FORTUNE INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED,
EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General

Basis of Presentation: The financial data presented herein is unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed by Fortune Industries, Inc. (which, together with its subsidiaries unless the context requires otherwise, shall be referred to herein as the “Company”).  The consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2010 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information or footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.  The Company’s consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2011, and the consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and shareholders’ equity for the period ended March 31, 2011 have been prepared by the Company without audit.  These unaudited financial statements contain, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals and other recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the time these financial statements in the Form 10-Q report were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The operating results for the nine month period ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

Nature of Business: Fortune Industries, Inc. is an Indiana corporation comprised of Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs) which provide full-service human resources outsourcing services through co-employment relationships with its clients.  Wholly owned subsidiaries operating in this industry include Professional Staff Management, Inc. and related entities (“PSM”); CSM, Inc. and related subsidiaries (“CSM”); Precision Employee Management, LLC (“PEM”); and Employer Solutions Group, Inc. and related entities (“ESG”).

The Companies bill its clients under Professional Services Agreements as licensed PEOs.  The billing includes amounts for the client’s gross wages, payroll taxes, employee benefits, workers’ compensation insurance and an administration fee.  The administration fee charged by the companies in this segment is typically a percentage of the gross payroll and is sufficient to allow the companies in this segment to provide payroll administration services, human resources consulting services, worksite safety training, and employment regulatory compliance for no additional fees.

The component of the administration fee related to administration varies, in part, according to the size of the client, the amount and frequency of payroll payments and the delivery method of such payments.  The component of the administration fee related to health, workers’ compensation and unemployment insurance is based, in part, on the client’s historical claims experience.  Charges by the Companies in this segment are invoiced along with each periodic payroll delivered to the client.

Through the co-employment contractual relationship, the Companies become the employer and, as such, all payroll-related taxes are filed on these Companies’ federal, state, and local tax identification numbers.  The clients are not required to file any payroll related taxes on their own behalf.  The calculations of amounts the Companies in this segment owe and pay the various government and employment insurance vendors are based on the experience levels and activity of the Companies in this segment.

Restricted Cash: Restricted cash includes certificates of deposits and letters of credit issued to collateralize its obligations under its workers’ compensation program and certain general insurance coverage.  At March 31, 2011, the Company had $2,428 in total restricted cash.  Of this, $2,158 is restricted for various workers’ compensation programs in accordance with terms of insurance carrier agreements, and the remainder is restricted for certain standby letters of credit in accordance with various state regulations.

Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets:  Goodwill and other intangible assets with indeterminate lives are assessed for impairment at least annually and more often as triggering events occur.  In making this assessment, management relies on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, and transactions and market place data.  There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management’s judgment in applying them to the analysis of both goodwill and other intangible assets impairment.  Since management’s judgment is involved in performing goodwill and other intangible assets valuation analyses, there is risk that the carrying value of the goodwill and other intangible assets may be overstated or understated.

The Company has elected to perform the annual impairment test of recorded goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets as required by SFAS 142 as of the end of fiscal second quarter.  The results of the last completed annual impairment test indicated that the fair value of the Company as of September 30, 2010, exceeded the carrying, or book value, including goodwill, and therefore recorded goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets were not subject to impairment.  The required annual impairment test may result in future periodic write-downs.

 
8

 

Self Insurance:  The Company’s PSM subsidiary terminated its self funded worksite employees’ health and benefit program effective December 31, 2010 and implemented a fully insured program with a national carrier.  The Company had a claim reserve balance of $672 beginning January 1, 2011 and paid $610 of claims during the third quarter.  The Company feels the remaining reserve balance is adequate to cover any outstanding claims based on reports from its third party administrator.

Workers’ Compensation: The Company's PSM, CSM and ESG subsidiaries maintain fully funded, high deductible workers' compensation insurance programs.  Under the insurance policies established at each company, PSM and CSM’s deductible liability is limited to $250 per incident, with an aggregate liability limit of approximately $2,000.  Under the insurance policy established at ESG, the deductible liability is limited to $350 per incident, with no aggregate liability limit.

NOTE 2 – MEASUREMENT OF FAIR VALUE

Effective September 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC 820, which provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP.  As defined in ASC 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price).  In determining fair value in accordance with ASC 820, the Company utilizes market data or assumptions that we believe market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique.  Classification of the financial asset or liability within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement).  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are as follows:

Level 1
Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.  Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2
Financial instruments lacking unadjusted, quoted prices from active market exchanges, including over-the-counter traded financial instruments. The prices for the financial instruments are determined using prices for recently traded financial instruments with similar underlying terms as well as directly or indirectly observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3
Financial instruments that are not actively traded on a market exchange. This category includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the financial instrument. The prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs or valuation techniques.

