Cash and cash equivalents
|
Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments.
The Company maintains cash balances at one financial institution in the PRC, which are insured by China Citic Bank. The Company has cash concentration risk of $22,684,648 as of August 31, 2011.
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and determined based on managements’ assessment of known requirements, aging of receivables, payment history, the customers’ current credit worthiness and the economic environment.
Inventories include material, labor and manufacturing overhead and are stated at lower of cost or market value, cost being determined on a weighted average method. The Company periodically reviews historical sales activity to determine excess, slow moving items and potentially obsolete items and also evaluates the impact of any anticipated changes in future demand. The Company provides inventory allowances based on excess and obsolete inventories determined principally by customer demand. As of August 31, 2011, the Company did not record an allowance for obsolete inventories, nor have there been any write-offs.
Technical know-how represents the developed product technology acquired from a third party and is carried at its purchase cost, net of accumulated amortization. The Company determined that the estimated useful life of the acquired technology is 15 years and subject to amortization using a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life when its developed products are approved by the government agency.
Amortization expense for the three months ended August 31, 2011 and 2010 were $45,996 and $43,601, respectively, which was recorded in cost of revenue.
·
|
Property, plant and equipment
|
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values:
|

Expenditure for repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred. When assets have retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.
Depreciation expense for the three months ended August 31, 2011 and 2010 were $540,221 and $401,323, which included $479,060 and $335,000 in cost of revenue, respectively.

Valuation of long-lived assets
|
Long-lived assets primarily include technical know-how and property, plant and equipment. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360-10-5, “
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
,” the Company periodically reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives are no longer appropriate. Each impairment test is based on a comparison of the undiscounted cash flows to the recorded value of the asset. If an impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flow analysis. Determining the fair value of long-lived assets includes significant judgment by management, and different judgments could yield different results. There has been no impairment charge for the periods presented.
In accordance with the ASC Topic 605,
“Revenue Recognition”
, the Company recognizes revenue when the following four revenue criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.
Revenue is recognized when products are delivered to customers. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. In instances where products are configured to customer requirements, revenue is recorded upon the successful completion of the Company’s final test procedures and the customer’s acceptance.
Revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of value-added tax (“VAT”). All of the Company's products that are sold in the PRC are subject to VAT which is levied at the rate of 17% on the invoiced value of sales. Output VAT is borne by customers in addition to the invoiced value of sales and input VAT is borne by the Company in addition to the invoiced value of purchases to the extent not refunded for export sales.
ASC Topic 220
, “Comprehensive Income”
establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during the period from non-owner sources. Accumulated comprehensive income consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.
The provision for income taxes is determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “
Income Taxes
” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, 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 basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in the financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2011
(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”), except for number of shares)
(Unaudited)
For the three months ended August 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not have any interest and penalties associated with tax positions. As of August 31, 2011, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.
The Company conducts major businesses in the PRC and is subject to tax in this jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company files tax returns that are subject to examination by the foreign tax authority.
The Company calculates net income per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260,
“Earnings per Share.”
Basic income per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed similar to basic income per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.

Foreign currencies translation
|
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
The reporting currency of the Company is United States Dollar ("US$"). The Company's subsidiaries in the PRC, maintain their books and records in their local currency, Renminbi Yuan ("RMB"), which is functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which these entities operate.
In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “
Translation of Financial Statement
”,
using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity.
Translation of amounts from RMB into US$1 has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective period:

Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.
ASC Topic 280,
“Segment Reporting”
establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organization structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in the financial statements. For the three months ended August 31, 2011, the Company operates one reportable business segment in the PRC.

