HAUPPAUGE DIGITAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for Hauppauge Digital Inc. and Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim period reporting in conjunction with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, these statements do not include all of the information required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all known adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and reserves) necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the interim periods have been included. The September 30, 2013 consolidated balance sheet has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. It is suggested that these interim statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s September 30, 2013 Form 10-K.

 

The operating results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2014.

 

The Company’s cash requirements for the next twelve months will include, among other things, the cash to fund its operating and working capital needs. The Company relies exclusively upon cash generated from operations to fund these needs. The Company’s cash used in operating activities was ($28,907) for the six months ended March 31, 2014. It does not have a working capital line of credit or other borrowing facility in place to draw upon in the event that cash from operations is insufficient to fund its capital requirements to sustain operations. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2014 and its internally generated cash may not be sufficient to fund its operating needs for the next twelve months and this gives rise to a substantial doubt regarding its ability to continue as a “going concern.”

 

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company has incurred operating losses for the last six fiscal years and in the six month period ended March 31, 2014. Those losses are primarily attributable to a continuing decline in sales.

 

Since the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company has been implementing expense reduction initiatives. The Company switched from air to ocean freight to reduce shipping costs, outsourced most of its shipping and logistics to a third party, reduced personnel, relocated certain facilities to smaller offices, renegotiated certain existing leases to reduce rent and closed certain sales offices. The Company believes that it may be increasingly difficult to make further material reductions in costs and maintain a viable operating plan.

 

 

HAUPPAUGE DIGITAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company is working to develop a strategy to address its continuing operating losses and loss of sales, and during the latter part of fiscal 2013 the Company retained Corporate Fuel Advisors, an investment bank and advisory firm, which assisted the Company in considering and pursuing strategic alternatives, including possible additional financing to fund its capital needs, expense reductions and the restructuring of its business.

 

The Company cannot assure that it will be able to develop and implement a plan that will enable it to successfully address its business and financial challenges. Among other things:

 

	●	If the Company seeks financing, it may not be able to obtain funding to address its capital needs on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.
	●	It may not be able to develop new lines of products or services that will be positively accepted by the marketplace.
	●	It may not be able to successfully compete with its competitors’ product and service offerings.
	●	Customers and consumers may lose confidence in the Company as a result of its financial condition and performance and their perceptions of its business prospects and competitive position, and they may cease to do business with the Company or buy its products.

 

If any strategic or restructuring plan that the Company develops and implements is not successful, there is a substantial risk that the Company might not be able to sustain its operations at current levels, which would have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results and financial condition.

 

The consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2013 was derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of Hauppauge Digital Inc. and Subsidiaries, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Note 2. Trade Accounts and Other Non-Trade Receivables

 

Trade receivables consist of:

 

	●	Trade receivables from sales to customers
	●	Allowances, for sales returns and bad debt

 

Other non-trade receivables consist of:

 

	●	Receivables pertaining to component parts purchased from the Company at cost by the Company’s contract manufacturers which are excluded from sales

Note 3. Inventories

 

Inventories have been valued at the lower of average cost or market on a first-in first-out basis. The components of inventory consist of:

 

		March 31, 2014				September 30, 2013
Component parts		$	3,301,861			$	3,795,919

Total		$	8,316,898			$	10,479,048

 

Note 4. Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic net income (loss) per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share reflects, in the periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the dilution which would occur upon the exercise of stock options. A reconciliation of the shares used in calculating basic and diluted net income per share is as follows:

 

		Three Months				Three Months				Six Months				Six Months
		Ended				Ended				Ended				Ended
		March 31, 2014				March 31, 2013				March 31, 2014				March 31, 2013
Weighted average shares outstanding-basic			10,122,344				10,122,344				10,122,344				10,122,344
Number of shares issued on the assumed exercise of stock options			-				-				-				-
Weighted average shares outstanding-diluted			10,122,344				10,122,344				10,122,344				10,122,344

Options to purchase 1,251,125 and 1,478,125 shares of common stock, at prices from $0.74 to $7.45 were outstanding for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive.

