PASSUR Aerospace, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
January 31, 2015
(Unaudited)
1. NATURE OF BUSINESS
PASSUR Aerospace, Inc. ("PASSUR(R)" or the "Company") is a business
intelligence, predictive analytics, and big data company. Our mission is to
connect the world's aviation professionals onto a single platform to improve
global air traffic efficiencies.
PASSUR(R) has a broad and global customer network. PASSUR(R)'s products are used
by all of the top North American airlines, over 125 airlines worldwide, over 60
airports including 73% of the top 30 airports, approximately 200 business
aviation organizations, and the US government.
Our core business addresses some of aviation's most intractable and costly
operational and financial challenges, including underutilization of airspace and
airport capacity, delays, cancellations, and diversions. Several studies have
put the annual direct costs to the system of such inefficiencies at over $30
billion.
Solutions offered by PASSUR(R) cover the entire flight life cycle, from gate to
gate, and result in reductions in overall costs, fuel costs, and emissions,
while maximizing revenue opportunities, as well as improving operational
efficiency, and enhancing the passenger experience. The Company provides data
consolidation, information, decision support, predictive analytics,
collaborative solutions, and professional services.
We provide airlines and airports the ability to get the most out of today's air
traffic management system. As the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") brings
new capabilities online, we, with our customers, will have the ability to
develop additional efficiency solutions.
Essentially all commercial companies using the airspace depend on information
from the FAA for flight tracking. PASSUR(R) augments and integrates FAA
information with data from PASSUR(R)'s independent network (the largest passive
commercial radar network in the world), which has over 180 radar locations
covering North America from coast to coast. PASSUR(R) provides faster aircraft
position updates (from one to 4.6 seconds), and more complete information on
aircraft. PASSUR(R)'s sensors receive aircraft and drone signals in Mode A, C,
S, and Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast ("ADS-B"), providing position,
altitude, beacon code, and tail number, among other information.
PASSUR(R) receives signals from aircraft that, when combined with our historical
database of aircraft and airport behavior, including that recorded by our
network over the last 10 years, allows us to know more about what has happened
historically, and what is happening in real-time. In addition, the historical
database, also accessible in real-time, allows us to predict how aircraft, the
airspace, and airports are going to perform, and more importantly, how the
aircraft, the airspace, and airport should perform.
PASSUR(R) offers companies products that are commercially proven, commercially
accepted, and with a demonstrated Return on Investment ("ROI") for airlines and
airports - providing a critical bridge between the commercial and government
opportunities of the FAA's Next Generation Air Transportation System
("NextGen"), the new national airspace system due for implementation across the
United States in stages over the next 10 years. NextGen proposes to transform
the U.S. air traffic control system from an aging ground-based system to a
satellite-based system.
6
Management is addressing the Company's working capital deficiency by
aggressively marketing the Company's PASSUR(R) Network Systems information
capabilities in its existing product and professional service lines, as well as
in new products and professional services, which are continually being developed
and deployed. Management believes that expanding its existing suite of software
products and professional services, which address the wide array of needs of the
aviation industry, through the continued development of new product and service
offerings, will continue to lead to increased growth in the Company's
customer-base and subscription-based revenues.
If the Company's business plan does not generate sufficient cash flows from
operations to meet the Company's operating cash requirements, the Company will
attempt to obtain external financing.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial information contained in this Form 10-Q represents
condensed financial data and, therefore, does not include all footnote
disclosures required to be included in financial statements prepared in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Such footnote information was included in the Company's annual report on Form
10-K for the year ended October 31, 2014, filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC"); the consolidated financial data included herein should be
read in conjunction with that report. In the opinion of management, the
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments
(which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly
the Company's consolidated financial position as of January 31, 2015, and its
consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended
January 31, 2015 and 2014.
The results of operations for the interim period stated above are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be recorded for the full
fiscal year ending October 31, 2015.
Certain financial information in the footnotes has been rounded to the nearest
thousand for presentation purposes.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PASSUR(R) and its
wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant inter-company transactions and balances
have been eliminated in consolidation.
REVENUE RECOGNITION POLICY
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 605-15 ("Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements"), which requires that four basic criteria
must be met before revenues can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;
(3) the fee is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably
assured.
The Company's revenues are generated by selling: (1) subscription-based,
real-time decision and solution information; (2) professional services; and (3)
annual maintenance contracts for PASSUR(R) Radar Systems.
