AIR T, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

 

1.

Financial Statement Presentation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements of Air T, Inc. (“Air T”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and 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 pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the following disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented have been made.

 

It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2018. The results of operations for the periods ended September 30 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period amounts to conform to the current presentation.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and created Topic 606 (ASC 606), requiring an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASC 606 replaced most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017.

 

Effective April 1, 2018, the Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective transition method. Results for reporting periods beginning after April 1, 2018 will be presented according to ASU 2014-09 while prior period amounts will not be adjusted and will continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic accounting policies. The Company applied the standard to all open contracts at the date of the initial application. The main area impacted by ASU 2014-09 includes the recognition of revenue with the Company’s Ground Equipment Sales segment transitioning from percentage of completion to point in time for its government contracts which are included in the product sales revenue stream. Additionally, certain repair service revenues which were previously recorded at a point-in-time upon completion of service are now recognized over-time. Due to the short-term nature of these contracts, over-time recognition does not result in a material difference from point-in-time recognition. The Company calculated the transition adjustment based on the open contracts at April 1, 2018 and concluded that there was an immaterial impact due to the adoption of ASC 606 and thus has not recorded the adjustment.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, that amends the guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments (Subtopic 825-10). ASU 2016-01 becomes effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein. ASU 2016-01 removes equity securities from the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 320 and creates ASC Topic 321, Investments – Equity Securities. Under the new guidance, all equity securities with readily determinable fair values are measured at fair value on the statement of financial position, with changes in fair value recorded through earnings. The update eliminates the option to record changes in the fair value of equity securities through other comprehensive income. Transitional guidance provided that entities with unrealized gains or losses on available for sale (“AFS”) equity securities were required to reclassify those amounts to beginning retained earnings in the year of adoption. The Company adopted the guidance within ASU 2016-01 as of April 1, 2018. As a result, the Company has reclassified the beginning amount of accumulated other comprehensive income related to AFS securities to accumulated deficit and all changes in fair values of these securities are reflected in the Company’s consolidated statement of income (loss) for the period.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 clarifies how cash receipts and cash payments in certain transactions are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The effective date of this update is for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The update requires retrospective application to all periods presented but may be applied prospectively if retrospective application is impracticable. The Company adopted the guidance within ASU 2016-15 as of April 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. ASU 2016-18 requires that the statement of cash flows explain the changes in the combined total of restricted and unrestricted cash balance. Amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents will be combined with unrestricted cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and end of period balances on the statement of cash flows. Further, the ASU requires a reconciliation of balances from the statement of cash flows to the balance sheet in situations in which the balance sheet includes more than one-line item of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. Companies will also be disclosing the nature of the restrictions. ASU 2016-18 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted the guidance within ASU 2016-18 as of April 1, 2018. The impact of ASU 2016-18 on its financial statements was as follows: (1) changes in restricted cash balances are no longer shown in the statements of cash flows as previously presented in investing activities, as these balances are now included in the beginning and ending cash balances in the statements of cash flows; and (2) included within Note 4 is a reconciliation between cash balances presented on the balance sheets with the amounts presented in the statements of cash flows. The Company continued to hold restricted cash as of September 30, 2018.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business (Topic 805). This ASU clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The guidance is effective for fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2017 and is to be applied prospectively. The Company adopted the guidance within ASU 2017-01 as of April 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting, which provides guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting. This update is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the guidance within ASU 2017-01 as of April 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12 – Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which provides guidance on hedge accounting for both financial and commodity risks. The provisions in this standard create more transparency around how economic results are presented, both on the face of the financial statements and in the footnotes, for investors and analysts. The standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period or fiscal years before the effective date of the standard. The Company early adopted the guidance and designated both interest rate swaps as effective hedging arrangements as of August 1, 2018. As a result, all changes in the fair value of the derivatives subsequent to August 1, 2018 are now reflected in the accumulated other comprehensive loss.

 

In February 2018, the FASB amended the Financial Instruments Topic of the Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments clarify certain aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2016-01, including the measurement of equity securities without a readily determinable fair value, forward contracts and purchased options and presentation of certain fair value option liabilities. Public business entities with fiscal years beginning between December 15, 2017, and June 15, 2018, are not required to adopt these amendments until the interim period beginning after June 15, 2018. The Company adopted the new standards as of September 30, 2018. Adoption of these amendments did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard provides that a lessee should recognize the assets and the liabilities that arise from leases, including operating leases. Under the new requirements, a lessee will recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and the right-of-use asset representing the right to the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of twelve months or less, the lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee have not significantly changed from the previous GAAP. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within such fiscal year, with early adoption permitted. The ASU requires a modified retrospective transition method with the option to elect a package of practical expedients. There are three practical expedients for which an election must be made to apply and the election must be applied to all leases, as follows:

 

1. Package of practical expedients – to permit an entity to a) not reassess whether expired or existing contracts contain leases, b) not reassess lease classification for existing or expired leases and c) not consider whether previously capitalized initial direct costs would be appropriate under the new standard.

