Azteca Acquisition Corporation

(a development stage company)

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 
 
(1)Organization and Nature of Business Operations

 

Azteca Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) is a Delaware blank check company initially formed in the British Virgin Islands on April 15, 2011 and reincorporated in the State of Delaware on June 8, 2011 for the purpose of, directly or indirectly, effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or engaging in any other similar business combination with one or more businesses or assets (“Business Combination”).

 

The Company is currently evaluating Business Combination targets.  All activity through September 30, 2012 relates to the Company’s formation, initial public offering (“Public Offering”) described below in Note (4) and the identification and investigation of prospective target businesses with which to consummate a Business Combination. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year-end.

 

The registration statement for the Public Offering was declared effective on June 29, 2011. The Company consummated the Public Offering on July 6, 2011 and received net proceeds of approximately $101,218,000, which includes $3,500,000 received for the purchase of 4,666,667 warrants by Azteca Acquisition Holdings, LLC (the “Sponsor”) and is net of non-deferred underwriting commissions of $1,750,000 and $532,000 of offering costs.

 

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward effecting a Business Combination.  For purposes of consummating its initial Business Combination, the Company intends to focus on operating businesses that have their primary operations located in either Mexico or the United States. While the Company may pursue a Business Combination in any business industry or sector, the Company intends to focus on industries or sectors that complement its management team’s background, such as the fields of transportation, industrials, manufacturing, food and beverage, financial services, hospitality, agribusiness, media (including television and newspapers), sports, real estate, energy, and businesses focused on serving the needs of Hispanic markets.

 

(2)Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

a)Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the SEC, and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, three months ended September 30, 2011, and for the period from April 15, 2011 (inception) to September 30, 2011 and from April 15, 2011 (inception) to September 30,2012. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  The results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for a full fiscal year.

 

b)Fair Value of Financial instruments

 

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying condensed interim balance sheets.

 

c)Net Loss Per Share

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss per share by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus to the extent dilutive, the incremental number of shares of common shares to settle warrants held by the Sponsor (see Note (5)), as calculated using the treasury stock method.  Both basic and diluted net loss per share excludes those shares subject to possible redemption. As the Company reported a net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and for the period from April 15, 2011(inception) to September 30, 2012, the effect of the 14,666,667 warrants (including 4,666,667 warrants issued to the member of the Sponsor in the private placement), have not been considered in the diluted loss per common share because their effect would be anti-dilutive.  As a result, dilutive loss per common share is equal to basic loss per common share.

 

7
 

 

d)Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

e)Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

f)Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to amounts previously reported for 2011 to conform with the 2012 presentation. Such reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net loss.

 

g)Restricted Trust Account

 

The amounts held in the Trust Account represent substantially all of the proceeds from the Public Offering and the simultaneous private placement and are classified as restricted assets since these original proceeds of $100,500,000 can only be used by the Company in connection with the consummation of an initial Business Combination with the exception of $3,750,000 in deferred underwriting discounts and commissions payable to the underwriter upon a business combination (see Note 4). The funds held in the Trust Account are primarily invested in United States Treasury securities. Earnings from the proceeds held in the Trust Account may be released to the Company to pay any taxes and to fund working capital requirements, and any amounts necessary to purchase up to 15% of the Company's public shares if the Company seeks stockholder approval of its business combination, as discussed below. None of the funds held in the trust account will be released from the trust account until the earlier of: (1) the consummation of the Company's initial business combination within 21 months from the closing of the Public Offering and (2) a redemption to public stockholders prior to any voluntary winding-up in the event that the Company does not consummate its initial business combination within this 21-month period. At September 30, 2012, $41,061 of the amounts held in the Trust Account were available to fund working capital.

 

h)Investments Held In Trust Account

 

Investment securities consist of United States Treasury securities. The Company classifies its securities as held-to-maturity in accordance with FASB ASC 320 “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities.” Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. Held-to-maturity Treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.

 

A decline in the market value of held-to-maturity securities below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary, results in an impairment that reduces the carrying costs to such securities’ fair value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established. To determine whether an impairment is other than temporary, the Company considers whether it has the ability and intent to hold the investment until a market price recovery and considers whether evidence indicating the cost of the investment is recoverable outweighs evidence to the contrary.

 

Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related held-to-maturity security as an adjustment to yield using the effective-interest method. Such amortization and accretion is included in the “interest income” line item in the statements of operations.  Some Treasury securities were purchased at a small discount during the nine-month period through September 30, 2012, resulting in a non-material accretion of interest income.  Interest income is recognized when earned.

