BOSTON OMAHA CORPORATION
(formerly known as REO Plus, Inc.)

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for the
Three Months Ended March 31, 2015



NOTE 1.                      ORGANIZATION AND BACKGROUND

Boston Omaha Corporation (formerly known as REO Plus, Inc.) (“the Company”) was organized on August 11, 2009 for the purpose of investing in real estate.  The Company’s operations include its investment in Ananda Investments, LLC (“Ananda”) and business consulting services.  Revenues from consulting services are attributable to one client that is related to a former officer and director of the Company.

On March 18, 2015, the Company filed Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission disclosing its conversion from a Texas corporation to a Delaware corporation.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Boston Omaha Corporation (formerly known as REO Plus, Inc.) and Subsidiary have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 contained in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 6, 2015.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein.  The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  Notes to the interim consolidated financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 as reported in the Company’s Form 10-K have been omitted.

NOTE 2.                      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Consolidation Policy

The financial statements of Boston Omaha Corporation include the accounts of Boston Omaha Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ananda Holdings, LLC (“AHLLC”.)  AHLLC is a Texas limited liability company and was formed on February 6, 2015 for the purpose of holding the Company’s 40% interest in Ananda Investments, LLC (“Ananda”.)

All significant intercompany profits, losses, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $589,622 since its inception and has not yet produced earnings from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that the Company cannot continue as a going concern. Management anticipates that it will be able to raise additional working capital through subsequent debt and equity offerings, including but not limited to private investments in public equity.

NOTE 2.                      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to attain a satisfactory level of profitability and obtain suitable and adequate financing.  There can be no assurance that management’s plan will be successful.
 
NOTE 3.                      INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATE

In January 2, 2010 the Company acquired a 40% interest in Ananda Investments, LLC, a Texas member managed limited liability company which owns a commercial real estate rental property in Houston, Texas.  The investment was acquired from a controlling stockholder.

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for the

NOTE 4.                      NOTES PAYABLE, STOCKHOLDERS (Continued)

Two of the notes payable, totaling $398,224 were sold by the former controlling stockholder to the two new stockholders.  The third note is payable to the former controlling stockholder. The restructure of the notes payable was accounted for as an extinguishment of the debt.  There was no gain or loss on extinguishment since the fair value of the restructured notes was equivalent to the fair value of the notes prior to restructure.  (See Note 5.)

On February 13, 2015, the former controlling stockholder resigned his positions of Chief Executive Officer and director of the Company.

As of February 13, 2015, the two new stockholders own an equal interest in 95% of the Company’s common stock.
 
NOTE 5.                      NOTE PAYABLE, RELATED PARTY

At March 31, 2015, note payable, related party consists of a note payable to the former controlling stockholder in the principal amount of $135,494.  The note bears interest at 5.76% per annum, is due February 12, 2016, and is secured by the Company’s 40% interest in Ananda.  The Company may elect to fully satisfy the outstanding principal and accrued interest by transferring the Company’s 40% interest in Ananda to the former controlling stockholder.  The former controlling stockholder may also elect to accept the transfer of the Company’s 40% interest in Ananda in full satisfaction of the unpaid principal and accrued interest.

Additionally, the Company has appointed the former controlling stockholder as proxy to act on behalf of the Company with respect to the Company’s ownership interest in Ananda.  The proxy extends to all actions, other than “extraordinary actions” defined in the Proxy Agreement.

NOTE 6.                      CAPITAL STOCK

On March 16, 2015, the Company converted its charter from Texas to Delaware.  In connection with its conversion the Company changed its authorized shares of preferred stock from 10,000,000 shares to 3,000,000 shares.

On the same date, the Company changed its authorized shares of common stock from 500,000,000 shares to 30,000,000 shares.
 
NOTE 7.                      COMMITMENTS

The Company is joint and severally liable as a guarantor on Ananda’s mortgage note payable to a bank.  The note is secured by a first lien deed of trust on the land and building owned by Ananda.  The note matures during June, 2028.  At March 31, 2015, the balance due was $377,851 and all of the payments have been made timely. (See Note 3.)  The Company’s obligation as a guarantor on this note terminates upon the transfer of the Company’s membership interest in Ananda to the former controlling stockholder. (See Note 5.)

