2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2012-02 (“ASU 2012-02”), Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. The amendments in the Update are intended to reduce cost and complexity by providing an entity the option to make a qualitative assessment about the likelihood that an indefinite-lived intangible asset, other than goodwill, is impaired to determine whether it should perform a qualitative impairment test. The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The amendments of ASU 2012-02 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

3. Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Flow Information

The Company paid interest of approximately $24,000 and $61,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company also paid federal and state income taxes of approximately $0 and $100,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

In connection with the acquisition of Informative Design Partners on July 31, 2012, the Company issued 497,512 shares of its common stock for $400,000.

 

4. Business Combinations

Acquisition of Informative Design Partners

On July 31, 2012, the Company acquired certain assets of Informative Design Partners (“IDP”) for an initial payment of $1 million, comprised of $600,000 in cash and $400,000 in common stock, plus contingent consideration of $2.0 million to be paid over three years based on the earnings achieved from the acquired business.

 

5. Employee Stock Compensation Plans

The Board of Directors may grant options under the Avatech Solutions, Inc. 2002 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of not less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. The Plan provided for the granting of either incentive or non-qualified stock options to purchase an aggregate of up to 7,800,000 shares of common stock to eligible employees, officers, and directors of the Company. Stock options generally expire after 10 years. Options generally vest ratably over three or four years, depending on the specific grant award. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, total stock compensation expense charged against income for this Plan was $63,000.

Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

A summary of stock option activity during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and related information is included in the table below:

The Company has incurred various capital lease obligations for computer equipment purchased in prior years. This capital lease obligation totaled $833,000 and $904,000 as of September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, respectively.

 

8. Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets is recorded if based upon the weight of available evidence it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company records liabilities for income tax contingencies if it is probable that the Company has incurred a tax liability and the liability or range of loss can be reasonably estimated.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012, the Company recognized the realizable portion of the Company’s U.S. net operating loss carryforwards as a deferred tax asset. The Company previously had created a valuation allowance against the entire amount of net operating loss carryforwards, recognizing no deferred tax asset because it did not have a sufficient history of profitable operations to support the recognition of the asset. Since the Company established a sufficient history of consecutive profitable quarters, and projects continuing profits, the valuation allowance against the U.S. net operating loss carryforwards was reduced in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 by $4.3 million to recognize the portion

of the net operating loss carryforwards projected to be utilized prior to expiration. The Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance on the entirety of its U.S. capital loss carryforwards and state net operating loss carryforwards due to uncertainty about its ability to utilize such carryforwards.

The Company believes that its income tax filing positions taken or expected to be taken in its tax returns will more likely than not be sustained upon audit by the taxing authorities and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded. The Company’s income tax returns for the past three years are subject to examination by tax authorities, and may change upon examination.

The Company records interest related to taxes in other expense and records penalties in operating expenses.

 

9. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share include the potential dilution that would occur from common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants and the conversion of preferred stock. There is no dilutive effect on earnings (loss) per share during loss periods. As of September 30, 2012, 5,577,684 shares of common stock were issuable upon the conversion or exercise of options, warrants and preferred stock. For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, there were 2,724,011 and 4,174,448 shares of common stock equivalents, respectively, excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive.

The following summarizes the computations of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011:

10. Preferred Stock

Convertible Preferred Stock

At September 30, 2012, 384,495 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D shares”) were outstanding with the following terms:

Redemption Feature- The Series D shares are redeemable in the event that the Company is engaged in certain business combinations that are approved by the Board of Directors and subsequently submitted and approved by a vote of the Company’s stockholders. Any director who holds shares of Series D is not eligible to vote on the proposed business combination. The redemption price is $0.30 (upon conversion) per

share plus an amount equal to all declared and unpaid dividends accrued on such shares since the original issue date.

Voting Rights- Each holder of the Series D shares shall vote together with all other classes and series of stock of the Company as a single class on all actions. Each share shall entitle the holder to one vote per share of common stock into which the preferred stock is then convertible on each such action. In addition, these holders have special voting rights in connection with certain matters, including the issuance of senior stock or debentures, certain mergers, the dissolution of the Company and any amendment to the charter or the terms of the securities that would impair their rights.

Dividend Rate- The holders of the Series D shares are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at a rate of 10% per annum when and as declared by the Board of Directors. Dividends are paid quarterly to preferred stockholders.

Conversion Feature- The Series D shares are convertible at any time beginning 120 days after the original issuance date at the option of the holder and automatically converts into common stock if the common stock trades for more than $2.25 per share for 60 consecutive trading days. Each Series D share is convertible into shares of common stock by multiplying the appropriate conversion rate in effect by the number of shares of preferred stock being converted. As of September 30, 2012, the conversion rate would yield two shares of common stock for each share of Series D share; however, this rate may be adjusted due to stock splits, dividends, and other events defined in the stock purchase agreement between the Company and the holders of the Series D shares.

