Preliminary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.

 

Certain matters discussed in this report contain forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements.

 

These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, capital expenditures, liquidity, capital resources and competition and may be indicated by words or phrases such as ”anticipate”, ”estimate”, ”plans”, ”projects”, ”continuing”, ”ongoing”, ”expects”, ”management believes”, ”the Company believes”, ”the Company intends” and similar words or phrases. The following factors and others discussed in the Company’s periodic reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission are among the principal factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements: freight demand for petroleum products including recessionary and terrorist impacts on travel in the Company’s markets; levels of construction activity in the markets served by our mining properties; fuel costs and the Company’s ability to recover fuel surcharges; accident severity and frequency; risk insurance markets; driver availability and cost; the impact of future regulations regarding the transportation industry; availability and terms of financing; competition in our markets; interest rates, inflation and general economic conditions; demand for flexible warehouse/office facilities in the Baltimore-Washington-Northern Virginia area; and ability to obtain zoning and entitlements necessary for property development. However, this list is not a complete statement of all potential risks or uncertainties.

 

These forward-looking statements are made as of the date hereof based on management’s current expectations, and the Company does not undertake an obligation to update such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Additional information regarding these and other risk factors may be found in the Company’s other filings made from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

PATRIOT TRANSPORTATION HOLDING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2013

(Unaudited)

(1) Basis of Presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”). Investment in the 50% owned Brooksville Joint Venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. These statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (primarily consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods have been included. Operating results for the six months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2013. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and the information included under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012.

 

(2) Stock Split. On December 1, 2010, the Board of Directors declared a 3-for-1 stock split of the Company’s common stock in the form of a stock dividend. The record date for the split was January 3, 2011 and the new shares were issued on January 17, 2011. The total authorized shares remained 25 million and par value of common stock remained unchanged at $.10 per share. All share and per share information presented has been adjusted to reflect this stock split.

 

(3) Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In February 2013, accounting guidance was issued to update the presentation of reclassifications from comprehensive income to net income in consolidated financial statements. Under this new guidance, an entity is required to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income either by the respective line items of net income or by cross-reference to other required disclosures. The new guidance does not change the requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012 and is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

(4) Business Segments. The Company operates in three reportable business segments. The Company’s operations are substantially in the Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic states. The transportation segment hauls petroleum and other liquids and dry bulk commodities by tank trailers. The Company’s real estate operations consist of two reportable segments. The Mining royalty land segment owns real estate including construction aggregate royalty sites and parcels held for

Table of Contents

investment. The Developed property rentals segment acquires, constructs, and leases office/warehouse buildings primarily in the Baltimore/Northern Virginia/Washington area, and holds real estate for future development or related to its developments.

 

The Company’s transportation and real estate groups operate independently and have minimal shared overhead except for corporate expenses. Corporate expenses are allocated in fixed quarterly amounts based upon budgeted and estimated proportionate cost by segment. Unallocated corporate expenses primarily include stock compensation and corporate aircraft expenses.

 

Operating results and certain other financial data for the Company’s business segments are as follows (in thousands):

On December 21, 2012, the Company entered into a modified credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement modifies the Company's prior Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement with Wachovia Bank, National Association ("Wachovia"), Bank of America, N.A., SunTrust Bank, and Compass Bank dated as of November 10, 2004. The Credit Agreement is for a 5 year term with a maximum facility amount of $55 million. The Credit Agreement provides a revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) with a maximum facility amount of $40 million, with a $20 million sublimit for standby letters of credit, and a term loan facility of $15 million. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. is the sole lender under the modified Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement bears interest at a rate of 1.00% over the selected LIBOR, which may change quarterly based on the Company’s ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated Total Capital, as defined. A commitment fee of 0.15% per annum is payable quarterly on the unused portion of the Revolver portion of the credit agreement. The commitment fee may also change quarterly based upon the ratio described above. The Credit Agreement contains certain conditions, affirmative financial covenants and negative covenants including limitations on paying cash dividends. Letters of credit in the amount of $9,009,000 were issued under the Revolver. As of March 31, 2013, $45,991,000 was available for borrowing and $60,231,000 of consolidated retained earnings would be available for payment of dividends. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of

March 31, 2013.