 

i)Redeemable Common Stock

 

As discussed in Note (1), all of the 10,000,000 common shares sold as part of the Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of common shares under the Company’s liquidation or tender offer/stockholder approval provisions. In accordance with ASC 480, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require the security to be classified outside of permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity’s equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of ASC 480. Although the Company does not specify a maximum redemption threshold, its charter provides that in no event will they redeem any of its public shares if the total of such redemption requests would cause its net tangible assets (stockholders’ equity) to be less than $5,000,001. In the event the aggregate cash consideration the Company would be required to pay for all shares that are validly tendered plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the proposed business combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to us, the Company will not consummate the business combination and any shares tendered pursuant to the tender offer will be returned to the holders thereof following the expiration of the tender offer and instead the Company may search for an alternate initial Business Combination.

 

8
 

 

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of the security to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period.  Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock shall be affected by charges against paid-in capital. Accordingly, at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, 9,144,910 and 9,174,209 public shares respectively, are classified outside of permanent equity at its redemption value. The redemption value is equal to the pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest but less franchise and income taxes payable (approximately $10.05 at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011).

 

(3)Liquidation and Going Concern

 

If the Company does not effect a Business Combination within 21 months from the closing of the Public Offering (April 6, 2013), as discussed in Note (4), the Company will liquidate the Trust Account and distribute the amount then held in the trust account, including interest but net of franchise and income taxes payable and less up to $50,000 of such net interest that may be released to the Company from the trust account to pay liquidation expenses, to the Company’s public stockholders, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. This mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustment has been made in the condensed interim financial statements to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities which could result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

(4)Public Offering

 

The Public Offering called for the Company to offer for sale 10,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit (each, a “Unit”). Each Unit consists of one share of common stock of the Company, and one warrant (each, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock of the Company at a price of $12.00 per share. The Warrants will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or twelve months from the closing of the Public Offering, provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available, and will expire five years after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the common stock issuable upon exercise of the public Warrants has not been declared effective within 60 business days following the closing of our initial Business Combination, Warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise Warrants on a cashless basis. If the Company is unable to deliver registered shares of common stock to the holder upon exercise of Warrants during the exercise period, or if Warrant holders did not exercise their Warrants on a cashless basis under the above provision, there will be no cash settlement of the Warrants and the Warrants will expire worthless. Once the Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Warrants in whole and not in part at a price of $0.01 per Warrant upon a minimum of 30 days prior written notice of redemption, only in the event that the last sales price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending on the third business day before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders.

 

A contingent fee equal to 3.75% of the gross offering proceeds from the Public Offering  will become payable to Deutsche Bank Securities (the “Underwriter”) from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event the Company consummates its initial Business Combination.

 

The Underwriter was also granted a 45-day option (August 15, 2011) to purchase up to an additional 1,500,000 Units to cover over-allotments, if any.  The Underwriter did not exercise the over-allotment option and as such the Sponsor forfeited 375,000 of the Founder Shares (as defined in Note (5) below).

 

(5)Related Party Transactions

 

a)Note Payable — Related Party

 

The Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor for an aggregate of $100,000 on April 20, 2011. The note was non-interest bearing and was payable on the earlier of March 31, 2012 or the date on which the Company consummated the Public Offering.  This note was repaid in full on July 7, 2011.

 

b)Services Agreement

 

The Company has agreed to pay $10,000 a month for office space, utilities, administrative services and secretarial support to Galco, Inc., an affiliate of the Sponsor. Services commenced on June 30, 2011, the date the securities were first quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board quotation system, and will terminate upon the earlier of the consummation by the Company of an initial Business Combination and the liquidation of the Company.  The Company paid $90,000 and $150,000 under this agreement for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and for the period June 30, 2011 (the date the Company’s securities were first quoted on the OTCBB) to September 30, 2012, respectively.

c)Sponsor Warrants

 

The Sponsor purchased, in a private placement, 4,666,667 warrants simultaneously with the closing of the Public Offering on July 6, 2011, at a price of $0.75 per warrant (a purchase price of $3,500,000) from the Company, proceeds of which are being held in the Trust Account. Our Sponsor subsequently transferred the Sponsor Warrants to Brener International Group, LLC, an affiliate of our Sponsor. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, then these proceeds will be part of the liquidating distribution to the public stockholders and the warrants issued to the Sponsor will expire worthless. The Company classifies the private placement warrants within permanent equity as additional paid-in capital in accordance with FASB ASC 815-40.

