AIR T, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

 

 

1.

Financial Statement Presentation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements of Air T, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the following disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented have been made.

 

It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2014. The results of operations for the periods ended September 30 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior quarter amounts to conform to the current quarter presentation.

 

New Accounting Pronouncement

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern". This ASU clarifies management's responsibility to evaluate and provide related disclosures if there are any conditions or events, as a whole, that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date the financial statements are issued. The FASB believes this will reduce diversity in the timing and content of going concern disclosures. This ASU is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of determining the method of adoption and assessing the impact of this ASU on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which will replace most 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 that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services. The ASU requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. The ASU will be effective for the Company beginning April 1, 2017, including interim periods in its fiscal year 2018, and allows for both full retrospective and modified retrospective methods of adoption. The Company is in the process of determining the method of adoption and assessing the impact of this ASU on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax laws and rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The income tax provisions for the respective three-month and six-month periods ended September 30, 2014 differ from the federal statutory rate as a result of state income taxes offset by permanent tax differences.

Net Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share has been calculated by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, shares issuable under employee and director stock options were considered potential common shares and were included in the weighted average common shares unless they were anti-dilutive.

For the three months ended September 30, 2013, options to acquire 11,000 shares of common stock, and for the six months ended September 30, 2013 options to acquire 23,500 shares of common stock, were not included in computing diluted earnings per common share because their effects were anti-dilutive. No options were anti-dilutive for three and six months ending September 30, 2014.

Financing Arrangements

 

The Company has a secured long-term revolving credit line with an expiration date of August 31, 2016. During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the maximum amount available under the revolving credit line was increased from $7,000,000 to $9,000,000 through December 31, 2014, with the maximum amount available returning to $7,000,000 on January 1, 2015. The revolving credit line contains customary events of default, a subjective acceleration clause and a fixed charge coverage requirement, with which the Company was in compliance at September 30, 2014. There is no requirement for the Company to maintain a lock-box arrangement under this agreement. The amount of credit available to the Company under the agreement at any given time is determined by an availability calculation, based on the eligible borrowing base, as defined in the credit agreement, which includes the Company’s outstanding receivables, inventories and equipment, with certain exclusions. At September 30, 2014, $9,000,000 was available under the terms of the credit facility with borrowings of $1,331,000 outstanding at September 30, 2014 (none at March 31, 2014). Amounts advanced under the credit facility bear interest at the 30-day “LIBOR” rate (.155% at September 30, 2014) plus 150 basis points.

 

The Company assumes various financial obligations and commitments in the normal course of its operations and financing activities. Financial obligations are considered to represent known future cash payments that the Company is required to make under existing contractual arrangements such as debt and lease agreements.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

Overview

 

The Company operates in three business segments. The overnight air cargo segment, comprised of the Company’s Mountain Air Cargo, Inc. (“MAC”) and CSA Air, Inc. (“CSA”) subsidiaries, operates in the air express delivery services industry. The ground equipment sales segment, comprised of the Company’s Global Ground Support, LLC (“GGS”) subsidiary, manufactures and provides mobile deicers and other specialized equipment products to passenger and cargo airlines, airports, the U.S. military and industrial customers. The ground support services segment, comprised of the Company’s Global Aviation Services, LLC (“GAS”) subsidiary, provides ground support equipment maintenance and facilities maintenance services to domestic airlines and aviation service providers. Each business segment has separate management teams and infrastructures that offer different products and services. The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on operating income. In March 2014, the Company formed Space Age Insurance Company (“SAIC”), a captive insurance company licensed in Utah, and initially capitalized with $250,000. SAIC insures risks of the Company and its subsidiaries that were not previously insured by the Company’s insurance programs; and underwrites third-party risk through certain reinsurance arrangements. The activities of SAIC are included within the corporate results in the accompanying financial statements. SAIC is structured as a single parent captive hybrid that both insures the risks of its affiliated entities and businesses, and for greater risk diversification and catastrophic risk coverage, participates in a reinsurance pool, which is arranged and administered by Artex Risk Solutions, Inc., a subsidiary of Arthur J. Gallagher & Co.