Revenues generated from subscription and maintenance agreements are recognized
over the term of such executed agreements and/or customer's receipt of such data
or services. In accordance with ASC 605-15, we recognize revenue when persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists which is evidenced by a signed agreement, the
service has been deployed, as applicable, to its hosted servers, the fee is
fixed and determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably
assured. The Company records revenues pursuant to individual contracts on a
month-by-month basis, as outlined by the applicable agreement. In many cases,
the Company may invoice respective customers in advance of the specified period,
either quarterly or annually, which coincides with the terms of the agreement.
In such cases, the Company will defer at the close of each month and/or
reporting period, any subscription or maintenance revenues invoiced for which
services have yet to be rendered, in accordance with ASC 605-15. Revenues
generated by professional services are recognized over the term of such executed
agreements.
7
The individual offerings that are included in arrangements with our customers
are identified and priced separately to the customer based upon the stand alone
price for each individual element sold in the arrangement irrespective of the
combination of products and services which are included in a particular
arrangement. As such, the units of accounting are based on each individual
element sold, and revenue is allocated to each element based on selling price.
Selling price is determined using vendor-specific objective evidence ("VSOE") if
available, third-party evidence ("TPE") if VSOE is not available, or best
estimate of selling price ("BESP") if neither VSOE or TPE is available. BESP
must be determined in a manner that is consistent with that used to determine
the price to sell the specific elements on a standalone basis. Our best estimate
of selling price is established considering multiple factors including, but not
limited to, pricing practices with different classes of customers, geographies
and other factors contemplated in negotiating the arrangement with the customer.
From time to time, the Company will enter into an agreement with a customer to
receive a one-time fee for rights including, but not limited to, the rights to
use certain data at an agreed upon location(s) for a specific use and/or for an
unlimited number of users. These fees are recognized as revenue ratably over the
term of the agreement or expected useful life of such arrangement, whichever is
longer, but typically five years.
COST OF REVENUES
Costs associated with subscription and maintenance revenues consist primarily of
direct labor, depreciation of PASSUR(R) Network Systems, amortization of
capitalized software development costs, communication costs, data feeds,
allocated overhead costs, travel and entertainment, and consulting fees. Also
included in cost of revenues are costs associated with upgrades to PASSUR(R)
Systems necessary to make such systems compatible with new software
applications, as well as the ordinary repair and maintenance of existing
PASSUR(R) Systems. Additionally, cost of revenues in each reporting period is
impacted by: (1) the number of PASSUR(R) Systems added to the Network, which
includes the cost of production, shipment, and installation of these assets,
which are capitalized to the PASSUR(R) Network; and (2) capitalized costs
associated with software development projects. Both of these are referred to as
"Capitalized Assets", and are depreciated and/or amortized over their respective
useful lives and charged to cost of revenues.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Company has a history of successfully collecting all amounts due from its
customers under the original terms of its subscription agreements without making
concessions. The Company records accounts receivables for agreements where
amounts due from customers are contractually required and are non-refundable.
The carrying amount of accounts receivables is reduced by a valuation allowance
that reflects our best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. Net
accounts receivable is comprised of the monthly, quarterly, or annually
committed amounts due from customers pursuant to the terms of each respective
customer's agreement. Account receivable balances include amounts attributable
to deferred revenues.
The provision for doubtful accounts was $30,000 as of January 31, 2015 and
October 31, 2014. In addition to reviewing delinquent accounts receivable, the
Company considers many factors in estimating our reserve, including historical
data, experience, customer types, credit worthiness and economic trends. The
Company monitors its outstanding accounts receivable balances and believes the
provision is reasonable.
PASSUR(R) NETWORK
The PASSUR(R) Network is comprised of PASSUR(R) Systems, which include the
direct and indirect production, shipping, and installation costs incurred for
each PASSUR(R) System, which are recorded at cost, net of accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is charged to cost of revenues and is calculated
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset,
which is estimated at seven years. PASSUR(R) Systems which are not installed,
raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods components are carried at
cost and no depreciation is recorded.
CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 350-40, "Internal Use Software." ASC
350-40 provides guidance for determining whether computer software is
internal-use software, and on accounting for the proceeds of computer software
originally developed or obtained for internal use and then subsequently sold to
the public. It also provides guidance on capitalization of the costs incurred
for computer software developed or obtained for internal use. The Company
expenses all costs incurred during the preliminary project stage of its
development, and capitalizes the costs incurred during the application
development stage. Costs incurred relating to upgrades and enhancements to the
software are capitalized if it is determined that these upgrades or enhancements
add additional functionality to the software. Costs incurred to improve and
support products after they become available are charged to expense as incurred.
