Readers should consider the following information
as they review this Report:
Forward-Looking Statements
The statements contained or incorporated by
reference in this Report that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” (as such term is defined in
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995), within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements
other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements
include any statement that may project, indicate or imply future results, events, performance or achievements. The forward-looking
statements contained herein are based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. These statements
can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believe,” “expect,” “may,”
“will,” “should,” “intend,” “plan,” “could,” “estimate”
or “anticipate,” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussions of
strategy that involve risks and uncertainties.
Given the risks and uncertainties relating
to forward-looking statements, investors should not place undue reliance on such statements. Forward-looking statements
included in this Report speak only as of the date of this Report and are not guarantees of future performance. Although
we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, such expectations may prove to be
incorrect. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf,
are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. The risks and uncertainties mentioned previously relate
to, among other matters, the following:
| · | Economic uncertainty and financial market
conditions may impact our customer base, suppliers and backlog; |
| · | Our backlog is subject to unexpected adjustments
and cancellations and, therefore, may not be a reliable indicator of our future earnings; |
| · | Our volume of fixed-price contracts and
use of percentage-of-completion accounting could result in volatility in our results of operations; |
| · | A portion of our contracts contain terms
with penalty provisions; |
| · | Fluctuations in the price and supply of
raw materials used to manufacture our products may reduce our profits and could materially impact our ability to meet commitments
to our customers; |
| · | Our operations could be adversely impacted
by the continuing effects of government regulations; |
| · | International and political events may
adversely affect our operations; |
| · | Our operating results may vary significantly
from quarter to quarter; |
| · | We may be unsuccessful at generating profitable
internal growth; |
| · | The departure of key personnel could disrupt
our business; and |
| · | Our business requires skilled labor, and
we may be unable to attract and retain qualified employees. |

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in thousands except per share amounts)
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Deep Down, Inc. and its directly and
indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Deep Down,” “we,” “us” or the “Company”)
were prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC” or the
“Commission”) pertaining to interim financial information and instructions to Form 10-Q. As permitted under those
rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by United States generally accepted accounting
principles (“US GAAP”) can be condensed or omitted. Therefore, these statements should be read in conjunction
with the audited consolidated financial statements, and footnotes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2014, filed on March 31, 2015 with the Commission.
Preparation of financial
statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, the disclosed amounts of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses. If the underlying estimates and assumptions upon which the financial statements are based change
in future periods, then the actual amounts may differ from those included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included.
Certain previously reported amounts have been
reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements presented herein include the accounts of Deep Down, Inc. and its directly and indirectly
wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Segments
For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and
2014, we only had one operating and reporting segment, Deep Down Delaware.
NOTE 2: LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
During the fiscal periods ended March
31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we supplemented our capital needs primarily through debt. Since 2008, we have maintained a credit
facility with Whitney Bank, a state chartered bank (“Whitney”); see additional discussion in Note 6, “Long-Term
Debt”, to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in thousands except per share amounts)
Credit Facility
Since 2008, we have maintained a credit facility
(the “Facility”) with Whitney. The Facility has been amended and restated several times, most recently effective
March 30, 2015 when we entered into the seventh amendment (“Seventh Amendment”).
