1. organization and nature of business and uncertainty

Horne International, Inc. (the “Company” or “we”, “us”, “our” or similar terms), headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia, is an engineering services company focused on the provision of integrated, systems approach based solutions to the energy and environmental sectors. The Company’s solutions are sustainable, agile, and provide immediate, as well as long term results. The Company’s service and product offerings encompass engineering, environment, and energy solutions. We provide products and services to both commercial customers and to the United States Government.

Discontinued operations include the results of our Spectrum subsidiary that we decided to close in June 2008.

The Company’s independent registered public accountants stated in their report on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2011, that the Company has had recurring operating losses that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. For the nine months ended September 23, 2012, the Company incurred a loss from continuing operations of approximately $1,249 million and had a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $1,667 million as of that date. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recovery and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue as a going concern.

The Company is dependent upon available cash and operating cash flow in addition to financing cash inflows to meet its capital needs. The Company is considering all strategic options to improve its liquidity and provide it with working capital to fund its continuing business operations which include equity offerings, assets sales or debt financing as alternatives to improve its cash requirements.

During 2008, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Darryl K. Horne, the Company’s President and Interim Chief Executive Officer. The loan permitted the Company to borrow up to $525,000 at 8% interest. As of September 23, 2012, the principal outstanding balance is $493,507 and the accrued interest balance is $94,523.

In February 2011, the Company entered into a financing agreement with United Capital Funding Corporation under which the Company is able to factor certain eligible accounts receivable. The agreement calls for a minimum fee of 0.425% of the invoice amount for the first five day period and an additional 0.425% for each five day period thereafter until the invoice is paid. The Company is able to receive 80% of any invoices factored to the lender. As of September 23, 2012, the outstanding balance is zero. The loan is not convertible into any Company securities.

In March 2011, the Company entered into a receivables financing agreement with Evan Auld-Susott, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, as agent of the Susott Family Limited Partnership (FLP). Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Auld-Susott agreed to finance specific accounts receivable under a line of credit for up to $500,000 at an interest rate of 13 percent. As of September 23, 2012, the outstanding balance is $190,000 and the accrued interest balance is $24,323. The loan is not convertible into any Company securities.

On December 29, 2011, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with Trevor Foster pursuant to which the Company borrowed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) from Mr. Foster in exchange for a promissory note in the principal amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). The note is payable on a quarterly basis and fully due and payable December 29, 2013. The Loan Agreement and Promissory Note provide for interest at a rate of 7% per annum on the outstanding principal, payable quarterly beginning March 31, 2012. The note is unsecured. On May 7, 2012 an amendment was made to the Loan Agreement that permits Mr. Foster to convert the entire principal loan balance into Company common stock at a conversion price equal to $.10 per share. As of September 23, 2012, the outstanding balance of the loan is $100,000 and the accrued interest balance is $5,221.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

On December 29, 2011, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with Darryl K. Horne, the Company’s President and Interim Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which the Company borrowed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) from Mr. Horne in exchange for a Promissory Note in the principal amount of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000). The note is payable on a quarterly basis and fully due and payable December 29, 2013. The Loan Agreement and Promissory Note provide for interest at a rate of 7% per annum on the outstanding principal, payable quarterly beginning March 31, 2012. The note is unsecured. On May 7, 2012 an amendment was made to the Loan Agreement that permits Mr. Horne to convert the entire principal loan balance into Company common stock at a conversion price equal to $.10 per share. As of September 23, 2012, the outstanding balance is $50,000 and the accrued interest balance is $2,610.48.

On January 3, 2012, 91 Hill, LLC, an entity affiliated with Evan Auld-Susott, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, exercised 500,000 of its stock options at the exercise price of $0.10 per share, and received 500,000 shares of the Company common stock.

On March 6, 2012, the Company notified Intelligent Decisions, Inc. of the termination of the Stock Option Agreement and Restricted Stock Agreement between the Company and Intelligent Decisions. The Company cancelled 4,166,667 options associated with the agreements. As of June 24, 2012, the Company cancelled the remaining 4,166,667 options of stock associated with the agreement. This action has resulted in the possibility of a contingent liability and pending litigation. See Note 9 – Contingent Liabilities below.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of Horne International, Inc. include accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the nine month periods ended September 23, 2012, and September 25, 2011 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the periods presented.

