COMMUNITY CENTRAL BANK CORPORATION FORM 10-K (continued) DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This report contains forward-looking statements throughout that are based on management's beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections about the financial services industry, the economy, and about the Corporation and the Bank. Words such as anticipates, believes, estimates, expects, forecasts, intends, is likely, plans, projects, variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are intended to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence. Actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what may be expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements. The Corporation undertakes no obligation to update, amend, or clarify forward looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events (whether anticipated or unanticipated), or otherwise. Future factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated or projected include, but are not limited to, the following: expected cost savings and synergies from our acquisition activities might not be realized within the expected time frames, and costs or difficulties related to integration matters might be greater than expected; expenses associated with the implementation of our trust and wealth management services might be greater than expected, whether due to a possible need to hire more employees than anticipated or other costs incurred in excess of budgeted amounts; the credit risks of lending activities, including changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and write-offs and changes in estimates of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses; competitive pressures among depository institutions; interest rate movements and their impact on customer behavior and net interest margin; the impact of repricing and competitor's pricing initiatives on loan and deposit products; the ability to adapt successfully to technological changes to meet customers' needs and development in the market place; our ability to access cost-effective funding; changes in financial markets; changes in economic conditions in general and particularly as related to the automotive and related industries in the Detroit metropolitan area; new legislation or regulatory changes, including but not limited to changes in federal and/or state tax laws or interpretations thereof by taxing authorities; changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines; and our future acquisitions of other depository institutions or lines of business. 2 COMMUNITY CENTRAL BANK CORPORATION FORM 10-K (continued) PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS Community Central Bank Corporation is the holding company for Community Central Bank (the "Bank") in Mount Clemens, Michigan. The Bank opened for business in October 1996 and serves businesses and consumers across Macomb, Oakland, St. Clair and Wayne counties with a full range of lending, deposit, trust, wealth management, and Internet banking services. The Bank operates three full service facilities, in Mount Clemens, Rochester Hills and Grosse Pointe, Michigan. Community Central Mortgage Company, LLC, a subsidiary of the Corporation and the Bank, operates locations servicing the Detroit metropolitan area and northwest Indiana. River Place Trust and Community Central Wealth Management are divisions of Community Central Bank. Community Central Insurance Agency, LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Community Central Bank. The Corporation is subject to regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The Bank is subject to extensive regulation by the Michigan Office of Financial and Insurance Services ("OFIS") and by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). The Bank's deposits are insured up to the applicable limits by the FDIC. (See "-Regulation and Supervision" below.) The Corporation's common shares trade on The NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol "CCBD." Our results of operations depend largely on net interest income. Net interest income is the difference in the interest income we earn on interest-earning assets, which comprise primarily commercial and residential real estate loans, and to a lesser extent commercial business and consumers loans, and the interest we pay on interest-bearing liabilities, which are primarily deposits and borrowings. Management strives to match the repricing characteristics of the interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities to protect net interest income from changes in market interest rates and changes in the shape of the yield curve. Our results of operations may also be affected by local and general economic conditions. The largest geographic segment of our customer base is in Macomb County, Michigan. The economic base of the County continues to diversify from the automotive service sector although the impact of the restructuring of the American automobile companies has a direct impact on southeastern Michigan. A slowdown in the local and statewide economy has produced increased financial strain on segments of our customer base. We have experienced increased delinquency levels and losses in our loan portfolio, primarily with residential developer loans, residential real estate loans and home equity and consumer loans. Further downturns in the local economy may affect the demand for commercial loans and related small to medium business related products. This could have a significant impact on how we deploy earning assets. The competitive environment among the Bank, other financial institutions and financial service providers in the Macomb, Oakland, Wayne and St. Clair counties of Michigan may affect the pricing levels of various deposit products. The impact of competitive rates on deposit products may increase our cost of funds and thus negatively impact net interest income. