(Unaudited)
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 31, 2011
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company,
without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been omitted. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments
(which include only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the
financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been
made. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or of
results to be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended
November 30, 2010 (including the notes thereto) set forth in Form 10-K.
2. BUSINESS ACTIVITIES:
TBX Resources, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Texas in March 1995. In the past
we have primarily focused our business efforts on acquiring oil and gas production
properties and leases. We did this because we believed that the major oil companies
were leaving the US domestic oil and gas market due to domestic oil and gas
exploration properties being significantly depleted. However this trend has changed
and major oil companies are again acquiring domestic properties primarily in fields
where natural gas is prevalent. This has increased the competition and prices for oil
properties and management believes, due to our current financial condition, that we
will not be able to compete for and purchase oil and gas properties as effectively as
we have in the past. In response to this trend management has recently initiated
changes to the Companys business plan. Currently, our primary focus is to secure
additional capital through business alliances with third parties or other debt/equity
financing arrangements to acquire companies and assets which will allow the company
to operate in the oil field services industry with an emphasis on acquiring companies
involved in salt water and drilling fluid disposal. Secondarily we will continue to
seek out and acquire producing oil and gas leases and wells. At this time we have no
specific acquisition targets identified but we are actively engaged generally in such
a search.
3. GOING CONCERN:
The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which
contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the
normal course of business. However, the Company has negative stockholders equity and
minimal working capital. In addition, the Company sold its primary source of revenue
(East Texas properties) effective April 1, 2008 and forfeited its interest in the
Johnson #1 and Johnson #2 Joint Ventures effective September 7, 2010 (see Note 8).
These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as
a going concern.
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Revenue Recognition
For direct oil and gas operations, the revenue is recorded when production is
sold. The Company accrues revenue for oil and gas production sold but not paid. See
Receivables below.
Concentration of Credit Risk
During the six months ended May 31, 2011 the Company received advances from
Gulftex totaling $41,481. During the six months ended May 31, 2010 the Company had a
net reduction in advances from Gulftex totaling $108,360. The balance due Gulftex as
of May 31, 2011 is $53,337.
Oil and Gas Revenue Receivable
F-4
Table of Contents
Receivables consist of accrued oil and gas receivables due from either
purchasers of oil and gas or operators in oil and natural gas wells for which the
Company owns an interest. Oil and natural gas sales are generally unsecured and such
amounts are generally due within 30 days after the month of sale.
Inventory
Inventory consists of crude oil held in storage tanks. Inventory is stated at
market based on anticipated selling prices.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at the Companys cost and are depreciated on a
straight-line basis over five to seven years. Maintenance and repair costs are
expensed when incurred, while major improvements are capitalized.
Oil and Gas Properties
The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas
exploration and development expenditures. Under this method, costs of successful
exploratory wells and all development wells are capitalized. Costs to drill
exploratory wells that do not find proved reserves are expensed.
Significant costs associated with the acquisition of oil and gas properties are
capitalized. Upon sale or abandonment of units of property or the disposition of
miscellaneous equipment, the cost is removed from the asset account, the related
reserves relieved of the accumulated depreciation or depletion and the gain or
abandonment loss is credited to or charged against operations. Both proved and
unproved oil and gas properties that are individually significant are periodically
assessed for impairment of value, and a loss is recognized at the time of impairment.
Capitalized costs of producing oil and gas properties, after considering estimated
dismantlement and abandonment costs and estimated salvage values are depreciated and
depleted by the unit-of-production method. Support equipment and other property and
equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
Long-lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets to be held and used, including proved oil
and gas properties accounted for under the successful efforts method of accounting,
whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may
not be recoverable. An impairment loss is indicated if the sum of the expected
undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets. In
this circumstance, the Company recognizes an impairment loss for the amount by which
the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset.
The Company provides for depreciation, depletion and amortization of its investment
in producing oil and gas properties on the unit-of-production method, based upon
independent reserve engineers estimates of recoverable oil and gas reserves from the
property.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations by recording the fair value of
a liability for an asset retirement obligation (ARO) in the period in which it is
incurred when a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. Asset retirement
obligations are capitalized as part of the carrying value of the long-lived asset.
The Company writes down capitalized ARO assets if they are impaired.