Fair value of financial instruments
|
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, deposits and prepayments, accounts payable, income tax payable, other payables and accrued liabilities are carried at cost which approximated fair value. Any changes in fair value of assets or liabilities carried at fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income for each period.
The Company also follows the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, “
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
” ("ASC 820-10"), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
|
o
|
Level 1
: Inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets;
|
|
o
|
Level 2
: Inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques (e.g. Black-Scholes Option-Pricing model) for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Where applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs; and
|
|
o
|
Level 3
: Inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models.
|
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
·
|
Recent accounting pronouncements
|
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.
NOTE
-
4 ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The majority of the Company’s sales are on open credit terms and in accordance with terms specified in the contracts governing the relevant transactions. The Company evaluates the need of an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts that management believes to be uncollectible. If actual collections experience changes, revisions to the allowance may be required. Based upon the aforementioned criteria, the Company has determined that no allowance for doubtful accounts is required for the periods ended August 31, 2011 and 2010.

(c) Credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition, but does not require collateral to support such receivables.
(d) Exchange rate risk
The reporting currency of the Company is US$, to date the majority of the revenues and costs are denominated in RMB and a significant portion of the assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB. As a result, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as its revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between US$ and RMB. If the RMB depreciates against US$, the value of the RMB revenues and assets as expressed in US$ financial statements will decline. The Company does not hold any derivative or other financial instruments that expose to substantial market risk.
(e) Economic and political risks
The Company's operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC and by the general state of the PRC economy.
The Company's operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company's results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation.

10 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued and filed with this Form 10-Q. There were no subsequent events that required recognition or disclosure.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
We make certain forward-looking statements in this report. Statements concerning our future operations, prospects, strategies, financial condition, future economic performance (including growth and earnings), demand for our services, and other statements of our plans, beliefs, or expectations, including the statements contained under this item as well as items elsewhere in this document, are forward-looking statements. In some cases these statements are identifiable through the use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “target,” “can,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The forward-looking statements we make are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to various assumptions, risks, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by these forward-looking statements. Because such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Indeed, it is likely that some of our assumptions will prove to be incorrect. Our actual results and financial position will vary from those projected or implied in the forward-looking statements and the variances may be material. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties, together with the other risks described from time to time in reports and documents that we file with the SEC should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements.
The nature of our business makes predicting the future trends of our revenues, expenses, and net income difficult. Thus, our ability to predict results or the actual effect of our future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. The risks and uncertainties involved in our business could affect the matters referred to in any forward-looking statements and it is possible that our actual results may differ materially from the anticipated results indicated in these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in the forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the factors discussed above in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and the following:
·
|
the effect of political, economic, and market conditions and geopolitical events;
|
·
|
legislative and regulatory changes that affect our business;
|
·
|
the availability of funds and working capital;
|
·
|
the actions and initiatives of current and potential competitors;
|
·
|
investor sentiment; and
|
We do not undertake any responsibility to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to take into account events or circumstances that occur after the date of this report. Additionally, we do not undertake any responsibility to update you on the occurrence of any unanticipated events which may cause actual results to differ from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as filed with the SEC and other financial information contained elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-Q.
Overview
We believe we are one of the leading producers of cathode materials for lithium ion batteries in China. Our current major products are cobaltosic oxide and lithium iron phosphate. With the latest technological know-how, innovative manufacturing processes, state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment and substantial manufacturing capacity, we have evolved into a market leader in this industry and one of the most innovative and respected manufacturers of cathode materials for lithium ion batteries.
At August 31, 2011 we had 12 production lines and corollary process flow equipment, with a total annual production capacity of 2,500 tons.
Since 2007, we have pursued a market-oriented strategy by engaging in the manufacturing, marketing and distribution of cobaltosic oxide. In 2008 we successfully developed proprietary processes for the manufacture of lithium iron phosphate (“LIP”), which is quickly becoming the preferred cathode material for lithium ion batteries. The increase in sales of LIP is the primary reason for the substantial increase in our revenues and gross margins in 2011. We believe that sales from LIP will continue to represent a larger percentage of our revenues and gross margins in the near future.
Since we began manufacturing LIP in quantity in the second quarter of fiscal year 2011, we have focused on expanding sales and increasing production of LIP. By the end of fiscal year 2011, six of our ten cobaltosic oxide production lines have been converted to lithium iron phosphate production lines, while the remaining four production lines continue to produce cobaltosic oxide. We plan to increase the manufacturing capacity for lithium iron phosphate by converting two additional production lines, if market conditions allow.
Our current operations and all of our customers are based in China. China is the world leader in the manufacture of lithium ion batteries and the second largest exporter. The production of lithium ion batteries and lithium-related products in China increased by 82% in 2010 compared to 2009. In addition, the PRC government has announced a national electric automobile strategy and is expected to spend up to US $15 billion in the next decade on this strategy. The national electric automobile strategy is an important part of the PRC’s Twelfth Five-Year Plan. It is expected that 1 million electric automobiles would be put to use by 2015 and that a critical component of these automobiles would be lithium ion batteries.
Management believes that our proprietary innovative technologies and processes, access to cheap labor, stable supply of low-cost raw materials and state-of-the-art equipment positions us to benefit from these growth opportunities.
For the three months ended August 31, 2011, we produced 240 tons of cobaltosic oxide and 217 tons of lithium iron phosphate.
Since June 2010, we adjusted our business strategy from mass-production to production based on customers’ needs and the availability of supporting products. During the three months ended August 31, 2011, our major customers were Henan Huanyu Sai Er New Energy Technology Co., Ltd (“Huanyu”), CITIC Guo’an Mengguli Ltd, Guangzhou Hongsen Material Co., Ltd. Tianjin B&M Science and Technology Ltd ; Dalian Dahua International Trade Co., Ltd.and Beijing Easpring Co., Ltd . The sales to these customers totaled 77% of our sales volume of 457 tons for the three months ended August 31, 2011. We have also entered into Supply Agreements with the foregoing customers to supply them with lithium iron phosphate. They will continue to be our key customers for the rest of fiscal year 2012. We are working persistently to increase our customer base in Shenzhen and Shandong.

