NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements for interim financial statements and, accordingly, they are condensed and omit disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in the most recent annual report on Form 10-KSB. The financial statements, as of September 30, 2006 and for the interim periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation. The financial information as of December 31, 2005 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. For further information, refer to the financial statements and the notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005.
NOTE 2—PENDING MERGER WITH AMERIS BANCORP
On August 15, 2006, the Company signed a definitive agreement to merge with Ameris Bancorp. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company’s shareholders will receive $22.50 per share and may elect cash or Ameris common stock as consideration. The merger agreement has been approved by each party’s Board of Directors and is subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Company, receipt of required regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. The Company expects the transaction to close in the fourth quarter of 2006.
NOTE 3—RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The following is a summary of recent authoritative pronouncements that could impact the accounting, reporting, and/or disclosure of financial information by the Company.
In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140.” This Statement amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” This Statement resolves issues addressed in SFAS No. 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.” SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 155 will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” This Statement amends FASB No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS No. 156 requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract; requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable; permits an entity to choose its subsequent measurement methods for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities; at its initial adoption, permits a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights, without calling into question the treatment of other available-for-sale securities under Statement 115, provided that the available-for-sale securities are identified in some manner as offsetting the entity’s exposure to changes in fair value of servicing assets or servicing liabilities that a servicer elects to subsequently measure at fair value; and requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and
7

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
(UNAUDITED)
servicing liabilities. An entity should adopt SFAS No. 156 as of the beginning of its first fiscal year that begins
after September 15, 2006. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 156 will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises’ financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributable for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures and transitions. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently analyzing the effects of FIN 48.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2008 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans” (“SFAS 158”), which amends SFAS 87 and SFAS 106 to require recognition of the overfunded or underfunded status of pension and other postretirement benefit plans on the balance sheet. Under SFAS 158, gains and losses, prior service costs and credits, and any remaining transition amounts under SFAS 87 and SFAS 106 that have not yet been recognized through net periodic benefit cost will be recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax effects, until they are amortized as a component of net periodic cost. The measurement date—the date at which the benefit obligation and plan assets are measured — is required to be the company’s fiscal year end. SFAS 158 is effective for publicly?held companies for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006, except for the measurement date provisions, which are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently analyzing the effects of SFAS 158 but does not expect its implementation will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
In September, 2006, The FASB ratified the consensuses reached by the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) relating to EITF 06-4 “Accounting for the Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements”. EITF 06-4 addresses employer accounting for endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements that provide a benefit to an employee that extends to postretirement periods should recognize a liability for future benefits in accordance with FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 106, “Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions”, or Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 12, “Omnibus Opinion—1967”. EITF 06-4 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Entities should recognize the effects of applying this Issue through either (a) a change in accounting principle through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings or to other components of equity or net assets in the statement of financial position as of the beginning of the year of adoption or (b) a change in accounting principle through retrospective application to all prior periods. The Company does not believe the adoption of EITF 06-4 will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On September 13, 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulleting No. 108 (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a potential current year misstatement. Prior to SAB 108, Companies might evaluate
8
ISLANDS BANCORP
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
(UNAUDITED)
the materiality of financial statement misstatements using either the income statement or balance sheet approach, with the income statement approach focusing on new misstatements added in the current year, and the balance sheet approach focusing on the cumulative amount of misstatement present in a company’s balance sheet. Misstatements that would be material under one approach could be viewed as immaterial under another approach, and not be corrected. SAB 108 now requires that companies view financial statement misstatements as material if they are material according to either the income statement or balance sheet approach. The Company has analyzed SAB 108 and determined that upon adoption it will have no impact on the reported results of operations or financial conditions.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE 4—STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, to account for compensation costs under its stock option plan. The Company previously utilized the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (as amended)” (“APB 25”). Under the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB 25, no compensation costs were recognized for the Company’s stock options because the option exercise price in its plan equals the market price on the date of grant. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company only disclosed the pro forma effects on net income and earnings per share as if the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123(R) had been utilized.
In adopting SFAS No. 123, the Company elected to use the modified prospective method to account for the transition from the intrinsic value method to the fair value recognition method. Under the modified prospective method, compensation cost is recognized from the adoption date forward for all new stock options granted and for any outstanding unvested awards as if the fair value method had been applied to those awards as of the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share as if the fair value based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in each period (in thousands, except per share amounts).

