NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of Presentation
The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S.) for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
In the opinion of management, the Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements on the same basis as its audited financial statements, and these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year 2011.
During the first quarter of 2011, the Company recorded adjustments to the purchase price allocation of its acquisition of Chordiant. As required by applicable business combination accounting rules, these adjustments were applied retrospectively. Therefore, other current assets, long-term other assets, goodwill, accrued expenses, and deferred tax assets have been revised as of December 31, 2010 to reflect these adjustments. These revisions did not have any impact on the Companys previously reported results of operations or cash flows. See Note 5 Acquisition, Goodwill, and Other Intangible Assets for further discussion of these adjustments.

All of the Companys investments are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. As of March 31, 2011, remaining maturities of marketable debt securities ranged from May 2011 to January 2014, with a weighted-average remaining maturity of approximately 18 months. No available-for-sale securities were sold during the first quarter of 2011. Proceeds from available-for-sale securities sold during the first quarter of 2010 were $160.4 million with gross realized gains of approximately $0.3 million and gross realized losses of approximately $0.1 million. Specific identification of the individual securities was used to determine the basis on which the gain or loss was calculated.

5. | ACQUISITION, GOODWILL, AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS |
Chordiant Acquisition
On April 21, 2010, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Chordiant, a leading provider of customer relationship management (CRM) software and services with a focus on improving customer experiences through decision technology. The aggregate purchase price for Chordiant was approximately $160.3 million, consisting of $156.8 million in cash and the issuance of stock options with a fair value of $3.5 million. The Company issued approximately 241,000 stock options as replacement of outstanding Chordiant stock options at the acquisition date. The majority of the fair value of these stock options was recorded as purchase price based on the portion of the awards related to pre-combination services. The compensation expense associated with the portion of the replacement awards related to post-combination services totaled $0.2 million was recognized as compensation expense over the remaining service period. The Company expensed all transaction costs, which are included in acquisition-related costs in the accompanying condensed consolidated income statements.
The operations of Chordiant were included in the Companys operating results from the date of acquisition. Due to the rapid integration of the products, sales force, and operations of Chordiant, it is no longer feasible for the Company to identify revenue from new arrangements attributable to Chordiant.
As of March 31, 2011, the Company recorded adjustments to the purchase price allocation to reflect the Companys final determination of other accrued liabilities, acquired tax assets and uncertain tax liabilities. As a result of this determination, the Company recorded a $1.8 million decrease to other accrued liabilities, a $0.4 million increase to net deferred tax assets, and a corresponding $2.2 million decrease to goodwill. See Note 9 Commitment and Contingencies for further discussion. These purchase price adjustments are also reflected retrospectively as of December 31, 2010 in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as required by the business combination accounting rules.
As of March 31, 2011, as a result of the purchase price allocation, the Company recorded approximately $18.1 million of goodwill, which was primarily due to the expected synergies of the combined entities and the workforce in place. The goodwill created by the transaction was nondeductible for tax purposes. A summary of the purchase price allocation for the acquisition of Chordiant is as follows:

$ | 160,351 | ||||||||
The valuation of the assumed deferred maintenance revenue was based on the Companys contractual commitment to provide post-contract customer support to Chordiant customers. The fair value of this assumed liability was based on the estimated cost plus a reasonable margin to fulfill these service obligations. The majority of the deferred revenue is expected to be recognized in the 12 months following the acquisition.
The valuation of the acquired intangible assets is inherently subjective and relies on significant unobservable inputs. The Company used an income approach to value the acquired customer related intangible assets, technology and trade name. The valuation for each of these intangible assets was based on estimated projections of expected cash flows to be generated by the assets, discounted to the present value at discount rates commensurate with perceived risk. The valuation assumptions take into consideration the Companys estimates of contract renewal, technology attrition and revenue growth projections.
The acquired intangibles are being amortized over a weighted-average period of 8.4 years on a straight-line basis. The values for specifically identifiable intangible assets, by major asset class, are as follows:

Pro forma Information
The following pro forma financial information presents the combined results of operations of the Company and Chordiant as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2009 after giving effect to certain pro forma adjustments. The pro forma adjustments reflected herein include only those adjustments that are directly attributable to the Chordiant acquisition, factually determinable, and expected to have a continuing impact on the Company. These pro forma adjustments include a reduction of historical Chordiant revenue for fair value adjustments related to acquired deferred revenue and elimination of deferred costs associated with revenue, a net increase in amortization expense to eliminate historical amortization of Chordiant intangible assets and to record amortization expense for the $88 million of acquired identifiable intangibles. The pro forma financial information does not reflect any adjustments for anticipated synergies resulting from the acquisition and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have actually occurred had the transaction been consummated as of January 1, 2009.

