Note 1
Organization, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
   
 
Organization
   
 
We were incorporated in the state of Nevada on December 22, 2006. Our fiscal year end is December 31.
   
 
Successor company references herein are referring to consolidated information pertaining to Incoming, Inc., the registrant.
   
 
Predecessor company references herein relate to North American Bio-Energies, LLC, the former owner and manager of the biodiesel production facility (doing business as Foothills Bio-Energies), and its operations at the facility located in Lenoir, North Carolina.
   
 
Reclassifications
   
 
We have reclassified certain prior-year amounts to conform to the current year’s presentation.
   
 
Consolidation
   
 
The accompanying consolidated successor financial statements represent the consolidated operations of Incoming, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary North American Bio-Energies, LLC. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
   
 
Basis of Presentation – Successor
   
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2011 included herein have been prepared without an audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of Management of Incoming, Inc. (the “Company”, “us”, “our”, or “we”), all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the November 30, 2010 audited financial statements and notes thereto. The balance sheet at November 30, 2010 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2010. Additionally, the Company changed its fiscal year end to December 31 during the first quarter of 2011. Results of operations during the one-month period covering the transition period (December 2010) are included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2011. The results of operations for the three-month period and nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year.

Basis of Presentation – Predecessor
   
 
These financial statements include the accounts of NABE. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared to present the statements of financial position of NABE and statements of operations and cash flows of NABE for inclusion in the Company’s Form 10-Q for purposes of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission as required by S-X Rule 8-02. These statements include only those assets, liabilities and related operations of NABE. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America using NABE-specific information where available. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Form 8-K filed on August 24, 2010.
 
 
Revenue Recognition – Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”)
   
 
As a means for ensuring renewable fuels were being blended with petroleum products for consumption in the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) created a mechanism for holding obligated parties (refiners and importers) accountable. This mechanism requires that obligated parties annually demonstrate they have met the EPA’s minimum renewable fuel blending limits, which are established annually and referenced as the renewable volume obligation (“RVO”). Companies demonstrate compliance with the RVO by accumulating and submitting RIN-gallons annually to the EPA. RINs may be generated at renewable fuel production facilities and essentially function as commodities capable of being “separated” from the fuel and traded on an active market.
   
 
NABE typically transfers RINs to its customers at the time of biodiesel sale. Transferring RINs takes place through the EPA Moderated Transaction System (“EMTS”). It is through the EMTS that the EPA is ultimately capable of tracking the RIN transfer activity. As RINs are separated from their respective gallons, they may be re-sold multiple times before finally arriving in the possession of an obligated party. For those customers who do not wish to participate in the EPA’s renewable fuel program, NABE offers the option for separating the RINs and handling all of the required EMTS administration.
   
 
Once RINs have been separate from biodiesel, NABE has the option of selling the commodities directly to obligated parties or selling them to brokers. To date, all of NABE’s RIN sales have been to brokers due to the smaller quantities that have been available. Brokers will often aggregate RINs from multiple parties and then sell them to obligated parties. RIN market values fluctuate daily and are readily determinable from online sources. NABE offers buyers a 10-day return policy. NABE recognizes revenue from sales of RINs after the parties have established a sales price, the RINs have been transferred to the buyer through the EMTS, the related revenue is deemed realizable and the return period has expired.

Note 2
Going Concern
   
 
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $248,564, and had accumulated a deficit of $4,143,959. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $227,708, and had accumulated a deficit of $5,236,034. Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time. These factors raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The Company to date has funded its initial operations through the issuance of capital stock and common stock options, loans from related parties, and revenue generated in the normal course of business. Management plans to continue to provide for its capital needs by the issuance of common stock and related party advances. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 3
Change in Fiscal Year
   
 
On February 14, 2011, the Company changed its fiscal year end from November 30th to December 31st. In addition to the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, this Form 10-Q covers the transition period commencing December 1, 2010 and ending on December 31, 2010. Notice of the election of a change in fiscal year was made on Form 8-K, filed on February 16, 2011.

Note 4
Related Party Transactions
   
 
During the first nine months of 2011, the Company repaid $87,500 to Echols Oil Company (“Echols”), leaving a remaining balance of $10,000 still due. The Company’s current Chairman and CEO, R. Samuel Bell, Jr. is the owner of Echols.
   
