NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business

     CalAmp Corp. ("CalAmp" or the "Company") is a leading provider of wireless communications solutions for a broad array of applications to customers globally. The Company’s two reporting segments are Wireless DataCom and Satellite.

     The Company uses a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to February 28, which for fiscal 2013, a 53-week year, fell on March 2, 2013. The actual interim periods described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ended on November 30, 2013 and November 24, 2012, both consisting of 13 weeks. In the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, the 2013 fiscal year end is shown as February 28 and the interim period end for both years is shown as November 30 for clarity of presentation.

     Certain notes and other information are condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 25, 2013.

     In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position at November 30, 2013 and its results of operations for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

     All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue Recognition

     The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection of the sales price is reasonably assured. Generally, these criteria are met at the time product is shipped, except for shipments made on the basis of "FOB Destination" terms, in which case title transfers to the customer and the revenue is recorded by the Company when the shipment reaches the customer. Customers generally do not have rights of return except for defective products returned during the warranty period. In the limited number of instances where customers have a right of return period, revenue is not recognized until the expiration of such period.

     The Company provides Software as a Service (SaaS) subscriptions for its fleet management and vehicle finance applications in which customers are provided with the ability to wirelessly communicate with monitoring devices installed in vehicles via a software application hosted by the Company. The Company defers the recognition of revenue for the monitoring device products that are sold with application subscriptions because the application services are essential to the functionality of the products, and accordingly, the associated product costs are recorded as deferred costs in the balance sheet. The deferred product revenue and deferred product cost amounts are amortized to application subscriptions revenue and cost of revenue on a straight-line basis over the minimum contractual service periods of one year to three years. Revenues from renewals of data communication services after the initial one year term are recognized as application subscriptions revenue when the services are provided. When customers prepay application subscription renewals, such amounts are recorded as deferred revenues and are recognized over the renewal term.

Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate:

     Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable - The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value given the short maturity of these instruments.

     Debt - The estimated fair value of the Company's bank debt approximates the carrying value of such debt because the interest rate is variable and is market-based.

NOTE 2 – WIRELESS MATRIX ACQUISITION

     On March 4, 2013, the Company acquired Wireless Matrix USA, Inc. (“Wireless Matrix”) for a cash payment of $53 million. The assets acquired by the Company included cash of $6.1 million. The Company funded the purchase price from the net proceeds of an equity offering of $44.8 million that was completed in February 2013, the net proceeds from a new $5 million bank term loan described in Note 5, and cash on hand.

     The Company has not yet obtained all information required to complete the purchase price allocation related to this acquisition. One of the purchase price allocation areas to be completed is the valuation of deferred income taxes for the acquired business. The final purchase price allocation will be completed in the current fiscal year. Following is the unaudited preliminary purchase price allocation (in thousands):

     The Company paid a premium (i.e., goodwill) over the fair value of the net tangible and identified intangible assets acquired. The Company expects to leverage Wireless Matrix’s mobile workforce management and asset tracking applications to build upon its current product offerings for its customers in the Energy, Government and Transportation markets. It also believes an opportunity exists to expand its turnkey offerings to global enterprise customers in new vertical markets. The Company believes that this acquisition will accelerate its development roadmap, enable it to offer higher margin turnkey solutions for new and existing customers, and further increase its relevance with mobile network operators and key channel partners in the global Machine-to-Machine (“M2M”) marketplace.

     The goodwill arising from the Wireless Matrix acquisition is not deductible for income tax purposes.

     Following is unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information presented as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2013. The pro forma consolidated financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the Company's actual results of operations would have been had Wireless Matrix been included in the Company's historical consolidated financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2012. In addition, the pro forma consolidated financial information does not attempt to project the future results of operations of the combined company.

6

(in thousands except per share amounts)

     The pro forma adjustments that are included in the table above consist of adding Wireless Matrix's standalone results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended October 31, 2012 to CalAmp’s historical results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2012. The pro forma net income above includes additional amortization expense of $1,188,000 and $3,564,000 for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2012, respectively, related to the estimated fair value of identifiable intangible assets arising from the preliminary purchase price allocation. In addition, the number of shares used in computing pro forma earnings per share includes 5,175,000 common stock shares sold in February 2013 to fund the acquisition of Wireless Matrix, as if such shares were outstanding during the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2012.