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis and Results of Operations" contained in our Annual Stockholder Report included as Exhibit 13 to this 10-K. The Corporation continues to see competitive deposit rates offered from local financial institutions within the geographic proximity of the Bank which could have the effect of increasing the costs of funds to a level higher than management projects. The Corporation continues to utilize wholesale forms of funding earning assets through the FHLB and brokered certificates of deposit to balance both interest rate risk and the overall cost of funds. Brokered and internet certificates of deposit are based on a nationwide interest rate structure, typically at what is considered to be a premium interest rate. The local competition for certificates of deposit products has intensified and the Bank has found this type of wholesale funding to often effectively compete with the rates offered for similar term retail certificates of deposit products of local community and regional banks. The addition of a new branch location in Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan, which is anticipated to open this spring, will represent the second branch location in this upscale market of southeastern Michigan. The Corporation continues to work on cost controls throughout our organization as evidenced by total noninterest expense decreasing 4.5% in 2007. In 2007, the mortgage company subsidiary closed loan production offices in Rockford, Illinois and Raleigh, North Carolina whose origination activity was not commensurate with the level of overhead. The Bank and Corporation are both "well-capitalized" and have regulatory capital available for growth. 3 COMMUNITY CENTRAL BANK CORPORATION FORM 10-K (continued) EFFECT OF GOVERNMENT MONETARY POLICIES. The earnings of the Corporation are affected by domestic economic conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States Government, its agencies, and the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve Board's monetary policies have had, and will likely continue to have, an important impact on the operating results of commercial banks through its power to implement national monetary policy. Monetary policy is used to, among other things, attempt to curb inflation or combat a recession. The policies of the Federal Reserve Board have a major effect upon the levels of bank loans, investments and deposits through its open market operations in United States Government securities, and through its regulation of, among other things, the discount rate on borrowings of member banks and the reserve requirements against member bank deposits. It is not possible to predict the nature and impact of future changes in monetary and fiscal policies. REGULATION AND SUPERVISION. Financial institutions and their holding companies are extensively regulated under federal and state law. Consequently, the growth and earnings performance of the Corporation and the Bank can be affected not only by management decisions and general economic conditions, but also by the statutes administered by, and the regulations and policies of, various governmental regulatory authorities. Those authorities include, but are not limited to, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the FDIC, OFIS, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Internal Revenue Service, and federal and state taxing authorities. The effect of such statutes, regulations and policies can be significant, and cannot be predicted with a high degree of certainty. There can be no assurance that future legislation or government policy will not adversely affect the banking industry or the operations of the Corporation or the Bank. Federal economic and monetary policy may affect the Bank's ability to attract deposits, make loans and achieve satisfactory interest spreads. Federal and state laws and regulations generally applicable to financial institutions and their holding companies regulate, among other things, the scope of business, investments, reserves against deposits, capital levels relative to operations, lending activities and practices, the nature and amount of collateral for loans, the establishment of branches, mergers, consolidations and dividends. The system of supervision and regulation applicable to the Corporation and the Bank establishes a comprehensive framework for their respective operations and is intended primarily for the protection of the FDIC's deposit insurance funds, the depositors of the Bank, and the public, rather than shareholders of the Bank or the Corporation. Federal law and regulations establish supervisory standards applicable to the lending activities of the Bank including internal controls, credit underwriting, loan documentation, and loan-to-value ratios for loans secured by real property. The Bank is in compliance with these requirements. The Corporation is subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and files reports and proxy statements pursuant to such Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission. EMPLOYEES. As of December 31, 2007, the Corporation and its subsidiaries employed 81 full-time equivalent employees. COMPETITION. All phases of the business of the Bank are highly competitive. The Bank competes with numerous financial institutions, including other commercial banks, in Macomb County and the metropolitan Detroit area. The Bank, along with other commercial banks, competes with respect to its lending activities, and competes in attracting demand deposits with savings banks, savings and loan associations, insurance companies, small loan companies, credit unions and with the issuers of commercial paper and other securities, such as various mutual funds. Many of these institutions are substantially larger and have greater financial resources than the Bank. The competitive factors among financial institutions can be classified into two categories; competitive rates and competitive services. Interest rates are widely advertised and thus competitive, especially in the area of time deposits. From a service standpoint, financial institutions compete against each other in types and quality of services. The Bank is generally competitive with other financial institutions in its area with respect to interest rates paid on time and savings deposits, fees charged on deposit accounts, and interest rates charged on loans. With respect to services, the Bank offers a customer service oriented atmosphere which management believes is better suited to its customers' needs than that which is offered by other institutions in the local market. 