Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of RigNet, Inc. (the Company or RigNet) include all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying footnotes. Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be perceived with certainty. Estimates may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information becomes available and as the Company’s operating environment changes. Actual results could differ from estimates. These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 2, 2015.

Significant Accounting Policies

Please refer to RigNet’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2014 for information regarding the Company’s accounting policies.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11 (ASU 2013-11), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit when a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. This update defines the criteria as to when an unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a liability and when it should be netted against a deferred tax asset on the face of the balance sheet. ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company adopted ASU 2013-11 as of January 1, 2014. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 did not have any impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (ASU 2014-09), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The core principle of this amendment is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period, with earlier adoption not permitted. ASU 2014-09 can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03 (ASU 2015-03), Interest - Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (Topic 835), which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. ASU 2015-03 is effective for annual and interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. Early application is permitted. The Company will adopt ASU 2015-03 as of January 1, 2016. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-03 to have a significant impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements

Note 2 – Business Combinations

Inmarsat’s Enterprise Energy Business Unit

On January 31, 2014, RigNet closed the acquisition of Inmarsat Plc’s Enterprise Energy business unit for an aggregate purchase price of $26.1 million, including $12.9 million of working capital. Of this aggregate purchase price, RigNet paid $23.3 million to Inmarsat on January 31, 2014 and an additional $2.8 million on July 31, 2014. Under the terms of the deal, Inmarsat sold to RigNet substantially all of its energy broadband assets, which include: microwave and WiMAX networks in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and the North Sea serving drillers, producers and energy vessel owners; VSAT interests in the United Kingdom, U.S. and Canada; an M2M SCADA VSAT network in the continental U.S. serving the pipeline industry; a telecommunications systems integration business operating worldwide; and a global L-band MSS retail energy business.

The assets and liabilities of Inmarsat’s Enterprise Energy business unit have been recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.

RigNet financed the transaction with the credit facility announced on October 3, 2013 (see Note 6—Long-Term Debt) and existing cash on hand.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, RigNet spent $2.3 million on acquisition-related costs, which are reported as general and administrative expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Actual and Pro Forma Impact of the Inmarsat’s Enterprise Energy Business Unit Acquisition

Inmarsat’s Enterprise Energy business unit revenue and net income included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are presented in the following table. These amounts represent operations commencing immediately after the acquisition, February 1, 2014, through the period ended March 31, 2014 (in thousands):

 

		Three Months Ended March 31, 2014
Revenue		$	13,718
Net Income		$	221

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, RigNet’s supplemental pro forma revenue was $80.8 million, calculated as if the Inmarsat’s Enterprise Energy business unit acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2013.

RigNet has not disclosed supplemental pro-forma earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as there is no practicable method to calculate pro-forma earnings. After making every reasonable effort, RigNet was unable to retrospectively allocate indirect costs, including over-head, to the assets that were purchased in the asset carve out. To do so would require RigNet to make assumptions about the intentions of the management of Inmarsat’s Enterprise Energy business unit prior to the acquisition which cannot be independently substantiated. Such retrospective application requires significant estimates of amounts, and it is impossible to distinguish objectively information about those estimates.

Note 3 – Business and Credit Concentrations

The Company is exposed to various business and credit risks including interest rate, foreign currency, credit and liquidity risks.

 

8

---

Table of Contents

Interest Rate Risk

The Company has significant interest-bearing liabilities at variable interest rates which generally price monthly. The Company’s variable borrowing rates are tied to LIBOR resulting in interest rate risk (see Note 6 – Long-Term Debt). The Company does not currently use financial instruments to hedge these interest risk exposures, but evaluates this on a continual basis and may put financial instruments in place in the future if deemed necessary.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company has exposure to foreign currency risk, as a portion of the Company’s activities are conducted in currencies other than U.S. dollars. Currently, the Norwegian kroner and the British pound sterling are the currencies that could materially impact the Company’s financial position and results of operations. The Company’s historical experience with exchange rates for these currencies has been relatively stable, and, consequently, the Company typically does not use financial instruments to hedge this risk, but evaluates it on a continual basis and may put financial instruments in place in the future if deemed necessary. Foreign currency translations are reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Credit Risk

Credit risk, with respect to accounts receivable, is due to the limited number of customers concentrated in the oil and gas industry. The Company mitigates the risk of financial loss from defaults through defined collection terms in each contract or service agreement and periodic evaluations of the collectability of accounts receivable. The evaluations include a review of customer credit reports and past transaction history with the customer. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts which is adjusted when the Company becomes aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations or as a result of changes in the overall aging of accounts receivable.

Liquidity Risk

The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances with major financial institutions which, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company monitors the financial condition of the financial institutions and has not experienced losses associated with these accounts during 2015 or 2014. Liquidity risk is managed by continuously monitoring forecasted and actual cash flows and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities (see Note 6 – Long-Term Debt).