MAC and CSA provide small package overnight airfreight delivery services on a contract basis throughout the eastern half of the United States and the Caribbean. MAC and CSA’s revenues are derived principally pursuant to “dry-lease” service contracts with FedEx. Under the dry-lease service contracts, FedEx leases its aircraft to MAC and CSA for a nominal amount and pays a monthly administrative fee to MAC and CSA to operate the aircraft. Under these contracts, all direct costs related to the operation of the aircraft (including fuel, outside maintenance, landing fees and pilot costs) are passed through to FedEx without markup. These pass through costs totaled $7,696,000 and $7,167,000 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 and $15,047,000 and $14,912,000 for the six-month period ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. These agreements are renewable on two to five-year terms and may be terminated by FedEx at any time upon 30 days’ notice. The Company believes that the short term and other provisions of its agreements with FedEx are standard within the airfreight contract delivery service industry. FedEx has been a customer of the Company since 1980. Loss of its contracts with FedEx would have a material adverse effect on the Company. As previously reported in fiscal 2014, MAC and CSA had been in the process of negotiating replacement agreements with FedEx, but the contract negotiations had been put on hold. Recently the contract negotiations resumed but they remain in the very early stages. The terms of the replacement agreements may differ from the terms of our current agreements, which may affect our results going forward.

  

As of September 30, 2014, MAC and CSA had an aggregate of 79 aircraft under agreement with FedEx. Separate agreements cover the three types of aircraft operated by MAC and CSA for FedEx -- Cessna Caravan, ATR-42 and ATR-72. Pursuant to such agreements, FedEx determines the schedule of routes to be flown by MAC and CSA. Included within the 79 aircraft are three Cessna Caravan aircraft that are considered soft-parked. These aircraft remain covered under MAC’s agreements with FedEx although at a reduced administrative fee compared to aircraft currently in operation. MAC continues to perform maintenance on the aircraft, but they are not crewed and MAC does not currently operate the aircraft on scheduled routes. The administrative revenue related to a Cessna Caravan is significantly less than the administrative revenue related to the operation of the ATR aircraft.

 

MAC and CSA combined contributed approximately $23,652,000 and $24,529,000 to the Company’s revenues for the six-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, a current year decrease of $877,000 (-4%).

 

GGS manufactures and supports aircraft deicers and other specialized industrial equipment on a worldwide basis. GGS manufactures five basic models of mobile deicing equipment with capacities ranging from 700 to 2,800 gallons. GGS also provides fixed-pedestal-mounted deicers. Each model can be customized as requested by the customer, including single operator configuration, fire suppressant equipment, open basket or enclosed cab design, a patented forced-air deicing nozzle and on-board glycol blending system to substantially reduce glycol usage, color and style of the exterior finish. GGS also manufactures five models of scissor-lift equipment, for catering, cabin service and maintenance service of aircraft, and has developed a line of decontamination equipment, flight-line tow tractors, glycol recovery vehicles and other special purpose mobile equipment.

In July 2009, GGS was awarded a new contract to supply deicing trucks to the USAF, which expired in July 2014. On May 15, 2014, GGS was awarded a new contract to supply deicing trucks to the USAF. The initial contract award is for two years through July 13, 2016 with four additional one-year extension options that may be exercised by the USAF. The value of the contract, as well as the number of units to be delivered, depends upon annual requirements and available funding to the USAF.

 

In September 2010, GGS was awarded a contract to supply flight-line tow tractors to the USAF. The contract award was for one year commencing September 28, 2010 with four additional one-year extension options that may be exercised by the USAF. In August 2014, the fourth and final option was exercised, which extended the contract through September 27, 2015.

 

GGS contributed approximately $23,263,000 and $13,144,000 to the Company’s revenues for the six-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, representing a $10,119,000 (77%) increase. At September 30, 2014, GGS’s order backlog was $15.3 million as compared to $14.4 million at March 31, 2014 and $11.9 million at September 30, 2013.

 

GAS was formed in September 2007 to operate the aircraft ground support equipment and airport facility maintenance services business of the Company. GAS provides aircraft ground support equipment and airport facility maintenance services to a wide variety of customers at a number of locations throughout the country.

 

GAS contributed approximately $9,488,000 and $7,797,000 to the Company’s revenues for the six-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, representing a $1,691,000 (22%) increase.

  

Second Quarter Highlights

 

For the second quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company’s revenues increased by $10,435,000 (43%) from the prior year comparable quarter. Operating income increased by $1,844,000 (245%) in the same second quarter compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in revenues and operating income were primarily due to higher GGS sales and profitability.

 

Revenues from the air cargo segment decreased by $150,000 (-1%) compared to the second quarter of the prior fiscal year, while operating income decreased by $287,000 (-51%). The revenue decrease was principally due to reduced administrative fees due to two fewer Cessna 208 aircraft in operations in the current year quarter compared to the prior year period and lower maintenance labor revenues, partially offset by increased pass through costs for fuel and pilot travel. The decrease in operating income is related to an increase in salaries, employment related taxes and benefits, as well as a $100,000 penalty in connection with one instance, which occurred in 2012, of regulatory documentation noncompliance at the Kinston maintenance location which has been remediated.