 

The fair values of the Company’s mortgage notes payable were estimated based on current rates available to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities. At March 31, 2013, the carrying amount and fair value of such other long-term debt was $59,794,000 and $64,389,000, respectively.

 

(6) Earnings per share. The following details the computations of the basic and diluted earnings per common share (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):

 Diluted $ 0.24       0.17       0.56       0.40  

 

For the three and six months ended March 31, 2013, 165,740 and 173,240 shares attributable to outstanding stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2012, 164,560 and 172,060 shares attributable to outstanding stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

 

(7) Stock-Based Compensation Plans. As more fully described in Note 7 to the Company’s notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012, the Company’s stock-based compensation plan permits the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, and stock awards. The number of common shares available for future issuance was 537,880 at March 31, 2013.

 

The Company recorded the following stock compensation expense in its

 six months ended                              
 March 31, 2013   20,612                     $ 199  

 

The aggregate intrinsic value of exercisable in-the-money options was $3,326,000 and the aggregate intrinsic value of all outstanding in-the-money options was $3,575,000 based on the market closing price of $27.82 on March 28, 2013 less exercise prices. Gains of $1,448,000 were realized by option holders during the six months ended March 31, 2013. The realized tax benefit from options exercised for the six months ended March 31, 2013 was $560,000. Total compensation cost of options granted but not yet vested as of March 31, 2013 was $867,000, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.6 years.

 

(8) Contingent liabilities. Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are involved in litigation on a number of matters and are subject to certain claims which arise in the normal course of business. The Company has retained certain self-insurance risks with respect to losses for third party liability and property damage. There is a reasonable possibility that the Company’s estimate of vehicle and workers’ compensation liability for the transportation segment may be understated or overstated but the possible range can not be estimated. The liability at any point in time depends upon the relative ages and amounts of the individual open claims. In the opinion of management, none of these matters are expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

(9) Concentrations. The transportation segment primarily serves customers in the petroleum industry in the Southeastern U.S. Significant economic disruption or downturn in this geographic region or these industries could have an adverse effect on our financial statements.

 

During the first six months of fiscal 2013, the transportation segment’s ten largest customers accounted for approximately 54.9% of the transportation segment’s revenue. One of these customers accounted for 20.0% of the transportation segment’s revenue. The loss of any one of these customers would have an adverse effect on the Company’s revenues and income. Accounts receivable from the transportation segment’s ten largest customers was $3,197,000 and $2,988,000 at March 31, 2013 and September 30, 2012 respectively.

 

The mining royalty land segment has one lessee that accounted for 73.4% of the segment’s revenues and $149,000 of accounts receivable at March 31, 2013. The loss of this customer would have an adverse effect on the segment.

 

The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality institutions. At times, such amounts may exceed FDIC limits.

 

(10) Fair Value Measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Level 1 means the use of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 means the use of values that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 means the use of inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

 

As of March 31, 2013 the Company had no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis. The fair value of all other financial instruments with the exception of mortgage notes (see Note 5) approximates the carrying value due to the short-term nature of such instruments.

 

(11) Discontinued operations. In August 2009, the Company sold its flatbed trucking company, SunBelt Transport, Inc. ("SunBelt"). SunBelt has been accounted for as discontinued operations in accordance with ASC Topic 205-20 Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations. All periods presented have been restated accordingly.

(12) Real Estate Held for Sale. In September 2012 the Company received a non-binding letter of intent to sell phase 1 of the Windlass Run Residential property. The property was under contract and expected to close during fiscal 2013 for $7.9 million but the contract expired during the due diligence period. The Company executed a similar contract on April 17, 2013 with another buyer with a due diligence period expiring on June 15, 2013. The contract contemplates the sale of phase 1 of the property in the quarter ending September 30, 2013 for $8.0 million. The book value of the property at March 31, 2013 was $2,890,000.

 

On February 15, 2012, the Company signed an agreement to sell 15.18 acres of land at Patriot Business Park for a purchase price of $4,774,577 subject to an escrow for the Company’s obligations related to future site and offsite development.

(13) Unusual or Infrequent Items Impacting Quarterly Results. Income from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 included a gain on the sale of the developed property rentals Commonwealth property in Jacksonville, Florida, of $1,116,000 before income taxes. The book value of the property was $723,000.

 

Income from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 included a gain on termination of sale contract in the amount of $1,039,000 before income taxes for the receipt of non-refundable deposits related to the termination of an agreement to sell the Company’s Windlass Run Residential property.

