Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 and September 23, 2012

 

1. organization and nature of business and uncertainty

 

Horne International, Inc. (the “Company” or “Horne”), headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia, is an engineering services company which has historically focused on providing integrated, systems approach-based solutions to the energy and environmental sectors. The Company’s solutions are sustainable, agile, and provide immediate as well as long term results. We provide products and services to both the United States Government and to commercial customers.

 

The Company’s independent registered public accountants stated in their report on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 25, 2011, that the Company has had recurring operating losses that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company experienced a major decrease in revenue, incurred a net loss of approximately $724,000 and had a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $2,653,000 as of that date.

 

The consolidated financial statements presented above and the accompanying Notes have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future, and does not include any adjustments to reflect possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of any extraordinary regulatory action, which would affect our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company is dependent upon operating cash flow in addition to financing cash inflows to meet its working capital needs. The Company is considering all strategic options to generate revenue and thereby improve its liquidity and provide it with working capital to fund its continuing business operations, including debt service obligations, which include developing new business opportunities to generate revenue, equity offerings, and debt financings from related parties and others. At September 30, 2013, the Company’s aggregate obligation for amounts borrowed, before discounts, amounted to $1,588,000, of which $1,238,000 represented borrowings from related parties.

 

On May 21, 2013, the Company received notification that its failure to file Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 with the Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on a timely basis had resulted in an Event of Default, as defined, under a certain security purchase agreement, which was not cured within the 5-day period allowed. See Note 5 – Related Party Debt and Other Borrowings for a further description.

 

Furthermore, the Company failed to make monthly payments of principal and interest to a creditor commencing August 1, 2013, which failure constituted a default under the note agreement. On September 3, 2013, the creditor filed a Confession of Judgment whereby the Promissory Note will earn interest at the rate of 6% from August 2, 2013 until date of payment and the Company will be liable for the note holder’s legal and related costs of approximately $15,000. See Note 5 – Related Party Debt and Other Borrowings for a further description.

 

Due to the conditions and events discussed above, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

 

Prior to the end of fiscal year 2012, the fiscal year for the Company was either a 52-or 53-week period ending on the last Sunday in each December. Effective December 31, 2012, the Company changed to a calendar year basis for its fiscal year and quarterly reporting. Accordingly, the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was September 30, 2013.

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Horne and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 and September 23, 2012

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, and September 23, 2012 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the periods presented.

 

The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Historically, revenues have been derived from three sources:

 

(i)Government and private sector service fees under contracts for professional services and reimbursable travel and training. Revenues from cost reimbursable contracts are recorded as reimbursable costs are incurred, including an estimated share of the applicable contractual fees earned. For performance-based fees under cost reimbursable contracts, we recognize the relevant portion of the expected fee to be awarded by the client at the time such fee can be reasonably estimated, based on factors such as prior award experience and communications with the client regarding performance. For cost reimbursable contracts with performance-based fee incentives, we recognize the relevant portion of the fee upon customer approval. For time-and-materials contracts, revenue is recognized based on billable rates times hours delivered plus materials and other reimbursable costs incurred.
(ii)License, installation and maintenance fees, as an agent of implementation of network services. We recognize revenue on a net basis excluding taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities.
(iii)Reselling of hosted module leased equipment to retain ownership. Revenue is recognized once delivery has occurred.

 

In all cases, revenue is only recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed and determinable, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

 

Significant Customers and Credit Risks

 

Due to the nature of the Company’s business and the relative size of certain contracts, it is not unusual for a significant customer in one year to be insignificant in the next. However, it is possible that the loss of any single significant customer could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results from operations. The Company’s primary customers are government entities. In December 2012, the Company was notified that one of its two principal contracts would not be renewed, while the second one was terminated as of December 31, 2012. These two contracts represented approximately 84% of the Company’s 2012 revenues, causing a significant loss of future revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company added no significant customers in terms of revenue contribution.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 and September 23, 2012

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had one customer that accounted for approximately 82% of its receivables, net. As of September 30, 2013, there were no material receivables due from one or more customers.

 

In determining the allowance for doubtful accounts, the Company analyzes the aging of the accounts receivable, historical bad debts, customer creditworthiness, and specific situations involving its customers. As the majority of the Company’s work is government related, the risk of uncollectible debt is greatly reduced. The Company records specific bad debt reserves when it considers its ability to collect an amount to be in doubt.

