ADVISEMENT
Unless
the context requires otherwise , “First Transaction” , “
the company ”, “ we ”, “ us ”, “ our ” and similar terms refer
to First Transaction Management, Inc. Our common stock, par value $.01 per
share is commonly referred to in this quarterly report as our “ common shares ”or “common stock.” The
information in this quarterly report is current as of the date of this quarterly
report (June 30, 2010), unless another date is specified.
We
prepare our interim financial statements in accordance with United States
generally accepted accounting principles. Our financial condition and
results of operations for the six-month interim period ended June 30, 2010 are
not necessarily indicative of our prospective financial condition and results of
operations for the pending full fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. The
interim financial statements presented in this quarterly report as well as other
information relating to our company contained in this quarterly report should be
read in conjunction and together with any reports, statements and information
filed with the SEC.
FORWARD
LOOKING STATEMENTS
In this
quarterly report we make a number of statements, referred to as “forward-looking
statements”, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), which
are intended to convey our expectations or predictions regarding the occurrence
of possible future events or the existence of trends and factors that may impact
our future plans and operating results. These forward-looking statements are
derived, in part, from various assumptions and analyses we have made in the
context of our current business plan and information currently available to use
and in light of our experience and perceptions of historical trends, current
conditions and expected future developments and other factors we believe are
appropriate in the circumstances. You can generally identify forward looking
statements through words and phrases such as “believe”, “expect”, “seek”,
“estimate”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “plan”, “budget”, “project”, “may likely
result”, “may be”, “may continue” and other similar
expressions.
Each
forward-looking statement should be read in context with and in understanding of
the various other disclosures concerning our company and our business made
elsewhere in this report as well as our public filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking
statement as a prediction of actual results or developments. We are not
obligated to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this
report or any other filing to reflect new events or circumstances unless and to
the extent required by applicable law.

NOTE
1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Nature
of Operations
First
Transaction Management, Inc. ( “we”, “us”, “our company”, “our”,
“First Transaction” or the “ the Company” ) was
incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 25, 1999 as Creative Products
International, Inc. The Company was a subsidiary of another corporation until
December 23, 1999, when it was spun-off. In 2002, we changed our name to First
Transaction Management, Inc. to more directly reflect our business interests in
web based promotion and transaction processing management services. Effective
December 31, 2004, we discontinued our efforts in those areas and are currently
seeking new economic opportunities, including a merger transaction.
We are a
development stage entity, as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915.
We are
pursuing an acquisition strategy whereby we will seek to acquire businesses with
a history of operating revenues in markets that provide room for growth. We are
engaged in identifying, investigating and, if warranted, acquiring companies
that will enhance revenues and increase shareholder value. In the event that our
limited financial resources prove to be insufficient to implement our
acquisition strategy, we will be required to seek additional financing, through
either equity or debt financing.
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements as of June 30, 2010 and
for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 have been
prepared by First Transaction Management, Inc. pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Form 10-Q and
Regulation S-X. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the
respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations. The company believes that the
disclosures provided are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements and explanatory notes for the year ended December
31, 2009 as disclosed in the company's 10-K for that year as filed with the SEC,
as it may be amended.
The
results of the six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the pending full year ending December 31,
2010.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying
disclosures. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge
of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future, actual
results may differ from those estimates.
Going
Concern
The
financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, and do not
reflect any adjustments related to the uncertainty surrounding our recurring
losses or accumulated deficit
We
currently have no revenue source and are incurring losses. These factors raise
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We will
pursue an acquisition strategy whereby we will seek to acquire businesses with a
history of operating revenues in markets that provide room for growth. We are
engaged in identifying, investigating and, if warranted, acquiring companies
that will enhance revenues and increase shareholder value. In the event that our
limited financial resources prove to be insufficient to implement our
acquisition strategy, we will be required to seek additional financing, through
either equity or debt financing.
