PATRICK INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands, except shares and per share amounts)
1. | In the opinion of Patrick Industries, Inc. (the “Company”), the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005, and the results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. |
2. | Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s December 31, 2005 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. |
3. | The inventories on June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 consist of the following classes: |
| June 30, 2006 | December 31, 2005 |
| ||
Raw materials | $26,351 | $18,720 |
Work in process | 2,916 | 2,993 |
Finished goods | 6,909 | 4,964 |
| ||
Total manufactured goods | 36,176 | 26,677 |
Distribution products | 9,136 | 7,259 |
| ||
Total inventories | $45,312 | $33,936 |
|
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out (FIFO) method) or market.
4. | Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), and began recognizing compensation expense in its consolidated statements of operations as a selling, general, and administrative expense for its stock option grants based on the fair value of the awards. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock option grants under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related interpretations, as permitted by Statement of Financial Statndards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). The Company elected to use the modified prospective method in applying this standard in which, as of January 1, 2006, compensation cost related to the non-vested portion of the awards outstanding was based on the grant-date fair value of those awards as calculated under the original provisions of Statement No. 123. Therefore, the Company was not required to, and did not re-measure, the grant-date fair value estimate of the unvested portion of awards prior to January 1, 2006. Further, the Company did not restate prior period financial statements. As a result of adopting SFAS 123R, the Company’s income before income taxes for the second quarter and year to date periods ending June 30, 2006 is $22 and $56 lower, respectively, than if it had continued to account for stock-based compensation under APB 25. |
6
For purposes of this pro-forma disclosure, the value to the options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and amortized to expense over the options’ vesting periods using the following assumptions:
| 2006 | 2005 | 2004 |
Dividend rate | 0.00% | 0.00% | 0.00% |
Risk-free interest rate | 4.75% | 5.00% | 3.50% |
Expected option life | 1 year | 4 years | 4 years |
Price volatility | 33.2% | 36.45% | 31.00% |
The table below illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share had compensation expense for the stock option plan been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards consistent with the provision of FASB No. 123:
| For the three months ended June 30, 2005 | For the six months ended June 30, 2005 |
| ||
Net income as reported | 238 | 107 |
Add: total stock-based employee compensation expense included in reported net income |
- - - |
- - - |
Deduct: total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all rewards, net of tax benefits |
(12) |
(24) |
| ||
Pro forma net income | 226 | 83 |
| ||
|
|
|
Basic earnings per share: |
|
|
As reported | $0.05 | $0.02 |
Pro forma | $0.05 | $0.02 |
Diluted earnings per share: |
|
|
As reported | $0.05 | $0.02 |
Pro-forma | $0.05 | $0.02 |
The Company estimates the fair value of all stock option awards and stock grants as of the grant date by applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The use of this valuation model involves assumptions that are judgmental and highly sensitive in the determination of compensation expense and include the dividend yield, exercise price, and forfeiture rate. In accordance with SFAS 123R, the fair value of stock and options granted prior to adoption and determined for purposes of disclosure under SFAS 123 have not been changed. There was one stock grant during the first quarter of 2006 and one stock grant during the second quarter of 2006 which have accordingly been recognized in the financial statements.
As of June 30, 2006, there was approximately $307 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based compensation arrangements granted under incentive plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of three years.
Stock options issued prior to 2006 expire six years from the date of grant and are generally exercisable ratably over five years. Stock granted in the first quarter of 2006 will vest ratably over one year and stock granted in the second quarter will vest on May 10, 2007.

The following table summarizes the Company’s option activity for employees during the six months ended June 30, 2006:
Options |
Shares |
Weighted Average Exercise Price | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (yrs.) |
Aggregate Intrinsic Value |
Outstanding at January 1, 2006 | 255,213 | $8.99 |
|
|
Granted | 28,560 | $12.19 |
|
|
Exercised | (29,825) | $8.09 |
|
|
Forfeited or expired | (2,250) | $10.01 |
|
|
| ||||
Outstanding at June 30, 2006 | 251,698 | $9.45 | 3.00 | $359,295 |
| ||||
|
|
|
|
|
Exercisable at June 30, 2006 | 91,687 | $8.82 | 3.00 | $224,633 |
The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above is before income taxes, based on the Company’s closing stock price of $11.27 as of the last business day of the period ended June 30, 2006.
5. | Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares that were outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options for all periods. The Company’s dilutive potential common shares were 38,704 and 44,037 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. |
6. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company recorded a mark-to-market credit of $238 for the changes in the estimated fair value of the swap agreement. This adjustment is accordingly reflected in other comprehensive income.
7. | On March 21, 2006 in conjunction with the expiration of the Rights Agreement dated March 20, 1996, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a Shareholder Rights Agreement granting new rights to holders of the Company’s Common Stock. Under the agreement, the Company authorized and declared a dividend distribution of one right payable on March 31, 2006 for each share of Common Stock of the Company outstanding on March 31, 2006, and the issuance of one right for each share of Common Stock subsequently issued prior to the separation date as defined in the Rights Agreement. Each right entitles the holder to purchase 1/100th of a Preferred Share at the exercise price (currently $30), and in an unfriendly takeover situation, to purchase Company Common Stock having a market value equal to two times the exercise price. Also, if the Company is merged into another corporation, or if 50 percent or more of the Company’s assets are sold, then right-holders are entitled, upon payment of the exercise price, to buy common shares of the acquiring corporation’s common stock having a then current market value equal to two times the exercise price. In either situation, these rights are not available to the acquiring party. However, these exercise features will not be activated if the acquiring party makes an offer to acquire the Company’s outstanding shares at a price which is judged by the Board of Directors to be fair to Patrick shareholders. The rights may be redeemed by the Company under certain circumstances at the rate of $.01 per right. The rights will expire on March 21, 2016. The Company has authorized 100,000 shares of Preferred Stock Series A, no par value, in connection with this plan, none of which have been issued. |
8. | The Company has determined that its reportable segments are those that are based on the Company’s method of internal reporting, which segregates its business by product category and production/distribution process. The Company’s reportable segments are as follows: |
8

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The first and second quarters of 2006 for Patrick Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) represented the best respective quarterly results since 1999. Positive operating and sales trends from the fourth quarter of 2005 and first quarter of 2006 carried through the second quarter of 2006 with volume levels that were at contribution points above break-even and profitability which transferred to the bottom line. The Company’s continued focus on keeping costs aligned with revenues resulted in approximately $0.4 million more in operating costs in the quarter and $1.1 million more for the six months ended June 30, 2006 when compared to the respective 2005 periods. The overall percentage impact was that sales increased 20% for the quarter and 16% year to date with corresponding increases in operating expenses of 5% for the quarter and 6% year to date. Operating income increased $1.7 million for the quarter and $3.2 million year to date. Barring unforeseen industry conditions, the Company believes that it is well positioned to further increase sales without adding significant amounts of fixed overhead expense.
Raw material product price increases as a result of a fairly strong residential housing market and market penetration in all of the industries that the Company serves helped to bolster overall sales levels and thus propel the Company’s sales beyond the industry trends. The Company’s strategic relationships with its suppliers also helped to secure product in areas where demand far exceeded supply, thus driving a premium, not only for the product availability and pricing, but further solidifying the Company as a quality and valuable source of materials to our customer base. Heading into the third quarter, the residential housing market appears to be showing signs of decline and therefore may result in less demand on certain of the Company’s products. This could impact product pricing as supply catches up with the demand in the residual markets including Manufactured Housing.
The Manufactured Housing Industry, which represents 43% of the Company’s sales for the six month period ending June 30, 2006, experienced shipment decreases of approximately 5% from the second quarter of 2005 and a modest increase of 1% year to date. While this Industry is still plagued by financing concerns, including lack of funding sources and exclusive of FEMA related shipments operating at more than 40 year lows, permanent rebuilding in the New Orleans area, rising interest rates, mild inflation and improved job growth may favorably impact this Industry. Shipment estimates for 2006 have been projected to be comparable to 2005. As certain housing manufacturers continue their penetration into the modular housing sector, the demand for the Company’s manufactured custom panels continues to shift to the Company’s distribution products which include, but are not limited to, the raw substrates and tape and texture products.
