NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial information included herein has been prepared by Cascade Microtech, Inc. without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). However, such information reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. The financial information as of December 31, 2012 is derived from our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Note 2. Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost, which approximates cost computed on a first-in, first-out basis, or market, and include materials, labor and manufacturing overhead. Demonstration goods, which are included as a component of finished goods, represent inventory that is used for customer demonstration purposes. This inventory is typically sold after 12 to 18 months. We analyze the carrying value of our inventory quarterly, considering a combination of factors including, but not limited to, the following: forecasted sales or usage, historical usage rates, estimated service period, product end-of-life dates, estimated current and future market values, service inventory requirements and new product introductions. We estimate market value based on factors including, but not limited to, replacement cost and estimated resale value. Based on these analyses, we recorded inventory charges as follows (in thousands):

Note 4. Product Warranty
We estimate a liability for costs to repair or replace products under warranty for a period of approximately 12 to 24 months when the related product revenue is recognized. The liability for product warranties is calculated as a percentage of sales. The percentage is based on historical product repair costs. The liability for product warranties is included in Accrued liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 5. Acquisition of the Reliability Test Product Division of Aetrium Incorporated
On July 31, 2013, we acquired certain assets of the Reliability Test Product (RTP) division of Aetrium Incorporated for $1.9 million in cash (the RTP Acquisition), and contingent consideration of up to $1.5 million payable between 9 and 18 months from the date of acquisition. The contingent consideration is payable based on the revenue generated by RTP between August 1, 2013 and April 30, 2014 and any claims against the Sellers indemnification obligations through February 1, 2015. The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined to be $1.3 million as of the acquisition date, with $1.1 million being recorded as Accrued liabilities and $0.2 million being recorded as Other long-term liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2013. The fair value of the contingent consideration will be reviewed quarterly, with changes being reflected as a component of Selling, general and administrative expenses.
We believe the RTP Acquisition expands our product portfolio and served available market while leveraging our existing sales and service channel. The results of operations of the RTP Acquisition are included in our Systems segment.
The allocation of the purchase price for the RTP Acquisition was as follows (dollars in thousands):
Useful Life | ||||||||
Current assets |
$ | 1,198 | | |||||
Fixed assets |
17 | 2 years | ||||||
Goodwill |

Other intangible assets: |

1,420 | ||||||||
Current liabilities |
(62 | ) | | |||||
|
|
|||||||
Net assets acquired |
$ | 3,214 | ||||||
|
|
The key factor attributable to the creation of goodwill by the transaction is the assembled workforce. All of the goodwill and purchased intangibles are expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The weighted average amortization period for all intangible assets acquired is 7.4 years.
Transaction costs of $0.2 million associated with the RTP Acquisition were expensed as incurred as a component of Selling, general and administrative expenses.
7
RTPs results of operations have been included in our consolidated financial statements subsequent to the date of acquisition. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effect of the acquisition was not material to prior period financial statements. Revenue related to RTP since the date of acquisition was $0.1 million in the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013. Earnings information since the date of acquisition was not material to the current period financial statements.

Note 8. Line of Credit
In August 2013, we entered into a line of credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. for a maximum $10.0 million line of credit facility (the LOC), which may be limited by a borrowing base. The LOC expires August 31, 2015 and contains a $2.5 million sublimit for letters of credit. Interest is based primarily on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). The LOC contains restrictive and financial covenants. At September 30, 2013, no amounts were outstanding under the LOC, no letters of credit were outstanding, $10.0 million was available for borrowing and we were in compliance with all covenants.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In January 2013, pursuant to the terms of our 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), and upon approval by our Board of Directors, the number of shares of our common stock available for purchase under the ESPP was increased from 850,000 to 950,000. Employees purchased 52,161 shares in the first nine months of 2013 for $0.2 million under the ESPP.
Note 10. Stock Repurchase Program
In November 2012, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program under which up to $2.0 million of our common stock could be repurchased from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. In the first nine months of 2013, we repurchased $58,000, or 9,800 shares, of our common stock at a weighted-average price of $5.87 per share. As of September 30, 2013, $1.6 million of our common stock remained available for repurchase under this program.
Note 11. Segment Reporting
The segment data below is presented in the same manner that management currently organizes the segments for assessing certain performance trends. Our Chief Operating Decision Maker monitors the revenue streams and the operating income of our Systems sales and our Probes sales. We do not track our assets on a segment level, and, accordingly, that information is not provided.
Revenue and operating income information by segment was as follows (dollars in thousands):