NOTE 5 – FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

Bank Credit Facility

     On March 1, 2013, the Company and Square 1 Bank entered into the Eighth Amendment (the “Eighth Amendment”) to the Loan and Security Agreement dated as of December 22, 2009 (as amended by the Eighth Amendment, the “Amended Loan Agreement”). The Eighth Amendment increased the maximum credit limit of the facility from $12 million to $15 million, lowered the interest rate on outstanding borrowings from prime plus 1.0% to prime, and extended the facility maturity date from August 15, 2014 to March 1, 2017. Interest is payable on the last day of each calendar month. The Eighth Amendment provided for a new $5 million term loan (the “New Term Loan”) that was fully funded on March 4, 2013. Concurrent with funding the New Term Loan, the pre-existing term loan with an outstanding principal balance of $1.8 million was retired. Principal of the New Term Loan was repayable at the rate of $83,333 per month beginning April 2013. The Company repaid the term loan in full in October 2013. The revolver portion of the Amended Loan Agreement has a borrowing limit equal to the lesser of (a) $15 million minus the term loan principal outstanding at any point in time, or (b) 85% of eligible accounts receivable. There were no borrowings outstanding on the revolver at November 30, 2013. The Company agreed to pay loan fees to Square 1 Bank in connection with the Eighth Amendment of $7,500 on the first anniversary and $37,500 on each of the next three anniversaries of the New Term Loan.

     The Amended Loan Agreement contains financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a minimum level of earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and other noncash charges ("EBITDA") and a minimum debt coverage ratio, both measured monthly beginning March 2013 on a rolling 12-month basis. At November 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants under the credit facility. The credit facility also provides for a number of customary events of default, including a provision that a material adverse change constitutes an event of default that permits the lender, at its option, to accelerate the loan. Among other provisions, the credit facility requires a lock-box and cash collateral account whereby cash remittances from the Company's customers are directed to the cash collateral account and which amounts are applied to reduce, if applicable, the outstanding revolving loan principal.

Navman Note Payable

     In connection with the acquisition of a product line from Navman Wireless (“Navman”) in May 2012, the Company issued a non-interest bearing note payable to Navman in the original face amount of $4,000,000 and a present value at the time of issuance of $3,080,000. The note is payable in the form of a 15% rebate on certain products sold by the Company to Navman under a five-year supply agreement that was entered into concurrently with the product line acquisition.

Long-Term Debt

     Long-term debt is comprised of the following (in thousands):

Other Non-Current Liabilities

     Other non-current liabilities consist of the following (in thousands):

NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES

     Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and for income tax purposes. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred income tax assets and a valuation allowance is provided, as necessary. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company reviews historical and future expected operating results and other factors, including its recent cumulative earnings experience, expectations of future taxable income by taxing jurisdiction and the net operating loss and tax credit carryforward periods available for tax reporting purposes, to determine whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets are realizable.

     The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. states, Canada and New Zealand. Income tax returns filed for fiscal years 2008 and earlier are not subject to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities. Certain income tax returns for fiscal years 2009 through 2013 remain open to examination by U.S federal and state tax authorities. Income tax returns for fiscal years 2010 through 2013 remain open to examination by tax authorities in Canada. The Company believes that it has made adequate provision for all income tax uncertainties pertaining to these open tax years.

     At November 30, 2013, the Company had a net deferred income tax asset balance of $36.5 million. The current portion of the deferred tax assets is $6.4 million and the non-current portion is $30.2 million. The net deferred income tax asset balance is comprised of a gross deferred tax asset of $39.8 million and a valuation allowance of $3.3 million.

9

       The effective income tax rate was 34.5% in the nine months ended November 30, 2013. No income tax provision was recorded during the nine months ended November 30, 2012, other than minimum income taxes in the U.S. and foreign income taxes, primarily due to the fact that the income tax provision was offset by a reduction of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

NOTE 7 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

       Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method, that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. In computing diluted earnings per share, the treasury stock method assumes that outstanding options are exercised and the proceeds are used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Options will have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when the Company reports net income and the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options.

