or
services rendered.
Income (Loss) Per Share
Income (loss) per common share is calculated in accordance with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share".
Basic Income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net
income (loss) per share is computed similar to basic net income (loss) per
share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of
additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential
common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were
dilutive. Stock options and warrants are anti-dilutive, and accordingly,
are not included in the calculation of income (loss) per share.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income (loss) and net income (loss) are the same for the
Company.
Cash
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers
unrestricted cash and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash.

2. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company at times maintains cash in excess of federally insured limits.
The amount in excess of the federally insured limits at March 31, 2007 was
$-0-.
Advertising Costs
The Company expenses non-direct advertising costs as incurred. The Company
did not incur any direct response advertising costs for the six months
ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees for
services based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued and
accounts for equity instruments issued to other than employees based on the
fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity
instruments, whichever is more reliably measurable. The determined value is
recognized as an expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of
operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No.48, Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for
income taxes by prescribing a minimum probability threshold that a tax
position must meet before a financial statement benefit is recognized. The
minimum threshold is defined in FIN48 as a tax position that is more likely
than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing
authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation
processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit
to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is
greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate
settlement. FIN 48 must be applied to all existing tax positions upon
initial adoption. The cumulative effect of applying FIN 48 at adoption, if
any, is to be reported as an adjustment to opening retained earnings for
the year of adoption. FIN 48 is effective for the Company's year end 2007,
although early adoption is permitted. The Company is assessing the
potential effect of FIN 48 on its financial statements.
In 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued the following:
- SFAS No. 155: Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments
- SFAS No. 156: Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets
- SFAS No. 157: Fair Value Measurements
- SFAS No. 158: Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and
Other Postretirement Plans

2. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Management has reviewed these new standards and believes that they have no
impact on the financial statements of the Company.
Reclassification of Prior Year Amounts
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current
year presentation.
3. Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable consists of normal trade receivables. The Company
assesses the collectibility of its accounts receivable regularly. Based on
this assessment, an allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded. At March
31, 2007, an allowance for doubtful accounts was not considered necessary.
4. Network Assets - Amortization
Network assets consist of intangibles other than Goodwill. These assets are
recorded at cost and consist of amounts paid to acquire the television
network affiliate base from Hispanic Television Network, plus technology
consulting directly related to setting up the affiliate network. These
assets automatically renew every year unless either party terminates the
agreement by such notification to the other party. A useful life of five
(5) years is estimated for the assets. These agreements are not expected to
be terminated by either party prior to its useful life period. Total
amortization of these assets has been $170,106 and the amortization for the
six months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was $12,520 and $12,520
respectively.
Future amortization of the Network assets at March 31, 2007 will be $25,522
and on an annual basis be as follows:
Year ended September 30, 2007 $12,520
Year ended September 30, 2008 $13,002
5. Coal Reserves
By agreement dated September 30, 2005 with GeoTec Thermal Generators, Inc.,
the Company acquired 200,000 tons of mined coal in exchange for 100,000
shares of preferred Stock, which may be converted into the Company's common
stock, at the sole discretion of the GeoTec Thermal Generators, Inc., at
any time in an amount equal to the purchase price, which based on the bid
price of $.10 price on September 30, 2005, was valued at $4,600,000. GeoTec
Thermal Generators, Inc. has other coal in other locations in the United
States and the agreement allows the Company to substitute coal in these
other locations, which the Company may exercise this right if it for
example would expedite the delivery process. In evaluating the coal assets
in accordance with SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets" as discussed in Note 1 - Significant Accounting
Policies, the Company has recorded an impairment reserve of $4,600,000
against the coal assets.

Legal Matters
The Company's motion to dismiss was granted on February 23, 2006 by the
United States District Court, Central District of California, Los Angeles
Division in a legal action styled Walter E. Morgan, Jr. vs. Urban
Television Network Corporation et al. The Company claimed that the
Plaintiff claims should have been brought in a previous case wherein the
Company took a judgment against Mr. Morgan in excess of $1,500,000 in June
2204 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Fort
Worth Division. Mr. Morgan and his related companies appealed the judgment
which was dismissed sua sponte by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth
Circuit. The Company has made the decision not to record the default
judgment as an asset until at such time as it is confident that asset value
can be recovered from the defendants.
The Company was party to legal action pending in the United States District
Court for the Northern District of Texas. In a lawsuit styled Michael J.
Quilling, Receiver For MegaFund Corporation and Stanley A. Leitner vs.Urban
Television Network Corporation, the Receiver filed a complaint against the
Company to recover advances in the amount of $665,000 to the Company by
Mega Fund Corporation. The Company recorded these advances as a liability
on its financial statements and on December 6, 2006, the presiding judge
signed an Agreed Order of Dismissal that dismissed without prejudice the
lawsuit of Michael J. Quilling, the Receiver for Mega Fund Corporation.