The results of operations for the nine month period ended September 23, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2011.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are derived from three sources:

(i)

Government Contracts Services fees, related to professional services and reimbursable travel and training. Revenues from cost reimbursable contracts are recorded as reimbursable costs are incurred, including an estimated share of the applicable contractual fees earned. For performance-based fees under cost reimbursable contracts, we recognize the relevant portion of the expected fee to be awarded by the client at the time such fee can be reasonably estimated, based on factors such as prior award experience and communications with the client regarding performance. For cost reimbursable contracts with performance-based fee incentives, we recognize the relevant portion of the fee upon customer approval. For time-and-materials contracts, revenue is recognized based on billable rates times hours delivered plus materials and other reimbursable costs incurred.

(ii)

License, installation and maintenance fees, as an agent of implementation of network services. We recognize revenue on a net basis excluding taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities.

Horne International, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(iii)

Reselling of hosted module leased equipment to retain ownership. Revenue is recognized once delivery has occurred.

In all cases, revenue is only recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed and determinable, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The Company estimates an allowance for services provided.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing the asset and liability method. This approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enacted date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company currently has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $55 million at September 23, 2012. The Company has not recorded any related federal tax benefit in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, due to the possibility that the net operating loss carry forward may not be utilized, for various reasons, including the potential that the Company might not have sufficient profits to use the carry forward or the carry forward may be limited as a result of changes in the Company’s equity ownership. The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification topic 740, subtopic 10 on January 1, 2007, which requires financial statement benefits to be recognized for positions taken for tax return purposes when it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained. There has been no change in our financial position and results of operation due to the adoption of this standard.

Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted loss per share is computed in a manner consistent with that of basic loss per share while giving effect to the impact of common stock equivalents. The Company’s common stock equivalents consist of employee, director, and consultant stock options to purchase common stock. Common stock equivalents of 2,960,380, and 7,654,600 were not included in the computation of diluted (loss) income per share for the nine months ended September 23, 2012, and September 25, 2011, respectively, as the inclusion of these common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive.

Stock-based Compensation

The fair values of stock option awards are determined using the Black-Sholes option pricing model. The compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The Company, beginning in 2006, has included a vesting period for most options granted. See Note 7 for a detailed discussion of the Company’s stock option plan. The Company accounts for stock incentive plans by measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based awards on estimated fair values, net of estimated and actual forfeitures, on a straight line basis over the period during which the employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of those instruments. The carrying amount and fair market value of the Company’s short-term investments are the same since short-term investments are recorded at fair value. Debt is recorded at the cash settlement value of the underlying notes and is not revalued.

Horne International, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recent accounting pronouncements will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3. RECEIVABLES (000’s)

Receivables primarily comprise of amounts due to the Company for work performed on contracts directly related to commercial and government customers. The Company has a nominal bad debt reserve as most of our contracts are with governmental entities.

Unbilled receivables represent recoverable costs and estimated earnings consisting principally of contract revenues that have been recognized for accounting purposes but are not yet billable to the customer based upon the respective contract terms.

Darryl Horne Notes

During 2008, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Darryl K. Horne, the Company’s President and Interim Chief Executive Officer. The agreement permitted the Company to borrow up to $525,000 at an 8% interest rate. The interest is payable quarterly beginning in July 1, 2008, with principal payable upon demand.

On December 29, 2011, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with Mr. Darryl K.

Evan Auld-Susott Notes

In March 2011, the Company entered into a receivables financing agreement with Evan Auld-Susott, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, as agent of the Susott Family Limited Partnership. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Auld-Susott agreed to finance specific accounts receivable under a line of credit for up to $500,000 at an interest rate of 13%. The outstanding balance and accrued interest is $190,000 and $24,323, respectively, as of September 23, 2012. The receivable is not convertible into any Company securities.

Other Borrowings

On December 29, 2011, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with Trevor Foster pursuant to which the Company borrowed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) from Mr. Foster in exchange for a promissory note in the principal amount of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000). The note is payable on a quarterly basis and fully due and payable December 29, 2013. The Loan Agreement and Promissory Note provide for interest at a rate of 7% per annum on the outstanding principal, payable quarterly beginning March 31, 2012. The note is unsecured. In May 2012 the note was amended to be payable, at the option of Mr. Foster, by conversion into common stock at a per share price equal to $.10 per share. Mr. Foster has agreed to defer the quarterly payments. As of September 23, 2012, the outstanding balance of the loan is $100,000 and the interest balance is $5,221.