Income Taxes
Provisions for income tax expenses were $865,120 for the three months ended August 31, 2011compared to $834,263 for the three months ended August 31, 2010, an increase of $30,857 or 3.7%. The increase resulted primarily from the increase in gross profit and hence profit before taxation in the Company’s PRC subsidiaries. The Company was established under the laws of the State of Delaware and is subject to U.S. federal income tax and Delaware annual reporting requirements. No provision for income taxes in the United States has been made as the Company has no income taxable in the United States. The Company’s PRC subsidiaries expect to use their retained earnings to support their PRC operations, and do not expect to declare any dividends within the foreseeable future.
Foreign Currency Translation Gain
The foreign currency translation gain for the three months ended August 31, 2011 was $1,005,789, an increase of $898,546 or 838% as compared to $107,243 for the same period in 2010. The increase was resulted from devaluation of US dollar.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Our cash and cash equivalents were $21,810,394 at the beginning of the three months ended August 31, 2011, and increased to $22,685,197 at the end of the three months ended August 31, 2011, an increase of $874,803 or 4%. This net change in cash and cash equivalents represents the combined effects of cash generated in the total amount of $475,788 from operating activities, and effects of exchange rate changes of $404,166 offset by cash used in the total amount of $5,151 from investing activities for the three months ended August 31, 2011.
On August 31, 2011, the majority of our cash was held in RMB denominated bank deposits in the PRC financial institution.
Our decision to maintain high cash reserves is mainly based upon (1) the projected need for new manufacturing equipment for lithium iron phosphate production in fiscal 2012 estimated to be approximately $7.44 million , (2) the projected conversion of two additional lithium iron phosphate production lines during Q2 of fiscal year 2012 and the relevant capital expenditure forecasted to be approximately $8 million, and (3) the projected purchase of new R&D equipment in the amount of approximately $3 million in fiscal year 2012.
Capital expenditures have historically been necessary to expand the production capacity of our manufacturing operations. Our prospective increase in both production lines and R&D are primarily due to the projected increased demand of our principal product lithium iron phosphate. On the basis of our current cash balances and outlook for the upcoming fiscal year, we believe we have sufficient cash resources to fund the expansion of our lithium iron phosphate production lines from 700 tons to 1,000 tons per annum.
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by our operating activities was $475,788 for the three months ended August 31, 2011, a decrease of $877,363 or 64.8% as compared to the cash of $1,353,151 provided by operating activities for the same period in 2010. The net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to the net income of $2,485,108, the increase in accounts payable of $149,188, and the increase in income tax payable of $46,282 which offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $2,181,553, the increase in inventory of $84,361, the increase in deposits and prepayments of $457,376 and the decrease in other payables and accrued liabilities of $67,717 for the three months ended August 31, 2011.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $5,151 for the three months ended August 31, 2011. The cash outflow was attributable to the purchase of plant and equipment in the amount of $5,151 during the three months ended August 31, 2011.
Net cash used in financing activities
There was no net cash generated or used for financing activities for the three months ended August 31, 2011.
Income Taxes
Cash paid for income tax expense was $818,838 for the three months ended August 31, 2011.
Inflation
We believe that inflation has not had a material or significant impact on our revenue or our results of operations.
General
