NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2013

 

NOTE A

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the financial information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  References to “we,” “us,” “our,” “its,” “TGC” or the “Company” refer to TGC Industries, Inc. and our subsidiaries.

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

Seismic Surveys

 

The Company provides seismic data acquisition survey services to its customers under general service agreements which define certain obligations for the Company and for its customers.  We typically enter a supplemental agreement setting forth the terms of each project, which may be cancelled by either party upon 30 days’ advance written notice.  These supplemental agreements are either “turnkey” agreements providing for a fixed fee to be paid for each unit of seismic data acquired or “term” agreements providing for a fixed hourly, daily, or monthly fee during the term of the project.  The duration of these projects varies from a few days to several months.  The Company recognizes revenue when services are performed under both types of agreements.  Services are defined as the commencement of data acquisition, which is the physical act of laying out seismic equipment or recording contractually determined data points.  Under turnkey agreements, the total number of units of seismic data to be gathered is set forth in the agreement.  TGC recognizes revenue on turnkey arrangements as services are performed on a per unit of seismic data acquired rate based on the number of data points per square mile obtained compared to the number of square miles set forth in the agreement.  Eagle Canada, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary (“Eagle Canada”), recognizes revenue on turnkey agreements as services are performed on a per unit of seismic data laid-out rate, which is standard industry practice in Canada, based on the number of receiver lines laid out as compared to the estimated total lines to be laid out for the project pursuant to the agreement.  Under term agreements, revenue is recognized, by both TGC and Eagle Canada, as services are performed based on the time worked rate provided in the term agreement.  Under both turnkey and term agreements, cost of earned revenue is recognized by multiplying total estimated agreement cost by the percentage-of-completion of the agreement.  The excess of that amount over the cost of earned revenue reported in prior periods is recognized as cost of earned revenue for the period.  Agreements are not segmented or combined for purposes of calculating percentage of completion.  The asset “Cost and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts” represents cost incurred on turnkey agreements in excess of billings on those agreements.  The liability “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts” represents billings on turnkey agreements in excess of cost on those agreements.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) — Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (“ASU 2012-02”). This ASU provides entities with an option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired.  If an entity concludes that it is more than 50% likely that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is not impaired, no further analysis is required.  However, if an entity concludes otherwise, it would be required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset to measure the amount of actual impairment, if any, as currently required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).  The ASU is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012.  The Company adopted this update in the first quarter of 2013 and it did not have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.  This ASU clarifies the balance sheet presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit and was issued to resolve the diversity in practice that had developed in the absence any specific U.S. GAAP.  ASU 2013-11 is applicable to all entities that have an unrecognized tax benefit due to a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, of a tax credit carryforward.  The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013, and does not create any new disclosure requirements.  The Company will adopt ASU 2013-11 on January 1, 2014.  The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2013-11 will have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE B — MANAGEMENT PRESENTATION

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and changes in financial position have been included.  The results of the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q report pursuant to certain rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  For further information, refer to the financial statements and the footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed on Form 10-K.

 

NOTE C — EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings per common share are based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock (“common shares”) outstanding.  Diluted earnings per share are based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and, when dilutive, common shares issuable for stock options, warrants, and convertible securities.  All earnings per common share for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 have been adjusted for the 5% stock dividend paid on May 14, 2013, to shareholders of record as of April 30, 2013.

TGC INDUSTRIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONCLUDED

June 30, 2013

 

NOTE E — INCOME TAXES

 

Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting purposes and such amounts recognized for tax purposes.  In addition, the Company paid, during the first six months of 2013, federal and various state estimated income taxes for tax year 2013, as well as various state income taxes for tax year 2012.

 

NOTE F — SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company accounts for share-based compensation awards and for unvested awards outstanding using the modified prospective application method.  Accordingly, we recognized the fair value of the share-based compensation awards as wages in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.  We have recognized compensation expense, relative to share-based awards, in wages in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings of approximately $441,000 and $97,000, or approximately $0.01 per share and less than $0.01 per share, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2013, and 2012, and approximately $659,000 and $186,000, or approximately $0.02 per share and $0.01 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2013, and 2012, respectively.

