Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

ORGANIZATION

 

Fuse Science, Inc. (“Company”) was incorporated in Nevada on September 21, 1988.  Since that time, the Company has engaged in a number of businesses as a private and subsequently a publicly held company, including developing and marketing data communications and networking infrastructure solutions for business, government and education (which business was sold in 2002) and as a “business development company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, from 2007 to 2009 (incorporated by reference to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012). 

 

2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

CONSOLIDATION POLICY AND HISTORY OF BUSINESS

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Fuse Science, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“FS R&D”), FS Consumer Products Group, Inc., a Florida corporation and its 60% owned subsidiary, Ultimate Social Network, Inc. (“USN”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Its common stock now trades on the OTCQB under the symbol DROP.

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Stated of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The information set forth in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended December 31, 2012, is unaudited and reflects all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments and which in the opinion of management are necessary to make the interim condensed consolidated financial statements not misleading. The September 30, 2012 year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with these financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s latest stockholder’s annual report (Form 10-K) which were prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future, actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

The Company records revenue from the sale of Enerjel™, Powerfuse™ and Electrofuse™ , when all of the following have occurred: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) product has been shipped or delivered, (3) the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company’s customers may return ordered items for a refund . The Company also provides customers incentives to purchase products at a discount. For the three months ended December 31, 2012, we have recorded sales discounts, returns and allowances of $4,740 which is netted against sales.

 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

INVENTORIES

 

Inventories consist of items or products, which are manufactured by a contracted manufacturer on behalf of the Company, for resale and packaging material used to distribute such products. Inventories are valued at average cost and adjusted to reflect lower of cost or market. Allowances for inventory obsolescence are determined based upon the specific facts and circumstances and market conditions. As of December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012, no obsolescence reserves were considered necessary.

 

FIXED ASSETS

 

Equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of three 3-10 years. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Fixed assets, net of accumulated depreciation, amounted to $114,510 and $93,880 as of December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012, respectively. As of December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012, the accumulated depreciation of equipment was $7,434 and $4,622, respectively. 

 

INVESTMENTS

 

Investments are classified into the following categories:

 

  · Trading securities reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings;
  · Available-for-sale securities reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable deferred income taxes, reported in other comprehensive income;
  · Held-to-maturity securities and other investments reported at amortized cost; and
  · Investments using the equity method of accounting.

 

 

9
 

 

 

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Fair value information about financial instruments is required to be disclosed when it is practicable to estimate that value.  The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable approximate their estimated fair value due to the short-term maturities of these financial instruments and because related interest rates offered to the Company approximate current rates.

 

 

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

 

Intellectual property is evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying value of our intellectual property may not be recoverable.  Other intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic lives.  We believe that the straight-line method of amortization reflects an appropriate allocation of the cost of the intangible assets to earnings in proportion to the amount of economic benefits obtained annually by the Company.

 

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

 

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets and intangible assets for impairment whenever events change or if circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any assets may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset.

 

INCOME TAXES

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method and deferred income taxes are provided on the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences.  Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. 

 

The Company recognizes positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return in accordance with existing accounting guidance on income taxes which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process. Interest and penalties on tax liabilities, if any, would be recorded in interest expense and other non-interest expense, respectively.

 

STOCK OPTION PLAN

 

The Company follows current accounting requirements and uses the modified prospective and transition method for all stock options issued.  The Company measures compensation cost for all options granted based on fair value on the date of grant and recognizes compensation expense over the service period for those options expected to vest.

 

The Board of Directors approved the Double Eagle Holdings, Ltd. 2011 Incentive Stock Plan on October 17, 2011 and it was approved by a majority of shareholders on December 8, 2011.  

 

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s options would have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models may not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s options, although they provide the best estimate currently.

 

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions (including the cost of all employee stock options) is required to be recognized in the financial statements. That cost is measured based on the estimated fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. The wide range of share-based compensation arrangements includes share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. The Company’s financial statements include an expense for all share-based compensation arrangements granted on or after January 1, 2006 and for any such arrangements that are modified, cancelled or repurchased after that date based on the grant-date estimated fair value.

 

10
 

 

RECLASSIFICATION

 

A reclassification has been made to the financial statements at September 30, 2012 to comply with the presentation for the three months ended December 31, 2012.  The reclassification had no effect on net loss.