 

Property and Equipment

 

All property and equipment are carried at their cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the underlying assets. The lives have historically ranged from 3 to 10 years depending on asset type. Routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Major replacements and improvements are capitalized. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their useful life or the lease term.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing the asset and liability method. This approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enacted date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification topic 740, subtopic 10 on January 1, 2007, which requires financial statement benefits to be recognized for positions taken for tax return purposes when it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained. There has been no change in our financial position and results of operation due to the adoption of this standard.

 

The Company currently has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $61.1 million at September 30, 2013. The Company has not recorded the related federal tax benefit in the accompanying consolidated financial statements due to the possibility that the net operating loss carry forward may not be utilized for various reasons, particularly including the potential that the Company might not have sufficient profits in future years to use all or a portion of the carry forward, or the carry forward may be limited as a result of changes in the Company’s equity ownership.

 

Loss Per Share

 

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted loss per share is computed in a manner consistent with that of basic loss per share while giving effect to the impact of common stock equivalents. The Company’s common stock equivalents consist of employee, director, and consultant stock options to purchase common stock. Common stock equivalents of 435,000 and 2,960,380 were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 23, 2012, respectively, as the inclusion of these common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive as the Company is in a net loss position and including such shares would reduce the net loss per share.

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The fair values of stock option awards are determined using the Black-Sholes option pricing model. The compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The Company, beginning in 2006, has included a vesting period for most options granted. See Note 7 for a detailed discussion of the Company’s stock option plan. The Company accounts for stock incentive plans by measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based awards on estimated fair values, net of estimated and actual forfeitures, on a straight line basis over the period during which the employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management does not believe that any recent adopted or proposed accounting pronouncements will have a material effect on their financial statements.

 

3. RECEIVABLES, NET (in thousands)

 

Receivables, net primarily comprise of amounts due to the Company for work performed on contracts directly related to commercial and government customers. The Company has a nominal bad debt reserve as most of our contracts are with governmental entities.

 

Unbilled receivables represent recoverable costs and estimated earnings consisting principally of contract revenues that have been recognized for accounting purposes but are not yet billable to the customer based upon the respective contract terms.

Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Auld-Susott agreed to finance specific accounts receivable under a line of credit for up to $500,000 at an interest rate of 13%. In spite of the collection of the related accounts receivables, the note remains outstanding. As of September 30, 2013, the outstanding balance is $209,000 and the accrued interest balance is $51,000. The loan is not convertible into any of the Company’s equity securities.

 

Trevor Foster Note

The Company had the right to prepay the obligation at any time prior to August 18, 2013 with a payment of principal, a premium ranging up to 44% of principal and accrued and unpaid interest.

 

On May 21, 2013, the Company received notification that its failure to file this Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 with the Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on a timely basis had resulted in an Event of Default, as defined, under the security purchase agreement with Asher, which was not cured within the 5-day period allowed. Accordingly, in accordance with the terms of the convertible note, the principal amount increased to 150% of the original note amount, or $87,000 (“Default Amount”), the interest rate of 8% increased to a default interest rate of 22%, and the obligation of $87,000 and accrued interest thereon became payable on demand and convertible upon the sole election of Asher. This Event of Default was cured with the filing of Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 with the SEC on August 20, 2013, at which time the interest rate reverted to 8%.

 

The convertible notes of $50,000, $100,000 and $58,000 issued to Mr. Horne, Mr. Foster and Asher, respectfully, contain a "beneficial conversion" feature that required separate recognition, at issuance, of a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of the feature as additional paid-in-capital. This "discount" is being amortized using the effective interest method through a charge to interest expense over the term of the notes. The notes with Mr. Horne and Mr. Foster are convertible into up to 1,500,000 shares of common stock. The maximum number of shares into which the note with Asher could be converted is not quantifiable as the Variable Conversion Price is unknown.

 

On March 12, 2013, the Company entered into a Promissory Note and Confessed Judgment agreement with a creditor to finance an outstanding liability in the amount of $153,498. Monthly principal payments in the amount of $25,583 plus interest of 6% were scheduled to begin August 1, 2013 with a final balloon payment of $51,166 to be made on December 1, 2013. To date, the Company has not made any of the required monthly principal and interest payment; accordingly, this note is in default. On September 3, 2013, the creditor filed a Confession of Judgment whereby the Promissory Note will earn interest at the rate of 6% from August 2, 2013 until date of payment.

 

The Company and the landlord for its corporate office entered into a promissory note dated August 1, 2013 in the amount of $21,462 representing unpaid rent due under the former lease agreement and payable in three monthly installments due September 1, October 1 and November 1, 2013, less a $3,500 credit. As part of the overall settlement, the Company ceded to its landlord certain fully depreciated furniture in exchange for a $3,500 credit against a past due obligation of $24,963. This credit is recorded as a gain on disposition of property and equipment in the accompanying statement of operations. In the event the Company vacates the premises before satisfying all financial obligations under the amended lease, it will be required to cede to its landlord the remainder of its furniture for which it would receive an additional credit of $6,500 against the remaining obligation. The August 1, 2013 note was cosigned by the Company’s Chairman, Darryl Horne. See Note 9 – Subsequent Event.