The relevant terms of the Seventh Amendment
include:
| · | a change to the definition of earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) to permit in the calculation, in the quarter ended
December 31, 2014, the add-back of a non-recurring charge of $4,916 related to the impairment of our goodwill; |
| · | a waiver, for the quarter ended December
31, 2014, for our noncompliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant under the Facility; |
| · | a requirement that we maintain a compensating
balance of $3,900 in our existing interest-bearing account at Whitney, to continue until such time as we have regained compliance
with all of our covenants under the Facility subsequent to the quarter ended December 31, 2014. |
Other current relevant terms of the Facility
include:
| · | a committed amount of $5,000 under the
revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”), maturing June 30, 2015, subject to a borrowing base limitation
based on eligible trade accounts receivable; the Revolving Credit Facility may be used to borrow cash (at an interest
rate of 3.5 percent per annum) or to issue bank letters of credit (at a fee of 1 percent per annum); both cash borrowings
and the issuance of bank letters of credit reduce the available capacity under the commitment; the available borrowing and letter
of credit capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility at March 31, 2015 was $1,585; |
| · | a real estate term facility (“RE
Term Facility”) of $2,000, at an interest rate of 4.0 percent per annum, maturing April 15, 2018, with the Company being
obligated to make monthly increasing repayments of principal (along with accrued and unpaid interest thereon) starting at $8, beginning
April 1, 2013; |
| · | a carousel term facility (“Carousel
Term Facility”) of $2,200, at an interest rate of 3.5 percent per annum, maturing October 15, 2016, with the Company being
obligated to make monthly repayment of principal of $65 (along with accrued and unpaid interest thereon) beginning July 1, 2014; |
| · | outstanding balances under the Facility
are secured by all of the Company’s assets. |
As of March 31, 2015, the Company had indebtedness
under the Facility consisting of the Revolving Credit Facility, the RE Term Facility, and the Carousel Term Facility, in amounts
equal to $3,000, $1,797, and $ 1,615, respectively. Additionally, a bank letter of credit issued under the Revolving Credit
Facility in the amount of $415 was outstanding at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. See Note 9 “Commitments and
Contingencies”, of the notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
As mentioned above, our Facility obligates
us to comply with certain financial covenants. They are as follows:
| · | Leverage Ratio - The ratio of total debt
to consolidated EBITDA must be less than 3.0 to 1.0; actual Leverage Ratio as of March 31, 2015: 4.69 to 1.0. |
| · | Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio - The ratio
of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated net interest expense, plus principal payments on total debt, must be greater than 1.5 to
1.0; actual Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio as of March 31, 2015: 1.15 to 1.0. |
| · | Tangible Net Worth - Our consolidated
net worth, after deducting other assets as are properly classified as “intangible assets,” plus 50 percent of net income,
after provision for taxes, must be in excess of $16,700; actual Tangible Net Worth as of March 31, 2015: $24,715. |
| · | Moreover, we continue to have obligations
for other covenants, including, among others, limitations on issuance of common stock, liens, transactions with affiliates, additional
indebtedness and permitted investments. |
As of March 31, 2015, we were in partial compliance
with our financial covenants, except for the Leverage Ratio and Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio requirements. Whitney has provided
us with a waiver for our noncompliance with these covenants. Because we do not believe that it is probable that we will be in compliance
with all of our covenants under the Facility for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2015, we have classified all of our debt under
the Facility as current as of March 31, 2015.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in thousands except per share amounts)
NOTE 7: SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
We have a share-based compensation plan, the
“2003 Directors, Officers and Consultants Stock Option, Stock Warrant and Stock Award Plan” (the “Plan”).
Awards of common stock and options to purchase common stock granted under the Plan have vesting periods of three years and options
are exercisable for two years once fully vested. Share-based compensation expense related to awards is based on the fair value
at the date of grant, and is recognized over the requisite expected service period, net of estimated forfeitures. Under the Plan,
the total number of options permitted is 15 percent of issued and outstanding common shares.
Summary of Nonvested Shares of Restricted
Stock
For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and
2014, we recognized a total of $126 and $110, respectively, of share-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards,
which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements
of operations. The unamortized estimated fair value of nonvested shares of restricted stock awards was $618 at March 31, 2015.
These costs are expected to be recognized as expense over a weighted average period of 1.23 years.
Summary of Stock Options
For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and
2014, we recognized a total of $0 and $25, respectively, of
share-based compensation expense related to outstanding stock option awards, which is included in selling, general and administrative
expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The unamortized portion of the estimated
fair value of non-vested stock options was $0 at March 31, 2015.