The following table describes changes to the asset retirement liability for the six
months ended May 31, 2011.

Equity Instruments Issued for Goods and Services
The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award
of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award on the grant date. That
cost is recognized in the financial statements over the period during which the
employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award with a
corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and
liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in
which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect
on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
income in the period that includes the enactment date. Income tax expense is the tax
payable for the year plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax
assets and liabilities.
Earnings Per Share (EPS)
Basic earnings per common share are calculated by dividing net income or loss by the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per
common share are calculated by adjusting outstanding shares, assuming conversion of
all potentially dilutive stock options. The computation of diluted EPS does not
assume conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of shares that would have an
antidilutive effect on earnings per common share. Antidilution results from an
increase in earnings per share or reduction in loss per share from the inclusion of
potentially dilutive shares in EPS calculations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates
include: estimates of proved reserves as key components of the Companys depletion
rate for oil properties; accruals of operating costs; estimates of production
revenues; and calculating asset retirement obligations. Because there are numerous
uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, actual results could differ
materially from these estimates.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company adopted fair value accounting for certain financial assets and
liabilities that have been evaluated at least annually. The standard defines fair
value as the price at which an asset could be exchanged in a current transaction
between knowledgeable, willing parties. A liabilitys fair value is defined as the
amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor, not the amount
that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor. Impairment analyses
will be made of all assets using fair value measurements.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized based upon the level of
judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical
levels, defined by generally accepted accounting principles and directly related to
the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these
assets and liabilities, are as follows:
F-6
Table of Contents
Level 1 | Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access. | |
Level 2 | Inputs to the valuation methodology include: |
| quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; | ||
| quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; | ||
| inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset of liability; | ||
| inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. | ||
If the asset or liability has specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 impute must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. |
Level 3 | Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |
Cash, receivable and payable amounts, accrued expenses and other current
liabilities are carried at book value amounts which approximate fair value due to the
short-term maturity of these instruments.
5. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
During the six months ended May 31, 2011 and the year ended November 30, 2010, there
were several new accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB. Each of these
pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management
does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had or
will have a material impact on the Companys financial position or operating results.
The Company will monitor these emerging issues to assess any potential future impact
on its consolidated financial statements.
6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
The Company conducts substantial transactions with Gulftex. These related party
transactions have a significant impact on the financial condition and operations of
the Company. If these transactions were conducted with third parties, the financial
condition and operations of the Company could be materially different from reported
results.
a. | During the six months ended May 31, 2011 the Company received advances from Gulftex totaling $41,481. During the six months ended May 31, 2010 the Company had a net reduction in advances from Gulftex totaling $108,360. The balance due Gulftex as of May 31, 2011 is $53,337. | ||
b. | The Company is charging Gulftex rent for a portion of the Companys office space and Gulftex is charging the Company administrative expenses as it relates to TBX operations. The Company billed $15,211 for the six months ended May 31, 2011 and $36,756 for the six months ended May 31, 2010. Gulftex began to bill the Company for administrative services in the current quarter which totaled $7,500 ($2,500 per month). |
7. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION:
The Company executed an amended Employment Agreement effective August 4, 2005
with our president Mr. Tim Burroughs for three years. Among other items, the
agreement provides that Mr. Burroughs has the contractual right to require TBX to
issue, upon his request, up to 250,000 common share options subject to certain
conditions. The conditions are that the options will not be issued unless Mr.
Burroughs makes a demand for their issuance and the number of shares so demanded have
vested (the agreement provides that 50,000 potential options vest at the beginning of
each employment year for the five year term of the agreement and are cumulative.) The
amendment also changed how the options are to be priced. The options are to be priced
at a maximum exercise price of one-half the bid price for TBX common stock as of
August 4, 2005 or $0.70 per share (one-half $1.40 the closing bid price on August 4,
2005.) In the event the closing bid price of TBXs common stock is below $0.70 on the
date of a call by Mr. Burroughs, the exercise price would be reduced to the lower
actual bid price. Mr. Burroughs Employment Agreement was further amended in April
2007. In exchange for TBX dropping the three year service requirement, Mr. Burroughs
agreed to forgo his eligibility to call for stock options for fiscal years 2005 and
2006. The Employment Agreement was again amended on December 1, 2010 wherein options
were continued for an additional five
F-7
Table of Contents
years at an option price no greater than 50% of the closing price on December
1, 2010 or $0.015 per share (one-half of the $0.03 closing bid price on December 1,
2010). Mr. Burroughs did not call any of his potential stock options as of May 31,
2011. In accordance with the terms of the Amended Employment Agreement, no
compensation expense is recognized as of May 31, 2011 related to Mr. Burroughs
potential common stock options.
