ANIKA THERAPEUTICS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. Nature of Business
Anika Therapeutics, Inc. develops, manufactures, and commercializes therapeutic products for tissue protection, healing, and repair. These products are based on hyaluronic acid (“HA”), a naturally occurring, biocompatible polymer found throughout the body. Due to its unique biophysical and biochemical properties, HA plays an important role in a number of physiological functions such as the protection and lubrication of soft tissues and joints, the maintenance of the structural integrity of tissues, and the transport of molecules to and within cells.
The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biotechnology and medical device industries including, but not limited to, development by the Company or its competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, commercialization of existing and new products, and compliance with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and foreign regulations and approval requirements, as well as the ability to grow the Company’s business.
2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”). The financial statements include the accounts of Anika Therapeutics, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. The year-end consolidated balance sheet is derived from the Company’s audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by US GAAP. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the condensed consolidated financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2015, the results of its operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements filed with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. There was no impact on operating income.
3. Investments
All of the Company’s investments are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of related income taxes. The Company’s investments at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are as follows:

4. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for classifying the fair value measurements, a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which classifies the fair value measurements based on the inputs used in measuring fair value, was established as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; (Level 2) significant other observable inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) significant unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which requires the Company to develop its own assumptions. This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. On a recurring basis, the Company records its investments at fair value.
The Company’s investments are all classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. These investments classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are valued based on matrix pricing compiled by third party pricing vendors, using observable market inputs such as interest rates, yield curves, and credit risk.
The fair value hierarchy of the Company’s cash equivalents and investments at fair value is as follows:

5. Equity Incentive Plan
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options and stock appreciation rights using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Fair value of restricted stock is measured by the grant-date price of the Company’s shares. The fair value of each stock option award during the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

The Company recorded $554,597 and $427,823 of share-based compensation expense for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, for equity compensation awards. The Company presents the expenses related to stock-based compensation awards in the same expense line items as cash compensation paid to the respective recipients.
There were 104,125 stock options granted under the Anika Therapeutics, Inc. Second Amended and Restated Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended, (the “Plan”) during the three month period ended March 31, 2015. There were 23,375 Restricted Stock Awards (“RSAs”) granted under the Plan during the three-month period ended March 31, 2015. There were 9,678 RSUs granted to non-employee members of the Company’s Board of Directors under the Plan during the three month period ended March 31, 2015. The stock options, RSAs and RSUs granted to employees and directors generally become exercisable or vest ratably over four years from the date of grant.
A portion of the stock options granted during the three month period ended March 31, 2015 contained certain performance features, as compared to established targets, in addition to time-based vesting conditions. The compensation cost associated with these grants was estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation method factored for the estimated probability of achieving the performance goals.
As of March 31, 2015, there was approximately $4.9 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), RSAs, and RSUs granted under the Company’s incentive plans. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.1 years.
The total intrinsic value of stock options and SARs exercised during the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $2,975,681 and $7,131,972, respectively. Cash received from the exercise of stock options during the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $963,582 and $1,067,767, respectively.
There were 785,082 options and SARs outstanding under the Company’s incentive plans as of March 31, 2015 with a weighted-average exercise price of $18.64 per share, an aggregate intrinsic value of approximately $17.7 million, and a weighted-average remaining contractual term of 7.4 years. None of the options or SARs outstanding at March 31, 2015 or 2014, respectively, had cash-settlement features.
The Company may satisfy the awards upon exercise, or upon fulfillment of the vesting requirements for other equity-based awards, with either authorized but unissued shares or shares reacquired by the Company. Stock-based awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. Awards containing service conditions generally become exercisable ratably over one to four years, have a ten year contractual term, and sometimes contain performance conditions.
6. Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Unvested restricted shares, although legally issued and outstanding, are not considered outstanding for purposes of calculating basic earnings per share. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SAR’s”), restricted shares, and restricted stock units using the treasury stock method.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined using the first-in, first-out method. Work-in-process and finished goods inventories include materials, labor, and manufacturing overhead. Inventory costs associated with product candidates that have not yet received regulatory approval are capitalized if the Company believes there is probable future commercial use and future economic benefit.
8. Intangible Assets and Goodwill
In connection with the acquisition of Anika Therapeutics S.r.l. (“Anika S.r.l.”), the Company acquired various intangible assets and goodwill. The Company evaluated the various intangible assets and related cash flows from these intangible assets, as well as the useful lives and amortization methods related to these intangible assets. The in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) intangible assets initially have indefinite lives and are reviewed periodically to assess the project status, valuation, and disposition, including write-off(s) for abandoned projects. Until such determination is made, they are not amortized.
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment at least annually on November 30. Additionally, the Company will initiate a review for impairment if events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of the assets are no longer appropriate. Each impairment test will be based on a comparison of the undiscounted cash flows to the recorded value of the asset. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value.
In January 2015 the Company received CE Mark approval for HYALOSPINE, an adhesion prevention gel for use after spinal surgery. As a result of this approval the Company has reclassified $400,000 from IPR&D to developed technology and began amortization on the HYALOSPINE asset.
Intangible assets as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 consist of the following:

10. Commitments and Contingencies
In certain of its contracts, the Company warrants to its customers that the products it manufactures conform to the product specifications as in effect at the time of delivery of the specific product. The Company may also warrant that the products it manufactures do not infringe, violate, or breach any U.S. patent or intellectual property right, trade secret, or other proprietary information of any third party. On occasion, the Company contractually indemnifies its customers against any and all losses arising out of, or in any way connected with, any claim or claims of breach of its warranties or any actual or alleged defect in any product caused by the negligent acts or omissions of the Company. The Company maintains a products liability insurance policy that limits its exposure to these risks. Based on the Company’s historical activity, in combination with its liability insurance coverage, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is immaterial. The Company has no accrued warranties at March 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014, respectively, and has no history of claims paid.
The Company is also involved in various other legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. Although the outcomes of these other legal proceedings are inherently difficult to predict, the Company does not expect the resolution of these other legal proceedings to have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flow.
11. Mitek Monovisc Agreement
In December 2011, the Company entered into a fifteen-year licensing agreement (the “Mitek MONOVISC Agreement”) with DePuy Synthes Mitek Sports Medicine, a division of DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc., to exclusively market MONOVISC in the United States. The Company received an upfront payment of $2,500,000 in December 2011. This non-refundable upfront payment did not have standalone value without the Company’s completion of development obligations, which included obtaining regulatory approval of the product and resolving the related patent litigation. As a result, the Company recognized the upfront payment over the development obligation period. During the first quarter of 2014, the Company received FDA approval of MONOVISC and resolved the patent litigation with Genzyme Corporation. As a result of the full delivery of its development obligations under this agreement, the Company recognized approximately $2,200,000, which represented the remaining balance of deferred revenue relating to the initial $2,500,000 payment, in accordance with current generally accepted principles on revenue recognition. In the first quarter of 2014, the Company also received a milestone payment of $17,500,000 as a result of achieving FDA approval for MONOVISC and resolving the patent litigation with Genzyme. This milestone payment was fully recognized as revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2014. On April 15, 2014 the first U.S. commercial sale of MONOVISC was made by the Company’s commercial partner, Mitek. Under the terms of the Mitek MONOVISC Agreement, the Company earned and collected a milestone payment of $5,000,000, which was fully recognized as revenue in the second quarter of 2014. On November 10, 2014, the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS") assigned a unique Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System code, or J-Code, to MONOVISC. The issuance of this J-Code by CMS allowed for the fixing of national Medicare reimbursement rates for the product. The new J-Code became effective on January 1, 2015. As a result of CMS assigning the J-Code, the Company collected a milestone payment of $5,000,000, which was fully recognized as revenue in the fourth quarter of 2014. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recognized a total of $29,652,778 in milestone revenue related to MONOVISC.