Liquidation Preference- In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of Series D shares are entitled to receive for each share, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds to the holders of common stock, an amount equal to $0.60 per share plus all accumulated but unpaid dividends. If upon the occurrence of such event, the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders are insufficient to permit the payment of the preferential amount, then the entire assets and funds of the Company legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the preferred stockholders.

At September 30, 2012, 862 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series E shares”) were outstanding with the following terms:

Redemption Feature- The Series E shares are redeemable in the event that the Company is engaged in certain business combinations that are approved by the Board of Directors and subsequently submitted and approved by a vote of the Company’s stockholders.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE RELATED NOTES THERETO INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS REPORT.

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers of this report should be aware of the speculative nature of “forward-looking statements.” Statements that are not historical in nature, including those that include the words “anticipate,” “estimate,” “should,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” and similar expressions, are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about, among other things, the industry and the markets in which Rand Worldwide, Inc. operates, and they are not guarantees of future performance. Whether actual results will conform to expectations and predictions is subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including risks and uncertainties discussed in this report; general economic, market, or business conditions; changes in interest rates, the cost of funds, and demand for the Company’s products and services; changes in the Company’s competitive position or competitive actions by other companies; the Company’s ability to manage growth; changes in laws or regulations or policies of federal and state regulators and agencies; ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses; and other circumstances beyond the Company’s control. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this report are qualified by these cautionary statements, and there can be no assurance that the actual results anticipated will be realized or, if substantially realized, will have the expected consequences on the Company’s business or operations. Except as required by applicable laws, the Company does not intend to publish updates or revisions of any forward-looking statements to reflect new information, future events or otherwise.

When used throughout this report, the terms “Rand Worldwide”, “the Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Rand Worldwide, Inc. and, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, its consolidated subsidiaries.

Overview

Rand Worldwide is a leader in design, engineering, data archiving solutions, and facilities management technology solutions with expertise in computer aided design (“CAD”) software, computational fluid dynamics (“CFD”), data management, facilities management, and process optimization for the manufacturing, engineering, and building design industries. The Company specializes in software resale, technology consulting, implementation, integration, training, data archiving, CFD analysis consulting and thermal simulation services and technical support solutions that enable clients to more effectively design, develop, and manage projects, products, and facilities. The Company is globally diversified with offices in the United States, Canada, Australia, Malaysia and Singapore. Rand Worldwide has over 25 years of industry experience and expertise, an extensive list of training and implementation services and longstanding relationships with design technology leaders including Autodesk, Archibus and Autonomy. The Company’s clients include businesses, government agencies, and educational institutions.

The Company’s business strategy is built on three core principles designed to leverage its existing strengths with expected market opportunities:

 

   

Maintain and profitably grow its strong position in the Autodesk software market;

 

   

Profitably grow its consulting and services business by leveraging its experts in design engineering; and

 

   

Acquire or license and integrate diverse, yet complementary, software and services businesses to extend its product offerings to its large customer base and expand its market potential.

This strategy was designed to match the Company’s product and service offerings more precisely with the needs of its customers, while providing avenues of growth and diversification.

Product Sales- Product sales consist primarily of the resale of packaged design software, including:

 

15


Table of Contents
   

Autodesk 2D and 3D computer aided design software for customers in the mechanical, architectural and civil engineering sectors, as well as visualization and animation technology to companies in the media and entertainment industry;

 

   

Autodesk data management software;

 

   

Archibus facilities management software for space planning, strategic planning, and lease/property administration;

 

   

Leica 3D laser scanning equipment for the Architectural, Engineering and Construction sector;

 

   

ASCENT internally developed courseware for a variety of engineering applications; and

 

   

Autonomy data archiving solutions

Service Revenue- The Company provides services in the form of project-focused software implementations, training, consulting services, software development, software customization, data migration, supplemental design staffing, drawing digitization, symbol library development, custom courseware development, technical support and hosted data archiving solutions to its customers. The Company employs a technical staff of over 100 personnel associated with these types of services. The Company also offers support and implementation services to complement the data archive solutions provided and sold through its Rand Secure Archive Division.

Commission Revenue- The Company offers Autodesk’s subscription programs, which entitle subscribers to receive software upgrades, web support and eLearning lessons directly from Autodesk. Because Rand Worldwide does not participate in the delivery of these subscription products or the web support and eLearning lesson benefits, the Company records the gross profit from the sale of Autodesk software subscriptions as commission revenue. In addition, the Company sells technology upgrades to existing Autodesk customers through the Autodesk Subscription program where the customers receive the latest releases of Autodesk software, incremental product enhancements, and personalized web support direct from Autodesk.