Note 4 – Goodwill and Intangibles

Goodwill

Goodwill relates to the acquisitions of LandTel Communications LLC (LandTel), OilCamp AS (OilCamp), and Nessco Group Holdings Ltd. (Nessco) as the consideration paid for these businesses exceeded the fair value of acquired identifiable net tangible and intangible assets. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually with additional evaluations being performed when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. The Company performs its annual impairment test on July 31^st, with the most recent annual test being performed as of July 31, 2014. The July 2014 annual test resulted in no impairment as the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded the carrying value plus goodwill of that reporting unit. Additionally, the Company performs additional impairment testing upon the occurrence of certain triggering events that may indicate a potential impairment. During December 2014, the Company identified a triggering event associated with the significant decline in oil prices and global oil and gas activity for which an impairment test was performed as of December 31, 2014. This circumstance resulted in a reduction in the Company’s cash flow projections during the revision of internal forecasts. Specifically the TSI segment was impacted by declining contracted backlog, which reduced the estimated fair value of the TSI reporting unit below its carrying value. In December 2014, the Company recognized a $2.7 million impairment of goodwill within the TSI reporting unit as a result of such test. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, goodwill was $29.1 million and $30.1 million, respectively. Goodwill increases or decreases in value due to the effect of foreign currency translation.

Intangibles

Intangibles consist of customer relationships (acquired as part of the LandTel, OilCamp, Nessco and Inmarsat’s Enterprise Energy business unit acquisitions), as well as trade name (acquired as part of the Nessco acquisition), backlog (acquired as part of the Nessco and Inmarsat’s Enterprise Energy business unit acquisitions), licenses (acquired primarily as part of the Inmarsat’s Enterprise Energy business unit acquisition) and internal-use software. The Company’s intangibles have useful lives ranging from 1.7 to 9.0

years and are amortized on a straight-line basis. Impairment testing is performed when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. No impairment indicators have been identified as of March 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, intangibles were $21.2 million and $21.1 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized amortization expense of $1.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

The following table sets forth expected amortization expense of intangibles for the remainder of 2015 and the following years (in thousands):

Note 5 – Restricted Cash

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had restricted cash of $1.1 million and $0.1 million, in current and long-term assets, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had restricted cash of $1.2 million and $0.1 million, in current and long-term assets, respectively. This restricted cash is being used to collateralize outstanding performance bonds for Nessco’s telecoms systems integration projects which were in effect prior to RigNet acquiring Nessco (see Note 6 – Long-Term Debt).

Note 6 – Long-Term Debt

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the following credit facilities and long-term debt arrangements with financial institutions were in place:

Term Loan

The Company has a term loan (Term Loan) with four participating financial institutions. On October 3, 2013, the Company amended its Term Loan, which increased the principal balance to $60.0 million from $54.6 million and extended the maturity of the loan from July 2017 to October 2018.

The amended Term Loan bears an interest rate of LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.5% to 2.5% based on a ratio of funded debt to Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in the credit agreement. Interest is payable monthly along with quarterly principal installments of $2.1 million, with the balance due October 2018. The weighted average interest rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were 2.0% and 1.9%, respectively, with an interest rate of 1.9% at March 31, 2015.

The Term Loan is secured by substantially all the assets of the Company. As of March 31, 2015, the Term Loan had an outstanding principal balance of $49.3 million.

Revolving Loans

Under the amended and restated credit agreement with four participating financial institutions dated October 3, 2013, the Company also secured a $125.0 million revolving credit facility, which includes a $15 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit. As of March 31, 2015, $35.0 million in draws have been made on the facility and remain outstanding.

The revolving loan bears an interest rate of LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.5% to 2.5% based on a ratio of funded debt to Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in the credit agreement. The weighted average interest rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was 1.9% and 1.8%, respectively, with an interest rate of 1.9% at March 31, 2015.

Performance Bonds

On September 14, 2012, NesscoInvsat Limited, a subsidiary of RigNet, secured a performance bond facility with a lender in the amount of £4.0 million, or $5.9 million. This facility has a maturity date of June 30, 2017. As of March 31, 2015, the amount available under this facility was £1.8 million or $2.7 million.

Certain legacy Nessco performance bonds also require the Company to maintain restricted cash balances on a dollar of restricted cash for a dollar of performance bond basis to collateralize outstanding performance bonds. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had restricted cash of $1.1 million and $0.1 million, in current and long-term assets, respectively, to satisfy this requirement. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had restricted cash of $1.2 million and $0.1 million, in current and long-term assets, respectively, to satisfy this requirement.

Covenants and Restrictions

The Company’s credit agreement contains certain covenants and restrictions, including restricting the payment of cash dividends under default and maintaining certain financial covenants such as a ratio of funded debt to Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in the credit agreement, and a fixed charge coverage ratio. If any default occurs related to these covenants, the unpaid principal and any accrued interest shall be declared immediately due and payable. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company believes it was in compliance with all covenants.

Debt Maturities

The following table sets forth the aggregate principal maturities of long-term debt, net of deferred financing cost amortization, for the remainder of 2015 and the following years (in thousands):

 

2015		$	6,305
2016			8,573
2017			8,437
2018			60,677
2019			—
Total debt, including current maturities		$	83,992

Note 7 – Fair Value Disclosures

The Company uses the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of financial instruments:

 

•

Cash and Cash Equivalents — Reported amounts approximate fair value based on quoted market prices (Level 1).