As of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, the Company did not have any financial assets utilizing Level 1. Financial assets utilizing Level 2 inputs consist of cash held in certificates of deposit with various financial institutions.  The fair value measurement of these items is determined by using prices for recently traded CD’s with similar interest rates. The fair value for the Level 2 financial instruments was $270 and $1,745 as of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively. Financial liabilities utilizing Level 3 inputs included put options related to common stock issued in conjunction with the purchase of ESG. The fair value measurement of this Level 3 item has been estimated using the stated contractual put price of $3.75 per share. The fair value for the Level 3 financial instruments was $0 and $247 as of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively.

NOTE 3 - DEBT ARRANGEMENTS

Term Note

On May 29, 2009, the Company entered into a $250 term loan note with a bank. The term loan note matured on October 28, 2009 and incurred interest at the Prime Rate plus 2.0%. The note was collateralized by certain assets of the Company’s majority shareholders. The loan required the Company to maintain a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 1.25 to 1.0 among other covenants. In January 2010, the Company was held harmless on the note and was released from the obligation by the bank.  The amount forgiven of $250 is included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity as Additional Paid-in Capital.

On April 30, 2010, the Company entered into a $1 million term note with a bank. The term note requires twenty four consecutive monthly payments of principal plus accrued interest at the Bank’s Prime Rate (not less than 4.5% per annum).  The term note matures on April 30, 2012.  The term note is secured by all assets of the Company and the personal guarantee of the Company’s majority shareholder.  The note is subject to certain covenants including minimum cash flow coverage and current ratio requirements.

NOTE 4– EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS AND OTHER STOCK COMPENSATION

Restricted Share Units

Effective April 13, 2006, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. Under terms of the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company may grant options, restricted share units and other stock-based awards to its management personnel as well as other individuals for up to 1.0 million shares of common stock.  During the nine month period ended March 31, 2011, 11,500 restricted share units were issued under this plan.

NOTE 5- SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common Stock

The Company issued 11,500 shares of common stock during the nine month period ended March 31, 2011.

Preferred Stock

On September 25, 2009, the Company reached an agreement with the Chairman to amend the dividend rates on the Series C Preferred Stock with an effective date of July 1, 2009.  From the effective date forward the Series C Preferred Stock will bear an annual dividend of $2 per share in the years ending June 30, 2010 and 2011, $5 per share in the year ending June 30, 2012, $6 per share in the year ending June 30, 2013 and $7 per share thereafter.  All other items of the Series C Preferred Shares remained unchanged.  Dividends of $444 and $444 were accrued and/or paid for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, respectively.

Effective December 31, 2010, the Company revised its estimate regarding the collectability of its $2,500,000 term note receivable with a related party.  Based on this change in estimate, the Company reclassified the note receivable as a reduction to its outstanding preferred stock as prescribed by a Security Agreement between the Company and the related party.  Under terms of this Security Agreement and in the event of default of the term note receivable, the Company obtains the right to equal value of the preferred stock as defined including but not limited to title, interest and dividends.  As of March 31, 2011 and the date of this filing, the Company has no intention to convert the note receivable in the foreseeable future.

NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On September 25, 2009, the Board of Directors approved the Chairman’s request to utilize approximately $8.15 million of the Company’s capital loss carryforward for individual tax purposes related to the Chairman’s personal loss on indebtedness associated with the disposition of the following former wholly-owned subsidiaries: James H Drew Corporation; Nor-Cote International, Inc.; Fortune Wireless, Inc.; and Commercial Solutions, Inc.  The transaction had no effect on assets, liabilities, shareholders’ equity and net income as the Company had established that the capital loss carryforwards presented no material value to the Company and therefore have not been included in the calculation of deferred tax assets.

NOTE 7 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has entered into a new revolving line of credit agreement with KeyBank in the amount of $2.0 million dated April 15, 2011, maturing on May 15, 2012, providing for monthly interest payments at Prime plus 0.75%.  The line of credit is secured by substantially all assets of ESG and the guarantee of Fortune Industries, Inc.  The agreement requires the assignment of a deposit account dated April 15, 2011consisting of a $1.0 million certificate of deposit plus any subsequent interest/deposits.  On April 15, 2011, financial standby and performance standby letters of credit up to an aggregate of $1.8 million were also provided, and are scheduled to mature on May 15, 2012.

OVERVIEW

As a holding company we have historically invested in businesses that we believe are undervalued or underperforming, and /or in operations that are poised for significant growth.  Management’s strategic focus is to support the growth of its operations by increasing revenues and revenue streams, managing costs and creating earnings growth.