8
Loss
Per Share
We use
ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” for calculating the basic and diluted loss per
share. We compute basic loss per share by dividing net loss and net loss
attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per
share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of
additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential
shares had been issued and if the additional shares were dilutive. Common
equivalent shares are excluded from the computation of net loss per share if
their effect is anti-dilutive. There were 13,750 common share equivalents at
June 30, 2010 and 2009. These potential shares were excluded from the shares
used to calculate diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would reduce net
loss per share or increase net income per share.
Fair
value of financial instruments
Our
short-term financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and note
payable, consist primarily of instruments without extended maturities, the fair
value of which, based on management’s estimates, reasonably approximate their
book value. The fair value of our long term note is based on management
estimates and reasonably approximates its book value after comparison to
obligations with similar interest rates and maturities.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
Recent
accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task
Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to,
have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial
statements.
NOTE
2 - CAPITAL STOCK AND STOCKHOLDER’S EQUITY
We are
authorized to issue 125,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $.01
per share and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $.01 per
share.

Item
2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
Overview
First
Transaction Management, Inc. (the “Company”), a development stage company, was
incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 25, 1999 to develop certain
consumer products and web based promotion and transaction processing management
services. Effective December 31, 2004, we discontinued our business efforts
related to web based promotion management services and are currently seeking new
economic opportunities, including a merger transaction. From 2002 to 2007, we
generated ancillary revenues from general business consulting services to
support its nominal operations. We currently have no revenue generating
activities.
On August
1, 2008 we effected a 1 for 20 reverse split of our common stock. All share and
per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this reverse
split.
On August
14, 2008, one of our shareholders (the “Seller”) sold 262,798 previously issued
and outstanding post-split shares of our common stock, comprising approximately
65.82% of our post-split issued and outstanding capital stock, and a Secured
Promissory Note (the “Note”) payable to the Seller that was convertible into
656,665 post-split shares of our common stock, for the aggregate purchase price
of $600,000 (for the outstanding shares and the Note). The Note and related
accrued interest was converted into 656,665 shares of common stock during August
2008. As a result of the sale, our officers and board of directors resigned and
our current officer and director was appointed.
We are
pursuing an acquisition strategy, whereby we will seek to acquire undervalued
businesses with a history of operating revenues in markets that provide room for
growth ("Acquisition Strategy"). We will engage in identifying, investigating
and, if warranted, acquiring companies that will enhance our revenues and
increase shareholder value.
Our
Acquisition Strategy is focused on pursuing a strategy of growth by acquiring
undervalued businesses with a history of operating revenues. We will utilize
several criteria to evaluate prospective acquisitions including whether the
business to be acquired (1) is an established business with viable services or
products, (2) has an experienced and qualified management team, (3) has room for
growth and/or expansion into other markets, (4) is accretive to earnings, (5)
offers the opportunity to achieve and/or enhance profitability, and (6)
increases shareholder value.
The
following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes
thereto and other financial information included elsewhere in this report.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and
judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses,
and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates
and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions we
believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may
differ markedly from our current expectations and assumptions. While there are a
number of significant accounting policies affecting our financial statements; we
believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most complex,
difficult and subjective estimates and judgments:
Use of
Estimates - These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and,
accordingly, require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Specifically, our management has estimated the value of our
shares issued for compensation and our net operating loss for tax purposes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Going
Concern - The financial
statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, and do not reflect any
adjustments related to the uncertainty surrounding our recurring losses or
accumulated deficit
We are
currently in the process of implementing our new business plan, focusing on our
acquisition strategy. At present, we have sufficient capital on hand to fund our
operations only through May of 2010. There can be no assurance that upon
implementing our new business plan, we will be successful or that we will start
producing sufficient revenues to maintain our operations. The foregoing matters
raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern.
10
Results
of Operations
Comparison
of the Three Month Period Ended June 30, 2010 to the Three Month Period Ended
June 30, 2009
We had no
revenue in the quarters ended June 30, 2010 or 2009. Operating expenses
decreased from $20,175 in 2009 to $18,080 in 2010, a decrease of $2,095, or 10%.
The decrease results from a decrease in administrative expenses. The primary
components of our current operating expenses are compensation and professional
fees.