 

•

Restricted Cash — Reported amounts approximate fair value.

 

•

Accounts Receivable — Reported amounts, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, approximate fair value due to the short term nature of these assets.

 

•

Accounts Payable, Including Income Taxes Payable and Accrued Expenses — Reported amounts approximate fair value due to the short term nature of these liabilities.

 

•

Long-Term Debt — The carrying amount of the Company’s floating-rate debt approximates fair value since the interest rates paid are based on short-term maturities and recent quoted rates from financial institutions. The estimated fair value of debt was calculated based upon observable (Level 2) inputs regarding interest rates available to the Company at the end of each respective period.

Note 8 – Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 is not meaningful due to the $6.2 million of restructuring charges recorded primarily in domestic operations which significantly decreased the Company’s consolidated pre-tax book income and thus increased the valuation allowance recognized in the period ending March 31, 2015. The Company’s effective income tax rate was 58.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The Company’s effective tax rate is affected by factors including changes in valuation allowances related to operating in a loss jurisdiction for which a benefit cannot be claimed, fluctuations in income across jurisdictions with varying tax rates, and changes in income tax reserves, including related penalties and interest.

The Company has computed the provision for taxes for the current and comparative periods using the actual year-to-date effective tax rate. The Company’s financial projections for those periods did not provide the level of detail necessary to calculate a forecasted effective tax rate.

Note 9 – Stock-Based Compensation

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company granted 56,455 shares of restricted stock to certain officers and employees of the Company under the 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan (2010 Plan). Restricted shares issued to officers and employees, totaling 56,455 shares, vest over a four year period of continued employment, with 25% of the restricted shares vesting on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date.

The fair value of restricted stock is determined based on the closing trading price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date of the award. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the entire award.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company also granted 174,137 stock options to certain officers and employees of the Company under the 2010 Plan. Options granted during this period have an exercise price of $33.20, a contractual term of ten years and vest over a four year period of continued employment, with 25% of the options vesting on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date.

The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the grant date using a Black-Scholes option valuation model, which uses certain assumptions as of the date of grant.

The assumptions used for the stock option grants made during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, were as follows:

 

		Three Months Ended March 31,
		2015				2014
Expected volatility			44	%			43	%
Expected term (in years)			7				7
Risk-free interest rate			1.9	%			2.2	%
Dividend yield			—				—

Based on these assumptions, the weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $12.99 and $25.74 per option, respectively.

Stock-based compensation expense related to the Company’s stock-based compensation plans for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $0.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2015, there was $6.9 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested options and restricted stock expected to vest. This cost is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 2.6 years.

Note 10 – Related Party Transactions

One of the Company’s former directors, who served on the board until May 2014, is the president and chief executive officer of a drilling corporation which is also a customer of the Company. Revenue recognized from that corporation for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively. All revenue relates to services performed by the Company in the ordinary course of business.

One of the Company’s consulting vendors is wholly owned by one of RigNet’s significant stockholders. Expense associated with this vendor for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $0.1 million. All expenses were incurred by RigNet in the ordinary course of business.

Note 11 – Income per Share

Basic earnings per share (EPS) are computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to RigNet common stockholders by the number of basic shares outstanding. Basic shares equal the total of the common shares outstanding, weighted for the average days outstanding for the period. Basic shares exclude the dilutive effect of common shares that could potentially be issued due to the exercise of stock options, vesting of restricted stock or exercise of warrants. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to RigNet common stockholders by the number of diluted shares outstanding. Diluted shares equal the total of the basic shares outstanding and all potentially issuable shares, other than antidilutive shares, if any, weighted for the average days outstanding for the period. The Company uses the treasury stock method to determine the dilutive effect. In periods when a net loss is reported, all common stock equivalents are excluded from the calculation because they would have an anti-dilutive effect, meaning the loss per share would be reduced. Therefore, in periods when a loss is reported, basic and dilutive loss per share are the same.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, 726,449 shares of unexercised or unvested securities were included in the diluted earnings per share computation due to the dilutive effect.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, there were approximately 566,281 potentially issuable shares excluded from the Company’s calculation of diluted EPS. Of these, 183,462 shares were excluded due to the antidilutive position of the security. The remaining 382,819 shares were excluded because the Company incurred a loss in the period and to include them would have been anti-dilutive, meaning the loss per share would be reduced. There were no antidilutive shares as of March 31, 2014.

Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company, in the ordinary course of business, is a claimant or a defendant in various legal proceedings, including proceedings as to which the Company has insurance coverage and those that may involve the filing of liens against the Company or its assets. The Company does not consider its exposure in these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, to be material.

Regulatory Matter

In 2013, RigNet’s internal compliance program detected potential violations of U.S. sanctions by one of its foreign subsidiaries in connection with certain of its customers’ rigs that were moved into the territorial waters of countries sanctioned by the United States. The Company estimates that it received total revenue of approximately $0.1 million during the period related to the potential violations. The Company has voluntarily self-reported the potential violations to U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and the U.S Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) and retained outside counsel who conducted an investigation of the matter under the supervision of the Company’s Audit Committee and submitted a report to OFAC and BIS. The Company continues cooperating with OFAC and BIS with respect to resolution of the matter.

