NOTE 1 – GENERAL

Description of Business: Transcat, Inc. (“Transcat” or the “Company”) is a leading provider of accredited calibration and compliance services and distributor of professional grade handheld test, measurement and control instrumentation. The Company is focused on providing services and products to highly regulated industries, particularly life science, which includes companies in the pharmaceutical, medical device and biotechnology industries. Additional industries served include industrial manufacturing, energy and utilities, chemical manufacturing and other industries that require accuracy in their processes and confirmation of the capabilities of their equipment.

Basis of Presentation: Transcat’s unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, the Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been included. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of what the results will be for the fiscal year. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2015 (“fiscal year 2015”) contained in the Company’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: Transcat has determined the fair value of debt and other financial instruments using a valuation hierarchy. The hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value, consists of three levels. Level 1 uses observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2 uses inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, which is defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, requires the Company to develop its own assumptions. The carrying amount of debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets approximates fair value due to variable interest rate pricing, and the carrying amounts for cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Investment assets, which fund the Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan, consist of mutual funds and are valued based on Level 1 inputs. At June 27, 2015 and March 28, 2015, investment assets totaled $1.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively, and are included as a component of other assets (non-current) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Stock-Based Compensation: The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for all equity awards granted, including stock options and restricted stock units, based on the fair market value of the award as of the grant date. The Company records compensation cost related to unvested equity awards by recognizing, on a straight-line basis, the unamortized grant date fair value over the remaining service period of each award. Excess tax benefits from the exercise of equity awards are presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as a financing activity. Excess tax benefits are realized benefits from tax deductions for exercised awards in excess of the deferred tax asset attributable to stock-based compensation costs for such awards. The Company did not capitalize any stock-based compensation costs as part of an asset. The Company estimates forfeiture rates based on its historical experience. During the first quarter of both the fiscal year ending March 26, 2016 (“fiscal year 2016”) and fiscal year 2015, the Company recorded non-cash stock-based compensation cost of $0.2 million in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions: The accounts of Transcat Canada Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, are maintained in the local currency and have been translated to U.S. dollars. Accordingly, the amounts representing assets and liabilities have been translated at the period-end rates of exchange and related revenue and expense accounts have been translated at an average rate of exchange during the period. Gains and losses arising from translation of Transcat Canada Inc.’s financial statements into U.S. dollars are recorded directly to the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) component of shareholders’ equity.

Transcat records foreign currency gains and losses on Canadian business transactions. The net foreign currency loss was less than $0.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal years 2016 and 2015. The Company continually utilizes short-term foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce the risk that its earnings will be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates. The Company does not apply hedge accounting and therefore the net change in the fair value of the contracts, which totaled a loss of $0.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal years 2016 and 2015, was recognized as a component of other expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The change in the fair value of the contracts is offset by the change in

fair value on the underlying accounts receivables denominated in Canadian dollars being hedged. On June 27, 2015, the Company had a foreign exchange contract, which matured in July 2015, outstanding in the notional amount of $5.6 million. The Company does not use hedging arrangements for speculative purposes.

Earnings Per Share: Basic earnings per share of common stock are computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share of common stock reflect the assumed conversion of stock options and unvested restricted stock units using the treasury stock method in periods in which they have a dilutive effect. In computing the per share effect of assumed conversion, funds which would have been received from the exercise of options and unvested restricted stock units and the related tax benefits are considered to have been used to purchase shares of common stock at the average market prices during the period, and the resulting net additional shares of common stock are included in the calculation of average shares of common stock outstanding.

For the first quarter of fiscal years 2016 and 2015, the net additional common stock equivalents had a $.01 per share effect on the calculation of dilutive earnings per share. The average shares outstanding used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:

NOTE 2 – DEBT

Description: Transcat, through its credit agreement, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”), which matures September 20, 2018, has a revolving credit facility that allows for maximum borrowings of $30.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a maximum borrowing restriction based on a 2.75 multiple of earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and non-cash stock-based compensation expense for the preceding four consecutive fiscal quarters. As of June 27, 2015, $29.5 million was available under the Revolving Credit Facility, of which $11.5 million was outstanding and included in long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Borrowings available under the Revolving Credit Facility for business acquisitions are limited to $15.0 million in any fiscal year. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, the Company borrowed $0.7 million for a business acquisition.