The convertible notes issued to Mr. Horne and Mr. Foster contain a "beneficial conversion" feature that required separate recognition, at issuance, of a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of the feature as additional paid-in-capital. This "discount" is being amortized using the effective interest method through a charge to interest expense over the term of the notes. The notes are convertible into 1,500,000 shares of common stock.

6. Line of Credit

In April 2011, the Company entered into a financing agreement with United Capital Funding under which the Company is able to factor certain eligible accounts receivable. The Company is able to receive 85 percent of any invoices factored to the lender. The agreement calls for a minimum factoring fee of 4.25% for the first five days and 4.25% for each additional five day period.

7. STock Option plan

On March 22, 2010, the Company entered into a strategic partnership with Intelligent Decisions, Inc. (“Intelligent”). Intelligent is an information technology services company headquartered in Ashburn, Virginia, servicing both commercial and government customers. The agreement between the parties provide for Intelligent to provide business support services to the Company. On March 6, 2012, the Company notified Intelligent Decisions, Inc. of the termination of the Stock Option Agreement and Restricted Stock Agreement between the Company and Intelligent Decisions and cancelled 4,166,667 options. As of June 24, 2012, the Company cancelled the remaining 4,166,667 options associated with the agreements. This has resulted in the possibility of a contingent liability and legal litigation. See Note 9 – Commitments and Contingent Liabilities below.

On January 3, 2012, 91 Hill, LLC, Evan Auld-Susott, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, exercised 500,000 of its stock options at the exercise price of $0.10 per share, and received 500,000 shares of the Company common stock.

The Company has a stock option plan available to eligible employees, non-employee directors, consultants and advisors to acquire proprietary interests in the Company by providing eligible persons an additional incentive to promote the success of the Company as deemed appropriate by senior management. This is accomplished by providing for the granting of Non-Statutory Stock Options to employees, non-employee directors, consultants and advisors. During the first nine months of 2012, the Company did not make any option grants.

The table below summarizes our stock option activity during the nine months ended September 23, 2012.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, activity levels, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, activity levels, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “could”, “expect”, “estimate”, “may”, “potential”, “will”, and “would”, or similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they discuss our future expectations, contain projections of our future results of operations or of our financial position, or state other forward-looking information. We believe it is important to communicate our future expectations to our investors. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to predict or control accurately. The factors listed in the section captioned “Risk Factors,” contained in our Annual Report of Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2011, as well as any cautionary language in this Form 10-Q, provide examples of risks, uncertainties, and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, activity levels, performance or achievements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. Subsequent events and developments may cause our views to change. While we may elect to update the forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Critical Accounting Policies and estimates

In our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2011, our most critical accounting policies and estimates upon which our financial status depends were identified as those relating to revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards, and impairment of long-lived assets. We reviewed our policies and determined that those policies remain our most critical accounting policies for the nine months ended September 23, 2012.

Comparison of THREE Months Ended September 23, 2012, and September 25, 2011

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements (and notes thereto) and other financial information of the Company appearing elsewhere in this report.

Consolidated Overview (000’s)

	September 23, 2012					September 25, 2011
Total revenue	$	1,001		100.0	%	$	1,469		100.0	%
Gross profit		158		15.8	%		130		8.8	%
Operating loss	$	(330	)	-33.0	%		(303	)	-20.6	%

Revenue for the quarter ended September 23, 2012, decreased by approximately $469,000, as compared to the quarter ended September 25, 2011. The main driver of revenue decrease was a decline in task orders under our Army Corps of Engineers (ACE) contract. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased due to a decrease in low margin deliverables offset by higher margin contracts. The overall operating loss increased in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011 primarily due to the costs associated with investments in new business areas.

Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 23, 2012, and September 25, 2011

Consolidated Overview (000’s)

	September 23, 2012					September 25, 2011
Total revenue	$	3,405		100.0	%	$	3,812		100.0	%
Gross profit		458		13.5	%		439		11.5	%
Operating loss		(974	)	-28.6	%		(864	)	-22.7	%

Revenue for the nine months ended September 23, 2012, decreased by approximately $408,000, as compared to the nine months ended September 25, 2011. The main driver of revenue decrease was the task orders revenue under our Army Corps of Engineers (ACE) contract in the first quarter 2012. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased due to a decrease in low margin deliverables. The overall operating loss increased in the first nine months of 2012 compared to the first nine months of 2011 primarily due to increased stock option expense and low margin revenues in third quarter 2012 and investments in new business areas.

