NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Spine Pain Management, Inc. (formerly known as Versa Card, Inc.) was incorporated under the laws of Delaware on March 4, 1998.
 
Since inception, we have engaged in and contemplated several ventures and acquisitions, many of which were not consummated.  In December 2008, we began moving forward to launch our new business concept of delivering turnkey solutions to spine surgeons, orthopedic surgeons and other healthcare providers for necessary and appropriate treatment of musculo-skeletal spine injuries.  Our first spine injury diagnostic center opened in Houston, Texas in August 2009.  We currently manage a total of two spine injury diagnostic centers in the United States. We are also evaluating the expansion of our services through additional spine injury diagnostic centers in multiple markets across the country.

Spine Pain Management, Inc.
 
We are a medical services, technology, marketing, management, billing and collection company facilitating diagnostic services for patients who have sustained spine injuries resulting from traumatic accidents.  We deliver turnkey solutions to spine surgeons, orthopedic surgeons and other health care providers for necessary and appropriate treatment of musculo-skeletal spine injuries resulting from automobile and work-related accidents.  Our goal is to become a leader in providing management services to spine and orthopedic surgeons and other healthcare providers to facilitate proper treatment of their injured clients.  By pre-funding the providers accounts receivable, which includes diagnostic testing and non-invasive and surgical care, patients are not unnecessarily delayed or prevented from obtaining needed treatment.  By providing early treatment, we believe that health conditions can be prevented from escalating and injured victims can be quickly placed on the road to recovery.  Through our management system, we facilitate spine surgeons, orthopedic surgeons and other healthcare providers to provide reasonable, necessary, and appropriate treatments to patients with musculo-skeletal spine injuries. We assist the centers that provide the spine diagnostic injections and treatment and pay the doctors a fixed rate for the medical procedures they performed. After a patient is billed for the procedures performed, we take control of the patients’ unpaid bill and oversee collection. In most instances, the patient is a plaintiff in an accident case, where the patient is represented by an attorney. Typically, the defendant (and/or the insurance company of the defendant) in the accident case pays the patient’s bill upon settlement or final judgment of the accident case. The payment to us is made through the attorney of the patient. In most cases, we must agree to the settlement price and the patient must sign off on the settlement. Once we are paid, the patient’s attorney can receive payment for his or her legal fee.
 
We currently manage two spine injury diagnostic centers in the United States, which are located in Houston, Texas and San Antonio, Texas. In January 2014 we made the decision to discontinue doing business in Florida and McAllen, Texas (see Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” below).  We are seeking additional funding for expansion by way of reasonable debt financing to accelerate this future development.  In connection with this strategy, we plan to open additional diagnostic centers in new market areas that are attractive under our business model, assuming adequate funds are available.

We own a device and process by which a video recording system is attached to a fluoroscopic x-ray machine, the “four camera technology,” that we believe can attract additional physicians and patients, expedite settlements and provide us with additional revenue streams.  During 2013 and continuing in 2014, we have refined the technology, through further research and development resulting in a fully commercialized Quad Video Halo System 3.0.  Using this technology, diagnostic procedures are recorded from four separate video feeds that capture views from both inside and outside the body, and a video is made which is given to the plaintiff’s attorney to verify the treatment received.  We believe the video will expedite the settlement process.   Each of our affiliated centers can lease the hardware from us.  Additionally, upon regulatory approval, we anticipate independent medical representatives will sell Quad Video Halo units to outside hospitals and clinics.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2.  GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS

Since our inception in 1998, until commencement of our spine injury diagnostic operations in August, 2009, our expenses substantially exceeded our revenue, resulting in continuing losses and an accumulated deficit from operations of $15,004,698 as of December 31, 2009. Since that time, we have been able to reduce our deficit, and our accumulated deficit is $14,124,720 as of March 31, 2014. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we realized net revenue of $334,688 and net loss of $480,287. Successful business operations and our transition to positive cash flows from operations are dependent upon obtaining additional financing and achieving a level of collections adequate to support our cost structure. Considering the nature of our business, we are not generating immediate liquidity and sufficient working capital within a reasonable period of time to fund our planned operations and strategic business plan through March 31, 2015. There can be no assurances that there will be adequate financing available to us. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of our assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 3.  CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The following are summarized accounting policies considered to be critical by our management:
 
Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. Nevertheless, we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2013 Annual Report as filed on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position with respect to the interim financial statements and the results of its operations for the interim period ended March 31, 2014, have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.