Interest
expense was $312 in 2010 and $0 in 2009. The increase results from a loan
received from a stockholder during the third quarter of 2009.
As our
current focus is on our Acquisition Strategy, we do not believe that quarter to
quarter and year to year comparisons of our historical results of operations are
meaningful in predicting our future financial performance. We currently have no
revenue generating activities. Accordingly, it is anticipated that our results
of operations will fluctuate from quarter to quarter and from fiscal year to
fiscal year.
Comparison
of the Six Month Period Ended June 30, 2010 to the Six Month Period Ended June
30, 2009
We had no
revenue in the six month periods ended June 30, 2010 or 2009. Operating expenses
increased from $38,200 in 2009 to $38,316 in 2010, an increase of $116. The
primary components of our current operating expenses are compensation and
professional fees.
Interest
expense was $620 in 2010 and $0 in 2009. The increase results from a loan
received from a stockholder during the third quarter of 2009.
As our
focus is on our Acquisition Strategy, we do not believe that quarter to quarter
and year to year comparisons of our historical results of operations are
meaningful in predicting our future financial performance. We currently have no
revenue generating activities. Accordingly, it is anticipated that our results
of operations will fluctuate from quarter to quarter and from fiscal year to
fiscal year.
Plan
of Operation
We are
pursuing an Acquisition Strategy, whereby we will seek to acquire undervalued
businesses with a history of operating revenues in markets that provide room for
growth. We will primarily engage in identifying, investigating and, if
investigation warrants, acquiring companies that will enhance our revenues and
increase shareholder value. Our Acquisition Strategy is focused on pursuing a
strategy of growth by acquiring undervalued businesses with a history of
operating revenues. We will utilize several criteria to evaluate prospective
acquisitions including whether the business to be acquired (1) is an established
business with viable services or products, (2) has an experienced and qualified
management team, (3) has room for growth and/or expansion into other markets,
(4) is accretive to earnings, (5) offers the opportunity to achieve and/or
enhance profitability, and (6) increases shareholder value.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of
June 30, 2010 we had a working capital deficit of $109,962. On October 21, 2008,
we entered into a Stock Subscription Agreement (“the Agreement”) with three
accredited and non-affiliated investors (the “Investors”). Pursuant to the
Agreement, the Investors purchased an aggregate of 450,000 shares of common
stock for $49,500. On August 19, 2009 we executed a promissory note with a
stockholder in the amount of $25,000. The note bears interest at 5% per year and
matures on August 19, 2011. Our cash on hand on July 31, 2010 of approximately
$3,000 is sufficient to satisfy our immediate financial needs or provide us with
sufficient capital to maintain our business and to finance acquisitions through
August of 2010. Ultimately management anticipates needing to need to raise
additional funds in order to continue operating. There can be no assurances that
we will be able to obtain additional funds if and when needed.
Additionally,
as we are considered a “shell” or “blank check” company, purchasers of our
securities cannot currently rely on Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities
Act with regard to the resale of their shares. Accordingly, any financing in the
form of equity may be deeply discounted to compensate the investors for the
added risk and inability to rely on Rule 144.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
Recent
accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task
Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to,
have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial
statements.
11
UNCERTAINTIES
AND OTHER RISK FACTORS THAT
MAY
AFFECT OUR FUTURE RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
We
have described below a number of uncertainties and risks which, in addition to
uncertainties and risks presented elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, may
adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
The uncertainties and risks enumerated below as well as those presented
elsewhere in this Quarterly Report should be considered carefully in evaluating
our company and our business and the value of our securities. The following
important factors, among others, could cause our actual business, financial
condition and future results to differ materially from those contained in
forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report or presented elsewhere
by management from time to time.
Our
limited resources may not be sufficient for us to implement our Acquisition
Strategy.
We have
limited resources. We are pursuing an acquisition strategy, whereby we will seek
to acquire undervalued businesses. The implementation of our strategy
is highly dependent on retaining professions such as lawyers, accountants and
investment bankers to consummate any proposed transaction. As a
result of our limited resources, we may not have sufficient capital to retain
such professions and as a result, may not be able to successfully implement our
strategy.
