Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

1. OPERATIONS

 

LRAD® Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), is engaged in the design, development and commercialization of directed and omnidirectional sound technologies and products. The Company sells its proprietary sound reproduction technologies and products in markets around the world.

 

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

General

 

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In our opinion, the accompanying statements reflect adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for those periods indicated, and contain adequate disclosure to make the information presented not misleading. Adjustments included herein are of a normal, recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed in the footnotes. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended September 30, 2015 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on December 3, 2015. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full year.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The Company has a currently inactive wholly owned subsidiary, LRAD International Corporation, which the Company formed to conduct international marketing, sales and distribution activities. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of this subsidiary after elimination of intercompany transactions and accounts.

 

Reclassifications

 

Where necessary, the prior year’s information has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

 

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes by eliminating the need for entities to separate deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts in a classified statement of financial position. The Company adopted this pronouncement early effective October 1, 2015 as it began reporting a deferred tax asset in the prior quarter and wanted to provide consistent reporting going forward. This change had no effect on the Company’s financial statements..

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. The guidance requires an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation, rather than the lower of cost or market in the previous guidance. This amendment applies to inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out (FIFO). This amendment is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those years. A reporting entity should apply the amendments prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance, if any, on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation: Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide that a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. The guidance requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. The guidance will be effective for the Company in the fiscal quarter beginning January 1, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance, if any, on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles when it becomes effective. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of the standard by an additional year; however, it provided companies the option to adopt one year earlier, commensurate with the original effective date. Accordingly, the standard will be effective for the Company in the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2018, with an option to adopt the standard for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating this standard and has not yet selected a transition method or the effective date on which it plans to adopt the standard, nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its financial statements and related disclosures.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash equivalents, short and long-term marketable securities, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received in an asset sale or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between unaffiliated market participants. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized based on whether or not the inputs are observable in the market and the degree that the inputs are observable. The categorization of financial instruments within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is prioritized into three levels (with Level 3 being the lowest) defined as follows:

 

Level 1: Inputs are based on quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.

 

Level 2: Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and/or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active near the measurement date.

 

Level 3: Inputs include management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the instrument’s valuation.

 

The fair value of the Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities was determined based on Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. The Company does not have any marketable securities in the Level 3 category. The Company believes that the recorded values of its other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations.

The following table presents the Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities’ costs, gross unrealized gains and losses, and fair value by major security type recorded as cash and cash equivalents or short-term or long-term marketable securities as of December 31, 2015.

Accrued contract costs

8. INCOME TAXES

 

At December 31, 2015, the Company had federal net operating losses (“NOLs”) and related state NOLs. The Company released $8,339,000 of its valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets in the quarter ended September 30, 2015 as it determined that it was more likely than not that those assets would be realized. The Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance of $12,175,000 as the Company believes that the negative evidence that it will be able to recover these net deferred tax assets outweighs the positive evidence.

 

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $309,595 and $0, reflecting effective tax rates of 44.9% and 0.0% for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate in the three months ended December 31, 2015, compared to the same period in the prior year, is primarily due to the partial release of our valuation allowance in the prior quarter, resulting in current year tax benefit.

 

ASC 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, requires the Company to recognize in its consolidated financial statements uncertainties in tax positions taken that may not be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. If interest or penalties are assessed, the Company would recognize these charges as income tax expense. The Company has not recorded any income tax expense or benefit for uncertain tax positions.

 

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Litigation

 

The Company may at times be involved in litigation in the ordinary course of business. The Company will, from time to time, when appropriate in management’s estimation, record adequate reserves in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for pending litigation. Currently, there are no pending material legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or to which any of its property is subject.