The Company records amortization of the software on a straight-line basis over
the shorter of the estimated useful life of the software or revenues, typically
five years. The Company had $1,944,000 of software development projects in
development as of January 31, 2015. There are several new software developments
projects scheduled to begin in fiscal year 2015.
8
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment when circumstances indicate
the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment is recognized
to the extent the sum of undiscounted estimated future cash flows expected to
result from the use of the asset is less than the carrying value. Assets to be
disposed of are carried at the lower of their carrying value or fair value, less
costs to sell. The Company evaluates the periods of amortization continually in
determining whether later events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of
useful lives. If estimates are changed, the unamortized costs will be allocated
to the increased or decreased number of remaining periods in the revised useful
life.
DEFERRED TAX ASSET
The Company had available a federal net operating loss carry-forward of
$8,943,000 for income tax purposes as of January 31, 2015, which will expire in
various tax years from fiscal year 2021 through fiscal year 2034. The Company
evaluates whether a valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets is
required each reporting period. A valuation allowance would be established if,
based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some
portion or all of the deferred income tax asset will not be realized. As of
January 31, 2015, the Company's deferred tax asset was $2,487,000, and it was
determined it is more likely than not that the net operating loss carry-forward
would be used. At October 31, 2014, the Company had available a federal net
operating loss carry-forward of $9,149,000 for income tax purposes, which will
expire in various tax years from fiscal year 2021 through fiscal year 2034.
DEFERRED REVENUE
Deferred revenue includes amounts attributable to advances received on customer
agreements, which may be billed either annually or quarterly. Revenues from such
customer agreements are recognized as income ratably as services are provided.
The Company recognizes initial set-up fee revenues and associated costs on a
straight-line basis over the estimated life of the customer relationship period,
typically five years.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The recorded amounts of the Company's receivables, accrued expenses, and
payables approximate their fair values, principally because of the short-term
nature of these items. The fair value of related party debt is not practicable
to determine due primarily to the fact that the Company's related party debt is
held by its Chairman and significant shareholder, and the Company does not have
any third-party debt with which to compare.
Additionally, on a recurring basis, the Company uses fair value measures when
analyzing asset impairments. 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 the
undiscounted estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the
asset, their carrying values are reduced to estimated fair value.
9
NET INCOME PER SHARE INFORMATION
Basic net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of
shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share gives effect to all diluted
potential common shares outstanding and common stock equivalents during the
period using the treasury stock method. The Company's 2009 Stock Incentive Plan
allows for a cashless exercise. Shares used to calculate net income per share
are as follows:
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
JANUARY 31,
2015 2014
----------- -----------
Basic weighted average shares outstanding 7,654,928 7,344,501
Effect of dilutive stock options 170,892 480,199
----------- -----------
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 7,825,820 7,824,700
=========== ===========
Weighted average shares which are not 632,608 620,801
included in the calculation of diluted
net income per share because their
impact is anti-dilutive
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company follows FASB ASC 718 "Compensation-Stock Compensation", which
requires the measurement of compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair
value on date of grant, and recognition of stock-based compensation expense over
the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of stock options
was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Such fair value is
recognized as an expense over the service period, net of forfeitures.
Stock-based compensation expense was $29,000 and $71,000 for the three months
ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and was primarily included in
selling, general, and administrative expenses.
3. NOTES PAYABLE - RELATED PARTY
The Company had a note payable to G.S. Beckwith Gilbert, the Company's
significant shareholder and Chairman, of $3,865,000 (the "Gilbert Note") as of
January 31, 2015. The Gilbert Note bears a maturity date of November 1, 2016,
with an annual interest rate of 6%. Interest payments are due by October 31 of
each fiscal year. The Company paid $19,000 of the total amount due of $59,000 in
interest incurred on the Gilbert Note through January 31, 2015.
The Company believes that its liquidity is adequate to meet operating and
investment requirements through January 31, 2016.

aviation organizations, and the US government.
Solutions offered by PASSUR(R) cover the entire flight life cycle, from gate to
gate, and result in reductions in overall costs, fuel costs, and emissions,
while maximizing revenue opportunities, as well as improving operational
efficiency, and enhancing the passenger experience. The Company provides data
consolidation, information, decision support, predictive analytics,
collaborative solutions, and professional services.
We provide airlines and airports the ability to get the most out of today's air
traffic management system. As the FAA brings new capabilities online, we, with
our customers, will have the ability to develop additional efficiency solutions.