 
NABE sells a portion of its finished goods to Verde Bio Fuels and Echols Oil Company, companies owned by Incoming, Inc’s CEO, R. Samuel Bell, Jr. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, sales to the related companies were $183,097. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had outstanding receivables from these companies of $321,676.

Note 5
Equity Transactions
   
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, Incoming consummated the following equity transactions:

 
1.
Issued 375,000 Class A Common shares in exchange for services valued at $31,875 during January, 2011.
     
 
2.
The Company amended its Articles of Incorporation on March 3, 2011 to provide each holder of Class B Common Stock with the right to convert, at the holder’s election, one share of Class B Common Stock into one share of Class A Common Stock. The effective date of the Certificate of Amendment was March 17, 2011. The Company determined that the fair value of the Class B Common Stock did not exceed the fair value of the Class A Common Stock on the date of the amendment and therefore no additional value was given to the holders of the Class B Common Stock as a result of the amendment.
     
 
3.
On June 9, 2011, the Company granted 2,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to a director with a fair value of $300,000. 250,000 of the shares vested immediately and 250,000 shares vest every 90 days through March 2012. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had issued 1,000,000 Class A Common shares in conjunction with this grant and recognized $233,332 of stock-based compensation during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

The following discussion is an overview of the important factors that management focuses on in evaluating our businesses, financial condition and operating performance and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward looking statements as a result of any number of factors, including those set forth in this Quarterly Report and elsewhere in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and other public filings.

All written and oral forward-looking statements made in connection with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. Given the uncertainties that surround such statements, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

Going Concern

The financial statements presented in this document have been prepared on a going-concern basis. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $227,708, and had an accumulated deficit of $5,236,034 since inception. Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time. These factors raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.

The Company has funded its initial operations through the issuance of capital stock and loans from the former director and related parties. Management plans to continue to provide for the Company’s capital needs through the issuance of common stock and through related party advances. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

We do not expect to generate sufficient revenue to sustain operation during the next twelve months. Consequently, we will continue to depend on additional financing in order to maintain our operations and continue with our corporate activities. Based on these uncertainties, our independent auditors included additional comments in their report on our financial statements for the period from inception (December 22, 2006) to November 30, 2010, indicating substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that led to this disclosure by our independent auditors. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Company Overview

NABE is a refiner and producer of commercial-grade biodiesel as specified by the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM D6751). Our refining and production facility is located in Lenoir, North Carolina with a nameplate annual capacity of five million gallons. Our facility produces biodiesel from virgin, agri-based feedstock using commercial specifications. The biodiesel we produce is sold throughout North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia directly or through wholesale distributors. Currently, we are engaged in producing biodiesel and strategically purchasing biodiesel from other producers to meet commercial requirements. We are also selling glycerin that is created as a byproduct of the biodiesel production process. Once the facility has accumulated sufficient glycerin to make full loads, it is intended that the product will be sold to the market.
 
 
10

 
 
Our production process starts with purchasing the most cost effective and suitable agri-based feedstock (e.g., soy, canola, sunflower, cotton seed and chicken/pork fat). A sample of every feedstock is then tested by our in-house laboratory in order to develop the proper recipe of catalysts for the transesterification process. Glycerin, a byproduct, is then separated from the biodiesel and any excess methanol is recovered. The recovered methanol is reused in the production process and the glycerin is sold on the open market. While biodiesel is our main product, glycerin is a popular chemical used in pharmaceutical and hygiene applications and serves as an additional source of revenue.

Our facility is capable of producing biodiesel from a wide range of agri-based feedstocks: soy, canola, sunflower, cotton seed and chicken/pork fat. Biodiesel production costs are highly dependent on the cost of feedstock, and we believe the ability to utilize a variety of feedstocks efficiently and interchangeably is imperative to gaining a competitive advantage in the biodiesel production market.

Our goal is to become the leading diversified energy company with divisions in production, blending, marketing and distribution. We continue to pursue an acquisition plan that includes the expansion into Brazil’s renewable energy market. Government mandates, strong tax incentives and an auction-based selling platform make Brazil, in management’s view, a potentially profitable climate for clean energy.

