NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PHI, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“PHI” or the “Company” or “we” or “our”). In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial results for the interim periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the accompanying notes.

Our financial results, particularly as they relate to our Oil and Gas segment, are influenced by seasonal fluctuations as discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. For this and other reasons, the results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for a full fiscal year.

New Accounting Pronouncements – In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance. The standard, originally effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, has been deferred for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption will be permitted as of the original effective date. The effects of this standard on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows are not yet known.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. ASU 2014-15 requires management to assess the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related disclosures in certain circumstances. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We do not believe that the impact of the implementation of this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures will be significant.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which amends existing guidance on income taxes to require the classification of all deferred tax assets and liabilities as non-current on the balance sheet. We are required to adopt this ASU no later than January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted, and the guidance may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which replaces the existing guidance on leasing transactions in ASC 840 to require recognition of the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases on the balance sheet. We are required to adopt this ASU for fiscal years after December 31, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The effects of this standard on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows are not yet known.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718); Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The ASU includes multiple provisions intended to simplify various aspects of the accounting for share-based payments. The ASU is effective for public companies in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years. The effects of this standard on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows are not yet known.

2. INVESTMENTS

We classify all of our short-term investments as available-for-sale. We carry these at fair value and report unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, in Accumulated other comprehensive loss (income), which is a separate component of shareholders’ equity in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These unrealized gains and losses are also reflected in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity. We determine cost, gains, and losses using the specific identification method.

From time to time over the periods covered in our financial statements included herein (and as illustrated in the foregoing tables), our investments have experienced net unrealized losses. We consider these declines in market value to be due to market conditions, and we do not plan to sell these investments prior to maturity. For these reasons, we do not consider any of our investments to be other than temporarily impaired at March 31, 2016 or December 31, 2015. We have also determined that we did not have any other-than-temporary impairments relating to credit losses on debt securities for the three months ended March 31, 2016. For additional information regarding our criteria for making these assessments, see Note 2 to the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

3. REVENUE RECOGNITION AND VALUATION ACCOUNTS

We establish the amount of our allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors relating to the credit risk of specific customers, current market conditions, and other information. Our allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $5.4 million at March 31, 2016, and $5.2 million at December 31, 2015, respectively.

Revenues related to flights generated by our Air Medical segment are recorded net of contractual allowances under agreements with third party payors and estimated uncompensated care when the services are provided. The allowance for contractual discounts was $129.8 million and $103.6 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The allowance for uncompensated care was $30.7 million and $41.9 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Included in the allowance for uncompensated care listed above is the value of services to patients who are unable to pay when it is determined that they qualify for charity care. The value of these services was $2.5 million and $2.7 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The estimated cost of providing charity services was $0.6 million for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. The estimated costs of providing charity services are based on a calculation that applies a ratio of costs to the charges for uncompensated charity care. The ratio of costs to charges is based on our Air Medical segment’s total expenses divided by gross patient service revenue.

Under a three-year contract that commenced on September 29, 2012, our Air Medical affiliate provided multiple services to a customer in the Middle East, including helicopter leasing, emergency medical helicopter flight services, aircraft maintenance, provision of spare parts, insurance coverage for the customer-owned aircraft, training services, and base construction. The initial contract expired in late September 2015 and has been extended through late June 2016 on terms and conditions that have reduced the number of aircraft operated by us and the scope of our services and responsibilities. Each of the major services mentioned above qualify as separate units of accounting under the accounting guidance for such arrangements. The selling price for each specific service was determined based upon third-party evidence and estimates.

We have also established valuation reserves related to obsolete and slow-moving spare parts inventory. The inventory valuation reserves were $16.8 million and $15.4 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Accounting standards require that assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

The following table summarizes the valuation of our investments and financial instruments by the above pricing levels as of the valuation dates listed:

We hold our short-term investments in an investment fund consisting of high quality money market instruments of governmental and private issuers, which is classified as a short-term investment. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. These items are traded with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing on an ongoing basis. The fair values of the shares of these funds are based on observable market prices, and therefore, have been categorized in Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Level 2 inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities that are not actively traded. These items may not be traded daily; examples include corporate bonds and U.S. government agencies debt. There have been no reclassifications of assets between Level 1 and Level 2 investments during the periods covered by the financial statements included in this report. We hold no Level 3 investments. Investments reflected on our balance sheets as Other assets, which relate to our liability under the Officers’ Deferred Compensation Plan, consist mainly of multiple investment funds that are highly liquid and diversified.

Cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and our revolving credit facility debt all had fair values approximating their carrying amounts at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Our determination of the estimated fair value of our Senior Notes and our revolving credit facility debt is derived using Level 2 inputs, including quoted market indications of similar publicly-traded debt. The fair value of our Senior Notes, based on quoted market prices, was $457.5 million and $403.1 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in the financial statements. These costs are now presented as a direct deduction from the debt liability, rather than as an asset. We adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2016. As a result, we reclassified unamortized debt issuances cost in the amount of $3.7 million and $4.0 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, and reduced the carrying value of long-term debt by the same amounts.