 

As of June 30, 2013, there was approximately $605,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to our two share-based compensation plans which the Company expects to recognize over a period of three years.

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

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this report regarding the Company’s strategies and plans for growth are forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking statements are often characterized by the terms such as “may,” “would,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “target,” and other words and terms of similar meanings and do not reflect historical facts.  Although management believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct.  Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such expectations are disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings, and include, but are not limited to, the dependence upon energy industry spending for seismic services, the unpredictable nature of forecasting weather, the potential for contract delay or cancellation, the potential for fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices, the availability of capital resources, and the current economic climate which could adversely affect our revenues and cash flow if our customers, and/or potential customers, become unable to pay, or must delay payment of, amounts owing to us because such customers are not successful in generating revenues or are precluded from securing necessary financing.  The forward-looking statements contained herein reflect the current views of management, and we assume no obligation to update the forward-looking statements or to update the reasons actual results could differ from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements except as required by law.

 

Executive Overview

 

TGC Industries, Inc. is a Texas corporation, and with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Eagle Canada, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (collectively “we,” “us,” “our,” “its,” “TGC” or the “Company”), is primarily engaged in the geophysical service business of conducting three-dimensional (“3-D”) surveys for clients in the oil and natural gas business.  TGC’s principal business office is located at 101 E. Park Blvd., Suite 955, Plano, Texas 75074 (Telephone: 972-881-1099).  TGC’s internet address is www.tgcseismic.com.  TGC makes available free of charge on its website its annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K as soon as reasonably practicable after filing with, or furnishing such information to, the SEC.

 

We are a leading provider of seismic data acquisition services throughout the continental United States and Canada.  We supply seismic data to companies engaged in the domestic exploration and development of oil and natural gas on land and in land-to-water transition areas. Our customers rely on seismic data to identify areas where subsurface conditions are favorable for the accumulation of existing hydrocarbons, to optimize the development and production of hydrocarbon reservoirs, to better delineate existing oil and natural gas fields, and to augment reservoir management techniques.  We began the second quarter of 2013 operating nine crews, and ended the quarter operating two crews in the U.S.  In Canada, we began the second quarter of 2013 operating six crews and ended the quarter operating two crews  We anticipate activating additional crews as conditions allow.  Our second quarter tends to be the weakest quarter of the year, primarily because of the seasonal shutdown in Canada due to the spring thaw.

We acquire geophysical data using the latest in 3-D survey techniques. We introduce acoustic energy into the ground by using vibration equipment or dynamite detonation, depending on the surface terrain and subsurface requirements. The reflected energy, or echoes, is received through geophones, converted into a digital signal at a multi-channel recording unit, and then transmitted to a central recording vehicle. Subsurface requirements dictate the number of channels necessary to perform our services. With our state-of-the-art seismic equipment, including computer technology and multiple channels, we acquire, on a cost effective basis, immense volumes of seismic data that when processed and interpreted produce more precise images of the earth’s subsurface. Our customers then use our seismic data to generate 3-D geologic models that help reduce finding costs and improve recovery rates from existing wells.

 

We provide our seismic data acquisition services primarily to major and independent onshore oil and natural gas exploration and development companies for use in the onshore drilling and production of oil and natural gas in the continental United States and Canada. The main factors influencing demand for seismic data acquisition services in our industry are the level of drilling activity by oil and natural gas companies and the sizes of such companies’ exploration and development budgets, which, in turn, depend largely on current and anticipated future crude oil and natural gas prices and depletion rates.

 

The services we provide to our customers vary according to the size and needs of each customer. Our services are marketed by supervisory and executive personnel who contact customers to determine their needs and respond to customer inquiries regarding the availability of crews. Contacts are based principally upon professional relationships developed over a number of years. There are a number of consultants in the oil and natural gas industry who process and interpret seismic data for oil and natural gas companies.  These consultants can have an influence in determining which company their customers use to acquire seismic data.