 

6. LINE OF CREDIT

 

In April 2011, the Company entered into a financing agreement with United Capital Funding under which the Company can elect to factor certain eligible accounts receivable. The Company is able to receive up to 85 percent of the amount of any invoices factored to the lender. The agreement calls for a minimum factoring fee of 4.25% for the first five days and 4.25% for each additional five day period. At September 30, 2013, the amount borrowed and payable under this facility is $0.

7. common stock and STock Option plan

 

On March 22, 2010, the Company entered into a strategic partnership and related Stock Option Agreement and Restricted Stock Agreement with Intelligent Decisions, Inc. (“Intelligent”). Intelligent is an information technology services company headquartered in Ashburn, Virginia, servicing both commercial and government customers. The partnership between the parties provides for Intelligent to provide business support services to the Company. On March 6, 2012, the Company notified Intelligent of the termination of a Stock Option Agreement and Restricted Stock Agreement between the two parties which pertained to certain Business Services, as defined, that Intelligent is to provide to the Company as requested. The Company unilaterally cancelled 4,166,667 options associated with the agreements. Further, as of June 24, 2012, the Company unilaterally cancelled the remaining 4,166,667 options of stock associated with the agreement. As a result of these actions the Company faced the possibility of a contingent liability and pending litigation. The Company is currently in negotiations with Intelligent to resolve this matter.

 

On January 3, 2012, 91 Hill, LLC, an entity owned by Darryl Horne, the Company’s Chairman, and an affiliate of Evan Auld-Susott, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, exercised 500,000 shares of its stock option to purchase up to 2,000,000 common shares at the exercise price of $0.10 per share. Such shares were sold in May 2013. The remainder of the option to purchase 1,500,000 common shares expired on December 31, 2012.

 

The Company has a stock option plan available to eligible employees, non-employee directors, consultants and advisors to acquire proprietary interests in the Company by providing eligible persons an additional incentive to promote the success of the Company as deemed appropriate by senior management. This is accomplished by providing for the granting of Non-Statutory Stock Options to employees, non-employee directors, consultants and advisors. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company did not make any option grants.

 

The fair values of stock option awards are determined using the Black-Sholes option pricing model. The related compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The Company, beginning in 2006, has provided for a vesting period for most options granted.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND analysis of financial condition and results of operations

 

The following discussion provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and an understanding of the Company’s operations and financial condition. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as well as our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

The matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, activity levels, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, activity levels, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “could”, “expect”, “estimate”, “may”, “potential”, “will”, and “would”, or similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they discuss our future expectations, contain projections of our future results of operations or of our financial position, or state other forward-looking information. We believe it is important to communicate our future expectations to our investors. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to predict or control accurately. The factors listed in the section captioned “Risk Factors,” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, as well as any cautionary language in this Form 10-Q, provide examples of risks, uncertainties, and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements.

 

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, activity levels, performance or achievements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. Subsequent events and developments may cause our views to change. While we may elect to update the forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so.

Comparison of THREE Months Ended September 30, 2013 and september 23, 2012

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements (and notes thereto) and other financial information of the Company appearing elsewhere in this report.

 

Consolidated Overview (in thousands)

 

   Three Months Ended 
   September 30, 2013   September 23, 2012 
Revenue  $11    100.0%  $1,001    100.0%
Gross profit   8    72.7%   158    15.8%
Net operating loss  $(124)   (1,127.3%)   (330)   (33.0%)

 

Revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, decreased to $11,000 from $1,001,000 in the quarter ended September 23, 2012, a decrease of approximately $990,000. The principal reason for the decrease was the termination of the Company’s two major contracts in effect in 2012, with no new contracts entered into during the quarter ended September 30, 2013, nor in the prior two quarters, as new sources of revenue. Gross profit decreased due to the substantial decrease in revenue. Compared to the third quarter of 2012, the lower operating loss in the current quarter is principally due to a significant decrease in general and administrative expenses to $132,000 in the current period from $488,000 in the year ago period, or $356,000, partially offset by a $151,000 reduction in gross profit that resulted from the decrease in revenue. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was principally the result of lower compensation and related costs.

 

Comparison of NINE Months Ended SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 AND SEPTEMBER 23, 2012

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements (and notes thereto) and other financial information of the Company appearing elsewhere in this report.