The Recreational Vehicle Industry, which represents approximately 31% of the Company’s sales for the six month period ending June 30, 2006, continued on its strong pace with quarterly shipments increasing approximately 13% from the second quarter of 2005 and 14% year to date. While rising gasoline prices appear to be having an impact on motorized units, the towable unit shipments remained steady through June 2006 and increased approximately 18% from the second quarter of 2005 and 19% year to date. Sales to the towable segment of the market approximate 75% of the Company’s total Recreational Vehicle Industry market sales. Heading into the third quarter, the market appears to be softening in the Recreational Vehicle Industry and could result in less demand for the Company’s products than that experienced in the first six months of the year.
The Company’s diversification efforts into the Industrial and other markets, which represent approximately 26% of the Company’s sales for the six months ending June 30, 2006, resulted in additional market penetration of approximately $3.2 million through June 2006. Customer attrition continued from the first quarter of 2006 accounting for approximately $4.0 million of lost sales due to import pressures and financial and other circumstances at several of the Company’s larger customers. New sources of demand are developing in this market sector, however, not quickly enough to offset the losses of these large clients. The Company’s efforts to penetrate and gain market share in these industries continues because the Company believes certain of its core competencies including quality customer service, short order lead times, and high volume quality manufacturing are a strategic fit for the requirements of this customer base.
11
The Company believes that it is well positioned for growth in all of the markets that it serves. Key focus areas for 2006 include identifying and executing strategic accretive acquisitions, capturing market share, maintaining a lean organizational structure, controlling costs, and growing all areas of the business. The most recent capital plan ended in 2005 with three year expenditures totaling approximately $24.0 million. The capital plan for 2006 includes expenditures up to $10 million including a new $4.5 million expansion to the Company’s engineered solutions segment. This expansion includes approximately $3.0 million for additional machinery and equipment and $1.5 million for building addition.
In April 2006, the Company renewed its credit facility which includes a $10.0 million line of credit and other provisions with its financial institutions for another three-year period extending out to 2009.
The following table sets forth the percentage relationship to net sales of certain items in the Company’s Statements of Operations:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Quarter Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to Quarter Ended June 30, 2005
Net Sales. Net sales increased $16.0 million, or 20.4%, to $94.7 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2006 from $78.6 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2005. The increase in sales is partially attributable to a 13% increase in shipments in the Recreational Vehicle Industry in the second quarter of 2006. Additional increased sales volume is due to increased market penetration and various raw material price increases that were passed on to the Company’s customers in all three market sectors the Company serves. Market penetration was the result of strategic sales focus and the Company’s valued relationships with certain vendors that helped to secure raw materials in locations where those materials were either on allocation or in short supply.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $2.1 million, or 22.3%, to $11.7 million in the second quarter of 2006 from $9.6 million in the second quarter of 2005. As a percent of net sales, gross profit increased 0.1% to 12.3% in the second quarter of 2006 from 12.2% in the second quarter of 2005. The increase in dollars and percent of net sales is attributable to increased sales, comparable fixed costs, and improved labor efficiencies from period to period resulting in increased contribution.
Warehouse and Delivery Expenses. Warehouse and delivery expenses increased $0.5 million, or 13.4%, to $3.9 million in the second quarter of 2006 from $3.4 million in the second quarter of 2005. As a percentage of net sales, warehouse and delivery expenses decreased 0.3% to 4.1% in 2006 from 4.4% in 2005. The increase in dollars is due to increased sales, fuel prices, and freight surcharges from the freight carriers from period to period. The decrease in percentage of net sales is attributable to comparable fixed costs from period to period. As increasing fuel prices and freight surcharges continue, it could have a negative impact on the Company’s operating expense ratios.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expenses were comparable from period to period at $5.3 million for both the second quarter of 2006 and 2005. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased 1.2% to 5.6% in 2006 from 6.8% in 2005. The
12
second quarter of 2006 includes a $0.1 million gain on life insurance proceeds. The Company’s efforts to keep costs aligned with revenues has resulted in comparable fixed costs from period to period resulting in lower selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales.
Operating Income. Operating income increased $1.7 million to $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2006 from $0.8 million in the same period in 2005 due primarily to the increased sales and gross profit contribution levels, as well as product price increases which were passed onto customers which allowed the Company to maintain margins.
Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net decreased $0.1 million to $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2006 from $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2005 due to a decrease in debt service requirements.
