</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;AMERISAFE, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) is an insurance holding company incorporated in the state of
Texas. Based on voting shares, the Company is 40.7% owned by Welsh, Carson, Anderson and Stowe VII
L.P. and its affiliate, WCAS Healthcare Partners, L.P. The accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries:
American Interstate Insurance Company (&#147;AIIC&#148;), Silver Oak Casualty, Inc. (&#147;SOCI&#148;), American
Interstate Insurance Company of Texas (&#147;AIICTX&#148;), Amerisafe Risk Services, Inc. (&#147;RISK&#148;) and
Amerisafe General Agency, Inc. (&#147;AGAI&#148;). AIIC and SOCI are property and casualty insurance
companies organized under the laws of the state of Louisiana. AIICTX is a property and casualty
insurance company organized under the laws of the state of Texas. RISK, a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company, is a claims and safety service company servicing only affiliate insurance
companies. AGAI, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is a general agent for the Company. AGAI
sells insurance, which is underwritten by AIIC, SOCI and AIICTX, as well as by nonaffiliated
insurance carriers. The assets and operations of AGAI are not significant to that of the Company
and its consolidated subsidiaries. The terms &#147;AMERISAFE,&#148; the &#147;Company,&#148; &#147;we,&#148; &#147;us,&#148; or &#147;our&#148; refer
to AMERISAFE, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, as the context requires.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company provides workers&#146; compensation and general liability insurance for small to
mid-sized employers engaged in hazardous industries, principally construction, trucking and
logging. Assets and revenues of AIIC represent more than 99% of comparable consolidated amounts of
the Company for each of 2006 and 2005.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the opinion of the management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
necessary to present fairly the financial position, the results of operations and cash flows for
the periods presented. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and
therefore do not include all information and footnotes to be in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States (&#147;GAAP&#148;). The results for the interim periods
are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year. The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in
conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2005.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In connection with the initial public offering of shares of the Company&#146;s common stock in
November&nbsp;2005, the Company&#146;s shareholders approved the AMERISAFE 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the
&#147;2005 Incentive Plan&#148;) and the AMERISAFE 2005 Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Plan (the
&#147;2005 Restricted Stock Plan&#148;). See Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements included in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2005 for additional information
regarding the Company&#146;s incentive plans.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On March&nbsp;10, 2006, the compensation committee of the board approved incentive compensation
awards to each of the Company&#146;s executive officers for services rendered in 2005. The awards were
composed of cash bonuses and grants of restricted common stock. The restricted stock awards were
made pursuant to the Company&#146;s 2005 Incentive Plan, and will vest on the first anniversary of the
date of grant. The fair value of the restricted stock granted was $170,000.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In accordance with the terms of the Company&#146;s 2005 Restricted Stock Plan, the 3,332 shares of
restricted common stock issued to non-employee directors on November&nbsp;17, 2005 vested on May&nbsp;15,
2006, the date of the first annual shareholders&#146; meeting after the issuance of the restricted
common stock. On May&nbsp;15, 2006, the Company issued an additional 6,110 shares of restricted common
stock to non-employee directors pursuant to the 2005 Restricted Stock Plan. These shares will vest
on the date of the annual shareholders&#146; meeting to be held in 2007. The fair value of the
restricted stock issued on May&nbsp;15, 2006 was $75,000.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In September&nbsp;2006, the Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares of
the Company&#146;s common stock at a per-share exercise price equal to the fair market value of the
Company&#146;s common stock on the date of grant in connection with the employment of two new executive
officers.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For the three and nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2006, we recognized stock-based compensation
expense of $193,000 and $651,000 related to options granted under the 2005 Incentive Plan and
restricted stock issued under the 2005 Restricted Stock Plan. No stock-based compensation expense
was recorded in the comparable prior year periods.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Note 3. Earnings Per Share</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We compute earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No.&nbsp;128, &#147;Earnings per Share.&#148;
Additionally, we apply the &#147;two-class method&#148; in computing basic and diluted earnings per share.
The two-class method was introduced in SFAS 128, and further clarified in Emerging Issues Task
Force (EITF)&nbsp;No.&nbsp;03-06, &#147;Participating Securities and the Two-Class&nbsp;Method under FASB Statement No.
128, Earnings Per Share, (Issue 03-6).&#148; Under the two-class method, net income is allocated
between common stock and any securities other than common stock that participate in dividends with
common stock. Our redeemable preferred stock qualifies as &#147;participating securities&#148; under SFAS
128 and EITF 03-06.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The two-class method allocates net income available to common shareholders and participating
securities to the extent that each security shares in earnings as if all earnings for the period
had been distributed. The amount of earnings allocable to common shareholders is divided by the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Participating securities that
are convertible into common stock are included in the computation of basic earnings per share if
the effect is dilutive.

