TRUDY CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)


1.

Description of Business and Basis of Presentation


On September 3, 2010 the Company closed on its previously-announced transaction and sold substantially all of its assets to MMAC, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“MMAC”), which also assumed certain liabilities of Trudy.


Please refer to Note 2 and the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 16, 2010.


On September 3, 2010 a group of Trudy shareholders including three Directors and one other employee of the Company sold a controlling interest of Trudy for total consideration of $1.00 to an individual in a private transaction who appointed new management and elected a new Board of Directors. Recognizing this transaction the Company’s Board of Directors and senior management resigned effective September 3, 2010.


Prior to September 3, 2010, Trudy Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Company’), published children's books, eBooks and audiobooks and designed, manufactured and marketed plush stuffed toys, children’s instruments and musical electronics for sale directly to consumers in the United States and to domestic and international retail and wholesale customers. The Company's products were sold under the trade names (i.e. imprints) of Studio Mouse, Soundprints, Little Soundprints, Fetching Books, Music for Little People and BeBop. This line of business for the Company ceased on September 3, 2010 as a result of the sale of substantially all of its assets and certain assumed liabilities to MMAC.


Commencing on September 4, 2010 the Company’s new line of business is pursuing contracts for engineering projects to design, build and own projects for re-development in war torn areas as well as re-construction in areas hit by natural disasters.


The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2010 are not  indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2011 as the Company’s new line of business will ensue.  For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2010.


Going Concern


The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a deficiency in net assets. Such factors continue to raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.


Development Stage


As of September 4, 2010, Trudy is a development stage company with no current operating results and, accordingly, there is no basis on which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective.


There is an extremely limited basis upon which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective of pursuing contracts for engineering projects to design, build and own projects for re-development in war torn areas as well as re-construction in areas hit by natural disasters. Trudy will not generate any significant revenues or income until, at the earliest, after the consummation of a business combination or transaction.


Reclassification


Certain items from prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current period financial statement presentation. There is no effect on net income, cash flows or stockholders’ deficit as a result of these reclassifications.

2.

Discontinued Operations


On September 3, 2010 the Company closed on its previously-announced transaction and sold substantially all of its assets to MMAC, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“MMAC”), which also assumed certain liabilities of Trudy.

 

The assets sold consisted of Trudy’s on-going business as a publisher of children’s educational story, novelty and electronic books, audiobooks and plush toys.

 

The consideration being paid by MMAC for the Company’s assets consists of the following: (1) the assumption of substantially all of the secured and unsecured liabilities of the Company, including loans from an affiliate of MMAC to the Company in the principal amount of $545,000 and with the exception of $2.7 million of personal debt owed to a principal shareholder and Chairman of the Company, William W. Burnham (“Burnham”); and (2) upon the completion of the final calculation of the net asset value of the Company (estimated to be completed approximately 90-120 days from the closing) an equity interest in MMAC, estimated to be in the range of 4.75%, subject, however, to possible adjustment upon the final determination of such net asset value. In view of the initial determination at closing of the Company’s net asset value, the previously announced Buyer Note from MMAC to Trudy in the principal amount of $225,000 was not issued.

 

The amount of such consideration was determined by the Company and MMAC in arm’s length negotiations. Factors taken into consideration in the negotiations included the Company’s then current financial condition and future prospects, the Company’s results of operations, the value of the Company’s assets and the Company’s banking and shareholder obligations, together with those of the Company’s other creditors, both secured and unsecured.

 

Upon determination of the final percentage equity interest as described above, MMAC will transfer such equity to the Company which will then transfer it to Burnham in consideration of the cancellation by Burnham of the $2.7 million of personal debt owed by the Company to him. Excepted from cancellation is $50,000 of debt owed to Burnham which will remain outstanding and which will be repaid to Burnham one year following the closing if and to the extent the Company has not spent the $50,000 of cash it will retain at the closing for general corporate purposes. The final percentage equity interest is still to be determined.

 

At the closing, as required by agreement of the parties, Burnham made a capital contribution to MMAC of cash in the amount of $175,000 and a $25,000 promissory note. Adjustment upward or downward of such $200,000 in the aggregate may be made upon final determination of the net asset value of the Company.