4 COMMUNITY CENTRAL BANK CORPORATION FORM 10-K (continued) EXECUTIVE OFFICERS. The following is a list of the executive officers of the Corporation and the Bank, together with their ages and their positions at December 31, 2007. Executive officers of the Corporation are elected annually by the Board of Directors to serve for the ensuing years and until their successors are elected and qualified. Name and Position Position Held Since Age ----------------- ------------------- --- David A. Widlak President and CEO of Community Central 2003 59 Bank Corporation President and CEO Community Central Bank 2007 Ray T. Colonius CFO and Corporate Treasurer of 1999 50 Community Central Bank Corporation and Community Central Bank Sam A. Locricchio Executive. Vice President & Sr. Loan Officer of Community Central Bank 2003 58 ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with the other information provided in the Stockholder Report on Form 10-K. CHANGES IN ECONOMIC CONDITIONS OR INTEREST RATES MAY NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR EARNINGS, CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY. The results of operations for financial institutions, including our bank, may be materially and adversely affected by changes in prevailing local and national economic conditions, including declines in real estate market values, rapid increases or decreases in interest rates and changes in the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government. Our profitability is heavily influenced by the spread between the interest rates we earn on investments and loans and the interest rates we pay on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities. Substantially all our loans are to businesses and individuals in southeastern Michigan and any decline in the economy of this area could adversely affect us. Like most banking institutions, our net interest spread and margin will be affected by general economic conditions and other factors that influence market interest rates and our ability to respond to changes in these rates. At any given time, our assets and liabilities may be such that they are affected differently by a given change in interest rates. OUR CREDIT LOSSES COULD INCREASE AND OUR ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES MAY NOT BE ADEQUATE TO COVER ACTUAL LOAN LOSSES. The risk of nonpayment of loans is inherent in all lending activities and nonpayment, if it occurs, may have a material adverse affect on our earnings and overall financial condition as well as the value of our common stock. We make various assumptions and judgments about the collectibility of our loan portfolio and provide an allowance for potential losses based on a number of factors. If our assumptions are wrong, our allowance for credit and lease losses may not be sufficient to cover our losses, thereby having an adverse effect on our operating results, and may cause us to increase the allowance in the future. The actual amount of future provisions for credit losses cannot now be determined and may exceed the amount of past provisions. Additionally, federal banking regulators, as an integral part of their supervisory function, periodically review our allowance for credit losses. These regulatory agencies may require us to increase our provision for credit losses or to recognize further loan or lease charge-offs based upon their judgments, which may be different from ours. Any increase in the allowance for credit losses could have a negative effect on our net income, financial condition and results of operations. 5 COMMUNITY CENTRAL BANK CORPORATION FORM 10-K (continued) A DOWNTURN IN THE REAL ESTATE MARKET COULD HURT OUR BUSINESS. Downturns in the real estate market hurt our business because many of our loans are secured by real estate. Our ability to recover on defaulted loans by selling the real estate collateral is diminished, and we are more likely to suffer losses on defaulted loans. As of December 31, 2007, approximately 89% of the book value of our loan portfolio consisted of loans secured by various types of real estate. Substantially all of our real property collateral is located in Michigan. If there is a further decline in real estate values, especially in Michigan, the collateral for our loans will provide less security. REPAYMENT OF OUR COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE LOANS AND OUR COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL LOANS IS OFTEN DEPENDENT ON THE BORROWER'S BUSINESS, ITS CASHFLOW AND OUR COLLATERAL. Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher principal amounts than other types of lending, and the repayment of these loans may be dependent, in part, on sufficient income from the properties securing the loans to cover operating expenses and debt service. Because payments on loans secured by commercial real estate often depend upon the successful operation and management of the properties, repayment of such loans may be affected by factors outside the borrower's control, such as adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy or changes in government regulation. If the cash flow from the project is reduced, the borrower's ability to repay the loan and the value of the security for the loan may be impaired. Repayment of our commercial and industrial loans is often dependent on cash flow of the borrower, which may be unpredictable, and collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Our commercial loans are primarily made based on the cash flow of the borrower and secondarily on the value of the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. Most often, this collateral is accounts receivable, inventory, equipment or real estate. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers. Other collateral securing loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business. Adverse changes in local economic conditions impacting our business borrowers can be expected to have a negative effect on our results of operations and capital. DECLINE IN THE AVAILABILITY OF OUT-OF-AREA DEPOSITS COULD CAUSE LIQUIDITY OR INTEREST RATE MARGIN CONCERNS, OR LIMIT OUR GROWTH. We have utilized and expect to continue to utilize out-of-area or wholesale deposits to support our asset growth. These deposits are generally a lower cost source of funds when compared to the interest rates that we would have to offer in our local markets to generate a commensurate level of funds. In addition, the overhead costs associated with wholesale deposits are considerably less than the overhead costs we would incur to obtain and administer a similar level of local deposits. A decline in the availability of these wholesale deposits would require us