NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, balance sheets as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, and statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. Accordingly, these statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements, and notes thereto, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited, consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, which, except for the tax adjustment described in Note 10, were of a normal, recurring nature, necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and the consolidated results of operations and of cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, and are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2009 presentation. Subsequent events have been evaluated through the time of the SEC filing on November 9, 2009, which represents the date the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements were issued.

Note 2 – Common Stock

The reconciliation of the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding utilized for the earnings per common share computations are as follows:

The Company had 35,129 common stock equivalents outstanding for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 which were not included in the common share computations for earnings (loss) per share as the common stock equivalents are anti-dilutive.

Note 3 – New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, which changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Enhanced disclosures are required to provide information about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. Adoption of the standard, effective January 1, 2009, did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, which amends existing guidance to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial statements for interim reporting periods as well as in annual financial statements. Adoption of the guidance, effective June 30, 2009, did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly”. It amends previous guidance and provides additional guidance for estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset and liability have significantly decreased, as well as provides guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. Adoption of the guidance, effective June 30, 2009, did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued, “Subsequent Events”, which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. The Company adopted the standard effective June 30, 2009.

In June 2009, the FASB issued “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. The standard establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP in the United States. The Company adopted the standard effective June 30, 2009.

Note 4 – Inventory

The major classes of inventory are as follows:

Note 5 – Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment consists of the following:

Note 6 – Long-Term Debt

On February 27, 2009, the Company entered into a new unsecured credit agreement with PNC Bank providing for a $12.0 million term loan (“Term Loan”) scheduled to mature on February 28, 2014 and a $15.0 million revolving credit facility with a term expiring on June 30, 2012. The Term Loan is being used to fund the capital expenditures for the Bridgeville melt shop upgrade. Accordingly, all of the $316,000 interest on the loan has been capitalized. There was no balance outstanding under the revolver at September 30, 2009 or December 31, 2008. Interest on both facilities is based on short-term market rates, which may be adjusted, based upon the Company maintaining certain financial ratios. PNC Bank also charges a commitment fee payable on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility of 0.25%, provided certain financial ratios are maintained. The Company is required to be in compliance with three financial covenants: a minimum leverage ratio, a minimum debt service ratio and a minimum tangible net worth. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants at September 30, 2009.

The Company maintains two separate loan agreements with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s Department of Commerce, aggregating to $600,000. A $200,000 15-year loan bears interest at 5% per annum with the term ending in 2011, and a $400,000 20-year loan bears interest at 6% per annum with the term ending in 2016. On February 14, 2002, Dunkirk Specialty Steel issued two ten-year, 5% interest-bearing notes payable to the New York Job Development Authority for the combined amount of $3.0 million. The remaining unpaid balance of these government loans was $1.1 million at September 30, 2009 and $1.4 million at December 31, 2008.

Note 7 – Derivatives and Hedging Activities

To manage interest rate risk, the Company has entered into an interest rate swap that effectively converts the floating-rate Term Loan into a fixed-rate debt instrument. The interest rate swap agreement minimizes the impact of interest rate changes on the Company’s floating-rate debt and is designated and accounted for as a cash flow hedge. The effective portion of the change in the fair value of the interest rate swap is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The Company utilizes the interest rate swap to maintain a fixed-rate of 4.515% on the Term Loan until its maturity on February 28, 2014. The notional amount of the interest rate swap decreases ratably over its term, as does the Term Loan, and was $12.0 million at September 30, 2009.

In July 2009, the Company entered into nickel futures contracts to minimize the price change impact of anticipated purchases of nickel over the life of a customer short-term supply agreement which is designated as and accounted for as a cash flow hedge. The effective portion of the change in the fair value of the nickel hedge agreements is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

The location and amounts recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for the derivative instrument are as follows:

Note 8 – Fair Value Measurements

The Company adopted “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” issued by the FASB. This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. It also defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy prescribed by the standard contains three levels as follows:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices available in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability

Level 3 —Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data and reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize management’s estimates of market participant assumptions.