The Company has accrued for all obligations related to the agreement with MMAC, LLC and William W. Burnham as of September 3, 2010. This balance was $38,399 owed to William W. Burnham.


Holders of Trudy’s common stock did not receive any payment or distribution with respect to their shares pursuant to the sale of substantially all the Company’s assets.


The value of the assets sold on September 3, 2010 was $2,895,258 and the liabilities disposed of in the transaction were $3,455,623. The difference of $3,122,884 was recorded to additional paid in capital due to the primary debt relief in the transaction being debt owed to a related party.


In addition, MMAC entered into a new four year lease with Noreast Management, LLC, a company which is 91% owned by Burnham, for the Company’s current headquarters on substantially the same terms as the current lease with the Company.


Please refer to the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 16, 2010.


Ashley Andersen Zantop (“Andersen Zantop”), former CEO and President of the Company, Fell Herdeg (“Herdeg”), former CFO and Secretary of the Company, and Burnham, former Chairman and Director of Corporate Development of the Company, have been retained as employees by MMAC on substantially the same terms as their current employment with the Company. Andersen Zantop will serve as President and CEO of MMAC, Herdeg will serve as CFO of MMAC and Burnham will serve as Director of Corporate Development of MMAC. In addition, Burnham and Andersen Zantop will join the Board of Directors of MMAC.

 

On September 3, 2010 a group of Trudy shareholders including three Directors and one other employee of the Company sold a controlling interest of Trudy for $1.00 to an individual in a private transaction who appointed new management and elected a new Board of Directors. Recognizing this transaction the Company’s Board of Directors and senior management resigned effective September 3, 2010.

Net Sales for the six months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were $1,696,177 and $2,418,985, respectively.


No gain was recorded on the disposal transaction due to the excess debt relief compared to the carrying value of the disposed assets on the sales transaction being from a related party. The value of the net assets sold on September 3, 2010 was $2,895,258. The liabilities disposed of in the transaction were $3,455,623. The difference of $3,122,884 was recorded to additional paid in capital due to the primary debt relief in the transaction being debt owed to a related party.

b. Equipment


The Company owns $165,000 in scaffolding equipment that will be used on the outside of buildings under construction to support the workers on the build.  The expected useful life of the equipment is 20 years and the equipment will be placed in service on October 1, 2010.  The equipment will be rented out to projects on a monthly or daily rental basis.


4.  Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements


In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-18 regarding improving comparability by eliminating diversity in practice about the treatment of modifications of loans accounted for within pools under Subtopic 310-30 – Receivable – Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality (“Subtopic 310-30”). Furthermore, the amendments clarify guidance about maintaining the integrity of a pool as the unit of accounting for acquired loans with credit deterioration.  Loans accounted for individually under Subtopic 310-30 continue to be subject to the troubled debt restructuring accounting provisions within Subtopic 310-40, Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors.  The amendments in this Update are effective for modifications of loans accounted for within pools under Subtopic 310-30 occurring in the first interim or annual period ending on or after July 15, 2010.  The amendments are to be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our financial statements.


In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09 regarding subsequent events and amendments to certain recognition and disclosure requirements. Under this ASU, a public company that is a SEC filer, as defined, is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This ASU is effective upon the issuance of this ASU. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our financial statements.


In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 regarding fair value measurements and disclosures and improvement in the disclosure about fair value measurements.  This ASU requires additional disclosures regarding significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 of fair value measurements, including a description of the reasons for the transfers.  Further, this ASU requires additional disclosures for the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, requiring presentation of information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements.  This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU; however, we do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our financial statements.


In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “ASC”). The ASC has become the single source of non-governmental accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB in the preparation of financial statements. The Company adopted the ASC as of July 1, 2009. The ASC does not change GAAP and did not have an effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855-10 entitled “Subsequent Events”. Companies are now required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated by management. This was amended with ASU 2010-09 in February of 2010 to enable companies to not disclose the specific date. Public entities (as defined) must conduct the evaluation as of the date the financial statements are issued, and provide disclosure that such date was used for this evaluation. ASC 855-10 provides that financial statements are considered “issued” when they are widely distributed for general use and reliance in a form and format that complies with GAAP. ASC 855-10 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and must be applied prospectively. The adoption of ASC 855-10 upon inception did not have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statements as of that date or for the period then ended. In connection with preparing the accompanying financial statements for the periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, management evaluated subsequent events through the date that such financial statements were issued.

