If a change occurs, the Company’sCompany's business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations may vary materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. Actual results may vary from forward-looking statements due to, but not limited to, the following:
availability and terms of capital and financing, both to fund operations and to refinance indebtedness as it matures;

changes in the Company’sCompany's business and financial strategy and/or continued adverse market and economic conditions requiring the recognition of additional impairment losses;
leasing risks, including anthe inability to obtain new tenants or renew expiring tenants on favorable terms, or at all, upon the expiration of existing leases and the ability to lease newly developed, recently acquired or currently unleasedcurrent vacant space;
financial condition of existing tenants;
rising interest rates and insurance rates;
the availability of sufficient development or investment opportunities;
failure of purchase, sale or other contracts to ultimately close;
competition from other developers or investors;
the risks associated with real estate developments and investmentsacquisitions (such as construction delays, cost overruns and leasing/salesleasing risk);
loss of key personnel;
potential liability for uninsured losses, condemnation or environmental issues;
potential liability for a failure to meet regulatory requirements;
the financial condition and liquidity of, or disputes with, joint venture partners;
any failure to comply with debt covenants under credit agreements; and
any failure to continue to qualify for taxation as a real estate investment trust.
The words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “plans,” “may,” “intend,” “will,” or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes its plans, intentions and expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company can give no assurance that such plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of future events, new information or otherwise, except as required under U.S. federal securities laws.

Litigation
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings, claims and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which are expected to be covered by liability insurance. Management makes assumptions and estimates concerning the likelihood and amount of any potential loss relating to these matters using the latest information available. The Company records a liability for litigation if an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. If an unfavorable outcome is probable and a reasonable estimate of the loss is a range, the Company accrues the best estimate within the range. If no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the Company accrues the minimum amount within the range. If an unfavorable outcome is probable but the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company discloses the nature of the litigation and indicates that an estimate of the loss or range of loss cannot be made. If an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and the estimated loss is material, the Company discloses the nature and estimate of the possible loss of the litigation. The Company does not disclose information with respect to litigation where an unfavorable outcome is considered to be remote. Based on current expectations, such matters, both individually and in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the liquidity, results of operations, business or financial condition of the Company.
3. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Net income (loss) per share-basic is calculated as net income (loss) available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including nonvested restricted stock which has nonforfeitable dividend rights. Net income (loss) per share-diluted is calculated as net (income) lossincome (loss) available to common stockholders divided by the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted weighted average number of common shares uses the same weighted average share number as in the basic calculation and adds the potential dilution, if any, that would occur if stock options (or any other contracts to issue common stock) were exercised and resulted in additional common shares outstanding, calculated using the treasury stock method. The numerator is reduced for the effect of preferred dividends in both the basic and diluted net income (loss) per share calculations. Weighted average shares-basic and diluted for the three and ninesix months ending SeptemberJune 30, 20112012 and 20102011 are as follows (in thousands):

The expense related to certain stock-based compensation awards is fixed. The expense related to other awards fluctuates from period to period dependent, in part, on the Company’sCompany's stock price.
The Company reversed previously recognized stock-based compensation expense, net of amounts capitalized and income tax effect, if any, of $435,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2011 and recorded net stock-based compensation expense of $1.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The three-month 2011 reversal of expense was mainly due to a period-to-period drop in the Company’s stock price.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recorded net stock-based compensation expense of $549,000$619,000 and $2.4$664,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $2.0 million and $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
In the first quarter of 2011, theThe Company granted 211,729 stock options to key employees and 1,019 stock options to a new director. Also during the first quarter of 2011, the Companyhas made restricted stock grants in 2012 of 214,206261,973 shares to key employees, withwhich vest ratably over a three-year ratable vesting, and 29,411 shares to a key employee, which cliff vest in three years.three-

RSUs and the long-term incentive awards are accounted for as liability awards under ASC 718, “Stock Compensation,” and employees are paid cash at vesting based upon the closing prices of the Company’s stock or other prescribed cash amounts.