 

2. Hindsight practical expedient – to permit an entity to use hindsight in determining the lease term.

 

The Company expects to adopt the standard using a full retrospective approach and elect to apply all of the practical expedients available and applicable. The Company is still evaluating the impact of the adoption of the standard on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This standard significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income, including trade receivables. The standard requires an entity to estimate its lifetime “expected credit loss” for such assets at inception, and record an allowance that, when deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, presents the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. For public business entities that are U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filers, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the standard on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This ASU simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step Two from the goodwill impairment test. Step Two measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. Under this standard, an entity will recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. The standard is effective for any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and is to be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2018, the FASB amended the Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement Topic of the Accounting Standards Codification. The amendment is effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of this update. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this update and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The Company is currently evaluating but has not yet concluded how the new standard will impact the consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2018, the FASB amended the Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract Topic of the Accounting Standards Codification. The amendment is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption of the amendments in this Update is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for all entities. The amendments in this update should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating but has not yet concluded how the new standard will impact the consolidated financial statements.

Revenue recognition

 

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC 606, which was adopted on April 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. As substantially all of the Company’s revenue is derived from contracts with an initial expected duration of one year or less the Company has applied the practical expedient to exclude consideration of significant financing components from the determination of transaction price, to expense costs incurred to obtain a contract, and to not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations.

 

The following is a description of the Company’s performance obligations.

 

 Type of Revenue

Nature, Timing of Satisfaction of Performance Obligations, and Significant Payment Terms

 Product Sales

The Company generates revenue from sales of various distinct products such as parts, aircraft equipment, printing equipment, jet engines, airframes, and scrap metal to its customers. A performance obligation is created when the Company accepts an order from a customer to provide a specified product. Each product ordered by a customer represents a performance obligation.

The Company recognizes revenue when obligations under the terms of the contract are satisfied; generally, this occurs at a point-in-time upon shipment or when control is transferred to the customer. Transaction prices are based on contracted terms, which are at fixed amounts based on standalone selling prices. While the majority of the Company's contracts do not have variable consideration, for the limited number of contracts that do, the Company records revenue based on the standalone selling price less an estimate of variable consideration (such as rebates, discounts or prompt payment discounts). The Company estimates these amounts based on the expected incentive amount to be provided to customers and reduces revenue accordingly. Performance obligations are short-term in nature and customers are typically billed upon transfer of control. The Company records all shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenue.

 

The terms and conditions of the customer purchase orders or contracts are dictated by either the Company’s standard terms and conditions or by a master service agreement or contract.

 

 Support Services

The Company provides a variety of support services such as aircraft maintenance, printer maintenance, and short-term repair services to its customers. Additionally, the Company operates certain aircraft routes on behalf of FedEx. A performance obligation is created when the Company agrees to provide a particular service to a customer. For each service, the Company recognizes revenues over time as the customer simultaneously receives the benefits provided by the Company's performance. This revenue recognition can vary from when the Company has a right to invoice to the output or input method depending on the structure of the contract and management’s analysis.

For repair-type services, the Company records revenue over-time based on an input method of costs incurred to total estimated costs. The Company believes this is appropriate as the Company is enhancing an asset that the customer controls as repair work, such as labor hours are incurred and parts installed, is being performed. The vast majority of repair-services are short term in nature and are typically billed upon completion of the service.

 

Some of the Company’s contracts contain a promise to stand ready as the Company is obligated to perform certain maintenance or administrative services. For most of these contracts, the Company applies the 'as invoiced' practical expedient as the Company has a right to consideration from the customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value of the entity's performance completed to date. A small number of contracts are accounted for as a series and recognized equal to the amount of consideration the Company is entitled to less an estimate of variable consideration (typically rebates). These services are typically ongoing and are generally billed on a monthly basis.

 

 

11

 

 

In addition to the above type of revenues, the Company also has Leasing Revenue, which is in scope under Topic 840 (Leases) and out of scope under Topic 606 and Other Revenues (Freight, Management Fees, etc.) which are immaterial for disclosure under Topic 606.

The Company’s purchase price accounting reflects the estimated net fair value of the AirCo Sellers assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the AirCo Closing Date.

 

The transaction resulted in a bargain purchase because AirCo was a non-marketed transaction and in financial distress at the time of the acquisition. The inventory was not being marketed appropriately and as a result, the company was unable to realize market prices for the parts. The tax impact related to the bargain purchase gain was to record a deferred tax liability and record tax expense against the bargain purchase gain of approximately $278,000.  The resulting net bargain purchase gain after taxes was approximately $502,000.

 

Pro forma financial information is not presented as the results are not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Acquisition of Worthington Aviation and Parts

 

On May 4, 2018, Air T, Inc. completed the acquisition (the “Transaction”) of substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Worthington Aviation and Parts (“Worthington”), pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of April 6, 2018, by and among the Company, Worthington, and Churchill Industries, Inc., as guarantor of Worthington’s obligations as disclosed in the Purchase Agreement.