 

Note 5. Product Segment and Geographic Information

 

The Company operates primarily in one business segment, which is the development, marketing and manufacturing of TV receiver and video recording products for the personal computer market. Most of the Company’s products are similar in function and share commonality of component parts and manufacturing processes. The Company’s products are either sold, or can be sold, by the same retailers and distributors in the Company’s marketing channel. The Company also sells its TV tuner products directly to PC manufacturers. The Company evaluates its product lines under the functional categories:

 

	●	Video recorder products, such as the USB-Live2, HD-PVR and Colossus
	●	TV tuner products such as the Broadway, digital TV tuners and hybrid digital/analog TV tuners
	●	Other video products and software.

 

The Company’s TV tuner products enable, among other things, a PC user to watch TV in a resizable window on a PC. The Company’s video recorder products allow consumers to record high definition video from a cable TV or satellite set top box or a game console such as an Xbox 360 or Sony Playstation 3. The Company’s other non-TV tuner products enable, among other things, the ability to watch and listen to PC based videos, music and pictures on a TV set through a home network.

 

Sales by functional category are as follows:

 

		Three months ended March 31,								Six months ended March 31,
		2014				2013				2014				2013
Video recorder products		$	2,614,336			$	5,617,210			$	5,313,650			$	12,177,361
TV tuner products			2,857,653				3,922,930				6,433,949				8,272,616
Other video products and software			376,240				895,795				570,110				1,916,336
Total sales		$	5,848,229			$	10,435,935			$	12,317,708			$	22,366,313

 

The Company sells its products through a North American and international network of distributors and retailers. It maintains sales offices in the United States, Europe and Asia. Sales percentages by geographic region are as follows:

 

		Three months ended March 31,								Six months ended March 31,
Geographic region		2014				2013				2014				2013
The Americas			58	%			67	%			55	%			64	%

Note 6. Tax Provision

 

The Company’s tax provision for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 is as follows:

 

		Three months ended March 31,								Six months ended March 31,
		2014				2013				2014				2013
Current federal tax expense			-			$	28,850				-			$	28,850
Current state tax expense		$	5,000				10,000			$	15,000				20,000
Current tax expense on international operations			19,592				10,078				38,875				52,583
Deferred tax expense			36,433				211,517				136,842				683,316
Tax provision		$	61,025			$	260,445			$	190,717			$	784,749

 

The deferred tax expense was primarily due to the utilization of net operating losses and the utilization of deferred timing differences related to its United States subsidiary. The Effective Tax Rate for the quarter is different than the statutory rate of 34% due to the royalty income charged from the U.S. Entity to the International Entities.

 

Note 7. Accrued Expense-Fees

 

The Company uses various software and technologies in certain of its products. In certain cases, the Company purchases or licenses this software and technologies from third parties. The related purchase or license agreements provide for payment of royalty and other fees associated with the Company’s sale of the related products. Such fees are estimated and get accrued and are reflected as a component of cost of sales when those sales occur. In certain circumstances, such fees are not specifically covered by contractual arrangements but are nonetheless potentially due to the third party sellers or owners of the software and technologies. The Company uses all available applicable information in determining these estimates, and thus the accrued amounts are subject to change as new information is made available to the Company. Occasionally, third parties audit the Company’s historical determination of fees, and adjustments are made. Accrued fees are subject to elimination after three to seven years if not billed by or requested from the third parties. Based on the Company’s write-off policies and information obtained during a fiscal 2013 third party audit, the Company reduced its accrued expenses - fees balance by $806,201 and $2,108,030 during the first six months of fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively. These estimated changes resulted in an improved gross margin for the first six months of fiscal 2014 and 2013. As of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, accrued expenses-fees amounted to $12,295,464 and $12,497,060, respectively.

