SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
Interim reporting
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ocean Bio-Chem, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned, and OdorStar Technology, LLC (“OdorStar”), a joint venture in which the Company has a controlling interest. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior-period data have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term “Company” refers to Ocean Bio-Chem, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
The financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.
The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Use of estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

ODORSTAR JOINT VENTURE
|
In 2010, the Company and BBL Distributors, LLC (“BBL”) organized OdorStar. OdorStar owns patents that relate to a formula and delivery system (the “Patents”), for use with products containing chlorine dioxide, designed to safely prevent and eliminate odors relating to mold, mildew and other sources of unpleasant odors. Under OdorStar’s Operating Agreement, each of the Company and BBL are required to make monthly payments to OdorStar, based on purchases of products incorporating the patented technology, to provide for operating expenses. In addition, prior to August 6, 2013, OdorStar paid a royalty, funded by the Company and BBL based upon their respective sales of products encompassing the patented technology, to an unaffiliated company that sold the Patents to BBL (BBL subsequently contributed the Patents to OdorStar). On August 6, 2013, the Company purchased the unaffiliated company’s royalty rights for $160,000. The Company and BBL Distributors, LLC share equally in profits or losses from OdorStar. Because the Company manages OdorStar, it has consolidated OdorStar in its financial statements. The Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets include approximately $470,000 and $496,000 in assets and $27,000 and $7,000 in liabilities of OdorStar at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations include OdorStar’s operating income of approximately $14,000 and OdorStar’s operating loss of approximately $19,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and operating losses of $45,000 and $58,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT
|
On July 6, 2011, the Company, together with its subsidiary, Kinpak Inc. (“Kinpak”), entered into a Credit Agreement with Regions Bank (and, pursuant to an Equipment Finance Addendum to the Credit Agreement, Regions Equipment Finance Corporation (“REFCO”)). Under the Credit Agreement, the Company’s revolving line of credit with Regions Bank was renewed. The terms of the revolving line of credit, as renewed, provide that the Company may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $6 million or (ii) a borrowing base equal to 80% of eligible accounts receivable plus 50% of eligible inventory. Interest on the revolving line of credit is payable at the 30 day LIBOR rate plus 1.74% per annum (unless the Company’s debt service coverage ratio (net profit plus taxes, interest, depreciation, amortization and rent expense divided by debt service plus interest and lease/rent expense) falls to or below 2.0 to 1, in which case the interest is payable at the 30 day LIBOR rate plus 2.75% per annum). In no event will the interest rate be less than 2.0% per annum. Outstanding amounts under the revolving line of credit are payable on demand. If no demand is made, the Company may repay and reborrow funds from time to time. The Company’s obligations under the revolving line of credit are secured by the Company’s accounts receivable and inventory, as well as real property and equipment at Kinpak’s Montgomery, Alabama facility. The Company’s obligations under the revolving line of credit and the term loan discussed in Note 7 below are cross-collateralized. Interest on amounts borrowed under the revolving line of credit is payable in monthly installments on outstanding average balances, with all outstanding principal and interest payable on July 6, 2014. The Credit Agreement includes financial covenants requiring a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 1.75 to 1.00, tested on a rolling four-quarter basis, and a maximum debt to capitalization ratio (funded debt divided by the sum of total net worth and funded debt) of 0.75 to 1, tested quarterly. At September 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had borrowings of $300,000 and $0, respectively, under the revolving line of credit.
On July 6, 2011, under the Equipment Finance Addendum to the Credit Agreement, REFCO provided to the Company a $2,430,000 term loan with a fixed interest rate of 3.54%. Principal and interest on the term loan are payable in equal monthly installments through July 6, 2017, the date on which the term loan matures. The proceeds of the term loan were used to pay the Company’s remaining obligations under a lease agreement relating to industrial revenue bonds used to fund the expansion of Kinpak’s facilities and acquisition of related equipment. At September 30, 2013, approximately $1,611,000 was outstanding under the term loan.