Our 5.25% Senior Notes (the “2019 Notes”) will mature on March 15, 2019, are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis by the each of PHI’s domestic subsidiaries, and are the general, unsecured obligations of PHI and the guarantors. Interest is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year. PHI has the option to redeem some or all of the 2019 Notes at any time on or after March 15, 2016 at specified redemption prices. Prior to that time, PHI has the option to redeem some or all of the 2019 Notes pursuant to certain “make-whole” provisions or to redeem a portion of the 2019 Notes with the net proceeds of certain specified equity offerings. The indenture governing the 2019 Notes (the “2019 Indenture”) contains, among other things, certain restrictive covenants, including limitations on incurring indebtedness, creating liens, selling assets and entering into certain transactions with affiliates. The covenants also limit PHI’s ability to, among other things, pay cash dividends on common stock, repurchase or redeem common or preferred equity, prepay subordinated debt and make certain investments. Upon the occurrence of a “Change in Control Repurchase Event” (as defined in the 2019 Indenture), PHI will be required, unless it has previously elected to redeem the 2019 Notes as described above, to make an offer to purchase the 2019 Notes for a cash price equal to 101% of their principal amount.

Revolving Credit Facility – We have an amended and restated revolving credit facility that matures on October 1, 2017. Under this facility, we can borrow up to $150 million at floating interest rates based on either the London Interbank Offered Rate plus 225 basis points or the prime rate (each as defined in our amended and restated revolving credit facility), at our option. Our revolving credit facility includes usual and customary covenants and events of default for credit facilities of its type. Our ability to borrow under the credit facility is conditioned upon our continued compliance with such covenants, including, among others, (i) covenants that restrict our ability to engage in certain asset sales, mergers or other fundamental changes, to incur liens or to engage in certain other transactions or activities and (ii) financial covenants that stipulate that PHI will maintain a consolidated working capital ratio of at least 2 to 1, a funded debt to consolidated net worth ratio not greater than 1.5 to 1, a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.1 to 1, and consolidated net worth of at least $450 million (with all such terms or amounts as defined in or determined under the amended and restated revolving credit facility). As of March 31, 2016, we believe we were in compliance with these covenants.

Cash paid to fund interest expense was $13.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 and $13.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

Other – We maintain a separate letter of credit facility that had $15.3 million in letters of credit outstanding at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. We have letters of credit securing our workers compensation policies and a traditional provider contract.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, we awarded 303,061 performance-based restricted stock units to managerial employees. During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, we awarded 18,930 time-based and 151,566 performance-based restricted stock units to managerial employees, respectively.

8. ASSET DISPOSALS

During the first quarter of 2016, we sold one light aircraft previously utilized in the Oil and Gas segment. Cash proceeds totaled $0.9 million, resulting in a loss on the sale of this asset of $0.4 million. This aircraft no longer met our strategic needs. There were no sales or disposals of aircraft during the first quarter of 2015, but we did have minor sales and disposals of various ancillary equipment.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments – In 2014, we exercised an option to purchase six additional heavy aircraft for delivery in 2015 and 2016. In 2015, we executed an amendment to terminate the purchase of four of the heavy aircraft for delivery in 2016. We took delivery of one aircraft in 2015 and delivery of the final aircraft in January 2016.

Total aircraft deposits of $2.6 million were included in Other assets as of March 31, 2016. This amount represents deposits paid by us as required under aircraft purchase contracts.

As of March 31, 2016, we had options to purchase various aircraft that we currently operate under lease agreements with the aircraft owners. These options will become exercisable at various dates in 2016 through 2019. The aggregate option purchase prices are $67.8 million in 2016, $55.7 million in 2017, $127.0 million in 2018, $150.4 million in 2019 and $22.7 million in 2020. Whether we exercise these options will depend upon several factors, including market conditions and our available cash at the respective exercise dates.

Environmental Matters – We have recorded an aggregate estimated probable liability of $0.2 million as of March 31, 2016 for environmental response costs. We have conducted environmental surveys of our former Lafayette facility located at the Lafayette Regional Airport, which we vacated in 2001, and have determined that limited soil and groundwater contamination exists at two parcels of land at the former facility. We submitted an assessment report for both sites in 2003, updated it in 2006, and received approvals of our remediation plan from the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (“LDEQ”) and Louisiana Department of Natural Resources in 2010 and 2011, respectively. Since such time, we have installed groundwater monitoring wells at these sites and furnished periodic reports on contamination levels to the LDEQ. Pursuant to our agreement with the LDEQ, we are providing samples twice a year for both sites and plan to remove underground storage tanks under one of the sites later this year. In response to our request, LDEQ has approved annual sampling from 2015 to 2019, followed by reevaluation of the sampling frequency. Based upon our working relationship and agreements with the LDEQ and the results of our ongoing site monitoring, we believe, based on current circumstances, that our ultimate remediation costs for these sites will not be material to our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Legal Matters – From time to time, we are involved in various legal actions incidental to our business, including actions relating to employee claims, actions relating to medical malpractice claims, various tax issues, grievance

 

14


Table of Contents

hearings before labor regulatory agencies, and miscellaneous third party tort actions. The outcome of these proceedings is not predictable. However, based on current circumstances, we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, after considering available defenses and any insurance coverage or indemnification rights, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Operating Leases – We lease certain aircraft, facilities, and equipment used in our operations. The related lease agreements, which include both non-cancelable and month-to-month terms, generally provide for fixed monthly rentals, and certain real estate leases also include renewal options. We generally pay all insurance, taxes, and maintenance expenses associated with these leases. All aircraft leases contain purchase options exercisable by us at certain dates in the lease agreements.