 

Bonus Plan

 

The Company has an incentive bonus plan for fiscal year 2016 designed to motivate its employees to achieve the Company’s financial objectives. All of the Company’s employees are entitled to participate in the incentive plan. Target Bonus Amounts (“Target”) vary based on a percentage of the employee’s base salary which range from 10% to 50% of base salary and a bonus payment may be made at three levels, including at 50% of Target, at 100% of Target and at 200% of Target, depending upon the achievement by the Company of specified earnings per share goals. Included in such calculation is the cost of the incentive plan. For purposes of the earnings per share calculation, the number of shares outstanding will be held constant as of October 1, 2015. During the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company accrued $0 and $170,279, respectively, for bonuses and related payroll tax expenses in connection with the bonus plans.

Stock Option Plans

 

At December 31, 2015, the Company had two equity incentive plans. The 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (“2005 Equity Plan”) was terminated with respect to new grants in March 2015, but remains in effect for grants issued prior to that time. The 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (“2015 Equity Plan”) was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on January 19, 2015 and by the Company’s stockholders on March 18, 2015. The 2015 Equity Plan authorizes for issuance as stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and performance awards, an aggregate of 5,000,000 new shares of common stock to employees, directors, advisors or consultants. At December 31, 2015, there were options outstanding covering 2,547,002 and 842,500 shares of common stock under the 2005 Equity Plan and 2015 Equity Plan, respectively.

Volatility

    51.0% - 52.0%       53.0% - 62.0%

Dividend yield

    2.2% - 2.7%         0.0%    

Expected life in years

    3.8 - 4.6       3.8 - 4.6  

 

The Company declared its first dividend in the quarter ended December 31, 2015, so dividend yield assumptions were added to the valuation of options granted based on the expected annual yield. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the period commensurate with the expected life of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on rates published by the Federal Reserve Board. The expected life is based on observed and expected time to post-vesting exercise. The expected forfeiture rate is based on past experience and employee retention data. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of the grant and revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates or if the Company updates its estimated forfeiture rate. Such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period in which the estimate is changed.

Since the Company has an NOL carryforward as of December 31, 2015, no excess tax benefit for the tax deductions related to share-based awards was recognized for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. As of December 31, 2015, there was approximately $900,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based employee compensation arrangements. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years.

Overview

 

Our Company develops and delivers highly intelligible, directed Long Range Acoustic Devices® (“LRAD®”) that beam, focus and control sound over short and long distances. By placing sound only where needed, we not only enhance many typical speaker applications, but we offer novel sound applications that conventional speakers cannot achieve.

 

Our LRAD-X® product line offers a variety of directed sound products, which use focused acoustic output to clearly transmit critical information, instructions and warnings over long distances. The LRAD-X product line features clear voice intelligibility and meets the military’s stringent environmental requirements in a number of packages and form factors, from our hand held LRAD 100X to our LRAD 2000X unit, which communicates up to 5,500 meters. Through the use of powerful voice commands, prerecorded messages in multiple languages, and warning tones, our LRAD-X products are designed to create large safety zones while determining the intent and influencing the behavior of an intruder. We continue to expand our LRAD-X product line to provide a complete range of systems and accessories to meet a broad range of diverse applications including fixed and mobile military deployments, maritime security, critical infrastructure and perimeter security, commercial security, border and homeland security, law enforcement and emergency responder communications, asset protection and wildlife preservation and control. Our LRAD-X products have been competitively selected over other commercially available systems by the United States military and by several international militaries.

 

In 2012, we built on the success of our LRAD-X directional technology to launch our first omnidirectional product, the LRAD 360X. Unlike the existing siren based systems in the market, the LRAD 360X is designed with the same characteristics as our directed products - highly intelligible voice broadcasts and the ability to communicate and alert over long distances. Since the LRAD 360X product launch, we have developed our ONE VOICE® omnidirectional mass communication product line, which includes a mobile, fully-integrated, trailer-mounted mass communication system, and other enhancements to provide a more fully integrated solution for municipalities, military bases, airports, college/business campuses, etc. We expect that the ONE VOICE product line will allow us to expand our business opportunities into the large and growing worldwide emergency warning and mass notification market. Through increased focus and investment in worldwide sales and marketing activities, our LRAD-X and ONE VOICE products have pioneered a new worldwide market, selling into over 70 countries, for directional long-range acoustic hailing devices (“AHDs”) and advanced, omnidirectional mass notification systems.