 

Note 8. Accrued Expenses

 

Accrued expenses are for costs incurred for goods and services which are based on estimates, charged as incurred to operations as period costs, and for which no invoice has been rendered. Accrued expenses consist of the following:

Note 9. Fair Value Measurements

 

ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands the related disclosure requirements. The ASC indicates, among other things, that a fair value measurement assumes a transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The Company also follows the provisions of ASC 820-10 with respect to its non-financial assets and liabilities adopted during the first quarter of fiscal 2010. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, ASC 820-10 establishes a hierarchy for observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad Levels, which are described below:

 

●		Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
●		Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.
●		Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

 

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

 

Additionally, on a nonrecurring basis, the Company uses fair value measures when analyzing asset impairment. Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If it is determined such indicators are present and the review indicates that the assets will not be fully recoverable, based on undiscounted estimated cash flows over the remaining amortization periods, their carrying values are reduced to estimated fair value. Measurements based on undiscounted cash flows are considered to be Level 3 inputs.

 

The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable and other short-term financial instruments approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2013, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which amended Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 220, “Comprehensive Income.” The amended guidance required entities to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. Additionally, entities are required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures in the financial statements. The amended guidance does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income. The amendments became effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014. As this is disclosure-only guidance, it did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial results.

 

In July 2013, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which requires the netting of unrecognized tax benefits against a deferred tax asset for a loss or other carry forward that would apply in settlement of the uncertain tax positions. Under the new standard, unrecognized tax benefits will be netted against all available same-jurisdiction loss or other tax carry forwards that would be utilized, rather than only against carry forwards that are created by the unrecognized tax benefits. The new guidance is effective prospectively to all existing unrecognized tax benefits, but entities can choose to apply it retrospectively. The guidance will be effective for us in our first quarter of fiscal year 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact this guidance will have its consolidated statements of financial position and cash flows.

Increased competition, tepid economic conditions and a reduction in video gaming product sales, which management believes stemmed from the release of a new generation game players from Sony and Microsoft with recording capabilities, had a negative impact on sales.

Selling, general and administrative expense for the second fiscal quarter of fiscal 2014 decreased $894,783 from the prior year’s second fiscal quarter as follows:

 

Sales and marketing expenses decreased $631,342, driven primarily by $270,593 in lower commission and co-operative advertising expense, which declined due to lower sales, $46,319 in lower compensation costs due to personnel reductions and $314,430 in lower sales office expense due to closing and downsizing of sales offices.

 

The decrease in general and administrative expenses of $71,005 was mainly from lower compensation expense due to personnel reductions, lower depreciation expense and lower credit card processing fees due to the issuing of credit lines to certain customers who previously purchased product with credit cards. The decrease in the amortization of intangible assets was due to the write-off of the intangible asset to zero in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, which eliminated the need for further intangible asset amortization.

 

Research and development expenses

 

Research and development expenses for the second fiscal quarter of 2014 decreased $92,359 from the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. The decrease was mainly due to lower compensation and compensation related expenses of $11,906 and lower product development costs of $80,453.

 

Tax provision

 

Our tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 is as follows:

  

		Three months ended March 31,
		2014				2013
Current federal tax expense		$	-			$	28,850
Current state tax expense			5,000				10,000
Current tax expense on international operations			19,592				10,078
Deferred tax expense			36,433				211,517
Tax provision		$	61,025			$	260,445

 

The deferred tax expense was primarily due to the utilization of net operating losses and the utilization of deferred timing differences related to its United States subsidiary. The Effective Tax Rate for the quarter is different than the statutory rate of 34% due to the royalty income charged from the U.S. Entity to the International Entities.

 

Summary of operations

 

We recorded a net loss of $640,084 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, which resulted in basic and diluted net loss per share of $0.06 on weighted average basic and diluted shares of 10,122,344, compared to a net loss of $533,392 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, which resulted in basic and diluted net loss per share of $0.05 on weighted average basic and diluted shares of 10,122,344.

 

Options to purchase 1,251,125 and 1,478,125 shares of common stock, at prices from $0.74 to $7.45 were outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive.

Increased competition, tepid economic conditions and a reduction in video gaming product sales, which management believes stemmed from the release of a new generation game players from Sony and Microsoft with recording capabilities, had a negative impact on sales. In addition, the first quarter of fiscal 2013 included the product rollout of the HD-PVR-2 gaming unit, which resulted in a concentration of sales for fiscal 2013 which did not repeat in fiscal 2014.

