1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Thomasville Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) and subsidiary have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month and the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. Significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of foreclosed real estate, contingent assets and liabilities and deferred tax assets.

 

2. TRUST AND MONEY MANAGEMENT

Property and funds held by the Company and its subsidiary in a fiduciary or other capacity for the benefit of its customers are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements since such items are not assets of the Company. Income earned from fees charged against trust assets, including money management services, is recognized in the Company’s consolidated income statements.

3. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding and potential common shares. Potential common shares consist of stock options and restricted stock.

Presented below is a summary of the components used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share:

4. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company has three stock option plans under which it has granted options to its employees to purchase common stock at the fair market price on the date of grant. The plans provide for “incentive stock options” and “non-qualified stock options”. The incentive stock options are intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code for favorable tax treatment. It is the Company’s policy to issue new shares for stock option exercises.

Under the plans, the Board of Directors can grant stock options to employees of the Company to purchase up to 139,200 shares of its common stock. At September 30, 2007, there were no shares available for grant under the plans.

4. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS (Continued)

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for its stock option plans under the recognition and measurement provision of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees , and related Interpretations, as permitted by FASB No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation . Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted FASB No. 123R, Share-Based Payment , utilizing the “modified prospective” method as described in FASB No. 123R. In the “modified prospective” method, compensation cost is recognized for all stock-based payments granted after the effective date and for all unvested awards granted prior to the effective date. In accordance with FASB No. 123R, prior period amounts were not restated. FASB No. 123R also requires the tax benefits associated with these stock-based payments to be classified as financing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, rather than as operating cash flows as required under previous regulations.

At September 30, 2007, there was approximately $669,812 of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock-based payments, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 4.17 years.

Restricted Stock

In March 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) for the Company’s and Bank’s directors and officers which grants to each person restricted shares of the Company’s common stock for attending Board/Committee meetings and bonuses. Shares of restricted stock granted pursuant to the Plan shall not vest until the earlier to occur of: (a) the retirement of a director from the Company’s Board of Directors or (b) a change in control of the Company. On several occasions, shares of restricted stock have been awarded to executive officers of the Company and its subsidiary. These shares vest only upon the directors’ or officers’ retirement, resignation or upon a change in control. At September 30, 2007, 104,425 shares of restricted stock were outstanding.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.

This Analysis should be read in conjunction with the 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and the consolidated financial statements & related notes included in this quarterly filing. The Company’s accounting policies, which are described in detail in Form 10-KSB, are integral to understanding the results reported. The Company’s accounting policies require management’s judgment in valuing assets, liabilities, commitments and contingencies. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset, or relieving a liability. This Analysis contains forward-looking statements with respect to business and financial matters. Actual results may vary significantly from those contained in these forward-looking statements. See the section entitled Forward-Looking Statements within this Analysis.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Thomasville Bancshares, Inc., a Georgia corporation, was formed in March 1995 to organize and act as the holding company for Thomasville National Bank (the “Bank”), a national banking association. The Bank opened for business in October 1995, and presently operates two branches in Thomasville, Georgia. The Bank is a full service commercial bank, with trust powers, and offers a full range of banking services to individual and corporate customers in its primary market area of Thomas County, Georgia and surrounding counties. The Bank also offers trust and investment services through TNB Financial Services, a division of the Bank.

The Company’s results of operations are largely dependent on net interest income, which is the difference between the interest earned on loans and securities and interest paid on deposits and borrowings. The results of operations are also affected by the level of income/fees from loans, deposits, borrowings, trust services, as well as operating expenses, the provision for loan losses, the impact of federal and state income taxes, and the relative levels of interest rates and economic activity.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Consolidated assets totaled $351,888,452 at September 30, 2007, up $52,628,304 or 17.59% from year-end 2006. Asset growth was concentrated in the loan portfolio, available for sale securities and federal funds sold. Specifically, loans grew $33,344,697 and available for sale securities, $3,657,068; and federal funds sold increased $22,804,629. Loans comprised approximately 82.36%, investment securities, 5.10%, and federal funds sold, 12.06%, of earning assets at September 30, 2007 versus 86.93%, 4.88%, and 6.40% respectively at December 31, 2006. Overall, earning assets continued to approximate 95.21% of total assets at September 30, 2007. Refer to the Liquidity section of this Analysis for details on deposits and other funding sources.