The Company is party to legal action pending in the 162nd District Court,
Dallas, Texas. The Company has been served with a summons in a civil case
styled Westar Satellite Services, L.P. vs.Urban Television Network
Corporation. The Plaintiff has filed complaint against the Company to
Recover amounts due Plaintiff under a promissory note and Master Service
Agreement. The Company has recorded the related liabilities for the
promissory note and master service agreement on its financial statements
and believes that the ultimate disposition will not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of
operations and liquidity.
13. Going Concern
The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a deficit
in both working capital and stockholders' equity. In order for the Company
to sustain operations and execute its television broadcast and programming
business plan , capital will need to be raised to support operations as the
company executes its business plan. These conditions raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company may raise additional capital through operating cash flows, the
sale of its equity securities, or debt securities. Subsequent to March 31,
2007, the Company has raised additional capital of approximately $70,000
from shareholder advances.

Background
Urban Television Network Corporation (the "Company") formerly known as Waste
Conversion Systems, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada
On October 21, 1986. The principal office of the corporation is 300 Radio Shack
Circle, Suite T3-381, Fort Worth, Texas 76102.
In January 2002, the Company underwent a change of control with the directors of
the Company appointing the directors and officers of Urban Television Network
Corporation, a Texas corporation, (Urban-Texas) as the new directors and
officers of the Company, and at the same time resigning their board positions.
On May 1, 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with Urban-Texas to
acquire the rights to the Urban-Texas affiliate network signal space which
included the assignment of the Urban-Texas broadcast television station
affiliates for 16,000,0000 shares of common stock, which became 800,000 shares
after the 1 for 20 reverse split in November 2002.
On February 7, 2003, the Company entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement with
the majority shareholders of Urban-Texas to acquire approximately 90% of the
issued and outstanding capital stock of Urban-Texas (13,248,000 of 14,759,000
shares) in exchange for the Company's issuance of 13,248,000 shares of its
authorized but unissued common stock, $.0001 par value (the "Exchange Shares"),
to the majority shareholders of Urban-Texas. The remaining 10% was contributed
to the Company in June of 2003.
Urban-Texas is considered the accounting acquirer, and the accompanying
financial statements include the operations of Urban-Texas from the earliest
period presented. The May 2002 and February 2003 transactions with the Company
are presented as a recapitalization of Urban-Texas.
22
The consideration exchanged in Stock Exchange Agreement was negotiated between
the Company and Urban-Texas in a transaction with management. The management of
the Company and Urban- Texas, were the same individuals. The transaction does
not represent an arms-length transaction.
On October 30, 2003, the Company completed a stock subscription agreement with
Wright Entertainment, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, whose owner and
managing director is Lonnie G. Wright, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
the Company. Wright Entertainment, LLC entered into the stock subscription
agreement for Fourteen Million (14,000,000) common shares for Seven Million
($7,000,000) Dollars or Fifty ($0.50) Cents per share. The stock sale was
structured as an installment stock sale. The terms of the stock sale are as
follows: $500,000 down, the $6,500,000 balance payable on a promissory note at
$875,000 Dollars quarterly, including 6% interest on the declining balance. A
portion ($200,000) of the $500,000 down payment was satisfied by one of the
Company's lenders forgiving $198,515 of advances due the lender and $1,485 of
accrued interest on a note payable to the lender. In December 2004, this
subscription agreement was terminated by mutual agreement between the Company
and Wright Entertainment LLC as well as the termination of 4,000,000 shares that
has been issued to Wright Entertainment and were to be vested to Wright
Entertainment upon the full payment of the subscription agreement.
On December 13, 2004, we entered into a definitive agreement with World One
Media Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation. The definitive agreement called for
World One to purchase 70,000,000 restricted common shares for $7,000,000. The
subscription agreement signed on December 23, 2004 set the terms of the
installment purchase at $100,000 being paid on December 23, 2004 and with a
promissory note bearing no interest being executed for the remaining $6,900,000
and being paid at the rate of $150,000 every 45 days beginning on January 31,
2005 until promissory note has been paid in full. All the shares are pledged as
collateral for the promissory note and will be physically held by the Company.
Additionally, World One was to be issued warrants for 30,000,000 (reduced by
mutual agreement from the original 80,000,000 warrants) shares of common stock
that can be exercised for $.01 per share at any time after the Company's stock
price maintained a $10 bid price for 20 consecutive trading days.
As part of the definitive agreement, Wright Entertainment LLC which had
previously entered into a stock subscription agreement for 14,000,000 shares
agreed to the termination and cancellation of that agreement by the Company and
further agreed to the termination and cancellation of 4,000,000 shares that had
been issued in Wright Entertainment LLC's name and were to be vested when Wright
Entertainment LLC completed the payment for its subscription agreement. The
definitive agreement calls for the Company to pay Wright Entertainment LLC,
owned by Lonnie G. Wright, $300,000 ($60,000 at the signing and $15,000 per
month for sixteen months beginning January 15, 2005) and issue Wright
Entertainment LLC 1,000,000 shares of the Company's restricted common stock.