 

Revenues in the first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2015, were $2.8 million, a decrease from $4.4 million in the first fiscal quarter of 2015. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to the timing of customer orders and delays in awarding contracts. We continue to experience delays in projects in both U.S. and international markets due to various reasons, but we are confident these orders are achievable. Based on the timing of budget cycles, as well as financial issues and military strife in certain areas of the world, there are often delays in awarding contracts, which result in uneven quarterly revenues. Demand for our products remains strong and we continue to build awareness and interest in our LRAD-X and ONE VOICE mass notification products throughout the world. During the quarter, we received an amendment to our U.S. Navy contract which allows the U.S Army to purchase units under this contract. The modification permits us to fulfill U.S. Army orders without going through a new request for proposal process. On a quarter over quarter basis, our revenues are expected to remain uneven. Gross profit decreased as a result of the lower revenues compared to the same quarter in the prior year. Operating expenses increased by 7.5% from $1.9 million to $2.0 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2015 primarily due to increased headcount and consulting fees, partially offset by a decrease in bonus accrual. We reported a net loss of $380,000 for the quarter, or ($.01) per share, compared to net income of $506,000, or $.01 per diluted share for the same quarter in the prior year.

Overall Business Outlook

 

Our product line-up continues to gain worldwide awareness and recognition through media exposure, trade show participations, product demonstrations and word of mouth as a result of positive responses and increased acceptance of our products. We believe we have a solid global brand, technology and product foundation with our LRAD-X directed product line, which we have expanded over the years to service new markets and customers for greater business growth.  We have launched a line of omnidirectional products targeted to meet the needs of the large and growing mass notification market. We believe that we have strong market opportunities for our directional and omnidirectional product offerings within the global government and military sector, as well as increased commercial applications as a result of continued threats to governments, commerce and law enforcement, and in wildlife preservation and control applications. We intend to continue expanding our international mass notification business, especially in the Middle East, Europe and Asia where there are greater market opportunities for our omnidirectional products. Our selling network has expanded through the addition of business development personnel as well as continuing to improve and increase our relationships with key integrators and sales representatives within the United States and in a number of worldwide locations. However, we may continue to face challenges in fiscal 2016 due to continuing economic and geopolitical conditions in some international regions. We anticipate continued uncertainty with U.S. Military spending due to ongoing defense budget delays and spending reductions. We continue to pursue large business opportunities, but it is difficult to anticipate how long it will take to close these opportunities, or if they will ever ultimately come to fruition. It is also difficult to determine whether our omnidirectional product will be accepted as a viable solution in the mass notification market, which includes a number of large, well-known competitors.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We have identified a number of accounting policies as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. These are described in our consolidated financial statements located in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2015. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed below and throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations when such policies affect our reported and expected financial results.

 

The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our accounting policies, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S., have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimates affect the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Revenues decreased in the current quarter compared to the prior year due to the timing of customer orders and delays in awarding contracts. We continue to experience delays in projects in both U.S. and international markets due to various reasons, but we are confident these orders are achievable. Demand for our products remains strong and we had shipments during the quarter for a wide variety of applications including energy security, law enforcement/military police, border/perimeter security, mass notification, U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, and military vehicles. We have a backlog of approximately $5.2 million scheduled to deliver during the current fiscal year ending September 30, 2016, including a $710,000 order received in December 2015 for a Latin American prison system. Correctional facilities are a growing application for our LRAD products. We also received an amendment to our U.S. Navy contract to allow the U.S Army to purchase units under this contract. The modification permits us to fulfill U.S. Army orders, where there is a strong interest for our products. The receipt of orders will often be uneven due to the timing of approvals or budgets. At December 31, 2015, we had aggregate deferred revenue of $249,631 for prepayments from customers in advance of product shipment.

