Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
(unaudited)
(1) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, which were solely of a normal recurring nature, necessary to a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods, have been made. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year. The Notes contained herein should be read in conjunction with the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements filed with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
(2) Segment Reporting
UQM Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”, “UQM”, “we”, or “us”) has performed its quarterly assessment to determine if additional disclosures are required for segment reporting. Management has determined that the Company has one operating segment because the chief operating decision maker and management make business decisions based on product and contract services revenues taken as a whole. Therefore, no further disclosure is required at this time. Management will perform an assessment quarterly to determine if additional disclosures around this standard are needed in the future.
(3) New Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued its new lease accounting guidance in ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) in which the lessee should recognize an asset and liability that arise from leases no matter the type of lease the company enters into. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability allocated on a straight-line basis over the lease term to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset measured at the present value of the lease payments representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. All cash payments should be classified in the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows. Another requirement under the new standard is that a company must separate the lease components from the nonlease components in a contract. Only the lease components are subject to ASU 2016-02 recognition and measurement. Lessees may make an accounting policy election to not separate lease components from nonlease components. Both qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required. Recognition and measurement is required at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective or cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The new standard, ASC Topic 842, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method with the cumulative effect recorded as of January 1, 2019 and additional disclosures. See Note 17 for current disclosures.

(4) Going Concern
These Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements are presented on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern. The going concern concept contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As of March 31, 2019, the Company has sustained recurring losses from continuing operations, had a working capital deficit of $872,595 and accumulated deficit of $133,725,500. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance at March 31, 2019 was $2,910,507.
On March 15, 2017, the Company entered into a non-revolving line of credit for $5.6 million. The interest rate is variable based upon the one month LIBOR rate plus 4.0% per annum on the outstanding balance. The non-revolving line of credit will expire on September 15, 2019 and the amounts repaid during the term of the loan may not be reborrowed. At the expiry date, all outstanding principal and interest are due.
As of March 31, 2019, $4,664,529 was drawn on the line of credit. For additional information, see Note 10.
On January 21, 2019, the Company announced it had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Danfoss Power Solutions (US) Company (“Danfoss”)
. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement a wholly owned subsidiary of Danfoss will merge with and into the Company, and the Company will continue as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Danfoss (the “Merger”). The board of directors of the Company unanimously approved and declared advisable the Merger. If the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are consummated, the Company’s common stock will be delisted from the NYSE American stock exchange and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”).
Our existing cash resources and cash generated from our revenues are not expected to be sufficient to complete our business plan for the next twelve months. Given this expectation, we may need to renegotiate existing debt, secure additional debt or equity funding, which may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Therefore, management believes there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management believes completion of the Merger with Danfoss described above mitigates the substantial doubt raised by our historical operating result and fulfilling our estimated liquidity needs twelve months from the issuance of the financial statements. The Merger is subject to approval by our shareholders, which was obtained on April 23, 2019 at a Special Meeting of the Shareholders. The closing of the Merger is also subject to approval by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”) and therefore we are unable to predict with certainty the completion of the Merger.
(5) Revenue and Cost Recognition
Accounting Policies
Product Sales
- Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied. The majority of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation to transfer products. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue when control has been transferred to the customer, generally at the time of shipment of products. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products and is generally based upon a negotiated fixed price. The Company sells its products directly to customers under agreements with payment terms of prepayment or generally net 30 days for credit qualified customers.
Contract Services
- The majority of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation to transfer products or an agreed-upon task(s) over time. Accordingly, revenue is recognized using cost input methods, which recognize revenue and gross profit as work is performed based on the relationship between actual costs
Table of Contents
UQM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, Continued
(unaudited)
incurred compared to the total estimated costs of the contract, as the performance obligations are satisfied. Costs incurred towards contract completion may include costs associated with direct materials, labor, subcontractors, and other indirect costs.
Shipping and Handling Costs-
We account for shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers as costs to fulfill our promise to transfer the associated products. Accordingly, we record customer payment of shipping and handling costs as a component of net sales, and classify such costs as a component of cost of sales.
Product Warranties
- Our standard product warranty is for one year and provides assurance to the customer that the purchased product will function as intended and complies with agreed-upon specifications. A customer can negotiate an extended warranty period from four months up to four years. The cost of the warranty can be included in the price of the unit or separately stated as a line item in the contract. A majority of our customers have the warranty included in the sales price of the product which is then accounted for as a guarantee. Warranties that are stated as a separate line item in the contract are considered a single performance obligation which is recognized by the time elapsed input method.
Unearned Revenue
- When we receive consideration, or such consideration is unconditionally due, from a customer prior to transferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of a sales contract, we record unearned revenue, which represents a contract liability. We recognize unearned revenue as net sales after we have transferred control of the goods or services to the customer and all revenue recognition criteria are met.
License Agreements
- We account for our license agreements as multi-element arrangements. Each element in the arrangement is considered a single performance obligation and is treated accordingly. Revenue recognition for the licensing element in the agreement is recognized by the time elapsed input method. Revenue recognition for the product sales element follows the revenue recognition rules as noted above for product sales.
Disaggregation of Revenue
In the following table, revenue is disaggregated by geographic region (using the location of the client as the basis of attributing revenues to the individual regions):