At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company was obligated under various capital lease agreements covering equipment utilized in the Company’s operations. The capital leases, aggregating $23,589 and $37,552 at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, have varying maturities through 2015 and carry interest rates ranging from 7% to 14%.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
|
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company sold products to companies affiliated with its Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. The affiliated companies distribute the products outside of the United States and Canada. The Company also provides administrative services to these companies. Sales to the affiliated companies aggregated approximately $397,000 and $386,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $1,337,000 and $997,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Administrative fees aggregated approximately $83,000 and $70,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $319,000 and $216,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company had accounts receivable from the affiliated companies in connection with the product sales and administrative services aggregating approximately $443,000 and $556,000 at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Transactions with the affiliated companies were made in the ordinary course of business. While the terms of sale to the affiliated companies differed from the terms applicable to other customers, the affiliated companies bear their own warehousing, distribution, advertising, selling and marketing costs, as well as their own freight charges (the Company pays freight charges in connection with sales to its domestic customers on all but small orders). Moreover, the Company does not pay sales commissions with respect to products sold to the affiliated companies. As a result, the Company believes its profit margins with respect to sales to the affiliated companies are similar to the profit margins with respect to sales to its larger domestic customers. Management believes that the sales transactions did not involve more than normal credit risk or present other unfavorable features.
A subsidiary of the Company currently uses the services of an entity that is owned by its Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer to conduct product research and development, marketing and advertising. The Company paid the entity approximately $10,500 for each of the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and $31,500 for each of the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, under this arrangement.
The Company leases office and warehouse facilities in Fort Lauderdale, Florida from an entity controlled by its Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. The Company believes that the rental payments are below market rates. See Note 9 for a description of the lease terms.
A director of the Company is Regional Executive Vice President of an entity from which the Company sources most of its insurance needs at an arm’s length competitive basis. During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company paid an aggregate of approximately $72,000 and $171,000, respectively, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company paid an aggregate of approximately $405,000 and $443,000, respectively, in insurance premiums on policies obtained through the entity.
The Company leases its executive offices and warehouse facilities in Fort Lauderdale, Florida from an entity controlled by its Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. On May 16, 2013, the term of the lease, which was scheduled to expire on May 1, 2018, was extended through December 31, 2023. The lease requires annual minimum base rent of $94,800 and provides for a maximum annual 2% increase in subsequent years, although the entity has not raised the minimum rent since the Company entered into a previous lease agreement in 1998. Additionally, the leasing entity is entitled to reimbursement of all taxes, assessments, and any other expenses that arise from ownership. Each of the parties to the lease has agreed to review the terms of the lease every three years at the request of the other party. Rent expense under the lease was approximately $24,000 for each of the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and was approximately $73,000 for each of the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
The Company leases from the Alabama State Port Authority a 1.5 acre docking facility on the Alabama River, located approximately eleven miles from the Company’s Alabama manufacturing facility. The lease expires on September 30, 2014, and requires the Company to pay rent and additional expenses totaling approximately $8,000 annually.
Basic earnings per share is calculated based on net income attributable to Ocean Bio-Chem, Inc. and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted earnings per share reflect additional dilution from potential common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share, as well as a reconciliation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding to the weighted average number of shares outstanding on a diluted basis.

Forward-looking Statements:
Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including without limitation, our ability to provide required capital to support inventory levels, the effect of price increases in raw materials that are petroleum or chemical based or commodity chemicals on our margins, and the sufficiency of funds provided through operations and existing sources of financing to satisfy our cash requirements constitute forward-looking statements. For this purpose, any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as "believe," "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," or "could," including the negative or other variations thereof or comparable terminology, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual results to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that may affect these results include, but are not limited to, the highly competitive nature of our industry; reliance on certain key customers; changes in consumer demand for marine, recreational vehicle and automotive products; advertising and promotional efforts; exposure to market risks relating to changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, prices for raw materials that are petroleum or chemical based and other factors.