 

LOSS PER SHARE

 

The Company’s loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the three months. Diluted losses per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the losses of the Company.

 

As described in Note 5 – Notes Payable and Note 9 – Incentive Stock Plan, the Company had warrants outstanding during each of the three months ended December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012. The convertible notes are reflected in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the corresponding periods by application of the “if converted” method to the extent their effect is dilutive.

 

The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used for the computation of basic and diluted net loss per common share:

 

    For the Three Months ended
December 31,
 
    2012     2011  
Numerator:                
Net loss available to stockholders   $ (2,105,174 )   $ (999,380 )
                 
Denominator:                
Weighted average number of common shares – Basic     176,794,628       94,360,082  
Weighted average number of common shares – Diluted     176,794,628       94,360,082  
                 
Net income (loss) per common share:                
Basic   $ (0.01 )   $ (0.01 )
Diluted   $ (0.01 )   $ (0.01 )

 

3. GOING CONCERN

 

The Company has not established sources of revenue sufficient to fund the development of the business, projected operating expenses and commitments for the next twelve months. The Company had a net loss from operations of $(2,105,174) during the three month period ended December 31, 2012. Included in this loss, the Company recorded non-cash compensation of $738,344 which relates to contracts entered into by the Company for current and future services undertaken for marketing and promotional activities by brand athletes through endorsement contracts, as well as contracts with consultants to provide professional services and employment contracts with the Company’s key employees. At December 31, 2012, current assets are $739,539 and current liabilities are $1,160,923. These conditions raise serious doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made as a result of this uncertainty.

 

4. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

 

In April 2011, the Company completed its acquisition of FS R&D, a development stage company with no prior operations. As of December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012 unamortized intellectual property relating to this acquisition amounted to $81,106 and $81,756, respectively.

5. NOTES PAYABLE

 

The Company had the following convertible notes payable at December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012.

 

    December 31,     September

Long term   11,268     85,757  
Total   $ 366,268     $ 190,757  

  

On October 12, 2012, we executed an agreement for a 9% unsecured promisory note in the amount of $250,000 which is due on demand by the lenders.

8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Company operated as a Business Development Company (“BDC”) until January 20, 2009, when it elected to no longer be treated as a BDC.  As a part of its operations and consistent with the operating parameters of a BDC, the Company developed a number of relationships with its portfolio company investments, including members of the Company's board of directors becoming officers and directors of its portfolio company investments.  The Company made loans to the portfolio companies and entered into management agreements with the portfolio companies.  As a result of operating as a BDC and then converting to an operating company, a number of its previous relationships were required to be categorized as related party transactions.  Subsequently, these transactions ceased to qualify as related party transactions due to the termination of the related party relationship.

 

While operating as a BDC the Company had management contracts and made loans to its 60% owned subsidiary USN. These transactions are eliminated in consolidation with USN.

Our operating expenses were $1,939,931 and $811,484 for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, an increase of $1,128,447 from 2011 to 2012, reflecting increased operations. For the three months ending December 31, 2012, $557,167 was recorded for share-based compensation and amortization of deferred compensation. This compares with $451,151 for share-based compensation and amortization of deferred compensation for the three months ending December 31, 2011. The deferred compensation expense in 2012 and 2011 represents the amortized fair value of stock and options issued for services to non-employees. The share-based compensation charges to operations in 2012 and 2011 were primarily for stock options granted under our 2011 Incentive Stock Plan to executive officers and were made so that their interests would be aligned with those of shareholders, providing incentive to improve Company performance on a long-term basis. Grants of stock options were also made to third parties for various services rendered and as additional compensation for financing agreements. Amortization of deferred compensation is recorded in general and administrative expenses. Share-based compensation expense is included in sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

For the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, general and administrative expenses were $1,190,013 and $468,622, respectively. The increase of $721,391 is primarily composed of decreases in non-cash stock-based compensation costs of $171,856 to consultants and $333,431 in compensation expenses to employees. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and support costs for management and administrative staff, and for other general and administrative costs, including professional fees related to accounting, finance, and legal services as well as other operating expenses.