Selling, general and administrative expense for the six months ended March 31, 2014 decreased $1,700,859 from the prior fiscal year as follows:

 

Sales and marketing expenses decreased $1,435,186 driven primarily by $706,131 in lower commission and co-operative advertising expense, which declined due to lower sales, $100,980 in lower compensation costs due to personnel reductions and $628,075 in lower sales office expense due to closing and downsizing of sales offices.

 

The decrease in general and administrative expenses of $97,794 was mainly from lower compensation expense due to personnel reductions, lower depreciation expense and lower credit card processing fees due to the issuing of credit lines to certain customers who previously purchased product with credit cards.

 

The decrease in the amortization of intangible assets was due to the write-off of the intangible asset to zero in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, which eliminated the need for further intangible asset amortization. Offsetting the decrease in expenses was the non-recurring reversal in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 for a severance accrual of $213,793 that had been set up in a prior fiscal year.

 

Research and development expenses

 

Research and development expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2014 decreased $107,504 from the prior fiscal year. The decrease was mainly due to lower compensation and compensation related expenses of $59,556 and lower product development costs of $234,852. Offsetting the decrease in expenses was the non-recurring reversal in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 for a severance accrual of $186,904 that had been set up in a prior fiscal year.

 

 

Tax provision

 

Our tax provision for the six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 is as follows:

 

		Six months ended March 31,

Deferred tax expense			136,842				683,316
Tax provision		$	190,717			$	784,749

 

The deferred tax expense was primarily due to the utilization of net operating losses and the utilization of deferred timing differences related to its United States subsidiary. The Effective Tax Rate for the six months ended March 31, 2014 is different than the statutory rate of 34% due to the royalty income charged from the U.S. Entity to the International Entities.

We recorded a net loss of $1,023,294 for the six months ended March 31, 2014, which resulted in basic and diluted net loss per share of $0.10 on weighted average basic and diluted shares of 10,122,344, compared to net income of $756,694 for the six months ended March 31, 2013, which resulted in basic and diluted net income per share of $0.07 on weighted average basic and diluted shares of 10,122,344.

 

Options to purchase 1,251,125 and 1,478,125 shares of common stock, at prices from $0.74 to $7.45 were outstanding for the six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive.

 

Seasonality

 

As our sales are primarily to the consumer market, we have experienced certain seasonal revenue trends. Historically, our peak sales quarter due to holiday season sales is our first fiscal quarter (October to December), followed by our second fiscal quarter (January to March). In addition, our international sales, mostly in the European market, were 37% of sales for fiscal year ended September 30, 2013 and 44% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012. Part of our third and fourth quarters (April through June and July to September) can be impacted by the reduction of activity experienced in Europe during the summer holiday period.

 

We target a wide range of customer types to attempt to moderate the seasonal nature of our retail sales.

 

 

Liquidity and capital resources

 

We had cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2014 of $1,460,505, a decrease of $22,061 from September 30, 2013.

 

The decrease in cash was due to:

Sources of cash:

Effect of exchange rates on cash			-				-				-				6,846
Net cash decrease		$	(28,907	)		$	-			$	-			$	(22,061	)

 

Cash used in operating activities of $28,907 was due to an increase in accounts receivable of $212,772, the net loss adjusted for non-cash items of $560,500, a decrease in accounts payable of $644,067 and a decrease in accrued expenses of $636,300. Sources of cash came from a decrease in inventory of $1,959,230 and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets of $65,502.

 

The increase in accounts receivable was due to a high percentage of sales occurring in the last two months of the quarter. The decrease in accrued expenses was due to payments and adjustments made for licenses and year-end sales rebates. The decrease in accounts payable was due to lower purchases of inventory coupled with payment to suppliers. The decrease in inventory was due to the liquidation of inventory levels through sales and lowered production volume. We had a working capital deficit of $3,655,865 as of March 31, 2014 compared to a working capital deficit of $3,005,314 as of September 30, 2013.