 

The acquisition of seismic data for the oil and natural gas industry is a highly competitive business.  Contracts for such services generally are awarded on the basis of price quotations, crew experience, and the availability of crews to perform in a timely manner, although other factors such as crew safety performance history and technological and operational expertise are often determinative. Our competitors include companies with financial resources that are significantly greater than our own as well as companies of comparable and smaller size. Our primary competitors are Dawson Geophysical Company, Geokinetics Inc., and CGG-Veritas.  Most of our competitors are publicly-traded companies with long operating histories which field numerous crews and work in a number of different regions and terrain.  In addition to the previously named companies, we also compete for projects from time to time with smaller seismic companies which operate in local markets with only one or two crews and often specialize in specific regions or type of operations.  We believe that our long-term industry expertise, the customer relationships developed over our history, and our financial stability give us an advantage over most of our competitors in the industry.

 

Results of Operations

 

The Company’s business is subject to seasonal variations; thus the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of a full year’s results.

 

Six Months Ended June 30, 2013, Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 (Unaudited)

 

Revenues.  Our revenues were $94,691,644 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $97,429,365 for the same period of 2012, a decrease of 2.8%.  While revenues were relatively flat, the revenue mix for the six months ended June 30, 2013 showed a significant increase in shot-hole work, which generates higher revenues but carries lower margins than vibroseis work, and a decrease in vibroseis work.

Table of Contents

 

Cost of services.  Our cost of services was $71,519,202 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $63,559,002 for the same period of 2012, an increase of 12.5%.  As a percentage of revenues, cost of services was 75.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to 65.2% for the same period of 2012.  This increase was primarily attributable to a significant increase in higher cost shot-hole work.  Costs of services as a percentage of revenues for the first half of 2013 also increased as a result of the costs we continued to incur as we idled several crews in the U.S. in the second quarter due to the softening in the seismic market.

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses.  Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $4,834,487 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $4,350,327 for the same period of 2012, an increase of 11.1%.  This increase was primarily due to an increase in share-based compensation expense.  SG&A expense as a percentage of revenues was 5.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared with 4.5% for the same period of 2012.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense.  Depreciation and amortization expense was $13,053,384 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $11,905,511 for the same period of 2012, an increase of 9.6%.  This increase was primarily attributable to acquisition of seismic recording equipment, vibration vehicles, and other equipment and vehicles during the last half of 2012.  Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of revenues was 13.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to 12.2% for the same period of 2012.

 

Income from operations.  Income from operations was $5,284,571 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $17,614,525 for the same period of 2012.  The decrease was attributable to a significant increase in shot-hole work, which carries higher costs and lower margins than vibroseis work, the idling of several crews in the U.S. in the second quarter of 2013 due to the softening in the seismic market, and increased depreciation expense on our new equipment.  EBITDA decreased $11,182,081 to $18,337,955 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, from $29,520,036 for the same period of 2012, a decrease of 37.9%.  This decrease was a result of factors discussed above.  For a definition of EBITDA, a reconciliation of EBITDA to net income and discussion of EBITDA, please refer to the section entitled “EBITDA” found below.

 

Interest expense.  Interest expense was $628,158 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $522,638 for the same period of 2012, an increase of 20.2%.  This increase was primarily attributable to our purchases of seismic acquisition equipment during the last half of 2012.

 

Income tax expense.  Income tax expense was $2,308,970 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $6,681,748 for the same period of 2012.  The effective tax rate was 49.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to an effective tax rate of 39.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2012.  The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the effect of permanent tax differences.  See Note E of Notes to Financial Statements in Item 1.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2013, Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 (Unaudited)

 

Revenues.  Our revenues were $31,487,231 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $30,383,957 for the same period of 2012.  The slight increase in revenues was due to a significant increase in shot-hole work, which carries higher revenues and costs but lower margins than vibroseis work, partially offset by the idling of several crews during the three months ended June 30, 2013.  We began the second quarter of 2013 operating nine crews, and ended the quarter operating two crews in the U.S.  In Canada, we began the second quarter of 2013 operating six crews and ended the quarter operating two crews.