On July 26, 2005, the Board of Directors voted to (1) terminate the stock
subscription agreement with Dove Media Group, Inc. (formerly known as World One
Media Group, Inc.)due to its nonpayment of required installment payments, (2)
cancel the 70,000,000 shares issued and held by the Company as security on the
stock subscription agreement, (3) reissue 2,500,000 shares to Dove Media Group,
Inc. for $250,000 that it paid towards the stock subscription Agreement and (4)
cancel the 5,000,000 shares that had been authorized for Dr. Ajibike Akinkoye
for services to be rendered.
On July 29, 2005, we entered into a stock subscription agreement with Miles
Investment Group, Inc., a Texas limited liability company controlled by Jacob R.
Miles III, a shareholder and the Company's Chief Executive Officer. The
agreement called for Miles Investment Group, LLC to purchase 69,000,000
restricted common shares for $6,900,000 on an installment basis over a 28 month
period with the terms being $100,000 as a down payment and $250,000 per month
beginning on September 1, 2005 and the first each month thereafter until the
total of $6,800,000 has been paid in full. Additionally, Miles Investment Group,
LLC had the right to warrants for 30,000,000 shares of restricted common stock
that could be exercised for $.01 per share in varying amounts depending on the
Company's stock price on the OTCBB exchange.
23
On September 29, 2006, the Board of Directors voted to terminate the stock
subscription agreement and warrants with Miles Investment Group, LLC due to non-
performance on the payment terms as called for in the subscription agreement,
after allowing Miles Investment Group, LLC a number of extension to come into
compliance with the subscription agreement. The impact of this action was to (1)
remove 67,000,000 shares from the issued $0.0001 par value common stock, which
reduced the number of issued and outstanding from 144,822,277 shares to
77,822,277 shares and (2) cancel the 30,000,000 warrants.
On September 29, 2006, the Board of Directors approved effective as of September
23, 2006, a subscription agreement R. J. Halden Holdings, Inc. ("RJHH"). RJHH is
one of the largest, if not the largest shareholder in the Company. The
Subscription Agreement calls for RJHH to fund $1.5 million on or before January
31, 2007. RJHH is entitled to purchase 64% interest in the Company, or a total
of 136,104,486 shares. The subscription vest with pro rata advances in
increments of a minimum of 500,000 shares as paid.
Although the Company is currently not airing programming to affiliates as
discussed later in this Item 2 in the Liquidity and Capital Resources Section,
the Company's business plan is to supply programming to independent broadcast
television stations and cable systems. Formerly as Waste Conversion Systems,
Inc., the Company's business had been the marketing of thermal burner systems
that utilize industrial and agricultural waste products as fuel to produce
steam, which generates electricity, air-conditioning or heat.
In 2001, the Company acquired a general market television network affiliate base
from Hispanic Television Network, Inc. (HTVN) and rebranded it towards the Urban
market. The Company's business is to provides ethnic television programming to
the minority programming interests of the African-American and English- speaking
Hispanic population markets across the United States. The Company at the time of
going dark in April of 2006 included approximately 74 broadcast television
station affiliates in various parts of the country. Upon successfully securing
new financing and maintaining its Nielsen Market Research agreement, the
Company's goal is to attract the larger of these 74 affiliates along with
independent full power stations as affiliates.
We plan to target the minority markets, primarily the African American and
Hispanic Markets, because we believe that they present vast marketing
opportunities and that are currently under-served by our competition. The
African American market, composes approximately 13% of the U.S. population with
a spending power in excess of $600 billion. The Hispanic population is also
approximately 13% of the U.S. total with a spending power also in the $600+
billion range. With few competitors in broadcast television that are exclusively
devoted to programming to the minority markets, we feel that there are
attractive opportunities to provide a quality broadcasting service to the
African American and Hispanic (especially bi-lingual and English speaking
Hispanic programming) populations that together make up in excess of 25% of the
U.S. population.
On July 10, 2004, the Company received a certificate from Nevada Minority
Business Council, an affiliate of the National Minority Supplier Development
Council, indicating that the Company qualifies as a Minority Owned and Managed
Company, which has met the certification criteria established by the National
Minority Supplier Development Council. The certification was renewed on February
1, 2005 for a one year period. On January 31, 2006, the Company renewed its
certification with the Dallas/Fort Worth Minority Business Council, Inc. for a
one year period ending January 31, 2007. The Company did not apply for renewal
of the certification after it expired on January 31, 2007.
Our financial results depend on a number of factors, including the ability to
attract new financing for the Company's growth, the strength of the national
economy and the local economies served by affiliate stations, total advertising
dollars dedicated to the markets served by affiliate stations, advertising
dollars dedicated to the African American and Hispanic consumers in the markets
served by affiliate stations, the affiliate stations' audience ratings, our
ability to provide interesting minority focused programming, local market
competition from other television stations and other media, and government
regulations and policies, such as the multiple ownership rules, the ability of
Class A affiliate stations to be considered must carry for cable systems to
increase their distribution and the deadlines for television stations converting
to digital signals.