 

Gross Profit

 

The decrease in gross profit in the quarter was primarily due to the decrease in revenue and the resulting lower absorption of our fixed overhead. Our product margin percentage on product shipped was comparable to the prior year.

 

Our products have varying gross margins, so product sales mix will materially affect gross profits. In addition, our margins vary based on the sales channels through which our products are sold in a given period. We continue to implement product updates and changes, including raw material and component changes that may impact product costs. With such product updates and changes we have limited warranty cost experience and estimated future warranty costs can impact our gross margins. We do not believe that historical gross profit margins should be relied upon as an indicator of future gross profit margins.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses 

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses included increases of $119,425 for salaries, benefits and consultants, primarily for business development and marketing, $16,665 for marketing and trade shows, $18,368 for bank fees, primarily due to heavy share repurchases in the quarter, and $5,515 other increases, partially offset by a $101,902 reduction for bonus accrual.

 

We incurred non-cash share-based compensation expenses allocated to selling, general and administrative expenses in the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 of $117,955 and $105,222, respectively.

 

We may expend additional resources on the marketing and selling of our products in future periods as we identify ways to optimize potential opportunities. Commission expenses will fluctuate based on the nature of our sales.

 

 
13

 

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Research and development expenses increased compared to the prior year primarily due to $76,543 for increased salaries and benefits, $42,304 for development and testing expenses and $11,983 for depreciation, partially offset by a $47,094 reduction for bonus accrual and $238 other expense.

 

Included in research and development expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $24,348 and $21,405 of non-cash share-based compensation costs, respectively.

 

Research and development costs vary period to period due to the timing of projects, the availability of funds for research and development and the timing and extent of the use of outside consulting, design and development firms. We continually improve our product offerings and we have further expanded our product line in 2015 and the beginning of 2016 with new products, customizations and enhancements. Based on current plans, we expect research and development costs to continue in the current fiscal year on a basis comparable to the prior year.

 

Net Income

 

The decrease in net income was primarily due to the decrease in revenues and the increase in operating expenses. In the quarter ended September 30, 2015, we reversed a portion of our valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset. In the quarter ended December 31, 2015, we recognized a tax benefit of $309,595. There was no tax provision reported in the quarter ended December 31, 2014.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2015 was $15,582,881, compared to $18,316,103 at September 30, 2015. During the three months ended December 31, 2015, the Company invested $623,604 of cash equivalents in short and long-term marketable securities and also used $1,643,120 for the repurchase of common stock. Other than cash and expected future cash flows from operating activities in subsequent periods, we have no unused sources of liquidity at this time.

 

Principal factors that could affect our liquidity include:

 

 

ability to meet sales projections;

 

 

government spending levels;

 

 

introduction of competing technologies;

 

 

product mix and effect on margins;

 

 

ability to reduce current inventory levels;

 

 

product acceptance in new markets; and

 

 

value of shares repurchased.

 

Principal factors that could affect our ability to obtain cash from external sources include:

 

 

volatility in the capital markets; and

 

 

market price and trading volume of our common stock.

 

Based on our current cash position, and assuming currently planned expenditures and level of operations, we believe we have sufficient capital to fund operations for the next twelve months. However, we operate in a rapidly evolving and unpredictable business environment that may change the timing or amount of expected future cash receipts and expenditures. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we may not be required to raise additional funds through the sale of equity or debt securities or from credit facilities. Additional capital, if needed, may not be available on satisfactory terms, or at all.

Operating Activities

 

Net loss of $380,073 for the three months ended December 31, 2015 was increased by $122,557 of non-cash items that include deferred income taxes, share-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, warranty provision and inventory obsolescence. Cash generated from operating activities reflected an increase in accrued and other liabilities of $290,702, a decrease in accounts receivable of $174,339 due to collections from a higher year-end balance, and decreases in prepaid expenses and other of $118,028 and prepaid expenses and other – noncurrent of $46,871. Cash used in operating activities included an increase in inventory of $294,426, a decrease in accounts payable of $226,055 and warranty settlements of $972. Net income of $505,634 for the three months ended December 31, 2014 was adjusted for $209,195 of non-cash items that include share-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, warranty provision and inventory obsolescence. Cash generated from operating activities reflected a decrease in accounts receivable of $1,796,831 due to collections from a high year-end balance, an increase and accounts payable of $105,786, and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other and prepaid expenses and other – noncurrent of $101,236. Cash used in operating activities included a decrease in accrued and other liabilities of $2,817,785, primarily for the payment of bonuses earned in fiscal 2014, increased inventories of $493,989 based on our current sales forecast, and $8,402 for warranty settlements.