Based on its analysis of the Autodesk Subscription program, Rand Worldwide records the net proceeds that it receives from Autodesk for subscription sales in accordance with the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605 (previously EITF 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent).

The Company also generates commission revenue from the resale of Autodesk software to various customers, a number of which Autodesk considers major and government accounts. Autodesk designates customers as major accounts based on specific criteria, primarily sales volume, and typically gives these customers volume discounts. The Company is responsible for managing and reselling Autodesk products to a number of these major and government account customers; however, software products are shipped directly from Autodesk to the customers. The Company receives commissions upon shipment of the products from Autodesk to the customer based on a percentage of the sales price.

Cost of Product Sales- The cost of product sales consists of the cost of purchasing products from software suppliers or hardware manufacturers as well as the associated shipping and handling costs. The Company earns a volume incentive rebate from its primary supplier, Autodesk, paid monthly as a percentage of qualifying purchases. The rebate percentage is established based on quarterly purchasing volume. These rebates serve to reduce the cost of product sales. The Company accrues its rebates the month the underlying sales are posted, in accordance with ASC 605-50, Customer Payments and Incentives. The Company has generally been able to focus its sales efforts in a manner to achieve margins on its product sales that are within a relatively narrow range period to period.

Cost of Service Revenue- Cost of service revenue includes the direct costs associated with the implementation of software and hardware solutions as well as training, support services, and professional services. These costs consist primarily of compensation, travel, literature, and the costs of third-party contractors engaged by the Company. The cost of service revenue does not include an allocation of overhead costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense- Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and other expenses associated with the Company’s sales force, management, finance, human resources, and information systems. Advertising and public relations expenses and

Table of Contents

expenses for facilities, such as rent and utilities, are also included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense- Depreciation expense represents the period costs associated with our investment in property and equipment, consisting principally of computer equipment, software, furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements. Amortization expense represents the period costs of the acquired customer list and trade name intangible assets. The Company computes depreciation and amortization expenses using the straight-line method. The Company leases all of its facilities and depreciates leasehold improvements over the lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset.

Interest Expense- Interest expense consists of interest on capital lease obligations and borrowings from lines of credit.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2011

The following tables set forth a comparison of the Company’s results of operations for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011. The amounts are derived from selected items reflected in the Company’s unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations included elsewhere in this report. The three-month financial results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

Revenues. Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2012 decreased by $343,000, or 1.6%, when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Product sales decreased $1,762,000, or 13.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. During the prior fiscal year, product sales included a single sale of $700,000 from the Company’s Australian operations. The Company was still experiencing the effects of a shortfall in experienced sales professionals which resulted in decreased product sales during the current fiscal quarter.

Service revenues increased $572,000, or 11.9%, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 when compared with the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in service revenues included $170,000 of revenues from the acquired CFD business, $117,000 in increased data archiving services, and $285,000 in increased training and consulting services. The Company has made progress in developing its Rand Secure Archive business and has also expanded its sales team who are dedicated to selling our training offerings.

Commission revenues increased $847,000, or 21.9%, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 when compared with the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increased commission revenues were primarily due to a few key customers renewing their multi-year subscription contracts for another three years during the current fiscal quarter.

Cost of revenue. The total cost of revenue decreased $1,408,000, or 11.3%, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Cost of product sales decreased 21.2% during the three months ended September 30, 2012 when compared with the same period in the prior fiscal year, while product revenue decreased 13.3%. Cost of product sales decreased to a larger extent than did product revenues primarily due to increased sales rebates from the Company’s principal supplier, Autodesk, which are applied to the cost of product sales. For its new fiscal year beginning February 1, 2012, Autodesk ended most of its target-based rebates and began a new volume-based rebate which resulted in a larger rebate earned for the months following this change. Furthermore, sales of proprietary products such as Revit Clarity and licenses for ASCENT courseware titles increased nearly threefold over last year, resulting in decreased product cost relative to product revenue as the development costs for such proprietary products was expensed when incurred.

Cost of service revenue increased 18.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, while service revenues increased 11.9%. The Company hired additional technical staff since the prior fiscal year resulting in increased cost of service revenue. Cost of service revenue as a percentage of related revenue increased to 68.8% during the three months ended September 30, 2011 from 65.2% during the same period in the prior fiscal year for the reasons explained above.

Gross margin. The Company’s overall gross margin percentage of 49.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was higher than the 43.3% gross margin in the same period in the prior fiscal year due primarily to the decreased product costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 8.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. Selling, general and administrative expense as a percent of total revenues was 42.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase from 38.8% for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in these expenses was primarily the result of new employees including those related to our recent acquisitions of IDP and Inlet as well as our expansion of the Rand Secure Archive team and our team dedicated to selling our training offerings.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $37,000, or 9.3%, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

The increase was due primarily to the additional depreciation expense associated with hardware and software acquired for its data archiving division.