The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. In instances where the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement has been determined based on the lowest level input significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular item to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, including the consideration of inputs specific to the asset or liability. The interest rate swap is recorded at fair value based on Level 2 quoted LIBOR swap rates adjusted for credit and non-performance risk. The nickel futures contracts are recorded at fair value based on Level 2 quoted futures rates.

Financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, short-term debt, other current liabilities and long-term debt. With the exception of long-term debt, the carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximated fair value at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 due to their short-term maturities. The $12 million Term Loan approximates fair value due to the interest rate being based on short-term Libor floating rates.

Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, various lawsuits and claims have been or may be asserted against the Company relating to the conduct of our business, including routine litigation involving commercial and employment matters. The ultimate cost and outcome of any litigation or claim cannot be predicted with certainty. Management believes, based on information presently available, that the likelihood that the ultimate outcome of any such pending matter will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, or liquidity or a material impact to the results of operations is remote, however the resolution of one or more of these matters may have a material adverse effect on the results of operations for the period in which the resolution occurs.

At September 30, 2009, the Company maintains reserves that it believes are adequate for outstanding product claims and legal actions.

Note 10 – Income Taxes

The tax rate used for interim periods is the estimated annual effective tax rate, based on the current estimate of full year results, except that taxes related to specific events, if any, are recorded in the interim period in which they occur.

The Company accelerated the preparation of its 2008 federal and state income tax returns in order to receive the anticipated refunds earlier in 2009. As a result, the Company recorded a $742,000 negative tax adjustment primarily for the reconciliation of tax balances at June 30, 2009 to the tax returns. Approximately $200,000 of this adjustment is the cumulative adjustment related to the reduction of the estimated annual effective income tax rate utilized in the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 from 40.3% to 37.2% at June 30, 2009. In addition, the Company has determined that $370,000 of this adjustment relates to prior periods and is not considered material to any prior period or the current year to require the restatement of prior period financial statements. The effective tax rate, which includes a final return-to-provision adjustment of $8,000, was 38.7% and 26.5% for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009, respectively, and compares to an effective income tax rate in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 of 28.1% and 32.0%, respectively. The effective income rate in the current period reflects a projected net operating loss and benefits related to federal and state loss carry backs and carry forwards, whereas the prior year had taxable income and benefited from the domestic manufacturing deduction and investment tax credits generated from capital improvements made at the Dunkirk facility in 2008.

The Universal Stainless & Alloy Products manufacturing process involves melting, remelting, treating and hot and cold rolling of semi-finished and finished specialty steels. Dunkirk Specialty Steel’s manufacturing process involves hot rolling and finishing of specialty steel bar, rod and wire products. The segment data are as follows:

Results of Operations

The Company recorded net income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009 of $312,000 and a net loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 of $3.9 million. The 2009 nine-month results includes a $742,000 negative tax adjustment primarily for the reconciliation of tax balances at June 30, 2009 to the 2008 tax returns prepared during the three-month period ended June 30, 2009 and the following unusual charges (totaling $6.0 million pre-tax) recorded during the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, primarily due to the deepening recession and economic uncertainty:

An analysis of the Company’s operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 is as follows:

Market Segment Information

Three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the similar periods in 2008

Net sales for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 decreased $32.4 million and $79.7 million, respectively, as compared to the similar periods in 2008. The decrease for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 is primarily due to the decline in consolidated tons shipped of 49% and 35%, respectively, and lower surcharges. In addition, the Company sold excess scrap that generated $1.1 million of revenues during each of the three-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008. The decline in shipments, which impacted each of the Company’s end markets, is attributed to the impact of general economic conditions and the resultant destocking activities within the service center industry. Lower raw material surcharges were recognized as a result of lower raw material prices experienced during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 in comparison to the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008.