Worthington is primarily engaged in the business of operating, distributing and selling airplane and aviation parts along with repair services. The Company agreed to acquire the assets and liabilities in exchange for payment to Worthington of $50,000 as earnest money upon execution of the Agreement and a cash payment of $3,300,000 upon closing. Total consideration is summarized in the table below:

Cash consideration

    3,300,000  

Cash acquired

    (24,300 )

Total consideration

  $ 3,325,700  

 

The Transaction was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC Topic 805 "Business Combinations." Assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at their estimated fair values as of May 4, 2018, with the remaining unallocated purchase price recorded as a bargain purchase gain. A bargain purchase gain has been recognized by the Company due to Worthington being sold in a distressed sale, resulting in the fair value of net assets acquired exceeding consideration paid. The most significant asset acquired was Worthington’s inventory. The following table outlines the consideration transferred and purchase price allocation at the respective estimated fair values as of May 4, 2018:

As of September 30, 2018, the purchase price allocation is considered preliminary. The Company’s initial accounting for this acquisition is incomplete as of the date of this report. Therefore, as permitted by applicable accounting guidance, the foregoing amounts are provisional. All relevant facts and circumstances are still being considered by management prior to finalization of the purchase price allocation.

 

The transaction resulted in a bargain purchase because Worthington needed access to additional capital to maintain its operations. The seller engaged in a formal bidding process and determined Air T was the best option for Worthington. The bargain purchase gain had no tax impact beyond the recording of a deferred tax liability of approximately $589,000 as part of purchase accounting. The resulting non-taxable bargain purchase gain was approximately $1,983,000. Total transaction costs incurred in connection with this acquisition were approximately $83,000.

Income Taxes

 

During the six-month period ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded $6,000 in income tax benefit at an effective rate of -0.3%. The Company records income taxes using an estimated annual effective tax rate for interim reporting. The primary factors contributing to the difference between the federal statutory rate of 21% and the Company’s effective tax rate for the six-month period ended September 30, 2018 were the estimated benefit for the exclusion of income for the Company’s captive insurance company subsidiary under Section 831(b), the presentation of the non-taxable bargain purchase gain, the change in the valuation allowance, and the pretax activity of Contrail Aviation Support, LLC. During the six-month period ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded $655,000 in income tax expense which resulted in an effective tax rate of 27.7%. The primary factors contributing to the difference between the federal statutory rate and the Company’s effective tax rate for the six-month period ended September 30, 2017 were the change in valuation allowance against Delphax’s pretax activity in the period, the benefit for the federal domestic production activities deduction, the increase in the valuation allowance related to the Insignia unrealized impairment loss, state income tax expense, and the estimated benefit for the exclusion of income for the Company’s captive insurance company subsidiary afforded under Section 831(b).

Employee and Non-employee Stock Options

 

Air T, Inc. maintains a stock option plan for the benefit of certain eligible employees and directors. In addition, Delphax maintains a number of stock option plans. Compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period for stock options which are expected to vest based on their grant-date fair values. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value stock options granted under the Air T, Inc. plan and the Delphax plans. The key assumptions for this valuation method include the expected term of the option, stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. Many of these assumptions are judgmental and highly sensitive in the determination of compensation expense.

 

No options were granted under Air T, Inc.’s stock option plan during the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. A total of 1,682 options were exercised during the three-month period ended September 30, 2018 at a weighted average exercise price of $10.56. Stock-based compensation expense with respect to this plan in the amount of $0 was recognized for the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. At September 30, 2018, there was no unrecognized compensation expense related to the Air T Inc. stock options.

 

No options were granted or exercised during the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 under any of Delphax’s stock option plans.

Refer to the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2018 for a detailed explanation of existing debts. For the quarter ended September 30, 2018, the Company entered the following debt obligations:

 

On September 14, 2018, Contrail and its wholly-owned subsidiary Contrail Aviation Leasing, LLC (“CAL”) entered into a new Loan Agreement with Old National Bank (“ONB”). The Loan Agreement provides for a borrowing by Contrail and CAL of $18,000,000 with a maturity date of September 14, 2021. The borrowing under the Loan Agreement bears interest at a variable rate equal to the 1-month LIBOR plus 375 basis points. Contrail and CAL used proceeds of the new loan in connection with the purchase by CAL of two aircraft, each an Airbus A319-100.

 

The Company assumes various financial obligations and commitments in the normal course of its operations and financing activities. Financial obligations are considered to represent known future cash payments that the Company is required to make under existing contractual arrangements such as debt and lease agreements.

 

As part of the Company’s interest rate risk management strategy, the Company uses derivative instruments to minimize significant unanticipated earnings fluctuations that may arise from rising variable interest rate costs associated with existing borrowings (Air T Term Note A and Term Note D). To meet these objectives, the Company entered into interest rate swaps in the notional amounts consistent with the outstanding debt to provide a fixed rate of 4.56% and 5.09%, respectively, on Term Notes A and D. The swaps mature in January 2028.  