Major Performance Factors

Revenue

We derive the majority of our revenue from the sale of biodiesel and the balance is derived from the sale of glycerin. Additional revenue may be generated from selling RINs, when available. Revenue may be affected by the following factors:

 
- Price volatility of petroleum diesel;
 
- Price volatility of RINs;
 
- Government incentives;
 
- Processing capacity; and
 
- Market demand.

Price volatility of petroleum diesel. Biodiesel is primarily used in blends with petroleum diesel as heating oil and as a fuel for trucks, automobiles, and marine transportation. Biodiesel can be mixed at any level with petroleum diesel to create a biodiesel blend. Unlike ethanol, where engines need to be modified to handle blend ratios above 10%, biodiesel blends can be used in diesel engines without modifications. Petroleum diesel is a traded commodity and subject to daily pricing swings. The price that we can charge our customers for biodiesel needs to be competitive with the price of petroleum diesel fuel, regardless of our cost to produce.

Price volatility of RINs. Under certain circumstances, the EPA allows producers to separate RINs from the biodiesel to which it was initially assigned. The production facility in Lenoir, NC has successfully registered with EPA to generate RINs (type: D-Code = 4) along with the biodiesel it produces. For those RINs that NABE is able to separate and sell, the selling price is subject to factors affecting the RIN market, which performs much like a commodity market with daily price swings.

Government incentives. The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 provided for a biodiesel fuel credit of $1.00 to a biodiesel fuel blender for each gallon of biodiesel produced by the taxpayer and sold to another person. Our customers are biodiesel blenders who purchase the biodiesel from us at a price of $1.00 per gallon in excess of the market price of petroleum and then our customers are reimbursed the $1.00 per gallon from the federal government. There is an additional $0.10 per gallon tax credit for small producers (not to exceed 60 million gallons per year) using virgin vegetable oils and animal fats. Our facility has passed all necessary inspections and complied with the applicable regulations to be eligible for both programs.
 
 
11

 
 
The blender credit expired December 31, 2009 at the end of the tax year and was not renewed for the majority of calendar year 2010. In December of 2010, the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 retroactively restored the biodiesel tax credit for all of 2010 and further extended it through December 31, 2011. Although Congress has extended this credit on multiple occasions, no assurance can be given that the tax incentive will be further extended by Congress.

Processing capacity. Our current annual maximum (assuming the facility is running 24 hours a day, 350 days per year) or “nameplate” capacity is 5.0 million gallons; however, our highest production output was 914,000 gallons in 2009. Production volume decreased during 2010 due to the biodiesel tax credit expiring on December 31, 2009. As a result, the market price of biodiesel effectively increased by $1.00. Profit margins were eliminated forcing management to pursue other revenue generating sources, such as, refining the glycerin stored at the Company’s facilities as well as purchasing off-specification product from neighboring plants. As a result of the renewal of the biodiesel tax credit and with additional funding from investors, our 2011 processing capacity has increased significantly. During the first nine months of 2011, we have sold approximately 252,000 gallons of biodiesel. Feedstock availability will certainly impact our ability to increase production throughout the remainder of the year.

Market demand. The growth potential of our revenue depends on the market demand for our products. We believe there is high growth potential for our sales given the increase of national “green” initiatives, the cooperation of U.S. auto manufacturers and the mandate by the EPA to require the use of 800 million gallons of biodiesel in 2011.

Cost of Sales

The cost of sales is composed of the following items: raw materials, blending materials, labor and overhead. Raw materials refer to feedstock, which accounts for approximately 70% of the total cost of sales. Blending materials refer to methanol and catalyst, which combined account for approximately 12% of the total cost of sales. Labor cost is low and only makes up a small portion of the cost of sales. Overhead includes utilities, maintenance costs, and inspections, and accounts for approximately 16% of the total cost of sales.

Cost of sales is, directly or indirectly, determined by the following factors:

 
- The availability and pricing of feedstock; and
 
- Operating efficiency of the production facility.