 

We had accounts receivable of $1,941,984 at December 31, 2015, compared to $2,116,323 at September 30, 2015. The level of trade accounts receivable at December 31, 2015 represented approximately 63 days of revenues compared to 44 days of revenues at September 30, 2015. The increase in days is primarily due to the lower revenues. Terms with individual customers vary greatly. We typically require thirty-day terms from our customers if credit is approved. Our receivables can vary dramatically due to overall sales volume, quarterly variations in sales, timing of shipments to and receipts from large customers, payment terms, and the timing of contract payments.

 

At December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, our working capital was $23,897,167 and $25,601,714, respectively. The reduction in working capital was primarily due to use of $1,643,120 to repurchase common shares.

 

Investing Activities

 

In the three months ended December 31, 2015, we increased our holding of short and long-term marketable securities by $623,604. We did not purchase any securities in the same period in the three months ended December 31, 2014.

 

We also use cash in investing activities primarily for the purchase of tooling, computer equipment and software, and investment in new or existing patents. Cash used in investing activities for equipment and patents was $72,355 and $79,647 for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We anticipate some additional expenditure for equipment and patents during the balance of fiscal year 2016.

 

Financing Activities

 

In the three months ended December 31, 2015, we used $1,643,120 for the repurchase of common stock. We did not repurchase any shares in the three months ended December 31, 2014.

 

On December 3, 2015, we announced a cash dividend of $0.01 per share on our common stock, payable on January 29, 2016 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on January 15, 2016. We recorded a dividend payable in the amount of $318,673 during the three months ended December 31, 2015, compared to $0 in the three months ended December 31, 2014.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

The Company’s interest income is sensitive to fluctuations in the general level of U.S. interest rates. Changes in U.S. interest rates affect the interest earned on the Company’s cash. The Company’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates is minimal as a result of maintaining cash in savings accounts. The Company currently does not have any debt that could be subject to interest fluctuation or market risk.

 

Foreign Currency Risk

 

We consider our direct exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations to be minimal. Currently, all sales to customers and all arrangements with third-party manufacturers, with one exception, provide for pricing and payment in U.S. dollars, and, therefore, are not subject to exchange rate fluctuations. Increases in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies could make our products more expensive, which could negatively impact our ability to compete. Conversely, decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies could result in our suppliers raising their prices to continue doing business with us. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates could affect our business in the future.

 

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures.

 

We are required to maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that material information related to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.

 

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2015.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2015, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Our process for evaluating controls and procedures is continuous and encompasses constant improvement of the design and effectiveness of established controls and procedures and the remediation of any deficiencies, which may be identified during this process.

 

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings.

 

We may at times be involved in litigation in the ordinary course of business. We will also, from time to time, when appropriate in management’s estimation, record adequate reserves in our consolidated financial statements for pending litigation. Currently, there are no pending material legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or to which any of its property is subject.

 

Item 1A.

Risk Factors.

 

As a Smaller Reporting Company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and in item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, we are electing scaled disclosure reporting obligations and therefore are not required to provide the information requested by this item.

 

Item 2.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

The Board of Directors approved a share buyback program in 2013 under which the Company was authorized to repurchase up to $4 million of its outstanding common shares. During the three months ended December 31, 2015, the Company purchased 1,031,208 shares at an average price paid per share of $1.59. This program expired on December 31, 2015 and the remaining $275,862 balance was cancelled. Shares repurchased under the plan have been retired.
