NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation and General Information
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of The Hackett Group, Inc. (Hackett or the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and include the Companys accounts and those of its wholly owned subsidiaries which the Company is required to consolidate. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the Companys financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods presented. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, these statements do not include all the disclosures normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended January 2, 2009 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The consolidated results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended October 2, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or for the full fiscal year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (ASC 105) (the Codification). ASC 105 supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. Going forward, the FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (ASU), which will serve to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance, and provide the basis for conclusions on the changes to the Codification. The Codification was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after September 15, 2009. As a result of the adoption, the Company has included references to the Codification, as appropriate, in these financial statements, referred to previously under the former FASB references.
In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (ASC 805). ASC 805 establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. This standard also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination and is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of ASC 805 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB ASC Topic 275, Risks and Uncertainties (ASC 275-10), and ASC Topic 350, Intangibles and Other (ASC 350-30). ASC 350-30 amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets. This new guidance applies prospectively to intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets in business combinations and asset acquisitions. ASC 350-30 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of ASC 350-30 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

1. Basis of Presentation and General Information (continued)
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC Topic 805-20, Business Combinations (ASC 805-20). ASC 805-20 requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies be recognized at fair value if fair value can be reasonably estimated. This statement is effective for business combinations with an acquisition date on or after June 1, 2009. The adoption of ASC 805-20 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC Topic 820-10, Fair Value and Measurement Disclosure (ASC 820-10). ASC 820-10 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value when there is no active market or where the price inputs used represent distressed sales. This standard is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 820-10 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC Topic 825-10, Financial Instruments (ASC 825-10), which requires disclosure about the fair value of financial instruments for annual and interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies. ASC 825-10 is effective for financial statements used for periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 825-10 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In May 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC Topic 855-10, Subsequent Events (ASC 855-10), which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. ASC 855-10 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted ASC 855-10 and has evaluated subsequent events for possible disclosure through the date of this filing.
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value (ASU 2009-05), which clarified how to measure the fair value of liabilities in circumstances when a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available. ASU 2009-05 is effective for the first reporting period beginning after the issuance of this standard. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2009-05 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (ASU 2009-13), which addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit. ASU 2009-13 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified beginning in fiscal years on or after June 15, 2010, however, early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2009-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-14, Software (Topic 985): Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) (ASU 2009-14). ASU 2009-14 amends ASC Topic 985-605 (ASC 985-605), Software: Revenue Recognition, such that tangible products, containing both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the tangible products essential functionality, are no longer within the scope of ASC 985-605. It also amends the determination of how arrangement consideration should be allocated to deliverables in a multiple-deliverable revenue arrangement. ASU 2009-14 is effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified on or after April 1, 2011, however, early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2009-14 will have on its consolidated financial statements. Both ASU No. 2009-13 and ASU No. 2009-14 must be adopted in the same period and must use the same transition disclosures.

2. Net Income per Common Share
Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. With regard to common stock subject to vesting requirements or restricted stock units issued to employees, the calculation includes only the vested portion of such stock.
Dilutive net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, increased by the assumed conversion of other potentially dilutive securities during the period.
The following table reconciles basic and dilutive weighted average shares:
Quarter Ended | Nine Months Ended | |||||||
October 2, 2009 |
September 26, 2008 |
October 2, 2009 |
September 26, 2008 | |||||

Dilutive weighted average common shares outstanding |
38,369,535 | 41,571,404 | 38,380,825 | 42,068,304 | ||||
Approximately 1.0 million and 0.8 million stock options were excluded from the computations of diluted net income per common share for the quarters ended October 2, 2009 and September 26, 2008, respectively, as the exercise price was higher than the Companys average stock price.