 

d)Founder Shares

 

On April 15, 2011, the Sponsor purchased 2,875,000 shares of common stock (“Founder Shares”) for an aggregate amount of $25,000, or $0.0087 per share. On June 8, 2011, the sponsor transferred 50,000 shares to each of John Engelman and Alfredo Elias Ayub, its two independent directors, for nominal consideration (the Sponsor and Messrs. Engelman and Elias together are the “initial stockholders”).

 

The Founder Shares are identical to the common stock included in the Units that were sold in the Public Offering except that the Founder Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below. The Sponsor agreed to and did forfeit 375,000 Founder Shares after the Underwriter informed the Company that it would not exercise any of the over-allotment option described in Note (4) above.

 

(6)Investments Held In Trust Account

 

Upon the closing of the Public Offering and the simultaneous private placement of the Sponsor warrants, a total of $100,500,000 was placed in the Trust Account. As of September 30, 2012, investment securities in the Company’s Trust Account consisted of $100,534,947 in U.S. government Treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less. In addition, the Trust Account included $6,114 and $477 of cash as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The carrying amount, excluding accrued interest income, gross unrealized holding gains and fair value of held-to-maturity securities at September 30, 2012, was as follows:

 

   Carrying
Amount
   Gross
Unrealized
Holding Gain
   Fair Value 
Held-to-maturity:               
United States Treasury Securities  $100,534,947   $17,577   $100,552,524 

 

The carrying amount, excluding accrued interest income, gross unrealized holding gains and fair value of held-to-maturity securities at December 31, 2011, was as follows:

 

   Carrying
Amount
   Gross
Unrealized
Holding Gain
   Fair Value 
Held-to-maturity:               
United States Treasury Securities  $100,501,837   $(491)  $100,501,346 

 

(7)Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company has adopted ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement”, for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. The adoption of ASC 820 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

The following tables present information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset, and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset:

References to the “Company,” “us” or “we” refer to Azteca Acquisition Corporation.  The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the interim financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q (“Report”). Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

 

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-Q including, without limitation, statements under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” regarding our financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward looking statements. When used in this Form 10-Q, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, identify forward looking statements. Such forward looking statements are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management.

Overview

 

We are a newly organized blank check company formed on June 8, 2011 for the purpose of, directly or indirectly effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or engaging in any other similar business combination with one or more businesses or assets (a “Business Combination”). We were originally formed under the laws of the British Virgin Islands on April 15, 2011. We filed a certificate of conversion and a certificate of incorporation in the State of Delaware on June 8, 2011, changing our place of incorporation from the British Virgin Islands to Delaware.  We consummated our initial public offering (the “Public Offering”) on July 6, 2011. We are not limited to a particular industry, geographic region or minimum transaction value for purposes of consummating an initial Business Combination.  Notwithstanding, we intend to focus on operating businesses that have their primary operations located in either Mexico or the United States. While we may pursue an acquisition opportunity in any business industry or sector, we intend to focus on industries or sectors that complement our management team’s background, such as the fields of transportation, industrials, manufacturing, food and beverage, financial services, hospitality, agribusiness, media (including television and newspapers), sports, real estate and energy, and businesses focused on serving the needs of the Hispanic markets.

 

Results of Operations

 

For the period from April 15, 2011 (inception) through September 30, 2012 we had a net loss of $586,937, including a net loss of $61,141 and $294,459 for the periods from June 30, 2012 to September 30, 2012 and January 1, 2012 to September 30, 2012, respectively.

 

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date.  All activity through September 30, 2012 relates to our formation, our private placements and Public Offering, the identification and evaluation of prospective candidates for an initial Business Combination, and general corporate matters.  Since the completion of our Public Offering, we have not generated any operating revenues and will not until after completion of our initial Business Combination, at the earliest.  We may generate small amounts of non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents, but such income is not expected to be significant in view of the current low yields on Treasury securities.   We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