Net Income. Net income increased $1.1 million to $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2006 from $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2005 due primarily to the factors described above.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2005
Net Sales. Net sales increased $25.6 million, or 16.2%, to $184.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $158.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in sales is partially attributable to a 1% increase in shipments in the Manufactured Housing Industry and a 14% increase in shipments in the Recreational Vehicle Industry from a strong towables market in 2006. Additional increased sales volume is due to increased market penetration and various raw material price increases which were passed on to the Company’s customers in all three market sectors the Company serves. Market penetration is the result of strategic sales focus and the Company’s valued relationships with certain vendors that helped to secure raw materials in locations where those materials were either on allocation or in short supply.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $4.3 million, or 23.6%, to $22.7 million through June 2006 from $18.4 million in the same period in 2005. As a percent of net sales, gross profit increased 0.7% to 12.3% in 2006 from 11.6% in 2005. The increase in dollars and percent of net sales is attributable to increased sales, comparable fixed costs, improved labor efficiencies, and a 31% reduction in workers compensation expense from period to period resulting in increased contribution.
Warehouse and Delivery Expenses. Warehouse and delivery expenses increased $0.9 million, or 13.5%, to $7.9 million in 2006 from $7.0 million in the 2005. As a percentage of net sales, warehouse and delivery expenses decreased 0.1% to 4.3% in 2006 from 4.4% in 2005. The increase in dollars is due to increased sales, fuel prices, and freight surcharges from the freight carriers from period to period. The decrease in percentage of net sales is attributable to comparable fixed costs from period to period.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $0.2 million to $10.7 million in 2006 from $10.5 million in 2005. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased 0.9% to 5.8% in 2006 from 6.7% in 2005. The second quarter of and year to date through June 2006 includes a $0.1 million gain on life insurance proceeds. The Company’s efforts to keep costs aligned with revenues has resulted in comparable fixed costs from period to period resulting in lower selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales.
Operating Income. Operating income increased $3.3 million to $4.1 million in 2006 from $0.8 million in the same period in 2005 due primarily to the increased sales and gross profit contribution levels, as well as raw material product price increases which were passed onto customers which allowed the Company to maintain margins.
Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net remained consistent at $0.7 million for both six month periods ending June 30, 2006 and 2005.
Net Income. Net income increased $1.9 million to $2.0 million for the six month period ending June 30, 2006 from $0.1 million in the same period in 2005 due primarily to the factors described above.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS
Quarter Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to Quarter Ended June 30, 2005
PRIMARY MANUFACTURED PRODUCTS SEGMENT DISCUSSION
Net sales increased $8.1 million, or 20.3%, to $48.1 million in the second quarter of 2006 from $40.0 million in the second quarter of 2005. The increased sales are attributable to shipment and raw material product price increases, and market penetration in both the Manufactured Housing and Recreational Vehicle Industries, which comprise 63% of the sales in this particular segment. Additional market sales gains include approximately $2.5 million in the industrial sector during the quarter with two customers in the Southwest.
Gross profit increased $1.4 million, or 35.8%, to $5.4 million in the second quarter of 2006 from $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2005. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased 1.2% to 11.2% in the second quarter of 2006 from 10.0% in the same period in 2005.

Operating income increased $1.3 million to $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2006 from $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2005 due to the increased gross profit, as operating expenses improved from period to period as a percentage of net sales due to comparable fixed costs.
DISTRIBUTION SEGMENT DISCUSSION
Net sales increased $4.7 million, or 17.4%, to $31.9 million in the second quarter of 2006 from $27.2 million in the second quarter of 2005. The increased sales are attributable to product price increases and market penetration specifically in the Manufactured Housing Industry, which represents approximately 85% sales in this particular segment. Price increases from period to period of approximately 20% to 30%, on certain of the products in this segment, were passed through to customers as the Company attempted to maintain margins.
Gross profit increased $1.0 million, or 32.6%, to $4.0 million in 2006 from $3.0 million in 2005. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased 1.4% to 12.5% in 2006 from 11.1% in 2005.

Operating income increased $0.8 million to $1.6 million in 2006 from $0.8 million in 2005 due primarily to the factors described above.