 

Our cash requirements for the next twelve months will include, among other things, the cash to fund our operating and working capital needs. We rely exclusively upon cash generated from operations to fund these needs. We do not have a working capital line of credit or other borrowing facility in place to draw upon in the event that cash from operations is insufficient to fund our capital requirements to sustain operations. Our cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2014 and our internally generated cash may not be sufficient to fund our operating needs for the next twelve months and this gives rise to a substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a “going concern”.

 

We have incurred operating losses for the last six fiscal years and in the six month period ended March 31, 2014. Those losses are primarily attributable to a continuing decline in sales. In the six months ended March 31, 2014, we experienced an approximate 45% drop in sales from prior fiscal year. We believe that our sales have declined for the following reasons, including, among other things:

 

  

	●	Reliance on a small number of our product lines being successful, the failure of any one of which could substantially reduce our sales.
	●	Our potential inability to develop new products or services that will meet our customers’ needs or wants.
	●	Intense competitive pressures from larger companies that have greater resources than we do and from new market entrants, stemming from frequent new product introductions, technological advances, and declining sales prices, among other things.
	●	Our potential inability to remain ahead of the development of competing technologies, products and services.
	●	Lack of market diversification.
	●	Heavy reliance on retailers, dealers and PC manufacturers to market, sell and distribute our products.

 

Since the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, we have been implementing expense reduction initiatives. We switched from air to ocean freight to reduce shipping costs, outsourced most of our shipping and logistics to a third party, reduced personnel, relocated certain facilities to smaller offices, renegotiated certain existing leases to reduce rent and closed certain sales offices. We believe that it may be increasingly difficult to make further material reductions in costs and maintain a viable operating plan.

 

The Company is working to develop a strategy to address our continuing operating losses and loss of sales, and during the latter part of fiscal 2013 retained Corporate Fuel Advisors, an investment bank and advisory firm, which assisted the Company in considering and pursuing strategic alternatives, including possible additional financing to fund its capital needs, expense reductions and the restructuring of its business.

 

The Company cannot assure that it will be able to develop and implement a plan that will enable it to successfully address its business and financial challenges. Among other things:

 

	●	If we seek financing, we may not be able to obtain funding to address our capital needs on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.
	●	We may not be able to develop new lines of products or services that will be positively accepted by the marketplace.
	●	We may not be able to successfully compete with our competitors’ product and service offerings.
	●	Customers and consumers may lose confidence in us as a result of our financial condition and performance and their perceptions of our business prospects and competitive position, and they may cease to do business with us or buy our products.

 

If any strategic or restructuring plan that we develop and implement is not successful, there is a substantial risk that we might not be able to sustain our operations at current levels, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

 

Future contractual obligations

 

The following table shows our contractual obligations related to lease obligations as of March 31, 2014:

 

						Payments due by period
		Total				Less than 1 year			1-3 years				3 to 5 years
Operating lease obligations		$	1,160,093			$	503,812		$	656,281			$	-

 

Inflation

 

While inflation has not had a material effect on our operations in the past, there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to offset the effects of inflation on the costs of our products or services through price increases to our customers without experiencing a reduction in the demand for our products; or that inflation will not have an overall effect on the computer equipment market that would have a material effect on us.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2013, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which amended Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 220, “Comprehensive Income.” The amended guidance required entities to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. Additionally, entities are required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures in the financial statements. The amended guidance does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income. The amendments became effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014. As this is disclosure-only guidance, it did not have an impact on our consolidated financial results.

 

In July 2013, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which requires the netting of unrecognized tax benefits against a deferred tax asset for a loss or other carry forward that would apply in settlement of the uncertain tax positions. Under the new standard, unrecognized tax benefits will be netted against all available same-jurisdiction loss or other tax carry forwards that would be utilized, rather than only against carry forwards that are created by the unrecognized tax benefits. The new guidance is effective prospectively to all existing unrecognized tax benefits, but entities can choose to apply it retrospectively. The guidance will be effective for us in our first quarter of fiscal year 2015, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated statements of financial position and cash flows.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2014.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting, identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act, that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