 

Consolidated Overview (in thousands)

 

   Nine months ended 
   September 30, 2013   September 23, 2012 
Total revenue  $61    100.0%  $3,405    100.0%
Gross profit   (6)   (9.8%)   458    11.5%
Operating loss   (512)   (839.3%)   (974)   (22.7%)

 

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, decreased to $61,000 from $3,405,000 in the nine months ended September 23, 2012, a decrease of $3,344,000. The principal reason for the decrease was the termination of the Company’s two major contracts in effect in 2012, with no new contracts entered into during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as new sources of revenue. Gross profit decreased due to the substantial decrease in revenue. Compared to the first nine months of 2012, the lower operating loss in the current quarter is principally due to a significant decrease in general and administrative expenses to $506,000 in the current period from $1,432,000 in the year ago period, or $926,000, partially offset by a 465,000 reduction in gross profit that resulted from the decrease in revenue. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was principally the result of lower compensation and related costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The cash balance at September 30, 2013 was $0. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 cash decreased by $8,000 principally due to the net loss sustained of $724,000 and reduction in accrued expenses of $761,000 following the collection of related accounts receivable, offset by net non-cash charges of $81,000, collections of $1,179,000 of receivables, and a net increase in debt financing of $149,000.

 

The Company’s independent registered public accountants stated in their report on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2012, that the Company has had recurring operating losses that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company experienced a major decrease in revenue, incurred a net loss of $724,000 and had a stockholders’ deficit of $2,653,000 million as of that date.

 

The consolidated financial statements presented above and the accompanying Notes have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future, and does not include any adjustments to reflect possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of any extraordinary regulatory action, which would affect our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company is dependent upon available cash and operating cash flow in addition to financing cash inflows to meet its working capital needs. The Company is considering strategic options to generate revenue and thereby improve its liquidity and provide it with working capital to fund its continuing business operations, including debt service obligations, which includes developing new business opportunities to generate revenue, equity offerings and debt financings from related parties and others as alternatives to improve its cash requirements.

 

The Company anticipates that its future funding sources would primarily be in the form of notes from related parties or non-traditional, non-banking sources or equity financings. Given our past financial performance, the costs and fees associated with funding sources may be more expensive than the Company has historically paid.

 

The Company at present has no binding commitments for additional financing. There is no guarantee that such additional financing will be available to the Company on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

 

Due to the conditions and events discussed above, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

See Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Business and Uncertainty, in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

In addition to the risks inherent in our operations, we are exposed to contractual, financial, market, political and economic risks. The following discussion provides additional detail regarding our exposure to interest rates and foreign exchange rates.

 

Government Contracts

 

The funding of U.S. government programs is subject to Congressional appropriations. Although multi-year contracts may be authorized in connection with major procurements, Congress generally appropriates funds on a fiscal-year basis, even though a program may continue for many years. Consequently, programs are often only partially funded initially, and additional funds are committed only as Congress makes further appropriations. Provisions in these contracts permit termination, in whole or in part, without prior notice, at the government’s convenience or upon contractor default under the contract. Compensation in the event of a termination, if any, is limited to work completed at the time of termination. In the event of termination for convenience, the contractor may receive a certain allowance for profit on the work performed.

 

Foreign Exchange Risk

 

We currently do not have any foreign currency risk and accordingly, estimate that an immediate 10 percent change in foreign exchange rates would have no impact on our reported results of operations. We do not currently utilize any derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency risks.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 (e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). In designing and evaluating its disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, management was necessarily required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Based upon that evaluation, management concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered in this report; in prior reporting periods management had concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, management has conducted an assessment, including testing using criteria described in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Because of the inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

In prior reporting periods we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which, if not remedied effectively, could have had an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition, and the trading price of our common stock. Management, in part through the documentation and assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and pursuant to the rules promulgated by the SEC under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and item 308 of Regulation S-K, concluded in prior reporting periods, that our internal control over financial reporting had material weaknesses. Formerly, management of the Company did not have the ability to either effectively or efficiently prepare consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission Form l0-Q. We have taken certain actions, including the addition of a qualified Chief Financial Officer to management, to address prior material weaknesses. Our inability to fully remedy such material weaknesses promptly and effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition, as well as impair our ability to meet our quarterly and annual reporting requirements in a timely manner.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 the principal change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in rule 13 a-i 5(f) under the exchange act) has been the aforementioned addition of a Chief Financial Officer, which has, among other things, permitted an improvement in segregation of duties and the timely preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission Form l0-Q.