In connection with the sale of his interest in the Company, the former controlling stockholder executed a guaranty to the Company for the entire amount of the debt.  Should Ananda default on the note, the Company could potentially be liable for part or all of the unpaid principal and accrued interest.
 
NOTE 8.                      SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 10, 2015, the Company borrowed $100,000 from each of its two major stockholders.  The promissory notes bear interest at 5% per annum and are due on March 31, 2016.  Any or all of the promissory notes may be converted to shares of common stock.  Such conversion may not occur until the
Company has raised $1,000,000 in gross proceeds from one or a series of equity offerings.  The conversion price will be equal to 80% of the price paid by investors in the financing for identical securities.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events.  These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.  In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions.  Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other Securities and Exchange Commission filings.  The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Financial Statements and related Notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

General

The Company was incorporated on August 10, 2009 under the laws of the State of Texas.  On March 18, 2015, in order to change our state of incorporation to Delaware, we converted from a Texas corporation to a Delaware corporation.  This action was taken by means of an action by consent of stockholders owning approximately 95% of our issued and outstanding common stock.  Notice of the conversion, and of the rights of existing stockholders to certain appraisal rights, was mailed by the Company’s transfer agent to all stockholders of record of our common stock as required by the laws of the State of Texas.   None of our stockholders exercised any appraisal rights.  As part of the reincorporation, we changed the name of the Company to “Boston Omaha Corporation.” The address of the Company is c/o Boulderado Group, LLC, 292 Newbury Street, Suite 333, Boston, Massachusetts   02115, and its telephone number is 857-342-3483.

      The Company was originally formed by a Delaware corporation then known as “Akashic Ventures, Inc.” (“Akashic”), for purposes of acquiring financially attractive real estate properties.  Akashic is a publicly held corporation that once filed reports with the Commission.  Akashic has been dormant from a business perspective since the summer of 1997.  Richard J. Church acquired control of Akashic on May 18, 2008.  Until February 2015, Mr. Church was the sole promoter of the Company, and he served as the Company's sole director, and the Company’s President, Treasurer and Secretary.

On February 13, 2015, Mr.  Church, entered into an agreement with each of Boulderado Partners, LLC (“Boulderado”) and Magnolia Capital Fund, LP (“Magnolia”) whereby:
 
a.  
Mr. Church sold to each of Boulderado and Magnolia 887,775 shares of our common stock owned by Mr. Church at a purchase price of $.001 per share.  These constituted all of the shares of Common Stock owned by Mr. Church, representing approximately 95% of our issued and outstanding shares.
b.  
Mr. Church sold to each of Boulderado and Magnolia a 50% interest in a certain promissory note issued by the Company to Mr. Church in the principal amount of $298,224.50.
c.  
Mr. Church also agreed to convey to each of Boulderado and Magnolia a 50% interest in another promissory note issued by the Company to Mr. Church in the principal amount of $100,000.
d.  
Mr. Church retained a non-recourse promissory note issued by Ananda Holding, LLC (“Holding”), a new wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, in the principal amount of $135,494.14 (the “Holding Note”).

These debt instruments, which in their principal amounts total $533,718.64, replace all prior debt instruments issued by the Company to Mr. Church.

As part of the overall transaction, we transferred to Holding all of our equity interests in Ananda Investments, LLC.  Holding has pledged to Mr. Church our interest in Ananda Investments as security for repayment of the sums due under the Holding Note.  Under the terms of the Holding Note, Holding may transfer our entire interest in Anada Investments to Mr. Church in exchange for the Holding Note and Mr. Church may exchange the Holding Note for our entire interest in Ananda Investments.  Upon any exchange of our interest in Ananda Investments, the Holding Note will be deemed paid in full.  Until such time as the exchange has taken place, Holding has granted to Mr. Church a limited proxy to vote on behalf of Holding on certain matters related to our membership interest in Ananda Investments, with certain major transactions requiring our prior approval, as the sole member of Holding.