Cost of products sold, as a percentage of net sales, was 89.3% and 88.6% for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and was 96.2% and 84.8% for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Cost of products sold for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 include $3.9 million of the unusual charges outlined above, representing 4.0% of net sales. The remaining increase is primarily due to higher operation costs resulting from lower production volumes.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased by $594,000 in the three-month period ended September 30, 2009 and increased by $540,000 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the similar periods in 2008. The increased cost in the nine-month period primarily relates to $2.1 million of the unusual charges outlined above. These costs were partially offset by a $1.2 million decrease in labor costs, of which $478,000 was recognized in the three-month period September 30, 2009, primarily resulting from a 20% workforce reduction enacted in March 2009 and a reduction in the accrual for incentive compensation.

The Company accelerated the preparation of its 2008 federal and state income tax returns in order to receive the anticipated refunds earlier in 2009. As a result, the Company recorded a $742,000 negative tax adjustment primarily for the reconciliation of tax balances at June 30, 2009 to the tax returns. Approximately $200,000 of this adjustment is the cumulative adjustment related to the reduction of the estimated annual effective income tax rate utilized in the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 from 40.3% to 37.2% at

June 30, 2009. In addition, the Company has determined that $370,000 of this adjustment relates to prior periods and is not considered material to any prior period or the current year to require the restatement of prior period financial statements. The revised tax rate of 37.2% compares to an effective income tax rate in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 of 28.1% and 32.0%, respectively. The effective income tax rate in the current period reflects a projected net operating loss and benefits related to federal and state loss carry backs and carry forwards, whereas the prior year had taxable income and benefited from the domestic manufacturing deduction and investment tax credits generated from capital improvements made at the Dunkirk facility in 2008.

Business Segment Results

An analysis of net sales and operating income for the reportable segments for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 is as follows:

Universal Stainless & Alloy Products Segment

Net sales for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 for this segment, which consists of the Bridgeville and Titusville facilities, decreased by $30.6 million, or 58.5%, in comparison to the three-month period ended September 30, 2008 and by $68.3 million, or 44.5%, in comparison to the similar 2008 nine-month period. Tons shipped declined 49% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009 in comparison to the similar 2008 period. Tons shipped declined 33% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 in comparison to the similar 2008 period. The decline in shipments, which impacted each of the segment’s end markets, is attributed to the impact of general economic conditions and the resultant destocking activities within the service center industry. Lower raw material surcharges were recognized as a result of lower raw material prices experienced during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 in comparison to the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008. In addition, the Company sold excess scrap that generated $1.1 million of other revenues during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008.

Operating income decreased by $3.2 million, or 98.2%, for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009 as compared to September 30, 2008 and by $16.7 million, or 121.0%, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 in comparison to the similar 2008 nine-month period. The results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 include $5.0 million of the unusual charges outlined above, representing 5.8% of net sales. Excluding the impact of the unusual charges, material costs, as a percentage of sales, dropped from 58.8% and 53.9% for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008, respectively, to 41.5% and 43.9% for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009, respectively. This improvement is directly related to a better alignment of material costs and related surcharges assessed and yield improvements recognized on 2009 shipments of semi-finished products. Operation costs, as a percentage of sales, increased to 51.0% and 48.1% for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009, respectively, from 31.2% and 33.2% for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008, respectively. These increases are primarily due to lower production volumes.

Table of Contents

Dunkirk Specialty Steel Segment

Net sales for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 decreased by $8.5 million, or 49.9%, in comparison to the three-month period ended September 30, 2008 and by $28.1 million, or 48.3%, in comparison to the similar 2008 nine-month period. Tons shipped decreased 33% and 30%, respectively, for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 in comparison to the similar 2008 periods. The decline in shipments, which impacted each of the segment’s end markets, is attributed to the impact of general economic conditions and the resultant destocking activities within the service center industry. Lower raw material surcharges were recognized as a result of lower raw material prices experienced during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 in comparison to the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009.