       The following is a summary of the calculation of weighted average shares used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands):

       Shares underlying stock options of 65,000 and 411,000 at November 30, 2013 and November 30, 2012, respectively, were excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine month periods then ended because based on the exercise prices of these derivative securities their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method.

NOTE 8 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

       Stock-based compensation expense is included in the following captions of the unaudited consolidated income statements (in thousands):

10

       Changes in the Company's outstanding stock options during the nine months ended November 30, 2013 were as follows (options in thousands):

       During the nine months ended November 30, 2013, upon the net share settlement exercise of 54,899 options held by four directors of the Company, the Company retained 33,222 shares to cover the aggregate option exercise price.

       Changes in the Company's unvested restricted stock shares and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) during the nine months ended November 30, 2013 were as follows (restricted shares and RSUs in thousands):

       During the nine months ended November 30, 2013, the Company retained 202,286 shares of the vested restricted stock and RSUs to satisfy the employees’ minimum required statutory amount of withholding taxes.

       As of November 30, 2013, there was $7.8 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to nonvested stock options, restricted stock and RSUs that is expected to be recognized as an expense over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 3.2 years.

NOTE 9 – CONCENTRATION OF RISK

       Because the Company sells into markets dominated by a few large service providers, a significant percentage of consolidated revenues and consolidated accounts receivable relate to a small number of customers. One customer of the Company's Satellite business unit accounted for 22% and 18% of consolidated revenues for the quarters ended November 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and accounted for 22% of consolidated revenues in both of the nine-month periods then ended. This customer accounted for 17% and 14% of consolidated net accounts receivable at November 30, 2013 and February 28, 2013, respectively.

       A substantial portion of the Company’s inventory is purchased from one supplier that functions as an independent foreign procurement agent and contract manufacturer. This supplier accounted for 65% and 52% of Company's total inventory purchases in the nine months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. At November 30, 2013 and February 28, 2013, this supplier accounted for 60% and 63%, respectively, of the Company's total accounts payable.

       Some of the Company's components, assemblies and electronic manufacturing services are purchased from sole source suppliers.

11

NOTE 10 – PRODUCT WARRANTIES

       The Company generally warrants its products against defects over periods ranging from 3 to 24 months. An accrual for estimated future costs relating to products returned under warranty is recorded as an expense when products are shipped. At the end of each quarter, the Company adjusts its liability for warranty claims based on its actual warranty claims experience as a percentage of revenues for the preceding 12 to 24 months and also considers the impact of the known operational issues that may have a greater impact than historical trends. Accrued warranty costs are included in other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Activity in the accrued warranty costs liability for the nine months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012 is as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 11 – OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION

       "Net cash provided by operating activities" in the unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows includes cash payments for interest and income taxes as follows (in thousands):

       Following is the supplemental schedule of non-cash investing and financing activities (in thousands):

12

NOTE 12 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

       Segment information for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012 is as follows (dollars in thousands):

       The Company considers operating income to be the primary measure of operating performance of its business segments. The amount shown for each period in the "Corporate Expenses" column above consists of expenses that are not allocated to the business segments. These non-allocated corporate expenses include salaries and benefits of certain executive officers and expenses such as audit fees, investor relations, stock listing fees, director and officer liability insurance, and director fees and expenses. Corporate expenses include stock-based compensation expense of $140,000 and $142,000 in the three-month periods ended November 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $425,000 and $967,000, respectively, in the nine-month periods then ended.

NOTE 13 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

       From time to time as a normal consequence of doing business, various claims and litigation may be asserted or commenced against the Company. In particular, the Company in the ordinary course of business may receive claims concerning contract performance, or claims that its products or services infringe the intellectual property of third parties. While the outcome of any such claims or litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the outcome of any of such matters existing at the present time would have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 14 – SUBSEQUENT EVENT

       On December 18, 2013, the Company acquired Radio Satellite Integrators, Inc. (“RSI”) for a cash payment at closing of $6.5 million and future earn-out payments based on post-acquisition sales and gross profit performance in the aggregate estimated amount of $2.4 million that is payable quarterly over two years. RSI is a privately-held provider of fleet management solutions primarily to municipal government agencies supporting applications targeted at public works, waste management, transit and public safety.