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued operations include the results of Spectrum Sciences & Software, Inc. subsidiary that was closed in June 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash totaled approximately $44,000 at September 23, 2012. During the nine months ended September 23, 2012 cash decreased by approximately $108,000 of cash predominantly due to $795, 000 used in operations offset by $685,000 provided by financing activities.

Horne International, Inc.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

In February 2011, the Company entered into a financing agreement with United Capital Funding Corporation under which the Company is able to factor certain eligible accounts receivable. The agreement calls for a minimum fee of 4.25% of the invoice amount for the first five day period and an additional 4.25% for each five day period thereafter until the invoice is paid. The Company is able to receive 80% of any invoices factored to the lender. As of September 23, 2012, the outstanding balance was zero.

As of September 23, 2012, the aggregate outstanding principal balance to Mr. Horne is $493,507 and the accrued interest is $94,523 for both notes.

In March 2011, the Company entered into a receivables financing agreement with Evan Auld-Susott, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, as agent of the Susott Family Limited Partnership (FLP). Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Auld-Susott agreed to finance specific accounts receivable under a line of credit for up to $500,000 at an interest rate of 13%. As of September 23, 2012, the outstanding balance is $190,000 and interest outstanding is $24,323. The loan is not convertible into any Company securities.

On December 29, 2011, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with Mr. Trevor Foster pursuant to which the Company borrowed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) from Mr. Foster in exchange for a promissory note in the principal amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). The note is payable on a quarterly basis and fully due and payable December 29, 2013. The Loan Agreement and Promissory Note provide for interest at a rate of 7% per annum on the outstanding principal, payable quarterly beginning March 31, 2012. The note is unsecured. The note has been amended to be payable, at the option of the lender, by conversion into common stock at a per share price equal to $.10 per share. As of September 23, 2012, the outstanding balance is $100,000 and interest of $4,221 and Mr. Foster waived the quarterly payments.

As discussed in our 2010 Form 10-K, the Company has substantial liquidity challenges. While we continue to work towards profitability, there is a significant uncertainty that the Company will have sufficient cash flow to sustain its operations.

The Company continues to pursue additional funding sources in the event that funds from operations and financing are not sufficient to provide for our operations. The Company anticipates that these funding sources would primarily be in the form of notes from related parties or non-traditional, non-banking sources. Given our past financial performance, the costs and fees associated with funding sources may be more expensive than the Company has historically paid. The Company cannot determine if the funds available from operations will be sufficient for any acquisitions or facility expansions that may be undertaken during the year. Should the Company make any acquisitions or expansions, other sources of financing may be required.

The Company has no present commitments for additional financing. There is no guarantee that such additional financing will be available to the Company on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

In addition to the risks inherent in our operations, we are exposed to contractual, financial, market, political and economic risks. The following discussion provides additional detail regarding our exposure to interest rates and foreign exchange rates.

Government Contracts

The funding of U.S. government programs is subject to Congressional appropriations. Although multi-year contracts may be authorized in connection with major procurements, Congress generally appropriates funds on a fiscal-year basis, even though a program may continue for many years. Consequently, programs are often only partially funded initially, and additional funds are committed only as Congress makes further appropriations. Provisions in these contracts permit termination, in whole or in part, without prior notice, at the government’s convenience or upon contractor default under the contract. Compensation in the event of a termination, if any, is limited to work completed at the time of termination. In the event of termination for convenience, the contractor may receive a certain allowance for profit on the work performed.

Foreign Exchange Risk

We currently do not have any foreign currency risk and accordingly, estimate that an immediate 10 percent change in foreign exchange rates would have no impact on our reported net loss. We do not currently utilize any derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency risks.

Horne International, Inc.

Controls and Procedures

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 (e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). In designing and evaluating its disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, management was necessarily required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Based upon that evaluation, management concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered in this report.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, management has conducted an assessment, including testing using criteria described in Internal Control-integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Because of the inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which, if not remedied effectively, could have an adverse effect on the trading price of our common stock and otherwise seriously harm our business. Management through, in part, the documentation and assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and pursuant to the rules promulgated by the SEC under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and item 308 of Regulation S-K has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting had material weaknesses, as of September 23, 2012. Management of the Company does not have the ability to effectively and efficiently prepare consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission Form l0-Q. We have taken certain actions to begin to address the material weaknesses. Our inability to remedy such material weaknesses promptly and effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition, as well as impair our ability to meet our quarterly and annual reporting requirements in a timely manner.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the fiscal quarter ended September 23, 2012 there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13 a-I 5(f under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