Accounting Method
 
Our financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of our financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions and could have a material effect on the reported amounts of our financial position and results of operations.

Revenue Recognition
 
Revenues are recognized in accordance with SEC staff accounting bulletin, Topic 13, Revenue Recognition, which specifies that only when persuasive evidence for an arrangement exists; the fee is fixed or determinable; and collection is reasonably assured can revenue be recognized.
 
 
SPINE PAIN MANAGEMENT, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement is obtained prior to services being rendered when the patient completes and signs the medical and financial paperwork.  Delivery of services is considered to have occurred when medical diagnostic services are provided to the patient.  The price and terms for the services are considered fixed and determinable at the time that the medical services are provided and are based upon the type and extent of the services rendered.  Our credit policy has been established based upon extensive experience by management in the industry and has been determined to ensure that collectability is reasonably assured.  Payment for services are primarily made to us by a third party and the credit policy includes terms of net 240 days for collections; however, collections occur upon settlement or judgment of cases (see Note 4).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This new accounting guidance under ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, provides an improvement on the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income by requiring an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component either on the income statement or in the notes to the financial statements. The guidance will become effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted.  The adoption of ASU 2013-02 did not have a significant impact on the financial statements.

NOTE 4.  ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

We recognize revenue and accounts receivable in accordance with SEC staff accounting bulletin, Topic 13, “Revenue Recognition”, which requires persuasive evidence that a sales arrangement exists; the fee is fixed or determinable; and collection is reasonably assured before revenue is recognized. We manage certain spine injury diagnostic centers where  healthcare providers perform medical services for patients. We pay the healthcare providers a fixed rate for medical services performed. The patients are billed based on Current Procedural Terminology (“CPT”) codes for the medical procedure performed. CPT codes are numbers assigned to every task and service a medical practitioner may provide to a patient including medical, surgical and diagnostic services. CPT codes are developed, maintained and copyrighted by the American Medical Association. Patients are billed at the normal billing amount, based on national averages, for a particular CPT code procedure. We take control of the patients’ unpaid bills.

Revenue and corresponding accounts receivable are recognized by reference to “net revenue” and “accounts receivable, net” which is defined as gross amounts billed using CPT codes less account discounts that are expected to result when individual cases are ultimately settled. A discount rate of 52%, based on settled patient cases, was used to reduce revenue to 48% of CPT code billings (“gross revenue”) during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

The patients who receive medical services at the diagnostic centers are typically plaintiffs in accident lawsuits. The timing of collection of receivables is dependent on the timing of a settlement or judgment of each individual case associated with these patients.  Historical experience, through 2013, demonstrated that the collection period for individual cases may extend for two years or more. Accordingly, we have classified receivables as current or long term based on our experience, which indicates that as of March 31, 2014 and 2013 that 40% and 49% of cases will be subject to a settlement or judgment within one year of a medical procedure.

We take the following steps to establish an arrangement between all parties and facilitate collection upon settlement or final judgment of cases:
 
 
·
The patient completed and signed medical and financial paperwork, which included an acknowledgement of the patient’s responsibility of payment for the services provided. Additionally, the paperwork should include an assignment of benefits derived from any settlement or judgment of the patient’s case.

 
·
The patient’s attorney issued the healthcare provider a Letter of Protection designed to guarantee payment for the medical services provided to the patient from proceeds of any settlement or judgment in the accident case. This Letter of Protection also should preclude any case settlement without providing for payment of the patient’s medical bill.
 
 
SPINE PAIN MANAGEMENT, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
·
Most of the patients who received medical services at the diagnostic centers have typically been previously referred to a doctor from a plaintiff’s attorney, who performed the initial two to four months of conservative treatment. The doctor then typically refers the patient to one of our healthcare providers for an evaluation because of continuing symptoms. Patients are only accepted if the initial referral was from a reputable plaintiff’s attorney with adequate experience in personal injury lawsuits. Before referring a patient, the attorney is expected to have evaluated the patient’s accident case, including the conditions that gave rise to the patient’s injuries and the extent and quality of general liability insurance held by the defendant. The attorney is also responsible for determining that a settlement favorable to the patient/plaintiff is expected.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
As shown in Note 5, at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had balances of $90,699 and $135,699, respectively, due to Dr. Donovan, in his individual capacity, for working capital advances and payments made on our behalf.