 

Cost of services.  Our cost of services was $28,286,561 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $25,010,953 for the same period of 2012, an increase of 13.1%.  As a percentage of revenues, cost of services was 89.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to 82.3% for the same period of 2012. This increase was largely due to a significant increase in shot-hole work, which carries higher costs and a lower margin than vibroseis work. Costs of services as a percentage of revenues for the second quarter of 2013 also increased as a result of the costs we continued to incur as we idled several crews in the U.S. due to the softening in the seismic market.

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses.  SG&A expenses were $2,453,946 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $2,050,325 for the same period of 2012, an increase of 19.7%.  This increase was due to an increase in share-based compensation.  SG&A expense as a percentage of revenues was 7.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared with 6.7% for the same period of 2012.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense.  Depreciation and amortization expense was $6,367,015 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $6,182,912 for the same period of 2012, an increase of 3.0%.  This increase was primarily attributable to acquisition of seismic recording equipment, vibration vehicles, and other equipment and vehicles during the last half of 2012.  Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of revenues was 20.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to 20.3% for the same period of 2012.

 

Loss from operations.  Loss from operations was $5,620,291 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $2,860,233 for the same period of 2012.  This increase was primarily attributable to the higher cost of services discussed above.  EBITDA decreased $2,575,955 to $746,724 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $3,322,679 for the same period of 2012, a decrease of 77.5%.  This decrease was a result of those factors mentioned above.  For a definition of EBITDA, a reconciliation of EBITDA to net income and a discussion of EBITDA, please refer to the section entitled “EBITDA” found below.

 

Interest expense.  Interest expense was $308,452 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $280,293 for the same period of 2012, an increase of 10.0%.  This increase was primarily attributable to our purchases of seismic acquisition equipment during the last half of 2012.

 

Income tax benefit.  Income tax benefit was $1,924,714 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $1,166,405 for the same period of 2012.  The effective tax benefit rate was 32.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 37.1% for the same period of 2012.  The decrease in the effective tax benefit rate was due to the effect of permanent tax differences.  See Note E of Notes to Financial Statements in Item 1.

EBITDA

 

We define EBITDA as net income (loss) plus interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense. We use EBITDA as a supplemental financial measure to assess:

 

·                  the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structures, taxes, or historical cost basis;

 

·                  our liquidity and operating performance over time and in relation to other companies that own similar assets and that we believe calculate EBITDA in a manner similar to us; and

 

·                  the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient for us to pay potential interest costs.

 

We also understand that such data is used by investors to assess our performance. However, EBITDA is not a measure of operating income, operating performance, or liquidity presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. When assessing our operating performance or our liquidity, you should not consider this data in isolation or as a substitute for our net income, cash flow from operating activities, or other cash flow data calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income and operating income, and these measures may vary among other companies.  Therefore, EBITDA as presented below may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.  Further, the results presented by EBITDA cannot be achieved without incurring the costs that the measure excludes: interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization.

 

The following table reconciles our EBITDA to our net income:

Cash Flows

 

Cash flows provided by operating activities.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $23,085,199 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $34,425,053 for the same period of 2012.  The $11,339,854 decrease in cash flow from operating activities during the first six months of 2013 from the same period of 2012 was principally attributable to decreases in net income, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, billings in excess of cost and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts and income taxes payable, which were partially offset by increases in depreciation and amortization expense, accounts receivable, and cost and estimated earnings in excess of uncompleted contracts.

Table of Contents

 

Working capital increased $9,010,734 to $21,226,827 as of June 30, 2013, from the December 31, 2012 working capital of $12,216,093.  This increase was primarily due to increases of $16,192,575 in cash and $2,500,534 in prepaid expenses, and decreases of $10,524,171 in accounts payable, $2,699,937 in accrued liabilities, $1,721,773 in billings in excess of cost and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, and $2,254,642 in  federal and state income taxes payable, partially offset by decreases of $20,827,918 in accounts receivable, $5,238,159 in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, and an increase of $1,091,864 in current maturities of notes payable.

 

Cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities.

