EAT AT JOE’S LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2014

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

This summary of accounting policies for Eat at Joe’s, Ltd. and subsidiaries is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements. For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

Interim Financial Statements

 

The unaudited financial statements as of September 30, 2014 and for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the financial position and results of operations for the nine months. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results which can be expected for full years.

 

Organization

 

Eat at Joe’s Ltd. (Company) was incorporated on January 6, 1988, under the laws of the State of Delaware, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Debbie Reynolds Hotel and Casino, Inc. (DRHC) (formerly Halter Venture Corporation or Halter Racing Stables, Inc.) a publicly-owned corporation. DRHC caused the Company to register 1,777,000 shares of its initial 12,450,000 issued and outstanding shares of common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form S-18. DRHC then distributed the registered shares to DRHC stockholders.

 

During the period September 30, 1988 to December 31, 1992, the Company remained in the development stage while attempting to enter the mining industry. The Company acquired certain unpatented mining claims and related equipment necessary to mine, extract, process and otherwise explore for kaolin clay, silica, feldspar, precious metals, antimony and other commercial minerals from its majority stockholder and other unrelated third-parties. The Company was unsuccessful in these start-up efforts and all activity was ceased during 1992 as a result of foreclosure on various loans in default and/or the abandonment of all assets. From 1992 until 1996 the Company had no operations, assets or liabilities.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to recoverability and classification of recorded amounts of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company has generated income before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 of $5,387,533, however it had a loss from operations of $481,659. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $11,934,042. These conditions continue to raise substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to execute its operating plan and to obtain additional debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance the necessary debt or equity financing will be available, or will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.

 

Management’s plans include searching for and opening new restaurants in the future, utilizing company assets to maximize shareholder value and obtaining additional financing to fund payment of obligations and to provide working capital for operations and to finance future growth. The Company is actively pursuing alternative financing and has had discussions with various third parties, although no firm commitments have been obtained. In the interim, shareholders of the Company have committed to meeting its operating expenses. Management believes these efforts will generate sufficient cash flows from future operations to pay the Company’s obligations and realize other assets. There is no assurance any of these transactions will occur.

Nature of Business

 

The Company owns and operates a theme restaurant styled in an “American Diner” atmosphere.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Eat at Joe’s, LTD. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, E.A.J. PHL Airport, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation, E.A.J. Market East, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and E.A.J. MO, Inc., a Nevada corporation. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories consist of food, paper items and related materials and are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company generates revenue from the sale of food and beverage through its restaurants. Revenue is recognized upon receipt of payment.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC 740 (formerly SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”). ASC 740 requires a company to first determine whether it is more likely than not (which is defined as a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that a tax position will be sustained based on its technical merits as of the reporting date, assuming that taxing authorities will examine the position and have full knowledge of all relevant information. A tax position that meets this more likely than not threshold is then measured and recognized at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely to be realized upon effective settlement with a taxing authority.

 

Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences related to temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes at each year end, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is recognized when, based on the weight of all available evidence, it is considered more likely than not that all, or some portion, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Income tax expense is the sum of current income tax plus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes.

 

Depreciation

 

Office furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful lives of the related assets as follows:

 

Furniture & fixtures   5-10 years 
Equipment   5- 7 years 
Computer equipment   3 years 
Leasehold improvements   6-15 years 

 

Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations; betterments are capitalized. The cost of property sold or otherwise disposed of and the accumulated depreciation and amortization thereon are eliminated from the property and related accumulated depreciation and amortization accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations.

Recent Accounting Standards

 

On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (ASU 2014-09), Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 will eliminate transaction- and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 will require that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. The ASU also will require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. Entities can transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, on adopting ASU 2014-09 on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

 

In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08 (ASU 2014-08), Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360). ASU 2014-08 amends the requirements for reporting discontinued operations and requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations or that have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results should be presented as discontinued operations. This new accounting guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2014-08 on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15 (ASU 2014-15), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ASU applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-15 on the Company’s financial statement presentation and disclosures.

