NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

Organization and Business

 

Founded in 1979, Information Analysis Incorporated (“We”, the “Company”), to which we sometimes refer as IAI, is in the business of developing and maintaining information technology (IT) systems, modernizing client information systems, and performing professional services to government and commercial organizations. We presently concentrate our technology, services and experience to developing web-based and mobile device solutions (including electronic forms conversions), data analytics, cyber security applications, and legacy software migration and modernization for various agencies of the federal government. We provide software and services to government and commercial customers throughout the United States, with a concentration in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.

 

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements include all adjustments necessary (which are of a normal and recurring nature) for the fair and not misleading presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC on March 31, 2017 (the “Annual Report”). The accompanying December 31, 2016 balance sheet and financial information was derived from our audited financial statements included in the Annual Report. The results of operations for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year.

 

There have been no changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies as of March 31, 2017 as compared to the significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 that was filed with the SEC on March 31, 2017.

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results can, and in many cases will, differ from those estimates. 

 

Income Taxes

 

As of March 31, 2017, there have been no material changes to the Company’s uncertain tax position disclosures as provided in Note 7 of the Annual Report. The Company does not anticipate that total unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change prior to March 31, 2018.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company earns revenue from both professional services and sales of software and related support. The Company recognizes revenue when a contract has been executed, the contract price is fixed and determinable, delivery of services or products has occurred, and collectability of the contract price is considered probable and can be reasonably estimated. Revenue from professional services is earned under time and materials and fixed-price contracts. For sales of third-party software products, revenue is recognized upon product delivery, with any maintenance related revenues recognized ratably over the maintenance period.

 

Revenue on time and materials contracts is recognized based on direct labor hours expended at contract billing rates and adding other billable direct costs.

 

For fixed-price contracts that are based on unit pricing, the Company recognizes revenue for the number of units delivered in any given reporting period.

 

For fixed-price contracts in which the Company is paid a specific amount to be available to provide a particular service for a stated period of time, revenue is recognized ratably over the service period. The Company applies this method of revenue recognition to renewals of maintenance contracts on third-party software sales and to separable maintenance elements of sales of third-party software that include fixed terms of maintenance, such as Adobe and Micro Focus software, for which the Company is responsible for “first line support” to the customer and for serving as a liaison between the customer and the third-party maintenance provider for issues the Company is unable to resolve.

 

 

The Company reports revenue on both gross and net bases on a transaction by transaction analysis using authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”). The Company considers the following factors to determine the gross versus net presentation: if the Company (i) acts as principal in the transaction; (ii) takes title to the products; (iii) has risks and rewards of ownership, such as the risk of loss for collection, delivery or return; and (iv) acts as an agent or broker (including performing services, in substance, as an agent or broker) with compensation on a commission or fee basis. Generally, sales of third-party software products such as Adobe and Micro Focus products are reported on a gross basis with the Company acting as the principal in these arrangements. This determination is based on the following: 1) the Company has inventory risk as suppliers are not obligated to accept returns, 2) the Company has reasonable latitude, within economic constraints, in establishing price, 3) the Company, in its marketing efforts, frequently aids the customer in determining product specifications, 4) the Company has physical loss and inventory risk as title transfers at the shipping point, 5) the Company bears full credit risk, and 6) the amount the Company earns in the transaction is neither a fixed dollar amount nor a fixed percentage. Generally, revenue derived for facilitating a sales transaction of Adobe products in which a customer introduced by the Company makes a purchase directly from the Company’s supplier or another designated reseller is recognized net when the commission payment is received since the Company is merely acting as an agent in these arrangements. Since the Company is not a direct party in the sales transaction, payment by the supplier is the Company’s confirmation that the sale occurred.

 

For software and software-related multiple element arrangements, the Company must: (1) determine whether and when each element has been delivered; (2) determine whether undelivered products or services are essential to the functionality of the delivered products and services; (3) determine the fair value of each undelivered element using vendor-specific objective evidence ("VSOE"), and (4) allocate the total price among the various elements. Changes in assumptions or judgments or changes to the elements in a software arrangement could cause a material increase or decrease in the amount of revenue that the Company reports in a particular period.

 

The Company determines VSOE for each element based on historical stand-alone sales to third parties or from the stated renewal rate for the elements contained in the initial arrangement. The Company has established VSOE for its third-party software maintenance and support services.

 

The Company’s contracts with agencies of the U.S. federal government are subject to periodic funding by the respective contracting agency. Funding for a contract may be provided in full at inception of the contract, ratably throughout the contract as the services are provided, or subject to funds made available incrementally by legislators. In evaluating the probability of funding for purposes of assessing collectability of the contract price, the Company considers its previous experiences with its customers, communications with its customers regarding funding status, and the Company’s knowledge of available funding for the contract or program. If funding is not assessed as probable, revenue recognition is deferred until realization is deemed probable.