At March 31, 2016, we had approximately $281.4 million in aggregate commitments under operating leases of which approximately $38.6 million is payable through December 31, 2016. The total lease commitments include $266.5 million for aircraft and $14.9 million for facility lease commitments.

10. SEGMENT INFORMATION

PHI is primarily a provider of helicopter transport services, including helicopter maintenance and repair services. We report our financial results through the three reportable segments further described below.

Each segment’s operating profit is its operating revenues less its direct expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses. Each segment has a portion of our total selling, general and administrative expenses that is charged directly to the segment and a small portion that is allocated to that segment. Allocated selling, general and administrative expenses are based primarily on total segment direct expenses as a percentage of total direct expenses. Unallocated overhead consists primarily of corporate selling, general and administrative expenses that we do not allocate to the reportable segments.

In January 2016, we offered a Voluntary Employee Retirement Package (“VERP”) to all pilots who had attained age 64. Fifteen employees accepted this VERP, resulting in severance costs of $1.6 million recorded in the first quarter of 2016. At March 31, 2016, $0.8 million of severance costs from these offerings remained unpaid.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, we also offered a voluntary furlough program to our Oil and Gas pilots whereby pilots who elect to participate in the program will receive severance pay and may continue medical coverage at their current employee-paid premiums. Twenty-six pilots accepted the offer with a total severance cost of $0.4 million. Under the terms of the furlough agreement, we must, no later than twelve months from the date of furlough offer each furloughed employee a right to return to work.

Oil and Gas Segment. Our Oil and Gas segment, headquartered in Lafayette, Louisiana, provides helicopter services primarily for the major integrated and independent oil and gas production companies transporting personnel or equipment to offshore platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. Our customers include Shell Oil Company, BP America Production Company, ExxonMobil Production Company, and ConocoPhillips Company, with whom we have worked for 30 or more years, and ENI Petroleum, with whom we have worked for more than 15 years. At March 31, 2016, we operated 154 aircraft in this segment.

Operating revenue from our Oil and Gas segment is derived mainly from contracts that include a fixed monthly rate for a particular model of aircraft, plus a variable rate for flight time. A small portion of our Oil and Gas segment revenue is derived from providing services on an “ad hoc” basis. Operating costs for our Oil and Gas segment are primarily aircraft operations costs, including costs for pilots and maintenance personnel. Total fuel cost is included in direct expense and any reimbursement of a portion of these costs above a contracted per-gallon amount is included in revenue. For the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, approximately 54% and 59% of our total operating revenues were generated by our Oil and Gas segment.

Air Medical Segment. The operations of our Air Medical segment are headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, where we maintain significant separate facilities and administrative staff dedicated to this segment.

As of March 31, 2016, 105 aircraft were assigned to our Air Medical segment. At such date, we operated approximately 100 aircraft domestically, providing air medical transportation services for hospitals and emergency service agencies in 19 states at 70 separate locations. We also provide air medical transportation services for a

Table of Contents

customer overseas. For our overseas program, we have deployed five aircraft at four locations, with four aircraft generating revenues as of March 31, 2016. Our Air Medical segment operates primarily under the independent provider model and, to a lesser extent, under the traditional provider model. Under the independent provider model, we have no fixed revenue stream and compete for transport referrals on a daily basis with other independent operators in the area. Under the traditional provider model, we contract directly with the customer to provide their transportation services, with the contracts typically awarded through competitive bidding. For the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, approximately 43% and 35% of our total operating revenues were generated by our Air Medical segment.

As an independent provider, we bill for our services on the basis of a flat rate plus a variable charge per patient-loaded mile, regardless of aircraft model, and are typically compensated by private insurance, Medicaid or Medicare, or directly by transported patients who self-pay. As further described in Note 3, revenues are recorded net of contractual allowances under agreements with third party payors and estimated uncompensated care at the time the services are provided. Contractual allowances and uncompensated care are estimated based on historical collection experience by payor category (consisting mainly of insurance, Medicaid, Medicare, and self-pay). Estimates regarding the payor mix and changes in reimbursement rates are the factors most subject to sensitivity and variability in calculating our allowances. We compute a historical payment analysis of accounts fully closed, by category.

Provisions for contractual discounts and estimated uncompensated care for our Air Medical segment (expressed as a percentage of gross segment billings) were as follows:

Gross Air Medical segment billings

     100     100

Provision for contractual discounts

     71     74

Provision for uncompensated care

     3     0

These percentages are affected by various factors, including rate increases and changes in the number of transports by payor mix.

Net reimbursement per transport from commercial payors generally increases when a rate increase is implemented. Net reimbursement from certain commercial payors, as well as Medicare and Medicaid, generally does not increase proportionately with rate increases.