Restricted cash represents the amount required to be set aside pursuant to a contractual agreement with the Company’s lender for the payment of interest on borrowings from the line of credit that is expected to be paid within the next twelve months. The restrictions will lapse when the related debt is paid back in full.
(7) Contracts in Process
At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the estimated period to complete contracts in process ranged from one to five and one to three months, respectively. We expect to collect all accounts receivable arising from these contracts within ninety days of billing.

We maintain raw material inventories of electronic components, motor parts and other materials to meet our expected manufacturing needs for proprietary products and for products manufactured to the design specifications of our customers. Some of these components may become obsolete or impaired due to bulk purchases in excess of customer requirements. Accordingly, we periodically assess our raw material and finished product inventories for potential impairment of value based on then available information, expectations and estimates and establish impairment reserves as appropriate. During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, no additional reserve was required.

(10) Debt
On March 15, 2017, the Company entered into a non-revolving line of credit for $5.6 million. The loan is collateralized by the Company’s headquarters facility. The interest rate is variable based upon the one month LIBOR rate plus 4.0% per annum on the outstanding balance which was 6.48% as of March 31, 2019. As a condition of the loan, $600,000 was immediately drawn on the line of credit to be used for monthly interest payments on borrowings over the life of the loan. This is reported as restricted cash on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The covenants under the debt agreement require the Company to have liquid assets with a minimum balance of $1.5 million held with the lender. In addition, financial statements are to be presented no later than 45 days after the end of each quarter and 90 days after the end of each fiscal year. These covenants took effect for the quarter ending June 30, 2017. As of March 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with its covenants. The non-revolving line of credit will expire on September 15, 2019 and the amounts repaid during the term of the loan may not be re-borrowed. At the expiry date, all outstanding principal and interest become due and payable in full. As of March 31, 2019, $4,664,529 was drawn on the line of credit. The Company incurred deferred financing costs of $73,060 upon securing the line of credit, and $32,320 during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 upon extending the maturity date.

As of March 31, 2019 and 2018, we had no provisions for interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various state jurisdictions.

(16) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued and other current liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
The Company measures the fair value of outstanding debt for disclosure purposes on a recurring basis and its debt of $4,637,596 is reported at amortized cost. The Company’s debt is subject to variable rates of interest and accordingly its carrying value is considered to be representative of its fair market value.