When the Company was formed in August 2009, Akashic contributed $27,500 to the Company’s capital, and in consideration thereof the Company issued to Akashic 934,500 shares of Company common stock, thereby making Akashic the Company’s initial shareholder.  Until early 2010, Mr. Church was a 40% owner of Ananda Investments, LLC (“Ananda”), a Texas limited liability company that owns a particular real estate property near and west of downtown Houston, Texas.  This 40% ownership is comprised of 400 units of limited liability company member interest.  In early 2010, Mr. Church transferred his 40% ownership in Ananda to the Company.  The Company issued to Mr. Church some of its shares of common stock as part of the purchase price for the Ananda interest.  As a result of the Ananda transfer, the Company became the largest owner of Ananda by a wide margin.   Because Ananda is member-managed, the Company exerts the greatest control over Ananda.

On February 19, 2015, Mr. Church appointed Alex B. Rozek, a principal of Boulderado Group, LLC, as our sole Director and President.  On March 18, 2015, Mr. Rozek elected Adam K. Peterson, a principal of Magnolia Capital Fund, L.P. as an additional Director and Executive Vice President of the Company. On April 10, 2015, we borrowed in the aggregate $200,000.00 and entered into separate promissory note arrangements with each of Boulderado Partners, LLC and Magnolia Capital Fund, LP, whereby we borrowed $100,000 from each of these parties under the terms of a convertible promissory note.  All principal and interest under these promissory notes is due and payable on March 31, 2016.  At the option of a noteholder, until such time as the sums due under the promissory note are paid in full, all or a portion of the sums due under the promissory note may be converted into equity securities sold in any subsequent financing or related series of financings raising gross proceeds of $1,000,000, at a price equal to 80% of the price paid by investors in the financing for identical securities.  The proceeds from these loans will be used for general working capital purposes.

The Company became a publicly held corporation in November 2012 when Akashic distributed to certain of its shareholders a total of 930,493 shares of Company common stock held by it.  The Company has not yet registered as a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Plan of Operation

The Company historically has sought well-located properties in need of capital infusion, or total redevelopment, as properties requiring more extensive real estate skills and effort allow for the greatest appreciation on invested capital.  The properties and assets to be acquired by the Company will most likely include commercial, retail, residential and mixed-use properties.  Such properties and assets will less likely include office properties, and will almost certainly not include industrial properties.  Thus far, the Company has acquired only an interest in one property.  For a description of this sole property interest, see the section captioned “Item 2.  Properties” in the Company’s 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 6, 2015 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Company may elect to continue to pursue acquisitions in commercial real estate opportunities throughout the United States and may pursue other commercial opportunities unrelated to real estate.   The Company believes that its fairly new status as a public SEC reporting company may ease the Company’s ability to raise funds, and make the completion of acquisitions to be identified in the future more likely.  However, the Company has no assurances that any financing, acquisitions or merger will occur.  Both Mr. Rozek and Mr. Peterson have the responsibility for identifying acquisitions or selecting acquisitions identified by other sources.  
 
The Company is now evaluating potential target acquisitions from a number of sources.  Moreover, potential acquisitions may be brought to the Company’s attention by sources as a result of being solicited by the Company through calls or mailings.  

The Company has been approached by entities offering their properties and businesses for sale and other entities contemplating the merger of the Company with their non-public corporations, but these discussions have not evolved to the point where the Company has entered into any definitive agreements.  The Company will continue to identify and evaluate prospective acquisitions, performing business due diligence on prospective acquisitions, traveling to and from the property and asset locations that represent prospective acquisitions, reviewing corporate, financial documents and material agreements regarding prospective property acquisitions, selecting properties to acquire and striving to structure, negotiate and consummate acquisitions.  The Company will have certain burdens and costs with respect to these activities and certain additional risks associated with the subsequent integration of additional assets or properties into the Company’s operations.
 