Operating income increased by $569,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009 as compared to September 30, 2008. This improvement is directly related to a better alignment of material costs and related surcharges assessed, yield improvements and a $211,000 reduction in selling and administrative expenses. Operating income decreased by $7.2 million, resulting in a loss of $2.5 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 in comparison to the similar 2008 nine-month period. The results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 include $1.0 million of the unusual charges outlined above, representing 3.2% of net sales. Excluding the impact of the unusual charges, material costs, as a percentage of sales, were 62.9% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 in comparison to 62.2% for the similar 2008 period. Operation costs, as a percentage of sales, increased to 33.7% and 34.7% for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009, respectively, from 29.4% and 25.1% for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008, respectively. These increases are primarily due to lower production volumes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has financed its operating activities through cash on hand at the beginning of the period, cash provided by operations and borrowings. At September 30, 2009, working capital approximated $97.1 million as compared to $94.8 million at December 31, 2008. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in cash resulting from the receipt of a $12 million five-year term loan from PNC Bank (“Term Loan”) to fund its Melt Shop investment, of which $8.2 million has been expended to date. In addition, a significant portion of the $25.3 million reduction in managed working capital, defined as accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable, has been converted to cash at September 30, 2009. Accounts receivable decreased $15.3 million as a result of decreased sales for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009 in comparison to the three-month period ended December 31, 2008 and a $1.9 million increase in the bad debt reserve, partially offset by customers extending payment terms to preserve cash due to economic conditions. The $20.7 million decrease in inventory is primarily due to the shipment of higher cost material, a 38% reduction in the quantity of work-in-process inventory, lower material values and the impact of curtailing operations to match the reduction in the Company’s backlog, which decreased from $75 million at December 31, 2008 to $33 million at September 30, 2009. The $12.5 million decrease in accounts payable is also related to lower material values and the impact of curtailing operations. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities increased to 8.9:1 at September 30, 2009 from 4.9:1 at December 31, 2008. The debt to total capitalization ratio increased from 1.0% at December 31, 2008 to 8.4% at September 30, 2009 due to acquisition of the Term Loan.

Table of Contents

Cash received from sales of $29.5 million and $113.9 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and of $58.4 million and $170.8 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 represent the primary source of cash from operations. An analysis of the primary uses of cash is as follows:

Cash used in raw material purchases decreased in 2009 in comparison to 2008 primarily due to a reduction in the quantity of purchased materials due to curtailing operations and by lower unit transaction costs. The Company continuously monitors market price fluctuations of its key raw materials. The following table reflects the average market value per pound for selected months during the last 18-month period.

The market values for these raw materials and others continue to fluctuate based on supply and demand, market disruptions and other factors. The Company maintains sales price surcharge mechanisms, priced at time of shipment, to mitigate the risk of substantial raw material cost fluctuations. There can be no assurance that these sales price adjustments will completely offset the Company’s raw material and energy costs.

Decreased employment costs are primarily due to lower production volumes and decreased payout under the Company’s profit sharing plan, which were partially offset by higher employee-related insurance costs. Lower utility costs are primarily due to reduced consumption of electricity resulting from decreased production volumes. The decrease in other uses of cash, the majority of which is cash for outside conversion services, plant maintenance and production supplies, is directly attributable to lower production volumes. In addition, the Company received a refund related to its 2008 federal income tax return during the three-month period ended September 30, 2009 of $1.4 million. As a result, other uses of cash reflects a net receipt of $1.3 million for income taxes for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 in comparison to net payments of $5.9 million from the same period in 2008.

The Company had capital expenditures for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 of $10.3 million compared with $9.6 million for the same period in 2008. $8.2 million of the 2009 expenditures relate to the Bridgeville melt shop upgrade. The 2008 expenditures were primarily for Bridgeville plant improvements and construction of a high-temperature annealing furnace in Dunkirk.