5. Marketable Investments
The Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820), on December 29, 2007. ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes the following three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data
As of October 2, 2009 and January 2, 2009, the Companys financial instruments were carried at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the short-term financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, marketable investments, restricted cash, accounts receivable and unbilled revenue, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities, equaled the respective carrying value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
As of January 2, 2009, the Company had a net balance of $1.7 million in Bank of Americas Columbia Strategic Cash Portfolio (Portfolio). In July 2009, the Company received the final Portfolio redemption. As a result of the final redemption, the Company recorded an additional reserve on the marketable investments of $35 thousand in the quarter ended July 3, 2009 to reflect the fair market value.
The following table summarizes the Companys activity in the Portfolio during the quarter and nine months ended October 2, 2009 (in thousands):

Quarter and Nine Months Ended October 2, 2009 versus Quarter and Nine Months Ended September 26, 2008
Revenue. We are a global company with operations primarily in the United States and Western Europe. Our revenue is denominated in multiple currencies, mostly the U.S. Dollar, British Pound and Euro, and as a result is affected by currency exchange rate fluctuations. Exchange rate fluctuations had an impact on our revenue comparisons between the quarters and nine months ended October 2, 2009 and September 26, 2008; therefore, in the following revenue discussion we will disclose The Hackett Group revenue variances based on the U.S. Dollar reporting currency, as well as variances excluding the impact of currency fluctuations, otherwise referred to below as constant currency. Hackett Technology Solutions was not materially impacted by foreign currency rate fluctuations.

Total Hackett revenue decreased 33%, or 32% in constant currency, for the quarter ended October 2, 2009, as compared to the quarter ended September 26, 2008. Total Hackett revenue decreased 25%, or 22% in constant currency, for the nine months ended October 2, 2009, as compared to the nine months ended September 26, 2008.
The Hackett Group revenue decreased 32%, or 30% in constant currency, for the quarter ended October 2, 2009, as compared to the quarter ended September 26, 2008. The Hackett Group revenue decreased 23%, or 19% in constant currency, for the nine months ended October 2, 2009, as compared to the nine months ended September 26, 2008. The decrease in The Hackett Group revenue was primarily the result of delays in client decision-making and protracted sales cycles which have impacted our momentum in 2009.
The Hackett Groups international revenue, which is primarily based on the country of the contracting entity, accounted for 37% and 34%, or 38% and 37% in constant currency, of The Hackett Groups total revenue in the quarter and nine months ended October 2, 2009, respectively, as compared to 39% for both the quarter and nine months ended September 26, 2008, respectively.
Hackett Technology Solutions revenue decreased 35% and 29% for the quarter and nine months ended October 2, 2009, respectively, as compared to the quarter and nine months ended September 26, 2008, primarily due to lower revenue from our Oracle and EPM Oracle groups.
During both the quarter and nine months ended October 2, 2009, one customer accounted for 7% of our total revenue. For the quarter and nine months ended September 26, 2008, one customer accounted for 8% and 5%, respectively, of our total revenue.
Cost of Service. Cost of service primarily consists of salaries, benefits and incentive compensation for consultants and reimbursable expenses associated with projects. Cost of service before reimbursable expenses decreased 21% and 15% for the quarter and nine months ended October 2, 2009, respectively, as compared to the quarter and nine months ended September 26, 2008, primarily due to lower accruals for 2009 incentive compensation awards and reductions in headcount made to conform to the current market demand.
Total cost of service as a percentage of revenue before reimbursable expenses increased to 57% for both the quarter and nine months ended October 2, 2009, from 49% and 51% for the quarter and nine months ended September 26, 2008, respectively. This increase was primarily due to the decrease in revenue as previously discussed. Cost of service is also denominated in multiple currencies and is therefore affected by currency exchange rate fluctuations.
The Hackett Group revenue produced gross margins of 39% and 41% for the quarter and nine months ended October 2, 2009, respectively, as compared to Hackett Technology Solutions which produced gross margins of 25% and 23% for the same periods, respectively. On a net revenue basis, The Hackett Group produced gross margins as a percentage of revenue of 42% and 44% for the quarter and nine months ended October 2, 2009, respectively, as compared to Hackett Technology Solutions, which produced gross margins as a percentage of net revenue of 29% and 26% for the same periods, respectively.
Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative costs decreased by 36% and 23% for the quarter and nine months ended October 2, 2009, respectively, compared to the quarter and nine months ended September 26, 2008. The decrease was primarily related to lower 2009 incentive compensation accruals, lower commission expense due to the decrease in revenue as previously discussed, and various other cost reduction actions taken in 2009. Partially offsetting these cost reductions for the nine months ended October 2, 2009 were foreign currency losses of $0.3 million, compared to foreign currency gains of $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 26, 2008. Selling, general and administrative costs as a percentage of revenue were 31% and 32% for the quarter and nine months ended October 2, 2009, respectively, as compared to 32% and 31% for the quarter and nine months ended September 26, 2008, respectively.
Income Taxes. We recorded an income tax benefit of $20 thousand and an income tax expense of $69 thousand for the quarter and nine months ended October 2, 2009, respectively, which reflected an estimated annual tax rate benefit of 2.5% and an estimated annual tax rate expense of 3.7%, respectively, for certain federal and state taxes. For the quarter and nine months ended September 26, 2008, we recorded income taxes of $123 thousand and $253 thousand, respectively, which reflected estimated annual tax rates of 2.6% and 2.0%, respectively, for certain federal and state taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At October 2, 2009 and January 2, 2009, we had $23.2 million and $32.1 million, respectively, classified in cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. During these same periods, we had $600 thousand on deposit with financial institutions as collateral for letters of credit classified as restricted cash in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. At January 2, 2009, we had a net balance of $1.7 million in Bank of Americas Columbia Strategic Cash Portfolio (Portfolio), of which the final Portfolio redemption was received in July 2009. The Portfolio was classified as marketable investments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at January 2, 2009 (see Note 5 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements).
The following table summarizes our cash flow activity (in thousands):