The Company incurred legal expenses of $0.1 million and zero in connection with the investigation for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, relating to this investigation. The Company may continue to incur significant legal fees and related expenses and the investigations may involve management time in the future in order to cooperate with OFAC and BIS. The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the investigation, the total costs to be incurred in completing the investigation, the potential impact on personnel, the effect of implementing any further measures that may be necessary to ensure full compliance with applicable laws or to what extent, if at all, the Company could be subject to fines, sanctions or other penalties.

Based on the information available at this time and management’s understanding of the potential sanctions, the Company currently estimates that it may incur penalties associated with these potential violations within a range of $0.2 million to $1.5 million. The Company has accrued an estimated liability of $0.8 million as management believes this is the most probable outcome. This estimate is based on RigNet’s internal investigation and no assurance can be given as to what, if any, penalties OFAC or BIS will impose or whether it will identify or allege additional violations or remedies.

Note 14 – Restructuring Costs – Cost Reduction Plan

In the first quarter of 2015, the Company instituted a resource reallocation plan (the plan) to vacate and eliminate redundant facilities and eliminate certain excess positions in response to deteriorating oil and gas industry market conditions including declining oil and gas prices, increased stacking and scrapping of rigs and the declining Baker Hughes U.S. land rig count. The plan primarily consists of a corporate initiative to reallocate resources from the corporate function and the North America Land reporting unit within the Western Hemisphere segment to growth areas of the Company. The Company is undertaking the plan to reduce costs and improve the Company’s competitive position.

In the first quarter of 2015, the Company incurred pre-tax expense of approximately $6.2 million in the corporate segment related to the plan. The restructuring costs include $2.4 million associated with the lay-off of 59 employees, of which $1.9 million and $0.5 million are reported as general and administrative expense and cost of revenue, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The restructuring costs also include $3.8 million associated with ceasing the use of and vacating 6 Company facilities, of which $2.3 million and $1.5 million are reported as general and administrative expense and cost of revenue, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Our Operations

We are a global provider of managed remote communications, telecoms systems integration (project management of turn-key engineered telecommunications solutions) and collaborative applications dedicated to the oil and gas industry, focusing on offshore and onshore drilling rigs, energy production facilities and energy maritime. We focus on developing customer relationships in the oil and gas industry resulting in a significant portion of our revenue being concentrated in a few customers. In addition, due to the concentration of our customers in the oil and gas industry, we face the challenge of service demands fluctuating with the exploration and development plans and capital expenditures of that industry.

Network service customers are primarily served under fixed-price, day-rate contracts, which are based on the concept of pay-per-day of use and are consistent with other service terms used in the oil and gas industry. Our contracts are generally in the form of Master Service Agreements, or MSAs, with specific services being provided under individual service orders that have a term of one to three years with renewal options, while land-based locations are generally shorter term or terminable on short notice without a penalty. Service orders are executed under the MSA for individual remote sites or groups of sites, and generally may be terminated early on short notice without penalty in the event of force majeure, breach of the MSA or cold stacking of a drilling rig (when a rig is taken out of service and is expected to be idle for a protracted period of time).

Segment information is prepared consistent with the components of the enterprise for which separate financial information is available and regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision-maker for the purpose of allocating resources and assessing performance.

Certain operating segments are aggregated into one reportable segment based on similar economic characteristics. Accordingly, we operate three reportable segments, which are managed as distinct business units by our chief operating decision-maker.

 

•

Eastern Hemisphere. Our Eastern Hemisphere segment provides remote communications services for offshore and onshore drilling rigs and production facilities, as well as, energy support vessels and other remote sites. Our Eastern Hemisphere segment services are primarily performed out of our Norway, United Kingdom, Qatar, and Singapore based offices for customers and rig sites located on the eastern side of the Atlantic Ocean primarily off the coasts of the United Kingdom, Norway, West Africa, around the Indian Ocean in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and India, around the Pacific Ocean near Australia, and within the South China Sea.

 

•

Western Hemisphere. Our Western Hemisphere segment provides remote communications services for offshore and onshore drilling rigs and production facilities, as well as, energy support vessels and other remote sites. Our Western Hemisphere segment services are primarily performed out of our United States and Brazil based offices for onshore and offshore customers and rig sites located on the western side of the Atlantic Ocean primarily in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Brazil, and within the Gulf of Mexico.

 

•

Telecoms Systems Integration (TSI). Our TSI segment designs, assembles, installs and commissions turn-key solutions for customer telecommunications systems. TSI segment solutions are custom designed and engineered turn-key solutions based on the customer’s specifications, as well as, international industry standards and best practices. TSI projects include consultancy services, design, engineering, project management, procurement, testing, installation, commissioning and after-sales service. Our TSI segment services are primarily performed out of our United Kingdom and United States based offices for customers globally.