Net revenue attributable to Insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and Self-Pay (expressed as a percentage of net Air Medical revenues) were as follows:

Self-Pay

We also have a limited number of contracts with hospitals under which we receive a fixed monthly rate for aircraft availability and an hourly rate for flight time. Those contracts generated approximately 31% and 42% of the segment’s revenues for the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Technical Services Segment. Our Technical Services segment provides maintenance and repairs for our existing customers that own their aircraft. These services are generally labor intensive with higher operating margins as compared to other segments. Depending on when we commence and complete special projects for customers, our

results for this segment can vary significantly from period to period, although these variances typically have a limited impact on our consolidated operating results. The Technical Services segment also conducts flight operations for the National Science Foundation in Antarctica, which are typically conducted in the first and fourth quarters each year.

For the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, approximately 3% and 6%, respectively, of our total operating revenues were generated by our Technical Services segment.

Summarized financial information concerning our reportable operating segments for the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 is as follows:

11. INVESTMENT IN VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

We account for our investment in our West African operations as a variable interest entity, which is defined as an entity that either (a) has insufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its operations without additional subordinated financial support or (b) has equity investors who lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. As of March 31, 2016, we had a 49% investment in the common stock of PHI Century Limited (“PHIC”), a Ghanaian entity. We acquired our 49% interest on May 26, 2011, PHIC’s date of incorporation. The purpose of PHIC is to provide oil and gas flight services in Ghana and the West African region. For the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we recorded a loss in equity of unconsolidated affiliate of $0 million and $0.1 million relative to our 49% equity ownership, respectively. We had $1.5 million of trade receivables as of March 31, 2016 from PHIC. At December 31, 2015, we recorded an allowance for bad debts against this trade receivable of $1.5 million, as we do not anticipate that we will be able to recover them. Our investment in the common stock of PHIC is included in Other assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and was $0 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

12. OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Amounts reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive income are not material and, therefore, not presented separately in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

13. CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

As discussed further in Note 5, on March 17, 2014, PHI, Inc. issued $500 million of 5.25% Senior Notes due 2019 that are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several, senior basis by all of our domestic subsidiaries. PHI, Inc. directly or indirectly owns 100% of all of its domestic subsidiaries.

The supplemental condensed financial information on the following pages sets forth, on a consolidated basis, the balance sheet, statement of operations, statement of comprehensive income, and statement of cash flows information for PHI, Inc. (“Parent Company Only”) and the guarantor subsidiaries. The eliminating entries eliminate investments in subsidiaries, intercompany balances, and intercompany revenues and expenses. The condensed consolidating financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements of PHI, Inc. The equity method is followed by the parent company within the financial information presented below.

The transactions reflected in “Due to/from affiliates, net” in the following condensed consolidated statements of cash flows primarily consist of centralized cash management activities between PHI, Inc. and its subsidiaries, pursuant to which cash earned by the guarantor subsidiaries is regularly transferred to PHI, Inc. to be centrally managed. Because these balances are treated as short-term borrowings of the Parent Company, serve as a financing and cash management tool to meet our short-term operating needs, are large, turn over quickly and are payable to the guarantor subsidiaries on demand, we present borrowings and repayments with our affiliates on a net basis within the condensed consolidating statement of cash flows. Net receivables from our affiliates are considered advances and net payables to our affiliates are considered borrowings, and both changes are presented as financing activities in the following condensed consolidating statements of cash flows.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with (i) the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto (the “Notes”) and (ii) our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, including the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, management’s discussion and analysis, and the risk factor disclosures contained therein.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Form 10-Q and other periodic reports filed by PHI, Inc. (“PHI” or the “Company” or “we” or “our”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and other written or oral statements made by it or on its behalf, are “forward-looking statements”, as defined by (and subject to the “safe harbor” protections under) the federal securities laws. When used herein, the words “anticipates,” “expects,” “believes,” “goals,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects” and similar words and expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on a number of judgments and assumptions about future developments and events, many of which are beyond our control. These forward-looking statements, and the assumptions on which they are based, (i) are not guarantees of future events, (ii) are inherently speculative and (iii) are subject to significant risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations, beliefs, and estimates expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause our results to differ materially from the expectations expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements include but are not limited to the following: reduction in demand for our services due to volatility of oil and gas prices and the level of exploration and production activity in the Gulf of Mexico generally, which depends on several factors outside of our control; our dependence on a small number of customers for a significant amount of our revenue and our significant credit exposure within the oil and gas industry; any failure to maintain our strong safety record; our ability to secure favorable customer contracts or otherwise remain able to profitably deploy our existing fleet of aircraft; our ability to receive timely delivery of ordered aircraft and parts from a limited number of suppliers, and the availability of working capital, loans or lease financing to acquire such assets; the availability of adequate insurance; adverse changes in the value of our aircraft or our ability to sell them in the secondary markets; weather conditions and seasonal factors, including tropical storms and hurricanes; the effects of competition and changes in technology; the adverse impact of customers electing to terminate or reduce our services; the impact of current or future governmental regulations, including but not limited to the impact of new and pending regulation of healthcare, aviation safety and export controls; the special risks of our air medical operations, including collections risks and potential medical malpractice claims; political, economic, payment, regulatory and other risks and uncertainties associated with our international operations; our substantial indebtedness and operating lease commitments; the hazards associated with operating in an inherently risky business, including the possibility that regulators could ground our aircraft for extended periods of time or indefinitely; our ability to develop and implement successful business strategies; changes in fuel prices; the risk of work stoppages and other labor problems; changes in our future cash requirements; environmental and litigation risks; the effects of more general factors, such as changes in interest rates, operating costs, tax rates, or general economic or geopolitical conditions; and other risks referenced in this and other annual, quarterly or current reports filed by us with the SEC. All of our above-described forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements in this paragraph and the Risk Factors disclosures in our SEC filings. Additional factors or risks that we currently deem immaterial, that are not presently known to us or that arise in the future could also cause our actual results to differ materially from our expected results. Given these uncertainties, investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon our forward-looking statements. PHI undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Further, we may make changes to our business strategies and plans (including our capital spending plans) at any time and without notice, based on any changes in the above-listed factors, our assumptions or otherwise, any of which could or will affect our results.