Net cash used in operating activities was $5.2 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2009, as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $16.1 million for the nine months ended September 26, 2008. During the nine months ended October 2, 2009, net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to the payout of 2008 incentive compensation awards and the timing of vendor payments and payroll cycles. These uses of cash were partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable and unbilled revenue and earnings net of non-cash items.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 26, 2008 was primarily attributable to earnings net of non-cash items. Additionally, we had higher accrued expenses and other liabilities during the nine months ended September 26, 2008, primarily due to the timing of the payroll cycle. The increases were mostly offset by higher prepaid expenses and other assets, and higher accounts receivable and unbilled revenue at September 26, 2008, offset by a four day decrease in Days Sales Outstanding from December 28, 2007.
Net cash used in investing activities was $0.6 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2009, as compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 26, 2008. Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended October 2, 2009 was primarily attributable to $2.3 million in capital expenditures, partially offset by $1.7 million of Portfolio redemptions.
Net cash provided by investing activities in the nine months ended September 26, 2008 was primarily attributable to $4.6 million of Portfolio redemptions, offset by $1.5 million of capital expenditures.
Net cash used in financing activities was $3.2 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2009, as compared to $15.7 million for the nine months ended September 26, 2008. Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended October 2, 2009 was attributable to the repurchase of 1.6 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $2.20 per share, for a total cost of $3.5 million. Partially offsetting the 2009 share buybacks were proceeds from the sale of stock sold through our Employee Stock Purchase Plan of $230 thousand.
Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 26, 2008 was primarily attributable to the repurchase of 3.5 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $4.59 per share, for a total cost of $16.2 million. Partially offsetting the 2008 share buybacks were proceeds from the sale of stock as a result of exercises of stock sold through our Employee Stock Purchase Plan of $328 thousand and exercises of stock options of $232 thousand.
As of October 2, 2009, our total authorization under our share repurchase program was $60.0 million. Under the repurchase plan, we may buy back shares from time to time either on the open market or through privately negotiated transactions subject to market conditions and trading restrictions. As of October 2, 2009, we had $3.5 million available under the buyback program.