12. Income Taxes
Provisions for income taxes were $2,012,627 and $8,840,782 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, based on effective tax rates of 36.4% and 37.0%. The decrease in income taxes over the three month period ended March 31, 2014 was primarily due to decreased net income as a result of the approximately $19.7 million in milestone and contract revenue recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2014 associated with the Mitek MONOVISC Agreement. See the previous discussion under Note 11. The decrease in the effective tax rate over the three month period ended March 31, 2014 was primarily due to an increase in the expected tax benefit of the domestic production deduction.
The Company files income tax returns in the United States on a federal basis, in certain U.S. states, and in Italy. The associated tax filings remain subject to examination by applicable tax authorities for a certain length of time following the tax year to which those filings relate. The Company’s filings from 2011 through the present tax year remain subject to examination by the IRS and other taxing authorities for U.S. federal and state tax purposes. The Company’s filings from 2010 through the present tax year remain subject to examination by the appropriate governmental authorities in Italy.
In connection with the preparation of the financial statements, the Company performed an analysis to ascertain if it was more likely than not that it would be able to utilize, in future periods, the net deferred tax assets associated with its net operating loss carryforward. The Company concluded that the positive evidence outweighs the negative evidence and, thus, those deferred tax assets are realizable on a “more likely than not” basis. As such, the Company did not record a valuation allowance at March 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

Management Overview
We develop, manufacture, and commercialize therapeutic products for tissue protection, healing, and repair. These products are based on hyaluronic acid (“HA”), a naturally occurring, biocompatible polymer found throughout the body. Due to its unique biophysical and biochemical properties, HA plays an important role in a number of physiological functions such as the protection and lubrication of soft tissues and joints, the maintenance of the structural integrity of tissues, and the transport of molecules to and within cells.
Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Anika S.r.l., has over 20 products currently commercialized, primarily in Europe. These products are also all made from HA, based on two technologies: HYAFF, which is a solid form of HA, and ACP gel, an autocross-linked polymer of HA. Both technologies are protected by an extensive portfolio of owned and licensed patents.
Our proprietary technologies for modifying the HA molecule allow product properties to be tailored specifically to therapeutic use. Our patented technology chemically modifies the HA to allow for longer residence time in the body. We offer therapeutic products from these aforementioned technologies in the following areas:

Please see the section captioned “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Management Overview” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, for a description of each of the above therapeutic areas, including the individual products.
Research and Development
Our research and development efforts primarily consist of the development of new medical applications for our HA-based technology, the management of clinical trials for certain product candidates, including CINGAL and HYALOFAST, the preparation and processing of applications for regulatory approvals or clearances at all relevant stages of product development, and process development and scale-up manufacturing activities related to our existing and new products. Our development focus includes products for tissue protection, healing, and repair. Our investment in research and development has been important over the years, and it has varied considerably depending on the number, size, and timing of clinical trials and studies underway. We anticipate that we will continue to commit significant resources to research and development, including in relation to clinical trials, in the future.
With the acquisition of Anika S.r.l., we enhanced our research and development capabilities, our technology base, and our pipeline of product candidates. Anika S.r.l. has research and development programs underway for new products including for HYALOFAST, an innovative product for cartilage tissue repair, HYALOBONE, a bone void filler, HYALOSPINE, an innovative adhesion prevention gel for use after spinal surgery, and other early stage regenerative medicine development programs. HYALOFAST received CE Mark approval in September 2009, and it is currently commercially available in Europe and certain international countries. During the first quarter of 2015, we submitted an Investigational Device Exemption (“IDE”) to the FDA. Our current plan is to begin a phase III clinical trial for HYALOFAST during the second half of 2015. We completed a HYALOSPINE pilot clinical study in 2012, submitted the CE Mark application in September 2013, and received the CE Mark approval in January 2015.
In February 2014, we received FDA approval for MONOVISC, and Mitek began selling the product in the United States in the second quarter of 2014. MONOVISC is the first FDA-approved, single-injection treatment for osteoarthritis that uses non-animal sourced HA. It is also our first osteoarthritis product based on our proprietary, cross-linked HA technology. We received CE Mark approval for MONOVISC in October 2007, and we began selling in Europe through our distribution network during the second quarter of 2008.
Our second single-injection osteoarthritis product under development is CINGAL, which is based on our HA material with an added active therapeutic molecule designed to provide both short- and long-term pain relief to patients. During the second quarter of 2013, we commenced a phase III clinical trial to obtain the needed clinical data for a CE Mark submission and approval and to support other product registrations, including in the United States. We completed the CINGAL clinical trial and associated statistical analysis during the fourth quarter of 2014. In December 2014, we submitted an application for CE Mark approval of the product, and we submitted a Pre-Market Application to the FDA for U.S. marketing approval in February 2015. During the first quarter of 2015, we completed patient enrollment for a retreatment study related to CINGAL with patients who had participated in the initial clinical trial, and we expect to report safety data in the third quarter of this year.