Item 2.

 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS


NET SALES FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS


Overview


Three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the 3 months ended September 30, 2009


Net Sales from discontinued operations for the Company’s September quarter of fiscal 2011 decreased -54.5% versus the comparable quarter of fiscal 2010. The decline was due to a shortened quarter due to the asset sale on September 3 and a reduction in holiday business from a major customer.  Product costs from discontinued operations increased from 51.6% in the quarter ended September 30, 2009 to 53.1% in the current quarter as a result of an increase in lower margin sales to balance inventories, and continuing increases in manufacturing costs from vendors in China.  The three month period resulted in a net loss from discontinued operations of $591,450 versus a net loss of $360,457 for the prior year. The three month period resulted in a net loss from continuing operations of $6,005.


Six months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the six months ended September 30, 2009


Net Sales from discontinued operations for the first six months of fiscal 2011 decreased -29.9% versus the comparable six months of fiscal 2010 due to a nearly 33% shortened September Quarter due to the September 3 asset sale and certain non repeating orders from certain warehouse club and direct to consumer distributor customers. Product costs from discontinued operations increased from 43.1% for the six months ended September 30, 2009 to 51.9% in the current six month period again as a result of an increase in inventory balancing efforts,  sales at reduced margins and continuing increases in manufacturing costs from vendors in China.  The six month period operations resulted in a net loss from discontinued operations of $832,931 versus a net loss of $562,342 for the prior year.  The three month period resulted in a net loss from continuing operations of $6,005.


Three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009


As noted above, net sales from discontinued operations of $594,784 for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 decreased -54.5% versus the comparable quarter’s sales of $1,308,381 a year ago. The decrease was largely due to the shortened sales quarter due to the asset sale on September 3, 2010. Also, several channels of trade experienced decreased sales from discontinued operations for the quarter including, but not limited to direct-to-consumer accounts, domestic warehouse club distributors and direct-to-consumer book distributors.


Six months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the six months ended September 30, 2009


As noted above, net sales from discontinued operations of $1,696,177 for the first six months of fiscal 2011 decreased -29.9% versus the comparable year’s six month sales of $2,418,985 a year ago.


In addition to the shortened selling period due to the September 3 asset sale, several channels of trade experienced decreased sales from discontinued operations for the six months including, but not limited to direct-to-consumer accounts, domestic warehouse club distributors and direct-to-consumer book distributors.


COST OF SALES FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS.


Three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009


The Company’s cost of sales from discontinued operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 decreased $360,295 from $922,683 in the prior year’s quarter to $562,388 in the current year, a decrease of 39.0%. Cost of sales from discontinued operations as a percentage of net sales from discontinued operations increased from 70.5% to 94.6% in the current quarter primarily as a result of increased amortization expenses related to the disposal of the assets held for sale, and in smaller part as a result of an increase in direct product costs from the Company’s manufacturers in China and lower margin sales to balance inventories.




12



Six months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the six months ended September 30, 2009


The Company’s cost of sales from discontinued operations for the six months ended September 30, 2010 decreased $253,433 from $1,547,505 in the prior year’s six month period to $1,294,072 in the current year’s six month period, a decrease of 16.4%. Cost of sales from discontinued operations as a percentage of net sales from discontinued operations increased from 63.9% to 76.3% primarily as a result of increased amortization expenses related to the disposal of the assets held for sale, and in smaller part as a result of an increase in direct product costs from the Company’s manufacturers in China and lower margin sales to balance inventories.


GROSS PROFIT FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS.


Three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009


The resulting gross profit from discontinued operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 decreased 91.6% from $385,698 to $32,396. The gross margin was 29.5% in the prior comparable quarter versus 5.4% in the current year’s quarter.


Six months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the six months ended September 30, 2009


The resulting gross profit from discontinued operations for the six months ended September 30, 2010 decreased 53.9% from $872,518 to $402,105. The gross margin was 36.1% in the prior year’s comparable six month period versus 23.7% in the current year’s six month period.


SELLING, GENERAL & ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS.