The availability and pricing of feedstock. Our ability to produce or refine biodiesel from a variety of agri-based feedstocks allows us to shift production to the highest yielding feedstocks based on market prices. While this diversity limits exposure to volatile markets, feedstock remains the major cost of sales item and its fluctuation will have a material impact on our total cost. Transportation costs also affect the overall feedstock cost, but are minimized due to the location of our facility in North Carolina. There are readily available supplies of local feedstock materials including soy oil, canola oil, sunflower oil and animal (chicken and pork) fats. Competition with the food and animal feed industries may keep feedstock prices high even while biodiesel prices fall.

Operating efficiency of the production facility. Our onsite laboratory saves us significant time and expense during the biodiesel production and refining process. It also allows us to ensure a high quality finished product. All feedstocks are tested for quality and for their fatty acid levels upon receipt, allowing us to adjust the mix of catalysts and methanol in a quick and efficient manner. At multiple times during the refining process, additional samples are taken and tested for quality on site. The finished product is ultimately tested to ensure that it meets the ASTM-D6751 standards. With the frequency of testing needed, an onsite laboratory saves money and time that would have been spent sending samples off and waiting for results.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses consist of selling expenses and general and administrative expenses. Generally, operating expenses are only a small portion of total costs and expenses.

Selling expenses are nominal as we have no advertising expenses and no sales staff due to our verbal off-take agreements with related party distributors.

General and administrative expenses consist of payroll for our plant manager and clerical staff in addition to professional fees, stock based compensation, telephone, tax, and licenses and related fees. Professional fees include independent accountants and legal advisors associated with operating as a public company.

The following is a discussion and analysis of our results of operations for the three-month period and nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, and the factors that could affect our future financial condition. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. All references to dollar amounts in this section are in United States dollars unless expressly stated otherwise.

(1) Variable rate term loan dated November 7, 2006 in the original principal amount of $250,000 payable to BB&T Bank by NABE in monthly principal and interest installments of $4,805. Interest is calculated at a variable rate equal to prime plus one percent.

As of September 30, 2011, our post-acquisition current assets totaling $733,523 consisted of cash, accounts receivable, inventory, tax credits receivable, other current assets and prepaid expenses. Our post-acquisition accounts payable and accrued liabilities and current portion of amounts due to related parties and third parties were $961,231 as of September 30, 2011. As a result, we had a working capital deficiency of $227,708.

Current assets for the Successor totaled $450,640 for the period ended September 30, 2010. Current liabilities for the Successor totaled $836,482 as of September 30, 2010, which resulted in a working capital deficiency of $385,482.

Comparing the working capital deficiency at September 30, 2011 to the deficiency at September 30, 2010, there is a decrease of $158,134 as the deficiency reduced from $385,482 to $227,708. The primary contributors to the overall decrease were higher selling prices for RINs and selling corporate stock.

On a short-term basis, it is anticipated that the Company’s liquidity needs will be met through selling biodiesel and RIN-gallons, through borrowing from related party and through the sale of common stock. NABE’s period-over-period sales have increased comparing the first nine months of 2011 to the first nine months of 2010. In addition, RIN sales have increased approximately $523,000 over the same periods of comparison. Considering the long-term view, the Company intends to provide liquidity through operation of its biodiesel plant in Lenoir, North Carolina. If the Company is able to successfully partner with existing biodiesel production facilities in Brazil, the associated sales will generate additional liquidity.

To date, cash flow requirements have been primarily met through sales of biodiesel related products, through collections of accounts receivable, through share issuances, and through gross proceeds from bank and related party loans. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company generated a gross profit of $152,762 on sales of $825,830 over the same period. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Predecessor and Successor had a gross loss of ($38,530) on sales of $42,566 over the same period.

As of September 30, 2011, NABE had outstanding balances on bank borrowings of $190,812, which originally totaled $350,000 when the loans were first executed. As of September 30, 2010, NABE had an outstanding balance of $19,306 on a single bank loan and another outstanding balance of $230,377 on a term loan that resulted from the conversion of its line of credit.

At September 30, 2011, NABE had an outstanding liability of $10,000 with a related party. Due to payments made during the first three quarters of 2011, this balance is $87,500 less than the September 30, 2010 balance of $97,500 that was owed to the related party.