Other (Expense) Income, net. The Company incurred $20,000 in other expense, net, during the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $142,000 during the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease is primarily due to having foreign exchange gains during the current fiscal year while having foreign exchange losses during the prior fiscal year. Interest expense, when netted with foreign exchange gains and losses, resulted in net expense in both periods presented.

Income Tax Expense. The Company recorded $348,000 of income tax expense during the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $52,000 in income tax expense recorded for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The Company’s effective tax rate was 38% during the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to 11% during the same period in the prior fiscal year.

In the prior year, the Company had a valuation allowance against its net operating loss carryforwards, and was able to offset most of its income tax expense against its net operating loss carryforwards. During the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the Company recognized as an asset its US net operating loss carryforwards that it expects will be realizable, and as a result, the Company’s income tax expense is no longer offset against large unrecognized US net operating loss carryforwards. Consequently income tax expense is significantly higher.

As of September 30, 2012, the Company had U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards available to reduce future taxable income of approximately $38.0 million, however, $25.3 million of these carryforwards were not recognized because they are subject to annual limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and are expected to expire before being utilized. These carryforwards expire between 2013 and 2029. In addition, as of September 30, 2012, the Company had foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $19.6 million available to reduce future taxable income, and net deferred tax assets of $6.8 million. The carryforwards expire between 2012 and 2029 for some jurisdictions and, for other jurisdictions, the losses may be carried forward indefinitely. The Company maintains a valuation allowance on the entire amount of its foreign deferred tax assets due to insufficient history of profitable operations.

The Company’s Canadian subsidiary, Rand A Technology Corporation, is currently being audited by the Canada Revenue Agency for tax years 2005 through 2009. Management believes that it has properly recorded the tax expense for the periods under review and expects no material adjustments to the respective returns or to its financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, the Company has financed its operations and met its capital expenditure requirements primarily through cash flows provided by operations and borrowings under short-term debt arrangements.

On February 29, 2012, the Company entered into an $8 million line of credit facility, including a $1,000,000 sublimit for the issuance of standby or trade letters of credit with PNC Bank, National

Association. The interest rate is the “Eurodollar Rate”, which is calculated by using the LIBOR rate, plus a margin of 2.0%. The interest rate as of September 30, 2012 was 2.2%. The Company had outstanding borrowings from the bank under its credit line of approximately $2.4 million as of September 30, 2012 and had $3.1 million outstanding as of June 30, 2012. The line expires on February 28, 2014.

The Company’s operating assets and liabilities consist primarily of accounts receivable, cash, borrowings under line of credit, accounts payable, and deferred revenue. Changes in these balances are affected principally by the timing of sales, collections and vendor payments. The Company purchases approximately 97% of its product from one principal supplier that provides it with credit to finance those purchases.

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, net cash provided by operating activities was $2,559,000, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $1,099,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in cash provided by operating activities from the three months ended September 30, 2012 when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011 was due mainly to increased collections of accounts receivable, decreased payouts of accrued compensation and increased profitability of the Company, with some offsetting changes such as increased deferred revenues resulting from the expanded Rand Secure Archive services.

The Company’s investing activities consist principally of investments in computer and office equipment. In July 2012, the Company acquired Informative Design Partners for $600,000 in cash, $400,000 in stock and potential future earnout payments. Compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, cash purchases of equipment for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased to $702,000 from $131,000 mainly as the result of purchases of software and hardware for the Rand Secure Archive business and, to a lesser degree, normal periodic replacement of computer equipment.

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, net cash used in financing activities was $804,000 compared to $776,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

The Company had a working capital surplus of 3,196,000 as of September 30, 2012.

Because the Company is one of the largest resellers of Autodesk software and because Autodesk has continued to state its intention to continue to strengthen its relationships with its resellers, the Company expects to continue to be a leading seller of Autodesk software. The Company is a party to a Value Added Reseller Agreement with Autodesk effective February 1, 2010. The agreement provides for an initial term of twelve months that, subject to certain requirements and termination rights of the parties, automatically renews on an annual basis for two additional twelve-month periods. The agreement designates the Company as an authorized reseller of Autodesk software and prescribes the authorized sales territories, authorized products and services, rebate and incentive program details and marketing support.

Operating Leases

The Company leases certain office space and equipment under noncancellable operating lease agreements that expire in various years through 2019 and that, generally, do not contain significant renewal options. Future minimum payments under all noncancellable operating leases with initial terms of one year or more consisted of the following at September 30, 2012:

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in those rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including its principal executive officer (“CEO”) and its principal financial and accounting officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 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. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

An evaluation of the effectiveness of these disclosure controls as of September 30, 2012 was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the CEO and the CFO. Based on that evaluation, management, including the CEO and the CFO, has concluded that, as of that date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were, in fact, effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