In preparing this financial information, certain expenses were allocated between the segments based on management estimates, while others were based on specific factors such as headcount. These factors can have a significant impact on the amount of income (loss) from operations for each segment. While we believe we have applied a reasonable methodology, assignment of other reasonable cost allocations to each segment could result in materially different segment income (loss) from operations.
No customer accounted for 10% or greater of our total revenue from continuing operations in the three or nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 or 2012.
Note 12. Fair Value Measurements
Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities and are summarized into three broad categories:
| Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical securities; |
| Level 2 other significant observable inputs, including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment spreads, and credit risk; and |
| Level 3 significant unobservable inputs, including our own assumptions in determining fair value. |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The disclosures related to our financial assets and (liabilities) that are reported at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows (in thousands):

$ | 1,300 | Level 3 | $ | | |
The fair value of our marketable securities is determined based on quoted market prices for similar or identical securities. The fair value of our forward contracts is based on quoted market prices for similar securities and is used for the purpose of determining any gain or loss on our foreign currency positions. We do not record the full value of the forward contracts on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We record the net unrealized gain or loss in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and as a component of Other income (expense).
The fair value of the contingent consideration related to the RTP Acquisition is determined based on the present value of probability weighted payments expected to be made under the terms of the agreement.
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short maturities.
No changes were made to our valuation techniques during the first nine months of 2013.

Note 14. Recent Accounting Guidance
ASU 2013-11
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. ASU 2013-11 amends the guidance related to the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits and allows for the reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss (NOL) carryforward whenever the NOL or tax credit carryforward would be available to reduce the additional taxable income or tax due if the tax position is disallowed. ASU 2013-11 is effective for annual and interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013, and early adoption is permitted. Since ASU 2013-11 relates only to the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits, we do not expect our adoption of ASU 2013-11 in January 2014 will have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ASU 2012-02
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Intangibles Goodwill and Other: Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment, which permits an entity to make a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset, other than goodwill, is impaired. Entities are required to test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually and more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. If an entity concludes, based on an evaluation of all relevant qualitative factors, that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, it is not required to perform the quantitative impairment test for that asset. Because the qualitative assessment is optional, an entity is permitted to bypass it for any indefinite-lived intangible asset in any period and apply the quantitative test. ASU 2012-02 also permits the entity to resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. ASU 2012-02 is effective for impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2012-02 in January 2013 did not have any impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
12
ASU 2013-02
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. Under ASU 2013-02, an entity is required to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about those amounts. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 in January 2013 did not have any impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 15. Subsequent Event
Acquisition of ATT Advanced Temperature Test Systems GmbH (ATT Systems)
On October 1, 2013, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of ATT Systems for total consideration of 9.2 million euro, or approximately $12.4 million, net of cash acquired of approximately 0.4 million euro, and 1.6 million shares of our common stock with a value of $14.5 million. Approximately 8.8 million euro were paid at closing, with the remaining 0.8 million euro to be paid over 24 months, subject to adjustments for working capital and any claims related to representations and warranties. Transaction costs of $0.4 million through September 30, 2013 were expensed as incurred as a component of Selling, general and administrative expenses.
The required financial statements of ATT Systems and the related pro forma financial information will be filed on a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission as soon as practicable, but not later than December 17, 2013, which is the permitted 71 calendar days from the date that the Form 8-K announcing the ATT Systems acquisition was due.