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Diluted earnings per share includes potential common shares assumed issued under the &#147;treasury
stock method,&#148; which reflects the potential dilution that would occur if any outstanding options
are exercised. Diluted earnings per share also includes the &#147;if converted&#148; method for
participating securities if the result is dilutive. The two-class method of calculating diluted
earnings per share is used whether the &#147;if converted&#148; result is dilutive or anti-dilutive.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Business Overview</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;AMERISAFE is a holding company that markets and underwrites workers&#146; compensation insurance
through its subsidiaries. Workers&#146; compensation insurance covers statutorily prescribed benefits
that employers are obligated to provide to their employees who are injured in the course and scope
of their employment. Our business strategy is focused on providing this coverage to small to
mid-sized employers engaged in hazardous industries, principally construction, trucking and
logging. Employers engaged in hazardous industries pay substantially higher than average rates for
workers&#146; compensation insurance compared to employers in other industries, as measured per payroll
dollar. The higher premium rates are due to the nature of the work performed and the inherent
workplace danger of our target employers. Hazardous industry employers also tend to have less
frequent but more severe claims as compared to employers in other industries due to the nature of
their businesses. We provide proactive safety reviews of employers&#146; workplaces. These safety
reviews are a vital component of our underwriting process and also promote safer workplaces. We
utilize intensive claims management practices that we believe permit us to reduce the overall cost
of our claims. In addition, our audit services ensure that our policyholders pay the appropriate
premiums required under the terms of their policies and enable us to monitor payroll patterns or
aberrations that cause underwriting, safety or fraud concerns. We believe that the higher premiums
typically paid by our policyholders, together with our disciplined underwriting and safety, claims
and audit services, provide us with the opportunity to earn attractive returns on equity.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We market our insurance in 26 states and the District of Columbia through independent
agencies, as well as through our wholly owned insurance agency subsidiary. We are also licensed in
an additional 19 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Critical Accounting Policies</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It is important to understand our accounting policies in order to understand our financial
statements. Management considers some of these policies to be critically important to the
presentation of our financial results because they require us to make estimates and assumptions.
These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues
and expenses and the related disclosures. Some of the estimates result from judgments that can be
subjective and complex and, consequently, actual results in future periods might differ from these
estimates.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Management believes that the most critical accounting policies relate to the reporting of
reserves for loss and loss adjustment expenses, including losses that have occurred but have not
been reported prior to the reporting date, amounts recoverable from reinsurers, assessments,
deferred policy acquisition costs, deferred income taxes and the impairment of investment
securities. These critical accounting policies are more fully described in Item&nbsp;7, &#147;Management&#146;s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations&#148; of Part&nbsp;II to our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2005.

were $83.0&nbsp;million, compared to $70.7&nbsp;million for the same period in 2005, an increase of 17.4%.
The increase was attributable to a $6.5&nbsp;million increase in annual premiums on voluntary policies
written during the period and a $7.1&nbsp;million increase in premiums resulting from payroll audits and
related premium adjustments. These increases were offset by an $826,000 decrease in direct

arrangements.

$78.1&nbsp;million, compared to $65.4&nbsp;million for the same period in 2005, an increase of 19.3%. The
increase was attributable to the growth in gross premiums written and a $339,000 decrease in
premiums ceded to reinsurers for the third quarter of 2006, as compared to the prior-year period.
As a percentage of gross premiums written, ceded premiums were 5.9% for the third quarter of 2006,

$75.0&nbsp;million, compared to $64.3&nbsp;million for the same period in 2005, an increase of 16.6%. The

attributable to a 36.2% increase in our investment portfolio, including cash and cash equivalents,

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Net Realized Gains on Investments</I>. Net realized gains on investments for the three months
ended September&nbsp;30, 2006 totaled $346,000, compared to $563,000 for the same period in 2005. The
decrease was attributable to the recognition of $1.3&nbsp;million of unrealized losses on equity
securities in our investment portfolio pursuant to a strategic assessment of our investment
guidelines as discussed below under &#147;&#151;Investment Portfolio.&#148;

the same period in 2005, an increase of $6.6&nbsp;million, or 14.5%. The increase resulted from
increased net premiums earned in the third quarter of 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005.
We experienced no adverse prior accident year development in either third quarter of 2006 or third