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
The following is a discussion of the Company’s financial condition as of September 30, 2006 compared to December 31, 2005, and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed financial statements and accompanying notes appearing in this report and in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes and disclosures in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005. This report contains “forward-looking statements” relating to, without limitation, future economic performance, plans and objectives of management for future operations, and projections of revenues and other financial items that are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management. The words “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, and our operating performance each quarter is subject to various risks and uncertainties that are discussed in detail in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET INTEREST INCOME
For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, net interest income, the major component of net income, increased $536,000, or 30%, to $2,327,000 as compared to $1,791,000 for the same period in 2005. Interest and fee income from loans increased $1,055,000, or 40%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. Average loans outstanding were $58,314,000 for the first nine months of 2006 compared to $47,067,000 for the same period in 2005. In addition, loan portfolio yields increased from 7.50% for the first nine months of 2005 to 8.47% for the same period in 2006 due to the rising interest rate environment during this time. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $1,605,000 as compared to $976,000 for the same period in 2005. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased from $44,780,000 during the first nine months of 2005 to $56,624,000 for the same period in 2006. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased from 2.91% during the first nine months of 2005 to 3.80% for the same period in 2006. The interest rate spread, which is the difference between the yield on earning assets and the rate paid on liabilities, was 4.26% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to 4.11% for the same period in 2005. The net interest margin, which is net interest income divided by average earning assets, was 4.76% for the first nine months of 2006 compared to 4.54% for the same period in 2005.
For the three months ended September 30, 2006, net interest income increased $166,000, or 25%, to $840,000 as compared to $674,000 for the same period in 2005. Interest and fee income from loans increased $388,000, or 40%, for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 as the Bank continued to experience growth in the loan portfolio along with an increase in the average yield on loans. Average loans outstanding were $49,220,000 during the third quarter of 2005 compared to $61,191,000 for the same period in 2006. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $620,000 as compared to $368,000 for the same period in 2005. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased from $44,508,000 during the third quarter of 2005 to $54,704,000 for the same period in 2006, along with an increase in the average rate paid.
PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The provision for loan losses is the charge to operating earnings that management believes is necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an adequate level to reflect the losses inherent in the loan portfolio. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the provision charged to expense was $123,000, as compared to $159,000 for the same period in 2005. For the three months ended September 30, 2006, the provision charged to expense was $60,000, as compared to $44,000 for the same period in 2005. The allowance for loan losses represents 1.27% of gross loans at September 30, 2006 compared to 1.23% at September 30, 2005.
14
There are risks inherent in making all loans, including risks with respect to the period of time over which loans may be repaid, risks resulting from changes in economic and industry conditions, risks inherent in dealing with individual borrowers, and, in the case of a collateralized loan, risks resulting from uncertainties about the future value of the collateral. The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses based on, among other things, historical experience, an evaluation of economic conditions, and regular reviews of delinquencies and loan portfolio quality. Management’s judgment about the adequacy of the allowance is based upon a number of estimates and assumptions about present conditions and future events which are believed to be reasonable, but which may not prove to be accurate. Thus, there is a risk that charge-offs in future periods could exceed the allowance for loan losses or that substantial additional increases in the allowance for loan losses could be required. Additions to the allowance for loan losses would result in a decrease of net income and possibly capital.
NONINTEREST INCOME
Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $310,000, a decrease of $37,000 from the comparable period in 2005. Service charges on deposit accounts totaled $114,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to $124,000 for the same period in 2005. The decrease in service charges was primarily due to a decrease in overdraft and NSF fees. Gains on sales of loans decreased by $49,000 and totaled $73,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $122,000 for the comparable period in 2005. The decrease is due to a reduction in gains on sales of SBA loans combined with an increase in mortgage loans closed in the broker’s name. Other income increased by $22,000 and totaled $123,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $101,000 for the comparable period in 2005. The increase was primarily due to an increase in secondary market mortgage broker fees, partially offset by a decrease in SBA servicing income.
Noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $96,000, a decrease of $3,000 from the comparable period in 2005. Service charges on deposit accounts remained relatively constant, and totaled $40,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to $39,000 for the same period in 2005. Gains on sales of loans decreased by $12,000 and totaled $21,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $33,000 for the comparable period in 2005, with the decrease due to a reduction in gains on sales of SBA loans combined with an increase in mortgage loans closed in the broker’s name. Other income increased by $8,000 and totaled $35,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $27,000 for the comparable period in 2005, with the increase primarily due to an increase in secondary market mortgage broker fees.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $1,872,000, an increase of $521,000 from the comparable period in 2005. Salaries and employee benefits totaled $904,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $125,000 from the comparable period in 2005. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the number of employees, normal salary increases and increases in employee benefits expense. In addition, in 2006 the Company recorded $26,000 in compensation expense related to stock options as discussed in Note 3 above. Net occupancy expense totaled $199,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $31,000 from the comparable period in 2005. The increase was primarily due to increased depreciation expense and increases in maintenance and repairs. Other noninterest expense totaled $769,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $365,000 from the comparable period in 2005. The increase was primarily due to increases in data processing and advertising expenses as a result of the Bank’s growth, increases in other professional services such as technology support, and an increase in legal fees which were primarily due to the Company’s pending merger with Ameris Bancorp.
Noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $646,000, an increase of $168,000 from the comparable period in 2005. Salaries and employee benefits totaled $301,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $30,000 from the comparable period in 2005. The increase was primarily due
15
to increases in the number of employees, salary increases, increased employee benefits expense and compensation expense related to stock options. Net occupancy expense remained relatively constant, and totaled $59,000 for 2006 compared to $60,000 in 2005. Other noninterest expense totaled $286,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $139,000 from the comparable period in 2005. The increase was again primarily due to increases in data processing, advertising, technology support and legal fees.
INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $248,000 as compared to $229,000 for the same period in 2005. Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $90,000 as compared to $97,000 for the same period in 2005. All of the Company’s net operating losses have been utilized for tax purposes, and the Company is now fully taxable for both Federal and state income tax purposes.
NET INCOME
The combination of the above factors resulted in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 of $394,000 as compared to net income of $399,000 for the same period in 2005. For the three months ended September 30, 2006, net income was $140,000 as compared to $154,000 for the same period in 2005.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
During the first nine months of 2006, total assets increased $10,810,000, or 16.3%, when compared to December 31, 2005. The primary growth in assets was composed of an increase in loans of $7,935,000, or 14.6%, during the first nine months of 2006. The growth in loans was funded by a corresponding increase in deposits. Total deposits increased $10,027,000, or 17.2%, from December 31, 2005 to September 30, 2006. Other borrowings decreased by $700,000 during the quarter due to the repayment, at maturity, of an advance from the Federal Home Loan Bank.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Securities available for sale increased from $2,269,000 at December 31, 2005 to $3,072,000 at September 30, 2006 primarily due to the purchase of SCM securities now that the Bank is fully taxable. All of the Bank’s marketable investment securities were designated as available-for-sale at September 30, 2006. The increase of $36,000 in nonmarketable equity securities was due to a required purchase of additional FHLB stock.