  

As of August 1, 2018, these swap contracts have been designated as cash flow hedging instruments and qualified as effective hedges in accordance with ASC 815-30. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of these instruments is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and is reclassified into the condensed consolidated statement of income (loss) as interest expense in the same period in which the underlying hedge transaction affects earnings. As of September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, the fair value of the interest-rate swap contracts was an asset of $116,295 and a liability of $66,706, respectively, which is included within other non-current assets and liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the six-months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded a gain of approximately $145,000 in the condensed consolidated statement of income (loss) due to the changes in the fair value of the instruments prior to the designation and qualification of these instruments as effective hedges. After the interest rate swaps were deemed effective hedges, the Company recorded approximately $29,000, net of tax, in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income for changes in the fair value of the instruments.

Variable Interest Entities

 

A variable interest entity ("VIE") is an entity that either (i) has insufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or (ii) has equity investors who lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Under ASC 810 - Consolidation, an entity that holds a variable interest in a VIE and meets certain requirements would be considered to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE and required to consolidate the VIE in its consolidated financial statements. In order to be considered the primary beneficiary of a VIE, an entity must hold a variable interest in the VIE and have both:

 

the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE; and

 

the right to receive benefits from, or the obligation to absorb losses of, the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE.

 

19

 

 

The Company concluded that its investments in Delphax’s equity and debt, and its investment in the Warrant, each constituted a variable interest. In addition, the Company concluded that it became the primary beneficiary of Delphax on November 24, 2015. The Company consolidated Delphax in its consolidated financial statements beginning on that date.

 

The following table sets forth the carrying values of Delphax’s assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018:

The short-term debt is comprised of amounts due from Delphax to Air T, Inc. Those amounts have been eliminated in consolidation. As of September 30, 2018, the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Note was approximately $725,000 ($900,000 as of March 31, 2018) and there were no borrowings under the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement. Short-term debt as reflected in the above table includes approximately $1,048,000 and $888,000 of accrued interest, due to the Company from Delphax Technologies, Inc. under the Senior Subordinated Note as of September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018. As a result of the foreclosure completed by the Company on August 10, 2017, the amount secured by the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement was satisfied.

 

The assets of Delphax can only be used to satisfy the obligations of Delphax. Furthermore, Delphax’s creditors do not have recourse to the assets of Air T, Inc. or its subsidiaries.

On January 6, 2017, the Company notified Delphax and Delphax Canada of certain “Events of Default” (as defined under the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement) existing under the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement and that the Company was reserving all rights to exercise remedies under the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement and that no delay in exercising any such remedy is to be construed as a waiver of any of its remedies. Also, on January 6, 2017, the Company and Delphax Canada entered into a Forbearance and Amendment Agreement dated as of January 6, 2017, which amended the Senior Subordinated Note to increase the default rate of interest from an annual rate of 10.5% to an annual rate of 18%, to be in effect until all amounts under the Senior Subordinated Note are paid in full, and which provides that so long as no Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Subordinated Note) occurs under the Senior Subordinated Note, other than Events of Default that existed as of January 6, 2017, the Company agreed to forbear from exercising its remedies under the Senior Subordinated Note until May 31, 2017 and further provided for the payment by Delphax Canada to the Company of a forbearance fee equal to approximately $141,000. Notwithstanding the existence of events of default, during the first six calendar months of 2017, the Company permitted additional borrowings under the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement to, among other things, fund a final production run by Delphax Canada of consumable products for its legacy printing systems, which production run was primarily completed over that period. Delphax Canada was Delphax's sole manufacturing subsidiary.

 

In light of continuing events of default under the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement and the conclusion of final production run by Delphax Canada of consumable products for Delphax’s legacy printing systems, on July 13, 2017, the Company delivered a demand for payment and Notice of Intention to Enforce Security to Delphax Canada. On August 10, 2017, the Company foreclosed on all personal property and rights to undertakings of Delphax Canada. The Company foreclosed as a secured creditor with respect to amounts owed to it by Delphax Canada under the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement. The Company provided notice of its intent to foreclose to Delphax Canada and its secured creditors and shareholders on July 26, 2017. The outstanding amount owed to the Company by Delphax Canada under the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement on July 26, 2017 was approximately $1,510,000. The Company also submitted an application to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Bankruptcy and Insolvency (the "Ontario Court") seeking that Delphax Canada be adjudged bankrupt. On August 8, 2017, the Ontario Court issued an order adjudging Delphax Canada to be bankrupt. The recipients of the foreclosure notice did not object to the foreclosure or redeem. As a result, the foreclosure was completed on August 10, 2017, and the Company accepted the personal property and rights to undertakings of Delphax Canada in satisfaction of the amount secured by the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement.

