Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

April 30, 2012

 

(Unaudited)

 

1. Nature of Business

 

PASSUR Aerospace, Inc. (the “Company”, “PASSUR®”, “we”, or “our”) is a business intelligence company which develops predictive analytics built on proprietary algorithms and on concurrent integration and simultaneous mining of multiple databases. The Company offers vertical expertise in the aviation market – providing data consolidation, information, decision support, predictive analytics, collaborative solutions, and professional services for aviation operations worldwide.

 

The Company’s principal business is to provide its customers business intelligence and predictive analytics solutions which improve financial performance, enhance operational efficiency, increase safety and security, and improve the passenger experience. These analytics are derived from the Company’s PASSUR® Proprietary Surveillance Network (the “PASSUR® Network”) of live flight information, updated from 1 to 4.6 seconds and include decision support software, predictive analytics, and web-delivered collaborative decision solutions, enhanced by professional services provided by industry experts.

 

The Company serves most major airlines (including six of the top eight North American airlines, as well as the top five hub and spoke airlines), approximately sixty airport customers (including twenty three of the top thirty North American airports), and more than two hundred corporate aviation customers, as well as the U.S. government, including the Federal Aviation Administration and Transportation Security Administration.

 

The Company believes its predictive analytics save its customers substantial costs annually by enabling preemptive decision making and more effective operational planning. The PASSUR® System simultaneously scans, correlates, and pulls information from the Company’s PASSUR® Network together with multiple additional government and private databases.

 

The PASSUR® Network has one hundred and fifty-five Company-owned PASSUR® Radar Systems, covering ninety-eight of the top one hundred North American airports. Other PASSUR®s are located in Europe and Asia. Flight tracks are updated between 1 and 4.6 seconds, thereby providing a system which is user-friendly and useful for decision-making.

 

The Company delivers these tools primarily on “web-dashboards” – a single page or screen which aggregates many different sets of information into a simplified presentation of performance indicators and exception alerts to support quick, informed, and proactive decisions with reduced need for human processing and calculation. Almost all of the PASSUR® solutions have a live or real-time component, and most also include alerts, decision support, collaborative components, immediate playback or review, as well as analysis. The PASSUR® products are protected by multiple patents and patent pending applications.

 

Management is addressing the Company’s working capital deficiency by aggressively marketing the Company’s PASSUR® Network Systems information capabilities in its existing product and professional service lines, as well as in new products and professional services, which are continually being developed and deployed. Management believes that expanding its existing suite of software products and professional services, which address the wide array of needs of the aviation industry, through the continued development of new product and service offerings, will continue to lead to increased growth in the Company’s customer-base and subscription-based revenues. Additionally, if the Company’s business plan does not generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet the Company’s operating cash requirements, the Company will attempt to obtain external financing, and if such external financing is not obtained, the Company has received an unconditional and irrevocable commitment from its significant shareholder and Chairman to receive the necessary continuing financial support to meet such obligations through June 4, 2013.

2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

 

The consolidated financial information contained in this Form 10-Q represents condensed financial data and, therefore, does not include all footnote disclosures required to be included in financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Such footnote information was included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2011, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”); the consolidated financial data included herein should be read in conjunction with that report. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position at April 30, 2012, and its consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended April 30, 2012 and 2011.

 

The results of operations for the interim period stated above are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be recorded for the full fiscal year ending October 31, 2012.

 

Certain financial information in the footnotes has been rounded to the nearest thousand for presentation purposes.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PASSUR Aerospace, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Revenue Recognition Policy

 

The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 985-605 (“Software Revenue Recognition”), as amended. ASC 985-605 delineates the accounting practices for software products, maintenance, support services, and professional services revenue. Under ASC 985-605, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is probable. The Company recognizes service and maintenance revenues on a straight-line basis over the service contract period. Revenues for data subscription services are recognized on a monthly basis upon the execution of an agreement and the customer’s receipt of the data. The Company performs certain professional services for customers on a subscription basis that have stand-alone value. Such subscription-based professional services are recognized over the subscription period.

 

The Company recognizes license fee revenues on a straight-line basis over the term of the license agreement, which typically does not exceed five years.