Interest and Other Costs: Interest on the Revolving Credit Facility accrues, at Transcat’s election, at either the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), adjusting daily, or a fixed rate for a designated period at the LIBOR corresponding to such period, in each case, plus a margin. Commitment fees accrue based on the average daily amount of unused credit available on the Revolving Credit Facility. Interest rate margins and commitment fees are determined on a quarterly basis based upon the Company’s calculated leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The one-month LIBOR as of June 27, 2015 was 0.2%. The Company’s interest rate for the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 ranged from 1.7% to 1.8%.

Covenants: The Credit Agreement has certain covenants with which the Company has to comply, including a fixed charge ratio covenant and a leverage ratio covenant. The Company was in compliance with all loan covenants and requirements during the first quarter of fiscal year 2016.

Other Terms: The Company has pledged all of its U.S. tangible and intangible personal property, the equity interests of its U.S.-based subsidiaries, and a majority of the common stock of Transcat Canada Inc. as collateral security for the loans made under the Revolving Credit Facility.

NOTE 3 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Transcat, Inc. 2003 Incentive Plan, as Amended and Restated (the “2003 Plan”), provides for, among other awards, grants of restricted stock units and stock options to directors, officers and key employees at the fair market value at the date of grant. At June 27, 2015, the number of shares available for future grant under the 2003 Plan totaled 1.3 million.

Restricted Stock: The Company grants performance-based restricted stock units as a primary component of executive compensation. The units generally vest following the third fiscal year from the date of grant subject to certain cumulative diluted earnings per share growth targets over the eligible period. Compensation cost ultimately recognized for performance-based restricted stock units will equal the grant date fair market value of the unit that coincides with the actual outcome of the performance conditions. On an interim basis, the Company records compensation cost based on the estimated level of achievement of the performance conditions.

The Company achieved 75% of the target level for the performance-based restricted stock units granted in the fiscal year ended March 30, 2013 and as a result, issued 18 shares of common stock to executive officers and certain key employees during the first quarter of fiscal year 2016. The following table summarizes the non-vested performance-based restricted stock units outstanding as of June 27, 2015:

Total expense relating to performance-based restricted stock units, based on grant date fair value and the achievement criteria, was $0.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal years 2016 and 2015. As of June 27, 2015, unearned compensation, to be recognized over the grants’ respective service periods, totaled $1.0 million.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors granted its Executive Chairman a stock award of ten thousand shares of common stock under the 2003 Plan. The award vested 50% on July 1, 2014, and the remaining 50% vested on July 1, 2015.  

Stock Options: Options generally vest over a period of up to four years, using either a graded schedule or on a straight-line basis, and expire ten years from the date of grant. The expense relating to options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.

The following table summarizes the Company’s options as of and for the first quarter ended June 27, 2015:

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money stock options) that would have been received by the option holders had all holders exercised their options on June 27, 2015. The amount of aggregate intrinsic value will change based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock.

Total expense related to stock options was less than $0.1 million during the first quarter of fiscal years 2016 and 2015. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options as of June 27, 2015 was $0.2 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of two years. The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 was $0.1 million. Cash received from the exercise of options in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 was less than $0.1 million.

NOTE 4 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

Transcat has two reportable segments: Distribution and Service. The Company has no inter-segment sales. The following table presents segment information for the first quarter of fiscal years 2016 and 2015:

NOTE 5 – BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

On June 22, 2015, Transcat acquired substantially all of the assets of Calibration Technologies, Inc. (“Calibration Technologies”), a regional provider of analytical instrument services including qualification, validation, repair and installation, headquartered in Morris Plaines, New Jersey.

This transaction aligns with the Company’s acquisition strategy of targeting service businesses that expand the Company’s geographic reach and leverage its infrastructure while also increasing the depth and breadth of the Company’s service capabilities.