A portion of the Company’s operations have been funded through the issuance of stock shares. As of September 30, 2011, the Company has issued 30,004,332 shares of capital stock (28,024,332 shares of Class A stock and 1,980,000 shares of Class B stock).

We expect to incur losses as the business expands. Management expects to keep operational costs to a minimum until cash is available through financing or operating activities. Management plans to continue to seek other sources of financing on favorable terms; however, there are no assurances that any such financing can be obtained on favorable terms, if at all. If we are unable to generate sufficient profits or are unable to obtain additional funds for our working capital needs, we may need to cease or curtail operations. Moreover, there is no assurance that the net proceeds from any successful financing arrangement will be sufficient to cover cash requirements during the initial stages of the Company’s operations. For these reasons, our registered auditors believe that there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.

Cash Provided By (Used In) Operating Activities

During the period January 1, 2011 through September 30, 2011, the Successor’s cash used in operating activities totaled $67,980. For the same period, the Successor’s cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to the net effect of making credit sales and an increasing balance in the tax credits receivable from blending activities. Trade receivables increased $155,434 while inventories increased $74,257. NABE’s tax credits receivable increased $63,640 during the period under consideration. Payables increased $129,127 for the same period.

During the period January 1, 2010 through August 23, 2010, the Predecessor’s cash provided by operating activities totaled $71,290. For the Predecessor during the period under consideration, cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to profitably re-processing and selling out-of-specification biodiesel that had been purchased from neighboring plants.

For the period August 24, 2010 through September 30, 2010, the Successor’s cash used in operating activities totaled $25,150. For the same period, the Successor’s cash used in operating activities was primarily the result of increased professional fees ($79,568) being offset by the recognition of $195,418 in stock-based compensation for consulting services and an increase in payables of $89,770 for the same period.

Cash Provided By (Used In) Investing Activities

During the period January 1, 2011 through September 30, 2011, the Successor’s cash used in investing activities totaled $36,912. This amount primarily represents plant-wide efforts to improve operating efficiency through insulating equipment and piping at the biodiesel production facility in Lenoir, NC.

During the period January 1, 2010 through August 23, 2010, the Predecessor’s cash used in investing activities totaled $22,434. For the Predecessor during the period under consideration, cash used in investing activities was chiefly the result of making payments on filtration equipment, which was recorded as construction in progress.

For the period August 24, 2010 through September 30, 2010, the Successor had no cash provided by investing activities.

Cash Provided By (Used In) Financing Activities

During the period January 1, 2011 through September 30, 2011, the Successor’s cash provided by financing activities totaled $67,390. This amount represents repayment of $87,500 in related party debt, proceeds from the sale of stock of $200,000 and payments totaling $45,110 on long-term debt to third-party creditors.

During the period January 1, 2010 through August 23, 2010, the Predecessor’s cash used in financing activities totaled $24,827. For the Predecessor during the period under consideration, cash used in financing activities represented payments on long-term debt obligations to third-party creditors.

For the period August 24, 2010 through September 30, 2010, the Successor’s cash used in financing activities totaled $10,170. This amount represents payments on long-term debt to third-party creditors.

Future Financings

We anticipate that additional funding will be required in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund our marketing plan and operations. At this time, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock or through a loan from our directors to meet our obligations over the next twelve months. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not expect any financial statement impact from any recently-issued pronouncements.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 
(a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, the CEO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2011. We have identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting:

Lack of Independent Board of Directors and Audit Committee

Management is aware that an audit committee composed of the requisite number of independent members along with a qualified financial expert has not yet been established. Considering the costs associated with procuring and providing the infrastructure to support an independent audit committee and the limited number of transactions, management has concluded that the risks associated with the lack of an independent audit committee are not sufficient to justify the creation of such a committee at this time. Management will periodically reevaluate this situation.

Lack of Segregation of Duties
Management is aware that there is a lack of segregation of duties at the Company due to the small number of employees dealing with general administrative and financial matters. However, at this time management has decided that considering the abilities of the employees now involved and the control procedures in place, the risks associated with such lack of segregation are low and the potential benefits of adding employees to clearly segregate duties do not justify the substantial expenses associated with such increases. Management will periodically reevaluate this situation.

 
(b)
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