 

Payments received in advance of services performed are recorded and reported as deferred revenue. Services performed prior to invoicing customers are recorded as unbilled accounts receivable and are presented on the Company’s balance sheets in the aggregate with accounts receivable.

 

Prompt payment discounts taken and expected to be taken by customers in conjunction with orders received under the Company’s General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule (“GSA Schedule”) are reflected as a reduction in the Company’s revenue.

 

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), or other standard setting bodies that the Company adopts as of the specified effective date.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)" (“ASU 2014-09”). This new standard will supercede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. The core principle of the ASU is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount it expects to receive for those goods and services. The standard defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. The standard allows entities to apply either of two adoption methods: (a) retrospective application to each prior reporting period presented with the option to elect certain practical expedients as defined within ASU 2014-09; or (b) retrospective application with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures as defined per ASU 2014-09. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606” ("ASU 2015-14"), which defers the effective date for ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new standard on its financial statements and the method of adoption. While the amount of disclosures and types of disclosures will change regarding revenue recognition, the Company believes the ultimate impact of adopting this new standard will be the potential for moderate shifts in the timing of revenue recognition from certain types of customer contracts.

 

 

There have been three new ASUs issued amending certain aspects of ASU 2014-09. ASU 2016-08, "Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross Versus Net)," was issued in March 2016 to clarify certain aspects of the principal versus agent guidance in ASU 2014-09. In addition, ASU 2016-10, "Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing" issued in April 2016, amends other sections of ASU 2014-09 including clarifying guidance related to identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation. Finally, ASU 2016-12, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients" provides amendments and practical expedients to the guidance in ASU 2014-09 in the areas of assessing collectability, presentation of sales taxes received from customers, noncash consideration, contract modification and clarification of using the full retrospective approach to adopt ASU 2014-09. With its evaluation of the impact of ASU 2014-09, the Company is also evaluating the financial statement impact related to the updated guidance provided by these three new ASUs.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases: Topic 842,” which provided updated guidance on lease accounting. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that annual period, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new standard on its financial statements.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,” to provide additional guidance and reduce diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company had two shareholder–approved stock-based compensation plans. The 2006 Stock Incentive Plan was adopted in 2006 (“2006 Plan”) and had options granted under it through April 12, 2016. On June 1, 2016, the shareholders ratified the IAI 2016 Stock Incentive Plan (“2016 Plan”), which had been approved by the Board of Directors on April 4, 2016.

 

2016 Stock Incentive Plan

 

The 2016 Plan became effective June 1, 2016, and expires April 4, 2026. The 2016 Plan provides for the granting of equity awards to key employees, including officers and directors. Options under the 2016 Plan are generally granted at-the-money or above, expire no later than ten years from the date of grant or within three months of when employment ceases, whichever comes first, and vest over periods determined by the Board of Directors. The number of shares subject to options available for issuance under the 2016 Plan cannot exceed 1,000,000. At March 31, 2017, there were no options yet issued under the 2016 Plan.

 

2006 Stock Incentive Plan

 

The 2006 Plan became effective May 18, 2006, and expired April 12, 2016. The 2006 Plan provides for the granting of equity awards to key employees, including officers and directors. Options under the 2016 Plan were generally granted at-the-money or above, expire no later than ten years from the date of grant or within three months of when employment ceases, whichever comes first, and vest over periods determined by the Board of Directors. The number of shares subject to options available for issuance under the 2006 Plan could not exceed 1,950,000. There were 1,289,500 and 1,240,000 unexpired options remaining from the 2006 Plan at March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

 

The Company estimates the fair value of options granted using a Black-Scholes valuation model to establish the expense. When stock-based compensation is awarded to employees, the expense is recognized ratably over the vesting period. When stock-based compensation is awarded to non-employees, the expense is recognized over the period of performance. The fair values of option awards granted in the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, were estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:

 

		Three Months ended March 31,
		2017		2016
Risk free interest rate		n/a		1.15% - 1.55%
Dividend yield		n/a		0%
Expected term		n/a		5 years
Expected volatility		n/a		34.9% - 35.0%

 

A summary of the activity under the stock incentive plans as of March 31, 2017, and changes during the quarter then ended is presented below.

 

Incentive Options	Shares	Weighted-Average Exercise Price	Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term	Aggregate IntrinsicValue
Outstanding at January 1, 2017	1,313,000	$0.22
Granted	-	-
Exercised	-	-
Expired	(3,500)	0.42
Forfeited	(20,000)	0.13
Outstanding at March 31, 2017	1,289,500	$0.22	4.9	$37,098
Exercisable at March 31, 2017	1,269,500	$0.23	4.8	$35,898

 

There were no options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2017, and the weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2016, was $0.04. There were no options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. As of March 31, 2017, there was $250 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the stock incentive plans; that cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of four months.