The Company executed an amended Employment Agreement effective April 1, 2006 with our
Vice President of Investor Relations, Dick ODonnell, having a term of one year,
which automatically renews unless otherwise terminated as provided in said agreement.
Under the terms of the agreement the Company agreed to issue Mr. ODonnell options to
acquire 25,000 shares of common stock per quarter beginning April 1, 2006 for a
period of up to three years at an exercise price of $0.15 per share. The option
exercise period is one year from its date. Mr. ODonnells options to acquire common
stock expired on January 1, 2009.
8. FORFEITURE OF OIL AND GAS INTERESTS:
The Company was recently notified it had forfeited its interest in the Johnson #1 -H
and Johnson #2-H Joint Ventures effective September 7, 2010 for not paying a Special
Assessment of $43,008 for estimated workover expenses. If the Company had known of
the Special Assessment cash call it would have declined to participate because there
was no assurance that the rework would be successful in increasing production to
recoup the Special Assessment amount and extend the life of the wells. In addition,
the Company no longer is obligated to pay the plug and abandonment costs for these
wells.
As a result of the forfeiture the Company wrote-off the book value of the wells,
asset retirement obligations, receivables and payables which resulted in a loss of
$16,089 in the first quarter of 2011.
9. SALE OF OFFICE FURNITURE AND FIXTURES:
The Company sold its furniture and fixtures to a third-party in the current quarter
for $2,220 and wrote-off the fully depreciated value of the related assets.
10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
The Companys operating lease agreement for rent of its office space in Dallas, Texas
was extended for thirty-nine months through May 31, 2014. Rent expense for the six
months ended May 31, 2011 and May 31, 2010 is $29,469 and $34,837, respectively.
Trio Consulting & Management and Merrit Operating are the bonded operators for the
Companys former Denton and Wise County, Texas wells and is responsible for
compliance with the laws and regulations relating to the protection of the
environment. While it is not possible to quantify with certainty the potential impact
of actions regarding environmental matters, particularly any future remediation and
other compliance efforts, in the opinion of management, compliance with the present
environmental protection laws will not have a material adverse affect on the
financial condition, competitive position or capital expenditures of TBX Resources.
However, the Companys cost to comply with increasingly stringent environmental
regulations may have an adverse effect on the Companys future earnings.
11. LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT:
On May 28, 2009 the Company, along with Grasslands I, L.P., intervened as third party
plaintiffs in a lawsuit originally captioned as Clay Bain, et. al. v. Earthwise
Energy, Inc. (EEI) which was filed in April 2009 in the 14th
Judicial District, Dallas County Texas, Cause No. 095253. Our petition requested that
we be given certain injunctive relief and be awarded unspecified damages for certain
alleged causes of action including, but not limited to, fraud, conversion and
violation of fiduciary duty against defendant Earthwise Energy, Inc. but also as
against two individuals, Jeffery C. Reynolds and Steven C. Howard who were added to
the lawsuit as third party defendants. Mr. Reynolds is a former member of our Board
of Directors who resigned in July 2008. The lawsuit was settled on February 11, 2010
wherein it is acknowledged that the Company is the rightful owner of certain
interests in the Wise and Denton County, Texas. Gulftex Operating received $97,909
(net of expenses) on behalf of the Company for the Johnson Nos. 1 and 2 gas wells in
Wise County, Texas covering the period March 1, 2008 through October 31, 2009. The
$97,909 received by Gulftex Operating was used to pay down a portion of its loans to
the Company. The Companys also received $13,973 (net of expenses) for its overrides
in nine gas wells in Denton County,
F-8
Table of Contents
Texas covering the period March 1, 2008 through October 31, 2009. It is
intended that these payments fully resolve all claims by the Company against the
defendants.