 

Net cash provided by investing activities was $239,059 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, and net cash used in investing activities was $20,834,079 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.  This change was due primarily to a decrease in capital expenditures of $21,917,858 resulting from the maintenance capital expenditures policy we implemented during the fourth quarter of 2012, as compared to the first six months of 2012, during which we purchased additional wireless Geospace Seismic Recording systems and related equipment, replacement vehicles, and seven new vibration vehicles, partially offset by a decrease of $844,720 in proceeds from the sale of older property and equipment.

 

Cash flows used in financing activities.

 

Net cash used in financing activities was $7,008,528 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, and $5,067,080  for the six months ended June 30, 2012.  The increase was due primarily to principal payments on notes payable.

 

Capital expenditures.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we acquired $826,667 of vehicles and equipment, primarily to add to and replace similar vehicles and equipment.  We financed these acquisitions by using $458,271 of cash on hand and by incurring $368,396 in capital lease obligations from a vehicle leasing company.  Although we do not budget for our capital expenditures, we may purchase additional equipment during 2013 should the demand for our services increase.

 

Liquidity.

 

Our primary source of liquidity is cash generated from operations and short-term borrowings and leases from commercial banks and equipment lenders for capital expenditures.  Based on current forecasts, we believe that we have sufficient available cash and borrowing capacity to fund our working capital needs over the next 12 months.

 

Capital Resources

 

We have relied on cash generated from operations, short-term borrowings from commercial banks and equipment lenders to fund our working capital requirements and capital expenditures.

 

We have a revolving line of credit agreement with a commercial bank, pursuant to which we may borrow up to $5,000,000. The credit agreement was renewed for a one-year term on September 16, 2011, and September 16, 2012 and will expire on September 16, 2013.  We intend to renew the revolving credit agreement prior to its expiration.  Our obligations under this agreement are secured by a security interest in our accounts receivable.  Interest on the outstanding amount under the revolving credit agreement is payable monthly at the greater of the prime rate of interest or five percent.  As of June 30, 2013, we had no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit agreement.

Table of Contents

 

At June 30, 2013, the Company had six outstanding notes payable to commercial banks for equipment purchases.  The notes have interest rates between 3.50% and 5.00%, are due in monthly installments between $59,581 and $223,437 including interest, have a total outstanding balance of $19,388,354 and are collateralized by equipment.  Three notes payable with interest rates between 5.33% and 6.00% and monthly payments between $23,740 and $61,997 plus interest were paid off in 2012.  One note payable with interest of 6.35% and monthly payments of $50,170 including interest was paid off in February 2013.  These notes were collateralized by equipment.

 

The Company had, at June 30, 2013, three outstanding notes payable to finance companies for corporate insurance.  The notes have interest rates between 4.16% and 4.95%, are due in monthly installments between $16,861 and $329,823 including interest, and have a total outstanding balance of $2,405,284.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

We believe that our capital resources, including our short-term investments, funds available under our revolving credit agreement, and cash flow from operations, will be adequate to meet our current operational needs. We believe that we will be able to finance our 2013 capital expenditures through cash flow from operations, borrowings from commercial lenders, and the funds available under our line of credit loan agreement.  However, our ability to satisfy working capital requirements, meet debt repayment obligations, and fund future capital requirements will depend principally upon our future operating performance, which is subject to the risks inherent in our business, and will also depend on the extent to which the current economic climate adversely affects the ability of our customers, and/or potential customers, to pay promptly amounts owing to the Company under their service contracts with us.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of June 30, 2013, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

A discussion of our critical accounting policies can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.  There have been no material changes to these policies (including critical accounting estimates and assumptions or judgments affecting the application of those estimates and assumptions) during the quarter ended June 30, 2013.

The Company maintains controls and procedures to ensure that it is able to collect the information it is required to disclose in the reports it files with the SEC and to process, summarize, and disclose this information within the time periods specified in the rules of the SEC.  Based on an evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report conducted by the Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers, the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers believe that these controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the Company is able to record, process, summarize, and report information required to be included in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, within the required time period.  There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2013, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