 

The Company continually assesses any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability to the Company. Where it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects the Company’s financial reporting, the Company undertakes a study to determine the consequence of the change to its financial statements and assures that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that the Company’s financials properly reflect the change.

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company’s computation of earnings (loss) per share (EPS) includes basic and diluted EPS. The basic EPS is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the (loss) of the Company. In computing diluted EPS, the treasury stock method assumes that outstanding options and warrants are exercised and the proceeds are used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. The diluted and fully diluted per share for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are the same as the inclusion of any potential shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss.

 

Diluted net income per common share was calculated based on an increased number of shares that would be outstanding assuming that the preferred shares were converted to 594,530 and 3,571,429, common shares as of September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Pervasiveness of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

7
 

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. The Company maintains the majority of its cash balances with one financial institution, in the form of demand deposits. At September 30, 2014, the Company had cash deposits in one financial institution that were above FDIC limits of $250,000.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.

 

The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:

 

Level 1: Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

 

Level 2: Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.

 

Level 3: Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

 

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, inventory, prepaid expenses, prepaid stock purchase and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The Company’s notes payable approximate the fair value of such instruments based upon management’s best estimate of interest rates that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangements at September 30, 2014.

 

The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

 

Investment in Marketable Securities

 

The Company’s securities investments that are bought and held for an indefinite period of time are classified as available-for-sale securities. Available-for-sale securities are purchased with the intent of selling them before they reach maturity and are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet in current assets, with the change in fair value during the period excluded from earnings and recorded net of tax as a component of other comprehensive income. All of the Company’s available-for-sale securities are marketable securities and have no maturity date. When sold the cost of the securities is determined using the average purchase cost of the securities. On occasion the Company will transfer some of its available for sale securities to trading securities. When this occurs the unrealized gain or loss is immediately recognized in earnings. Trading securities are purchased with the intent of selling them in the short term.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

General - The condensed consolidated interim financial statements and this discussion should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

Plan of Operations - Eat at Joe's Ltd. intends to open and operate theme restaurants styled in an "American Diner" atmosphere where families can eat wholesome, home cooked food in a safe friendly atmosphere. Eat at Joe's, the classic American grill, is a restaurant concept that takes you back to eating in the era when favorite old rockers were playing on chrome-spangled jukeboxes and neon signs reflected on shiny tabletops of the 1950's. Eat at Joe's fulfills the diner dream with homey ambiance that's affordable while providing food whose quality and variety is such you can eat there over and over, meal after meal. To build on the diner experience, a retail section in each Eat at Joe's would allow customers to take the good feelings home with them, in the form of 50's memorabilia.

 

The Company's expansion strategy is to open restaurants either through Joint Venture agreements or Company owned units. Units may consist of a combination of full service restaurants or food court locations. Restaurant construction will take from 90-150 days to complete on a leased site.

 

In considering site locations, the Company concentrates on trade demographics, such as traffic volume, accessibility and visibility. High Visibility Malls and Strip Malls in densely populated suburbs are the preferred locations. The Company also scrutinizes the potential competition and the profitability of national restaurant chains in the target market area. As part of the expansion program, the Company will inspect and approve each site before approval of any joint venture or partnership.

 

A typical food court unit is approximately 500 square feet, whereas for a full service operation it is approximately 3,500 square feet. Food court operation consists of a limited menu. A full service restaurant consists of 30-35 tables seating about 140-150 people. The bar area will hold 6-8 tables and seats 30-35 people.

 

The restaurant industry is an intensely competitive one, where price, service, location, and food quality are critical factors. The Company has many established competitors, ranging from similar casual-style chains to local single unit operations. Some of these competitors have substantially greater financial resources and may be established or indeed become established in areas where the Eat at Joe's Company operates. The restaurant industry may be affected by changes in customer tastes, economic, demographic trends, and traffic patterns. Factors such as inflation, increased supplies costs and the availability of suitable employees may adversely affect the restaurant industry in general and the Eat at Joe's Company Restaurant in particular. Significant numbers of the Eat at Joe's personnel are paid at rates related to the federal minimum wage and accordingly, any changes in this would affect the Company's labor costs.