24
Management has developed a revenue generation plan that includes program
syndication, securing network advertising at the best available rate, uplinking
other party's signals to the satellite, plus implementing a technology plan to
assist its affiliates with sale of their local advertising time. Management's
plan is to increase rates as affiliate stations are added to the network. The
implementation of this comprehensive plan is expected to have a positive affect
upon sales revenues. In addition, the Company has added a focus to secure
affiliations with independent full power stations that have must carry
privileges with cable and digital distribution companies, but do not have the
financial capability to subscribe to Nielsen ratings in its local market.
Revenues
The Company's business plan includes multiple sources of revenues that are now
available to companies that have the ability to reach viewers through
television, the Internet and wireless devices that are delivering programming
and messages viewers that have access to these sources. Following is a
discussion of these revenue sources;
1. Advertising spots and programming time on the network and local
stations. Our revenues are affected primarily by the advertising rates that we
are able to charge for national advertising commercials on the Urban TV network
and local spots that the Company may obtain on local stations, as well as the
overall demand for African-American and English-speaking Hispanic television
advertising time by advertisers.
National Spot Advertising. National advertisers have the opportunity to buy
"spot" advertising on a network wide basis or in specific markets. For example,
an advertising agency in New York could purchase advertising spots on a program
airing in a particular time period on all the affiliate stations or purchase
advertising spots for a program airing on affiliate stations in particular
markets where the Network has an affiliate station.
The Company's plan is to have the yet to be established sales personnel located
in all major markets that have a large concentration of advertising agencies
targeting the African-American and English-speaking Hispanic markets. The sales
of the local spot advertising would them be generated by these local sales staff
personnel.
Local Spot Advertising. Advertising agencies and businesses located in
specific markets will buy commercial air-time in their respective market. This
commercial time will be sold in the market by a local sales force or as a
specific buy from a national client. Local spot advertising also includes event
marketing. In conjunction with a spot buy, the station incorporates events that
may be held on the premise of a business or advertiser for the purpose of
driving traffic to that place of business.
Program Time Sales. Also known as long-form programs are sold on the
network and on locally managed stations to companies wanting to purchase the
television time and air their own programs.
Advertising rates in general are determined primarily by:
o the markets covered by broadcast television affiliates,
o the number of competing African-American television stations in the
same market as our affiliate stations,
o the television audience share in the demographic groups targeted by
advertisers, and
o the supply and demand for African-American advertising time.
Seasonal fluctuations are also common to the broadcast industry and are due
primarily to fluctuations in advertising expenditures by national and local
advertisers. The first calendar quarter typically produces the lowest broadcast
revenues for the year because of the normal post-holiday decreases in
advertising.
25
Historically most of our network advertising has being sold to direct response
and per inquiry advertisers. Going forward, we plan to deploy a network
advertising team consisting of account executives that will solicit advertising
directly from national advertisers as well as soliciting advertising from
national advertising agencies. Locally managed stations will also have account
executives that will solicit local and national advertising directly from
advertisers and from advertising agencies in the local markets.
We will market our advertising time on the Urban Television network to:
o Advertising agencies and independent advertisers. We market commercial
time to advertising agencies and independent advertisers. The monetary
value of this time is based upon the estimated size of the viewing
audience; the larger the audience, the more we are able to charge for
the advertising time.
To measure the size of a viewing audience, networks and stations
generally subscribe to nationally recognized rating services, such as
Nielsen. We have executed an agreement with Nielsen Media Research To
measure the viewing audience of certain of our programs that are Aired
in the must carry programming on our affiliate network. This Agreement
will allow us to approach the larger advertising agencies. Currently,
a number of Urban Television's affiliate stations are located in the
smaller market areas of the country, which is also not as desirable to
the larger advertising clients. Our goal is to enter into affiliate
agreements full-power television stations located in the top
demographic market areas do not have the ability to obtain Nielsen
ratings for their individual station. Urban Television believes that
it can offer these stations a proposal that will give them the benefit
of Nielsen ratings on a local basis while giving the UATV Network the
ability to cumulate local ratings into a national rating for its
national advertisers.
o Affiliate Stations. In exchange for providing programming and
advertising time to affiliate stations, we retain advertising time and
gain access to the affiliate stations' markets. In a traditional
broadcasting contract, an affiliate station would retain all available
advertising time, which it would then sell to outside advertisers, and
the network would receive a fee from the affiliate station. As
mentioned above, our goal is to move our network from its predominate
low-power station affiliates to a full-power affiliate base. The basic
plan would continue to share to advertising time in return for
providing the programming. By aggregating a number of the affiliate
stations and accumulating a large household coverage base, Urban
Television will be able to sell its national advertising spots for the
best rate possible.
o Program Owners: In exchange for licensing rights to select
programming, the program owner retains a portion (usually half) of the
available advertising time in each program and we as the network get
the other half of the available advertising time in each program. The
program owner is then able to sell the advertising time he retains to
outside agencies and corporate advertisers. We obtain programming by
contracting with program owners at the annual National Association of
Television Program Executives convention and by contracting with
program owners who during the year are looking for distribution
sources. In the future, to acquire certain exclusive, original or
first-run usage and licenses for programming, we may be required to
incur upfront programming expenses.