Our operations are largely decentralized from the corporate office.  Autonomy is given to subsidiary entities, and there are few integrated business functions (i.e. sales, marketing, purchasing and human resources).  Day-to-day operating decisions are made by subsidiary management teams.  Our Corporate management team assists in operational decisions when deemed necessary, selects subsidiary management teams and handles capital allocation among our operations.

We were incorporated in the state of Delaware in 1988, restructured in 2000 and redomesticated to the state of Indiana in May 2005.

Until November 30, 2008, we classified our businesses under five operating segments:  Business Solutions; Wireless Infrastructure; Transportation Infrastructure; Ultraviolet Technologies; and Electronics Integration.  Effective November 30, 2008, we approved the sale of all of our remaining operating subsidiaries within four of our five segments (Wireless Infrastructure, Transportation Infrastructure, Ultraviolet Infrastructure, and Electronics Integration).  Consequently, as of the effective date of the transaction, our Business Solutions segment is the Company’s remaining operating segment.  The sales transaction, combined with other significant events disclosed in the Companies Form 10-K/A for the year ended June 30, 2010, changed the focus of our Company in fiscal 2009 and thereafter.  This operational change in our Company impacts our comparability of our financial information compared to historical data presented in past filings.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s accounting policies, which are in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, require application of methodologies, estimates and judgments that have a significant impact on the results reported in the Company’s financial statements.  Those policies that, in the belief of management, are critical and require the use of complex judgment in their application, are disclosed on the Company’s Form 10-K/A for the year ended June 30, 2010.  Since June 30, 2010, there have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to the disclosure requirement related to fair value measurements. The amendment, FASB ASC 820-10-65 requires new disclosures related to transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. A reporting entity is required to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. Additionally, in the reconciliation for fair value measurements in Level 3, a reporting entity must present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements (on a gross basis rather than a net number). The new disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not anticipate that our adoption of this amendment will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after March 31, 2011, are not expected to have a significant effect on the company’s consolidated financial statements.

Net income available to common stock shareholders was $0.265 million or $0.02 per diluted share on revenue of $16.8 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 compared with net income available to common stock shareholders of ($0.426) million or ($0.03) per diluted share on revenue of $15.3 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2010.  This represents a $1.5 million or 10% increase in revenue and a $0.691 million increase in net income.

Net income available to common stock shareholders was $0.793 million or $0.06 per diluted share on revenue of $48.2 million for the nine month period ended March 31, 2011 compared with net income available to common stock shareholders of $0.420 million or $0.03 per diluted share on revenue of $45.1 million for the nine month period ended March 31, 2010.  This represents a $3.1 million or 7% increase in revenue and a $0.373 million or 89% increase in net income.

The increase in revenue for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 is primarily due to an increase in worksite employees.

The increase in net income available to common shareholders for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 is primarily due to an increase in revenue with a decrease in expenses, including internal labor costs.

The increase in revenue for the nine month period ended March 31, 2011 is primarily due to an increase in worksite employees.

The increase in net income available to common shareholders for the nine month period ended March 31, 2011 is primarily due to an increase in revenue, with a decrease in expenses, including internal labor costs and legal fees.

Revenue

Revenue for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 was $16.8 million, compared to $15.3 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, an increase of $1.5 million or 10%.  Revenue increased primarily due to an increase in worksite employees.

Revenue for the nine month period ended March 31, 2011 was $48.2 million, compared to $45.1 million for the nine month period ended March 31, 2010, an increase of $3.1 million or 7%.  Revenue increased primarily due to an increase in worksite employees.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 was $3.1 million, representing 19% of revenue, compared to $2.6 million, representing 17% of revenue for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, an increase of $0.5 million or 19%.  Gross profit increased due to an increase in fees and premiums associated with an increase in worksite employees.

Gross profit for the nine month period ended March 31, 2011 was $9.4 million, representing 20% of revenue, compared to $9.2 million, representing 20% of revenue for the nine month period ended March 31, 2010, an increase of $0.2 million or 2%.  Gross profit remained relatively unchanged.

Operating Income

Operating income for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 was $0.419 million, compared to operating income of ($0.285) million for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, an increase of $0.704 million   Operating income increased primarily due to an increase in revenue and a decrease in workers’ compensation claims.

Operating income for the nine month period ended March 31, 2011 was $1.253 million, compared to operating income of $0.536 million for the nine month period ended March 31, 2010, an increase of $0.717 million.  Operating income increased due to an increase in revenue and a decrease in workers’ compensation claims.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $0.007 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2011, compared to $0.002 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, an increase of $0.005 million or 250%.  The increase was due to interest payments on the term note entered into on April 30, 2010.