General
We design, develop, manufacture and market advanced wafer probing and reliability solutions for the electrical measurement and testing of high performance semiconductor devices. Our products enable precision on-wafer measurement of integrated circuits. Our products are typically used in the early phases of the development of semiconductor processes where the accuracy and repeatability of measurements is critical to achieving yield from advanced process nodes. We design, manufacture and assemble our products in Beaverton, Oregon, North St. Paul, Minnesota, and Dresden, Germany and maintain global sales, service and support centers in North America, Germany, Japan, Taiwan, China and Singapore.
We operate in two business segments: Systems and Probes. Sales of our probe stations and reliability test systems are included in the Systems segment and sales of our analytical probes and production probe cards are included in the Probes segment.
Probe stations provide precise and accurate measurement of semiconductor electrical characteristics during device design or when optimizing the chip fabrication process. Reliability test systems are used during fabrication process definition and monitoring to assess the intrinsic reliability of materials and devices. Our probe stations and reliability test systems are highly configurable. Probe stations are typically sold with various accessories, including our analytical probes, as well as accessories from third parties. In addition, we design and build custom probe stations to address the specific requirements of our customers. We also generate revenue through the sale of service contracts for our stations.
Our analytical probes are sold to serve as components of our probe stations, or less often, to serve as components of test equipment manufactured by third parties. Our production probe cards are designed and sold for high-volume production test applications, ranging from very low current parametric testing to sophisticated, high-speed radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) testing. These probe cards are used in conjunction with third party equipment from manufacturers such as Advantest, Agilent and Teradyne.
Recent Acquisitions
On July 31, 2013, we acquired certain assets of the Reliability Test Product (RTP) division of Aetrium Incorporated for $1.9 million in cash (the RTP Acquisition), and contingent consideration of up to $1.5 million payable between 9 and 18 months from the date of acquisition. We believe the RTP Acquisition expands our product portfolio and served available market while leveraging our existing sales and service channel. The results of operations of the RTP Acquisition have been included in our Systems segment. Revenue related to RTP since the date of acquisition was $0.1 million in the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013. Earnings information since the date of acquisition was not material to the current period financial statements. For additional information about the RTP Acquisition, see Note 5 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
On October 1, 2013, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of ATT Systems for total consideration of (a) 9.2 million euro (or approximately $12.4 million), net of cash acquired of approximately 0.4 million euro and (b) 1.6 million shares of our common stock with a value of $14.5 million. Approximately 8.8 million euro were paid at closing, with the remaining 0.8 million euro to be paid over 24 months. Transaction costs of $0.4 million through September 30, 2013 were expensed as incurred as a component of Selling, general and administrative expenses. For additional information about the ATT Acquisition, see Note 15 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Overview
Revenue in the first nine months of 2013 increased to $86.0 million compared to $82.6 million in the first nine months of 2012, as a result of increased revenue in both our Probes segment and our Systems segment. Income from operations was $5.1 million in the first nine months of 2013 compared to $5.3 million in the first nine months of 2012.
Outlook
Based on our current backlog, projected bookings and scheduled shipments, we anticipate revenues will be in the range of $34 million to $38 million for the fourth quarter of 2013.
14
Critical Accounting Policies and the Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that have become increasingly difficult to make in the current economic environment. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
On an on-going basis we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, bad debts, inventory, lives and recoverability of equipment and other long-lived assets, warranty obligations, deferred income tax assets, unrecognized income tax benefits, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We reaffirm the critical accounting policies and estimates as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 4, 2013.

Systems
The increase in Systems revenue in the three-month period ended September 30, 2013, compared to the same period of 2012, was primarily due to the RTP Acquisition during the third quarter of 2013. Revenue related to the RTP Acquisition for the third quarter of 2013 was $0.1 million.
The increase in Systems revenue in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, compared to the same period of 2012, was primarily related to an increase in average selling price (ASP) due to product sales mix and a decrease in discounts. We sold a higher number of 300mm and special application systems as a percentage of total sales in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 than in the comparable period of 2012. The increase in revenue was negatively impacted by an overall decrease in unit sales.
Probes
The increases in Probes revenue in the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, compared to the same periods of 2012, were primarily the result of increases in sales volume, partially offset by decreases in ASP due to changes in sales mix and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We sold a higher number of lower-priced small core probes as a percentage of total sales in the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 than in the comparable periods of 2012 due to an increased number of design wins.