 

Over the next twelve months, the company will maintain operations as they currently exist. We do not anticipate the hiring of new full-time employees or the need for additional funds to satisfy cash requirements. Expansion within the current location is not viable, however management may seek to make acquisitions of established businesses, or, if a desirable location becomes available, we may elect to expand the concept. Locations would be sought in heavily trafficked areas, such as within an airport, train station, etc. We have not found any such location as of the date of this filing and no agreements are in place. We intend to utilize funds generated from available cash on hand to conduct our ongoing business, and to also conduct strategic business development, marketing analysis, due diligence investigations into possible acquisitions, and research and development and implementation of our business plans generally.

 

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

 

Results of Operations - For the three months ended September 30, 2014 the Company had a loss before income taxes of approximately $230,000 compared to approximately $533,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. This change is due primarily to increased general and administrative expenses of approximately $279,000, increased unrealized gains on trading securities of approximately $1,091,000 and decreased realized gains on sale of marketable securities of approximately $468,000.

 

Total Revenues - For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company had total sales of approximately $362,000 and $365,000, respectively, for a decrease of approximately $3,000 or less than 1%. Management believes revenues will increase in the future as airport traffic increases.

 

13
 


Costs and Expenses - Costs of revenues, which include the costs of food, beverage, and kitchen supplies increased approximately 3% as a percentage of sales during the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013. This increase is attributed to higher costs of certain food items.

 

The cost of labor increased approximately $2,000 to $87,000 from $85,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase is a result of converting hourly employees to salaried employees to assure better customer service.

 

The cost of rent increase approximately 11% as a percentage of sales from 2013 to 2014. E.A.J. PHL Airport pays $14,000 per month basic rent plus percentage rent equal to 20% of gross revenues above $1,200,000 under the lease based on sales for the 12 month period from July to June of each year. Basic rent is a fixed cost and percentage rent is variable, so the total rent paid varies from year to year.

 

General and administrative expenses increased 77% as a percentage of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase can be attributed to an increase in legal and accounting expenses incurred. The Company’s legal expenses increased due to the Company’s contractual duties to reimburse expenses and legal fees to officers and directors for informal legal inquiries that the Company determined to be subject to the Company’s indemnification responsibilities under Article V111 of its By-Laws.

 

The unrealized gains and losses on trading securities increased approximately $1,091,000 from a loss of $857,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 to a gain of $234,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

 

The realized gain from the sale of marketable securities decreased approximately $468,000 from $468,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 to $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

 

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

 

Results of Operations - For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 the Company had income before income taxes of approximately $5,388,000 compared to loss before income taxes of approximately $476,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This change is due primarily to increased unrealized gains on trading securities of approximately $1,482,000 and increased realized gains on sale of marketable securities of approximately $4,855,000 and partly offset by general and administrative expenses of approximately $427,000.

 

Total Revenues - For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company had total sales of approximately $1,091,000 and $969,000, respectively, for an increase of approximately $122,000 or 12.59%. Management believes revenues will continue to increase in the future as airport traffic increases.

 

Costs and Expenses - Costs of revenues, which include the costs of food, beverage, and kitchen supplies increased approximately 2% as a percentage of sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This increase is attributed to higher costs of certain food items.

 

The cost of labor increased approximately $24,000 to $273,000 from $249,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase is a result of converting hourly employees to salaried employees to assure better customer service.

 

The cost of rent increased approximately 1% as a percentage of sales from 2013to 2014. E.A.J. PHL Airport pays $14,000 per month basic rent plus percentage rent equal to 20% of gross revenues above $1,200,000 under the lease based on sales for the 12 month period from July to June of each year. Basic rent is a fixed cost and percentage rent is variable, so the total rent paid varies from year to year.

