(An Exploration Stage Company)
(UNAUDITED)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Nature of Operations
American Energy Development Corp. (the "Company") is currently an exploration stage company under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) No. 915, Development Stage Entities, and was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 10, 2010. Since inception, the Company has produced almost no revenues and will continue to report as an exploration stage company until significant revenues are produced.
The Company’s principal activity is the exploration and development of oil and gas properties.
On July 12, 2011, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State to change its name from “LJM Energy Corp.” to “American Energy Development Corp.” (the “Name Change”). The effective date of the Name Change with the Nevada Secretary of State is July 14, 2011.
Basis of Presentation
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim condensed consolidated financial information and with the instructions to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Form 10-Q and Article 8 of SEC Regulation S-X. The principles for interim consolidated financial information do not require the inclusion of all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2013. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, they contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the condensed results for the interim periods. Operating results for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2014. We made certain reclassifications to prior-period amounts to conform to the current presentation.
Exploration Stage
The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of producing oil and gas properties. As of September 30, 2013, the Company owns acreage in the State of Michigan which includes a 43.75% working interest in three separate oil and gas leases in Ingham County, Michigan (the “Dansville Prospect”) totaling approximately 1,343 acres along with option rights to acquire a 50% working interest in three (3) prospects located in Trenton Township, Washtenaw County, Trenton Township, Jackson County, and Kinneville Township, Ingham County, Michigan (the “Option Prospects”), and seismic data for certain properties located in Ingham and Calhoun Counties, Michigan for further exploration and analysis. The Company also owns a 1.4% working interest in certain oil and gas leases in Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma (the “Magnolia Prospect”).
Additionally, the Company owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of Reservoir Resources Limited, which through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Fairfax Shelfco 307 Limited (“Fairfax 307”), is the owner of a ninety-five percent (95%) share in the Petroleum Exploration and Development Licence for UK Onshore Block SU97, known as licence PEDL236 (the “Licence”), which grants to Fairfax 307 an exclusive license during the term of the Licence to search, bore for and obtain petroleum in UK Onshore Block SU97, a 24,700 acre onshore exploration prospect located in the Weald Basin in Windsor, United Kingdom. Reservoir Resources also owns two-dimensional seismic data and information relating to certain areas of the Licence.

AMERICAN ENERGY DEVELOPMENT CORP.

(UNAUDITED)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Exploration Stage (Continued)
In December 2012, the Company determined that the costs to obtain required approvals necessary to develop and drill the Windsor Prospect of Reservoir Resources were too significant and the likelihood of obtaining the approvals too remote to pursue the prospect further. As a result in the prior fiscal year, the Company has impaired its investment of Reservoir Resources.
The Company’s success will depend in large part on its ability to obtain and develop its oil and gas interests. There can be no assurance that oil and gas properties obtained by the Company will contain reserves or that properties with reserves will be profitable to extract. The Company will be subject to local and national laws and regulations which could impact the Company’s ability to execute its business plan.
As discussed in Note 2, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the balance sheet and statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company is required to estimate the fair value of all financial instruments included on its balance sheet under ASC 825, Financial Instruments. The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to the short period to maturity of these instruments.
Oil and Gas Properties
The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for crude oil and natural gas properties. Under this method, all direct costs and certain indirect costs associated with acquisition of properties and successful as well as unsuccessful exploration and development activities are capitalized. Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of capitalized crude oil and natural gas properties and estimated future development costs, excluding unproved properties, are based on the unit-of-production method based on proved reserves.
The cost of investments in unproved properties and major development projects are excluded from capitalized costs to be amortized until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to the properties. Until such a determination is made, the properties are assessed annually to ascertain whether impairment has occurred. The costs of drilling exploratory dry holes are included in the amortization base immediately upon determination that the well is dry.

AMERICAN ENERGY DEVELOPMENT CORP.