 

Revenues for GGS increased by $10,044,000 (127%) compared to the second quarter of the prior fiscal year. Approximately $4,800,000 of the increase in revenue is attributable to the shipment of deicing units that had been delayed at June 30, 2014 as noted in the June 30, 2014 Form 10-Q and shipments on orders placed under the final option period of the expiring USAF deicer contract representing approximately 15% of GGS’s revenues for the quarter. GGS had operating income of approximately $2,924,000 for the quarter, compared to operating income of $453,000 in the prior year’s comparable quarter, a $2,471,000 positive impact. Operating income increased as a result of the impact of the delay in shipment into the second quarter (where associated expense had been recognized in prior periods), efficiencies in production, and increased parts and service volume as customers experience some early winter weather.  Order flow at GGS remains above last years' levels, with backlog at September 30, 2014 of $15.3 million as compared to $11.9 million at September 30, 2013 and $14.4 million at March 31, 2014.

 

Revenues from our GAS subsidiary increased by $541,000 (13%) compared to the second quarter of the prior fiscal year as a result of the Company’s continuing growth into new markets, growth in services offered to new and existing customers, strong period part sales and the recent contract renewal with their largest customer.  Operating income for the same period decreased $217,000 as company expenses have risen with infrastructure changes to help position the Company for growth, including for leadership and marketing roles, facility upgrades and additional controls.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the use of estimates and assumptions to determine certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management bases these estimates and assumptions upon the best information available at the time of the estimates or assumptions. The Company’s estimates and assumptions could change materially as conditions within and beyond our control change. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from estimates. The Company believes that the following are its most significant accounting policies:

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts receivable is established based on management’s estimates of the collectability of accounts receivable. The required allowance is determined using information such as customer credit history, industry information, credit reports, customer financial condition and the collectability of outstanding accounts receivables. The estimates can be affected by changes in the financial strength of the aviation industry, customer credit issues or general economic conditions.

 

Inventories. The Company’s inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Provisions for excess and obsolete inventories are based on assessment of the marketability of slow-moving and obsolete inventories. Historical parts usage, current period sales, estimated future demand and anticipated transactions between willing buyers and sellers provide the basis for estimates. Estimates are subject to volatility and can be affected by reduced equipment utilization, existing supplies of used inventory available for sale, the retirement of aircraft or ground equipment and changes in the financial strength of the aviation industry.

 

Warranty Reserves. The Company warranties its ground equipment products for up to a three-year period from date of sale. Product warranty reserves are recorded at time of sale based on the historical average warranty cost and are adjusted quarterly as actual warranty cost becomes known.

 

Income Taxes. Income taxes have been provided using the liability method. Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting purposes using enacted rates expected to be in effect during the year in which the basis differences reverse.

 

Revenue Recognition. Cargo revenue is recognized upon completion of contract terms. Maintenance and ground support services revenue is recognized when the service has been performed. Revenue from product sales is recognized when contract terms are completed and ownership has passed to the customer.

 

Seasonality

 

GGS’s business has historically been seasonal, reflecting seasonal variations in commercial deicer sales with revenues and operating income for the segment typically being lower in the first and fourth fiscal quarters. The Company had worked to reduce GGS’s seasonal fluctuation in revenues and earnings by increasing military and international sales and broadening its product line to increase revenues and earnings throughout the year. In July 2009, GGS was awarded a new contract to supply deicing trucks to the USAF, which expired in July 2014. On May 15, 2014, GGS was awarded a new contract to supply deicing trucks to the USAF. The initial contract award is for two years through July 13, 2016 with four additional one-year extension options that may be exercised by the USAF. The overnight air cargo and ground support services segments do not experience pronounced seasonal variations.

 

Results of Operations

 

Second Quarter 2015 Compared to Second Quarter 2014

 

Consolidated revenue increased $10,435,000 (43%) to $34,624,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2014 compared to its equivalent prior period. The increase in revenues is principally due to an increase in sales in the ground equipment sales segment. Revenue in the ground equipment sales segment increased $10,044,000 (127%) as a result of increases in military deicer sales and commercial deicer sales. As noted above, approximately $4,800,000 of the increase in revenue is attributable to the shipment of deicing units that had been delayed at June 30, 2014 as noted in the June 30, 2014 Form 10-Q. Revenues in the ground support services segment increased $541,000 (13%), as a result of the company’s continuing growth in locations and in services offered to new and existing customers.