2. Syndication: The Company also plans to become a leading syndicator to
independent stations outside the Urban Television Network and advertising
agencies of television programming targeting African-American, English-speaking
Hispanics, and Asian urban households. The Company's long-term strategic
objective is to be the dominant integrated urban media company; developing,
producing, and distributing entertainment content in the television and other
media channels that target the wide audience of consumers who enjoy urban
26
entertainment content, including African-Americans, English-speaking Hispanics,
Asian, suburban and urban consumers. The Company believes that it is well
positioned to achieve this objective, given the strength of its management
leadership, operating discipline, long-standing relationships, product mix, and
executional capabilities.
The size of the syndication television market is currently estimated to be
$2.6 billion. (1) African-American households represent 13,171,160 of the total
household universe of 109,600,000 or roughly 12%.(2) The value of Company's
market segment, focused on African-American household television advertising
dollars, is thus conservatively estimated by the Company at $312 million,
representing 12% of the aforementioned $2.6 billion in advertising sales in
broadcast syndication. The Company believes that a similar size market is on the
horizon for English speaking Hispanic-Americans. According to
HispanIntelligence,(3) a national media organization focused on Hispanic
advertising, the overall size of the market for advertising directed to
Hispanics is $2.8 billion per year. Ninety percent (90%) of these dollars are
dedicated to Spanish-language programming, leaving the size of the English
speaking market at 10%, or approximately $279 million per year. However, 52% of
Hispanics surveyed by HispanIntelligence, with the results reported in the same
publication, indicated that they prefer English as the communication medium for
advertisements across a broad base of programming, including the Internet. Thus,
HMG believes that this segment is poised to experience explosive growth in the
near future.
3. Multi-Platform Strategy in Wireless and other Digital Applications
After over five years of operation of the Urban Television Network, the
Company believes upon successfully obtaining new financing that it has assembled
a seasoned management team with the experience to develop the Company into a
diversified multi-platform distribution media company generating multiple cash
flow streams from produced and acquired urban focused content. The Company
believes that this platform would extend the Company's offerings to its targeted
urban consumers by enabling those consumers to access UATV content through
alternative distribution channels. To achieve this end, the Company intends to
expand its distribution to other media platforms such as cable television,
video-on-demand ("VOD"), wireless, broadband internet, internet protocol TV
("IPTV"), home video, personal digital appliances ("PDA's), cellular phones
utilizing G-3 broadband streaming infrastructure, and like digital and wireless
applications now known and hereinafter conceived and/or invented. The Company
intends to create equity value by monetizing cost- efficiently produced content
across multiple distribution channels generating multiple revenue streams, while
building a library of content assets that will have annuity value.
Expenses
Our most significant operating expenses are satellite and uplink transmission
costs, master control costs, technology expenses, employee compensation,
advertising and promotional expenses, and production and programming expenses.
In cases, where we may in the future incur upfront programming expenses to
procure exclusive programming usages and licenses, upfront payments will, in
most cases, be amortized over the applicable contract term. Until cash flow
permits, we do not expect to acquire exclusive programming usages and licenses
that require up front costs. We will maintain tight controls over our operating
expenses by contracting master control and centralizing network programming,
finance, human resources and management information system functions.
Depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of costs associated with the
acquisition of additional stations are also significant elements in determining
our total expense level.

As a result of attracting key officers and personnel to Urban Television, we may
offer stock grants or options as an alternate form of compensation. In the event
that the strike price of the stock option is less than the fair market value of
the stock on the date of grant, any difference will be amortized as compensation
expense over the vesting period of the stock options.
Our monthly operating expense level may vary from month to month due primarily
to the timing of significant advertising and promotion expenses. We will incur
significant advertising and promotion expenses associated with the growth of
Urban Television and with the establishment of our presence in new markets
associated with any new station lease or acquisition agreements. Increased
advertising revenue associated with these advertising and promotional expenses
will typically lag behind the incurrence of these expenses.
Results of Operations
Urban Television Network Corporation - Historical Results for the three month
and six month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.
REVENUES. Revenues are primarily derived from sales of advertising and
programming time. Revenues for the three months and six months ended March 31,
2007 were $1,241 and $3,997 compared to $26,992 and $60,027 for the three months
and six month periods ended March 31, 2006. The Company at the time of going
dark in April of 2006 included approximately 70 broadcast television station
affiliates in various parts of the country. Upon successfully securing new
financing and maintaining its Nielsen Market Research agreement, the Company's
goal is to attract the larger of these 70 affiliates along with independent full
power stations as affiliates.
The operations are still in the growth stages and the Company is dependent upon
working capital derived from management, significant shareholders and private
investors to provide sufficient working capital. There is no assurance, however,
that the Company will be able to generate the necessary working capital needs
from these sources.
OPERATING RESULTS. For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 the
Company had operating cost of $53,267 and $205,910, respectively. For the six
months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had operating cost of $109,707
and $432,300, respectively. The major components of cost of operations for the
three month and six month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:

-------- -------- -------- --------
The expense for satellite and uplink services decreased by $59,403 and $125,702
during the three months and six months ended March 31, 2007, respectively, as
compared to the same periods ended March 31, 2006, primarily because the Company
has not been on the air since April of 2006. The expense for the three months
and six months ended March 31, 2007 is an accrual under an uplink contract that
is still in effect.