Available for sale Investment Securities

On a carrying value basis, investment securities increased $3,657,068 or 27.26% since December 31, 2006. At September 30, 2007, the security portfolio was comprised of primarily U.S. Government sponsored agency securities. Overall, securities comprised 5.10% of earning assets at September 30, 2007, up 22 basis points from year-end 2006 levels. Management believes the credit quality of the investment portfolio remains sound.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities are delineated in the table below:

The Company has a concentration in the obligations of U.S. Government sponsored agencies.

Loans

Loans grew 13.75% or $33,344,697 at September 30, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006. The loan to deposit ratio aggregated 89.3% at September 30, 2007 versus 93.0% at December 31, 2006, and 99.8% a year ago. Despite economic uncertainties within the Company’s markets, management is optimistic that loan volumes will continue to grow in 2007. Managerial strategies to increase loan production include continuing competitive pricing on loan products and development of additional loan relationships, all without compromising portfolio quality. During the same period in 2006, net loans increased $9,598,171. Loans outstanding are presented by type in the table below.

Although the Company’s loan portfolio is diversified, significant portions of its loans are collateralized by real estate. The Bank’s real estate loans consist of residential first and second mortgage loans, residential construction loans and commercial real estate loans. At September 30, 2007, real estate loans approximated $200,908,000, and commitments to extend credit on such loans approximated $21,601,000. These loans are made consistent with the Bank’s appraisal policy and real estate lending policy which detail maximum loan-to-value ratios and maturities. In management’s opinion, these loan-to-value ratios are sufficient to compensate for fluctuations in the real estate market to minimize the risk of loss to the Bank. On an aggregate basis, commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit approximated $41,824,000 at September 30, 2007; because a substantial amount of these contracts expire without being drawn upon, total contractual amounts do not represent future credit exposure or liquidity requirements. The Company has not funded or incurred any losses on letters of credit during 2007.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans, restructured loans, foreclosed real estate and other assets. Nonperforming assets increased by $1,872,000, or 643.03%, from December 31, 2006, and 300% from September 30, 2006. Total nonperforming assets were $2,163,000 at September 30, 2007, which consisted of: $42,000 in nonaccrual loans secured by real estate; $66,000 in consumer loans; and $2,044,000 in restructured loans. Included in restructured loans is a $1,950,000 loan secured by real estate that was restructured during the third quarter of 2007. This loan was restructured to accommodate a slight reduction in the value of the collateral, and the loan is currently performing. In the opinion of management, the loan is well-collateralized and the guarantor of the principal has adequate financial means to repay the loan should the guaranty be called upon.

As a percent of total assets, nonperforming assets totaled 0.61% at September 30, 2007 versus 0.10% at year-end 2006 and 0.20% a year ago. No material credits have been transferred or removed from nonaccrual status during 2007. Refer to the subsection entitled Policy Note for criteria used by management in classifying loans as nonaccrual. The allowance for loan losses approximated 1.61 times the nonperforming loans balance at September 30, 2007 versus 11.56 at year-end 2006 and 13.54 times a year ago. Management is unaware of any other material developments in nonperforming assets at September 30, 2007 that should be presented or otherwise discussed.

Policy Note. Loans classified as nonaccrual have been placed in nonperforming, or impaired, status because the borrower’s ability to make future principal and/or interest payments has become uncertain. The Company considers a loan to be nonaccrual when the collection of recorded interest or principal is not anticipated in the foreseeable future. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Nonaccrual loans that are impaired are reduced to the lower of the principal balance of the loan or the market value of the underlying real estate or other collateral net of selling costs. Any impairment in the principal balance is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Accrued interest on any loan placed on nonaccrual status is reversed. Interest income on nonaccrual loans, if subsequently recognized, is recorded on a cash basis. No interest is subsequently recognized on nonaccrual (or former nonaccrual) loans until all principal contractually due has been collected. Foreclosed real estate represents real property acquired by foreclosure or directly by title or deed transfer in settlement of debt. Provisions for subsequent devaluations of foreclosed real estate are charged to operations, while costs associated with improving the properties are generally capitalized.