 

The Company recognizes initial set-up fee revenues and associated costs on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of the customer relationship period, typically five years.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Costs associated with subscription and maintenance revenues consist primarily of direct labor, depreciation of PASSUR® Network Systems, amortization of capitalized software development costs, communication costs, data feeds, allocated overhead costs, travel and entertainment, and consulting fees. Also included in cost of revenues are costs associated with upgrades to PASSUR® Network Systems necessary to make such systems compatible with new software applications, as well as the ordinary repair and maintenance of existing PASSUR® Network Systems. Additionally, cost of revenues in each reporting period is impacted by: (1) the number of PASSUR® Network units added to the Network, which include the cost of production, shipment, and installation of these assets, which are capitalized to the PASSUR® Network; and (2) capitalized costs associated with software development projects. Both of these are referred to as “Capitalized Assets”, and are depreciated and/or amortized over their respective useful lives and charged to cost of revenues.

Page 8
 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company uses installment license and/or maintenance agreements as part of its standard business practice. The Company has a history of successfully collecting all amounts due under the original payment terms without making concessions. Net accounts receivable is comprised of the monthly, quarterly, or annual committed amounts due from customers pursuant to the terms of each respective customer’s agreement. These account receivable balances include unearned revenue attributable to deferred subscription revenues, deferred maintenance revenues, and unamortized license fee revenues.

 

American Airlines’ parent corporation, AMR Corporation, filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on November 29, 2011. In December 2011, the Company was notified by American Airlines that it will continue operating under the original contract between the Company and American Airlines, with an immaterial revision.

 

Accounts receivable balances also include initial set-up fees billed when the service is performed. Revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of the customer relationship period, typically five years.

 

The provision for doubtful accounts was $105,000 and $94,000 as of April 30, 2012 and October 31, 2011, respectively. The Company monitors its outstanding accounts receivable balances and believes the provision is reasonable. The pre-petition receivable from American Airlines is less that the provision for doubtful accounts as of April 30, 2012 and October 31, 2011.

 

PASSUR® Network

 

The PASSUR® Network includes PASSUR® Systems and the related software workstations used for the data derived from PASSUR® Systems, as well as costs pertaining to raw material, work-in-process, and finished goods components. PASSUR® Network installations include the direct and indirect production and installation costs incurred for each of the Company-owned PASSUR® Systems. PASSUR® Network assets which are not installed in the PASSUR® Network are carried at cost and no depreciation is recorded.

 

Capitalized Software Development Costs

 

The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 985-20 (SFAS 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.”) Capitalized software development costs are comprised of costs incurred to develop and significantly enhance software products to be sold or otherwise marketed. When technological feasibility is established, the Company begins to capitalize development costs, and once the software product is available for general release to the public, the Company begins to amortize such costs to cost of revenues.

 

Amortization of capitalized software costs is provided on a product-by-product basis based on the greater of the ratio of current gross revenues to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues or the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the product beginning at the point the product becomes available for general release, typically over five years. Costs incurred to improve and support products after they become available for general release are charged to expense as incurred.

 

The assessment of recoverability of capitalized software development costs requires the exercise of judgment by management. In the opinion of management, all such costs capitalized as of April 30, 2012 are recoverable through anticipated future sales of such applicable products.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment when circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment is recognized to the extent the sum of undiscounted estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset is less than the carrying value. Assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of their carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell. The Company evaluates the periods of amortization continually in determining whether later events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. If estimates are changed, the unamortized costs will be allocated to the increased or decreased number of remaining periods in the revised life.

Page 9
 

Deferred Revenue

 

Deferred revenue includes advances received on subscription services and/or maintenance agreements, which are derived from the Company’s PASSUR® Network and which may be prepaid either annually or quarterly, as well as the unamortized portion of one-time payments received for license fees relating to Company software applications. Revenues from subscription and maintenance services are recognized as income ratably over the subscription and/or maintenance period that coincides with the respective agreement.

 

The Company recognizes license fee revenues on a straight-line basis over the term of the license agreement, which typically does not exceed five years.

 

The Company recognizes initial set-up fee revenues and associated costs on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of the customer relationship period, typically five years.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The recorded amounts of the Company’s receivables and payables approximate their fair values, principally because of the short-term nature of these items. The fair value of related party debt is not practicable to determine due primarily to the fact that the Company’s related party debt is held by its Chairman and significant shareholder, and the Company does not have any third-party debt with which to compare.