In addition, the Company awarded two types of performance-based RSUs to key employees based on the following performance metrics: (1) Total Stockholder Return of the Company, as defined, as compared to the companies in the SNL Financial US REIT Office REIT index as of January 1, 2011 (“TSR SNL RSUs”), and (2) the ratio of cumulative funds from operations per share to targeted cumulative funds from operations per share amount (“FFO RSUs”). The performance period for both awards is January 1, 20112012 to December 31, 2013,2014, and the targeted numberunits awarded of TSR SNL RSUs and FFO RSUs is 99,970162,783 and 64,266,101,918, respectively. The ultimate payout of these awards can range from 0% to 200% of the targeted number of units depending on the achievement of the performance metrics described above. Both of these types of RSUs cliff vest on February 15, 20142015 and are dependent upon the attainment of required service and performance criteria. The number of RSUs vesting will be determined at that date, and the payout per unit will be equal to the average closing price on each trading day during the 30-day period ending on December 31, 2013.2014. The Company expenses an estimate of the fair value of the TSR SNL RSUs over the vesting periodare expensed using a quarterly Monte Carlo valuation.valuation over the vesting period. The Company expenses the FFO RSUs are expensed over the vesting period using the fair market value of the Company’sCompany's stock at the reporting date multiplied by the anticipated number of units to be paid based on the current estimate of what the ratio is expected to be upon vesting. Dividend equivalents
Also in 2012, the Company made a special grant of restricted stock of 208,333 shares to its chief executive officer, which vests ratably over a three-year period. Additionally, the Company issued performance-based RSUs to the chief executive officer. The targeted number of units awarded is 281,532. The payout of these awards can range from 0% to 150% depending on the RSUs will also be paid based uponTotal Stockholder Return of the percentage vested. The dividend equivalent payments will equalCompany, as defined on an absolute basis, and compared to the total stockholder return for the companies in the SNL US REIT Office Index. The performance period of the awards is from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2016 with interim performance measurement dates at each of the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries. To the extent that the Company has attained the defined performance goals at the end each of these periods, one-third of the units may be credited after each of the third and fourth anniversaries, with the balance credited at the end of the fifth anniversary, and to be awarded subject to continuous employment on the fifth anniversary. The RSU award is expensed using a quarterly Monte Carlo valuation over the vesting period. The number of RSUs vesting will be determined at the fifth anniversary date of the grant, and the cash dividends that would have been paidpayout per unit will be equal to the average closing price on each trading day during the performance30-day period and as if the cash dividends had been reinvested in Company stock.ending with such date.

Investment in Verde Realty (“Verde”) relates to a cost method investment in a non-publicprivately-held real estate investment trust. During the first quarter of 2011, the Company determined that there were impairment indicators related to its investment in Verde, including Verde’s withdrawal of its proposed initial public offering. The Company estimated the fair value of Verde by calculating discounted future cash flows using Level 3 inputs, such as market capitalization rates, discount rates and other items. The fair value estimate was less than carrying value, and the Company determined the impairment was other-than-temporary in accordance with accounting standards for investments in unconsolidated entities. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $3.5 million.
Goodwill relates entirely to the Office reportable segment. As office assets are sold, either by the Company or by joint ventures in which the Company has an ownership interest, a portion of goodwill is written off to the cost of each sale. The following is a summary of goodwill activity for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2011, and there2012. There were no changes for the ninesix month 20102011 period (see NoteNotes 5 and 9 for additional information regarding property sales):

7.NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS
The Company consolidates various entitiesjoint ventures that are involved in the ownership and/or development of real estate. The partner’s share of an entity, in cases where an entity’s documents do not contain a required redemption clause, is reflected in a separate line item called Nonredeemable Noncontrolling Interests shown within Equity onaccounting for the Balance Sheets. Correspondingly, the partner’s share of income or loss is recorded in Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests in the Statements of Operations.

12


Other consolidated entities contain provisions requiring the Company to purchase the partners’partners' share of the entity, at a certain value upon demand or at a future prescribed date. In these situations, the partner’s sharesome of the entitywhich contain required redemption clauses, is recognized as Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests and is presented between liabilities and equity on the Balance Sheets, with the corresponding sharedescribed in Note 12 of income or loss“Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in the entity recorded in Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests inCompany's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Statements of Operations. The redemption values are evaluated each period and adjusted to the higher of fair value or the partner’s cost basis within the equity section of the Balance Sheet. The Company recognizes these changes in the estimated redemption value as they occur. year ended December 31, 2011.