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The Company continuously reviews its loan portfolio and maintains an allowance for loan losses available to absorb losses inherent in the portfolio. The nine-month provision for loan losses at September 30, 2007 totaled $190,000 and net charge-offs, $98,000. The comparable provision and net charge-offs amounts at September 30, 2006 were $315,000 and $36,000. Net charge-offs represented 0.038% of average loans at September 30, 2007, while at September 30, 2006 net charge-offs represented 0.016% of average loans. The Company is committed to the early recognition of problem loans and to an appropriate and adequate level of allowance. The adequacy of the allowance is further discussed in the next subsection of this Analysis. Activity in the allowance is presented in the table below:

Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)

 

The Company prepares a comprehensive analysis of the allowance for loan losses at least quarterly. The allowance calculation is also reviewed annually by an independent accounting firm. The Bank’s Board of Directors is responsible for affirming the allowance methodology and assessing the general and specific allowance factors in relation to estimated and actual net charge-off trends. The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as doubtful, substandard or special mention. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows, or collateral value or observable market price of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.

Deposits

Deposits grew $48,274,948 or 18.52% since year-end 2006. Noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $2,691,324 or 8.42%, while interest-bearing deposits increased $50,966,272 or 22.28%. The increase in interest-bearing deposits was reflected in one category, interest-bearing demand. The interest-bearing demand increase was due to an increase in the balances held in NOW accounts by TNB Financial Services clients. While the time deposits are continuously growing, the growth is not through the reliance on brokered time deposits. The decline in brokered deposits has been offset by demand in the local market. The reliance on these volatile brokered deposits has declined approximately $5,075,000 or 26.57% since year end. Overall, interest-bearing deposits comprised 90.52%, and noninterest-bearing deposits, 9.48%, of total deposits at September 30, 2007. The distribution of interest-bearing balances at September 30, 2007 and certain comparable quarter-end dates is shown in the table below:

Deposits (Continued)

 

The Company had $14,025,000 in brokered deposits at September 30, 2007 compared to $19,100,000 at year-end and a year ago.

Approximately 67.09% of time certificates at September 30, 2007 were scheduled to mature within the next twelve months. The composition of average deposits and the fluctuations therein at September 30, for the last two periods is shown in the Average Balances table included in the Operations section of this Analysis.

FHLB Advances

Advances outstanding with the FHLB totaled approximately $7,880,000 at September 30, 2007, up approximately $538,000 from year-end. All advances accrue interest at an effective rate that ranges between 3.81% and 5.69% as of September 30, 2007. Interest is payable monthly or quarterly on all outstanding advances. The year to date interest expense on the advances approximates $265,000 as of September 30, 2007. The advances are collateralized by the pledging of qualifying 1-4 family mortgages included in the loan portfolio as of September 30, 2007.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity is the Company’s ability to meet all deposit withdrawals immediately, while also providing for the credit needs of customers. The September 30, 2007 financial statements evidence a satisfactory liquidity position as total cash and cash equivalents amounted to $45.8 million, representing 13.01% of total assets. Investment securities, which amounted to $18.0 million, or 5.22% of total assets, provide a secondary source of liquidity because they can be converted into cash in a timely manner. The Company’s management closely monitors and maintains appropriate levels of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities so that maturities of assets are such that adequate funds are provided to meet customer withdrawals and loan demand. The Company is not aware of any trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in or are reasonably likely to result in the Company’s liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way.

Dividend Policy

The Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from its subsidiary, and its revenues and liquidity position depend primarily on the payment of dividends from its subsidiary. Banking regulations limit the amount of dividends the Bank may pay without prior approval of the regulatory agencies. Year-to-date, Thomasville National Bank has paid $1,184,828 of the $8,319,000 in cash dividends available to the Company in 2007 without such prior approval. The Company uses regular dividends paid by the Bank in order to pay annual dividends to its own shareholders. Management anticipates that the Company will continue to pay cash dividends on a recurring basis.