 

Additionally, on a recurring basis, the Company uses fair value measures when analyzing asset impairments. Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If it is determined such indicators are present, and the review indicates that the assets will not be fully recoverable based on the undiscounted estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset, their carrying values are reduced to estimated fair value.

 

Net Income per Share Information

 

Basic net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is based on the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and common stock equivalents. Shares used to calculate net income per share are as follows:

 

  For the three months ended For the six months ended
  April 30, April 30,
  2012 2011 2012 2011
Basic weighted average shares outstanding 7,178,140 4,709,875 7,176,624 4,700,509
Effect of dilutive stock options    828,768    816,294    826,880    799,987
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 8,006,908 5,526,169 8,003,504 5,500,496
         
Weighted average shares which are not included in the calculation of diluted net income per share because their impact is anti-dilutive        
         
Stock options    512,732    699,206    514,620    715,513

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company follows FASB ASC 718 (SFAS 123R, “Share-Based Payments”) which requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on date of grant, and recognition of stock-based compensation expense over the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of stock options was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Such fair value is recognized as an expense over the service period, net of forfeitures. Stock-based compensation expense was $35,000 and $108,000, and $71,000 and $141,000, for the three and six months ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and was primarily included in selling, general, and administrative expenses.

3. Notes Payable – Related Party

 

The Company had a note payable to G.S. Beckwith Gilbert, the Company’s significant shareholder and Chairman, of $4,815,000 as of April 30, 2012 and October 31, 2011. The note payable bears a maturity date of November 1, 2014, with an annual interest rate of 6%. Interest payments are due by October 31 of each fiscal year. During fiscal year 2011, the Company paid fiscal year 2011 interest to Mr. Gilbert of $912,000, representing the entire fiscal year 2011 interest due, thereby meeting the payment requirements of the loan agreement. Total payments for interest made to Mr. Gilbert in fiscal year 2011 were $1,358,000, including the remaining fiscal year 2010 interest payment. The Company has paid all interest incurred on the note payable through April 30, 2012.

 

The Company has received a commitment from Mr. Gilbert, dated June 4, 2012, that if the Company, at any time, is unable to meet its obligations through June 4, 2013, Mr. Gilbert will provide the necessary continuing financial support to the Company in order for the Company to meet such obligations. Such commitment for financial support may be in the form of additional advances or loans to the Company, in addition to the deferral of principal and/or interest payments due on the existing loans, if deemed necessary. The note payable is secured by the Company’s assets.

 

The Company believes that its liquidity is adequate to meet operating and investment requirements through October 31, 2012. During such period the Company does not anticipate borrowing additional funds from Mr. Gilbert, although it has received a commitment from Mr. Gilbert to do so if the Company requires additional funds.

 

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Description of Business

 

PASSUR Aerospace, Inc. is a business intelligence company which develops predictive analytics built on proprietary algorithms and on concurrent integration and simultaneous mining of multiple databases. The Company offers vertical expertise in the aviation market – providing data consolidation, information, decision support, predictive analytics, collaborative solutions, and professional services for aviation operations worldwide.

 

The Company’s principal business is to provide its customers business intelligence and predictive analytics solutions which improve financial performance, enhance operational efficiency, increase safety and security, and improve the passenger experience. These analytics are derived from the Company’s PASSUR® Proprietary Surveillance Network (the “PASSUR® Network”) of live flight information, updated from 1 to 4.6 seconds and include decision support software, predictive analytics, and web-delivered collaborative decision solutions, enhanced by professional services provided by industry experts.

 

The Company serves most major airlines (including six of the top eight North American airlines, as well as the top five hub and spoke airlines), approximately sixty airport customers (including twenty three of the top thirty North American airports), and more than two hundred corporate aviation customers, as well as the U.S. government, including the Federal Aviation Administration and Transportation Security Administration.

 

The Company believes its predictive analytics save its customers substantial costs annually by enabling preemptive decision making and more effective operational planning. The PASSUR® System simultaneously scans, correlates, and pulls information from the Company’s PASSUR® Network together with multiple additional government and private databases.

 

The PASSUR® Network has one hundred and fifty-five Company-owned PASSUR® Radar Systems, covering ninety-eight of the top one hundred North American airports. Other PASSUR®s are located in Europe and Asia. Flight tracks are updated between 1 and 4.6 seconds, thereby providing a system which is user-friendly and useful for decision-making.