 

Accrued insurance liabilities decreased $1,382,000 during the six months ending March 31, 2013 due to payments to our new insurer under a captive agreement along with payment in settlement of three

unusually large prior year liability and health claims. Payments under the captive agreement are for the fiscal 2013 year-to-date loss fund as estimated in advance using actuarial methodology. The captive agreement provides that we will share in the underwriting results, good or bad, within a $250,000 per occurrence layer of loss through retrospective premium adjustments.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Overview – Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. (the Company) is a holding company engaged in the transportation and real estate businesses.

 

The Company’s transportation business, Florida Rock & Tank Lines, Inc. is engaged in hauling primarily petroleum and other liquids and dry bulk commodities in tank trailers.

 

The Company’s real estate operations consist of two reportable segments. The Mining royalty land segment owns real estate including construction aggregate royalty sites and parcels held for investment. The Developed property rentals segment acquires, constructs, leases, operates and manages office/warehouse buildings primarily in the Baltimore/Northern Virginia/Washington area, and holds real estate for future development or related to its developments. Substantially all of the real estate operations are conducted within the Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic United States.

 

The Company’s operations are influenced by a number of external and internal factors. External factors include levels of economic and industrial activity in the United States and the Southeast, driver availability and cost, regulations regarding driver qualifications and hours of service, petroleum product usage in the Southeast which is driven in part by tourism and commercial aviation, fuel costs, construction activity, aggregates sales by lessees from the Company’s mining properties, interest rates, market conditions and attendant prices for casualty insurance, demand for commercial warehouse space in the Baltimore-Washington-Northern Virginia area, and ability to obtain zoning and entitlements necessary for property development. Internal factors include revenue mix, capacity utilization, auto and workers’ compensation accident frequencies and severity, other operating factors, administrative costs, group health claims experience, and construction costs of new projects. There is a reasonable possibility that the Company’s estimate of vehicle and workers’ compensation liability for the transportation group may be understated or overstated but the possible range can not be estimated. The liability at any point in time depends upon the relative ages and amounts of the individual open claims. Financial results of the Company for any individual quarter are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year.

 

 

Comparative Results of Operations for the Three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012

 

Consolidated Results Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was $2,271,000 compared to $1,643,000 for the same period last year. Diluted earnings per common share for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 were $.24 compared to $.17 for the same quarter last year.

15
Table of Contents

Transportation segment results were higher due to incremental profits on increased revenue mostly offset by higher accident cost and health insurance claims. The mining royalty land segment’s results were higher due to new property royalties offset by lower timber sales. The Developed property rentals segment’s results were higher due to higher occupancy and lower professional fees.

Transportation segment revenues were $27,176,000 in the second quarter of 2013, an increase of $1,727,000 over the same quarter last year. Revenue miles in the current quarter were up 5.4% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2012 due to business growth and a longer average haul length. Revenue per mile increased 1.4% over the same quarter last year due to rate increases and higher fuel surcharges partially offset by a longer average haul length. Fuel surcharge revenue decreased $77,000 due to changes to certain customer rates to incorporate fuel surcharges into base rates. The average price paid per gallon of diesel fuel decreased by $.01 over the same quarter in fiscal 2012. There is a time lag between changes in fuel prices and surcharges and often fuel costs change more rapidly than the market indexes used to determine fuel surcharges. Excluding fuel surcharges, revenue per mile increased 3.3% over the same quarter last year.

 

The Transportation segment’s cost of operations was $25,255,000 in the second quarter of 2013, an increase of $1,596,000 over the same quarter last year. The Transportation segment’s cost of operations in the second quarter of 2013 as a percentage of revenue was 93% compared to 93% in the second quarter of 2012. Compensation and benefits increased $453,000 or 4.9% compared to the same quarter last year primarily due to a driver pay increase and the increase in miles driven. Fuel cost increased by $254,000 due to the increase in miles

driven. Insurance and losses increased $592,000 compared to the same quarter last year primarily due to higher accident and health insurance claims. Depreciation expense increased $104,000 due to the higher cost of newer equipment. Other expense increased $203,000 due to increased driver travel and increased miles driven. Sales, general and administrative costs decreased $60,000 or 2.9% compared to the same quarter last year due to lower staffing and professional fees offset partially by increased bonus compensation. Allocated corporate expenses increased $11,000. Gains on equipment sales decreased $39,000 due to decreased sales of tractors.