 

With it being adjudged bankrupt on August 8, 2017, Delphax Canada ceased to have capacity to deal with its property. The property of Delphax Canada vested in the trustee in bankruptcy of Delphax Canada subject to the rights of secured creditors. The Company’s rights under Delphax Senior Credit Agreement permitted it to foreclose upon the personal property and rights of undertakings of Delphax Canada. Since the Company foreclosed on Delphax Canada’s assets within very close time proximity to the commencement of bankruptcy proceedings and because the bankruptcy and foreclosure were undertaken in contemplation of one another, the Company treated these as one single financial reporting event. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Company considered whether Delphax Canada was still a business post-bankruptcy and foreclosure of the assets by the Company and concluded that Delphax Canada no longer constituted a business as it is defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and, accordingly, derecognition of Delphax Canada’s liabilities will occur when Delphax Canada is legally released as the primary obligor with respect to the liabilities in the bankruptcy proceedings. As of September 30, 2018, the bankruptcy proceedings were ongoing in accordance with Canadian law and, therefore, Delphax Canada was still the primary obligor of its liabilities.

 

The intercompany balances under the Delphax Senior Subordinated Note as of September 30, 2018 are eliminated in the presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

Delphax’s revenues and expenses are included in our consolidated financial statements beginning November 24, 2015 through September 30, 2018. Revenues and expenses prior to the date of initial consolidation were excluded. We have determined that the attribution of Delphax net income or loss should be based on consideration of all of Air T’s investments in Delphax and Delphax Canada. The Warrant provides that in the event that dividends are paid on the common stock of Delphax, the holder of the Warrant is entitled to participate in such dividends on a ratable basis as if the Warrant had been fully exercised and the shares of Series B Preferred Stock acquired upon such exercise had been converted into shares of Delphax common stock. This provision would have entitled Air T, Inc. to approximately 67% of any Delphax dividends paid, with the remaining 33% paid to the non-controlling interests. We concluded that this was a substantive distribution right which should be considered in the attribution of Delphax net income or loss to non-controlling interests. We furthermore concluded that our investment in the debt of Delphax should be considered in attribution. Specifically, Delphax’s net losses are attributed first to our Series B Preferred Stock and Warrant investments and to the non-controlling interest (67%/33%) until such amounts are reduced to zero. Additional losses are then fully attributed to our debt investments until they too are reduced to zero. This sequencing reflects the relative priority of debt to equity. Any further losses are then attributed to Air T and the non-controlling interests based on the initial 67%/33% share. Delphax net income is attributed using a backwards-tracing approach with respect to previous losses.

 

21

 

 

As a result of the application of the above-described attribution methodology, for the quarters ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017 the attribution of Delphax losses to non-controlling interests was 33% and 0%, respectively.

 

The following table sets forth the revenue and expenses of Delphax prior to intercompany eliminations that are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of income (loss) for the six months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.

This interest expense was eliminated for purposes of net income (loss) presented in the Company’s accompanying consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, though the effect of intercompany interest under the Senior Subordinated note and the Delphax Senior Credit Agreement is reflected in the attribution of Delphax net income or losses attributed to non-controlling interests.

 

Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities and Other Entities

 

As discussed in Note 3, BCCM Advisors holds equity interests in certain investment funds as of March 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018. The Company determined that the equity interests it holds as the general partner in the following funds are variable interests based on the applicable GAAP guidance: Blue Clay Capital Partners CO I LP, Blue Clay Capital Partners CO III LP, Blue Clay Capital SMid-Cap LO LP and AO Partners II LP. However, the Company further determined that these funds should not be consolidated as BCCM Advisors is not the primary beneficiary of these variable interest entities. The Company determined that its equity interest in the Blue Clay Capital Master Fund Ltd. is not a variable interest and should not be consolidated based on the applicable GAAP guidance. The Company’s total investment within these investment funds at September 30, 2018 is valued at approximately $343,000. The Company’s exposure to loss is limited to its initial investment.

 

As discussed in Note 8, the Company has an investment in Oxbridge RE NS in the amount of $2,000,000. The Company determined that this investment represents a variable interest based on the applicable GAAP guidance. However, the Company further determined that the Company should not consolidate Oxbridge RE NS as the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity. The Company’s exposure to loss is limited to its initial investment.

Share Repurchase

 

On May 14, 2014, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized a program to repurchase up to 750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, in compliance with SEC Rule 10b-18, over an indefinite period. During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, the Company repurchased and retired 675 shares at an aggregate cost of $23,000. As a result, the Company has reduced common stock, additional-paid-in capital and retained earnings to reflect the retirement of those shares.

Commitments and Contingencies

 

Contrail Aviation Support, LLC (“Contrail Aviation”), a subsidiary of the Company, completed the purchase of all of the assets owned by Contrail Aviation Support, Inc. (the “Seller”) in July 2016. As part of this purchase, Contrail Aviation agreed to pay contingent additional deferred consideration of up to a maximum of $1,500,000 per year and $3,000,000 in the aggregate. The Company established a liability of $2,900,000 in the initial allocation of purchase price. The Company has paid $1,000,000 of contingent consideration as of September 30, 2018 and the remaining liability of $1,972,000, which includes a current portion of $1,516,000 and a non-current portion of $456,000, is included in the “Accrued expenses” and “Other non-current liabilities”, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2018.