to fund our growth with more costly funding sources, which could reduce our net interest margin, limit our growth, reduce our asset size or increase our overhead costs. WE MAY EXPERIENCE DIFFICULTIES IN GENERATING OR RAISING SUFFICIENT CAPITAL TO SUPPORT OUR GROWTH. To sustain our continued growth, we require additional capital to fund our expanding lending and deposit gathering activities. New branches often experience a period of unprofitability due to the impact of overhead expenses and the start-up costs of generating loans and deposits. To the extent that we continue to open additional branches, we may experience the effects of higher operating expenses relative to operating income from the new operations, which may have an adverse effect on our levels of net income, return on average equity and return on average assets. In addition, we may acquire banks and related businesses that we believe provide a strategic fit with our business. To the extent that we grow through acquisitions, we cannot assure you that we will be able to adequately or profitably manage such growth. Acquiring other banks and businesses involves risks, including (i) dilution of existing stockholders; (ii) additional leverage and decreased liquidity; (iii) integration risks; (iv) performance risks of the business acquired; (v) diverting management's focus away from our core business; and (vi) entering into new markets or offering new products and services with which management has limited prior experience. 6 COMMUNITY CENTRAL BANK CORPORATION FORM 10-K (continued) WE RELY HEAVILY ON OUR MANAGEMENT AND OTHER KEY PERSONNEL, AND THE LOSS OF ANY OF THEM MAY ADVERSELY EFFECT OUR OPERATIONS. The Corporation and subsidiaries continue to be dependent upon the services of our management team, including the executive officers named in Part I of this Form 10-K and other senior managers and commercial lenders. Losing one or more members of management could adversely affect our operations. The Corporation has key man life insurance in the form of Bank Owned Life Insurance on selected executive officers, but this insurance is only applicable on the death of one or more of these individuals. OUR FUTURE SUCCESS IN DEPENDENT ON OUR ABILITY TO COMPETE EFFECTIVELY IN THE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE BANKING INDUSTRY. We face substantial competition in all phases of our operations from a variety of different competitors. Our future growth and success will depend on our ability to compete effectively in this highly competitive environment. We compete for deposits, loans and other financial services with numerous Michigan-based and out-of-state banks, thrifts, credit unions, investment banks and other financial institutions as well as other entities which provide financial services. Some of the financial institutions and financial services organizations with which we compete are not subject to the same degree of regulation as we are. Most of our competitors have been in business for many years, have established customer bases, are larger, and have substantially higher lending limits than we do. The financial services industry is also likely to become more competitive as further technological advances enable more companies to provide financial services. These technological advances may diminish the importance of depository institutions and other financial intermediaries in the transfer of funds between parties. WE ARE SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT GOVERNMENT REGULATION, AND ANY REGULATORY CHANGES MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT US. The banking industry is heavily regulated under both federal and state law. These regulations are primarily intended to protect customers, not our creditors or shareholders. As a bank holding company, we are also subject to extensive regulation by the Federal Reserve, in addition to other regulatory and self-regulatory organizations. Our ability to establish new facilities or make acquisitions is conditioned upon the receipt of the required regulatory approvals from these organizations. Regulations affecting banks and financial services companies undergo continuous change, and we cannot predict the ultimate effect of such changes, which could have a material adverse effect on our profitability or financial condition. WE CONTINUALLY ENCOUNTER TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES, AND WE MAY HAVE FEWER RESOURCES THAN OUR COMPETITORS TO CONTINUE TO INVEST IN TECHNOLOGICAL IMPROVEMENTS. The banking industry is undergoing rapid technological changes with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services. In addition to better serving customers, the effective use of technology increases efficiency and enables financial institutions to reduce costs. The Corporation's future success will depend, in part, on our ability to address the needs of our customers by using technology to provide products and services that will satisfy customer demands for convenience as well as to create additional efficiencies in our operations. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvements. There can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services or be successful in marketing such products and services to our customers. OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND BY-LAWS AND MICHIGAN LAWS CONTAIN CERTAIN PROVISIONS THAT COULD MAKE A TAKEOVER MORE DIFFICULT. Our articles of incorporation and by-laws, and the laws of Michigan, include provisions which are designed to provide our board of directors with time to consider whether a hostile takeover offer is in the best interest of the Corporation and our shareholders. These provisions, however, could discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay or prevent a change in control. The provisions also could diminish the opportunities for a holder of our common stock to participate in tender offers, including tender offers at a price above the then-current price for our common stock. These provisions could also prevent transactions in which our shareholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then current market prices, and may limit the ability of our shareholders to approve transactions that they may deem to be in their best interests. 