Systems
The increases in Systems gross margins in the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, compared to the same periods of 2012, were primarily due to decreases in discounts, material costs and warranty costs, and increases in factory utilization due to shifts in product mix, which resulted in lower unallocated fixed costs recorded as a period expense in cost of sales. Gross margins in the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 were negatively impacted by increases in inventory reserve charges for excess and obsolete inventory.
Probes
The increase in Probes gross margins in the three-month period ended September 30, 2013, compared to the same period of 2012, was primarily due to higher sales volume, which resulted in lower unallocated fixed overhead costs recorded as a period expense in cost of sales, partially offset by changes in sales mix.
The decrease in Probes gross margins in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, compared to the same period of 2012, was primarily due to changes in sales mix and changes in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by higher sales volume, which resulted in lower unallocated fixed overhead costs recorded as a period expense in cost of sales.
Overall
The overall increases in gross margins in the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same periods of 2012 were a result of the fluctuations in Systems and Probes gross margins as discussed above.

Research and development for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013 was consistent with the same period of 2012, as a $0.2 million decrease in project-related expenses was offset by a $0.2 million decrease in government grant reimbursements.
The decrease in research and development for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period of 2012 was primarily due to a $0.3 million decrease in project-related expenses, partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in government grant reimbursements.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative, or SG&A, expense includes compensation and related expenses for personnel, travel, outside services, manufacturers representative commissions, purchased intangible asset amortization and overhead incurred in our sales, marketing, customer support, management, legal and other professional and administrative support functions, as well as costs to operate as a public company.

The increase in SG&A expense in the three-month period ended September 30, 2013, compared to the same period of 2012, was primarily due to a $0.6 million increase in acquisition related costs, a $0.4 million increase in salaries and benefits, and a $0.3 million increase in internal and external sales commissions.
The increase in SG&A expense in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, compared to the same period of 2012, was primarily due to a $1.0 million increase in salaries and benefits, a $0.6 million increase in acquisition related costs, a $0.4 million increase in travel, meals and entertainments expenses, a $0.4 million increase in external and internal sales commissions, a $0.2 million increase in demo expense, and a $0.1 million increase in stock-based compensation, partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in amortization expense and a $0.1 million decrease in severance expense.
In addition, the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 included a $0.1 million charge related to an adjustment to our lease restructuring reserve, compared to no similar charge in the 2012 period.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) typically includes interest income, interest expense, gains and losses on foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency gains and losses. Other income (expense) can also include other miscellaneous non-operating gains and losses.

Interest income, net primarily represents interest earned on cash and cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities.
Foreign currency gains and losses primarily result from a combination of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and the net value of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in yen, euro and other foreign currencies.