Table of Contents
We currently believe that available funds and cash flows generated by operations will be sufficient to fund our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. We may decide to raise additional funds in order to fund expansion, to develop new or further enhance products and services, to respond to competitive pressures, or to acquire complementary businesses or technologies. There is no assurance, however, that additional financing will be available when needed or desired.
Subsequent Event
On November 10, 2009, we completed our acquisition of Archstone Consulting, LLC (Archstone) pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement under which we purchased the assets used in connection with Archstones consulting business.
The purchase price was approximately 5.2 million shares of our common stock, of which approximately 1.6 million shares are subject to an earn-out based on revenue achieved in 2010. In addition, we will issue approximately 950 thousand shares of our common stock to former Archstone executives as new employees of the Company that will vest over a two to five year period.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (ASC 105) (the Codification). ASC 105 supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. Going forward, the FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (ASU), which will serve to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance, and provide the basis for conclusions on the changes to the Codification. The Codification was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after September 15, 2009. As a result of the adoption, we have included references to the Codification, as appropriate, in these financial statements, referred to previously under the former FASB references.
In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (ASC 805). ASC 805 establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. This standard also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination and is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of ASC 805 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB ASC Topic 275, Risks and Uncertainties (ASC 275-10), and ASC Topic 350, Intangibles and Other (ASC 350-30). ASC 350-30 amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets. This new guidance applies prospectively to intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets in business combinations and asset acquisitions. ASC 350-30 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of ASC 350-30 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC Topic 805-20, Business Combinations (ASC 805-20). ASC 805-20 requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies be recognized at fair value if fair value can be reasonably estimated. This statement is effective for business combinations with an acquisition date on or after June 1, 2009. The adoption of ASC 805-20 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC Topic 820-10, Fair Value and Measurement Disclosure (ASC 820-10). ASC 820-10 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value when there is no active market or where the price inputs used represent distressed sales. This standard is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 820-10 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC Topic 825-10, Financial Instruments (ASC 825-10), which requires disclosure about the fair value of financial instruments for annual and interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies. ASC 825-10 is effective for financial statements used for periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 825-10 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic 855-10, Subsequent Events (ASC 855-10), which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. ASC 855-10 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. We adopted ASC 855-10 and have evaluated subsequent events for possible disclosure through the date of this filing.
16
Table of Contents
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value (ASU 2009-05), which clarified how to measure the fair value of liabilities in circumstances when a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available. ASU 2009-05 is effective for the first reporting period beginning after the issuance of this standard. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2009-05 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (ASU 2009-13), which addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit. ASU 2009-13 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified beginning in fiscal years on or after June 15, 2010, however, early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2009-13 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-14, Software (Topic 985): Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) (ASU 2009-14). ASU 2009-14 amends ASC Topic 985-605, Software: Revenue Recognition (ASC 985-605), such that tangible products, containing both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the tangible products essential functionality, are no longer within the scope of ASC 985-605. It also amends the determination of how arrangement consideration should be allocated to deliverables in a multiple-deliverable revenue arrangement. ASU 2009-14 is effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified on or after April 1, 2011, however, early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2009-14 will have on our consolidated financial statements. Both ASU No. 2009-13 and ASU No. 2009-14 must be adopted in the same period and must use the same transition disclosures.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
At October 2, 2009, our exposure to market risk related primarily to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rate risks.
Interest Rate Risk
We invest only with high credit quality issuers and we do not use derivative financial instruments in our investments.
Exchange Rate Sensitivity
We face exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates, as a portion of our revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, primarily the British Pound and the Euro. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve. Currently, we do not hold any derivative contracts that hedge our foreign currency risk, but we may adopt such strategies in the future.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (Disclosure Controls) pursuant to Rule 13a-14(c) and Rule 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all
17
Table of Contents
control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include 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.
Changes in Internal Controls
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