(17) Commitments and Contingencies
Employment Agreements
Effective July 1, 2017, the Company entered into employment agreements with each of its four officers, which have terms through December 31, 2019.
The aggregate future base salary payable to the executive officers over the remaining terms of their employment agreements is $823,503.
Lease Commitments
The Company currently leases a facility in Shanghai, China. The facility is used as a product service center and general office. The lease duration runs from the initiation date of July 30, 2018 to the expiration on August 31, 2022. At the time of expiration, UQM is eligible to negotiate a renewal to the lease. In the normal course of business, it is expected that this lease will be renewed or replaced by a similar lease on another property. This lease is the Company’s only operating lease and it has no financing leases.
This lease provides for a 10% increase in annual rental payments after two years, and in increments of two years thereafter. Further, a quarterly service fee of $558 is assessed with the last rental payment of each period and included in the rent amounts shown below. During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Company’s lease cost was $6,777 compared to $0 for the same quarter ended March 31, 2018. Lease costs are classified on the Statements of Operations as selling, general and administrative expenses. The depreciable life of lease assets is limited by the expected lease term and once terminated, there is no transfer of title.
The current lease agreement does not establish requirements for UQM to comply with covenants or to maintain certain financial ratios nor does it contain any variable lease payments.
The Company recognized a right of use asset of $113,416, and current and long term lease liabilities of $27,775 and $74,642, respectively.
The following is a maturity analysis of the payments discounted at our bank borrowing rate of 6.48% of the operating lease liabilities, inclusive of the quarterly service fees, as of March 31, 2019, assuming the ¥/$ exchange rate as of the same date:

Litigation
During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, seven legal complaints, including five putative class actions, were filed by purported stockholders of UQM challenging the Merger and/or the Company’s disclosures in the proxy statements filed with the SEC related to the Merger. These lawsuits are generally described in Item 1 of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
UQM believes that the claims asserted in each of these lawsuits are without merit. However, to avoid the risk of litigation delaying or adversely affecting the Merger, UQM made certain supplemental disclosures regarding the Merger and the circumstances surrounding the negotiation of the Merger Agreement in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 25, 2019. In connection therewith all of the plaintiffs agreed to voluntarily dismiss all claims asserted in their Lawsuits within five days of the closing of the Merger. Certain plaintiffs already have voluntarily dismissed their lawsuits and the remaining plaintiffs have agreed to voluntarily dismiss their Lawsuits within five days of the closing of the Merger.
The dismissals are subject to the plaintiffs requests for fees, which fees are not estimable at this time. Therefore, no provision has been made in the financial statements for the ultimate resolution of the Lawsuits. Management believes that the final resolution of the Lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Report contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act. These could be statements regarding our plans, beliefs or current expectations; including those plans, beliefs and expectations of our officers and directors with respect to, among other things, uncertainty regarding the timing and effect of the Plan of Merger and Merger Agreement (as described below) entered into between the Company and Danfoss Power Solutions (US) Company (“Danfoss), disruption in our business, customers and suppliers in connection with the Merger, failure or a delay in the contemplated merger with Danfoss, potential litigation related to the Merger, risks related to change in control provisions or delisting of the Company’s common stock, general business and economic conditions, international trade issues and geopolitical risks, our ability to enforce intellectual property rights in the U.S. and other countries, the impact of existing and future laws and regulations governing our products and operations, our ability to recruit and retain key executive and technical employees, the sufficiency of our cash and other resources to support our continued operations and liquidity needs over the coming twelve months, new product developments, future orders to be received from our customers, sales of products from inventory, future financial results, liquidity and the continued growth of the electric-powered vehicle industry.