The Company was not on the air during the three and six months ended March 31,
2007 and did not incur any costs for master control operations, production,
affiliate relations and programming during the three months and six months
periods ending March 31, 2007, except for the $16,667 of amortization of its
agreement with Circle R Media for equipment and space which was exchanged for
the Company's common stock.
28
Technology costs decreased by $53,784 and $77,074 during the three months and
six months ended March 31, 2007, respectively, as compared to the same periods
ended March 31, 2006, primarily because the Company has not been on the air
since April of 2006 and did not require the level of technology support that is
required when the network is airing programming to an affiliate base.
Administration expenses of $133,606 for the three months ended March 31, 2007
decreased by $222,515 or 63% from the administrative expenses of $356,121 for
the three months ended March 31, 2006.
Administration expenses of $365,271 for the six months ended March 31, 2007
decreased by $144,088 or 29% from the administrative expenses of $509,359 for
the six months ended March 2006.
Following is a comparative of the major expense categories for the three month
and six month periods ending March 31, 2007 and 2006.

The expense for administrative management and stock based compensation decreased
by $154,000 and $55,130 during the three months and six months ended March 31,
2007, respectively, as compared to the same periods ended March 31, 2006,
primarily because the Company reduced the number of management personnel during
2006.
The Company did not incur any costs for consulting, Nielsen Market Research,
payroll taxes, public relations, postage and shipping, Internet and supplies
during the three months and six months periods ending March 31, 2007 because the
it was not on the air during these periods.
Travel and conventions expenses decreased by $8,868 and $13,757, respectively
for the three and six months periods ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the
same periods in 2006 due to the Company not being on the air during these
periods in 2007 and to the Company's reduced travel related cost associated with
the minority ownership no longer being located in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The increase in accounting fees increased by $9,338 and $12,313 for the three
and six months periods ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period for
2006 was due primarily to the increase in cost associated with annual audits and
quarterly reviews associated with SEC filings.
29
Transfer agent and permit fees decreased by $1,113 and $2,986, respectively for
the three and six months periods ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same
periods in 2006 due to the Company not having the activity in the issuance of
stock certificates in the periods in 2007 as compared to 2006.
Rent and utilities expenses decreased by $14,931 and $26,293, respectively for
the three and six months periods ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same
periods in 2006 due to the Company not renewing the lease for production
facilities in 2007.
Telephone expense decreased by $9,422 and $11,509, respectively for the three
and six months periods ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same periods in
2006 due to the Company not being not on the air during these periods in 2007.
Other expense decreased by $11,628 and $8,819, respectively for the three and
six months periods ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same periods in 2006
due to the Company not being not on the air during these periods in 2007.
Operating Results:
Operating Results. We had a net operating losses of $199,879 and $555,548, for
the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The decreased loss
of $355,669 for 2007 was primarily attributed to the Company not being on the
air during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and reducing costs in all of
its operating expenses as shown above in the discussions of operating expenses
and administrative expenses.
The Company had operating losses for the six months ended March 31, 2007 and
2006 of $500,587 and $922,850, respectively. The decreased loss of $422,263 for
2007 was primarily attributed to the Company not being on the air during the six
months ended March 31, 2007 and reducing costs in all of its operating expenses
as shown above in the discussions of operating expenses and administrative
expenses.
EARNINGS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK. Income (loss) per common share is calculated
in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128,
"Earnings per Share." Basic Income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the
net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed similar to basic net income
(loss) per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number
of additional common shares that would have outstanding if the potential common
shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Stock
options and warrants are anti-dilutive, and accordingly, are not included in the
calculation of income (loss) per share. The basic and diluted net loss per share
of common stock was $0.01 and $0.01 for the three months March 31, 2007 and
2006, respectively. The basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock was
$0.01 and $0.01 for the six months March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We have financed our operations through a combination of loans from
stockholders, proceeds from convertible promissory notes and revenues generated
from operations. The Company has incurred cumulative losses of $25,331,327 from
the inception of the Company through March 31, 2007.
Current liabilities at March 31, 2007 were $3,178,086 which exceeded current
assets of $203,726 by $2,974,360. The Company's cash position at March 31, 2007
was $193, a decrease of $3,330 from the position at September 30, 2006. As
discussed below, the Company's ability to continue its growth will require
additional funds from various sources. If adequate funds are not available on
acceptable terms, our business, results of operations and financial condition
could be materially adversely affected. In a worse case scenario, we would have
to scale back or cease operations, and we might not be able to remain a viable
entity. Accrued compensation is the result of management deferring a portion of
their annual compensation until the Company has funds available.
30
The Company is experiencing liquidity needs resulting from an inability to
complete a structured financing with existing shareholders or new investors or a
strategic investment on acceptable terms to the company.
Due to the lack of necessary capital resources, the Company is not able to pay
for its satellite space and uplinking services which in turn results in the
Company not being able to transmit programming to an affiliate network. The
Company has laid-off its master control, production, programming and affiliate
relations employees while it seek financing.