The Bank continued its trend of loan growth during the first nine months of 2006. Outstanding loans increased $7,935,000, or 14.6%, during the period. As shown above, the main component of growth in the loan portfolio was real estate—mortgage loans which increased 19.2%, or $5,001,000, from December 31, 2005 to September 30, 2006.

RISK ELEMENTS IN THE LOAN PORTFOLIO
The following is a summary of risk elements in the loan portfolio (in thousands):
| | | | | | |
| | SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 | | DECEMBER 31, 2005 |
Nonaccrual loans | | $ | 649 | | $ | 313 |
Accruing loans more than 90 days past due | | $ | 62 | | $ | 107 |
Loans identified by internal loan review: | | | | | | |
Criticized | | $ | 1,467 | | $ | 1,546 |
Classified | | $ | 438 | | $ | 551 |
Criticized loans have potential weaknesses that deserve close attention and could, if uncorrected, result in deterioration of the prospects for repayment or the Bank’s credit position at a future date. Classified loans are inadequately protected by the sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower or any collateral and there is a distinct possibility or probability that a loss could occur if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Balances within the major deposit categories as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 are as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | |
| | SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 | | DECEMBER 31, 2005 |
Noninterest-bearing demand deposits | | $ | 6,268 | | $ | 6,519 |

| | | | | | |
| | $ | 68,162 | | $ | 58,135 |
| | | | | | |
At September 30, 2006, total deposits had increased by $10,027,000, or 17.2%, from December 31, 2005. The largest increase was in interest-bearing demand deposits, which increased $8,694,000 from December 31, 2005 to September 30, 2006. This increase is primarily due to increases in balances maintained in the Bank’s business checking accounts.
17
LIQUIDITY
The Bank meets its liquidity needs through scheduled maturities of loans and investments and through pricing policies designed to attract interest-bearing deposits. The level of liquidity is measured by the loan-to-total borrowed funds (which includes deposits) ratio, which was 90.0% and 90.8% at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.
At September 30, 2006, the Company’s primary sources of liquidity included cash, Federal funds sold and securities available-for-sale. The Bank also has lines of credit available with correspondent banks to purchase federal funds for periods from one to 30 days. At September 30, 2006, unused lines of credit totaled $5,440,000.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
Through its operations, the Bank has made contractual commitments to extend credit in the ordinary course of its business activities. These commitments are legally binding agreements to lend money to the Bank’s customers at predetermined interest rates for a specified period of time. At September 30, 2006, the Bank had issued commitments to extend credit of $12,332,000 and standby letters of credit totaling $75,000.
Based on historical experience, many of the commitments and letters of credit will expire unfunded. Accordingly, the above amounts do not necessarily reflect the Bank’s need for funds in the future.
The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on its credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial and residential real estate.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company has adopted various accounting policies which govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States in the preparation of its financial statements. The significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2005 as filed in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions which have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities. Management considers these accounting policies to be critical accounting policies. The judgments and assumptions used are based on historical experience and other factors, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the nature of the judgments and assumptions, actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates which could have a major impact on the carrying values of assets and liabilities and results of operations.
Management believes the allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting policy that requires the most significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Refer to the portions of our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and this Form 10-QSB that address the allowance for loan losses for a description of our processes and methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Total shareholders’ equity increased from $5,803,000 at December 31, 2005 to $7,105,000 at September 30, 2006. The increase is primarily due to net income of $394,000 and the exercise of director warrants totaling $876,000.
The Federal Reserve Board and bank regulatory agencies require bank holding companies and financial institutions to maintain capital at adequate levels. Because the Company has total assets of less than $150 million, its capital adequacy is judged only on the adequacy of the Bank’s capital. Quantitative measures

established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum ratios of Tier 1 and total capital as a percentage of assets and off-balance sheet exposures, adjusted for risk-weights ranging from 0% to 100%. Under the risk-based standard, capital is classified into two tiers. For the Bank, Tier 1 capital consists of common shareholders’ equity, excluding the unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale securities, minus certain intangible assets. For the Bank, Tier 2 capital consists of the reserve for loan losses subject to certain limitations. An institution’s qualifying capital base for purposes of its risk-based capital ratio consists of the sum of its Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital. The regulatory minimum requirements are 4% for Tier 1 and 8% for total risk-based capital.
Banks and bank holding companies are also required to maintain capital at a minimum level based on total assets, which is known as the leverage ratio. The minimum requirement for the leverage ratio is 3%; however all but the highest rated institutions are required to maintain ratios 100 to 200 basis points above the minimum. The Bank exceeded its minimum regulatory capital ratios as of September 30, 2006, as well as the ratios to be considered “well capitalized.”
The following table summarizes the Bank’s risk-based capital at September 30, 2006:
| | | | |
Shareholders’ equity | | $ | 6,974,000 | |
Plus: unrealized losses on securities held for sale | | | 16,000 | |

| | | | |
Tier 1 capital | | | 6,983,000 | |
Plus: allowance for loan losses(1) | | | 791,000 | |
| | | | |
Total capital | | $ | 7,774,000 | |
| | | | |
Risk-weighted assets | | $ | 64,490,000 | |
| | | | |
Risk-based capital ratios | | | | |
Tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets) | | | 10.83 | % |
Total capital (to risk-weighted assets) | | | 12.05 | % |
Tier 1 capital (to total average assets) | | | 9.56 | % |
(1) | Limited to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets |
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (“Disclosure Controls”). Disclosure Controls, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure Controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, 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
19
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.
Based upon their controls evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our Disclosure Controls are effective at a reasonable assurance level.
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the past fiscal year that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