8.REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
The Company has five reportable segments: Office, Retail, Land, CPS Third Party Management and Leasing, and Other. These reportable segments represent an aggregation of operating segments reported to the Chief Operating Decision Maker based on similar economic characteristics that include the type of product and the nature of service. Each segment includes both consolidated operations and joint ventures. The Office and Retail segments show the results by eachfor that product type. For these two segments, net operating income is calculated as rental property revenues less rental property operating expenses. The Land segment includes results of operations for various tracts ofcertain land that are held for investment or future development,holdings and single-family residential communities that are parceled into lots and sold to various homebuilders or sold as undeveloped tracts of land.developed lots to homebuilders. Fee income and related expenses for the third party ownedparty-owned properties which are managed or leased by the Company’sCompany's CPS subsidiary are included in the CPS Third Party Management and Leasing segment. In 2010,prior years, the Company had an additional segment, the For-Sale Multi-Family Residential Unit segment, which included results of operations for the development and sale of multi-family real estate projects. The Company has sold substantially all of its multi-family residential units, in the first quarterand this line of 2011, and thebusiness is no longer considered to be a separate reporting segment. The 2011 results for this segment are included in the Other segment.Other. The Other segment also includes:
fee income for third party owned and joint venture properties, other than those managed by CPS, for which the Company performs management, development and leasing services (fee income from residential joint ventures is included in the Land segment);services;
compensation for corporate employees, other than those in the CPS Third Party Management and Leasing segment;
general corporate overhead costs, interest expense for consolidated entities (as financing decisions are made at the corporate level, with the exception of joint venture interest expense, which is included in joint venture results in the respective segment);
income attributable to noncontrolling interests;

were sold in 2011.
Company management evaluates the performance of its reportable segments in part based on funds from operations available to common stockholders (“FFO”). FFO is a supplemental operating performance measure used in the real estate industry. The Company calculated FFO using the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts’Trusts' (“NAREIT”) definition of FFO, which is net income (loss) available to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding extraordinary items, cumulative effect of change in accounting principle and gains or losses from saleson sale of or impairment losses on depreciable property, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures to reflect FFO on the same basis.

13


FFO is used by industry analysts, investors and the Company as a supplemental measure of a REIT’sREIT's operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of a REIT’sREIT's operating performance that excludes historical cost depreciation, among other items, from GAAP net income. Management believes the use of FFO, combined with the required primary GAAP presentations, has been fundamentally beneficial, improving the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and making comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. Company management evaluates operating performance in part based on FFO. Additionally, the Company uses FFO, along with other measures, to assessas a performance in connection with evaluating and grantingmeasure for incentive compensation to its officers and other key employees.
Segment net income, the balance of the Company's investment in joint ventures and the amount of capital expenditures are not presented in the following tables. Management does not utilize these measures when analyzing its segments or when making resource allocation decisions, and therefore this information is not provided. FFO is reconciled to net income (loss) on a total Company basis (in thousands).:

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview:
Cousins Properties Incorporated (“Cousins”), a Georgia corporation, is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”). Cousins Real Estate Corporation (“CREC”) is a taxable entity wholly-owned by and consolidated with Cousins. CREC owns, develops, and manages its own real estate portfolio and performs certain real estate related services for other parties.
Cousins, CREC and their subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) develop, acquire, manage and own primarily office retail, industrial and residentialretail real estate projects.projects in Georgia, Texas and North Carolina. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2011,2012, the Company’sCompany's portfolio of real estate assets consisted of interests in 7.07.4 million square feet of office space, 4.84.3 million square feet of retail space, 1.5 million square feet of industrial space, and two projects under development. The Company also had interests in both commercial and residential land tracts, held for investment or future development, as well as single-family lots in residential projects. The Company also provides leasing and/or management services to approximately 12.711 million square feet of office and retail space owned by third parties.
During the secondquarter in its portfolio,of 2012, the Company leased or renewed 420,000186,000 square feet of office space and 367,00084,000 square feet of retail space and its leasing percentage remained generally consistent with that of the first quarter of 2012 and of the year-end 2011. Over this period, there was flat to modest employment growth in a still-challenged leasing environment. While base rentsthe Company's Atlanta and North Carolina markets resulting in no significant increase in demand for office space have deteriorated only marginallyand no significant increases in rental rates or reductions in concessions. By contrast, the recent economic downturn, concessions in the form of free rent and tenant allowances have increased significantly. In the Atlanta market, rates and concessions have stabilized, but management does not believe that there will be significant improvement until employment recovers. The Company’s North Carolina markets are mixed, as they are being negatively impacted by employment contraction in the banking sector, but positively impacted by the region’s exposure to the education, technology and health services industries. The Company’sCompany's Texas markets by contrast, have experienced lower unemployment and positive job growth and lease absorption, resulting in a decrease in lease concessions and an increase in rental rates.since the first six months of 2011. With respect to the Company's retail portfolio, tenant sales in its properties have increased. Management believes leasing theeconomics may marginally improve as a result.
The Company experienced base rental rate erosion, an increasemade progress in the number of leases paying percentage rent in lieu of base rent, and higher allowances for tenant construction during the downturn. Recently, the Company has seen an improvement in tenant sales and a modest increase in expansion plans by some national retailers. As a result, terms for new leases executed in the current quarter were generally more traditional in nature as they predominately included standard base rent clauses and tenant construction allowances more in line with the structure of those seen prior to the downturn, although at lower rental rates. Management expects this trend to carry forward provided consumer confidence and associated consumer spending in each of its submarkets improves.
In the second quarter of 2011, the Company began constructing its first development project since 2007 with the formation of a joint venture to develop Emory Point, the first phase of a mixed-use project that is expected to contain 443 apartment units and 80,000 square feet of retail space at a location adjacent to Emory University and the Centers for Disease Control2012 in Atlanta, Georgia. In the third quarter of 2011, the Company began development of Mahan Village, a 147,000 square foot retail center in Tallahassee, Florida. The Company is actively pursuing other development and acquisition opportunities in the Southeastern United States, one or more of which could occur during the remainder of 2011.
In the third quarter of 2011, the Company sold One Georgia Center, a 376,000 square foot office building in Atlanta, Georgia. Also, the Company, mainly through joint ventures in which it has an ownership interest, sold 126 residential lots in the quarter, primarily in its Texas projects. The Texas residential markets continue to outperform those in Georgia and Florida, and management expects this trend to continue for the remainder of 2011.
Management currently plans to continueexecuting its strategy of simplification by selling its non-strategic land, residential lotthe following assets:
Sold Galleria 75 for $9.2 million;
Sold The Avenue Collierville for $55.0 million, generating $54.6 million in net proceeds; and industrial holdings
Sold Ten Peachtree Place for $45.3 million, generating $5.0 million in net proceeds to the Company.
During the second quarter, the Company made progress on the construction and could sell one or morepre-leasing of its existing operating assetstwo development projects and in the remainder of 2011 in orderre-positioning its recently acquired Promenade office building. Management continues to fundseek additional investment opportunities that capitalize on its investment activities.leasing, asset management and development core competencies.