Overview

As described further in Note 10, we are primarily a provider of helicopter services and derive most of our revenue from providing helicopter transport services to the energy and medical industries. Our consolidated results of operations are principally driven by the following factors:

 

    The level of offshore oil and gas exploration and production activities in the areas in which we operate, primarily in the Gulf of Mexico. Operating revenues from our Oil and Gas segment relate substantially to operations in the Gulf of Mexico. Many of the helicopters we have purchased recently are larger aircraft intended to service deepwater activities and the margins we earn on these aircraft are generally higher than on smaller aircraft. During periods when the level of offshore activity increases, demand for our offshore flight services typically increases, directly affecting our revenue and profitability. Also, during periods when deepwater offshore activity increases, the demand for our medium and heavy aircraft usually increases, creating a positive impact on revenue and earnings. Conversely, a reduction in offshore oil and gas activities generally, or deepwater offshore activity particularly, typically negatively impacts our aircraft utilization, flight volumes, and overall demand for our aircraft, thereby creating a negative impact on our revenue and earnings.

 

    Flight volume and patient transports in our Air Medical segment. Our traditional provider programs in our Air Medical segment are typically billed at a fixed monthly contractual rate plus a variable rate for flight hours. The volume of flight utilization of our aircraft by our customers under these programs has a direct impact on the amount of revenue earned in a period. Traditional provider contracts generated approximately 31%, 35%, 39% and 39% of our Air Medical segment revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016, and the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In our independent provider programs, our revenue is directly dependent upon the number of patient transports provided in a given period.

 

    Payor mix and reimbursement rates in our Air Medical segment. Under our independent provider programs, our revenue recognition, net of allowances, during any particular period is dependent upon the rate at which our various types of customers reimburse us for our Air Medical services, which we refer to as our “payor mix”. Reimbursement rates vary among payor types and typically the reimbursement rate of commercial insurers is higher than Medicare, Medicaid, and self-pay reimbursement rates. Moreover, Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement rates have decreased in recent years and our receipt of payments from these programs is subject to various regulatory and appropriations risks. Changes during any particular period in our payor mix, reimbursement rates, or uncompensated care rates will have a direct impact on our revenues.

 

    Direct expenses. Our business is capital-intensive and highly competitive. Salaries and aircraft maintenance comprise a large portion of our operating expenses. Our aircraft must be maintained to a high standard of quality and undergo periodic and routine maintenance procedures. Higher utilization of our aircraft will result in more frequent maintenance, resulting in higher maintenance costs. In periods of low flight activity, we continue to maintain our aircraft, consequently reducing our margins. In addition, we are also dependent upon pilots, mechanics, and medical crew to operate our business. As demand for these skills increases worldwide, we must maintain competitive wages, and we may not be able to recover all of these costs increases through rate increases.

As noted above, the performance of our oil and gas operations is largely dependent upon the level of offshore oil and gas activities, which in turn is based largely on volatile commodity prices. See “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. Since mid-2014, prevailing oil prices have been substantially lower than prices for several years before then. Consequently, several of our oil and gas customers have curtailed their exploration or production levels, lowered their capital expenditures, reduced their staffs or requested arrangements with vendors designed to reduce their operating costs, including flight sharing arrangements and alternative platform staffing rotations. As explained further below, these changes have negatively impacted our oil and gas operations since the first quarter of 2015. Over the past several months, an increasing number of our offshore customers have requested reductions in the number of aircraft under contract, pricing concessions or both, which has further reduced our aircraft utilization rates and intensified pricing pressures. We believe that we may receive additional such requests in the future. Although we can neither control nor predict with any reasonable degree of certainty the length or ultimate severity of the current downturn in the energy industry, we

currently expect further reductions in the operating revenues and net profit of our Oil and Gas segment in 2016 compared to amounts previously reported. These reductions could be quite substantial. For information on the impact of the market downturn on our liquidity, see “– Liquidity and Capital Resources – Long Term Debt” below.