Underwriting and certain other operating costs, commissions and salaries and benefits for the third
quarter of 2006 were $18.2&nbsp;million, compared to $16.8&nbsp;million for the same period in 2005, an
increase of 8.1%. This increase was partially due to an $883,000 increase in premium-based
assessments; an $878,000 increase in commissions attributable to the increase in gross premiums
written; and a $275,000 increase in salary and benefits resulting partially from a $193,000
increase in salary expense attributable to share-based compensation. Offsetting these increases
was a decrease of $1.4&nbsp;million in loss-based assessments. This decrease was related to assessments
accrued in the third quarter of 2005 for the State of South Carolina.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Interest Expense</I>. Interest expense for the third quarter of 2006 was $923,000, compared to

$36.1&nbsp;million. The weighted average interest rate increased to 9.4% per annum for the third quarter
of 2006 from 7.6% per annum for the third quarter of 2005.

attributable primarily to the increase in pre-tax income, from $6.5&nbsp;million in the third quarter of
2005, to $10.8&nbsp;million in the third quarter of 2006.

The increase was attributable primarily to a $20.2&nbsp;million increase in annual premiums on voluntary

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Net Investment Income</I>. Net investment income for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2006 was
$18.1million, compared to $12.0&nbsp;million for the same period in 2005, an increase of 51.3%. The
change was attributable to a 37.6% increase in our investment portfolio, including cash and cash
equivalents, from an average of $444.2&nbsp;million in the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2005 to an
average of $611.2&nbsp;million for the same period of 2006. Also contributing to this growth was an
increase in the pre-tax investment yield on our investment portfolio, from 3.6% per annum for the
nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2005, to 4.0% per annum for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30,
2006.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Net Realized Gains on Investments</I>. Net realized gains on investments for the nine months
ended September&nbsp;30, 2006 totaled $2.6&nbsp;million, compared to $1.3&nbsp;million for the same period in
2005. The increase was attributable to the timing of the sale of equity securities offset by the
recognition of $1.3&nbsp;million of unrealized losses on equity securities in our investment portfolio
pursuant to a strategic assessment of our investment guidelines as discussed below under
&#147;&#151;Investment Portfolio.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Loss and Loss Adjustment Expenses Incurred</I>. Loss and loss adjustment expenses (LAE)&nbsp;incurred
totaled $150.0&nbsp;million for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2006, compared to $155.6&nbsp;million for
the same period in 2005, a decrease of $5.6&nbsp;million, or 3.6%. The decrease was the result of $21.9
million in additional prior accident year reserves recorded in the second quarter of 2005, which
amount included $13.2&nbsp;million related to the commutation of certain reinsurance contracts. We
experienced no adverse prior accident year development in the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2006.
The decrease in loss and LAE incurred resulting from additional prior accident year reserves
recorded in 2005 was partially offset by an increase in loss and LAE incurred resulting from
increased net premiums earned in the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2006 as compared to the same
period in 2005.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Underwriting and Certain Other Operating Costs, Commissions and Salaries and Benefits</I>.
Underwriting and certain other operating costs, commissions and salaries and benefits for the nine
months ended September&nbsp;30, 2006 were $52.7&nbsp;million, compared to $46.4&nbsp;million for the same period
in 2005, an increase of 13.6%. This increase was partially due to a $1.9&nbsp;million increase in
commissions; a $1.4&nbsp;million increase in salaries and benefits, which included a $651,000 increase
in salary expense attributable to share-based compensation; a $1.4&nbsp;million increase in
premium-based assessments, which resulted from growth in our gross premiums earned in 2006; a $1.1
million increase in deferred policy acquisition costs; and a $969,000 increase in professional fees
attributable to Sarbanes Oxley compliance and expenses associated with effecting a registered
offering of our common stock on behalf of certain of our shareholders. Offsetting these increases
was a $1.4&nbsp;million increase in ceding commissions from reinsurers, which acts to reduce
underwriting expenses.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Interest Expense</I>. Interest expense for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2006 was $2.6
million, compared to $2.1&nbsp;million for the comparable period of 2005. Our weighted average
borrowings for both periods were $36.1&nbsp;million. The weighted average interest rate increased to
8.7% per annum for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2006 from 7.0% per annum for the same period
of 2005.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Income Tax Expense (Benefit)</I>. Income tax expense for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2006
was $7.0&nbsp;million, compared to a tax benefit $2.0&nbsp;million for the same period in 2005. The increase
in tax expense was attributable to $30.4&nbsp;million of pre-tax income for the nine months ended
September&nbsp;30, 2006, compared to a $1.4&nbsp;million pre-tax loss for the same period in 2005. This
increase was offset by a $571,000 decrease in a tax accrual related to the resolution of prior year
taxes.