The Company has made several concerted efforts to enlist support from its major
shareholder groups. However, notwithstanding significant commitment, these
efforts have been successful only in raising modest amounts to maintain marginal
operations. The Company is continuing to work with certain investors to help
meet immediate short-term liquidity needs estimated to be approximately $500
thousand and the funds to execute on its plan of developing an affiliate base of
predominately full power stations with associated Nielsen ratings which would
lead to advertising revenue from major corporations. As of May 9, 2007, the
Company had cash on hand of approximately $150 and as of March 31, 2007, a net
working capital deficit of $2,974,360. The Company has loan agreements with
"certain lenders" totaling approximately $500,000 secured by blanket liens upon
the Company's assets that matured in April 2006 and are now in default and as
described in the March 31, 2007 financial statements presented in this 10-QSB
report, one of the lenders (Westar Satellite Services, LP) has filed a lawsuit
against the Company for nonpayment of notes and contracts.
The total outstanding indebtedness as of May 9, 2007 is approximately
$3,390,000. The Company's ability to continue its operations and execute on its
business plan requires additional funds from various sources. If adequate funds
are not available on acceptable terms our business future as a viable entity is
in severe jeopardy.
Our continued growth, will require additional funds that may come from a variety
of sources, including the stock subscription agreement with R.J. Halden
Holdings, Inc., shareholder loans, equity or debt issuances, bank borrowings,
capital lease financings, and the sale of the Company's coal reserves, should
Geotec Thermal Generators, Inc., the seller, perform in accordance with the
Agreement and process, sell and remit the net proceeds to the Company. As
discussed in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company has
established an impairment reserve against the coal assets due to the Company not
having the financial ability to clean the coal and Geotec Thermal Generators,
Inc. declining to perform on the terms of the exchange agreement. Also the coal
reserves have related federal income tax credits resulting from the Super Fund
established by The Federal Government that can be sold to other companies at
such time as the coal is processed and sold. We currently intend to use any
funds raised through these sources to fund various aspects of our continued
growth, including paying past due notes payable, funding our working capital
needs, funding key programming acquisitions, funding sales and marketing,
securing cable connections, funding master control/ network equipment upgrades,
making strategic investments.
The Company's expects licensing agreements with program suppliers to be
generally for a term of 13 to 52 weeks and be cancelable by either party upon
thirty (30) days written notice. These license agreements will provide the
Company with a source of revenue by the Company's right to share in the
commercial spots during the programs. The Company's policy will be to recognize
the revenue associated with these sources of revenue at the time that it inserts
the advertising spots or airs the long-form program at the network or local
level. The cancelable feature of these license agreements could effect the
Company's source of revenue generation should a program be cancelled by a
licensor and the Company not be able to replace it within the 30 day notice of
cancellation period.
The Company's policy is to recognize the revenue associated with these sources
of revenue at the time that it inserts the short-form advertising spots or airs
the long-form program at the network or local level. As the Company continues to
grow, it will enter into new license agreements to replace existing licenses for
programs that do not fit into the Company's business model for a minority
focused television network. The cancelable feature of these license agreements
could
31
effect the Company's source of revenue generation should a program be cancelled
by a licensor and the Company not be able to replace it within the 30 day notice
of cancellation period.
In summary, until we generate sufficient cash from the sale of advertising
revenue, we will need to rely upon private and institutional sources of debt and
equity financing. We will require additional cash from the issuance of equity or
debt securities in the year ending September 30, 2007 to finance our ongoing
operations and strategic objectives. No assurances can be given that we will
successfully obtain liquidity sources necessary to fund our operations to
profitability and beyond.
Going Concern
Due to our continuing to be a development stage company and not having generated
revenues, in their Notes to our financial statements for the year ended
September 30, 2006, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph
regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further financing
and achieving a break even or profitable level of operations. The issuance of
additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the
equity interests of our current or future stockholders.
There are no assurances that we will be able to either (1) achieve a level of
revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations; or (2)
obtain additional financing through either private placements, public offerings
and/or bank financing necessary to support our working capital requirements. To
the extent that funds generated from operations and any private placements,
public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, we will have to raise
additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing
will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to us. If
adequate working capital is not available we may not increase our operations.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a
going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating
to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount
and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to
continue as a going concern.
Contractual Obligations
Future payments due on the Company's contractual obligations as of March 31,
2007 are as follows:
Total 2007 2008-2010
----- ---- ---------
Operating lease -office space $ 24,450 $ 24,450 --
Advances by shareholders 43,745 43,745 --
Loans from shareholders 401,580 250,000 151,580
Loans from vendors 75,000 75,000 --
Advances from non-related party 665,000 665,000 --
Contractual obligations 1,664,431 874,431 790,000
--------- ------- -------
Total $ 2,874,206 $1,932,626 $941,580
--------- --------- -------
We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our business or
operations.
We are not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements and do not engage in
trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts. In addition, we have
no financial guarantees, debt or lease agreements or other arrangements that
could trigger a requirement for an early payment or that could change the value
of our assets.