We
May Not be Able to Continue as Going Concern
Based on
our limited operations, lack of revenue and relatively minimal assets there can
be no assurance that we will be able to continue as a going concern or complete
a merger, acquisition or other business combination.
We
Will Need Additional Financing in Order to Execute Our Business Plan and it may
be Extremely Expensive
We are
entirely dependent upon our limited available financial resources to implement
our acquisition strategy. We cannot ascertain with any degree of certainty the
capital requirements for the successful execution of our acquisition strategy.
In the event that our limited financial resources prove to be insufficient to
implement our acquisition strategy, we will be required to seek additional
financing. Also, in the event of the consummation of an acquisition, we may
require additional financing to fund the operations or growth of the target.
Additionally, as we are considered a “shell” or “blank check” company,
purchasers of our securities cannot currently rely on Rule 144 promulgated under
the Securities Act with regard to the resale of their shares. Accordingly, any
financing in the form of equity may be deeply discounted to compensate the
investors for the added risk and inability to rely on Rule 144. Depending on
such discount, our current shareholders may be substantially
diluted.
Additional
Financing May Not Be Available to Us
There can
be no assurance that additional financing will be available on acceptable terms,
or at all. To the extent that additional financing proves to be unavailable when
needed, we would, in all likelihood, be compelled to abandon plans of further
acquisitions, and would have minimal capital remaining to pursue other targets.
Our inability to secure additional financing, if needed, could also have a
material adverse effect on our continued development or growth. We have no
arrangements with any bank or financial institution to secure additional
financing and there can be no assurance that any such arrangement, if required
or otherwise sought, would be available on terms deemed to be commercially
acceptable to us and in our best interests.
Competition
for Acquisitions
We expect
to encounter intense competition from other entities having business objectives
similar to ours. Many of these entities, including venture capital firms,
partnerships and corporations, blind pool companies, large industrial and
financial institutions, small business investment companies and wealthy
individuals, are well-established and have extensive experience in connection
with identifying and effecting acquisitions directly or through affiliates. Many
of these competitors possess greater financial, technical, human and other
resources than us and there can be no assurance that we will have the ability to
compete successfully. Our financial resources will be limited in comparison to
those of many of our competitors. This inherent competitive limitation may
compel us to select certain less attractive acquisition prospects. There can be
no assurance that such prospects will permit us to achieve our stated business
objectives.
We
May Be Subject to Uncertainty in the Competitive Environment of a
Target
In the event that we succeed in
completing an acquisition, we will, in all likelihood, become subject to intense
competition from competitors of the target. In particular, certain industries
which experience rapid growth frequently attract an increasingly large number of
competitors, including competitors with greater financial, marketing, technical,
human and other resources than the initial competitors in the industry. The
degree of competition characterizing the industry of any prospective target
cannot presently be ascertained. There can be no assurance that, subsequent to a
consummation of an acquisition, we will have the resources to compete
effectively in the industry of the target, especially to the extent that the
target is in a high growth industry.
12
We
May Pursue an Acquisition with a Target Operating Outside the United States
Which will Entail the Additional Risks Relating to Doing Business in a Foreign
Country
We may
effectuate an acquisition with a target whose business operations or even
headquarters, place of formation or primary place of business are located
outside the United States. In such event, we may face the significant additional
risks associated with doing business in that country. In addition to the
language barriers, different presentations of financial information, different
business practices, and other cultural differences and barriers that may make it
difficult to evaluate such a target, ongoing business risks may result from the
internal political situation, uncertain legal systems and applications of law,
prejudice against foreigners, corrupt practices, uncertain economic policies and
potential political and economic instability that may be exacerbated in various
foreign countries.
Lawrence Chimerine,
our CEO, is Critical to Our Future Success
Our
ability to successfully carry out our business plan and to consummate additional
acquisitions will be dependent upon the efforts of Mr. Chimerine.