2005 and claim payments decreased by $1.8&nbsp;million. This increase was offset by an $11.9&nbsp;million
reduction in recoveries from reinsurers, a $13.0&nbsp;million increase in federal income taxes paid, and
a $3.7&nbsp;million increase in expense disbursements. In addition, we received $61.3&nbsp;million for the
commutation of certain reinsurance contracts in the third quarter of 2005.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As discussed in Note 4 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included
in this report, on September&nbsp;26, 2006, we filed a registration statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission to permit certain shareholders to sell shares of common stock in an
underwritten public offering pursuant to a registration rights agreement with the selling
shareholders. Under the terms of the registration rights agreement, we are obligated to pay the
expenses associated with this offering, other than underwriting discounts and commissions. We
presently expect to incur pre-tax expenses of approximately $1.1&nbsp;million in connection with this
offering, of which $303,000 was expensed in the third quarter of 2006.

30, 2006, compared to $106.0&nbsp;million for the same period in 2005. The decrease was attributable to
the $61.3&nbsp;million received in the third quarter of 2005 related to the commutation of certain
reinsurance contracts.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We regularly evaluate our investment portfolio to identify other-than-temporary impairments in
the fair values of the securities held in our investment portfolio. As of September&nbsp;30, 2006,
there were no other-than-temporary declines in the fair values of the securities held in our
investment portfolio. The tax-equivalent investment yield on our investment portfolio was 5.4% per annum as of September 30, 2006.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In 2006, we began a strategic review of our investment management and related policies. As a
result of this review, we have revised our investment guidelines. Under our revised guidelines,
the market value of the equity securities in our investment portfolio will range from 20% and 30%
of shareholders&#146; equity, plus redeemable preferred stock, at the end of the most recently completed
fiscal year. Under our prior investment guidelines, the portion of our investment portfolio
invested in equity securities was limited to 12% of the carrying value and 15% of the market value
of the total portfolio. As a result of the changes in our investment guidelines, we expect to hold
a smaller percentage of our investment portfolio in equity securities. In anticipation of the
change in our investment guidelines, we sold all equity securities in our investment portfolio.
These sales began in the third quarter and were completed in the fourth quarter of 2006. As a
result of our intention to sell all of our equity securities, we recognized $1.3&nbsp;million of
unrealized losses on equity securities held as of September&nbsp;30, 2006. We will record a net
realized gain in the fourth quarter of 2006 resulting from this sale of the remaining equity
securities.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In connection with the review of our investment guidelines, we have retained Prudential
Investment Management, Inc., a registered investment advisory firm and a wholly owned subsidiary of
Prudential Financial Inc. to manage our portfolio of fixed maturity securities effective November
1, 2006.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As described above,
we presently intend to reposition the equity portion of our investment portfolio to consist of a combination
of exchange-traded index funds and an externally managed portfolio of individual equity securities.
To achieve this repositioning, we have purchased approximately $21.0 million of value-oriented,
equity index funds.  Until such time as a new equity portfolio manager is appointed, we may purchase
additional equity index funds to bring the percentage of our total portfolio invested in equity securities
within our current investment guidelines.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Market risk is the risk of potential economic loss principally arising from adverse changes in
the fair value of financial instruments. The major components of market risk affecting us are
credit risk, interest rate risk and equity price risk. We currently have no exposure to foreign
currency risk.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As described above in Item&nbsp;2. &#147;Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations&#151;Investment Portfolio,&#148; in the third quarter of 2006, we revised our
investment guidelines related to equity securities. Under our revised guidelines, the market value
of the equity securities in our investment portfolio will range from 20% and 30% of shareholders&#146;
equity, plus redeemable preferred stock, at the end of the most recently completed fiscal year. As
a result of the changes in our investment guidelines, we expect to hold a smaller percentage of our
investment portfolio in equity securities. In anticipation of the change in our investment
guidelines, we sold all equity securities in our investment portfolio. These sales began in the
third quarter and were completed in the fourth quarter of 2006. We will appoint a new equity
portfolio manager in the fourth quarter of 2006.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As described above,
we have invested approximately $21.0 million in value-oriented, exchange-traded index funds.  Until a new
equity portfolio manager is appointed, we may invest additional funds in value-oriented, equity index funds
to bring the portion of our total investment portfolio invested in equity securities within our current
investment guidelines.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For additional information regarding the Company&#146;s exposure to certain market risks, see Item
7A. &#147;&#151;Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk&#148; in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended December&nbsp;31, 2005, as filed with the SEC.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Item&nbsp;4. Controls and Procedures.</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief
executive officer and chief financial officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule&nbsp;13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the &#147;Exchange Act&#148;)) as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that
our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this
report to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that
are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the rules and forms specified by the SEC. We note that the
design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of
future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving the stated
goals under all potential future conditions.

affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant&#146;s internal control
over financial reporting; and