 

Revenues from our air cargo segment decreased by $150,000 (-1%) compared to the second quarter of the prior fiscal year. The revenue decrease was principally due to reduced administrative fees due to two fewer Cessna 208 aircraft in operations in the current year quarter compared to the prior year period and lower maintenance labor revenues, partially offset by increased pass through costs for fuel and pilot travel.

Operating expenses increased $8,591,000 (37%) to $32,028,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2014 compared to its equivalent prior period. A principal component of the increase was a $7,209,000 (112%) increase in ground equipment sales segment operating expenses, relating to the 127% increase in segment revenue.  At September 30, 2014, GGS’s order backlog was $15,300,000 as compared to $21,800,000 at June 30, 2014.

 

Ground support services segment operating costs increased by $551,000 (16%) driven primarily by the current quarter’s 13% increase in revenues. Air cargo operating expenses decreased by $55,185 (-2%) compared to the prior year comparable period primarily due to reduced maintenance labor costs which correlates to the reduction in associated revenue. Of the segment’s $10,620,000 of operating costs, $7,696,000 was costs passed through to our air cargo customer without markup. 

 

General and administrative expenses increased $930,000 (33%) to $3,748,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2014 compared to its equivalent prior period. The principal components of this increase relate to salaries, profit sharing, payroll services, contract labor, and employee related benefits.

 

Operating income for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 was $2,597,000, a $1,844,000 (234%) increase from the same quarter of the prior year. The ground equipment sales segment had a $2,471,000 increase in its operating income as a result of military and commercial deicer sales in the current quarter compared to the prior quarter and the impact of the delayed shipment and production efficiencies discussed above. The ground support services segment saw a $217,000 (-70%) decrease in its operating income as company expenses have risen with infrastructure changes to help position the company for growth, including for leadership and marketing roles, facility upgrades and additional controls. The overnight air cargo segment saw a $287,000 (-51%) decrease in operating income related to an increase in salaries, employment related taxes and benefits, as well as a $100,000 penalty in connection with one instance, which occurred in 2012, of regulatory documentation noncompliance at the Kinston maintenance location which has been remediated.

 

Pretax earnings increased $1,827,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2014 compared to the prior year comparable period, primarily due to the increases in the ground equipment sales.

 

During the three-month period ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded $767,000 in income tax expense, which resulted in an estimated annual tax rate of 30%, compared to a 39.8% tax rate in the comparable quarter in 2013. The estimated annual effective tax rates for both periods differ from the U. S. federal statutory rate of 34% primarily due to the effect of state income taxes and permanent benefits.

 

First Six Months of Fiscal 2015 Compared to First Six Months of Fiscal 2014

 

Consolidated revenue increased $10,933,000 to $56,403,000 for the six-month period ended September 30, 2014 compared to its equivalent prior period. Revenues in the ground equipment sales segment increased $10,119,000 (77%) comprised of an increase in military sales and an increase in commercial sales. Revenues in the ground support services segment were up $1,691,000 (22%), resulting from the addition of new customers and locations over the past year. Revenues in the air cargo segment were down $877,000 (-4%), principally due to reduced administrative fees due to two fewer Cessna 208 aircraft in operations in the current year period compared to the prior year and lower maintenance labor revenues, partially offset by increased pass through costs for fuel and pilot travel.

 

Operating expenses increased $9,211,000 for the six-month period ended September 30, 2014 compared to its equivalent prior period. Ground equipment sales segment operating costs increased $7,305,000 (69%) driven primarily by the current period’s increase in revenues. Ground support services segment operating expenses increased $1,514,000 (24%) following the increase in revenues, in addition to infrastructure changes described above. Air cargo segment operating expenses decreased $622,000 (-3%), primarily due to reduced maintenance labor billable hours which correlates to the reduction in associated revenue. Of the segment’s $20,812,000 of operating costs, $15,047,000 was costs passed through to our air cargo customer without markup. General and administrative expenses increased $1,214,000 (21%) for the six-month period ended September 30, 2014 compared to its equivalent prior period. The principal components of this increase relate to salaries, profit sharing, payroll services, contract labor, and employee related benefits.

 

Operating income for the six-month period ended September 30, 2014 was $2,695,000, a $1,722,000 (177%) increase from the same period of the prior year. The overnight air cargo segment saw a $414,000 (-33%) decrease in its operating income. The ground equipment sales segment experienced a $2,284,000 (498%) increase in its operating income in the six-month period ended September 30, 2014. The ground support services segment saw a $246,000 (-44%) decrease in its operating income for the period.