Product Revenue
Product revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 was $15,514,682, an increase of 8%, as compared to $14,351,405 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. Increases in product revenue from our Orthobiologics, Dermal, Veterinary, and Ophthalmic franchises were partially offset by timing related decreases in revenue from our Surgical products.

Orthobiologics
Our orthobiologics franchise consists of our joint health and orthopedic products. Overall, sales increased 3% for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014. The growth in the first quarter of 2015 reflected increased revenue from international ORTHOVISC and MONOVISC sales. We expect orthobiologics revenue to grow in 2015, led by increased MONOVISC revenue in the United States, as well as overall revenue growth from our viscosupplementation products both domestically and internationally.
13
Dermal
Our dermal franchise consists of advanced wound care products, which are based on the HYAFF technology, and aesthetic dermal fillers. Our advanced wound care products treat complex skin wounds ranging from burns to diabetic ulcers, with HYALOMATRIX and HYALOFILL as the lead products. For the three month period ended March 31, 2015, dermal product sales increased 121% to $416,183, as compared to the same period in 2014. The increase primarily reflects revenue from the agreement we entered into in July 2014, with Medline Industries, Inc. to commercialize HYALOMATRIX in the United States on an exclusive basis through 2019. We expect advanced wound care revenue to increase in 2015 compared to 2014 primarily as a result of geographic expansion, particularly in the U.S. market.
Surgical
Our surgical franchise consists of products used to prevent post-surgical adhesions in abdominal-pelvic, spinal, and ear, nose, and throat (“ENT”) disorders. Sales of our surgical products decreased 21% for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 to $1,389,595, as compared to the same periods in 2014. The decrease of surgical product revenue was primarily due to order timing by our distribution partners. For the full year 2015, we expect revenue from our surgical products to be at a similar level as compared to 2014.
Ophthalmic
Our ophthalmic franchise consists of HA viscoelastic products used in ophthalmic surgery. Ophthalmic product sales increased 142% to $504,472, for the three month period ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to order timing and strong first quarter demand from customers for our ophthalmic products in the United States. For the full year 2015, we expect ophthalmic revenue to decrease due to the termination of the Bausch & Lomb supply agreement for AMVISC, which expired as expected at the end of 2014. Operating margins under this agreement were low, and given that the ophthalmic franchise is not part of our core business, and that it has been steadily diminishing for the past few years, we do not expect this event to have a material impact on our results going forward.
Veterinary
Veterinary revenue from HYVISC increased by 96% to $1,231,932 for the three month period ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014. The increase was primarily due to order timing and increased demand from our distribution partner, Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica Inc. We expect the overall veterinary revenue to be higher in 2015, as compared to 2014, due to increased demand for the product in the United States. We continue to look at other veterinary applications and opportunities to expand geographic territories.
Licensing, milestone, and contract revenue
Licensing, milestone, and contract revenue for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 was $5,642 as compared to $19,658,882 for the same period in 2014. The year over year decrease was primarily the result of the recognition of licensing and milestone revenue during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 of $17,500,000 for milestone payments resulting from the resolution of the patent litigation with Genzyme and the FDA approval of MONOVISC. It also included the recognition of approximately $2,200,000 unamortized upfront payment previously received in December 2011. These payments were related to development obligations under the Mitek MONOVISC Agreement. The FDA’s approval of our MONOVISC product during the quarter-ended March 31, 2014 completed the delivery of development obligations under the Mitek MONOVISC Agreement, and resulted in the immediate recognition of the $17,500,000 milestone payment, as well as the full recognition of prior deferred revenue in the first quarter of 2014. We expect that our licensing, milestone, and contract revenue will decrease in 2015 compared to 2014 in large part due to the multiple significant milestones achieved by us in 2014 in relation to our commercial agreement with Mitek.
Product gross profit and margin
Product gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2015 increased $1,210,856 to $11,201,242 or 72% of product revenue for the period then ended, compared to 70% of product revenue for the period ended March 31, 2014. The increase in product gross margin for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014, is attributable to more favorable revenue mix. This quarter’s product gross margin may not be indicative of the rest of the year due to dynamics such as future revenue mix.
Research and development