On July 6, 2011, we consummated our Public Offering of 10,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit. Simultaneously with the consummation of our Public Offering, we consummated the private sale of 4,666,667 warrants (the “Sponsor Warrants”) to Azteca Acquisition Holdings, LLC (our “Sponsor”) for $3,500,000. Our Sponsor subsequently transferred the Sponsor Warrants to Brener International Group, LLC, an affiliate of our Sponsor. We received net proceeds from our Public Offering and the sale of the Sponsor Warrants of $101,218,289, net of the non-deferred portion of the underwriting commissions of $1,750,000 and offering costs and other expenses of $531,711.  Upon the closing of the Public Offering and the private placement, $100,500,000 was placed into a Trust Account.  As of September 30, 2012, investment securities in our Trust Account consisted of $100,534,947 in U.S. government Treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less. The Trust Account also had $6,113 in cash as of September 30, 2012.  Out of the proceeds of our Public Offering which remained available outside of the Trust Account, we obtained officers and directors insurance covering a 12 month period from June 27, 2011 through December 31, 2012 for a cost of $100,192, with a prepaid balance at September 30, 2012 of $16,064.

 

As of September 30, 2012, we had a cash and cash equivalent balance of $142,162, held outside of our Trust Account, which is available for use by us to cover the costs associated with identifying a target business and negotiating a business transaction and other general corporate uses.

 

For the period from April 15, 2011 (inception) to September 30, 2012, we used cash of $560,065 in operating activities, which was largely attributable to a net loss for the period of $586,937 and the payment of officers’ and directors’ insurance, which had a prepaid balance of $16,064. During the first nine months of 2012, we used cash of $324,894 in operating activities, which was largely attributable to a net loss for the period of $294,459.

 

13
 

 

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account (net of taxes and amounts released to us for working capital purposes) to consummate our initial Business Combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to consummate our initial Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategy.

 

We believe that we have sufficient funds available to complete our efforts to effect an initial Business Combination within 21 months from the date of our Public Offering. To meet our working capital needs, our Sponsor, an affiliate of our Sponsor, or our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds, from time to time, or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in its, his or her sole discretion, which may be convertible into warrants of the post business transaction entity at a price of $0.75 per warrant at the option of the lender, up to a limit of $500,000. The warrants would be identical to the Sponsor warrants. The terms of such loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist.

 

We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds until the consummation of our initial Business Combination to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, we may need to raise additional funds through a private offering of debt or equity securities if such funds are required to consummate an initial Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only consummate such financing simultaneously with the consummation of our initial Business Combination.

 

Off-balance sheet financing arrangements

 

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Contractual obligations

 

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities other than a monthly fee of $10,000 payable to Galco, Inc., an affiliate of our Sponsor, for office space, secretarial and administrative services.

 

We began incurring these fees on June 30, 2011 (the date the Company’s securities were first quoted on the OTCBB) and will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the consummation of an initial Business Combination or (ii) the liquidation of the Company.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of interim financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies:

 

Investments Held in Trust Account:

 

Upon the closing of our Public Offering and private placement in July 2011, $100,500,000 was placed into a Trust Account with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company serving as trustee. As of September 30, 2012, investment securities in our Trust Account consisted of $100,534,947 in U.S. government Treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less. The Trust Account also included $6,113 of cash.

 

Net loss per common share:

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss per share by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus to the extent dilutive, the incremental number of shares of common shares to settle warrants held by an affiliate of the Sponsor (see Note (4) of the Financial Statements), as calculated using the treasury stock method.  As the Company reported a net loss for the period from April 15, 2011 (inception) to September 30, 2012, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the effect of the 14,666,667 warrants (including 4,666,667 warrants issued to the members of the Sponsor in the private placement), have not been considered in the diluted loss per common share because their effect would be anti-dilutive.  As a result, dilutive loss per common share is equal to basic loss per common share.

 

14
 

 

Offering costs:

 

Offering costs consisting principally of legal, accounting, underwriting and filing fees incurred through the balance sheet date that were related to the public offering and private placements have been charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of our public offering.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements:

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s interim financial statements.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We were incorporated in Delaware on June 8, 2011 for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination. We were considered in the development stage at September 30, 2012 and had not yet commenced any operations or generated any revenues. All activity through September 30, 2012 relates to our formation, our Public Offering, the identification and evaluation of prospective candidates for an initial Business Combination, and general corporate matters.   The net proceeds of the Public Offering and the private placement in July 2011 were placed into a trust account and invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 having a maturity of 180 days or less.  Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there is no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Co-Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Co-Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2012. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Co-Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.

 

During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations.

 

As of the date of this Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report filed on March 21, 2012 filed with the SEC, except we may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