Notwithstanding the significance of Mr. Chimerine, we have not obtained any "key
man" life insurance on his life. The loss of the services of Mr. Chimerine would
have a material adverse effect on our ability to successfully achieve our
business objectives. If additional personnel are required, there can be no
assurance that we will be able to retain such necessary additional
personnel.
The
Uncertain Structure of an Acquisition May Result in Risks Relating to the Market
for Our Common Stock
We may
form one or more subsidiary entities to effect an acquisition and may, under
certain circumstances, distribute the securities of subsidiaries to our
stockholders. There can be no assurance that a market would develop for the
securities of any subsidiary distributed to stockholders or, if a market were to
develop, no assurances as to the prices at which such securities might
trade.
We
Expect to Pay No Cash Dividends
We do not
expect to pay dividends to the holders of common stock. Accordingly, any return
on a stockholders’ investment will require the appreciation of our common
shares. There can be no assurance that the value of our common shares
will increase.
Indemnification
of Officers and Directors
Our
Certificate of Incorporation provides for the indemnification of our officers
and directors to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of
Delaware. It is possible that the indemnification obligations imposed under
these provisions could result in a charge against our earnings, if any, and
thereby affect the availability of funds for other uses.
Taxation
Considerations May Impact the Structure of an Acquisition and Post-merger
Liabilities
Federal
and state tax consequences will, in all likelihood, be major considerations for
us in consummating an acquisition. The structure of an acquisition or the
distribution of securities to stockholders may result in taxation of us, the
target or stockholders. Typically, these transactions may be structured to
result in tax-free treatment to both companies, pursuant to various federal and
state tax provisions. We intend to structure any acquisition so as to minimize
the federal and state tax consequences to both the us and the target. Management
cannot assure that an acquisition will meet the statutory requirements for a
tax-free reorganization, or that the parties will obtain the intended tax-free
treatment upon a transfer of stock or assets. A non-qualifying reorganization
could result in the imposition of both federal and state taxes, which may have
an adverse effect on both parties to the transaction.
We
May Be Deemed an Investment Company and Subjected to Related
Restrictions
The regulatory scope of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"), which was
enacted principally for the purpose of regulating vehicles for pooled
investments in securities, extends generally to companies engaged primarily in
the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in
securities. The Investment Company Act may, however, also be deemed to be
applicable to a company which does not intend to be characterized as an
investment company but which, nevertheless, engages in activities which may be
deemed to be within the definitional scope of certain provisions of the
Investment Company Act. We believe that our anticipated principal activities,
which will involve acquiring control of an operating company, will not subject
us to regulation under the Investment Company Act. Nevertheless, there can be no
assurance that at some future point we will not be deemed to be an investment
company. If we are deemed to be an investment company, we may become subject to
certain restrictions relating to our activities, including restrictions on the
nature of our investments and the issuance of securities. In addition, the
Investment Company Act imposes certain requirements on companies deemed to be
within its regulatory scope, including registration as an investment company,
adoption of a specific form of corporate structure and compliance with certain
burdensome reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy, disclosure and other rules
and regulations. In the event of the characterization of us as an investment
company, our inability to satisfy such regulatory requirements, whether on a
timely basis or at all, would, under certain circumstances, have a material
adverse effect on us.
13
Item
3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
A smaller
reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this
Item.
Item
4. Controls and Procedures
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”) that are designed to be effective in providing reasonable assurance that
information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC”),
and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In
designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, management
recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance of achieving the
desired objectives. Also, the design of a control system must reflect the fact
that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be
considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all
control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that
all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These
inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can
be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. 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 its stated goals under all potential future
conditions.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on
management’s evaluation (with the participation of our CEO and Chief Financial
Officer (Principal Accounting Officer)), as of the end of the period covered by
this report, our CEO and Principal Accounting Officer have concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange
Act)), are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to
provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in
reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and
forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in
Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during
the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
Inherent
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our
management, including the CEO and Principal Accounting Officer, does not expect
that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting
will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how
well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance
that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system
must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of
controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the
inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can
provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not
occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been
detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in
decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple
error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of
some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of
the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain
assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance
that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential
future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to
future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance
with policies or procedures.