We have extended through late June 2016 our three-year contract that we entered into on September 29, 2012 to provide air medical flight services and related support services to a customer in the Middle East. Under the extension, the number of aircraft operated and scope of our services and responsibilities have been reduced, which has caused our overseas air medical revenues and operating costs to decline significantly compared to prior periods. We are currently negotiating with this customer a five-year replacement contract. Although we expect the replacement contract to be completed and to receive all requisite corporate and governmental approvals by mid-2016, we cannot provide any assurances to this effect.

Quarter Ended March 31, 2016 compared with Quarter Ended March 31, 2015

Combined Operations

Operating Revenues – Operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were $164.0 million, compared to $204.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, a decrease of $40.2 million. Oil and Gas segment operating revenues decreased $32.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, related primarily to decreased aircraft flight revenues for all model types resulting predominately from fewer aircraft on contract and decreased flight hours. Operating revenues in our Air Medical segment decreased $2.3 million due principally to decreased revenues attributable to our traditional provider programs resulting from reduced overseas operations.

Total flight hours for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 were 29,948 compared to 33,449 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. Oil and Gas segment flight hours decreased 4,399 hours, due to decreases in flight hours for all model types. Air Medical segment flight hours increased 852 hours from the quarter ended March 31, 2015, due to increased flight hours in our independent provider operations. Individual patient transports in the Air Medical segment were 4,503 for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, compared to transports of 3,945 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

Direct Expenses – Direct operating expense was $152.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $169.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, a decrease of $16.7 million, or 10%. Employee compensation expense decreased $5.3 million due to a reduction in employees in our Oil and Gas segment resulting from implementation of voluntary early retirement programs (“VERPs”) in the third and fourth quarters of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016. Employee compensation expense represented approximately 48% and 46% of total direct expense for the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We also experienced decreases in aircraft fuel of $1.8 million, aircraft insurance of $1.0 million, and aircraft warranty costs of $1.0 million (which expenses represent 3%, 1%, and 7% of total direct expense, respectively) as a result of the reduction in flight hours. Costs of goods sold decreased $5.5 million, primarily related to reduced services provided to an external customer by our Technical Services segment. Other direct costs decreased $2.1 million on a net basis.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses – Selling, general and administrative expenses were $11.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $11.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The $0.5 million increase was primarily attributable to increased legal fees incurred in the current year.

(Loss) Gain on Disposal of Assets, net – Loss on asset dispositions was $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to a gain of less than $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This decrease was primarily due to the sale or disposition of one light aircraft that no longer met our strategic needs. See Note 8.

Equity in Loss of Unconsolidated Affiliate – Equity in the loss of our unconsolidated affiliate attributable to our mid-2011 investment in a Ghanaian entity was $0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to a loss of less than $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, reflecting reduced demand for offshore flight services due to lower oil and gas exploration activities. See Note 11.

Interest Expense – Interest expense was $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and $7.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, principally due to higher average outstanding debt balances.

Other Income, net – Other income was $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $0.5 million for the same period in 2015, and represents primarily interest income. The $0.1 million increase is primarily attributable to an increase in the amount and rate of return of our short-term investments.

Income Taxes – Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $1.4 million compared to income tax expense of $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The $1.4 million income tax expense recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2016 is comprised of a valuation allowance on certain state tax benefits related to net operating loss carryforwards of $4.1 million, which was partially offset by a $2.7 million tax benefit on our loss before income taxes. The valuation allowance recorded was solely attributable to a change in the Louisiana tax law which limits our ability to fully realize the tax benefit of our existing net operating loss carryforwards in this state. Absent the valuation allowance, our effective tax rate was 36.2% and 39% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively. The higher rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 reflects the impact of recording during that quarter a one-time increase in the valuation allowance on our foreign tax credits.

Table of Contents

Net Loss – Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $8.9 million compared to net earnings of $10.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Loss before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $7.5 million compared to earnings before income tax of $17.0 million for the same period in 2015. Losses per diluted share were $0.31 for the current quarter compared to earnings per diluted share of $0.66 for the prior year quarter. The decrease in earnings before taxes for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 is principally attributable to the decreased profits in our Oil and Gas and Technical Services segments, partially offset by a small increase in the profits from our Air Medical segment. We had 15.6 million weighted average diluted common shares outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

Segment Discussion

Oil and Gas – Oil and Gas segment revenues were $88.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $120.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, a decrease of $32.0 million. Our Oil and Gas segment revenues are primarily driven by contracted aircraft and flight hours. Costs are primarily fixed based on the number of aircraft operated, with a variable portion that is driven by flight hours.

Oil and Gas segment flight hours were 20,737 for the most recent quarter compared to 25,136 for the same quarter in the prior year, a decrease of 4,399 flight hours. The decline in flight hours is attributable to lower flight hours and fewer aircraft on contract for all model types due to reduced oil and gas exploration and production activities in response to lower prevailing oil prices.

The number of aircraft deployed in the segment was 154 at March 31, 2016, compared to 168 at March 31, 2015. We added one new heavy aircraft to our Oil and Gas segment since March 31, 2015. We have sold or disposed of seven light aircraft in the Oil and Gas segment since March 31, 2015. Changes in customer-owned aircraft and transfers between segments account for the remainder.