 

Contrail Aviation entered into with the Seller an Operating Agreement (the “Operating Agreement”) providing for the governance of and the terms of membership interests in Contrail Aviation and including put and call options (“Put/Call Option”). The Put/Call Option permits the Seller to require Contrail Aviation to purchase all of the Seller’s equity membership interests in Contrail Aviation, the Company has presented this redeemable non-controlling interest in Contrail Aviation between the liabilities and equity sections of the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Subsequent Events

 

Management performs an evaluation of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before consolidated financial statements are issued for potential recognition or disclosure of such events in its consolidated financial statements.

 

On October 2, 2018, the Company repurchased and retired an additional 15,000 shares at an aggregate cost of $503,000.

 

As discussed in Note 8, the Company has an investment in Oxbridge RE NS. Oxbridge RE NS provides reinsurance in Florida and other geographical areas. In October 2018, Hurricane Michael caused damage in Florida which has resulted in significant claims against the insurance contracts underlying the Company’s investment. The Company expects to record an impairment of approximately $1,100,000 during the quarter ended December 31, 2018 barring additional events impacting this investment. As of September 30, 2018, there were no indicators of impairment in regard to this investment.

 

On November 12, 2018, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Note and Amendment No. 2 to its Credit Agreement with Minnesota Bank & Trust.  The Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Note and Credit Agreement Amendment increased the amount of the revolving credit facility from $10,000,000 to $13,000,000.

Revenues from the air cargo segment decreased by $1,016,000 (6%) compared to the second quarter of the prior fiscal year. The decrease was principally attributable to decreased maintenance expenses passed through to our customer and a reduction in the administrative fee because of a soft-parked ATR. In addition, maintenance revenue decreased because of lower maintenance billable hours which was driven by tropical storms and reduced headcount.

 

The ground equipment sales segment contributed approximately $12,839,000 and $15,515,000 to the Company’s revenues for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 respectively, representing a $2,676,000 (17%) decrease in the current quarter primarily driven by reduced unit sales of commercial deicers. At September 30, 2018, GGS’s order backlog was $30.6 million as compared to $20.4 million at September 30, 2017.

 

The ground support services segment contributed approximately $8,474,000 and $8,801,000 to the Company’s revenues for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, representing a $327,000 (4%) decrease in the current quarter principally due to the loss of a contract in one of the Company’s shops.

 

The commercial jet engines and parts segment contributed $10,643,000 of revenues in the quarter ended September 30, 2018 compared to $5,126,000 in the comparable prior quarter which is an increase of $5,517,000 (108%). The primary driver of the increase in revenues was the acquisition of Worthington in May 2018 which contributed revenues of approximately $4,222,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2018.

 

Revenues from printing equipment and maintenance segment declined by $1,163,000 (89%) compared to the comparable prior quarter due to the bankruptcy of Delphax Canada as discussed in Note 13 and a lack of new printer sales in the current year.

Consolidated operating loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 was $1,620,000, a decrease of $2,096,000 from operating income of $476,000 for the comparable quarter of the prior year.

 

Operating income for the air cargo segment decreased by $699,000 (78%) due primarily to higher operating costs not passed through to the customer (mainly increased flight crew costs to meet operational requirements). Ground equipment segment net operating income decreased by $469,000 (640%) to $696,000. This decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in deicing unit sales as noted above. The operating results for the ground support services segment declined by $1,017,000 (368%) to an operating loss of $741,000 for the current-year period compared to operating income of $276,000 in the prior-year quarter. This decrease was primarily attributable to an increase in operating expenses, more specifically, insurance claims and miscellaneous taxes and fees. Operating income of the commercial jet engines and parts segment increased by $624,000 (1279%) which was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Worthington in May 2018. The operating loss in the printing equipment and maintenance segment improved by $19,000 (4%).

 

Operating expenses increased by $2,575,000 (5%) to $50,961,000 in the current year quarter compared to the equivalent prior period. The increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by the commercial jet engines and parts segment which experienced as increase of $4,892,000 (95%) principally due to the acquisition of Worthington. Ground equipment sales segment operating costs decreased by $2,203,000 (15%) due to the impact of decreased sales. Operating expenses from the printing equipment and maintenance segment decreased by $1,232,000 (69%) due to the bankruptcy of Delphax Canada as discussed in Note 13 and a lack of new printer sales in the current year.

 

The Company had net non-operating expense of $200,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, a decline of $484,000 (170%) from net non-operating income of $284,000 in the prior year period, principally due to increased interest expense of $392,000 as a result of increased borrowings as described in Note 12 partially offset by an increase in investment income of $236,000 due to the adoption of ASU 2016-01 whereby unrealized gains/losses on marketable securities are recorded on the income statement. Additionally, there was a gain of $562,500 recognized in the prior year due to the extinguishment of an asset retirement obligation associated with Delphax

 

Pretax loss for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018 was $1,820,000, a decline of $2,579,000 compared to the prior year comparable period, which was primarily attributable to the operating loss detailed above.