Interest expense was $0.035 million for the nine month period ended March 31, 2011, compared to $0.010 million for the nine month period ended March 31, 2010, an increase of $0.025 million or 250%.  The increase was due to interest payments on the term note entered into on April 30, 2010.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $0.020 and $0.014 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and, 2010, respectively.  A valuation allowance is necessary to reduce the deferred tax assets if the Company had a federal tax operating loss, and based on the weight of the evidence; it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Management has determined that a $6.7 valuation allowance at March 31, 2011 is necessary to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized.

 
13

 

Income tax expense was $0.057 and ($0.278) million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and, 2010, respectively.  This increase is due to the fact that the Company recognized a deferred tax benefit of $250,000 in the three month period ending September 30, 2009 based on Management’s evaluation of the deferred tax assets and the valuation allowance at that time. A valuation allowance is necessary to reduce the deferred tax assets, if the Company had a federal tax operating loss and based on the weight of the evidence; it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management determined that a $250,000 adjustment to the valuation allowance for the three month period ending September 30, 2009 was necessary to increase the deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. The change in the valuation allowance for that period resulted in the recognition of a tax benefit of $250,000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our principal sources of liquidity include cash and equivalents and proceeds from debt borrowings.  We had cash and equivalents of $6.6 million at March 31, 2011 and $2.3 million at June 30, 2010.  The increase in cash was a result of the Company’s profitable operations for the nine month period ended March 31, 2011 and an increase in accrued expenses in anticipation of a large tax payment due at the end of April 2011.

We had working capital of $2.3 million at March 31, 2011 compared with $1.2 million at June 30, 2010.  The increase in working capital was a direct result of an additional quarter of profitability and positive EBITDA. Current assets are primarily comprised of cash and equivalents, net accounts receivable, and prepaid expenses. Current liabilities are primarily comprised of accounts payable and accrued expenses.

The Company is required to collateralize its obligations under its workers’ compensation and certain general insurance coverage. The Company uses its cash and cash equivalents to collateralize these obligations. Restricted cash was approximately $2.4 million and $2.8 million at March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively.

Total debt at March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010 was $0.5 and $0.9 million, respectively.

Cash Flows

Cash flows provided by operations for the nine month period ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010 were $5.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively.  This increase in operating cash flows was due primarily to an increase in accrued expenses.

Net cash flow provided by (used in) investing activities was $0.005 million for the nine month period ended March 31, 2011 compared to ($0.05) million for the nine month period ended March 31, 2010.  The increase was primarily due to proceeds from the sale of assets.

Net cash flow used in financing activities was ($1.078) million for the nine month period ended March 31, 2011 compared to ($0.168) million for the nine month period ended March 31, 2010.  The increase was primarily due to payments on term debt, the repurchase of common stock for treasury and dividends paid on preferred stock.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMERCIAL COMMITMENTS

There have been no material changes to the Company’s contractual obligations from those disclosed in the Form 10-K/A for the year ended June 30, 2010 under “Item 7-Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As is common in the industries we operate in, we have entered into certain off-balance sheet arrangements in the ordinary course of business that result in risks not directly reflected in our balance sheets. Our significant off-balance sheet transactions include transactions with related parties, liabilities associated with guarantees, letter of credit obligations and surety guarantees.

Guarantees

Significant portions of our letters of credit are personally guaranteed by the Company’s Chairman.  Future changes to these guarantees would affect financing capacity of the Company.

Restricted Cash

Certain states and vendors require us to post letters of credit to ensure payment of taxes or payments to our vendors under workers’ compensation contracts and to guarantee performance under our contracts.  Such letters of credit are generally issued by a bank or similar financial institution.  The letter of credit commits the issuer to pay specified amounts to the holder of the letter of credit if the holder demonstrates that we have failed to perform specified actions.  If this situation were to occur, we would be required to reimburse the issuer of the letter of credit.  Depending on the circumstances of such a reimbursement, we may also have to record a charge to earnings for the reimbursement.  We do not believe that it is likely that any claims will be made under a letter of credit in the foreseeable future.  As of March 31, 2011, we had approximately $2.4 million in restricted cash primarily to secure obligations under our PEO contracts in the Business Solutions segment.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There have been no material changes from the information previously reported under “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in the Form 10-K/A for the year ended June 30, 2010.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President/Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our 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”), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  Based on the foregoing, our President/Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2011.
 
Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the President/Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2011.  In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.
 
Based upon this assessment, we determined that our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2011 was effective.
 
Although the financial statements contained in the Company’s 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 were accurate, the original filing did not include a disclosure that the financial statements reflected a revised procedure in our financial reporting controls and the correction of a previous deficiency.  Management has determined that since the matter was not finally resolved at the time of the filing, this should have been disclosed as an open issue in the filing to reflect the reporting deficiency.
 
This Quarterly Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management's report.
 
Changes in Internal Controls
 
There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our President/Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud.  A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting have been designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