Risk Factors.
Introduction
UQM develops, manufactures and sells power dense, high efficiency electric motors, generators, power electronic controllers and fuel cell compressors for the commercial truck, bus, automotive, marine, and industrial markets. We generate revenue from two principal activities: 1) the sale of motors, generators, electronic controls, and fuel cell compressors; and 2) research, development and application engineering contract services. Our product sales consist of annually recurring volume production, prototype low volume sales, and revenues derived from the sale of refurbished and serviced products. The sources of engineering service revenue typically vary from year to year and individual projects may vary substantially in their periods of performance and aggregate dollar value.
We have invested considerable financial and human resources into the development of our technology and manufacturing operations. We have developed and production-validated a full range of products for use in full-electric, hybrid electric, plug-in-hybrid and fuel cell applications for the commercial bus and truck, automotive, marine, military, and industrial markets. These products are all highly efficient permanent magnet designs and feature outstanding performance, package size and weight valued by our customers. Our production capabilities and capacity are sufficient to meet the demands of our current and future customers for the foreseeable future. We are certified as an IATF 16949 quality supplier, which is the highest level of quality standards in the automotive industry, and we are ISO 14001 certified, meeting the highest environmental standards. We have a management team with significant experience in the automotive industry and the requirements for high quality production programs and deep technical knowledge of the motor and controller business. We believe this team has the ability and background to grow the business to significantly higher levels, and if we are able to complete the Merger transaction (as described in this quarterly report) we believe we have adequate cash and bank financing resources to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months.
Our most important strategic initiative going forward is to develop customer relationships that lead to longer-term supply contracts. Volume production is the key to our on-going operations. We are attempting to drive business development primarily in the following ways:
|
·
|
|
We have created a well-defined, structured process intended to target potential customers of vehicle electric motor technology in the commercial truck/van and shuttles, passenger buses, automotive, marine, and other targeted markets both domestically and internationally, particularly in China.
|
|
·
|
|
We hired our first employees in China in 2016. As China represents the largest market in the world for electric vehicles, our presence in that market is critical to our long-term success. In 2018, we opened a service center in Shanghai, China to support our installed base of products there.
|
|
·
|
|
We have developed a customer pipeline where identified potential customers are synergistic and strategic in nature for longer-term growth potential.
|
|
·
|
|
We are continuing to attempt to build long term quantifiable and sustainable relationships within the identified target markets.
|
|
·
|
|
We provide service and support to our customers from pilot and test activities through commissioning processes and then ultimately leading to volume production operations.
|
|
·
|
|
We aim to improve our purchasing and manufacturing processes to develop competitive costs to ensure that our pricing to customers is market competitive.
|
|
·
|
|
We provide customized solutions intended to meet specification requirements that some customers require.
|
|
·
|
|
We participate in trade show events globally to demonstrate our products and engage with users of electric motor technology.
|
|
·
|
|
We actively involve all functional groups within the Company to support the needs of our customers.
|
We believe that the successful execution of these activities will lead us to secure volume production commitments from customers, so that our operations will become cash flow positive and ultimately profitable.
Recent Events
On January 21, 2019, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Danfoss Power Solutions (US) Company, a Delaware corporation (“Danfoss”), and Danfoss-2019 Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Danfoss (the “Merger Sub”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged (the “Merger”) with and into the Company, as a result of which the Company will continue as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Danfoss.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each issued and outstanding share of the Company’s common stock (each a “Company Share”), other than shares owned by Danfoss, Merger Sub, or any wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, or held in the Company’s treasury, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $1.71 per share in cash (the “Merger Consideration”). Each option to purchase Company Shares that is outstanding as of the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested) will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive the excess of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price of such option, less applicable taxes required to be withheld. Restricted stock that is not vested immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically fully vested and free of any restrictions immediately prior to the Effective Time, and will be treated as Company Shares for all purposes of the Merger Agreement, including the right to receive the Merger Consideration, subject to applicable withholdings. Outstanding warrants that are outstanding at the Effective Time will be cancelled and the holders issued a replacement warrant that will be exercisable for an amount in cash equal to the aggregate number of Common Shares underlying the warrant multiplied by the excess, if any of the Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price of the warrant.
The board of directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) unanimously approved and declared advisable the Merger, the Merger Agreement, and the other transactions contemplated thereby.