 

The Company delivers these tools primarily on “web-dashboards” – a single page or screen which aggregates many different sets of information into a simplified presentation of performance indicators and exception alerts to support quick, informed, and proactive decisions with reduced need for human processing and calculation. Almost all of the PASSUR® solutions have a live or real-time component, and most also include alerts, decision support, collaborative components, immediate playback or review, as well as analysis. The PASSUR® products are protected by multiple patents and patent pending applications.

 

Results of Operations

 

Revenues

 

The Company’s business plan is to continue to focus on increasing subscription-based revenues from its suite of software applications, and to develop new applications and professional services designed to address the needs of the aviation industry and the U.S. government. Management concentrates its efforts on the sale of business intelligence, predictive analytics, and decision support product applications, utilizing data primarily derived from the PASSUR® Network. Such efforts include the continued development of new products, professional services, and existing product enhancements.

 

Revenues increased by $167,000, or 5%, and $121,000, or 2%, to $3,532,000 and $6,996,000, for the three and six months ended April 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to the same periods in fiscal year 2011. New customer subscriptions and existing customer upgrades to the Company’s suite of software applications increased by $180,000 and $251,000, offset by a reduction of $13,000 and $130,000 in professional services income as a result of the completion of a consulting assignment, respectively. The Company continues to develop and deploy new software applications and solutions, as well as a wide selection of products which address customers’ needs, easily delivered through web-based applications, as well as other new products which include stand-alone professional services.

Cost of Revenues

 

Costs associated with subscription and maintenance revenues consist primarily of direct labor, depreciation of PASSUR® Network Systems, amortization of capitalized software development costs, communication costs, data feeds, allocated overhead costs, travel and entertainment, and consulting fees. Also included in cost of revenues are costs associated with upgrades to PASSUR® Network Systems necessary to make such systems compatible with new software applications, as well as the ordinary repair and maintenance of existing PASSUR® Network Systems. Additionally, cost of revenues in each reporting period is impacted by: (1) the number of PASSUR® Network units added to the Network, which include the production, shipment, and installation of these assets, which are capitalized to the PASSUR® Network; and (2) capitalized costs associated with software development projects. Both of these are referred to as “Capitalized Assets”, and are depreciated and/or amortized over their respective useful lives and charged to cost of revenues.

 

Cost of revenues increased by $29,000, or 2%, and $205,000, or 7%, for the three and six months ended April 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to the same periods in fiscal year 2011, primarily due to increases in communication costs of $101,000 and $257,000 and depreciation and amortization of $102,000 and $219,000, offset by a decrease in consulting fees. In addition, when the Company manufactures its PASSUR® Network Systems, there is a reduction in cost of revenues due to the fact that the labor-related costs for these systems are capitalized, rather than expensed, as a component of costs of revenue. For the three and six months ended April 30, 2012, manufacturing activity occurred, as compared to no such activity during the same periods in fiscal year 2011, which resulted in a decrease in cost of revenues of $125,000 and $171,000, respectively.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenses increased by $41,000, or 54%, and $62,000, or 41%, for the three and six months ended April 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to the same periods in fiscal year 2011, primarily due to an increase in payroll and related costs. The Company’s research and development efforts include activities associated with new product development, as well as the enhancement and improvement of the Company's existing hardware, software, and information products.

 

The Company anticipates that it will continue to invest in research and development to develop new applications for its customers. There were no customer-sponsored research and development activities during the six months ended April 30, 2012 or 2011. Research and development expenses are funded by current operations.

 

Selling, General, and Administrative

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased by $69,000, or 5%, and $105,000, or 4%, for the three and six months ended April 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to the same periods in fiscal year 2011, primarily due to decreases in consulting fees, legal fees, and payroll and related costs.

 

Income from Operations

 

Revenues increased by $167,000, or 5%, and $121,000, or 2%, to $3,532,000 and $6,996,000, costs and expenses increased by $1,000, or 0%, and $162,000, or 3%, to $2,895,000 and $5,905,000, and income from operations increased by $166,000, or 35%, to $637,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2012, and decreased by $41,000 or 4%, to $1,091,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2012, as compared to the same periods in fiscal year 2011.

