material weakness in ICFR. There is a lack of separation of duties because the companys'
CFO has the ability to change passwords on employee's computer identification
numbers and has unlimited access to a computer terminal through which any
journal entry can be entered without approval and review.Management's evaluation
of ICFR is also as of 12/31, and management's report states that ICFR is not effective
due to the computer security problem causing the lack of separation of duties.

and Sons to submit to Cohen and Single LLP. The management representations letter