Three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009


The Company’s selling, general, and administrative costs from discontinued operations decreased 23.2% or $167,089 to $551,534 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 versus $718,623 for the three months ended September 30, 2009.  As a percentage of net sales from discontinued operations, selling, general and administrative expenses from discontinued operations increased from 54.9% of net sales from discontinued operations from the prior comparable quarter to 92.7% of net sales from discontinued operations in the current fiscal year. This was primarily attributable to increased legal and amortization expenses related to the disposal of the assets held for sale which heretofore were capitalized.


The Company’s selling, general, and administrative costs from continuing operations was $5,400.


Six months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the six months ended September 30, 2009


The Company’s selling, general, and administrative costs from discontinued operations decreased 20.0% or $274,523 to $1,103,804 for the six months ended September 30, 2010 versus $1,378,327 for the six months ended September 30, 2009.  As a percentage of net sales from discontinued operations, selling, general and administrative expenses from discontinued operations increased from 57.0% of net sales from discontinued operations from the prior year’s six month period to 65.1% of net sales from discontinued operations in the current year’s six month period. This was again primarily attributable increased legal and amortization expenses related to the disposal of the assets held for sale which heretofore were capitalized.


The Company’s selling, general, and administrative costs from continuing operations was $5,400.

OTHER INCOME/EXPENSE FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS.


Three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009


The Company’s other expense from discontinued operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 was $72,286 versus expense of $27,532 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The increase is primarily a result of increased borrowing costs.


The Company’s other expense from continuing operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 was $605.


Six months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the six months ended September 30, 2009


The Company’s other expense from discontinued operations for the six months ended September 30, 2010 was $131,206 versus expense of $56,533 for the six months ended September 30, 2009. The increase is primarily a result of increased borrowing costs.


The Company’s other expense from continuing operations for the six months ended September 30, 2010 was $605.

The Company’s net loss from continuing operations for the six months ended September 30, 2010 was $6,005.


Critical Accounting Estimates


Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company's financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company annually reviews its financial reporting and disclosure practices and accounting policies to ensure that its financial reporting and disclosures provide accurate and transparent information relative to the current economic and business environment. The Company believes that of its significant accounting policies (see summary of significant accounting policies more fully described in Note 2 to our financial statements), the following policies involve a higher degree of judgment and/or complexity:


Pre-Publication Costs


Pre-publication costs are title development costs including but not limited to authors, illustrators and other artists, narration, audio production, and studio time for recording and mixing final audio products. These costs are capitalized through the date of publication. At the date of publication the costs begin amortization on an accelerated method over their expected revenue generating lives. The accelerated method is based on historical and future expected sales.




14



Prepaid Catalog Costs


Catalogs and brochures are amortized over the period benefited, not to exceed the publication date of the subsequent brochure or twelve months, whichever is less.


Inventory


The Company writes down its inventories for estimated slow moving and obsolete goods based upon historical selling patterns, assumptions about future demand and market conditions. A significant sudden increase in the demand for the Company’s products could result in a short-term increase in the cost of inventory purchases while a significant decrease in demand could result in an increase in the amount of excess inventory quantities on-hand. Additionally, the Company’s estimates of future product demand may prove to be inaccurate, in which case the Company may have understated or overstated the write-down required for excess and obsolete inventory. In the future, if the Company’s inventory is determined to be overvalued, it would be required to recognize such costs in its cost of goods sold at the time of such determination. Likewise, if the Company does not properly estimate the lower of cost or market of its inventory and it is therefore determined to be undervalued, it may have over-reported its cost of goods sold in previous periods and would be required to recognize such additional operating income at the time of sale. Therefore, although the Company makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of its forecasts of future product demand, any significant unanticipated changes in demand could have a significant impact on the value of the Company’s inventory and its reported operating results.

The Company’s children’s publishing operations, sold as of September 3, 2010, suffered recurring losses from operations and had a deficiency in net assets.


On September 3, 2010 the Company closed on its previously-announced transaction and sold substantially all of its assets to MMAC, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“MMAC”), which also assumed certain liabilities of Trudy.

 

The assets sold consisted of Trudy’s on-going business as a publisher of children’s educational story and novelty books, audiobooks and plush toys.