 
 
19

 

The Company does not presently intend to invest primarily in real estate mortgages, securities of or interests in persons primarily engaged in real estate activities (other than the Company’s current interest in Ananda), or investments in other securities such as bonds, preferred stocks or common stocks.  However, the Company's Board of Directors may elect to make these investments in the future without a vote of shareholders, except that the Company does not expect that the level of such investments would require it to register as an investment company under the Investment Advisor Act of 1940, as amended..

For a description of the Company’s acquisition criteria and policies, see the sections captioned “Item 1. Business - Acquisition Selection” and “Item 1. Business - Policies with Respect to Certain Activities” in the Company’s 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 6, 2015 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Results of Operations - General

The Company was incorporated on August 10, 2009 for purposes of acquiring financially attractive real estate properties.  The Company made its first and heretofore only property acquisition in early January 2010.  This acquisition consisted of a 40% ownership interest in Ananda Investments, LLC (“Ananda”), a Texas member managed limited liability company that owns a particular real estate property near and west of downtown Houston, Texas.  Because it has owned only this single asset since 2010, the Company has limited financial results to report.

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or the JOBS Act, was signed into law on April 5, 2012.  As permitted under Section 102(b)(1) of this Act, the Company has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards.  This election allows the Company to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.  As a result of this election, the Company's financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates.

Results of Operations – Boston Omaha Corporation

Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2014

Revenues.  During the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2015, the Company had revenues in the amount of $9,700 from fee income compared to $6,499 from fee income during the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2014.
 
Expenses.  During the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2015, the Company had expenses in the amount of $72,371, all from professional fees related primarily to the reincorporation of the Company as a Delaware corporation.  These expenses represent an increase of $43,103 from expenses in the amount of $29,268 (nearly all from professional fees) during the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2014.  

Net Loss from Operations.  As a result of the increase in expenses during the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2015, the Company’s net loss from operations increased to $62,721 during the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2015 compared to a net loss from operations of $22,769 during the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2014.
 
Other Income (Expense).   During the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2015, the Company had equity in income of its unconsolidated affiliate, Ananda Investments, LLC (“Ananda”), in the amount of $3,772.  This equity in income of unconsolidated affiliate represents an increase from the equity in loss of its unconsolidated affiliate in the amount of $2,887 during the first quarter of Fiscal 2014, reflecting the positive results of  increased rental income.   During the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2015, the Company had interest expense in the amount of $8,294.  Most of this interest was due to Richard J. Church, the previous sole director and officer, for working capital loans and the loan to purchase the ownership interest in Ananda.   The Company had interest expense in the amount of $6,693 during the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2014.

Net loss.  As a result of the increase in net loss from operations and increase in interest expense, offset to a lesser extent in the increase in the equity in income of unconsolidated affiliate, the Company had a net loss in the amount of $67,243 during the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2015, or a per-share loss of $0.04, compared to net loss in the amount of $32,349 during the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2014, or a per-share loss of $0.02.

Results of Operations – Ananda Investments, LLC

Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2014

Revenues.  During the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2015, Ananda had revenues in the amount of $28,800.  These revenues represent an increase of $18,900 from revenues in the amount of $9,900 during the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2015.  This increase resulted from the Ananda’s procurement of a primary tenant during the third quarter of 2014.

Expenses.  During the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2015, Ananda had expenses in the amount of $14,159, which represents an increase of $2,497 from expenses in the amount of $11,662 during the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2014, as Ananda had increased expenses relating to repairs and maintenance that it did not have during the first quarter of 2014.
 
Net Income (Loss) from Operations.  In view of the increase in income offset to some extent by an increase in expenses, Ananda had a net income from operations in the amount of $14,641 during the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2015 compared to net loss from operations in the amount of $1,762 during the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2014.

Other Income (Expense).  During the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2015, Ananda had interest expense in the amount of $5,233, which represents a small decrease from interest expense in the amount of $5,488 during the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2014.   During the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2015, Ananda had interest income in the amount of $23 compared to interest income in the amount of $33 during the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2014.