The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Goodwill, calculated as the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the underlying net assets of the business acquired, generally represents expected future economic benefits arising from the reputation of an acquired business, the assembled workforce, expected synergies and other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. Other intangible assets, namely customer base and covenant not to compete, represent an allocation of a portion of the purchase price to identifiable intangible assets of the acquired business. Intangible assets are being amortized for financial reporting purposes on an accelerated basis over the estimated useful life of up to 10 years.

The total purchase price paid for the business acquired was approximately $1.0 million. The following is a summary of the purchase price allocation, in the aggregate, to the fair value, based on level three inputs, of assets and liabilities acquired:

The acquisition of Calibration Technologies contains a holdback provision, as defined in the purchase agreement. The Company accrued contingent consideration relating to the holdback provision based on its estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. No contingent consideration was paid during the first quarter of fiscal year 2016. As of June 27, 2015, $0.3 million of contingent consideration was unpaid and reflected in other liabilities (current) on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

During first quarter of fiscal year 2016, acquisition costs of less than $0.1 million were recorded as incurred as administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

In connection with a business acquisition completed in fiscal year 2015, the Company entered into an incentive agreement with the former owner of the acquired business. The Company recorded no expense related to this incentive agreement during the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 and had no unpaid amounts accrued at June 27, 2015.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements. This report contains “forward-looking statements” as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements relate to expectations, estimates, beliefs, assumptions and predictions of future events and are identified by words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “intends,” “could,” “may” and other similar words. Forward-looking statements are not statements of historical fact and thus are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those expressed in such forward-looking statements. You should evaluate forward-looking statements in light of important risk factors and uncertainties that may affect our operating and financial results and our ability to achieve our financial objectives. These factors include, but are not limited to, our reliance on one vendor to supply a significant amount of inventory purchases, the risks related to current and future indebtedness, the relatively low trading volume of our common stock, risks related to our acquisition strategy and the integration of the businesses we acquire, the impact of economic conditions, the highly competitive nature of our two business segments, cybersecurity risks and foreign currency rate fluctuations. These risk factors and uncertainties are more fully described by us under the heading “Risk Factors” in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2015. You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or publicly announce any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements contained in this report, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2015.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table presents, for the first quarter of fiscal years 2016 and 2015, the components of our Consolidated Statements of Income:

FIRST QUARTER ENDED JUNE 27, 2015 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER ENDED JUNE 28, 2014 (dollars in thousands):

Revenue:

Total revenue increased $0.6 million, or 1.9%, from the first quarter of fiscal year 2015 to the first quarter of fiscal year 2016.

Service revenue, which accounted for 45.6% and 41.7% of our total revenue in first quarter of fiscal years 2016 and 2015, respectively, increased 11.5% from the first quarter of fiscal year 2015 to the first quarter of fiscal year 2016. This year-over-year increase was the result of organic and acquisition-related growth.

Our fiscal years 2016 and 2015 Service revenue growth, in relation to prior fiscal year quarter comparisons, was as follows:

Within any quarter, while we add new customers, we also have customers from the prior year whose service orders may not repeat for any number of reasons. Among those reasons are variations in the timing of periodic calibrations and other services, customer capital expenditures and customer outsourcing decisions. Because the timing of Service segment orders can vary on a quarter-to-quarter basis, we believe a trailing twelve-month trend provides a better indication of the progress of this segment. The following table presents the trailing twelve-month Service segment revenue for each quarter in fiscal years 2016 and 2015 as well as the trailing twelve-month revenue growth as a comparison to that of the prior fiscal year period:

Within the calibration industry, there is a broad array of measurement disciplines making it costly and inefficient for any one provider to invest the needed capital for the facilities, equipment and uniquely trained personnel necessary to address all measurement disciplines with in-house calibration capabilities. Our strategy has been to focus our investments in the core electrical, temperature, pressure and dimensional disciplines. Accordingly, over the long-term, we expect to outsource 15% to 20% of Service revenue to third-party vendors for calibration beyond our chosen scope of capabilities. During any individual quarter, we could fluctuate beyond these percentages. We continually evaluate our outsourcing needs and make capital investments, as deemed necessary, to add more in-house capabilities and reduce the need for third-party vendors. The following table presents the source of our Service revenue and the percentage of Service revenue derived from each source for each quarter of fiscal years 2016 and 2015:

Our Distribution sales accounted for 54.4% of our total revenue in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 and 58.3% of our total revenue in the first quarter of fiscal year 2015. Distribution sales in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 were $16.1 million, compared with $17.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2015. This year-over-year decline was attributed to overall softness in the market for test and measurement equipment and weak demand from the oil and gas industry. Our fiscal years 2016 and 2015 Distribution sales (decline) growth, in relation to prior fiscal year quarter comparisons, was as follows:

Distribution sales in any given period may vary based on the number of business days within that period. To isolate the effect of this variability, we review Distribution sales on a per business day basis when comparing sales in two or more periods. Our Distribution sales per business day for each quarter during fiscal years 2016 and 2015 were as follows:

Distribution orders include orders for instruments that we routinely stock in our inventory, customized products, and other products ordered less frequently, which we do not stock. Pending product shipments are primarily backorders, but also include products that are requested to be calibrated in our service centers prior to shipment, orders required to be shipped complete or at a future date, and other orders awaiting final credit or management review prior to shipment. Variations in pending product shipments can be impacted by several factors, including the timing of when product orders are placed in relation to the end of the fiscal period, specialized product orders that are not stocked, or production issues experienced by manufacturers. Our total pending product shipments at the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 were $2.9 million, consistent with the first quarter of fiscal year 2015. The following table presents our historical trend of total pending product shipments and the percentage of total pending product shipments that were backorders at the end of each quarter of fiscal years 2016 and 2015:

Gross Profit:

Total gross profit in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 increased $0.4 million, or 5.9%, from the first quarter of fiscal year 2015. Total gross margin in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 increased 90 basis points from the first quarter of fiscal year 2015.

Service gross profit in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 increased $0.6 million, or 20.2%, from the first quarter of fiscal year 2015. Service gross margin increased 190 basis points over the same period in the prior fiscal year to 26.1%. Our annual and quarterly Service gross margins are functions of several factors. In general, our Service revenue growth provides incremental gross margin growth due to the operating leverage achieved through our relatively fixed cost structure in this segment. However, other factors, such as percent of Service revenue outsourced to third-party vendors and the amount of Service revenue growth achieved through business acquisitions compared to that achieved organically may moderate or reduce our gross margins in any given quarter.

The following table presents the quarterly historical trend of our Service gross margin as a percent of Service revenue:

We evaluate Distribution gross profit from two perspectives. Channel gross profit includes net sales less the direct cost of inventory sold. Our Distribution gross profit includes channel gross profit as well as the impact of vendor rebates, cooperative advertising income, freight billed to customers, freight expenses and direct shipping costs. In general, our Distribution gross margin can vary based upon the mix of products sold, price discounting and the timing of periodic vendor rebates and cooperative advertising income received from suppliers.

Distribution gross profit was $3.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, a $0.2 million decrease when compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2015. As a percent of Distribution sales, Distribution gross margin was 21.9% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, consistent with the first quarter of fiscal year 2015. Vendor rebates accounted for 130 basis points of the segment gross margin in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016. The following table reflects the quarterly historical trend of our Distribution gross margin as a percent of Distribution sales:

Operating Expenses:

Operating expenses increased $0.1 million, or 2.1%, from the first quarter of fiscal year 2015 to the first quarter of fiscal year 2016. The increase was primarily due to increased administrative expenses resulting from year-over-year increases in employee-related expenses and professional fees, partially offset by reduced marketing expenses resulting from fewer cooperative advertising supported marketing programs in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 than the first quarter of fiscal year 2015. As a percentage of total revenue, operating expenses were 20.3% in the first quarter of fiscal years 2016 and 2015.