    $ 1,190,013     $ 468,622  

 

Professional Fees Expense

 

Professional fees expense increased to $576,347 for the three months ended December 31, 2012, from $178,274 for the three months ended December 31, 2011. This increase was due to the Company’s requirements for legal, compliance, protection and accounting and consulting services related to the Company’s ongoing day-to-day business dealings and execution of its business plan, including, accounting, financial reporting and SEC compliance. Professional fees expense increase also includes $171,856 in non-cash compensation.

 

Salary and Benefits

 

Salary and benefits amounted to $494,541 for the three months ended December 31, 2012 from $106,394 for the three months ended December 31, 2011. The increase of approximately $388,000 was due to an increase in personnel headcount. Prior to April 1, 2012 the Company limited payments to employees and consultants based on cash availability resulting in underpayment of salaries. During the second quarter of the fiscal year the Company hired additional personnel. The payroll increase includes $333,431 in non-cash compensation.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

For the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, sales and marketing expenses were $748,318 and $342,862, respectively. The increase of $405,456 is primarily due to the marketing efforts for Enerjel™, and PowerFuse™ and ElectroFuse™, which were subsequently launched online in December 2012. In February 2012, the Company entered into a marketing and distribution agreement with Mission to market the Company’s products through their distribution channels. This agreement included comprehensive marketing services and heavy commercialization efforts during the first ten (10) months. The Company paid Mission approximately $650,000 for these services, which is amortized over 10 months. Included in the increase in 2012 is amortization of deferred compensation (non-cash) of approximately $104,039 as of December 31, 2011 compared to $274,481 as of December 31, 2012. The Company’s products are endorsed by a number of professional athletes which are remunerated cash and non-cash payments. The increase in sales and marketing is also attributed to endorsement contracts with these professional athletes. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation and support costs for sales and marketing personnel, professional services, promotional, marketing and related activities.

 

Research and Development

 

Included in our operating expenses for December 31, 2012 is approximately $1,600 for research and development expenses compared to $0 for December 31, 2011. Research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation for contractors engaged in internal research and product development activities, laboratory operations, and related expenses. The Company considers research and development of its technology and the science behind its products an important cornerstone of its continuing efforts. As the Company progresses it will continue to invest in research and development and anticipates increases year over year.

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

Other income (expense) consists of the following:

    $ (194,966 )   $ (187,836 )

Beneficial Conversion Feature

 

Beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) was $0 for the three months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to $148,183 for the three months ended December 31, 2011, a decrease of $148,183. This decrease is the result of the December 2011 Notes in the amounts of $75,000 and $60,000 which were rolled into our February 2012 Notes.  Also included is approximately $50,000 BCF relating to January 2012 Notes. There were no new convertible notes as of December 31, 2012.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense is primarily attributable to new convertible notes payable issued during first the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2011 and those issued in February of 2012. Interest expense amounted to $194,966 for the three months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to interest expense of approximately $39,713 for the three months ended December 31, 2011. Also included in interest expense is amortization of financing fees related to the February 2012 notes and amortization of note discounts on the balance of the outstanding notes. Most of these note holders have already converted a portion of the outstanding notes into common stock. During the three months ended December 31, 2012, a total of 1,066,461 shares of common stock were issued in satisfaction of convertible debt with a face value in the amount of $138,001. Included in the amount is amortization of financing charge of approximately $14,000 and amortization of debt discounts in the amount of $51,116. 

 

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

The Company had an unrealized gain from its available-for-sale securities of $0 and $12,830 in the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, resulting in a comprehensive loss of $2,105,174 and $986,550 for the three months ending December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Liquidity

 

The following table summarizes total current assets, liabilities and working deficit at December 31, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011.

 

    December 31,
2012
    December 31,
2011
    Increase/(Decrease)  
                   
Current Assets   $ 739,539     $ 219,375     $ 520,164  
Current Liabilities   $ 1,160,923     $ 844,471     $ 316,452  
Working Deficit   $ (421,384 )   $ (625,096 )   $ 203,712  

 

18
 

 

As December 31, 2012, we had a working deficit of $(421,384), as compared to a working deficit of $(625,096) at December 31, 2011, a increase of $203,712. The decrease is primarily attributable to the Company’s issuance of $250,000 from our 9% due on demand notes, as well as $1.5 million for warrants exercised on February 2012 Notes.

  

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $(1,384,434) and $(281,249), respectively. The net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $(2,105,174) and $(999,380), respectively. 