 

Interest Expense – Related Party

 

Interest expense – related party decreased by $267,000, or 79%, and $545,000, or 79%, for the three and six months ended April 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to the same periods in fiscal year 2011, due to the transactions in fiscal year 2011 that reduced the Company’s outstanding notes payable to G.S. Beckwith Gilbert, the Company’s significant shareholder and Chairman, by $10,000,000, as well as the amendment to the note payable which reduced the annual interest rate from 9% to 6%.

Net Income

 

The Company had net income of $559,000, or $0.07 per diluted share, and $939,000 or $0.12 per diluted share, for the three and six months ended April 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to net income of $122,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, and $432,000 or $0.08 per diluted share, for the same periods in fiscal year 2011.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company’s current liabilities exceeded current assets by $155,000 at April 30, 2012. The note payable to a related party, G.S. Beckwith Gilbert, the Company’s significant shareholder and Chairman, was $4,815,000 at April 30, 2012, with a maturity of November 1, 2014. The Company’s stockholders’ equity was $8,222,000 at April 30, 2012. The Company had net income of $939,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2012.

 

Management is addressing the Company’s working capital deficiency by aggressively marketing the Company’s PASSUR® Network Systems information capabilities in its existing product and professional service lines, as well as in new products and professional services, which are continually being developed and deployed. Management believes that expanding its existing suite of software products and professional services, which address the wide array of needs of the aviation industry, through the continued development of new product and service offerings, will continue to lead to increased growth in the Company’s customer-base and subscription-based revenues.

 

If the Company’s business plan does not generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet the Company’s operating cash requirements, the Company will attempt to obtain external financing. However, the Company has received a commitment from Mr. Gilbert, dated June 4, 2012, that if the Company, at any time, is unable to meet its obligations through June 4, 2013, Mr. Gilbert will provide the necessary continuing financial support to the Company in order for the Company to meet such obligations. Such commitment for financial support may be in the form of additional advances or loans to the Company, in addition to the deferral of principal and/or interest payments due on the existing loans, if deemed necessary. The note payable is secured by the Company’s assets.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $2,046,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2012, and consisted of $1,320,000 non-cash items, primarily depreciation and amortization of $1,201,000, as well as $939,000 of net income, offset by a decrease in accounts payable, primarily due to the timing of vendor invoice payments. Net cash used in investing activities was $2,047,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2012, expended primarily for capitalized software development costs and additions to the PASSUR® Network. Net cash provided by financing activities was $10,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2012.

 

The Company is actively addressing the increasing costs associated with supporting the business, and plans to identify and reduce any unnecessary costs as part of its cost reduction initiatives. Additionally, the aviation market has been impacted by budgetary constraints, airline bankruptcies and consolidations due to the downturn in the current economy, the continued war on terrorism, and increases in fuel costs. The aviation market is extensively regulated by government agencies, particularly the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board, and management anticipates that new regulations relating to air travel may continue to be issued. Substantially all of the Company’s revenues are derived from airports, airlines, and organizations that serve, or are served by, the aviation industry. Any new regulations or changes in the economic situation of the aviation industry could have an impact on the future operations of the Company, either positively or negatively.

 

Interest by potential customers in the information and decision support software products obtained from PASSUR® Network Systems and its professional services remains strong. As a result, the Company anticipates an increase in future revenues. However, the Company cannot predict if such revenues will materialize. If sales do not increase, losses may occur. The extent of such profits or losses will be dependent on sales volume achieved and Company cost reduction initiatives.

 

The Company believes that its liquidity is adequate to meet operating and investment requirements through October 31, 2012. During such period, the Company does not anticipate borrowing additional funds from Mr. Gilbert, although it has received a commitment from Mr. Gilbert to do so if the Company requires additional funds.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

General

 

The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities based upon accounting policies management has implemented. These significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 and there have been no material changes to such policies since the filing of such Annual Report. These policies and estimates are critical to the Company’s business operations and the understanding of its results of operations. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on the Company’s business operations are discussed throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011, where such policies affect its reported financial results. The actual impact of these factors may differ under different assumptions or conditions.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision, and with the participation of, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules. The Company believes that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance, not absolute assurance, that the objectives of the control system are met. Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that such controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of April 30, 2012.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) within the fiscal quarter to which this report relates, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