Cost of revenue consists primarily of satellite charges, voice and data termination costs, network operations expenses, internet connectivity fees, equipment purchases for telecoms systems integration projects and direct service labor. Direct service labor consists of field technicians, our Network Operations Center (NOC) employees, and other employees who directly provide services to customers. Satellite charges consist of the costs associated with obtaining satellite bandwidth (the measure of capacity) used in the transmission of service to and from leased satellites. Network operations expenses consist primarily of costs associated with the operation of our NOC, which is maintained 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Depreciation and amortization is recognized on all property, plant and equipment either installed at a customer’s site or held at our corporate and regional offices, as well as intangibles arising from acquisitions and internal use software. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and commissions, travel costs and marketing communications. General and administrative expenses consist of expenses associated with our management, finance, contract, support and administrative functions.

Profitability increases at a site as we add customers and increase value-added services. Assumptions used in developing the day rates for a site may not cover cost variances from inherent uncertainties or unforeseen obstacles, including both physical conditions and unexpected problems encountered with third party service providers.

Recent Developments

Restructuring Costs – Cost Reduction Plan

On February 19, 2015, we announced a resource reallocation plan (the plan) to vacate and eliminate redundant facilities and eliminate certain excess positions in response to deteriorating oil and gas industry market conditions including declining oil and gas prices, increased stacking and scrapping of rigs and the declining Baker Hughes U.S. land rig count. The plan primarily consists of a corporate initiative to reallocate resources from our corporate function and our North America Land reporting unit within our Western Hemisphere segment to growth areas of the Company. We are undertaking the plan to reduce costs and improve the Company’s competitive position.

In the first quarter of 2015, we incurred pre-tax expense of approximately $6.2 million in the corporate segment related to the plan. The restructuring costs include $2.4 million associated with the lay-off of 59 employees, of which $1.9 million and $0.5 million are reported as general and administrative expense and cost of revenue, respectively, in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The restructuring costs also include $3.8 million associated with ceasing the use of and vacating 6 Company facilities, of which $2.3 million and $1.5 million are reported as general and administrative expense and cost of revenue, respectively, in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Known Trends and Uncertainties

Operating Matters

Uncertainties and negative trends in the oil and gas industry could impact our profitability. The fundamentals of the oil and gas industry we serve have deteriorated over the past year. Oil prices have declined significantly from 2014 mid-year levels due to lower-than-expected global oil demand growth and increased supply from U.S. unconventional sources and increased production from several other international countries. Generally, a prolonged lower oil price environment restrains increases in exploration and development drilling investment, utilization of drilling rigs and the activity of the global oil and gas industry that we serve. Several global exploration and production companies have recently announced plans that they will reduce their 2015 capital budgets compared to 2014 as a result of lower oil prices.

The global oil and gas industry that we serve is increasingly demanding newer, higher specification drilling rigs to perform contract drilling services either as a response to increased technical challenges or for the safety, reliability and efficiency typical of the newer, more capable rigs. This trend is commonly referred to as the bifurcation of the drilling fleet. Bifurcation is occurring in both the jackup and floater rig classes and is evidenced by the higher specification drilling rigs operating at generally higher overall utilization levels and day rates than the lower specification or standard drilling rigs. As the offshore drilling sector continues to construct and deliver a larger number of newer, higher specification drilling units, we expect lower specification drilling units to experience reduced overall utilization and day rates leading to a significant number of rigs being either warm or cold-stacked or scrapped. Although management has observed the pace of cold stacking and scrapping of offshore lower specification drilling rigs recently increasing, management plans to aggressively pursue opportunities to provide our services on the higher specification new build offshore rigs.

As of March 31, 2015, we were serving 281 jack up, semi-submersible and drillship rigs which we approximate to be a 32.9% market share of such rigs based on an IHS-Petrodata RigBase Current Activity report as of March 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2015, we were serving 526 strategic initiative sites, which include production facilities, energy support vessels and international onshore rigs. As of March 31, 2015, we were also serving 493 other sites, which includes U.S. onshore drilling rigs, completion facilities, remote support offices and supply bases.

Several drilling rig owners have recently announced and begun to cold stack and scrap drilling rigs which generally are older and not expected to be competitive. We expect that additional announcements are likely in the near future as a result of the potential overall lower global demand for offshore drilling rigs and expectations that many of the scheduled new build drilling rigs are delivered and compete for global rig activity. Since October 1, 2014, we have been notified directly by customers or through public announcements that 29 offshore drilling rigs we serve will be cold-stacked or scrapped. Revenue earned in 2014 from these 29 offshore drilling rigs was $7.0 million. As of March 31, 2015, we have terminated providing communication services on 14 of the 29 offshore drilling rigs as a result of being cold-stacked or scrapped. Additionally, since December 31, 2014, our strategic initiatives and other sites, which includes U.S. land, have declined by 51 and 183 sites, respectively, as a result of declining market conditions. The Baker Hughes U.S. land rig count has declined approximately 53.7% to 894 units in early May 2015 since its recent peak of 1,931 in late November 2014.

In addition, uncertainties that could impact our profitability include service responsiveness to remote locations, communication network complexities, political and economic instability in certain regions, export restrictions, licenses and other trade barriers. These uncertainties may result in the delay of service initiation, which may negatively impact our results of operations.

Additional uncertainties that could impact our operating cash flows include the availability and cost of satellite bandwidth, timing of collecting our receivables, and our ability to increase our contracted services through sales and marketing efforts while leveraging the contracted satellite and other communication service costs.