12. INCOME TAXES:
The Company computes income taxes using the asset and liability approach. The Company
currently has no issue that creates timing differences that would mandate deferred
tax expense. Due to the uncertainty as to the utilization of net operating loss
carryforwards, an evaluation allowance has been made to the extent of any tax benefit
that net operating losses may generate. No provision for income taxes has been
recorded for the six months ended May 31, 2011 and May 31, 2010 due to the Companys
net operating losses.
13. COURT ORDERED RESTITUTION TO COMPANY BY FORMER EMPLOYEE:
On May 26, 2000 a former employee was sentenced to three years probation for forging
Company checks. As part of the sentencing the former employee is required to make
restitution to the Company in the amount of $152,915. Because of the uncertainty of
collecting the amount owed, the Company has not recorded a receivable but instead is
recording income as payments are made by the U.S. District Court of Dallas, Texas.
The Company has not received any payments in the current fiscal year. The Company
received $94,064 during the six months ended May 31, 2010. The balance outstanding as
of May 31, 2011 is approximately $51,000.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 to the audited
financial statements included on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2010 as
filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Management believes
that the application of these policies on a consistent basis enables the Company to
provide useful and reliable financial information about our operating results and
financial condition.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may
differ from those estimates.
OVERVIEW
Going Concern and Liquidity Problems
Our auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their audit opinion with
respect to our consolidated financial statements at November 30, 2010. The paragraph
states that our recurring losses from operations and resulting continued dependence
on access to external financing raise substantial doubts about our ability to
continue as a going concern. Furthermore, the factors leading to and the existence of
the explanatory paragraph may adversely affect our relationship with customers and
suppliers and have an adverse effect on our ability to obtain financing.
Our company has experienced operating losses over the past several years. We do
not have sufficient working capital to sustain our operations. We have been unable to
generate sufficient revenues to sustain our operations. If no additional funds are
received, we will be forced to rely on existing oil and gas revenue and upon
additional funds which may or may not be loaned by an affiliate to preserve the
integrity of the corporate entity. No formal commitments or arrangements currently
exist with the affiliate to advance or loan funds to the Company. In the event we are
unable to acquire sufficient funds, the Companys ongoing operations will be
negatively impacted and we may not be able to continue as a going concern and we may
have to curtail or terminate our operations and liquidate our business.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the second quarter ended May 31, 2011 we reported a net loss of $20,009 as
compared to net income of $72,230 for the same quarter last year. For the six months
ended May 31, 2011, we reported a net loss of $71,754 as compared to net income of
$23,990 for the same period last year. The components of these results are explained
below.
Revenue- Oil and gas revenue for the three months ended May 31, 2011 was $931, a
decrease of 93.2%, as compared to $13,741 for the three months ended May 31, 2010.
Oil and gas revenue for the six months ended May 31, 2011 was $2,421, a decreased of
93.2%, as compared to $36,109 for the six months ended May 31, 2010. The decrease in
revenue for the quarter and year-to-date is primarily attributable to the forfeiture
of the Johnson #1-H and Johnson a#2-H Joint Ventures.
Expenses- The components of our expenses for the three and six months ended May 31,
2011 and 2010 are as follows:

Lease operating expenses decreased $7,619 for the quarter ended May 31, 2011
and decreased $15,397 for the six months ended May 31, 2011 over the same periods
last year. The decrease in for the quarter and year-to-date is primarily attributable
to the forfeiture of the Johnson #1-H and Johnson a#2-H Joint Ventures.
General and administrative expenses increased $4,683 for the three months ended May
31, 2011 as compared to the same period last year. The increase in general and
administrative expenses is attributable to rent of $4,509 and expenses in all other
categories totaling $2,301, offset by lower G&A cost allocations of $11,493. For the
six months ended May 31, 2011, general and administrative expenses decreased $24,951
as compared to the same period last year. The decrease in general and administrative
expenses is attributable to salaries and wages of $44,815 and expenses in all other
categories totaling $1,710, offset by lower G&A cost allocations of $21,574.