 Net Income.  In view of the increase in income offset to some extent  by an increase in expenses, Ananda had  net income in the amount of $9,431 during the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2015 compared to a net loss in the amount of $7,217 during the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Requirements

The Company began its pursuit of real estate acquisitions in 2010.  Currently, the Company has only one real estate interest.  If we elect to acquire other real properties, we expect to finance any future acquisition with a combination of a cash down payment (probably 10% to 25% or more of the purchase price) and seller or third party financing (for the remaining approximately 75% to 90% of the purchase price), although the Company may in limited circumstances be able to satisfy a portion of the purchase price for a property with the Company’s equity securities.  The Company will need to procure cash to fund future down payments from a future private equity offering.  

The Company is currently evaluating the scope of the acquisitions that it wishes to pursue.  The amount of capital that the Company will need will depend on the scope of the acquisitions that the Company ultimately decides to pursue, which is uncertain at this time.  However, for the Company to acquire any additional real estate properties or non-real estate based operating businesses, the Company would be required to undertake certain financing activities.  The sources for financing would most likely be equity sources, including but not limited to, for example, private investments in public equity such as institutional investors or wealthy individuals.  The Company currently does not have any binding commitments for additional financing.  The Company cannot assure anyone that additional financing will be available to it when needed or, if available, that such financing can be obtained on commercially reasonably terms.  If the Company does not obtain additional financing, it will not be able to acquire any additional real estate properties or operating businesses, and perhaps will not even be able to stay in business for that matter.  If the Company does not obtain necessary additional financing, it may be constrained to attempt to sell the sole interest that it has heretofore acquired or additional interests that it may hereafter acquire.  The Company granted to Richard Church, the former President and sole director of the Company, a security interest in its membership interest in Ananda to secure payment of a promissory note due on February 12, 2016 in the principal amount of $135,494.14..  Under certain circumstances, the Company could be forced to cease its operations and liquidate its remaining assets, if any.  The Company cannot assure anyone that it will be successful in obtaining necessary capital and in its acquisition activities.

The Company has incurred losses since inception.  These losses have been financed by loans to the Company by Richard J. Church, the controlling stockholder of the Company prior to February 2015, and an entity controlled by him and since February 2015 from loans provided by Boulderado and Magnolia.  The aggregate amount of the loans to the Company from Mr. Church through January 2015 totaled $509,960, including the $190,000 that was due to Mr. Church related to the Company’s acquisition of its sole current property interest.  Of the aggregate of the working capital loans, $170,960 was borrowed through fiscal 2012, $90,000 during fiscal 2013, $43,500 during fiscal 2014, and $19,000 during January 2015.  During January 2015, the Company repaid $3,500 to Mr. Church, since this amount was inadvertently remitted to the Company.  In connection with his sale of his entire interest in the Company, Mr. Church restructured the notes payable in the principal amount of $509,960 and accrued interest of $23,758 into three separate promissory notes totaling $533,718.  Of this amount, $398,224 was sold by Mr. Church to Boulderado and Magnolia.  The third note, in the amount of $135,494 is payable to Mr. Church.  In April, 2015, Boulderado and Magnolia lent the Company an additional $200,000.  Further information about this outstanding amount can be found in “Item 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence – Related Transactions” in the Company’s 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 6, 2015  with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and in reports on Form 8-K filed on February 23, 2015 and April 18, 2015 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.  Boulderado and Magnolia indicate that they intend to continue to loan funds to the Company for expenses in excess of revenues for the next 12 months, but they are under no legal obligation to do so.

Accordingly, if Boulderado and Magnolia elect not to provide additional funds, the Company would be constrained to find alternative sources of funds.  The Company currently has no assurance that it will be able to find such alternative sources.  


Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.  Based on that evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer have identified that the lack of segregation of accounting duties as a result of limited personnel resources is a material weakness of its financial procedures.  Other than for this exception, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer believe the disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and that our disclosure and controls are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation and there were no corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures 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. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. 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 our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, 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; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the period of this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