Impact of Inflation

The effects of inflation on the local economy and the Company’s operating results have been relatively modest the last several years. Because substantially all the Company’s assets and liabilities, including cash, securities, loans, and deposits, are monetary in nature, their values are less sensitive to the effects of inflation than to changing interest rates. As discussed in the preceding section, the Company attempts to control the impact of interest rate fluctuations by managing the relationship between its interest sensitive assets and liabilities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the 3 months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006:

Net income for the 2007 third quarter totaled $1,081,374, down $34,522 or 3.09% from September 30, 2006 and 2.15% since June 30, 2007. On a per share basis, quarterly basic earnings per share declined $0.01 to $0.37 at September 30, 2007 from $0.38 in 2006. Variations in operating results are further discussed within the next three subsections of this Analysis.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income of $2,739,423 was a $78,645 or 2.96% increase from the $2,660,778 for the comparable period in 2006. Interest earnings on loans and investment securities improved $591,340 or 12.45% and $40,537 or 27.48% from same period results in 2006 while earnings on federal funds sold decreased by $1,753. The targeted federal funds rate remained unchanged by the Federal Reserve for most of the third quarter of 2007. The target rate was cut by 50 basis points on September 18, 2007 to 4.75% from 5.25%.

Provision for Loan Losses

A provision of $60,000 was recorded in the third quarter 2007 compared to $105,000 during the year earlier period. Nonperforming loans increased $1,988,000 during the quarter to $2,152,000 at September 30, 2007. The ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans increased 73 basis points to 0.78% at September 30, 2007, compared with 0.06% at June 30, 2007. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was approximately at 1.25% for the quarter ending September 30, 2007 compared with 1.36% at June 30, 2007.

Noninterest Income and Expense

Noninterest income increased $6,241 or 0.63% during the third quarter 2007 compared to 2006. The nominal increase in noninterest income is mainly due to an increase in income from trust services that was offset by decreases in service charges on deposit accounts, mortgage origination fees and other income. The income from trust services increased $60,714 in the third quarter 2007 compared to 2006, which is primarily attributable to the increase in the trust accounts being serviced by TNB Financial Services. Mortgage origination fees decreased by $18,706 from the third quarter 2007 compared to 2006, which can be attributed to a decrease in the volume of mortgage activity. The largest decline in noninterest income was in the other category. The decline was largely due to approximately a $59,000 gain being recognized in the third quarter 2006 for the sale of other real estate and other assets.

Noninterest Income and Expense (Continued)

Noninterest expense increased $89,834 or 4.78% during the third quarter 2007 compared to 2006. Salaries and benefits accounted for the majority of the change by increasing $79,500 or 7.82%. The increase is contributed to higher overall employee costs in 2007 compared to the 2006 costs. Occupancy expense also increased in the third quarter by $18,000 as compared to the third quarter 2006. The increase in this expense is related to the branch addition completed in 2006 which increased all of the occupancy related expenses, but the largest increase was in the real estate taxes. The increase in personnel and occupancy expenses was offset slightly by a decline in data processing expenses of approximately $31,000. This decrease was mainly noted in the actual costs of data processing and not in the related expenses such as outside programmers and ATMs. The remaining components of noninterest expense were fairly consistent with the expenses recorded during the third quarter 2006.

For the 9 months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006:

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased by $188,445 or 6.14% to $3,255,187 as compared with $3,066,742 for the year earlier period. On a per share basis, basic earnings per share grew $0.06 to $1.10 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from $1.04 for the same period in 2006. An increase in net interest income and noninterest income along with a decline in the provision expense all contributed to an increase in net earnings for the period. A slight increase in noninterest expense did offset some of this earnings growth. Variations in operating results are further discussed within the next three subsections of this Analysis.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income of $8,142,215 was an $186,814 or 2.35% increase from the $7,955,401 for the comparable nine month period in 2006. Interest income on loans and investment securities improved $1,845,038 or 13.64% and $28,804 or 6.53%, respectively, from comparable period results in 2006 while earnings on federal funds sold more than doubled with an increase of $395,465. Average earning assets increased approximately $34,332,000 or 13.26% to $293,283,000 compared with $258,951,000 for the 2006 period. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $35,925,000 or 16.17% to $258,083,000 compared with $222,158,000 during the period ending September 30, 2006. The targeted federal funds rate, which had remained unchanged since June 2006, was lowered on September 18, 2007. The Federal Reserve cut the rate by 50 basis points to 4.75% from 5.25%. Comparative details about average balances, income/expense, and average yields earned and rates paid on interest-earning assets and liabilities for the last two years are provided in the next table.