Completion of the transaction is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of specified closing conditions, including (i) the approval of the Merger Agreement by the holders of two-thirds of the issued and outstanding Company Shares (the “Company Stockholder Approval”), which was obtained at the Special Shareholders Meeting on April 23, 2019, (ii) receipt of required regulatory approvals, including from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, and (iii) other customary closing conditions, including the accuracy of each party’s representations and warranties (except where the failure of such representations and warranties to be true and correct would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in Merger Agreement)), each party’s performance in all material respects of its obligations under the Merger Agreement, and the absence of a Company Material Adverse Effect since the date of the Merger Agreement. Assuming the satisfaction of conditions, the Company expects the transaction to
close in the second quarter of 2019. Holders of outstanding Common Shares that did not vote in favor of the Merger may be entitled to exercise dissenter’s rights in accordance with the terms, conditions and procedures of the Colorado Business Corporation Act and to receive the payment of the fair value of such shares.
If the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are consummated, the Company Shares will be delisted from the NYSE American stock exchange and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
On April 23, 2019, we held a Special Shareholders Meeting to consider, among other things, the proposed Merger. At that meeting, our shareholders voted to approve the Merger. Assuming we obtain approval from the
Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”), we expect to close the Merger transaction, which we anticipate will happen in the quarter ended June 30, 2019 or soon thereafter.
Financial Condition
Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2019 were $2,910,507 and we had a working capital deficit of $872,595, compared with $1,918,570 and $836,263, respectively, at December 31, 2018. The change in cash and working capital during the quarter is primarily attributable to operating losses, acquisition of property and equipment, and investments in inventory, offset by cash received from the exercise of warrants.
Restricted cash at March 31, 2019 was $222,392 versus $296,314 at December 31, 2018. The restricted cash is reserved for payment of the interest on the line of credit.
Accounts receivable decreased $140,111 to $1,541,178 at March 31, 2019 from $1,681,289 at December 31, 2018. The decrease is primarily due to the mix in customer credit terms and customer prepayments at the end of the first quarter. Our sales are conducted through acceptance of customer purchase orders, or in some cases, through supply agreements. For international customers and customers without an adequate credit rating or history, our typical terms require irrevocable letters of credit or cash payment in advance of delivery. For credit qualified customers, our typical terms are net 30 days. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had no allowance for bad debts.
Total inventories increased $31,712 to $4,815,599 at March 31, 2019 from $4,783,887 at December 31, 2018 reflecting an increase in raw materials and work-in-process for confirmed sales orders to be sold to customers in 2019 and decreases in finished products from shipped orders.
Prepaid expenses and other current assets decreased to $282,403 at March 31, 2019 from $377,762 at December 31, 2018, primarily due to a decrease in vendor prepayments.
We invested $239,807 for the acquisition of property and equipment during the quarter ended March 31, 2019, compared to $32,220 during the comparable period last year. We purchased equipment for increased production needs.
Patent costs increased $11,307 during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 due to new patent costs offset by amortization, and trademark costs decreased $1,124 during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 due to amortization.
Accounts payable decreased $316,313 to $2,679,319 at March 31, 2019 from $2,995,632 at December 31, 2018, primarily due to the timing of payments of invoices.
Unearned revenue increased to $1,308,664 at March 31, 2019 from $736,819 at December 31, 2018. The increase is attributable to an increase in customer deposits for future shipments.
Other current liabilities increased to $1,788,979 at March 31, 2019 from $1,394,150 at December 31, 2018. The change is attributable to an increase in accrued warranty costs and professional fees incurred during the quarter primarily in relation to the proposed Merger, partially offset by the payment and reduction of accrued property taxes.
Deferred contract liability related to engineering services contracts were $230,116 and $110,727 at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The increase was due to increased advance billings of contract services.
Debt, net of deferred financing costs, decreased $19,161 during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 due to amortization of the deferred financing costs.
Other long-term liabilities increased $62,123 to $168,282 at March 31, 2019 from $106,159 at December 31, 2018 due to recognizing the long term portion of our Shanghai service center lease.
Common stock and additional paid-in capital were $562,222 and $137,323,841, respectively, at March 31, 2019 compared to $542,674 and $134,645,911 at December 31, 2018. The increase in common stock and additional paid-in capital were primarily attributable to the issuance of common stock under the employee stock purchase plan, the exercise of warrants and the periodic expensing of non-cash share-based payments associated with option and stock grants under our equity compensation plans.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the dollar values reported in the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. There have been no material changes in our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements based on any of our critical accounting policies including the adoption of ASC 842 as of January 1, 2019.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as foreign currency exchange and interest rates. We do not use financial instruments to any degree to manage these risks and do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. All of our product sales and related receivables are payable in U.S. dollars.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of March 31, 2019, we performed an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2019.
There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