       The Company's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company's consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues, costs and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. The critical accounting policies listed below involve the Company’s more significant accounting judgments and estimates that are used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. These policies are described in greater detail in Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) under Part II, Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2013, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 25, 2013, and include the following areas:

• Allowance for doubtful accounts;
• Inventory write-downs;
• Product warranties;
• Deferred income tax assets and uncertain tax positions;
• Impairment assessments of goodwill, purchased intangible assets and other long-lived assets;
• Stock-based compensation expense; and
• Revenue recognition.

Operating Results

       The Company's revenue, gross profit and operating income by business segment are as follows:

       Revenue

       Wireless DataCom revenue increased by $13.4 million, or 37%, to $49.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the fiscal 2013 third quarter. For the nine months ended November 30, 2013, Wireless DataCom revenue increased by $35.6 million, or 35%, to $137.8 million compared to the same period of the prior year. These increases were due primarily to the revenue contribution of the newly acquired Wireless Matrix business and increased demand for the Company’s MRM products on the part of fleet management and asset tracking customers. Meaningful contributions from the emerging Auto Insurance Telematics vertical also helped drive growth in the third quarter. The Company’s Wireless Networks business, which comprises the remainder of the Wireless DataCom segment, benefitted from strength in the Energy vertical.

       Satellite revenue increased by $5.8 million, or 72%, to $13.8 million in the three months ended November 30, 2013 from $8.0 million for the same period in the previous fiscal year. For the nine months ended November 30, 2013, Satellite revenue increased by $8.2 million, or 28%, to $38.2 million from $30.0 million for the same period of the prior year. These increases were due primarily to the introduction of new home networking products that were launched in fiscal 2013.

       Gross Profit and Gross Margins

       Wireless DataCom gross profit increased 44% to $18.2 million in the fiscal 2014 third quarter compared to $12.6 million in the third quarter of last year, and gross margin increased to 36.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 from 34.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 2013. Wireless DataCom gross profit increased 41% to $51.7 million in the nine months ended November 30, 2013, compared to $36.8 million for the same period of the prior year. Wireless DataCom gross margin increased to 37.5% in the nine months ended November 30, 2013 from 36.0% for the same period of the prior year. These improvements were primarily due to higher margins for the application subscriptions revenue of Wireless Matrix, which was acquired at the beginning of fiscal 2014, compared to the rest of the Wireless DataCom revenues.

15

       Satellite gross profit increased by $1.4 million to $2.8 million in the fiscal 2014 third quarter compared to the third quarter of last year. Satellite's gross margin increased to 20.6% in the fiscal 2014 third quarter from 17.7% in the third quarter of last year. These improvements are attributable to changes in product mix and product cost reductions.

       The Satellite segment had gross profit of $7.6 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2013, compared to gross profit of $5.1 million for the same period last year. Satellite gross margin was 20.0% for the nine months ended November 30, 2013, compared to 16.9% for the same period last year. These increases are attributable to the same factors cited above for the three month periods.

       See also Note 12 to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional operating data by business segment.

       Operating Expenses

       Consolidated research and development (“R&D”) expense increased to $5.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 from $3.6 million in the third quarter of last year due primarily to the Wireless Matrix acquisition, which accounted for $1.1 million of the increase. For the nine-month year-to-date periods, R&D expense increased from $10.4 million last year to $15.7 million this year due primarily to the Wireless Matrix acquisition, which accounted for $3.9 million of the increase. The Company’s MRM business accounted for $0.5 million of the increase in the three month period and $1.5 million of the increase in the nine month period.

       Consolidated selling expenses increased to $4.9 million in the third quarter of this year from $3.0 million last year. For the nine-month year-to-date periods, selling expenses increased from $9.0 million last year to $14.8 million this year. The Wireless Matrix acquisition accounted for $1.4 million of the increase in the three month period and $4.1 million of the increase in the nine month period. The MRM and Wireless Networks businesses accounted for the remaining increases due to higher payroll expense as a result of additional sales and marketing personnel.