(0.4 | )% | 9.3 | % | 5.8 | % | 6.9 | % |
Our income tax expense (benefit) in the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 primarily related to estimated tax expense on income in foreign tax jurisdictions. Income tax expense (benefit) for 2013 includes a $0.1 million benefit related to our 2012 federal tax return recorded as a discrete item in the third quarter of 2013.
We periodically evaluate the potential realization of our deferred income tax assets and, if necessary, record a valuation allowance to reduce the net carrying value of such assets to the amount expected to be realized. We evaluated the potential realization of deferred income tax assets as of September 30, 2013 and concluded that the existing valuation allowance was required. It is at least reasonably possible that, within the next twelve months, a review of the objective evidence may indicate that a portion, or all, of our valuation allowance will no longer be required. If such a determination is made, release of the valuation allowance would be recognized as an income tax benefit to continuing operations in the period in which such assessment is made and the amount recognized could be material.
As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, deferred tax assets totaled $10.4 million and our valuation allowance totaled $9.8 million. Net operating loss carryforwards, on a tax-effected basis, totaled $3.5 million as of September 30, 2013.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of 2013 was $10.3 million and primarily consisted of our net income of $4.6 million, net non-cash expenses of $4.8 million and net changes in our operating assets and liabilities as described below.
Accounts receivable, net decreased by $2.7 million to $18.4 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $21.1 million at December 31, 2012, primarily due to the timing of sales and collections.
Inventories decreased by $0.9 million to $23.4 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $24.3 million at December 31, 2012. The decrease in inventory was primarily related to inventory charges of $1.1 million in the first nine months of 2013 for excess and obsolete inventory and sales of finished goods. These decreases were partially offset by $0.9 million of inventory acquired from the RTP Acquisition. If our actual results are significantly different than our current expectations for 2013, we may incur additional charges to write down inventory in future periods.
19
Deferred revenue decreased by $2.0 million to $1.9 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $3.9 million at December 31, 2012, primarily due to two large orders recognized in the first nine months of 2013 that had previously been deferred.
Other long-term liabilities decreased by $0.8 million to $2.1 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $2.9 million at December 31, 2012, primarily due to a decrease in accrued lease abandonment costs offset partially by a $0.2 million contingent payable related to the RTP Acquisition.
Fixed asset purchases of $1.1 million in the first nine months of 2013 primarily related to production-related equipment, business information systems, research and development tools and information technology equipment. We anticipate fixed asset additions for all of 2013 to be approximately $1.7 million.
In July 2013, we utilized $1.9 million of cash for the RTP Acquisition. Additional contingent consideration of up to $1.5 million will be paid out between 9 and 18 months from the acquisition date. See Note 5 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
In October 2013, we utilized $11.4 million of cash, net of cash acquired, for the acquisition of ATT Advanced Temperature Test Systems GmbH (ATT Systems). We may pay an additional $1.0 million prior to the second anniversary of the acquisition date. See Note 15 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
In November 2012, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program under which up to $2.0 million of our common stock could be repurchased from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. During the first nine months of 2013, a total of 9,800 shares were repurchased at an average price of $5.87 per share, for a total purchase price of $0.1 million. As of September 30, 2013, $1.6 million remained available for repurchases. This plan does not have an expiration date.
In August 2013, we entered into a line of credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. for a maximum $10.0 million line of credit facility (the LOC), which may be limited by a borrowing base. The LOC expires August 31, 2015 and contains a $2.5 million sublimit for letters of credit. Interest is based primarily on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). The LOC contains restrictive and financial covenants. At September 30, 2013, no amounts were outstanding under the LOC, no letters of credit were outstanding, $10.0 million was available for borrowing and we were in compliance with all covenants.
Changes in our assets and liabilities as presented on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows do not equal the changes in such assets and liabilities as calculated for our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets due to the effects of fluctuating foreign exchange rates.
We anticipate meeting our cash requirements for the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future from existing cash and cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities, which totaled $32.2 million at September 30, 2013. In addition, we have $10 million available under the LOC as discussed above.
We continue to evaluate opportunities for acquisition and expansion and any such transactions, if consummated, may use a portion of our cash and marketable securities or may result in the issuance by us of debt or equity securities. Issuances of debt securities would increase our leverage and interest exposure; issuances of equity securities could dilute the ownership interest of equity shareholders.

Seasonality
Typically, our first quarter revenues are lower than our revenues from the preceding fourth quarter. In addition, as is typical in our industry, we recognize a large percentage of our quarterly revenue in the last month of the quarter. However, our seasonality can be affected by general economic trends and it should not be expected that historical revenue patterns will continue.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
There have been no material changes in our reported market risks or risk management policies since the filing of our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 4, 2013.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Limitation on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all occurrences of fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control systems are met. In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of all
21
controls must be considered relative to their costs. Control systems can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. In addition, over time controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that the control systems will detect all control issues, including instances of fraud, if any.
Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 includes a detailed discussion of our risk factors. There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Accordingly, the information in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the risk factors and information disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 4, 2013.