Essentially all commercial companies using the airspace depend on information
from the FAA for flight tracking. PASSUR(R) augments and integrates FAA
information with data from PASSUR(R)'s independent network (the largest passive
commercial radar network in the world), which has over 180 radar locations
covering North America from coast to coast. PASSUR(R) provides faster aircraft
position updates (from one to 4.6 seconds), and more complete information on
aircraft. PASSUR(R)'s sensors receive aircraft and drone signals in Mode A, C,
S, and Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast ("ADS-B"), providing position,
altitude, beacon code, and tail number, among other information.
PASSUR(R) receives signals from aircraft that, when combined with our historical
database of aircraft and airport behavior, including that recorded by our
network over the last 10 years, allows us to know more about what has happened
historically, and what is happening in real-time. In addition, the historical
database, also accessible in real-time, allows us to predict how aircraft, the
airspace, and airports are going to perform, and more importantly, how the
aircraft, the airspace, and airport should perform.

PASSUR(R) offers companies products that are commercially proven, commercially
accepted, and with a demonstrated Return on Investment ("ROI") for airlines and
airports - providing a critical bridge between the commercial and government
opportunities of the Federal Aviation Administration's ("FAA") Next Generation
Air Transportation System ("NextGen"), the new National Airspace System due for
implementation across the United States in stages over the next 10 years.
NextGen proposes to transform the U.S. air traffic control system from an aging
ground-based system to a satellite-based system.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
REVENUES
Management concentrates its efforts on the sale of business intelligence,
predictive analytics, and decision support product applications, utilizing data
primarily derived from the PASSUR(R) Network. Such efforts include the continued
development of new products, professional services, and existing product
enhancements.
Revenue decreased $132,000, or 5%, to $2,764,000 for the three months ended
January 31, 2015, as compared to the same periods in fiscal year 2014. A
reduction in professional services and maintenance revenue accounted for 76% of
the decline in revenue. Existing customer subscription software revenue was
consistent for the quarter ended January 31, 2015. The Company continues to
develop and deploy new software applications and solutions, as well as a wide
selection of products which address customers' needs, easily delivered through
web-based applications, as well as other new products which include stand-alone
professional services.
COST OF REVENUES
Costs associated with subscription and maintenance revenues consist primarily of
direct labor, depreciation of PASSUR(R) Network Systems, amortization of
capitalized software development costs, communication costs, data feeds,
allocated overhead costs, travel and entertainment, and consulting fees. Also
included in cost of revenues are costs associated with upgrades to PASSUR(R)
Systems necessary to make such systems compatible with new software
applications, as well as the ordinary repair and maintenance of existing
PASSUR(R) Systems. Additionally, cost of revenues in each reporting period is
impacted by: (1) the number of PASSUR(R) System units added to the Network,
which include the production, shipment, and installation of these assets, which
are capitalized to the PASSUR(R) Network; and (2) capitalized costs associated
with software development and data center projects. Both of these are referred
to as "Capitalized Assets", and are depreciated and/or amortized over their
respective useful lives and charged to cost of revenues. The Company does not
break down its costs by product.
When the Company uses its employees to manufacture PASSUR(R) Systems, build
capital assets, and ship and install PASSUR(R) Systems in the field, or for
software development, there is a reduction in cost of revenues due to the fact
that the labor-related costs for these systems are capitalized, rather than
expensed in the period.
Cost of revenues decreased $361,000, or 24%, for the three months ended January
31, 2015, as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2014.
In the current three month period compared to the same period in the prior year,
the reduction in cost of revenues primarily resulted from higher capitalized
costs due to (1) an increase in the number of PASSUR(R) Systems manufactured,
shipped, and installed in the field of $282,000 and (2) higher capitalized
software development costs of $236,000, and was partially offset by lower
capitalized data center costs of $56,000 and higher amortization of $39,000,
plus an increase in compensation related costs of $70,000.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company's research and development efforts include activities associated
with new product development, as well as the enhancement and improvement of the
Company's existing software and information products. Research and development
expenses increased $17,000, or 10%, for the three month ended January 31, 2015,
as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2014, primarily due to an increase
in salaries plus travel and entertainment expenses.
The Company anticipates that it will continue to invest in research and
development to develop, maintain, and support existing and newly developed
applications for its customers.
12
SELLING, GENERAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $94,000, or 9%, for the
three months ended January 31, 2015, as compared to the same period in fiscal
year 2014. The increase in the current three month period compared to the same
period in the prior year was largely due to an increase in compensation and
related costs of $69,000 and higher travel and entertainment expense of $11,000.