Regulatory Matter

We cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the OFAC and BIS investigation (described in this Item under the heading “Regulatory Matter”), the total costs to be incurred in completing the investigation, the potential impact on personnel, the effect of implementing any further measures that may be necessary to ensure full compliance with applicable laws or to what extent, if at all, we could be subject to fines, sanctions or other penalties.

Potential Future Goodwill Impairment

During our December 31, 2014 interim impairment test, the fair value of our North America Land reporting unit, in our Western Hemisphere reportable segment, exceeded carrying value by approximately 5.1%. As of March 31, 2015, the goodwill balance held by our North America Land reporting unit was $10.9 million. Any further downturn in our North America Land business could adversely impact the key assumptions in our goodwill impairment test. While we believe that there appears to be no indication of current or future impairment, historical operating results may not be indicative of future operating results and events and circumstances may occur causing a triggering event in a period as short as three months.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 and 2014

Revenue. Revenue increased by $2.6 million, or 3.5%, to $77.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $75.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This increase was driven by the Western Hemisphere segments which increased $6.7 million, or 31.4%, and the Eastern Hemisphere segment which increased $0.9 million, or 2.5%. These increases are primarily due to increased revenue-per-site, increased offshore drilling sites served across the Eastern and Western Hemisphere segments, and an additional month of revenue from the Inmarsat Enterprise Energy business unit acquisition. The increase in revenue was offset by decreased Telecoms Systems Integration (TSI) segment revenue of $5.1 million, or 32.4%, due to decreased demand for our TSI service in an environment of lower oil and gas prices and decreased global oil and gas drilling activity.

Cost of Revenue. Costs decreased by $2.6 million, or 5.6%, to $43.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $46.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Excluding $2.0 million of restructuring charges related to a resource reallocation plan announced on February 19, 2015, cost of revenue would have been $41.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Excluding the restructuring charges, cost of revenue decreased primarily due to declining TSI segment costs associated with decreased demand for TSI services.

Gross Profit (excluding depreciation and amortization) increased by $5.2 million, or 18.2%, to $33.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $28.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Gross Profit (excluding depreciation and amortization) as a percentage of revenue increased to 43.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to 38.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Excluding $2.0 million of restructuring charges related to a resource reallocation plan announced on February 19, 2015, Gross Profit and Gross Profit as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015 would have been $35.7 million and 46.0%, respectively. The increased Gross Profit (excluding depreciation and amortization) and Gross Profit Margin percentage is primarily attributable to growing bandwidth needs of our customers and offshore drilling sites served across the Eastern and Western Hemisphere segments which we served at a higher margin percentage due to a cost savings initiative. Also contributing to increased Gross Profit (excluding depreciation and amortization) was lower TSI segment costs.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $1.3 million to $8.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This increase is primarily attributable to additions to property, plant and equipment from capital expenditures.

Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expense increased by $0.3 million to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This increase is primarily attributable to our marketing and sales force generating increased sales.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased by $6.5 million to $21.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $14.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Excluding $4.2 million of restructuring charges related to a resource reallocation plan announced on February 19, 2015, general and administrative expenses would have been $17.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Excluding the restructuring charges, general and administrative costs increased primarily due to the acquisition of Inmarsat’s Enterprise Energy business unit business on January 31, 2014.

Income Tax Expense. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 is not meaningful due to the $6.2 million of restructuring charges recorded primarily in our domestic operations which significantly decreased our consolidated pre-tax book income and thus increased the valuation allowance recognized in the period ending March 31, 2015. Our effective income tax rate was 58.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Our effective tax rate is affected by factors including changes in valuation allowances related to operating in a loss jurisdiction for which a benefit cannot be claimed, fluctuations in income across jurisdictions with varying tax rates, and changes in income tax reserves, including related penalties and interest.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2015, we had working capital of $107.7 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $60.8 million, current restricted cash of $1.1 million, accounts receivable of $69.1 million, costs in excess of billings of $15.0 million and other current assets of $8.0 million, offset by $7.3 million in accounts payable, $20.2 million in accrued expenses, $8.4 million in current maturities of long-term debt, $5.0 million in tax related liabilities and $5.4 million in deferred revenue.

Over the past three years, annual capital expenditures have grown from $21.9 million to $40.2 million due to continued increase of offshore drilling sites served. Based on our current expectations, we believe our liquidity and capital resources will be sufficient for the conduct of our business and operations for the foreseeable future. We may also use a portion of our available cash to finance growth through the acquisition of, or investment in, businesses, products, services or technologies complementary to our current business.

During the next twelve months, we expect our principal sources of liquidity to be cash flows from operating activities, cash and cash equivalents and availability under our credit facility. In forecasting our cash flows we have considered factors including contracted services related to long-term deepwater drilling programs, U.S. land rig count trends, projected oil and natural gas prices, and contracted and available satellite bandwidth.

While we believe we have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet our current operating requirements and expansion plans, we may elect to pursue additional expansion opportunities within the next year which could require additional financing, either debt or equity.