7 COMMUNITY CENTRAL BANK CORPORATION FORM 10-K (continued) The Michigan Business Corporation Act contains provisions intended to protect shareholders and prohibit or discourage certain types of hostile takeover activities. In addition to these provisions and the provisions of our articles of incorporation and by-laws, Federal law requires the Federal Reserve Board's approval prior to acquisition of "control" of a bank holding company. All of these provisions may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control at the company level without action by our shareholders, and therefore, could adversely affect the price of our common stock. OUR ABILITY TO PAY DIVIDENDS IS LIMITED BY LAW AND CONTRACT. We are a holding company and substantially all of our assets are held by our bank. Our ability to continue to make dividend payments to our shareholders will depend primarily on available cash resources at the holding company and dividends from our bank. Dividend payments or extensions of credit from our bank are subject to regulatory limitations, generally based on capital levels and current and retained earnings, imposed by regulatory agencies with authority over our bank. The ability of our bank to pay dividends is also subject to its profitability, financial condition, capital expenditures and other cash flow requirements. We are also prohibited from paying dividends on our common stock if the required payments on our subordinated debentures have not been made. We cannot assure you that our bank will be able to pay dividends to us in the future. THERE IS A LIMITED TRADING MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK. The price of our common stock has been, and will likely continue to be, subject to fluctuations based on, among other things, economic and market conditions for bank holding companies and the stock market in general, as well as changes in investor perceptions of our company. The issuance of new shares of our common stock also may affect the market for our common stock. Our common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol "CCBD." The development and maintenance of an active public trading market depends upon the existence of willing buyers and sellers, the presence of which is beyond our control. While we are a publicly-traded company, the volume of trading activity in our stock is still relatively limited. Even if a more active market develops, there can be no assurance that such a market will continue, or that our shareholders will be able to sell their shares at or above the offering price. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES The Corporation owns two facilities, its main branch office facility and its corporate and bank headquarters, located in the downtown business district of Mount Clemens, Michigan. The main branch office location contains a full service branch and houses our IT operations. The corporate headquarters houses our executive officers and administrative office staff, as well as commercial lending, trust, wealth management and the mortgage company operations. The Corporation leases two operational full service branch locations in Rochester Hills and Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan and recently started leasing an additional site location located in Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan for its newest full service branch, which is expected to open in the second quarter of 2008. The Corporation will have two full service branches located within the Grosse Pointe, Michigan area. The Rochester Hills branch lease has 6 years remaining on its initial term, with a 10 year renewal option. The Grosse Pointe branch location which opened in June 2006 has a 10 year lease with a 10 year renewal option. The lease for the new Grosse Pointe Woods location is for a 10 year term with a 10 year renewal option. The mortgage company, a subsidiary of the Corporation and the Bank, has a loan production office located in Mount Clemens, to serve the Detroit metropolitan areas. Additionally, the mortgage company operates an office in Merrillville, Indiana, with a short-term lease. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS From time to time, the Corporation and the Bank may be involved in various legal proceedings that are incidental to their business. In the opinion of management, neither the Corporation nor the Bank is a party to any current legal proceedings that are material to the financial condition of the Corporation or the Bank, either individually or in the aggregate. 8 COMMUNITY CENTRAL BANK CORPORATION FORM 10-K (continued) ITEM 4.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE There are no changes in or disagreements with accountants on accounting and financial disclosure. ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: An evaluation of the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Section 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) as of December 31, 2007, was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer and several other members of the Corporation's senior management. The Corporation's Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures as currently in effect are effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Corporation's management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. The Corporation intends to continually review and evaluate the design and effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and to improve its controls and procedures over time and to correct any deficiencies that it may discover in the future. The goal is to ensure that senior management has timely access to all material non-financial information concerning the Corporation's business. While the Corporation believes the present design of its disclosure controls and procedures is effective to achieve its goal, future events affecting its business may cause the Corporation to modify its disclosure controls and procedures. (b) Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: Management of Community Central Bank Corporation and its subsidiary (the "Corporation") is responsible for establishing and maintaining an effective system of internal control over financial reporting. The Corporation's system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. There are inherent liabilities in the effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of human error and circumvention or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even an effective system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