We had net losses $222,592 and $564,415 for the three months ended March 31,
2007 and 2006, respectively and $ 544,774 and $936,153 for the six months ended
March, 31 2007 and 2006, respectively. We expect these losses to continue as we
incur operating expenses in the growth of the Company's television network
32
and its affiliate base and convert them to an African-American and English
speaking Hispanic format. We are not anticipating that our revenues will be
sufficient to satisfy our operating expenses by the end of fiscal 2007. Thus, we
will need to raise additional funds from financing and equity sales. If adequate
funds are not available on acceptable terms, our business, results of operations
and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
Financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2007 include:
1) Issuance of 18,147,300 shares of common stock to R.J. Halden Holdings, Inc.
conversion of $200,000 in bridge loans to the Company.
2) Issuance of 10,000,000 shares of common stock to Circle R Media in Exchange
for the use of equipment, facilities and personnel at the Circle R Media
facilities in Fort Worth, Texas. The shares were valued at $.02 per share.
In addition common stock may also be issued for conversion or settlement of debt
and/or payables for equity, future obligations which may be satisfied by the
issuance of common shares, and other transactions and agreements which may in
the future result in the issuance of additional common shares. The common shares
that the Company may issue in the future could significantly increase the number
of shares outstanding and could be extremely dilutive.
RISK FACTORS
RISK FACTORS
We are subject to a high degree of risk as we are considered to be in unsound
financial condition. The following risks, if any one or more occurs, could
materially harm our business, financial condition or future results of
operations, and the trading price of our common stock could decline. These risks
factors include, but are not limited to, our limited operating history, history
of operating losses, the inability to obtain for additional capital, the failure
to successfully expand our operations, the competition in the television
industry from competitors with substantially greater resources, the legal and
regulatory requirements and uncertainties related to our industry, the inability
to enter into strategic partnerships with major advertisers, the loss of key
personnel, adverse economic conditions, the control of our common stock by our
management, the classification of our common stock as "penny stock," the absence
of any right to dividends, the costs associated with the issuance of and the
rights granted to additional securities, the unpredictability of the trading of
our common stock.
For a more detailed discussion as to the risks related to Urban Television
Network Corporation, our industry and our common stock, please see the section
entitled, "Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation - Risk
Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on January 16, 2007.
Impact of Inflation
Management does not believe that general inflation has had or will have a
material effect on operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations
are based on the financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. Note 2 of the Notes describes the
significant accounting policies essential to the financial statements. The
preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
We believe the following to be critical accounting policies and estimates. That
is, they are both important to the portrayal of the Company's financial
condition and results, and they require significant management judgment and
estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. As a result of inherent
33
uncertainty, there is a likelihood that materially different amounts would be
reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. Although we
believe that our judgments and estimates are reasonable, appropriate and
correct, actual future results may differ materially from our estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company anticipates that its sources of revenues will include the sale of
short-term national and local spot advertising and long-form program time slots.
The Company's policy is to recognize the revenue associated with these sources
of revenue at the time that it inserts the short-form advertising spots or airs
the long-form program at the network or local level.
Non Goodwill Intangible Assets
Intangible assets other than goodwill consist of network assets acquired by
purchase. They are being amortized over their expected lives of 5 years and are
reviewed for potential impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that
carrying amounts may not be recoverable. No impairment loss was recognized
during the reporting periods. On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets. This
provides that a recognized intangible shall be amortized over its useful life to
the reporting entity unless that life is determined to be indefinite. The amount
of an intangible asset to be amortized shall be the amount initially assigned to
that asset less any residual value.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees for services
based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued and accounts for equity
instruments issued to other than employees based on the fair value of the
consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments, whichever is
more reliably measurable. The determined value is recognized as an expense in
the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to certain claims and
legal proceedings. The Company records an accrued liability for these matters
when an adverse outcome is probable and the amount of the potential liability is
reasonably estimable. The Company does not believe that the resolution of these
matters will have a material effect upon its financial condition, results of
operations, or cash flows for an interim or annual period.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Recently issued accounting pronouncements and their effect on us are discussed
in the notes to the financial statements in our September 30, 2006 audited
financial statements.

Item 3. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Within the 90 days prior to the date of this Quarterly Report for the quarter
ended March 31, 2006, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and
with the participation of our management, including the Company's Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of
34
the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to
Rule 13a-4 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), which
disclosure controls and procedures are designed to insure that information
required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within required
time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or
our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and all
fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide
only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of a control
system are met. Further, any control system reflects limitations on resources,
and the benefits of a control system must be considered relative to its 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, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the
realities that judgments in 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 a control. The design of a control system
is also based upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events,
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. Although unlikely, due to the
inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to
error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.
Conclusions
Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and our president
concluded that, subject to the limitations noted above and as of the evaluation
date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the
information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under
the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported in such
reports within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commission's rules and forms.
(b) Changes in Internal Control.
Subsequent to the date of such evaluation as described in subparagraph (a)
above, there were no significant changes in our internal controls or other
factors that could significantly affect these controls, including any corrective
action with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