 

During the three-month period ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded $393,000 in income tax benefit at an effective rate of 21.6%. The Company records income taxes using an estimated annual effective tax rate for interim reporting. The primary factors contributing to the difference between the federal statutory rate of 21% and the Company’s effective tax rate for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018 were the state income tax expense and the change in the valuation allowance. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded $281,000 in income tax expense which resulted in an effective tax rate of 37.0%. The primary factors contributing to the difference between the federal statutory rate and the Company’s effective tax rate for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017 was the change in valuation allowance against Delphax’s pretax activity in the period, the benefit for the federal domestic production activities deduction, the increase in the valuation allowance related to the Insignia unrealized impairment loss, state income tax expense, and the estimated benefit for the exclusion of income for the Company’s captive insurance company subsidiary afforded under Section 831(b).

Revenues from the air cargo segment decreased by $118,000 compared to the first six months of the prior fiscal year from $34,823,000 to $34,705,000 due to decreased maintenance expenses passed through to our customer. The ground equipment sales segment contributed approximately $19,224,000 and $21,465,000 to the Company’s revenues for the six-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 respectively, representing a $2,241,000 (10%) decrease in the current period which was principally attributable to decreased sales in commercial deicers.

 

The ground support services segment contributed approximately $17,522,000 and $17,914,000 to the Company’s revenues for the six-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, representing a $392,000 (2%) decrease in the current period principally due to the loss of a contract in one of the Company’s shops.

 

The commercial jet engines and parts segment contributed $37,963,000 of revenues in the six-months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $17,852,000 in the six-months ended September 30, 2017. The increase of $20,111,000 was primarily due to Contrail experiencing record levels of sales driven by the sale of four engines totaling $17.35 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2018 in addition to the acquisition of Worthington in May 2018.

 

Revenues from printing equipment and maintenance segment declined by $3,995,000 (90%) compared to the first six months of the prior fiscal year due to the bankruptcy of Delphax Canada as discussed in Note 13 and a lack of new printer sales in the current year.

Consolidated operating income for the six-months ended September 30, 2018 decreased by $1,705,000 (63%) to $984,000, compared to operating income of $2,688,000 for the same period of the prior year. Operating income for the air cargo segment decreased by $459,000 (27%) in the current period due primarily to higher operating costs not passed through to the customer (mainly increased flight crew costs to meet operational requirements).

 

The ground equipment sales segment net operating income decreased by $242,000 (18%) from $1,331,000 in the prior year comparable period to $1,089,000 in the current year period. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in deicing unit sales as noted above. The operating results for the ground support services segment declined by $1,461,000 (231%) to an operating loss of $828,000 for the six- month period in the current fiscal year compared to operating income of $633,000 in the prior year six-month period. This decrease was primarily attributable to an increase in operating expenses, more specifically, increased salaries, insurance claims, and miscellaneous taxes and fees.

 

29

 

 

Operating income of the commercial jet engines and parts segment improved by $3,026,000 (397%) due to Contrail having record levels of sales driven by the sale of four engines totaling $17.35 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2018 in addition to the acquisition of Worthington in May 2018. The operating results in the printing equipment and maintenance segment declined by $1,146,000 (233%) to an operating loss of $654,000 due to the bankruptcy of Delphax Canada as noted in Note 13 and a lack of new printer sales in the current year.

 

Operating expenses increased by $15,356,000 (16%) to $109,225,000 in the first six-months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the equivalent prior year period. The increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by the commercial jet engines and parts segment which increased $17,084,000 principally due to cost of sales related to the four whole engines sold during the quarter ended June 30, 2018 and the acquisition of Worthington in May 2018. Ground equipment sales segment operating costs decreased by $1,993,000 (10%) due to the impact of decreased sales. Ground support services segment operating costs increased by $1,070,000 (6%) due to an increase in insurance claims and miscellaneous taxes and fees. Operating expenses from the printing equipment and maintenance segment decreased by $2,899,000 (73%) due to the bankruptcy of Delphax Canada as discussed in Note 13 and a lack of new printer sales in the current year.

 

The Company had net non-operating income of $865,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2018, an improvement of $1,190,000 from net non-operating loss of $325,000 in the prior year period, principally due to a bargain purchase acquisition gain of $1,983,000, net of tax, in connection with the acquisition of Worthington in May 2018. This gain was partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $950,000 due to the increased borrowings of the Company. Additionally, there was a gain of $562,500 recognized in the prior year due to the extinguishment of an asset retirement obligation and an other-than-temporary impairment loss recognized in the amount of $771,000 in the prior year.

 

Pretax income for the six-month period ended September 30, 2018 was $1,849,000, a decline of $514,000 compared to the prior year comparable period. This decline is primarily due to the decrease in operating income discussed above offset partially by the bargain purchase gain of $1,983,000 in connection with the acquisition of Worthington in May 2018.