Beyond the next twelve months, we expect our principal sources of liquidity to be cash flows provided by operating activities, cash and cash equivalents on hand, availability under our credit facility and additional financing activities we may pursue, which may include debt or equity offerings.

Currently, the Norwegian kroner and the British pound sterling are the foreign currencies that could materially impact our liquidity. Our historical experience with exchange rates for these currencies has been relatively stable and, consequently, we do not typically hedge these risks, but evaluate these risks on a continual basis and may put financial instruments in place in the future if deemed necessary. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, 85.4% and 71.4% of our revenue was denominated in U.S. dollars, respectively.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $15.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities during 2015 of $9.2 million was primarily due to decreased net income (loss) coupled with decreased accrued expenses and the timing of paying our accounts payable partially offset by the timing of collection of our accounts receivable.

Our cash provided by operations is subject to many variables, the most significant of which is the volatility of the oil and gas industry and, therefore, the demand for our services. Other factors impacting operating cash flows include the availability and cost of satellite bandwidth, as well as the timing of collecting our receivables. Our future cash flow from operations will depend on our ability to increase our contracted services through our sales and marketing efforts while leveraging the contracted satellite and other communication service costs.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $8.1 million and $31.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 includes capital expenditures of $8.2 million and $9.4 million, respectively. We expect capital expenditures to be slightly lower than the previous year due to declining global oil and gas drilling activity. We believe our 2015 capital expenditures will primarily be focused on growth opportunities arising from new build high specification deepwater drilling rigs and, to a lesser extent, our Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system.

Net cash used during the three months ended March 31, 2014 includes cash paid for the acquisition of Inmarsat’s Enterprise Energy business unit, totaling $23.3 million.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $2.2 million compared to cash provided by financing activities of $23.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 include $2.2 million and $2.2 million in principal payments on our long-term debt, respectively.

Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 consisted primarily of $25.0 million in draws on our credit facility, which was used, along with cash on hand, to finance our acquisition of Inmarsat’s Enterprise Energy business unit.

Credit Agreement

The Company has a $60.0 million term loan (Term Loan) and a $125.0 million revolving credit facility, which includes a $15 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit.

The Term Loan bears an interest rate of LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.5% to 2.5%, based on a ratio of funded debt to Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure defined in the credit agreement. Interest is payable monthly along with quarterly principal installments of $2.1 million, with the balance due October 2018. The weighted average interest rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was 2.0% and 1.9%, respectively, with an interest rate of 1.9% at March 31, 2015. The Term Loan is secured by substantially all the assets of the Company. As of March 31, 2015, the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan was $49.3 million.

Our credit agreement imposes certain restrictions including our ability to obtain additional debt financing and on our payment of cash dividends. It also requires us to maintain certain financial covenants such as a funded debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio of less than or equal to 3.0 to 1.0 and a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.0. At March 31, 2015, we believe we were in compliance with all covenants.

The revolving credit facility matures in October 2018 with any outstanding borrowings then payable. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility carries an interest rate of LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.5% to 2.5%, which varies as a function of the Company’s leverage ratio. As of March 31, 2015, $35.0 million in draws have been made on the facility and remain outstanding. The weighted average interest rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was 1.9% and 1.8%, respectively, with an interest rate of 1.9% at March 31, 2015.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not engage in any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Regulatory Matter

In 2013, our internal compliance program detected potential violations of U.S. sanctions by one of our foreign subsidiaries in connection with certain of our customers’ rigs that were moved into the territorial waters of countries sanctioned by the United States. We estimate that we received total revenue of approximately $0.1 million during the period related to the potential violations. These countries are subject to a number of economic regulations, including sanctions administered by OFAC, and comprehensive restrictions on the export and re-export of U.S.-origin items to these countries administered by BIS. Our customers that are not based in the U.S. are not subject to the same restrictions on operating in these countries as we are, but we are prohibited from providing services or facilitating the provision of services to their rigs in transit to or while operating in a sanctioned country.

Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations relating to sanctions and export restrictions may subject us to criminal sanctions and civil remedies, including fines, denial of export privileges, injunctions or seizures of our assets. We have voluntarily self-reported the potential violations to OFAC and BIS and retained outside counsel who conducted an investigation of the matter and submitted a report to OFAC and BIS. We continue to cooperate with these agencies with respect to resolution of the matter.

We incurred legal expenses of $0.1 million and zero for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, relating to this investigation. We may continue to incur significant legal fees and related expenses, and the investigations may involve management time in the future in order to cooperate with OFAC and BIS. We cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the investigation, the total costs to be incurred in completing the investigation, the potential impact on personnel, the effect of implementing any further measures that may be necessary to ensure full compliance with applicable laws or to what extent, if at all, we could be subject to fines, sanctions or other penalties.