Property operating expenses increased $12,000 due to higher occupancy and the newly completed building mostly offset by lower professional fees. Depreciation and amortization increased $48,000 primarily due to the newly completed build to suit building. Management Company indirect expenses (excluding internal allocations for lease related property management and construction fees) decreased $101,000 due to lower professional fees and salaries.

Comparative Results of Operations for the Six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012

 

Consolidated Results Net income for the first six months of fiscal 2013 was $5,394,000 compared to $3,767,000 for the same period last year. Diluted earnings per common share for the first six months of fiscal 2013 were $.56 compared to $.40 for the same quarter last year.

Transportation segment revenues were $53,815,000 in the first six months of 2013, an increase of $3,525,000 over the same period last year. Revenue miles in the first six months of fiscal 2013 were up 4.4% compared to the first six months of fiscal 2012 due to business growth and a slightly longer average haul length. Revenue per mile increased 2.7% over the same period last year due to rate increases and higher fuel surcharges. Fuel surcharge revenue increased $46,000 due to higher fuel costs partially offset by changes to certain customer rates to incorporate fuel surcharges into base rates. The average price paid per gallon of diesel fuel increased by $.08 or 2.2% over the same period in fiscal 2012. There is a time lag between changes in fuel prices and surcharges and often fuel costs change more rapidly than the market indexes used to determine fuel surcharges. Excluding fuel surcharges, revenue per mile increased 3.8% over the same period last year.

 

The Transportation segment’s cost of operations was $50,097,000 in the first six months of 2013, an increase of $3,040,000 over the same period last year. The Transportation segment’s cost of operations in the first six months of 2013 as a percentage of revenue was 93% compared to 94% in the first six months of 2012. Compensation and benefits increased $1,105,000 or 6.1% compared to the same period last year primarily due to a driver pay increase and the increase in miles driven. Fuel cost increased by $630,000 due to higher cost per gallon and the increase in miles driven. Insurance and losses increased $485,000 compared to the same period last year primarily due to higher accident claims. Depreciation expense increased $236,000 due to more trucks in service. Other expense increased $440,000 due to higher vehicle repair costs, increased site maintenance, increased tire prices and increased miles driven. Sales, general and administrative costs increased $240,000 or 5.9% compared to the same period last year

due to severance costs and increased bonus compensation. Allocated corporate expenses increased $87,000. Gains on equipment sales increased $183,000 due to increased sales of tractors.

The mining royalty land segment’s cost of operations was $626,000 in the first six months of 2013, an increase of $10,000 over the same period last year due primarily to the $25,000 increase in allocated corporate expenses offset by an $11,000 decrease in depreciation and depletion expenses.

period last year due to higher capitalized interest and declining mortgage principal balance.

Table of Contents

Cash flows from operating activities for the first six months of fiscal 2013 were $939,000 higher than the same period last year primarily due to higher operating profits partially offset by a decrease in accrued insurance liabilities. Accrued insurance liabilities decreased due to payments to our new insurer under a captive agreement along with payment in settlement of three unusually large prior year liability and health claims. Payments under the captive agreement are for the fiscal 2013 year-to-date loss fund as estimated in advance using actuarial methodology. The captive agreement provides that we will share in the underwriting results, good or bad, within a $250,000 per occurrence layer of loss through retrospective premium adjustments.

 

Cash flows used in investing activities for the first six months of fiscal 2013 were $2,384,000 higher reflecting the increased purchase of transportation equipment for growth and replacement and real estate development.

 

Cash flows used in financing activities for the first six months of fiscal 2013 were $248,000 lower than the same period last year due to higher stock option exercises.

 

On December 21, 2012, the Company entered into a modified credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement modifies the Company's prior Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement with Wachovia Bank, National Association ("Wachovia"), Bank of America, N.A., SunTrust Bank, and Compass Bank dated as of November 10, 2004. The Credit Agreement is for a 5 year term with a maximum facility amount of $55 million. The Credit Agreement provides a revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) with a maximum facility amount of $40 million, with a $20 million sublimit for standby letters of credit, and a term loan facility of $15 million. The Credit Agreement contains certain conditions, affirmative financial covenants and negative covenants including limitations on paying cash dividends. Letters of credit in the amount of $9,009,000 were issued under the Revolver.