 

Net cash used in and provided by investing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 respectively, was $(19,979) and ($21,190), respectively. The Company purchased equipment during the three months ended December 31, 2012.

 

Net cash obtained through all financing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2012 was $1,648,746, as compared to $315,000 which was used for the three months ended December 31, 2011. The increase of approximately $1,333,746 is primarily related to a February 2012 private placement of convertible notes and warrants for approximately $3.2 million and the subsequent exercise of a portion of such warrants which generated approximately $1.3 million. Besides the foregoing existing notes and warrants, the Company issued additional notes and warrants (which we exercised) generating $1,521,324 in cash for the Company.

 

Our primary source of operating cash has been through private placements of our securities, principally convertible notes and warrants and the subsequent exercise of certain of those warrants.

 

Management estimates that it will need between $3,500,000 and $5,000,000 in capital during fiscal 2013 to continue to commercialize our products, license our technology and otherwise fully implement our business plan. We have no commitments to raise any such capital. If such capital is not available when needed on commercially reasonable terms or otherwise, we may have to scale down or delay implementation of our business plan in whole or in part and curtail its business activities, which would seriously harm the Company and its prospects.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has incurred significant losses and experienced negative cash flow since its inception. At December 31, 2012, the Company had cash of approximately $306,383 and a deficit in working deficit of $(421,384). Further, at December 31, 2012, the accumulated deficit amounted to $25,219,218. As a result of the Company's history of losses and unfavorable financial condition, there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. 

 

The Company will require additional funding of between $3,500,000 and $5,000,000 during fiscal 2013 to finance the growth of its current and expected future operations as well as to achieve its strategic objectives. The Company believes its current available cash along with anticipated revenues may be insufficient to meet its cash needs for the near future. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.

 

In response to these problems, management has taken the following actions:

 

  · continue with the implementation of our business plan;

 

  · generate new sales from expanded retail distribution of EnerJel™, PowerFuse™ and ElectroFuse™;

 

  · seeking additional third party debt and/or equity financing;

 

  · continue facilitation of licensing efforts; and

 

  · allocate sufficient resources to continue with advertising and marketing efforts.

 

A successful transition to attaining profitable operations is dependent upon obtaining sufficient financing to fund the Company’s planned expenses and achieving a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure. Management plans to finance future operations through the use of cash on hand, increased revenues and capital raised through equity or debt financing. We also expect to receive proceeds from stock warrant exercises from existing shareholders. As the Company’s product continues to gain market acceptance, the Company expects sales in fiscal 2013 and beyond to substantially increase.

 

19
 

 

There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to achieve its projected level of revenues in fiscal 2013 and beyond. If the Company is unable to achieve its projected revenues and is not able to obtain alternate additional financing of equity or debt, the Company would need to significantly curtail or reorient its operations during 2013, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve its business objectives and as a result may require the Company to file for bankruptcy or cease operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts classified as liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be forced to take any such actions.

 

Our future expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including: the rate at which we can introduce and sell products; the costs of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights; and market acceptance of our products and competing technological developments. We expect that we will incur between $3,500,000 and $5,000,000 in cash expenditures for our operating expenses during fiscal 2013. As we expand our activities and operations, our cash requirements are expected to increase at a rate consistent with revenue growth after we have achieved sustained revenue generation.

 

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

New Accounting Standards

 

There are several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) which are not yet effective.  Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company.  Management does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or operating results.  See Note 2.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The SEC issued “Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure about Critical Accounting Policies”; suggesting companies provide additional disclosure and commentary on their most critical accounting policies.  The SEC defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and operating results, and require management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.  Based on this definition our most critical accounting policies are in process of evolving while we move from the development stage to the operational stage of our business cycle.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the PCAOB standards, a control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis.  A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit the attention by those responsible for oversight of the company's financial reporting.  A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), as of September 30, 2012.  Our management has determined that, as of September 30, 2012, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

 

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.  The Company's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company's management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements in accordance with the United States' generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP), including those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of the assets of the Company, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. 

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) as set forth in its Internal Control - Integrated Framework.  Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2012. 

 

This annual report does not include an audit or attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding our internal control over financial reporting.  Our management's report was not subject to audit or attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.

 

There were no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls during the quarter ended December 31, 2012.