In February 2011, the Company sold Jefferson Mill Business Park Building A, a 459,000 square foot industrial property in suburban Atlanta, Georgia, for a sales price of $22.0 million and a capitalization rate of approximately 7%.

Funds From Operations. The table below shows Funds from Operations Available to Common Stockholders (“FFO”) and the related reconciliation to net income (loss) available to common stockholders for the Company. The Company calculates FFO in accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts’ (“NAREIT”Trusts' ("NAREIT") definition, which is net income available to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding extraordinary items, cumulative effect of change in accounting principle and gains or losses from sales of or impairment losses on depreciable property, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures to reflect FFO on the same basis.
FFO is used by industry analysts and investors as a supplemental measure of a REIT’sREIT's operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of REIT operating performance that excludes historical cost depreciation, among other items, from GAAP net income. The use of FFO, combined with the required primary GAAP presentations, has been fundamentally beneficial, improving the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and making comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. Company management evaluates operating performance in part based on FFO. Additionally, the Company uses FFO, along with other measures, to assessas a performance in connection with evaluating and grantingmeasure for incentive compensation to its officers and other key employees. The reconciliation of net income (loss) available to common stockholders to FFO is as follows for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20112012 and 20102011 (in thousands, except per share information):

Cash flows increased $1.7 million in cash interest paid between the periods from lower average borrowings outstanding and a reduction in the average interest rate paid on its debt;
Cash flows increased $777,000 from salaries and benefits due to a decrease in the number of units sold at bothemployees between the Company’s 10 Terminus and 60 North Market condominium projects. There are no multi-family units for sale as of September 30, 2011;periods;