We believe that we currently have sufficient income generated from our operations to meet our operating and/or capital needs. However, we will continue to evaluate various sources of capital to meet our growth needs. Such sources may include debt financing, issuance of equity securities and entrance into some financing arrangements. There can be no assurance, however, that any of the financing arrangements described herein will be available and, if available, can be obtained on terms favorable to us.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
We are committed under several non-cancelable operating lease agreements, with terms from five to ten years, due through July 25, 2020. Annual lease payments are $17,055 over the next four years, $12,403 for the fifth year and $47,547 for periods thereafter. We have a minimum rental payment obligation totaling $128,170.
On November 30, 2010, DLXY entered into an unconditional 2011 Supply Agreement for Dynamic Lithium Battery Materials with Huanyu. Pursuant to the terms of the Supply Agreement, we are obligated to supply a minimum of 470 tons of lithium iron phosphate to Huanyu during the 2011 calendar year. At August 31, 2011, we have supplied 341.22 tons of lithium iron phosphate to Huanyu. The purchase price of the lithium iron phosphate and other relevant commercial terms and conditions are determined by the parties on a monthly basis.
On April 20, 2011, DLXY entered into an unconditional 2011 Supply Agreement for Dynamic Lithium Battery Materials with ABAT. Pursuant to the terms of the Supply Agreement, we are obligated to supply a total of 170 tons of lithium iron phosphate materials to ABAT during the 2011 calendar year. At August 31, 2011, we supplied 52.94 tons of lithium iron phosphate to ABAT. The purchase price of the lithium iron phosphate materials and other relevant commercial terms and conditions are determined by the parties on a monthly basis.
Critical Accounting Policies
Revenue recognition
In accordance with the ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” we recognize revenue when the following four revenue criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
Revenue is recognized when products are delivered to customers. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. In instances where products are configured to customer requirements, revenue is recorded upon the successful completion of our final test procedures and the customer’s acceptance.
Our subsidiary, DLXY is subject to valued-added tax (“VAT”) which is levied on the majority of the products of DLXY at the rate of 17% on the invoiced value of sales sold in the People’s Republic of China. Output VAT is borne by customers in addition to the invoiced value of sales and input VAT is borne by us in addition to the invoiced value of purchases to the extent not refunded for export sales.
Accounts receivables and allowance for doubtful accounts
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. We extend unsecured credit to our customers in the ordinary course of business, but mitigate the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and determined based on management’s assessment of known requirements, aging of receivables, payment history, the customers’ current credit worthiness and the economic environment.
Foreign currencies translation
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollar ("US$"). The Company's subsidiaries in the PRC maintain their books and records in their local currency, Renminbi Yuan ("RMB"), which is the functional currency, being the primary currency of the economic environment in which these entities operate.
In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the US$ are translated into US$ in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement,” using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity.
New Financial Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements maybe expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the result of its operation.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Evaluation of Our Disclosure Controls
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”), our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
The purpose of this evaluation is to determine if, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective such that the information required to be disclosed in our SEC reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended August 31, 2011, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the 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. 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.