On February 27, 2009, the Company entered into a new unsecured credit agreement with PNC Bank which provides for a $12.0 million Term Loan scheduled to mature on February 28, 2014 and a $15.0 million revolving credit facility with the term expiring June 30, 2012. The Term Loan is being used to fund the capital expenditures for the melt shop upgrade. Accordingly, all of the $316,000 interest on the loan has been capitalized. At September 30, 2009, the Company had all of its $15.0 million revolving line of credit with PNC Bank available for borrowings. The Company is in compliance with its covenants as of September 30, 2009.

The Company also executed an interest rate swap with PNC Bank, with a notional amount of $12.0 million, to convert the LIBOR floating rate under the Term Loan to a fixed interest rate for the life of the loan. Under the agreement, the Company’s interest rate is effectively fixed at 4.515%. The Company recorded a liability of $189,000, equal to the fair market value of the swap agreement at September 30, 2009. The change in fair market value, net of tax, is reported as other comprehensive loss within stockholders’ equity.

In July 2009, the Company entered into nickel futures contracts to minimize the price change impact of anticipated purchases of nickel over the life of a customer short-term supply agreement which is designated as and accounted for as a cash flow hedge. The effective portion of the change in the fair value of the nickel futures contracts is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

The Company does not maintain off-balance sheet arrangements other than operating leases and the cash flow hedges, nor does it participate in material related-party transaction arrangements or non-exchange traded contracts requiring fair value accounting treatment, other than the cash flow hedges.

The Company anticipates that it will fund its 2009 working capital requirements and its capital expenditures primarily from funds generated from operations and the Term Loan. Financing of the Company’s long-term liquidity requirements, including capital expenditures, is expected from a combination of internally generated funds, borrowings, stock issuance or other sources of external financing, if needed.

Critical Accounting Policies

Revenue recognition is the most critical accounting policy of the Company. Revenue from the sale of products is recognized when both risk of loss and title have transferred to the customer, which in most cases coincides with shipment of the related products, and collection is reasonably assured. The Company manufactures specialty steel product to customer purchase order specifications and in recognition of requirements for product acceptance. Material certification forms are executed, indicating compliance with the customer purchase orders, before the specialty steel products are packed and shipped to the customer. Occasionally customers request that the packed products be held at the Company’s facility beyond the stated shipment date. In these situations, the Company receives written confirmation of the request, acknowledgement that title has passed to the customer and that normal payment terms apply. The impact on revenue was less than 1% of net sales in each period presented.

Revenue from conversion services is recognized when the performance of the service is complete. Invoiced shipping and handling costs are also accounted for as revenue. Customer claims are accounted for primarily as a reduction to gross sales after the matter has been researched and an acceptable resolution has been reached.

In addition, management constantly monitors the ability to collect its unpaid sales invoices and the valuation of its inventory. The allowance for doubtful accounts includes specific reserves for the value of outstanding invoices issued to customers currently operating under the protection of the federal bankruptcy law and other amounts that are deemed potentially not collectible along with a reserve equal to 15% of 90-day or older balances not specifically reserved. However, the total reserve will not be less than 1% of trade accounts receivable. An inventory reserve is provided for material on hand for which management believes cost exceeds fair market value and for material on hand for more than one year not assigned to a specific customer order.

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment annually by each operating facility. An impairment write-down will be recognized whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable through estimated future undiscounted cash flows.

Based on management’s assessment of the carrying values of such long-lived assets, no impairment reserve had been deemed necessary as of September 30, 2009 and 2008. Retirements and disposals are removed from cost and accumulated depreciation accounts, with the gain or loss reflected in operating income.

In addition, management assesses the need to record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company believes it will generate sufficient income in addition to taxable income generated from the reversal of its temporary differences to utilize the deferred tax assets recorded at September 30, 2009.

The Company has reviewed the status of its market risk and believes there are no significant changes from that disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, except as provided in this Form 10-Q in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

The Company’s management, including the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and the Vice President of Finance, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and the Vice President of Finance, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in the timely identification of material information required to be included in the Company’s periodic filings with the SEC. During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