NOTE 8.  NOTES PAYABLE

On June 27, 2012, we issued a $500,000 convertible promissory note bearing interest at 12% per year which originally matured on March 27, 2014.  Interest only is due and payable quarterly with the principle balance and unpaid accrued interest due and payable on the maturity date in one lump sum payment.  The holder of the note has the right to convert into common stock, at $1.50 per share, up to 100% of the principal amount.  Under the original terms of the convertible note, the holder received a detachable warrant to purchase 69,445 shares of our common stock at the price of $1.80 per share that expires on June 27, 2014. This note was extended for one year on February 6, 2014 and now matures on March 27, 2015.  As consideration for the extension, we issued an additional 69,445 warrants to purchase our common stock for $0.43 that expire on February 6, 2015.

The weighted-average estimated fair value of the 69,445 warrants issued, on February 6, 2014 was $0.19 per share using the Black-Sholes pricing model with the following assumptions:

Expected volatility
    110 %
Risk-free interest rate
    0.13 %
Expected life
 
1 year
 
Dividend yield
    0 %
 
NOTE 9.  INCOME TAXES

We have not made provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2014 or the year ended December 31, 2013, since we have net operating loss carryforwards to offset current taxable income.

Deferred tax assets consist of the following at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

   
March 31
   
December 31
 
   
2014
   
2013
 
             
Benefit from net operating loss carryforwards
  $ 2,156,945     $ 2,041,083  
                 
Allowance from doubtful accounts
    123,409       119,889  
                 
Less:  valuation allowance
    (2,280,354 )     (2,160,972 )
                 
    $ -     $ -  

Due to uncertainties surrounding our ability to generate future taxable income to realize these assets, a full valuation has been established to offset the net deferred income tax asset. Based on management’s assessment, utilizing an effective combined tax rate for federal and state taxes of approximately 37%, we have determined that it is not currently likely that a deferred income tax asset of approximately $2,280,354 and $2,160,972 attributable to the future utilization of the approximate $6,343,957 and $6,003,185 in eligible net operating loss carryforwards as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, will be realized. We will continue to review this valuation allowance and make adjustments as appropriate. The net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in varying amounts from year 2018 to 2031.
 
 
SPINE PAIN MANAGEMENT, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Current income tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore, amounts available to offset future taxable income may be limited under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Following is a reconciliation of the (provision) benefit for federal income taxes as reported in the accompanying Statements of Operations to the expected amount at the 34% federal statutory rate:

   
Three Months Ended March 31,
 
   
2014
   
2013
 
             
Income tax benefit (provision) at the 34% statutory rate
  $ 163,298     $ (15,629 )

We are subject to taxation in the United States and certain state jurisdictions. Our tax years for 2003 and forward are subject to examination by the United States and applicable state tax authorities due to the carryforwards of unutilized net operating losses and the timing of tax filings.


ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed financial statements and the related notes to the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
The following are summarized accounting policies considered to be critical by our management:
 
Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. Nevertheless, we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2013 Annual Report as filed on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position with respect to the interim financial statements and the results of its operations for the interim period ended March 31, 2014, have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.

Accounting Method
 
Our financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of our financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions and could have a material effect on the reported amounts of our financial position and results of operations.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized in accordance with SEC staff accounting bulletin, Topic 13, Revenue Recognition, which specifies that only when persuasive evidence for an arrangement exists; the fee is fixed or determinable; and collection is reasonably assured can revenue be recognized.
 
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement is obtained prior to services being rendered when the patient completes and signs the medical and financial paperwork.  Delivery of services is considered to have occurred when medical diagnostic services are provided to the patient.  The price and terms for the services are considered fixed and determinable at the time that the medical services are provided and are based upon the type and extent of the services rendered.  Our credit policy has been established based upon extensive experience by management in the industry and has been determined to ensure that collectability is reasonably assured.  Payment for services are primarily made to us by a third party and the credit policy includes terms of net 240 days for collections; however, collections occur upon settlement or judgment of cases (see Note 4).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This new accounting guidance under ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, provides an improvement on the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income by requiring an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component either on the income statement or in the notes to the financial statements. The guidance will become effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted.  The adoption of ASU 2014-02 did not to have a significant impact on the financial statements.
 
 
Management Overview
 
At the end of 2008, we launched our new business concept of delivering turnkey solutions to spine surgeons, orthopedic surgeons and other healthcare providers for necessary, reasonable and appropriate treatment for musculo-skeletal spine injuries. Moving forward, our main focus will be on expansion through new affiliations with spine surgeons, orthopedic surgeons and other healthcare providers across the nation.
 