 

General and administrative expenses increased approximately 37% as a percentage of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase can be attributed to an increase in legal and accounting expenses incurred. The Company’s legal expenses increased due to the Company’s contractual duties to reimburse expenses and legal fees to officers and directors for informal legal inquiries that the Company determined to be subject to the Company’s indemnification responsibilities under Article V111 of its By-Laws.

Interest expense increased approximately $52,000 from $388,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $440,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This increase is due to the increase in accrued interest on notes payable.

 

The unrealized gains and losses on trading securities increased approximately $1,482,000 from a loss of $998,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to a gain of $484,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as a result of fluctuations in the quoted market price of the underlying securities.

 

The realized gain from the sale of marketable securities increased approximately $4,855,000 from $964,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $5,819,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as a result of fluctuations in the quoted market price of the underlying securities.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

The Company has generated income before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 of $5,387,533, however, it had a loss from operations of $481,659. As of September 30, 2014, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $11,934,042. The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to execute its operating plan and to obtain additional debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance the necessary debt or equity financing will be available, or will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.

 

Management’s plans include searching for and opening new restaurants in the future, utilizing company assets to maximize shareholder value and obtaining additional financing to fund payment of obligations and to provide working capital for operations and to finance future growth. The Company is actively pursuing alternative financing and has had discussions with various third parties, although no firm commitments have been obtained. In the interim, shareholders of the Company have committed to meeting its operating expenses. Management believes these efforts will generate sufficient cash flows from future operations to pay the Company’s obligations and realize other assets. There is no assurance any of these transactions will occur.

 

The Company has met its capital requirements through the sale of its common stock, convertible preferred stock, convertible debentures, marketable securities and borrowings on related party notes payable.

 

Since the Company's re-activation in January 1997, the Company's principal capital requirements have been the funding of (i) the development of the Company and its 1950's diner style concept, (ii) the construction of its existing units and the acquisition of the furniture, fixtures and equipment therein and (iii) towards the development of additional units.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company received $8,176,418 in cash from proceeds of sales of trading securities for investing activities. Cash of $1,948,282 was used for the purchase of marketable equity securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

As of September 30, 2014, $10,884,920 in advances, notes payable and accrued interest was due to related parties.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, cash flows used for operating activities were $434,200 and $18,563, respectively.

 

After the completion of its expansion plans, the Company expects future development and expansion will be financed through cash flow from operations and other forms of financing such as the sale of additional equity and debt securities, capital leases and other credit facilities. There are no assurances that such financing will be available on terms acceptable or favorable to the Company.

Critical Accounting Policies -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 the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, contingencies and taxes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The following critical accounting policies are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions, and estimates used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

We are subject to various loss contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. We consider the likelihood of loss or impairment of an asset or the incurrence of a liability, as well as our ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss in determining loss contingencies. An estimated loss contingency is accrued when management concludes that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. We regularly evaluate current information available to us to determine whether such accruals should be adjusted.

 

We recognize deferred tax assets (future tax benefits) and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the book carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the expected future tax return consequences of those differences, which are expected to be either deductible or taxable when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.

 

The Company’s securities investments that are bought and held for an indefinite period of time are classified as available-for-sale securities. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet in current assets, with the change in fair value during the period excluded from earnings and recorded net of tax as a component of other comprehensive income. The Company’s securities investments that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet in current assets, with the change in fair value during the period included in earnings. Gains from the sales of such marketable securities are utilized to fund our ongoing business, and to also conduct strategic business development, marketing analysis, due diligence investigations into possible acquisitions, and research and development and implementation of our business plans generally.

 

Recently Enacted and Proposed Regulatory Changes - Recently enacted and proposed changes in the laws and regulations affecting public companies, including the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and rules proposed by the SEC and NASDAQ could cause us to incur increased costs as we evaluate the implications of new rules and respond to new requirements. The new rules could make it more difficult for us to obtain certain types of insurance, including directors and officers liability insurance, and we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. The impact of these events could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on the Company's board of directors, or as executive officers. We are presently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these new and proposed rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of the additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.