 

The consideration being paid by MMAC for the Company’s assets consists of the following: (1) the assumption of substantially all of the secured and unsecured liabilities of the Company, including loans from an affiliate of MMAC to the Company in the principal amount of $545,000 and with the exception of $2.7 million of personal debt owed to a principal shareholder and Chairman of the Company, William W. Burnham (“Burnham”); and (2) upon the completion of the final calculation of the net asset value of the Company (estimated to be completed approximately 90-120 days from the closing) an equity interest in MMAC, estimated to be in the range of 4.75%, subject, however, to possible adjustment upon the final determination of such net asset value. In view of the initial determination at closing of the Company’s net asset value, the previously announced Buyer Note from MMAC to Trudy in the principal amount of $225,000 was not issued.

 

The amount of such consideration was determined by the Company and MMAC in arm’s length negotiations. Factors taken into consideration in the negotiations included the Company’s then current financial condition and future prospects, the Company’s results of operations, the value of the Company’s assets and the Company’s banking and shareholder obligations, together with those of the Company’s other creditors, both secured and unsecured.

 



15



Upon determination of the final percentage equity interest as described above, MMAC will transfer such equity to the Company which will simultaneously transfer it to Burnham in consideration of the cancellation by Burnham of the $2.7 million of personal debt owed by the Company to him. Excepted from cancellation is $50,000 of debt owed to Burnham which will remain outstanding and which will be repaid to Burnham one year following the closing if and to the extent the Company has not spent the $50,000 of cash it will retain at the closing for general corporate purposes. The $38,399 note is the balance remaining and due to Burnham.

 

At the closing, as required by agreement of the parties, Burnham made a capital contribution to MMAC of cash in the amount of $175,000 and a $25,000 promissory note. Adjustment upward or downward of such $200,000 in the aggregate may be made upon final determination of the net asset value of the Company as of August 26, 2010.

 

Holders of Trudy’s common stock did not receive any payment or distribution with respect to their shares pursuant to the sale of substantially all the Company’s assets.

 

In addition, MMAC entered into a new four year lease with Noreast Management, LLC, a company which is 91% owned by Burnham, for the Company’s current headquarters on substantially the same terms as the current lease with the Company.

 

Ashley Andersen Zantop (“Andersen Zantop”), former CEO and President of the Company, Fell Herdeg (“Herdeg”), former CFO and Secretary of the Company, and Burnham, former Chairman and Director of Corporate Development of the Company, have been retained as employees by MMAC on substantially the same terms as their current employment with the Company. Andersen Zantop will serve as President and CEO of MMAC, Herdeg will serve as CFO of MMAC and Burnham will serve as Director of Corporate Development of MMAC. In addition, Burnham and Andersen Zantop will join the Board of Directors of MMAC.


Please refer to the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 16, 2010.


On September 3, 2010 a group of Trudy shareholders including three Directors and one other employee of the Company sold a controlling interest of Trudy in a private transaction for total consideration of $1.00 to an individual who appointed new management and elected a new Board of Directors. Recognizing this transaction the Company’s Board of Directors and senior management resigned effective September 3, 2010.


At September 30, 2010 the Company had a deficiency of net assets of $5,699 versus a deficiency of $2,320,770 at March 31, 2010. Working capital improved by $3,245,954 from a deficiency of $3,416,653 to a deficiency of $170,699 as of September 30, 2010.  


Accounts payable and accrued expenses associated with assets held for sale decreased $1,497,520 versus the prior year from $1,504,240 to $6,720 at September 30, 2010. Royalties and commissions payable associated with assets held for sale decreased $424,011 versus the prior year from $424,011 at March 31, 2010 to $0 at September 30, 2010. Accounts receivable held for sale decreased from $994,945 at March 31, 2010 to $0 at September 30, 2010.


Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures


There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2010, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer conducted an evaluation of the Company’s critical disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of March 31, 2010. Management updated that evaluation as of September 30, 2010 and identified the following weaknesses:


 

 

 

 

(i)

The Company does not have adequate office and financial staffing in place to effectively control the level of transaction activity and consistently address the complex accounting matters that arise.

 

 

 

 

(ii)

A principal shareholder and Director of the Company who is involved in certain functions of the daily operations of the Company, could in theory override normal operating procedures.

 

 

 

 

(iii)

The Company currently does not have an Audit Committee.




16



Given the above identified matters, with the change in operations and Management, Management believes that disclosure controls and procedures are now effective and these identified matters have been remedied as of September 30, 2010. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, 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 control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the registrant would be detected.