Capital expenditures increased in 20112012 mainly due to the commencement of construction in the third quarter of 2011 of the Mahan Village project.retail project, partially offset by a decrease in leasing costs between the periods.  Tenant improvements and leasing costs, as well as related capitalized personnel costs, are a function of the number and size of newly executed leases or renewals of existing leases.  The amount of tenant improvement and leasing costs on a per square foot basis varies by lease and by market.  Tenant improvement and leasing costs per square foot have increased during recent periods, but amounts have stabilized overall and are decreasing in some of the Company’sCompany's markets.  Given the level of expected leasing and renewal activity, in future periods, management expects tenant improvements and leasing costs to remain consistent with or greater than that experienced in 2011. In addition, the first nine monthsCompany's redevelopment project was transferred to operating properties at the beginning of 2011.2012.
Dividends.The Company paid cash common and preferred dividends of $23.7$15.8 million in each of the six month 2012 and $18.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, periods, which it funded with cash provided by operating activities. The 2011 common stock dividends were paid all in cash, and the 2010 common stock dividends were paid in a combination of cash and common stock. The total value of the common dividends paid in the 2010 period totaled $27.2 million. The Company currently intends to pay future dividends in cash, and expects to fund its quarterly distributions to common and preferred stockholders with cash provided by operating activities, proceeds from investment property sales, distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures, and indebtedness, if necessary.activities.
The Company reviews, on a quarterly basis, the amount of the common dividend in light of current and projected future cash flows from the sources noted above and also considers the requirements needed to maintain its REIT status. In addition, the Company has certain covenants under its Credit Facility which could limit the amount of dividends paid. In general, dividends of any amount can be paid as long as leverage, as defined in the facility, is less than 55%60%, and the Company is not in default under its facility. Certain conditions also apply in which the Company can still pay dividends if leverage is above that amount. The Company routinely monitors the status of its dividend payments in light of the Credit Facility covenants.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
General.The Company has a number of off balance sheet joint ventures with varying structures, as described in Note 4 of the Company’sCompany's Annual Report on Form 10-K. Most of the joint ventures in which the Company has an interest are involved in the ownership, acquisition and/or development of real estate. A venture will fund capital requirements or operational needs with cash from operations or financing proceeds, if possible. If additional capital is deemed necessary, a venture may request a contribution from the partners, and the Company will evaluate such request. In particular,
Debt. At June 30, 2012, the Company anticipates approximately $16.7 million in additional equity to fund project construction of the first phase at the EP I joint venture. Additionally, in July 2011, a large lease was signed at Ten Peachtree Place Associates, and the Company estimates contributions of approximately $6.3 million will be needed to fund tenant asset costs in this venture. Except as previously discussed, based on the nature of the activities conducted in these ventures, management cannot estimate with any degree of accuracy amounts that the Company may be required to fund in the short or long-term. However, management does not believe that additional funding of these ventures will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.
Debt.At September 30, 2011, the Company’sCompany's share of unconsolidated joint venture debt to third parties was approximately $162.0$156.4 million. These loans are generally mortgage or construction loans, most of which are non-recourse to the Company, except as described in the paragraphparagraphs below. In addition, in certain instances, the Company provides “non-recourse carve-out guarantees” on these non-recourse loans. Certain of these loans have variable interest rates, which creates exposure to the ventures in the form of market risk tofrom interest rate changes. At SeptemberJune 30, 2011,2012, approximately $29.1$32.5 million of the loans at unconsolidated joint ventures were recourse to the Company.
CF Murfreesboro Associates, (“CF Murfreesboro”), of which the Company owns 50%, has a $113.2 million facility that matures on July 20, 2013, and $99.8$96.6 million was drawn at SeptemberJune 30, 2011.2012. The Company has a $26.2 million repayment guarantee on the loan.
The Company guarantees 25% of two of the four outstanding loans at the Cousins Watkins LLC joint venture, which owns four retail shopping centers. The loans have a total capacity of $16.3 million, of which the Company guarantees $4.1 million. At SeptemberJune 30, 2011,2012, the Company guaranteed $2.9 million, based on current amounts outstanding under these loans. These guarantees will be released if certain metrics at the centers are achieved.
The Company guarantees repayment of 18.75% of the outstanding balance of the EP I construction loan, which has a maximum available of $61.1 million, equaling a total guarantee of approximately $11.5 million. This guarantee may be eliminated after project completion, based on certain covenants. TheAt June 30, 2012, the Company guaranteed approximately $3.4 million based on the amount outstanding under this loan is minimal as of September 30, 2011.the loan.

Bonds.The unconsolidated joint ventures also had performance bonds of $426,000$115,256 at SeptemberJune 30, 2011,2012, which the Company guarantees through an indemnity agreement with the bond issuer. These performance bonds relate to construction projects at the retail center owned by CF Murfreesboro.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives. We also have investments in certain unconsolidated entities. As we do not always control or manage these entities, our disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities are necessarily more limited than those we maintain with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer along with the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness, design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon the foregoing, the Chief Executive Officer along with the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. In addition, based on such evaluation we have identified no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management makes assumptions and estimates concerning the likelihood and amount of any potential loss relating to these matters using the latest information available. The Company records a liability for litigation if an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. If an unfavorable outcome is probable and a reasonable estimate of the loss is a range, the Company accrues the best estimate within the range.