Depreciation and depletion expense totaled $0 for the three months ended May 31, 2011
and $2,282 for the three months ended May 31, 2010. Depreciation and depletion
expense totaled $0 for the six months ended May 31, 2011 and $5,019 for the six
months ended May 31, 2010. Accretion expense totaled $0 for the three months ended
May 31, 2011 and $255 for the three months ended May 31, 2010. Accretion expense
totaled $0 for the six months ended May 31, 2011 and $510 for the six months ended
May 31, 2010. The decrease in depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion
expense is attributable to the write-off of the Johnson #1-H and Johnson and #2-H
Joint Ventures.
The Company forfeited its interest in Johnson #1-H and Johnson and #2-H Joint
Ventures and wrote -off the book value of the wells, asset retirement obligations,
receivables and payables which resulted in a loss of $16,089.
The Company sold its furniture and fixtures in the current quarter for $2,220 and
wrote-off the fully depreciated value of the related assets.
Other income for the three and six months ended May 31, 2010 consists of a partial
recovery of losses sustained when a former employee forged Company checks for
personal use. On May 26, 2000 the former employee was sentenced to three years
probation. As part of the sentencing the former employee is required to make
restitution to the Company.
We have not recorded any income taxes for the six months ended May 31, 2011 and
2010 because of our accumulated losses. Also, since there is continued uncertainty as
to the realization of a tax asset, we have not recorded any tax benefit.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company had a cash balance of $443 as of May 31, 2011. Our current ratio at May 31, 2011 was
.009:1 As of May 31, 2011 our stockholders deficit was $73,996. Our cash used for
operations totaled $41,703 for the six months ended May 31, 2011 while cash provided
by operations totaled $104,794 for the same period last year. This represents a
decrease of $146,497 in cash provided by operating activities. There were no
investment activities for the six months ended May 31, 2011 and 2010. Advances from
Gulftex totaled $41,481 during the six months ended May 31, 2011 while advances
decreased $108,360 during the six months ended May 31, 2010.

PLAN OF OPERATION FOR THE FUTURE
TBX Resources, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Texas in March 1995. In
the past we have primarily focused our business efforts on acquiring oil and gas
production properties and leases. We did this because we believed that the major oil
companies were leaving the US domestic oil and gas market due to domestic oil and gas
exploration properties being significantly depleted. However this trend has changed
and major oil companies are again acquiring domestic properties primarily in fields
where natural gas is prevalent. This has increased the competition and prices for oil
properties and management believes, due to our current financial condition, that we
will not be able to compete for and purchase oil and gas properties as effectively as
we have in the past. In response to this trend management has recently initiated
changes to the Companys business plan. Currently, our primary focus is to secure
additional capital through business alliances with third parties or other debt/equity
financing arrangements to acquire companies and assets which will allow the company
to operate in the oil field services industry with an emphasis on acquiring companies
involved in salt water and drilling fluid disposal. Secondarily we will continue to
seek out and acquire producing oil and gas leases and wells. At this time we have no
specific acquisition targets identified but we are actively engaged generally in such
a search.
We have explored and will continue to explore all avenues possible to raise the
funds required. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to raise
sufficient funds to execute our plans or that if successful in securing the funds our
actual financial results will improve.
Our ability to acquire additional properties or equipment is strictly contingent upon
our ability to locate adequate financing or equity to pay for these additional
properties or equipment. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain the
opportunity to buy properties or equipment that are suitable for our investment or
that we may be able to obtain financing or equity to pay for the costs of these
additional properties or equipment at terms that are acceptable to us.. Additionally,
if economic conditions justify the same, we may hire additional employees although we
do not currently have any definite plans to make additional hires. However, in the
event, we are successful in making any acquisitions, it is likely that existing
employees currently employed with the acquisition(s).
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management evaluated, with the participation of Tim Burroughs our Chief Executive
Officer (CEO)/Chief Financial Officer (CFO), the effectiveness of the design and
operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange
Act) as of the end of the quarter covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that, as of May 31, 2011 our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information we
are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported. Management is currently looking for a
professional accounting person to become part of its management team in an effort to
provide not only complete but timely reports to the Securities and Exchange
Commission as required by its rules and forms.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in the Companys 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 fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys
internal control over financial reporting. As a result, no corrective actions were
required or undertaken.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. The Companys management, including the
CEO/CFO, does not expect that its Disclosure Controls or its Internal Controls will
prevent all errors 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
6
Table of Contents
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 the 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; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system,
misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