 

Total compensation expense related to these plans was $259 and $666 for the quarters ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, none of which related to options awarded to non-employees. Compensation expense relating to prior periods of $612 were reversed in the quarter ended March 31, 2017, from options that were forfeited prior to vesting.

 

Nonvested option awards as of March 31, 2017 and changes during the three months ended March 31, 2017 were as follows:

 

	Shares	Weighted average grant date fair value
Nonvested at January 1, 2017	45,000	$0.07
Granted	-
Vested	(5,000)	0.08
Forfeited	(20,000)	0.04
Nonvested at March 31, 2017	20,000	$0.05

 

 

The Company has a revolving line of credit with a bank providing for demand or short-term borrowings of up to $1,000,000. The line expires on May 31, 2017. As of March 31, 2017, the Company was in default of a covenant to maintain a minimum tangible net worth of $1,800,000. The Company’s bank has issued a waiver of the default through the expiration of the current term of the line of credit. At that time the bank will review the Company’s balance sheets and results of operations for 2017. The Company anticipates the bank will renew its line of credit with some adjustment to terms, covenants, or both, but can provide no assurance that the bank will indeed renew the line of credit nor renew it under terms deemed favorable to the Company. As of March 31, 2017, no amounts were outstanding under this line of credit. The Company did not borrow against this line of credit in the last twelve months.

 

 

 

Basic loss per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, except for periods when the Company reports a net loss because the inclusion of such items would be antidilutive. The antidilutive effect of 179,490 and 27,097 shares from stock options were excluded from diluted shares as of March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

The following is a reconciliation of the amounts used in calculating basic and diluted net loss per common share:

 

	Net Loss	Shares	Per Share Amount
Basic net loss per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2017:
Loss available to common stockholders	$(31,616)	11,201,760	$0.00
Effect of dilutive stock options	-	-	-
Diluted net loss per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2017	$(31,616)	11,201,760	$0.00
Basic net loss per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2016:
Loss available to common stockholders	$(210,270)	11,201,760	$(0.02)
Effect of dilutive stock options	-	-	-
Diluted net loss per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2016	$(210,270)	11,201,760	$(0.02)

 

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, the FASB established a three-level hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of fair value measurements are:

 

 

The inputs used in measuring the fair value of cash and cash equivalents are considered to be Level 1 in accordance with the three-tier fair value hierarchy. The fair market values are based on period-end statements supplied by the various banks and brokers that held the majority of the Company’s funds. The fair value of short-term financial instruments (primarily cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other current assets and liabilities) approximate their carrying values because of their short-term nature.

We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks, some of which are beyond our control. This list highlights some of the risks which may affect future operating results. These are the risks and uncertainties we believe are most important for you to consider. Additional risks and uncertainties, not presently known to us, which we currently deem immaterial or which are similar to those faced by other companies in our industry or business in general, may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks or uncertainties actually occurs, our business, financial condition and operating results would likely suffer. These risks include, among others, the following:

 

 

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “predicts,” “intends,” “potential” and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are based on assumptions and subject to risks and uncertainties. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We discuss many of these risks in greater detail under the heading “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our 2016 10-K. Also, these forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this report. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this report.

 

Our Business

 

Founded in 1979, IAI is in the business of modernizing client information systems, developing and maintaining information technology systems, developing electronic forms, and performing consulting services to government and commercial organizations. We have performed software conversion projects for over 100 commercial and government customers, including Computer Sciences Corporation, IBM, Computer Associates, Sprint, Citibank, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Treasury Department, U.S. Department of Agriculture, U.S. Department of Education, U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Today, we primarily apply our technology, services and experience to legacy software migration and modernization for commercial companies and government agencies, and to developing web-based solutions for agencies of the U.S. federal government.

 

In the three months ended March 31, 2017, our prime contracts with U.S. government agencies generated 61.9% of our revenue, subcontracts under federal procurements generated 27.2% of our revenue, and 10.9% of our revenue came from commercial contracts. The terms of these contracts and subcontracts vary from single transactions to five years. Within this group of prime contracts with U.S. government agencies, two individual contracts generated 22.3% and 13.0% of our revenue, respectively. One subcontract generated 18.1% of our revenue.

 

 

In the three months ended March 31, 2016, our prime contracts with U.S. government agencies generated 66.9% of our revenue, subcontracts under federal procurements generated 17.7% of our revenue, and 15.4% of our revenue came from commercial contracts. The terms of these contracts and subcontracts varied from single transactions to five years. Within this group of prime contracts with U.S. government agencies, two contracts generated 23.7% and 22.4% of our revenue, respectively. One commercial customer accounted for 10.6% of our revenue.