NOTE 8: INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense during interim periods is
based on applying the estimated annual effective income tax rate to interim period operations. The estimated annual effective income
tax rate may vary from the statutory rate due to the impact of permanent items relative to our pre-tax income, as well as by any
valuation allowance recorded. We employ an asset and liability approach that results in the recognition of deferred tax assets
and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial basis and the tax basis
of those assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that some of the deferred
tax assets will not be realized. Although our future projections indicate that we may be able to realize some of these
deferred tax assets, due to the degree of uncertainty of these projections, at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 management
has recorded a full deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
NOTE 9: COMMITMENTS
AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
From time to time we are involved in legal
proceedings arising in the normal course of business. As of the date of this Report, we were not involved in any material actual
or pending legal proceedings.
Operating Leases
We lease certain offices, facilities, equipment
and vehicles under non-cancellable operating and capital leases expiring at various dates through 2023.
Letters of Credit
Certain of our customers could require us to
issue a standby letter of credit (“LC”) in the ordinary course of business to ensure performance under terms of a contract
or as a form of product warranty. The beneficiary could demand payment from the issuing bank for the amount of the outstanding
letter of credit. There was $415 in LC’s outstanding at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in thousands except per share amounts)
NOTE 10: EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”)
is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted
EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents
(warrants, stock awards and stock options) outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could
occur if options to purchase common stock were exercised for shares of common stock.
At March 31, 2015 and 2014, there were outstanding
stock options convertible to 325 and 825 shares of common stock, respectively, all of which were
anti-dilutive.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis provides
information that management believes is relevant for an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial
condition. This information should be read in conjunction with our audited historical consolidated financial statements, which
are included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
March 31, 2015 and our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, included with this Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q (“Report”) in Part I. Item 1. “Financial Statements.”
General
We are an oilfield services company specializing
in complex deepwater and ultra-deepwater oil production distribution system support services, serving the worldwide offshore exploration
and production industry. Our services and technological solutions include distribution system installation support and engineering
services, umbilical terminations, loose-tube steel flying leads, buoyancy products and services, remotely operated vehicles (“ROVs”)
and toolings. We support subsea engineering, installation, commissioning, and maintenance projects through specialized, highly
experienced service teams and engineered technological solutions. Our primary focus is on more complex deepwater and ultra-deepwater
oil production distribution system support services and technologies, used between the platform and the wellhead.
In Part I. Item 2 “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” all dollar and share amounts are in thousands
of dollars and shares, unless otherwise indicated.
Industry and Executive Outlook
The oil prices fell from over $100 to $70 per
barrel by the end of the year 2014, and continued to fall to a low of $46 during the first quarter 2015. The major oilfield service
companies have had substantial reductions in personnel as well as revenues and net income. The oil prices have recovered some and
are now approaching $60 per barrel. The outlook on oil prices is still very uncertain and the major service companies are moving
very slowly and cautiously going forward. We believe the worldwide offshore subsea projects will continue to be fairly active for
the remainder of this year and next year.
Our first quarter, which is typically our slowest
quarter, reflected an 11 percent increase in revenues over the first quarter of last year. Our service work is increasing with
multiple teams offshore with more to follow. Even though the drop in oil prices has had a significant impact on our customers’
plans, it has been somewhat positive for our service business. Our customers are looking to us for our innovative solutions, which
can simplify and shorten the time it takes to solve their problems. Our backlog continues to remain high and is over $30 million
and the pace of quoting continues to be very high. There are no major fabrication jobs, such as a carousel, so we expect our margins
to strengthen during the year. We continue to believe 2015 will be a good year, and we will continue to focus on cost reductions
and cash flow.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 Compared
to Three Months Ended March 31, 2014
Revenues. Revenues for the three
months ended March 31, 2015 were $6,839, a $676 (11 percent) increase over the revenues of $6,163 for the three months ended
March 31, 2014. This increase is due primarily to mobilization, assembly and rental revenues earned with respect to a 3,500
MT carousel.
Gross profit. Gross profit for the three
months ended March 31, 2015 was $2,235, or 33 percent of revenues. Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2014
was $2,268, or 37 percent of revenues. The four percentage-point decrease in gross profit is primarily attributable to additional
losses sustained on one of our large fixed-price fabrication projects.