Non-operating income decreased $12,000 for the six-month period ended September 30, 2014.

 

Pretax earnings increased $1,711,000 for the six-month period ended September 30, 2014 compared to the prior comparable period.

 

During the six-month period ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded $804,000 in income tax expense, which resulted in an estimated annual tax rate of 30%, compared to the rate of 39.6% for the comparable prior period. The estimated annual effective tax rates for both periods differ from the U. S. federal statutory rate of 34% primarily due to the effect of state income taxes offset by permanent tax differences.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2014 the Company's working capital amounted to $24,560,000 an increase of $2,428,000 compared to March 31, 2014.

 

The Company has a secured long-term revolving credit line with an expiration date of August 31, 2016. During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the maximum amount available under the revolving credit line was increased from $7,000,000 to $9,000,000 through December 31, 2014, with the maximum amount available returning to $7,000,000 on January 1, 2015. The revolving credit line contains customary events of default, a subjective acceleration clause and a fixed charge coverage requirement, with which the Company was in compliance at September 30, 2014. There is no requirement for the Company to maintain a lock-box arrangement under this agreement. The amount of credit available to the Company under the agreement at any given time is determined by an availability calculation, based on the eligible borrowing base, as defined in the credit agreement, which includes the Company’s outstanding receivables, inventories and equipment, with certain exclusions. At September 30, 2014, $9,000,000 was available for borrowing under the credit line with borrowings of $1,331,000 outstanding at September 30, 2014 (none at March 31, 2014).

 

Amounts advanced under the credit facility bear interest at the 30-day “LIBOR” rate plus 150 basis points. The LIBOR rate at September 30, 2014 was .155%. The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates on its line of credit with respect to any borrowings outstanding under the line of credit. If the LIBOR interest rate had been increased by one percentage point, based on the outstanding balance under the line of credit at September 30, 2014, interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014 would have increased by approximately $3,300.

 

Following is a table of changes in cash flow for the respective periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

 

   

Six Months Ended September 30,

 
   

2014

   

2013

 
                 

Net Cash (Used in) Provided by Operating Activities

  $ (576,000 )   $ (5,429,000 )

Net Cash (Used in) Investing Activities

    (4,191,000 )     (144,000 )

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

    1,218,000       49,000  
                 

Net Decrease in Cash and Cash Equivalents

  $ (3,549,000 )   $ (5,524,000 )

 

 

Cash used in operating activities was $4,853,000 less for the six-month period ended September 30, 2014 compared to the similar prior year period, resulting from a variety of offsetting factors. The most significant factor was net income which increased substantially during the current period reflecting the significant increase in ground equipment sales. This change was somewhat offset by related movements in accounts receivable and inventories.

 

Cash used in investing activities for the six-month period ended September 30, 2014 was $4,047,000 more than the comparable prior year period due primarily to the increase in purchases of investment securities available for sale. Capital expenditures for the six month period ended September 30, 2014 include $1,132,000 for four commercial deicing trucks added to leased equipment in September 2014. These deicing trucks had previously been included in inventory.

 

Cash provided by financing activities was $1,169,000 more in the six-month period ended September 30, 2014, than in the corresponding prior year period due to an increase in borrowings under the line of credit of $1,331,000 offset by a $734,000 decrease in the annual cash dividend paid to shareholders. In May 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a policy to discontinue payment of a regularly scheduled annual cash dividend.

Impact of Inflation

 

The Company believes that inflation has not had a material effect on its operations, because increased costs to date have been passed on to its customers. Under the terms of its air cargo business contracts the major cost components of its operations, consisting principally of fuel, crew and other direct operating costs, and certain maintenance costs are reimbursed, without markup by its customer. Significant increases in inflation rates or a change in air cargo contracts, shifting the risk of these cost increases to the Company, could have a material impact on future revenue and operating income.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, referred to collectively herein as the Certifying Officers, are responsible for establishing and maintaining our disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information relating to the Company required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Certifying Officers have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 240.13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of September 30, 2014. As a result of material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 and the completion as of September 30, 2014 of only a portion of the remediation to address this material weakness, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2014, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. However, we believe that the consolidated financial statements in this quarterly report fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s consolidated financial condition as of September 30, 2014 and 2013, and consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for the six-month periods then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

 

At September 30, 2014, as part of the Company’s plan to remediate this material weakness, the Company had partially completed the education of appropriate internal accounting personnel, and had engaged a third-party advisory firm, to strengthen the level of review and validation performed over the financial statement income tax provision.

 

Other than as described above, there has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