Non-GAAP Measures

The non-GAAP financial measures, Gross Profit (excluding depreciation and amortization), Adjusted EBITDA, Cash Earnings and Cash EPS may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Therefore, these non-GAAP measures should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss) and other performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as gross profit, operating income or net cash provided by operating activities. Further, Gross Profit (excluding depreciation and amortization), Adjusted EBITDA, Cash Earnings and Cash EPS should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures such as net income (loss), gross profit, operating income or any other GAAP measure of liquidity or financial performance. Our Gross Profit (excluding depreciation and amortization), Adjusted EBITDA, Cash Earnings and Cash EPS may not be comparable

to similarly titled measures of other companies because other companies may not calculate Gross Profit (excluding depreciation and amortization), Adjusted EBITDA, Cash Earnings, Cash EPS or similarly titled measures in the same manner as we do. We prepare Gross Profit (excluding depreciation and amortization), Adjusted EBITDA, Cash Earnings and Cash EPS to eliminate the impact of items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance. We encourage you to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate.

The following table presents a reconciliation of our gross profit under GAAP to Gross Profit (excluding depreciation and amortization).

 

		Three Months Ended March 31,
		2015				2014
		(in thousands)
Gross profit		$	25,978			$	22,054
Depreciation and amortization related to cost of revenue			7,739				6,468
Gross Profit (excluding depreciation and amortization)		$	33,717			$	28,522

GAAP defines gross profit as revenue less cost of revenue, and includes in costs of revenue depreciation and amortization expenses related to revenue-generating long-lived and intangible assets. We define Gross Profit (excluding depreciation and amortization) as revenue less cost of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization). This measure differs from the GAAP definition of gross profit as we do not include the impact of depreciation and amortization expenses related to revenue-generating long-lived and intangible assets which represent non-cash expenses. We believe this measure is useful to investors because management uses it to evaluate operating margins and the effectiveness of cost management.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance for the following reasons:

 

•

Investors and securities analysts use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to evaluate the overall operating performance of companies, and we understand our investor and analyst’s presentations include Adjusted EBITDA;

 

•

By comparing our Adjusted EBITDA in different periods, our investors may evaluate our operating results without the additional variations caused by items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance and which are not necessarily comparable from year to year; and

 

•

Adjusted EBITDA is an integral component of the financial ratio covenants of our credit agreement.

Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA:

 

•

To indicate profit contribution;

 

•

For planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and as a key element of annual incentive programs;

 

•

To allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of our business; and

 

•

In communications with our Board of Directors concerning our financial performance.

Although Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluations of companies, Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

 

•

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or other contractual commitments;

 

•

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

 

•

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense;

 

•

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash requirements for income taxes;

•

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the stock based compensation component of employee compensation;

 

•

Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated or amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for these replacements; and

 

•

Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

We believe Unlevered Free Cash Flow is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance for the following reasons:

 

•

Investors and securities analysts use Unlevered Free Cash Flow as a supplemental measure to evaluate the overall operating performance of companies, and we understand our investor and analyst’s presentations include Unlevered Free Cash Flow;

 

•

By comparing our Unlevered Free Cash Flow in different periods, our investors may evaluate our operating results without the additional variations caused by items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance and which are not necessarily comparable from year to year; and

We evaluate Adjusted EBITDA, Cash Earnings, Cash EPS and Unlevered Free Cash Flow generated from our operations and operating segments to assess the potential recovery of historical capital expenditures, determine timing and investment levels for growth opportunities, extend commitments of satellite bandwidth cost to expand our offshore production platform and vessel market share, invest in new products and services, expand or open new offices, service centers and SOIL nodes, and assist purchasing synergies.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $0.9 million to $17.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, from $16.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase resulted from increased revenue from our core offshore operations coupled with the resource reallocation plan and a separate cost savings initiative.

Unlevered free cash flow was $9.0 million in the quarter, an increase of $2.5 million, or 37.9%, over the prior year quarter.

Cash Earnings increased by $1.8 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, to $14.3 million, or $0.82 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, from $12.5 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase resulted from increased revenue from our core offshore operations coupled with the resource reallocation plan and a separate cost savings initiative.

Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are subject to a variety of risks, including foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations relating to foreign operations and certain purchases from foreign vendors. In the normal course of business, we assess these risks and have established policies and procedures to manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency values.

Our objective in managing our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations is to reduce the impact of adverse fluctuations in earnings and cash flows associated with foreign currency exchange rates. We do not currently use foreign currency forward contracts to hedge our exposure on firm commitments denominated in foreign currencies, but evaluate this on a continual basis and may put financial instruments in place in the future if deemed necessary. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, 14.6% and 28.6%, respectively of our revenues were earned in non-U.S. currencies. At March 31, 2015 and 2014, we had no significant outstanding foreign exchange contracts.

Our results of operations and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in interest rates primarily from our variable interest rate long-term debt. We do not currently use financial instruments to hedge these interest risk exposures, but evaluate this on a continual basis and may put financial instruments in place in the future if deemed necessary. The following analysis reflects the annual impacts of potential changes in our interest rate to net income (loss) attributable to us and our total stockholders’ equity based on our outstanding long-term debt on March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, assuming those liabilities were outstanding for the previous twelve months:

 

		March 31,				December 31,
		2015				2014
		(in thousands)
Effect on Net Income and Equity - Increase/Decrease:
1% Decrease/increase in rate		$	840			$	511
2% Decrease/increase in rate		$	1,680			$	1,022
3% Decrease/increase in rate		$	2,520			$	1,533

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2015. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2015, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