Results of Operations
 
The unaudited financial statements as of March 31, 2014 and for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2014 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes to the interim financial statements related to these periods are unaudited. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter or of the entire year ending December 31, 2014.
 
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and regulations. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013 as included in our previously filed report on Form 10-K.
 
As noted earlier in the description of the business in Note 1, we own a video recording system known as the Quad Video Halo System 2.0.  We have expended funds in this quarter for further development and marketing of this system.  We will continue to develop this product in the upcoming quarters.
 
Comparison of the three month period ended March 31, 2014 with the three month period ended March 31, 2013.
 
We recorded $657,931, in gross revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014, offset by $323,243 of the expected settlement discount resulting in net revenue of $344,688.  For the same period in 2013, gross revenue was $2,102,929, offset by $1, 059,728 of standard allowance for discount, resulting in net revenue of $1, 043,201.  Revenue was negatively affected by lower case volume in 2013 due to multiple factors.  In January 2014 we made the decision to cease managing centers in Florida and terminated our affiliation with our healthcare provider in the state.  This decision was made due to the state’s difficult personal injury case environment, coupled with our Florida affiliate’s bankruptcy (the bankruptcy court has deemed the previously issued letters of protection we obtained through this affiliate will remain our property and should be unaffected by the bankruptcy). Also in January 2014, we made the decision to discontinue doing business in McAllen, Texas in connection with increased competition in the area.  We have no revenue from our Florida or McAllen affiliates for the three months ended March 31, 2014. During that period we only managed two spine injury diagnostic centers: Houston and San Antonio, Texas.  Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 were also negatively affected by other factors.  Our affiliated healthcare providers accepted fewer patient cases from certain attorneys whose cases had a history of low returns.  Further, because of the low returns we have experienced on cases of patients with minimal coverage limits, our diagnostic centers performed fewer of the medically-necessary procedures needed by these patients.
 
Service cost was $145,152 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $386,761 for the same period in 2013. The decrease in service cost is attributable to the lower case volume.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we incurred $579,073 of operating, general and administrative expenses compared with the $490,692 for the same period in 2013.  The increase is attributable to increases in quad video halo marketing expenses of approximately $61,000, consulting and professional fees of approximately $67,000, offset by lower travel expenses of approximately $15,000, investor relations expense of $12,000, and other net general and administrative expenses of approximately $13,000.
 
As a result of the foregoing, we had a net loss of $480,287 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $45,969 of net income for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
 
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2014, cash used in operations was $19,205, which primarily included an increase in accounts receivable of $283,694, a decrease in accounts payable of $11,979, prepaid expense of $17,919, and due to related party of $22,862, partially offset by the net loss of $480,287.  For the same period in 2013, cash used in operations was $61,948, which primarily included an increase in accounts receivable of $405,945 and a decrease in accounts payable of $32,148, partially offset by net income of $45,969.  
 
Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 included a purchase of equipment of $4,793 while there was no cash provided or used for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
 
Cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 consisted of a repayment on related party payables in the amount of $45,000.  For the same period in 2013, we made a repayment on related party payables in the amount of $45,000.

We collected $622,950 and $643,450 in settlements during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Going Concern Considerations

Since our inception in 1998, until commencement of our spine injury diagnostic operations in August, 2009, our expenses substantially exceeded our revenue, resulting in continuing losses and an accumulated deficit from operations of $15,004,698 as of December 31, 2009. Since that time, we have been able to reduce our deficit, and our accumulated deficit is $14,124,720 as of March 31, 2014. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we realized net revenue of $334,688 and net loss of $480,287. Successful business operations and our transition to positive cash flows from operations are dependent upon obtaining additional financing and achieving a level of collections adequate to support our cost structure. Considering the nature of our business, we are not generating immediate liquidity and sufficient working capital within a reasonable period of time to fund our planned operations and strategic business plan through March 31, 2015. There can be no assurances that there will be adequate financing available to us. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of our assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not Applicable.

ITEM 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining our disclosure controls and procedures. Such officers have concluded (based upon their evaluation of these controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report) that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in this report is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have also indicated that, upon evaluation, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting or other factors during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls will prevent all error 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. In addition, 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. 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, within a company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls 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. Because of these inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
 
 
PART II   OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1A.   RISK FACTORS
 
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, one should carefully consider the discussion of various risks and uncertainties contained in Part I, Item 1A,  “Risk Factors” in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  We believe the risk factors presented in this filing and those presented on our 2013 Form 10-K are the most relevant to our business and could cause our results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements made by us.