Selling, general and administrative expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $2,427,
or 35 percent of revenues. SG&A for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $2,156, or 35 percent of revenues. The
$271 increase is due primarily to increased research and development expense ($77) related to the design and engineering of ROV
tooling and a vessel dynamic positioning system; increased payroll and related expense ($73) as one of our executives, whose payroll
is normally charged to SG&A, worked on a revenue-generating project during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and the associated
payroll was reclassified to cost of sales; decreased bad debt credit ($44); and increased legal expense ($35) related to pending
patents and collection of our receivables. The remaining net variance of $42 is not comprised of any individually significant variances.
Other income (expense). For the three
months ended March 31, 2014, gain on the sale of property, plant and equipment was $373.
Modified EBITDA. Our management evaluates
our performance based on a non-GAAP measure which consists of earnings (net income or loss) available to common shareholders before
net interest expense, income taxes, non-cash share-based compensation expense, equity in net income or loss of joint venture, non-cash
impairments, depreciation and amortization, other non-cash items and one-time charges (“Modified EBITDA”). This
measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies and is not a measure of performance calculated
in accordance with US GAAP. The measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income or loss,
net income or loss, cash flows provided by operating, investing or financing activities, or other cash flow data prepared in accordance
with US GAAP. The amounts included in the Modified EBITDA calculation, however, are derived from amounts included in the accompanying
unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
We believe Modified EBITDA is useful to investors
in evaluating our operating performance because it is widely used to measure a company’s operating performance, which can
vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, financing methods, capital
structure and the method by which assets were acquired. It helps investors more meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of
our operations from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest); asset base (primarily
depreciation and amortization); actions that do not affect liquidity (share-based compensation expense, equity in net income or
loss of joint venture) from our operating results; and it helps investors identify items that are within our operational control.
Depreciation and amortization charges, while a component of operating income, are fixed at the time of the asset purchase or acquisition
in accordance with the depreciable lives of the related asset and as such are not a directly controllable period operating charge.
The following is a reconciliation of net (loss)
income to Modified EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014:

Modified EBITDA for the three months ended
March 31, 2015 was $275. Modified EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $987. The $712 decrease is primarily attributable
to a $373 decrease in gain on sale of property, plant and equipment and a $280 increase in SG&A before share-based compensation
expense, due to increases previously mentioned. Additionally, there was a $59 decrease in gross profit before depreciation expense.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Historically, we have supplemented the financing
of our capital needs through debt and equity financings.
Credit Facility
Since 2008, we have maintained a credit facility
(the “Facility”) with Whitney. The Facility has been amended and restated several times, most recently effective
March 30, 2015 when we entered into the seventh amendment (“Seventh Amendment”).
The relevant terms of the Seventh Amendment
include:
| · | a change to the definition of earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) to permit in the calculation, in the quarter ended
December 31, 2014, the add-back of a non-recurring charge of $4,916 related to the impairment of our goodwill; |
| · | a waiver, for the quarter ended December
31, 2014, for our noncompliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant under the Facility; |
| · | a requirement that we maintain a compensating
balance of $3,900 in our existing interest-bearing account at Whitney, to continue until such time as we have regained compliance
with all of our covenants under the Facility subsequent to the quarter ended December 31, 2014. |
Other current relevant terms of the Facility
include:
| · | a committed amount of $5,000 under the
revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”), maturing June 30, 2015, subject to a borrowing base limitation
based on eligible trade accounts receivable; the Revolving Credit Facility may be used to borrow cash (at an interest
rate of 3.5 percent per annum) or to issue bank letters of credit (at a fee of 1 percent per annum); both cash borrowings
and the issuance of bank letters of credit reduce the available capacity under the commitment; the available borrowing and letter
of credit capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility at March 31, 2015 was $1,585; |
| · | a real estate term facility (“RE
Term Facility”) of $2,000, at an interest rate of 4.0 percent per annum, maturing April 15, 2018, with the Company being
obligated to make monthly increasing repayments of principal (along with accrued and unpaid interest thereon) starting at $8, beginning
April 1, 2013; |
| · | a carousel term facility (“Carousel
Term Facility”) of $2,200, at an interest rate of 3.5 percent per annum, maturing October 15, 2016, with the Company being
obligated to make monthly repayment of principal of $65 (along with accrued and unpaid interest thereon) beginning July 1, 2014; |