Provision for Loan Losses

A provision of $190,000 was recorded for the nine month period ending September 30, 2007 compared to $315,000 during the year earlier period. Nonperforming loans increased $1,861,000 to $2,152,000 at September 30, 2007 compared with $291,000 at December 31, 2006. The ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans increased 66 basis points to 0.78% at September 30, 2007, compared with 0.12% at December 31, 2006. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans also decreased 14 basis points to 1.25% at September 30, 2007 from 1.39% at December 31, 2006.

The intense competition for loans and deposits continues in 2007 and shows no sign of abating. The number of existing financial institutions in the Company’s market areas essentially guarantees downward pressure on net interest spreads and margins as all participants struggle to amass and grow market share. Volume of assets and deposits will become even more important as margins decline. Strategies implemented by management to increase average loans outstanding emphasize competitive pricing on loan products and development of additional loan relationships, all without compromising portfolio quality. Management’s strategy for deposits is to closely manage anticipated market increases and maintain a competitive position with respect to pricing and products.

Analysis of Changes in Net Interest Income

The average balance table above provides detailed information about average balances, income/expense, and average yields earned and rates paid on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

Noninterest Income and Expense

Noninterest income increased $266,153 or 9.66% during the first nine months of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. A $268,530 or 16.38% increase in trust and investment service income was the key factor in the increased nine-month results. An increase of $48,039 or 33.08% in mortgage origination fees and an increase of $29,824 or 21.35% in other service charges, commissions and fees also contributed to the higher noninterest income. Service charges on deposit accounts and other operating income posted minimal declines from the same period in 2006. Overall, noninterest expense increased $467,504 or 8.51% during the first nine months of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. Salaries and other personnel related costs accounted for over 50% of the increase of $284,777 or 8.51% compared to September 30, 2006. The vast majority, or 77%, of employee expenses remained concentrated in salaries and other direct compensation, including related payroll taxes at September 30, 2007. Profit-sharing accruals and other benefits, including insurance, constituted the remaining 12% and 11% of employee expenses. When compared to the prior year, net occupancy and equipment expense increased by 3.10% or $20,791 during the first nine months of 2007 compared to 2006. Data processing and advertising expenses accounted for $16,297 and $29,414 of the increase from 2006 in noninterest expense, respectively. Other operating expenses increased $82,414 or 8.58% at September 30, 2007 compared to 2006; there was not a significant increase in any one other operating expense account that was responsible for the bulk of the 2007 - 2006 fluctuation.

Forward-Looking Statements (Continued)

 

Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates contained in or underlying forward-looking statements include:

 

   

Competitive pressures between depository and other financial institutions may increase significantly.

 

   

Changes in the interest rate environment may reduce margins and impact funding sources.

 

   

General economic or business conditions in the geographic regions and industry in which the Company operates may lead to deterioration in credit quality or a reduced demand for credit.

 

   

Legislative or regulatory changes, including changes in accounting standards, monetary policies, and taxation requirements, may adversely affect the Company’s business.

Other factors include:

 

   

Changes in consumer spending and saving habits as well as real estate markets.

 

   

Management of costs associated with expansion of existing and development of new distribution channels, and ability to realize increased revenues from these distribution channels.

 

   

The outcome of litigation which depends on judicial interpretations of law and findings of juries.

 

   

The effect of mergers, acquisitions, and/or dispositions and their integration into the Company.

 

   

Other risks and uncertainties as detailed from time to time in Company filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Many of the factors that will determine actual financial performance and values are beyond the Company’s ability to predict or control. This Analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes.

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Management has developed and implemented a policy and procedures for reviewing disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting on a quarterly basis. Management, including the Chief Executive Officer (who is both the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officer), evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2007 and, based on their evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer concluded that these controls and procedures are operating effectively. Disclosure controls and procedures are the Company’s controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