OTHER COMPONENT MANUFACTURED PRODUCTS SEGMENT DISCUSSION
Net sales increased $0.8 million, or 19.2%, to $4.8 million in the second quarter of 2006 from $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2005. The increase in net sales is due to additional machinery sales from the Company’s machine manufacturing division from period to period of approximately $0.2 million, and increased market penetration in one of the other divisions in this segment accounting for the remainder. The Company is in the process of closing the machine manufacturing division and starting up a repair division that will primarily handle repairs and maintenance on the Company’s laminating machines. All billing out of this division is on orders received prior to 2006 and no new orders have been taken or processed since the beginning of 2006. The financial closeout is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Gross profit declined by $0.1 million to $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2006 from $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2005. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit decreased 4.6% to 10.0% in 2006 from 14.6% in 2005. The decrease in gross profit is due to labor inefficiencies as a result of significant product mix variations at one of the operations in this segment.
Operating income remained constant from period to period at $0.1 million for both the second quarter of 2006 and second quarter of 2005 due to reduced operating expenses from period to period.
14

Operating income increased $0.6 million to $1.2 million in 2006 from $0.6 million in 2005 due to the factors described above.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company’s primary capital requirements are to meet working capital needs, support its capital expenditure plans, and meet debt service requirements.
In April 2006, the Company renewed its secured bank revolving credit agreement which provides loan availability of $10.0 million and maturity in the year 2009. Interest on this note is at prime or the Eurodollar rate plus a percentage based on the Company’s cash flow. The Company pays a commitment fee of between, 0.25% and 0.375% of the unused portion of the revolving line, based on the Company’s cash flow. The agreement is secured by all of the Company’s assets.
In March 2005, the Company secured a term debt financing package for $15.0 million. This package provides for a five year maturity in January 2010, and a ten year amortization schedule with principal payments which began in February 2006. In order to reduce its vulnerability to variable interest rates, this package includes an interest rate swap agreement with interest fixed at a rate of 4.78%. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to maintain certain financial ratios including a debt service coverage ratio and other cash flow ratios, all of which are currently complied with. In addition, the term debt which was obtained in March 2005 includes certain financial covenants which are incorporated into the overall credit facility.
In conjunction with its strategic and capital plan, the Company expects to spend approximately $10.0 million in 2006 on capital expenditures including a $4.5 million expansion to improve capacity and operating capabilities in one of business units. The Company believes that cash generated from operations and borrowings under its credit agreements will be sufficient to fund its working capital requirements, capital expenditures, and common stock purchase program as currently contemplated. The changes in inventory and accounts receivable balances, which affect the Company’s cash flows, are part of normal business cycles that cause them to change periodically.
16
We believe that our cash balance, availability under our line of credit, if needed, and anticipated cash flows from operations will be adequate to fund our cash requirements for fiscal 2006.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies which are summarized in the footnotes to our Annual Report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
SEASONALITY
Manufacturing operations in the Manufactured Housing and Recreational Vehicle Industries historically have been seasonal and are generally at the highest levels when the climate is moderate. Accordingly, the Company’s sales and profits are generally highest in the second and third quarters.
INFLATION
The Company does not believe that inflation had a material effect on results of operations for the periods presented.
SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT
The Company makes forward-looking statements from time to time and desires to take advantage of the “safe harbor” which is afforded such statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 when they are accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. The statements contained in the foregoing “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” as well as other statements contained in the Quarterly Report and statements contained in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and publicly disseminated press releases, and statements which may be made from time to time in the future by management of the Company in presentations to shareholders, prospective investors, and others interested in the business and financial affairs of the Company, which are not historical facts, are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Any projections of financial performance or statements concerning expectations as to future developments should not be construed in any manner as a guarantee that such results or developments will, in fact, occur. There can be no assurance that any forward-looking statement will be realized or that actual results will not be significantly different from that set forth in such forward-looking statement. Factors that may affect the Company’s operations and prospects are discussed in Item 1A of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. The Company undertakes no duty to update these forward looking statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
In March 2005, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement. This swap agreement effectively converts a portion of the Company’s variable-rate borrowings to a fixed-rate basis, thus reducing the impact of changes in interest rates on future interest expense.
ITEM 4. EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation 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 “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to the Company, including consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“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 the Company’s management, including our
17
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