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Oil and Gas Properties (Continued)
For each cost center, capitalized costs are subject to an annual ceiling test, in which the costs shall not exceed the cost center ceiling. The cost center ceiling is equal to i) the present value of estimated future net revenues computed by applying current prices of oil and gas reserves (with consideration of price changes only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves as of the date of the latest balance sheet presented, less estimated future expenditures (based on current costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves computed using a discount factor of ten percent and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions; plus ii) the cost of properties not being amortized; plus iii) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized; less iv) income tax effects related to differences between the book and tax basis of the properties. If unamortized costs capitalized within a cost center, less related deferred income taxes, exceed the cost center ceiling, the excess is charged to expense and separately disclosed during the period in which the excess occurs.
Asset Retirement Obligation
The Company accounts for its future asset retirement obligations by recording the fair value of the liability, if any, during the period in which it was incurred. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. The increase in carrying value of a property associated with the capitalization of an asset retirement cost is included in proved oil and gas properties within the Company’s balance sheets. The Company depletes the amount added to proved oil and gas property costs using the units-of-production method and the straight-line basis over the life of the assets.
The Company’s asset retirement obligation consists of costs related to the plugging of wells, removal of facilities and equipment and site restoration on its oil and gas properties and gathering assets. The asset retirement liability, if any, will be allocated to operating expense using a systematic and rational method. As of September 30, 2013, the Company reviewed plug and abandonment costs of its producing Brown 2-12 well and deemed the amount to be immaterial.
Revenue Recognition
Working interest, royalty and net profit interests are to be recognized as revenue when oil and gas are sold. The Company records the sale of its interests in prospects generally as a reduction to the cost pool without gain or loss recognition unless such a sale would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and the proved reserves attributable to a cost center. A significant alteration would typically involve a sale of 25% or more of the proved reserves related to a single full cost pool. All terms of the sale are to be finalized and price readily determinable.
Value of Stock Issued for Services
The Company periodically issues shares of its common stock in exchange for, or in settlement of, services. The Company’s management values the shares issued in such transactions at either the then market price of the Company’s common stock after taking into consideration factors such as volume of shares issued or trading restrictions, or the value of the services rendered, whichever is more readily determinable.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the 2013 financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the current year presentation.

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company collects its receivables on its working interests in oil and gas properties from the well operators. As such, the Company generally has relatively few customers. These receivables are unsecured and the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of the well operators’ financial condition whenever necessary. At September 30, 2013, the Company had one customer that accounted for 100% of its oil and gas sales. Bad debt expense is recognized on an account-by-account review after all means of collection have been exhausted and recovery is not probable.
There was no bad debt expense for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There were various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
2. GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred a net operating loss of ($15,614,816) from inception (March 10, 2010) through September 30, 2013. The Company is subject to those risks associated with exploration stage companies. The Company’s present revenues are insufficient to meet operating expenses. Additional debt and equity financing will be required by the Company to fund its development activities and to support operations. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing. Furthermore, the Company's existence is dependent upon management's ability to develop profitable operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.
Management is currently devoting substantially all of its efforts to develop its existing oil and gas properties. The Company also continues to search for additional productive properties. There can be no assurance that the Company's efforts will be successful, or that those efforts will translate in a beneficial manner to the Company.

On September 19, 2011, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Omnibus Agreement (“Omnibus Amendment”) with Range Michigan LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (“Range”), pursuant to which the Omnibus Agreement dated June 14, 2011 between the parties was amended to reflect the Company’s name change to American Energy Development Corp. and extend the participation date for the wells from December 31, 2011 to July 1, 2012.
In connection with the Omnibus Amendment, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Participation Agreement (“Participation Amendment”) with Range, pursuant to which the Participation Agreement dated June 14, 2011 between the parties was amended to, among other things, (i) reflect the Company’s name change to American Energy Development Corp., (ii) extend the date in which the Company is required to participate in the Required Wells from December 31, 2011 to July 1, 2012, (iii) provide that it is anticipated that each of the two remaining two of the Required Wells will be spudded by July 1, 2012, and (iv) authorize Range to withhold the first $100,000 from the Company’s share of the proceeds from the production of the first Required Well( the Brown #2 -12 well) for the payment of the option fee specified Option Agreement and Option Amendment as described below.
In connection with the Omnibus Amendment, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Option Agreement (“Option Amendment”) with Range, which provides that in the event the Brown #2-12 Well is a producing well, Range will withhold the first $100,000 of the Company’s share of production proceeds for payment of the option fee and if the Company’s share of the proceeds from the Brown #2-12 Well are insufficient to pay the entire amount of the option fee on or before February 1, 2012 then the Company shall pay Range the remaining balance of the option fee on or before February 5, 2012. As of September 30, 2012, the Brown #2-12 well production has been insufficient to pay the Option Fee. The Company has renegotiated with Range to waive the option fee.
The Company will remit to the seller an overriding royalty interest of 2.5% of the overall gross market value at the time of production of all oil and gas produced from the licensed areas from proceeds of the sale of oil and gas produced. The property currently has one well that is producing in which they hold a net realizable interest of 26%.
During the prior fiscal years, the Company recorded an impairment charge on the Dansville Prospect of approximately $720,000 based on the independent assessment of the future value of its proved reserves.
Reservoir Resources
On September 13, 2011, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with Pepper Canister Nominees Limited pursuant to which the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Seller’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Reservoir Resources Limited, which, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, owns an oil and gas exploration and development license in the United Kingdom in exchange for 12,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $12,500,000 ($1.00 per share) . The Company is subject to development requirements whereby the Company must drill at least one well in the licensed area to a depth of 400 meters to be spudded by December 31, 2012 (“Target Date”), failure of which will result in the Seller being granted the option to cancel the Purchase Agreement within 60 days of the Target Date, re-acquire all shares of Reservoir Resources and retain 50% of the Company’s shares received as the Purchase Price. The purchase of Reservoir Resources was completed on March 12, 2012.
In December 2012, the Company determined that the costs to obtain required approvals necessary to develop and drill the Windsor Prospect of Reservoir Resources were too significant and the likelihood of obtaining the approvals too remote to pursue the prospect further. As a result, the Company has impaired its investment of Reservoir Resources in the amount of $12,512,535 in the prior fiscal year.

7. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes are reported using the liability method. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences 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 bases. 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.
As of September 30, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of (2,054,000), which can be used to offset future federal income tax. The federal and state net operating loss carryforwards expire at various dates through 2033. Deferred tax assets resulting from the net operating losses are reduced by a valuation allowance, when, in the opinion of management, utilization is not reasonably assured.
A summary of the Company’s deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2013 are as follows:
|
Federal net operating loss (@ 34%)
|
$ | 698,360 | |||

Forward Looking Statements
This following information specifies certain forward-looking statements of management of the company. Forward-looking statements are statements that estimate the happening of future events are not based on historical fact. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “may”, “shall”, “could”, “expect”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “predict”, “probable”, “possible”, “should”, “continue”, or similar terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those terms. The forward-looking statements specified in the following information have been compiled by our management on the basis of assumptions made by management and considered by management to be reasonable. Our future operating results, however, are impossible to predict and no representation, guaranty, or warranty is to be inferred from those forward-looking statements.
The assumptions used for purposes of the forward-looking statements specified in the following information represent estimates of future events and are subject to uncertainty as to possible changes in economic, legislative, industry, and other circumstances. As a result, the identification and interpretation of data and other information and their use in developing and selecting assumptions from and among reasonable alternatives require the exercise of judgment. To the extent that the assumed events do not occur, the outcome may vary substantially from anticipated or projected results, and, accordingly, no opinion is expressed on the achievability of those forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to:
|
·
|
risks associated with drilling and production programs resulting from geological, technical, drilling, seismic and other unforeseen problems;
|
|
·
|
unexpected results of exploration and development drilling and related activities;
|
|
·
|
availability of capital and financing to fund exploration and development drilling activities;
|
|
·
|
increases in operating costs;
|
|
·
|
availability of skilled personnel;
|
|
·
|
unpredictable weather conditions; and
|
|
·
|
other factors listed from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

No assurance can be given that any of the assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements specified in the following information are accurate, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.
Critical Accounting Policy and Estimates. Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources. In addition, these accounting policies are described at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis and in the notes to the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2013.
Our Business. We are an exploration stage company focused on exploration, production and development of oil and natural gas in the United States. We currently own interests in certain oil and gas drilling areas and land leases located in Ingham County, Michigan, known as the Dansville Prospect, and seismic data relating to such areas and leases. We also own a working interest in a three well developmental drilling project in Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma, known as the Magnolia Prospect. For all of our working interests, we depend on operating partners to propose, permit and initiate the drilling of wells.
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2013, together with notes thereto, as previously filed with our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and our financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2013, together with notes thereto, which are included in this Quarterly Report.