       Consolidated general and administrative expenses ("G&A") increased to $3.3 million in the third quarter of this year from $2.7 million last year. The Wireless Matrix acquisition accounted for a third of the increase. The remaining increase is attributable primarily to higher information technology expense. For the nine-month periods, consolidated G&A increased to $10.5 million for fiscal 2014 from $8.8 million last year due primarily to the Wireless Matrix acquisition, which accounted for $1.2 million of the increase.

       Amortization of intangibles increased from $0.5 million in the third quarter of last year to $1.5 million in the third quarter of this year. For the nine-month periods, amortization of intangibles increased to $4.6 million this year from $1.3 million last year. These increases are attributable to the Navman product line acquisition in May 2012 and the Wireless Matrix acquisition in March 2013.

       Non-operating Expense, Net

       Non-operating expense, net decreased by $61,000 to $77,000 in the third quarter of this year compared to $138,000 in the third quarter of last year due primarily to decreased interest expense of $57,000 on the lower balance of the Navman note outstanding in the third quarter of this year compared to the same period last year.

       Non-operating expense, net was $327,000 in the nine months ended November 30, 2013 compared to $330,000 in the nine months ended November 30, 2012.

       Income Tax Provision

       The effective income tax rate was 29.4% and 34.5% in the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2013, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2013 is lower than the combined U.S. statutory federal and state income tax rate of approximately 41% due primarily to research and development tax credits and because no foreign taxes were provided for certain foreign earnings that are sheltered by foreign net operating loss carryforwards for which no tax benefit was previously recognized.

16

       No income tax provision was recorded during the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2012, other than minimum income taxes in the U.S. and foreign income taxes, primarily due to the fact that the income tax provision was offset by a reduction of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance. Substantially all of the remaining deferred tax asset valuation allowance was eliminated in the quarter ended February 28, 2013 in connection with an assessment of the future realizability of the Company’s deferred tax assets.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

       On March 1, 2013, the Company and Square 1 Bank entered into the Eighth Amendment (the “Eighth Amendment”) to the Loan and Security Agreement dated as of December 22, 2009 (as amended by the Eighth Amendment, the “Amended Loan Agreement”). The Eighth Amendment increased the maximum credit limit of the facility from $12 million to $15 million, lowered the interest rate on outstanding borrowings from prime plus 1.0% to prime, and extended the facility maturity date from August 15, 2014 to March 1, 2017. Interest is payable on the last day of each calendar month. The Eighth Amendment provided for a new $5 million term loan (the “New Term Loan”) that was fully funded on March 4, 2013. Concurrent with funding the New Term Loan, the pre-existing bank term loan with an outstanding principal balance of $1.8 million was retired. Principal of the New Term Loan was repayable at the rate of $83,333 per month beginning April 2013. The Company repaid the term loan in full in October 2013. The revolver portion of the Amended Loan Agreement has a borrowing limit equal to the lesser of (a) $15 million minus the term loan principal outstanding at any point in time, or (b) 85% of eligible accounts receivable. There were no borrowings outstanding on the revolver at November 30, 2013.

       The Amended Loan Agreement contains financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a minimum level of earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and other noncash charges ("EBITDA") and a minimum debt coverage ratio, both measured monthly beginning March 2013 on a rolling 12-month basis.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Currency Risk

       The Company has international operations, giving rise to exposure to market risks from changes in foreign exchange rates. A cumulative foreign currency translation loss of $65,000 related to the Company's Canadian subsidiary is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the stockholders' equity section of the consolidated balance sheet at November 30, 2013, where it will remain unchanged for such time that the Canadian subsidiary continues to be part of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The aggregate foreign currency transaction exchange rate losses included in determining income before income taxes were $10,000 and $9,000 in the three months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The aggregate foreign currency transaction exchange rate losses included in determining income before income taxes were $45,000 and $12,000 in the nine months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Interest Rate Risk

       The Company has variable-rate bank debt. A fluctuation of one percent in the interest rate on the $15 million credit facility with Square 1 Bank would have an annual impact of approximately $150,000 on the Company's consolidated income statement assuming that the full amount of the facility was borrowed. At November 30, 2013, there were no outstanding borrowings on this bank credit facility.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

       The Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded, based on their evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this Report, that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

       There has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company's most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