Overview:
We are principally engaged in manufacturing, marketing and distributing a broad line of appearance, performance and maintenance products for the marine, automotive, power sports, recreational vehicle and outdoor power equipment markets, under the Star brite®, StarTron® and other trademarks within the United States of America and Canada. In addition, we produce private label formulations of many of our products for various customers and provide custom blending and packaging services for these and other products. We sell our products through national retailers and to national and regional distributors who, in turn, sell our products to specialized retail outlets.
Critical accounting estimates:
See “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Estimates" in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 for information regarding our critical accounting estimates.
Results of Operations:
Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2012
Net sales were approximately $10,441,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to approximately $10,262,000 during the corresponding period in 2012, an increase of $179,000 or 1.7%. The sales growth in the third quarter was principally due to continuing increased sales of our fuel additive, Star Tron®, and our antifreeze products. These sales increases were partially offset by a decline in sales of private label products. Sales of marine maintenance products were stronger in the later part of the third quarter as weather remained warmer than usual in most parts of the United States.
Cost of goods sold and gross profit – Cost of goods sold increased by approximately $261,000 or 3.7% to approximately $7,258,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2013, from approximately $6,997,000 during the same period in 2012. The increase in cost of goods sold reflects the increase in net sales and an increase in raw material costs.
Gross profit decreased by approximately $82,000 or 2.5% to approximately $3,182,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, from approximately $3,264,000 during the same period in 2012, as the result of the factor described above.
As a percentage of net sales, gross profit was approximately 30.5% and 31.8% for the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 respectively. The decreased gross profit percentage is a result of increased antifreeze sales which have a lower profit margin than our other products, and the increased raw material costs described above.
Advertising and promotion expenses decreased to approximately $633,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from approximately $784,000 during the corresponding period in 2012, a decrease of approximately $151,000 or 19.2%. As a percentage of net sales, advertising and promotion expense was approximately 6.1% in the third quarter of 2013 compared to approximately 7.6% in the third quarter of 2012. The decrease reflects lower expenses under our cooperative advertising programs with our larger customers, reflecting a decrease in sales to these customers. However, the Company anticipates that such sales, as well as related expenses under cooperative advertising programs, will increase in the fourth quarter of 2013 so that, on an annual basis, such sales and expenses will approximate 2012 levels. In addition, the decrease in advertising and promotion expenses reflects a decrease in magazine advertising.
Selling and administrative expenses increased by approximately $247,000 or 18.9%, from approximately $1,305,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2012 to approximately $1,552,000 during the same period in 2013. The increase was attributable to legal fees and, increased selling expenses related to higher net sales including salaries, commissions, and consumer rebates. As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses increased to 14.9% during the third quarter of 2013 as compared to 12.7% in the third quarter of 2012.
Interest expense decreased by approximately $6,000 to approximately $16,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to approximately $22,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease reflects lower average borrowing, under our revolving line of credit during the third quarter of 2013 compared to the third quarter of 2012. In addition, we continue to reduce the outstanding principal on our term loan.
Operating income – As a result of the foregoing, operating income was approximately $996,000 in the third quarter of 2013 compared to approximately $1,175,000 in the corresponding 2012 period, a decrease of approximately $179,000 or 15.2%.
Income taxes - Our income tax expense in the third quarter of 2013 was approximately $351,000, or 35.8% of pretax income, compared to approximately $389,000, or 33.8% of pretax income, during the corresponding period in 2012.