These were issued for insurance retentions and to guarantee certain obligations to state agencies related to real estate development. The Company issued replacement letters of credit through the Revolver to reduce fees.

Developed property rentals occupancy has increased from 86.0% to 88.5% over March 31, 2012 as the market for new tenants has improved and traffic for vacant space has increased. Occupancy at March 31, 2013 and 2012 included 25,660 square feet or .9% and 104,226 square feet or 3.6% respectively for temporary storage under a less than full market lease rate. The Company resumed development of Patriot Business Park in April 2012 due to two developments. On February 15, 2012, the Company signed an agreement to sell 15.18 acres of land at the site for a purchase price of $4,774,577 which would result in a profit on the sale if completed. The Company also entered into a build to suit lease signed April 2, 2012, for a 117,600 square foot building which was completed and occupied during the quarter ending March 31, 2013.

 

Windlass Run Residential (previously Bird River), located in southeastern Baltimore County, Maryland, is a 121 acre tract of land adjacent to our Windlass Run Business Park. In September 2012, the Company received a non-binding letter of intent to sell the property for $18.8 million in two phases. The letter of intent to sell the property was converted into 2 executed contracts that expired during the due diligence period. The Company executed two contracts on April 17, 2013 with another buyer with a due diligence period expiring on June 15, 2013. The contracts contemplate the sale of phase 1 of the property in the quarter ending September 30, 2013 for $8.0 million and the balance for $11.0 million approximately 18 months later.

 

On April 22, 2013 the Company signed an agreement to sell 5.38 acres of land at Hollander 95 Business Park for a purchase price of $1,520,000 subject to the Company’s obligations related to future site and offsite development.

Table of Contents

development known as RiverFront on the Anacostia in Washington, D.C. The purpose of the Joint Venture is to develop, own, lease and ultimately sell an approximately 300,000 square foot residential apartment building (including approximately 18,000 square feet of retail) on a portion of the roughly 5.82 acre site. The Contribution Agreement provides that the formation of the Joint Venture will be subject to customary conditions precedent, including approval of a planned unit development, zoning modification and extension of the existing PUD to provide for approximately 300,000 square feet of residential development (including approximately 18,000 square feet of retail) on the Property in lieu of 250,000 square feet of commercial office space (including some retail) as currently approved for phase 1 of the master development. On January 14, 2013, the Company received “Final Action” on the modification and extension to the previously approved planned unit development from the District of Columbia Zoning Commission, the order was recorded and became effective on April 5, 2013 and the appeal period on this action will expire May 13, 2013. The Company anticipates completion of a formal joint venture agreement wherein the Company will contribute the land comprising phase I to the joint venture in return for an equity interest in the joint venture to be determined based on leverage of the entity, additional cash contributions by the Company, and negotiations with potential third partners. MRP will contribute capital of $4,500,000 to the joint venture. MRP will raise any additional equity capital (currently estimated to be $21,000,000, subject to revision based on various factors) and obtain a nonrecourse loan for the balance of the estimated construction and lease up costs. At this point the Company anticipates commencement of construction of Phase I in early 2014 with lease up scheduled between late 2015 and all of 2016.

 

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

 

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates. For its cash and cash equivalents, a change in interest rates affects the amount of interest income that can be earned. For its debt instruments with variable interest rates, changes in interest rates affect the amount of interest expense incurred. The Company prepared a sensitivity analysis of its cash and cash equivalents to determine the impact of hypothetical changes in interest rates on the Company's results of operations and cash flows. The interest-rate analysis assumed a 50 basis point adverse change in interest rates on all cash and cash equivalents. However, the interest-rate analysis did not consider the effects of the reduced level of economic activity that could exist in such an environment. Based on this analysis, management has concluded that a 50 basis point adverse move in interest rates on the Company's cash and cash equivalents would have an immaterial impact on the Company's results of operations and cash flows.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), and Chief Accounting Officer (“CAO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

The Company also maintains a system of internal accounting controls over financial reporting that are designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company's management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.

 

All control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

 

As of March 31, 2013, the Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the CEO, CFO and CAO, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s CEO, CFO and CAO concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them in a timely manner to material information required to be included in periodic SEC filings.

 

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