| · | outstanding balances under the Facility
are secured by all of the Company’s assets. |
As of March 31, 2015, the Company had indebtedness
under the Facility consisting of the Revolving Credit Facility, the RE Term Facility, and the Carousel Term Facility, in amounts
equal to $3,000, $1,797, and $ 1,615, respectively. Additionally, a bank letter of credit issued under the Revolving Credit
Facility in the amount of $415 was outstanding at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. See Note 9 “Commitments and
Contingencies”, of the notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
As mentioned above, our Facility obligates
us to comply with certain financial covenants. They are as follows:
| · | Leverage Ratio - The ratio of total debt
to consolidated EBITDA must be less than 3.0 to 1.0; actual Leverage Ratio as of March 31, 2015: 4.69 to 1.0. |
| · | Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio - The ratio
of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated net interest expense, plus principal payments on total debt, must be greater than 1.5 to
1.0; actual Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio as of March 31, 2015: 1.15 to 1.0. |
| · | Tangible Net Worth - Our consolidated
net worth, after deducting other assets as are properly classified as “intangible assets,” plus 50 percent of net income,
after provision for taxes, must be in excess of $16,700; actual Tangible Net Worth as of March 31, 2015: $24,715. |
| · | Moreover, we continue to have obligations
for other covenants, including, among others, limitations on issuance of common stock, liens, transactions with affiliates, additional
indebtedness and permitted investments. |
As of March 31, 2015, we were in partial compliance
with our financial covenants, except for the Leverage Ratio and Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio requirements. Whitney has provided
us with a waiver for our noncompliance with these covenants. Because we do not believe that it is probable that we will be in compliance
with all of our covenants under the Facility for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2015 we have classified all of our debt under
the Facility as current as of March 31, 2015.
As a result of the Credit Facility and cash
we expect to generate from operations, we believe we will have adequate liquidity to meet our future operating requirements.
Inflation and Seasonality
We do not believe that our operations are significantly
impacted by inflation. Our business is not significantly seasonal in nature.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that
have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues
or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates used in our financial
statements relate to revenue recognition where we use percentage-of completion accounting on our large fixed-price contracts, the
allowance for doubtful accounts, and the valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets. These estimates require judgments,
which we base on historical experience and on various other assumptions, as well as specific circumstances. Estimates may change
as new events occur, additional information becomes available or operating environments change.
Refer to Part II. Item 2 “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2014 for a discussion of our Critical Accounting Policies.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Management believes that recently issued accounting standards, which
are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The
Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that such information required to be disclosed by the
Company in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are also
designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and the
principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. There are inherent limitations
to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention
or overriding of controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable
assurance that control objectives are attained. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide
such reasonable assurance.
The Company’s management, with the participation
of the principal executive and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s
disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2015, as required by Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based upon
that evaluation, the principal executive and the principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure
controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2015.
Management’s Report on Internal Control
Over Financial Reporting. The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal controls over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Although the internal
controls over financial reporting were not audited, the Company’s management, including the principal executive and principal
financial officer, assessed the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting as of March 31, 2015, based on
criteria issued in 1992 by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) entitled “Internal
Control-Integrated Framework.” Upon evaluation, the Company’s management has concluded that the Company’s
internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of March 31, 2015.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. The Company’s management, with the participation
of the principal executive and principal financial officer, has concluded that there were no changes in internal control over financial
reporting during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2015.
PART II. – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we are involved in legal
proceedings arising in the normal course of business. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we were not involved
in any material actual or pending legal proceedings.