 

During the six-month period ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded $6,000 in income tax benefit at an effective rate of -0.3%. The Company records income taxes using an estimated annual effective tax rate for interim reporting. The primary factors contributing to the difference between the federal statutory rate of 21% and the Company’s effective tax rate for the six-month period ended September 30, 2018 were the estimated benefit for the exclusion of income for the Company’s captive insurance company subsidiary under Section 831(b), the presentation of the non-taxable bargain purchase gain, the change in the valuation allowance, and the pretax activity of Contrail Aviation Support, LLC. During the six-month period ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded $655,000 in income tax expense which resulted in an effective tax rate of 27.7%. The primary factors contributing to the difference between the federal statutory rate and the Company’s effective tax rate for the six-month period ended September 30, 2017 were the change in valuation allowance against Delphax’s pretax activity in the period, the benefit for the federal domestic production activities deduction, the increase in the valuation allowance related to the Insignia unrealized impairment loss, state income tax expense, and the estimated benefit for the exclusion of income for the Company’s captive insurance company subsidiary afforded under Section 831(b).

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The Company’s significant accounting policies are fully described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements and in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2018. The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the use of estimates and assumptions to determine certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management bases these estimates and assumptions upon the best information available at the time of the estimates or assumptions. The Company’s estimates and assumptions could change materially as conditions within and beyond our control change. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from estimates. There were no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates during the six-months ended September 30, 2018.

Seasonality

 

The ground equipment sales segment business has historically been seasonal, with the revenues and operating income typically being lower in the first and fourth fiscal quarters as commercial deicers are typically delivered prior to the winter season. Other segments are not susceptible to seasonal trends.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2018, the Company held approximately $5,631,000 in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. The Company also held $250,000 in restricted investments held as statutory reserve of SAIC and the remaining $812,000 of restricted investments pledged to secure SAIC’s participation in certain reinsurance pools, and $49,000 was invested in accounts not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Company has approximately $3.4 million of marketable securities as of September 30, 2018. In addition, the Company also owns approximately 3.5 million shares of common stock of Insignia with a market value of $6.1 million as of September 30, 2018.

 

As of September 30, 2018, the Company’s working capital amounted to $20,766,000, a decrease of $9,727,000 compared to March 31, 2018.

 

Cash flows from operations, cash and cash equivalents, and the other sources of liquidity described above are expected to be available and sufficient to meet foreseeable cash requirements.

 

Cash Flows

 

Following is a table of changes in cash flow for the six-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017:

    (27,576,000 )     (11,892,000 )

Net Increase/(Decrease) in Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

  $ 558,000     $ (1,404,000 )

 

Cash provided by operating activities was $14,871,000 for the six-month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to the net cash used provided by operating activities of $7,036,000 in prior year period. The primary drivers in cash provided by operating activities was the decrease in inventory due to the sale of inventory in the commercial jet engines and parts segment (primarily the 4 engines Contrail sold during the quarter ended June 30, 2018) and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

 

Cash used in investing activities for the six-month period ended September 30, 2018 was $27,576,000 compared to $11,892,000 in prior year period. The primary drivers in cash used in investing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2018 was the $20,000,000 in capital expenditures which includes $19,100,000 of aircrafts on lease with Contrail, cash used in the acquisition of Worthington in May 2018 of $3,326,000 and cash used for investments in marketable securities of $2,014,000 and in Oxbridge RE NS of $2,000,000.

 

Cash provided by financing activities for the six-month period ended September 30, 2018 was $13,258,000 compared to cash provided by financing activities of $3,434,000 in the prior year period. The cash provided by financing activities was primarily driven by the $18,000,000 term loan that Contrail obtained to fund the acquisition of aircraft, $3,400,000 term loan to fund the acquisition of Worthington in May and $1,900,000 of proceeds obtained from a loan against the cash surrender of life insurance policies where the Company is the beneficiary. These proceeds were partially offset by payments on the Company’s existing term loans of $3,200,000 and net payments on the revolver of $7,204,000 during the six-months ended September 30, 2018.

 

Impact of Inflation

 

The Company believes that inflation has not had a material effect on its operations, because increased costs to date have generally been passed on to its customers. Under the terms of its overnight air cargo business contracts the major cost components of its operations, consisting principally of fuel, and certain other direct operating costs, and certain maintenance costs are reimbursed by its customer. Significant increases in inflation rates could, however, have a material impact on future revenue and operating income.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

The Company is exposed to various risks, including interest rate risk. As interest rates are projected to increase and can be volatile, the Company has designated a risk management policy which provides for the use of derivative instruments to provide protection against rising interest rates on variable rate debt.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, referred to collectively herein as the Certifying Officers, are responsible for establishing and maintaining our disclosure controls and procedures. The Certifying Officers have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 240.13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of September 30, 2018. Based on that review and evaluation, which included inquiries made to certain other employees of the Company, the Certifying Officers have concluded that the Company’s current disclosure controls and procedures, as designed and implemented, are effective in ensuring that information relating to the Company required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls 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 the stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

 

There has not been any change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) under the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