For the three months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012.
Results of Operations.
Revenues. We had revenues of $45,983 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to revenues of $70,574 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. We do not anticipate we will generate more significant revenues from oil and gas sales from our interest in the Dansville Prospect.
Operating Expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, our total operating expenses were $47,456, as compared to total operating expenses of $197,670 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Our operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2013, were comprised solely of general and administrative expenses of $47,456. The decrease in general and administrative expenses from $197,670 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, is directly related to the decreased size of our operations.
We expect that our future monthly operating expenses for fiscal year 2013 may increase from our current expense levels, plus we expect to incur additional direct costs relating to drilling the Dansville Prospect in Michigan. We will continue to incur significant general and administrative expenses as a result of being a public company.
Net Loss. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, our net loss was $4,541, as compared to our net loss of $133,701 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to generate additional revenues or, if that we do generate additional revenues, that such revenues will be sufficient to cover our operating costs and reduce our net loss in future periods.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources. As of September 30, 2013, we have cash of $8,758 and accounts receivable of $14,521 which comprises our current assets of $23,279 as of that date. Our total assets of $428,499 as of September 30, 2013 consist of our current assets of $23,279, and evaluated oil and gas property of $405,220.
As of September 30, 2013, we had total current liabilities of $253,613 all of which were represented by accounts payable and accrued expenses. We had no other long term liabilities, commitments or contingencies.
On October 3, 2011, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“Financing Agreement”) with an investor pursuant to which we may, at our sole and exclusive option, issue and sell to the investor (“Investor”), and the Investor shall purchase up to $7,800,000 of our common stock and five-year warrants to purchase common stock (the “Warrants”) from time to time over a two year period at a purchase price of the higher of (i) $0.40 per share, and (ii) eighty percent (80%) of the 10-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) of our common stock. We received an initial drawdown of $200,000 on October 3, 2011, and we issued 500,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.40 per share and Warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of 120% of the purchase price, or $0.48 per share. The Warrants expire five years from the date of the investment. The second drawdown of $200,000 was delivered on October 12, 2011 and we issued 500,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $0.40 per share and Warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.48 per share to the Investor in connection with the second drawdown. The third drawdown of $50,000 was delivered on February 3, 2012 and we issued 125,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $0.40 per share and Warrants to purchase 125,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.48 per share to the Investor in connection with the third drawdown. The fourth drawdown of $1,000,000 was delivered on March 20, 2012 and we issued 1,282,052 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $0.78 per share and Warrants to purchase 1,282,052 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.94 per share to the Investor in connection with the fourth drawdown. The fifth drawdown of $120,000 was delivered on March 30, 2012 and we issued 162,163 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $0.74 per share and Warrants to purchase 162,163 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.89 per share to the Investor in connection with the fifth drawdown. The sixth drawdown of $30,000 was delivered on October 31, 2012 and we issued 75,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $0.40 per share and Warrants to purchase 75,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.48 per share to the Investor in connection with the sixth drawdown.
During the prior fiscal year, the Company paid approximately $90,000 in legal costs related to responding to requests from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The staff’s requests have sought, among other things, information related to the Company’s Financing Agreement with the Investor and the accompanying issuances of shares to Investor, information concerning the Company’s communications or dealings with consultants who introduced the Company to Investor and to oil and gas opportunities, information concerning oil and gas-related agreements, and information concerning the Company’s sale of shares in connection with its S-1 registration statement and related shareholder communications. The Company is fully cooperating with the staff’s investigation. At this time, the Company cannot predict reasonably the outcome or timing of this matter as it relates to the Company. The Company has determined that for the time being, it is not advisable to seek additional funding from the Investor and that the pending investigation is having a material impact on the Company’s ability to seek new funding. The Company anticipates it will continue to incur significant legal costs related to these matters.
17
During 2013, we expect that the following will continue to impact our liquidity:
|
·
|
significant legal and accounting costs associated with being a public company and costs associated with responding to the SEC.
|
|
·
|
increases in overhead and the use of independent contractors for services to be provided to us.
|
|
·
|
future payments to Range of our proportional share of costs associated with the wells located on Dansville Prospect.
|
|
additional expenses related to the acquisition of additional oil and gas rights.
|
Other than those items specified above, we are not aware of any other known trends, events or uncertainties, which may affect our future liquidity.
We have cash of $8,758 as of September 30, 2013. In the opinion of management, available funds will not satisfy our working capital requirements to operate at our current level of activity for the next twelve months. We need additional cash to continue our operations and to develop the Dansville Prospect and other properties. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in obtaining sufficient capital to develop any of our properties. Our forecast for the period for which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations involves risks and uncertainties and actual results could fail as a result of a number of factors.
We do not believe we will be able to continue to drawdown funds from the Financing Agreement. Accordingly, we have been, and intend to continue, working toward identifying and obtaining new sources of financing. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in obtaining additional financing or that additional funding will be available on favorable terms. Any future financing that we may obtain may cause significant dilution to existing stockholders. Any debt financing or other financing of securities senior to common stock that we are able to obtain will likely include financial and other covenants that will restrict our flexibility. Any failure to comply with these covenants would have a negative impact on our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate portions of our operations or to obtain funds through arrangements with strategic partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to certain of our assets. Accordingly, the inability to obtain such financing could result in a significant loss of ownership and/or control of our assets and could also adversely affect our ability to fund our continued operations and our expansion efforts with respect to our oil and gas interests.
We are not currently conducting any research and development activities. We do not anticipate conducting such activities in the near future. We do not currently own any equipment. Our management believes that we will require the services of independent contractors to operate at our current level of activity. Further, as our level of operations increases beyond the level that our current staff can provide, we may need to hire additional employees or independent contractors as well as purchase or lease equipment.
Not applicable.
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. We maintain controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based upon their evaluation of those controls and procedures performed as of the end of the period covered by this report, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in internal controls. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