Research and development expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 were $2,097,762, or 14% of total revenue, a decrease of $189,953 compared to the same period in 2014. The decrease in research and development expenses is primarily due to the timing and higher level of clinical activities related to the CINGAL pivotal study in the first quarter of 2014 compared with a smaller scale CINGAL retreatment study in the first quarter of 2015. Research and development spending is expected to increase in future quarters as we further develop new products and initiate new clinical trials based on our existing technology assets.
14
Selling, general, and administrative
Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 were $3,604,661, representing 23% of total revenue, an increase of $113,676. SG&A expenses increased for the three month period ending March 31, 2015, as compared to the same periods in 2014, primarily as a result of increases in personnel related costs, including stock based compensation expenses, as well as external professional fees. We expect SG&A expenses to increase in 2015, as compared to 2014, reflective of the support required to grow our business both domestically and internationally.
Income taxes
Provisions for income taxes were $2,012,627 and $8,840,782 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, based on effective tax rates of 36.4% and 37.0%. The decrease in income taxes over the three month period ended March 31, 2014 was primarily due to decreased net income as a result of the approximately $19.7 million in milestone and contract revenue recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2014 associated with the Company’s U.S. license agreement for MONOVISC. The decrease in the effective tax rate over the three month period ended March 31, 2014 was primarily due to an increase in the expected tax benefit of the domestic production deduction.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We require cash to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditures. We expect that our requirements for cash to fund operations will increase as the scope of our operations expands. Historically, we have generated positive cash flow from operations, which together with our available cash and investments have met our cash requirements. Cash, cash equivalents, and investments totaled approximately $112.3 million and $106.9 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Working capital totaled approximately $139.8 million at March 31, 2015 and $133.1 million at December 31, 2014. We believe that we have adequate financial resources to support our business for at least the next twelve months.
Cash provided by operating activities was $3,983,834 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $13,596,657 for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in cash provided by operations was due primarily to decreased net income in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the same period last year, which reflected $19.7 million in milestone and contract revenue associated with our U.S. license agreement for MONOVISC.
Cash used in investing activities was $6,006,020 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to cash used in investing activities of $276,513 for the same period in 2014. The increase in cash used in investing activities is primarily the result of the purchase of investments during the first quarter of 2015.
Cash provided by financing activities was $1,897,445 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $5,504,016 for the same period in 2014. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities in the first quarter 2015 is attributable to the fewer tax benefits received in regards to employees’ exercise of stock options compared to the first three months of 2014.

A discussion of Recent Accounting Pronouncements is included in Note 2 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and updated as necessary in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report.

To the extent that funds generated from our operations, together with our existing capital resources, are insufficient to meet future requirements, we will be required to obtain additional funds through equity or debt financings, strategic alliances with corporate partners and others, or through other sources. No assurance can be given that any additional financing will be made available to us or will be available on acceptable terms should such a need arise.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not use special purpose entities or other off-balance sheet financing techniques, except for operating leases, that we believe have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|
(a)
|
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
|
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the chief executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. On an on-going basis, we review and document our disclosure controls and procedures, and our internal control over financial reporting, and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and to ensure that our systems evolve with our business.
(b)
|
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.
|
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three-month period ended March 31, 2015 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
|
We are involved in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. Although the outcomes of these legal proceedings are inherently difficult to predict, we do not expect the resolution of these other legal proceedings to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flow. During the first three months of 2015, there have been no material changes to the information provided in the section captioned “Part I, Item 3. Legal Proceedings” from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in the section captioned “Part I, Item 1A.