 

We sold third party software and maintenance contracts under agreements with two major suppliers. These sales accounted for 31.2% of total revenue in the first quarter of 2017 and 42.7% of revenue in the first quarter of 2016.

 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 versus Three Months Ended March 31, 2016

 

Revenue

 

Our revenues in the first quarter of 2017 were $1,481,648 compared to $1,468,326 in the corresponding quarter in 2016, an increase of $13,322, or 0.9%. Professional fees revenue was $1,020,033 in the first quarter of 2017 versus $841,037 in the corresponding quarter in 2016, an increase of $178,996, or 21.3%, and software revenue was $461,615 in the first quarter of 2017 versus $627,289 in the first quarter of 2016, a decrease of 26.4%. Revenue from professional fees increased due primarily to one new subcontract under a federal procurement, though there were several minor increases and decreases in activity under our other professional services contracts. The decrease in our software revenue in 2017 versus the same period in 2016 is due to the non-recurring nature of many of our software sales transactions. Software sales and associated margins are subject to considerable fluctuation from period to period, based on the product mix sold and referral fees earned.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit was $499,845, or 33.7% of revenue in the first quarter of 2017 versus $357,673, or 24.4% of revenue in the first quarter of 2016. For the quarter ended March 31, 2017, $485,287 of the gross profit was attributable to professional fees at a gross profit percentage of 47.6%, and $14,558 of the gross profit was attributable to software sales at a gross profit percentage of 3.2%. In the same quarter in 2016, we reported gross profit for professional fees of $292,644, or 34.8%, of professional fee revenue, and gross profit of $65,029, or 10.4% of software sales. Gross profit from professional fees increased with the increase in revenue. Gross profit on software sales decreased in terms of dollars and as a percentage of sales due to a decrease in referral fees for facilitating third-party sales, for which there were no direct costs incurred by us. Software product sales and associated margins are subject to considerable fluctuation from period to period, based on the product mix sold and referral fees earned.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses, exclusive of sales commissions, were $418,786, or 28.3% of revenues, in the first quarter of 2017 versus $516,970, or 35.2% of revenues, in the first quarter of 2016. These expenses decreased $98,184, or 19.0%, from the first quarter of 2016. The decreases are largely from decreases in overhead and sales labor, corresponding decreases in fringe benefits for that labor, and decreases in technical training and conferences.

 

Commission expense was $114,633, or 7.7% of revenues, in the first quarter of 2017 versus $53,403, or 3.6% of revenues, in the first quarter of 2016. This increase of $61,230, or 114.7%, is due to increases in gross profits on commissionable professional services contracts, which drive commission earned at varying rates for each salesperson.

 

Net loss

 

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2017, was $31,616, or 2.1% of revenue, versus net loss of $210,270, or 14.3% of revenue, for the same period in 2016.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our cash and cash equivalents balance, when combined with our cash flow from operations during the first three months of 2017, were sufficient to provide financing for our operations. Our net cash used by the combination of our operating and investing activities in the first three months of 2017 was $132,850. This net cash, when added to a beginning balance of $1,895,372, yielded cash and cash equivalents of $1,762,522 as of March 31, 2017. Prepaid expenses and other current assets decreased $230,420 due to the allocation over time of prepaid expenses associated with the maintenance contracts on software sales. Deferred revenue decreased $249,903 due to the recognition of revenue over time from maintenance contracts on software sales. Commissions payable decreased $36,500 due to payouts of existing commissions payable balances occurring faster than new commissions earned. We had no non-current liabilities as of March 31, 2017.

 

 

We have a revolving line of credit with a bank providing for demand or short-term borrowings of up to $1,000,000. The line expires on May 31, 2017. As of March 31, 2017, we were in default of a covenant to maintain a minimum tangible net worth of $1,800,000. Our bank has issued a waiver of the default through the expiration of the current term of the line of credit. At that time the bank will review our balance sheets and results of operations for 2017. We anticipate the bank will renew our line of credit with some adjustment to terms, covenants, or both, but we can provide no assurance that the bank will indeed renew the line of credit nor renew it under terms we deem favorable. As of March 31, 2017, no amounts were outstanding under this line of credit. We did not borrow against this line of credit in the last twelve months.

 

Given our current cash position and operating plan, we anticipate that we will be able to meet our cash requirements for at least twelve months from the date of filing of this Form 10-Q.

 

We presently lease our corporate offices on a contractual basis with certain timeframe commitments and obligations. We believe that our existing offices will be sufficient to meet our foreseeable facility requirement. Should we need additional space to accommodate increased activities, management believes we can secure such additional space on reasonable terms.

 

We have no material commitments for capital expenditures.

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and people performing similar functions, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of March 31, 2017 (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2017, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

 

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no control system can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a 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 a person, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected. Notwithstanding these limitations, we believe that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.