Direct expense in our Oil and Gas segment was $91.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $100.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, a decrease of $8.4 million. Employee compensation expense decreased $4.1 million due to a reduction in employees resulting from implementation of our VERPs. During the first quarter of 2016, we recorded $1.6 million of severance costs related to these programs. See Note 10. There were also decreases in aircraft fuel of $2.0 million and aircraft warranty costs of $1.1 million due to the reduction in flight hours. Other items decreased $1.2 million on a net basis.

Selling, general, and, administrative segment expenses were $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The $0.3 million increase is primarily attributable to increased legal fees of $0.2 million, and increased bad debt expense of $0.2 million. Other items decreased net $0.1 million.

Oil and Gas segment loss was $5.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, compared to segment profit of $18.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. The decrease in segment profit was due to decreased revenues, which were only partially offset by decreased expenses attributable to the above-described factors.

Air Medical – Air Medical segment revenues were $70.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $72.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This decrease of $2.3 million is primarily attributable to decreased revenues from our traditional provider programs resulting from the reduction in our overseas operations. These decreases were partially offset by higher revenues from our independent provider programs driven by, among other things, an increase in operating bases. Patient transports were 4,503 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to 3,945 for the same period in the prior year.

The number of aircraft in the segment at March 31, 2016 was 105 compared to 100 at March 31, 2015. Since March 31, 2015, we added seven light aircraft to our Air Medical segment. Changes in customer-owned aircraft and transfers between segments account for the remainder.

Direct expense in our Air Medical segment was $57.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $60.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, a decrease of $3.0 million. We incurred decreases in employee compensation costs of $1.8 million due to a reduction in pilot compensation. Component repair costs also decreased $1.5 million as a result of a reduction in scheduled maintenance for certain aircraft. Cost of goods sold also decreased $1.3 million related to certain items that are billed on a cost plus basis on our Middle East project. Other items increased, net $1.6 million.

Table of Contents

Selling, general and administrative segment expenses were $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as well as the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Air Medical segment profit was $10.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, compared to a segment profit of $9.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. The $0.7 million increase in profit is attributable to the decreased operating expenses described above.

Technical Services – Technical Services revenues were $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $11.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease in revenue is due primarily to a decrease of technical services provided to a third party customer. The current projects with this customer were near completion in the first quarter of 2016, after which additional projects are expected to begin and continue through 2016. Direct expenses decreased $5.3 million compared to the prior year quarter, principally due to reduced operations. Technical Services segment earnings were $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to segment profit of $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

For additional information on our segments, see Note 10.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our ongoing liquidity requirements arise primarily from the purchase or leasing of aircraft, the maintenance and refurbishment of aircraft, improvement of facilities, the acquisition of equipment and inventory, and other working capital needs. Our principal sources of liquidity historically have been net cash provided by our operations, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, and proceeds from periodic senior note offerings. To the extent we do not use cash, short-term investments or borrowings to finance our aircraft acquisitions, we frequently enter into operating leases to fund these acquisitions.

Historical Cash and Cash Flow Information

Liquidity Our cash position was $6.5 million at March 31, 2016, compared to $2.4 million at December 31, 2015. Short-term investments were $286.1 million at March 31, 2016, compared to $284.5 million at December 31, 2015. We also had $15.3 million in restricted investments at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 securing outstanding letters of credit.

As noted in greater detail above, the current downturn in the oil and gas industry has negatively impacted our offshore operations since the first quarter of 2015, and we expect further reductions in the operating revenues and net profit of our Oil and Gas segment in 2016. Through December 31, 2015, these negative variances did not materially impact our liquidity or the cash flows reported in our consolidated cash flows statements, as described in further detail below. Nonetheless, if the current oil and gas downturn persists, we expect that it will ultimately have a negative impact on our consolidated operating cash flow, liquidity, and compliance with our financial covenants under our credit facility.

Operating activities – Net cash used in operating activities was $16.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to net cash provided of $29.9 million for the same period in 2015, a decrease of $46.2 million. Net cash provided by operating activities (excluding changes in operating assets and liabilities) contributed $11.8 million of cash flow in the first quarter of 2016, compared to $35.4 million in the first quarter of 2015, a decrease of $23.6 million, primarily due to the decreased profitability of our oil and gas segment. Net changes in operating assets and liabilities in first quarter of 2016 used cash of $28.1 million, compared to a net use of cash of $5.5 million in first quarter of 2015. The $22.6 million increase in net use of cash was primarily due to $32.7 million less cash collected in first quarter of 2016 related to our Middle East contract, due to timing of payments. Other increases in the use of cash for 2016 were due to an increase in our aircraft parts inventory of $3.4 million for a certain model type and payments related to a VERP of $4.7 million. Finally, items offsetting the use of cash in 2016 compared to 2015 were a decrease of $9.1 million in bonuses paid, and a $9.1 million decrease in payments made to major suppliers.