Net income and Net income attributable to Ocean Bio-Chem, Inc. - As a result of the factors described above, net income for the third quarter of 2013 decreased by approximately $132,000, or 17.3%, to $629,000 from approximately $761,000 in the third quarter of 2012. Net income attributable to Ocean Bio-Chem. Inc. decreased by approximately $149,000, or 19.3%, to approximately $622,000 in the third quarter 2013, from approximately $771,000 in 2012. Net income attributable to Ocean Bio-Chem, Inc. does not include income of approximately $7,000 for the third quarter of 2013 and a loss of approximately $10,000 for the third quarter of 2012, which are attributable to the interest of the other participant in the OdorStar Technology, LLC (“OdorStar”), joint venture. See Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012
Net sales were approximately $24,931,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to approximately $24,148,000 during the corresponding period in 2012, an increase of approximately $783,000 or 3.2%. The increase in sales principally results from the resumption by our largest customer of normal buying practices following completion of its inventory reduction program in our sector, which was in effect during the corresponding period in 2012, and increased sales to affiliated companies (see Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report), in addition to increased sales of, Star Tron®, and antifreeze products.
Cost of goods sold and gross profit – Cost of goods sold increased by approximately $658,000 or 4.1% to approximately $16,535,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, from approximately $15,877,000 during the same period in 2012. The increase in cost of goods sold reflects the increase in net sales and an increase in raw material costs.
Gross profit increased by approximately $124,000 or 1.5% to approximately $8,395,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, from approximately $8,271,000 for the same period in 2012, as the result of the factors described above.
As a percentage of net sales, gross profit was approximately 33.7% and 34.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decreased gross profit percentage is a result of increased antifreeze sales which have a lower profit margin than our other products, and the increased raw material cost.
Advertising and promotion expenses increased to approximately $2,019,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $1,890,000 during the corresponding period in 2012, an increase of approximately $129,000 or 6.8%. As a percentage of net sales, advertising and promotion expense was approximately 8.1% during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to approximately 7.8% in the comparable period of 2012. The increase is primarily a result of increased promotional and marketing expenses.
Selling and administrative expenses increased by approximately $616,000 or 15.5%, from approximately $3,965,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to approximately $4,581,000 during the same period in 2013. The increase was attributable to non cash stock based compensation, legal fees, and the Company’s selling activities relates to higher net sales, including sales commissions, consumer rebates and travel and entertainment expenses. As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses increased to 18.4% during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to 16.4% during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Interest expense decreased by approximately $24,000 to approximately $52,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to approximately $76,000 during the same period in 2012. The decrease reflects lower average borrowing, under our revolving line of credit during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. In addition, we continue to reduce the outstanding principal on our term loan.
Operating income – As a result of the foregoing, operating income was approximately $1,795,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to approximately $2,416,000 in the corresponding 2012 period, a decrease of approximately $621,000 or 25.7%.
Income taxes - Our income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was approximately $622,000, or 35.7% of pretax income, compared to approximately $871,000, or 37.2% of pretax income, during the corresponding period in 2012.
Net income and Net income attributable to Ocean Bio-Chem, Inc. - As a result of the factors described above, net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 decreased by approximately $348,000, or 23.7%, to $1,121,000 from approximately $1,469,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Net income attributable to Ocean Bio-Chem. Inc. decreased by approximately $355,000, or 23.7%, to approximately $1,143,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from approximately $1,498,000 in 2012. Net income attributable to Ocean Bio-Chem, Inc. does not include losses of approximately $22,000 and $29,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which are attributable to the interest of the other participant in the OdorStar, joint venture. See Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.
Liquidity and capital resources:
Our cash balance was approximately $679,000 at September 30, 2013 compared to approximately $1,508,000 at December 31, 2012. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had borrowings of $300,000 and $0, respectively, under our revolving line of credit.
Net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was approximately $266,000 compared to net cash used in operating activities of approximately $63,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in cash used in operating activities is primarily due to the approximate $348,000 decrease in net income partially offset by increases in stock based compensation and other non-cash expenses of $165,000.
Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $635,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to approximately $374,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we purchased rights relating to a royalty agreement for $160,000 (see note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information). In both periods cash was used for purchases of property, plant, and equipment, although such purchases were approximately $101,000 higher in the 2013 period. We continue to invest in our manufacturing facilities as we deem appropriate.
Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $75,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to net cash provided of approximately $627,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we had net borrowings under our revolving line of credit of $300,000, compared to net borrowings of $850,000 under the revolving line of credit during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
On July 6, 2011, we, together with our subsidiary, Kinpak Inc. (“Kinpak”), entered into a Credit Agreement with Regions Bank (and, pursuant to an Equipment Finance Addendum to the Credit Agreement, Regions Equipment Finance Corporation (“REFCO”)) under which (a) our revolving line of credit with Regions Bank was renewed, and (b)REFCO provided a new term loan in the amount of $2,430,000, the proceeds of which were used to pay the Kinpak’s remaining lease obligations in connection with the previously outstanding 2002 Series of Industrial Development Revenue Bonds issued by the City of Montgomery, Alabama (the “2002 Bonds”). The 2002 Bonds were used to fund the expansion of Kinpak’s facilities and acquisition of related equipment.
Under the term loan, we pay principal, together with interest at the fixed rate of 3.54% per annum, in 72 consecutive monthly payments of $37,511 over the six year period beginning on August 6, 2011, with the final payment due on July 6, 2017. In the event our debt service coverage ratio (net profit plus taxes, interest, depreciation, amortization and rent expense divided by debt service plus interest and lease/rent expense) falls to or below 2.0 to 1, interest on the term loan will increase by 1.01% per annum. At September 30, 2013, our debt service coverage ratio was approximately 5.7 to 1.
The Credit Agreement contains various covenants, including financial covenants requiring a minimum debt coverage ratio of 1.75 to 1.00, tested on a rolling four-quarter basis, and a maximum debt to capitalization ratio (funded debt divided by the sum of total net worth and funded debt) of 0.75 to 1, tested quarterly. At September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with these covenants.
Under the renewed revolving line of credit, we may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $6 million and (ii) a borrowing base equal to 80% of eligible accounts receivable plus 50% of eligible inventory. Interest on the revolving line of credit is payable at the 30 day LIBOR rate plus 1.74% per annum (unless our debt service coverage ratio falls to or below 2.0 to 1, in which case the additional percentage will be 2.75% per annum). In no event will the interest rate be less than 2.0% per annum. Outstanding amounts under the revolving line of credit are payable on demand. If no demand is made, we may repay and reborrow funds from time to time. Interest payments are made in monthly installments on outstanding average balances with all outstanding principal and interest payable on July 6, 2014. At September 30, 2013, we had $300,000 of borrowings under our revolving line of credit.
Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by our accounts receivable and inventory, as well as real property and equipment at Kinpak’s Montgomery, Alabama facility.
In addition to the revolving line of credit and term loan, we have obtained financing through capital leases for both manufacturing and office equipment, totaling approximately $23,600 and $37,600 at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
Our sales in the Canadian market are subject to currency fluctuations relating to the Canadian dollar. We do not engage in currency hedging and address currency risk as a pricing issue. In the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded approximately $3,000 in foreign currency translation adjustments (decreasing shareholders equity by $3,000).
During the past few years, we have introduced a number of new products. At times, new product introductions have required us to increase our overall inventory and have resulted in lower inventory turnover rates. The effects of reduced inventory turnover have not been material to our overall operations. We believe that all required capital to maintain such increases will continue to be provided by operations and our current financing arrangements.
Many of the raw materials that we use in the manufacturing process are petroleum or chemical based and commodity chemicals that are subject to fluctuating prices. The nature of our business does not enable us to pass through the price increases to our national retailers and distributors, as promptly as we experience increases in raw material costs. This may, at times, adversely affect our margins.
At September 30, 2013 and through the date of this report, we did not and do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures.
We believe that funds provided through operations and our existing sources of financing will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements over at least the next twelve months.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") at the end of the period covered by this report.

Change in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting:
No change in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
In addition to the information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I -Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which could materially affect the Company’s business, financial condition or future results.