INCOME FROM OPERATIONS
Income from operations increased $118,000, or 70%, for the three months ended
January 31, 2015, to $285,000, as compared to the same period in fiscal year
2014. This increase was due to lower costs of $250,000, or 9%, offset by a
decrease in revenue of $132,000, or 5%, in the period.
INTEREST EXPENSE - RELATED PARTY
Interest expense - related party decreased $5,000, or 8%, for the three months
ended January 31, 2015, as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2014, due
to a reduction in note payable - related party of $200,000, compared to January
31, 2014.
NET INCOME
The Company had net income of $141,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the
three months ended January 31, 2015, as compared to net income of $64,000, or
$0.01 per diluted share, for the same period in fiscal year 2014.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's current assets exceeded current liabilities, excluding deferred
revenue by $1,014,000 as of January 31, 2015. The note payable to a related
party, G.S. Beckwith Gilbert, the Company's significant shareholder and
Chairman, was $3,865,000 as of January 31, 2015, with a maturity of November 1,
2016 (the "Gilbert Note"). The Company's stockholders' equity was $11,278,000 as
of January 31, 2015. The Company had net income of $141,000 for the three months
ended January 31, 2015.
Management is addressing the Company's working capital deficiency by
aggressively marketing the Company's PASSUR(R) Network Systems information
capabilities in its existing product and professional service lines, as well as
in new products and professional services, which are continually being developed
and deployed. Management believes that expanding its existing suite of software
products and professional services, which address the wide array of needs of the
aviation industry, through the continued development of new product and service
offerings, will continue to lead to increased growth in the Company's
customer-base and subscription-based revenues.
If the Company's business plan does not generate sufficient cash flows from
operations to meet the Company's operating cash requirements, the Company will
attempt to obtain external financing. The Company believes that its liquidity is
adequate to meet operating and investment requirements through January 31, 2016.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $695,000 for the three months
ended January 31, 2015, and consisted of $141,000 of net income, depreciation
and amortization of $710,000, and stock-based compensation expense of $29,000,
with the balance offset by a reduction in operating assets and an increase in
liabilities. Net cash used in investing activities was $1,161,000 for the three
months ended January 31, 2015, which was expended for capitalized software
development costs, additions to the PASSUR(R) Network, and additional servers at
our redundant server center in Orlando, FL. Net cash provided by financing was
$34,000, for the three months ended January 31, 2015, which consisted of the
exercise of stock options.
The Company is actively addressing the increasing costs associated with
supporting the business, and plans to identify and reduce any unnecessary costs
as part of its cost reduction initiatives. Additionally, the aviation market has
been impacted by budgetary constraints, airline bankruptcies and consolidations,
current economic conditions, the continued war on terrorism, and fluctuations in
fuel costs. The aviation market is extensively regulated by government agencies,
particularly the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation
Safety Board, and management anticipates that new regulations relating to air
travel may continue to be issued. Substantially all of the Company's revenues
are derived from airports, airlines, and organizations that serve, or are served
by, the aviation industry. Any new regulations or changes in the economic
situation of the aviation industry could have an impact on the future operations
of the Company, either positively or negatively.
13
Interest by potential customers in the information and decision support software
products obtained from PASSUR(R) Network Systems and its professional services
remains strong. As a result, the Company anticipates an increase in future
revenues from its airline and airport business. However, the Company cannot
predict if such revenues will materialize. If sales do not increase, losses may
occur. The extent of such profits or losses will be dependent on sales volume
achieved and Company cost reduction initiatives.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
GENERAL
The Company's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of
operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the
Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities based upon accounting policies management has
implemented. These significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 1 to
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31,
2014, and there have been no material changes to such policies since the filing
of such Annual Report. These policies and estimates are critical to the
Company's business operations and the understanding of its results of
operations. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on the
Company's business operations are discussed throughout Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, included in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014, as such
policies affect its reported financial results. The actual impact of these
factors may differ under different assumptions or conditions.
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, "Revenue
from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606" (ASU 2014-09), to supersede nearly all
existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU
2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred
to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be
received for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to
achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and
estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than required
under existing U.S. GAAP including identifying performance obligations in the
contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the
transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate
performance obligation. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending
adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this report, management carried out an
evaluation, under the supervision, and with the participation of, the Company's
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is
defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the "Exchange Act"). The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in
reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's
rules. The Company believes that a control system, no matter how well designed
and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance, not absolute assurance,
that the objectives of the control system are met. Based on their evaluation as
of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that such controls and
procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of January 31,
2015.
14
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial
reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the
Exchange Act) within the fiscal quarter to which this report relates, that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company's internal control over financial reporting.