Investing activities – Net cash used in investing activities was $9.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $27.0 million for the same period in 2015. Purchases and sales of short-term investments used $1.5 million of cash during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $4.8 million in the comparable prior year period. Gross proceeds from asset dispositions in the first quarter of 2016 were $0.9 million. There were no gross proceeds from asset dispositions in the first quarter of 2015. Capital expenditures were $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $22.1 million for the same period in 2015. Capital expenditures for aircraft and aircraft improvements accounted for $8.0 million and $20.8 million of these totals for the three months ended 2016 and 2015, respectively, which reflects a decrease in the number of aircraft purchased by us in the first three months of 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015. During the first quarter of 2016, we took delivery of one heavy aircraft that we intend to finance with an operating lease in the second quarter. During the same period in 2015, we exercised a purchase option on one heavy aircraft and took delivery of another heavy aircraft as to which we executed an operating lease in the second quarter of 2015.

Financing activities – Financing activities during the first quarter of 2016 included net borrowings of $30.2 million on our revolving credit facility and $0.5 million used to repurchase shares of our non-voting common stock to satisfy withholding tax obligations of employees.

Financing activities for the first quarter of 2015 included net payments of $3.4 million on our revolving credit facility and $2.2 million used related to the purchase of shares of our non-voting common stock to satisfy withholding tax obligations of employees.

Long Term Debt

As of March 31, 2016, our total long-term debt was $587.7 million, consisting of our $500 million of 5.25% Senior Notes due 2019 and $87.7 million borrowed under our revolving credit facility.

Revolving Credit Facility – We have an amended and restated revolving credit facility (our “credit facility”) that matures on October 1, 2017. Under our credit facility, we can borrow up to $150 million at floating interest rates based on either the London Interbank Offered Rate plus 225 basis points or the prime rate (each as defined in our credit facility), at our option. Our credit facility includes usual and customary covenants and events of default for credit facilities of its type. Our ability to borrow under the credit facility is conditioned upon our continued compliance with such covenants, including, among others, (i) covenants that restrict our ability to engage in certain asset sales, mergers or other fundamental changes, to incur liens or to engage in certain other transactions or activities and (ii) financial covenants that stipulate that PHI will maintain a consolidated working capital ratio of at least 2 to 1, a funded debt to consolidated net worth ratio not greater than 1.5 to 1, a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.1 to 1, and consolidated net worth of at least $450 million (with all such terms or amounts as defined in or determined under the credit facility).

At March 31, 2016, we had $87.7 million in borrowings under our credit facility. At the same date in 2015, we had $39.6 million in borrowings under our credit facility.

Other – We maintain a separate letter of credit facility described in Note 5 that had $15.3 million of letters of credit outstanding at March 31, 2016.

For additional information on our long term debt, see Note 5.

(2) “Long-term debt” reflects the principal amount of debt due under our outstanding senior notes and our revolving credit facility, whereas “senior notes interest” reflects interest accrued under our senior notes only. The actual amount of principal and interest paid in all years may differ from the amounts presented above due to the possible future refinancing of outstanding debt or the issuance of new debt.

The table above reflects only contractual obligations as of March 31, 2016 and excludes, among other things, (i) commitments made thereafter, (ii) options to purchase assets, including those described in the next paragraph, (iii) contingent liabilities, (iv) capital expenditures that we plan, but are not committed, to make and (v) open purchase orders.

As of March 31, 2016, we had options to purchase various aircraft that we currently operate under lease agreements with the aircraft owners. These options will become exercisable at various dates between 2016 and 2020. The aggregate option purchase prices are $67.8 million in 2016, $55.7 million in 2017, $127.0 million in 2018, $150.4 million in 2019, and $22.7 million in 2020. Whether we exercise these options will depend upon several factors, including market conditions and our available cash at the respective exercise dates.

On January 15, 2016, we took initial delivery of one heavy aircraft. The aircraft will be finally delivered in May 2016 when completion services are finished. We are currently pursuing financing with an operating lease.

We intend to fund the above contractual obligations and purchase options through a combination of cash on hand, cash flow from operations, borrowings under our credit facility, refinancing transactions or sale-leaseback transactions.

For additional information on our contemplated capital expenditures, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Capital Expenditures” in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

We have not paid dividends on either class of our common stock since 1999 and do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of changes in the value of financial instruments, or in future net income or cash flows, in response to changing market conditions.

Our earnings are subject to changes in short-term interest rates due to the variable interest rate payable under our credit facility debt. Based on the $39.8 million weighted average loan balance during the three months ended March 31, 2016, a 10% increase (0.245%) in interest rates would have reduced our annual pre-tax earnings approximately $0.1 million, but would not have changed the fair market value of this debt.

Our $500 million of outstanding 5.25% Senior Notes due 2019 bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.25% and therefore changes in market interest rates do not affect our interest payment obligations on the notes. The fair market value of our 5.25% Senior Notes will vary as changes occur to general market interest rates, the remaining maturity of the notes, and our creditworthiness. At March 31, 2016, the market value of the notes was approximately $457.5 million, based on quoted market prices.

The interest and other payments we earn and recognize on our investments in money market funds, U.S. Government agencies debt, commercial paper, and corporate bonds and notes are subject to the risk of declines in general market interest rates.

See Note 4 for additional information.

 

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company’s management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or furnish under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The effectiveness of our or any system of disclosure controls and procedures is subject to certain limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing and evaluating the controls and procedures, the assumptions used in identifying the likelihood of future events and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. As a result, we cannot assure you that our disclosure controls and procedures will detect all errors or fraud.