Taxes:

Our effective tax rates for the first quarter of fiscal years 2016 and 2015 were 35.5% and 37.7%, respectively. The decrease largely reflects a change in the mix of taxable income between the U.S. and Canada. We continue to evaluate our tax provision on a quarterly basis and make adjustments, as deemed necessary, to our effective tax rate given changes in facts and circumstances expected for the entire fiscal year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Through our credit agreement, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”), which matures on September 20, 2018, we have a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility allows for maximum borrowings of $30.0 million and limits the amount of borrowings that may be used for business acquisitions to $15.0 million per fiscal year.

The Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a maximum borrowing restriction based on a 2.75 multiple of earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and non-cash stock-based compensation expense for the preceding four consecutive fiscal quarters. As of June 27, 2015, $29.5 million was available under the Revolving Credit Facility, of which $11.5 million was outstanding and included in long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The Credit Agreement has certain covenants with which we have to comply, including a fixed charge ratio covenant and a leverage ratio covenant. We were in compliance with all loan covenants and requirements during the first quarter of fiscal year 2016.

We believe that amounts available under our current credit facility and our cash on hand are sufficient to satisfy our expected working capital and capital expenditure needs as well as our lease commitments for the foreseeable future.

Cash Flows: The following table is a summary of our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (dollars in thousands):

Operating Activities: Net cash provided by operations was $2.6 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 compared to $2.4 million of net cash used in operating activities during the first quarter of fiscal year 2015. Significant working capital fluctuations were as follows:

Investing Activities: During the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, we invested $1.1 million in capital expenditures, compared to $0.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2015, primarily for additional Service segment capabilities and information technology improvements. Also, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, we used $0.7 million for a business acquisition.

Financing Activities: During the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, approximately $0.7 million in net cash was used in financing activities, primarily for repayment of our Revolving Credit Facility. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2015, financing activities provided approximately $3.4 million in cash, which was used primarily for capital expenditures and to reduce accounts payable.

OUTLOOK

We have made great strides in taking market share in our calibration services business, both organically and through acquisitions.  As a result, we believe fiscal year 2016 will be a strong year and expect consolidated operating income growth in the mid-teens. This annualized rate of growth reflects a normalized expectation to accommodate for higher performance-based variable compensation expenses particularly in the fourth quarter.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

INTEREST RATES

Our exposure to changes in interest rates results from our borrowing activities. In the event interest rates were to move by 1%, our yearly interest expense would increase or decrease by approximately $0.1 million assuming our average borrowing levels remained constant. As of June 27, 2015, $29.5 million was available under our Revolving Credit Facility, of which $11.5 million was outstanding and included in long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

We borrow from our Revolving Credit Facility at the one-month LIBOR, adjusting daily, or at a fixed rate for a designated period at the LIBOR corresponding to such period, in each case, plus a margin. Our interest rate margin is determined on a quarterly basis based upon our calculated leverage ratio. As of June 27, 2015, the one-month LIBOR was 0.2%. Our interest

rate for the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 ranged from 1.7% to 1.8%. On June 27, 2015, we had no hedging arrangements in place to limit our exposure to upward movements in interest rates.

FOREIGN CURRENCY

Approximately 90% of our total revenues for the first quarter of fiscal years 2016 and 2015 were denominated in U.S. dollars, with the remainder denominated in Canadian dollars. A 10% change in the value of the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar would impact our revenue by approximately 1%. We monitor the relationship between the U.S. and Canadian currencies on a monthly basis and adjust sales prices for products and services sold in Canadian dollars as we believe to be appropriate.

We continually utilize short-term foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce the risk that future earnings would be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates. We do not apply hedge accounting and therefore the net change in the fair value of the contracts, which totaled a loss of $0.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal years 2016 and 2015, was recognized as a component of other expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The change in the fair value of the contracts is offset by the change in fair value on the underlying accounts receivables denominated in Canadian dollars being hedged. On June 27, 2015, we had a foreign exchange contract, which matured in July 2015, outstanding in the notional amount of $5.6 million. We do not use hedging arrangements for speculative purposes.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter covered by this quarterly report (our first fiscal quarter) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