Goodwill and Intangibles
The Company operates in one operating segment, business process solutions, for which discrete financial information is available and its performance is evaluated regularly by the Companys CEO, who is the Companys chief operating decision maker, or CODM. The Company has one reporting unit, the fair value of which is evaluated annually to determine whether goodwill is impaired.
The purchase price adjustments related to the Chordiant acquisition identified during the first quarter of 2011 were retrospectively applied as of December 31, 2010. There were no other changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the first quarter of 2011.

8. | ACCRUED RESTRUCTURING COSTS |
During 2010, in connection with the Companys integration plan of Chordiant, the Company recorded $6.5 million of severance and related benefit costs for the reduction of approximately 50 personnel in redundant roles. These personnel were primarily in general and administrative functions and their employment ended by the third quarter of 2010. The severance and related benefit costs will be paid by the end of the second quarter of 2012.
In connection with the Companys evaluation of its combined facilities, the Company approved a plan to eliminate space within one facility. The Company ceased use of this space during the fourth quarter of 2010 and recognized $1.6 million of restructuring expenses, representing future lease payments and demising costs, net of estimated sublease income for this space. The lease payments will be completed by the end of 2013. During the first quarter of 2011, the Company incurred an additional $0.1 million of exit costs related to the elimination of this space.
A summary of the restructuring activity during the first quarter of 2011 is as follows:

Yue vs. Chordiant Software, Inc.
On January 2, 2008, Chordiant and certain of its officers and one other employee were named in a complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California (the Court) by Dongxiao Yue under the caption Dongxiao Yue (Plaintiff) v. Chordiant Software, Inc. et al. Case No. CV 08-0019 (N.D. Cal.). The complaint alleged that Chordiants Marketing Director (CMD) software product infringed copyrights in certain software marketed by Netbula LLC. On May 14, 2010, a jury awarded the Plaintiff approximately $1.4 million, which the Company deposited with the Court in November 2010. This judgment was approved by the Court on August 3, 2010, following the conclusion of various post-trial motions filed by the parties.
12
On August 17, 2010, the Plaintiff filed an additional complaint with the Court against a number of Chordiant customers and partners, alleging that their use of CMD infringed the same copyrights at issue in the complaint filed against Chordiant. In accordance with the terms of Chordiants contracts with these customers and partners, the Company agreed to indemnify and defend these customers and partners in this matter. On November 1, 2010, the Company filed motions with the Court seeking to dismiss the claims in this complaint.
On April 8, 2011, the Company and the Plaintiff agreed to a settlement and mutual release of all claims against Chordiant and its customers and partners that existed at the date of acquisition. The Company recorded its best estimate, and subsequent settlement, of this assumed liability as part of the purchase price allocation. In April 2011, the Company paid the settlement amount.
The Company is a party in various other contractual disputes, litigation and potential claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe that the resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations.

During the first quarter of 2011, the Company issued approximately 107,000 shares to its employees under the Companys share-based compensation plans.
During the first quarter of 2011, the Company granted approximately 52,000 restricted stock units (RSUs) in connection with the election by employees to receive 50% of their 2011 target incentive compensation under the Companys Corporate Incentive Compensation Plan (the CICP) in the form of RSUs instead of cash. The total stock-based compensation of approximately $1.6 million associated with this RSU grant will be recognized over one year.
As of March 31, 2011, the Company had approximately $11.1 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to all unvested RSUs and unvested stock options that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.

Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the dilutive effect of outstanding options, RSUs, and warrants, using the treasury stock method and the average market price of our common stock during the applicable period. Certain shares related to some of our outstanding stock options and RSUs were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were antidilutive in the periods presented, but could be dilutive in the future.

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the CODM in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
The Company develops and licenses its rules-based software solutions and provides professional services, maintenance, and training related to its software. The Company derives substantially all of its revenue from the sale and support of one group of similar products and services software that provides business process solutions in the enterprise applications market. To assess performance, the Companys CODM primarily reviews financial information on a consolidated basis. Therefore, the Company has determined it operates in one segment business process solutions.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains or incorporates forward-looking statements within the meaning of section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about the industry and markets in which we operate and managements beliefs and assumptions. In addition, other written or oral statements that constitute forward-looking statements may be made by us or on our behalf. Words such as expect, anticipate, intend, plan, believe, could, estimate, may, target, project, or variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict.
We encourage you to carefully review the risk factors we have identified in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. We believe these risk factors, among other factors, could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements we make. We do not intend to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Business overview
We develop, market, license, and support software to automate complex, changing business processes. Our software enables organizations to build, deploy, and change enterprise applications easily and quickly by directly capturing business objectives, automating programming, and automating work. Our software is used to build a wide range of business process solutions including customer on-boarding and account opening, CRM, exception and case management, and risk/fraud and compliance management. We also provide professional services, maintenance, and training related to our software.
We focus our sales efforts on target accounts, which are large companies or divisions within companies, and typically leaders in their industry. Our strategy is to sell initial licenses that are focused on a specific purpose or area of operations, rather than selling large enterprise licenses. This strategy allows our customers to quickly realize business value from our software and limits their initial investment. Once a customer has realized this initial value, we work with the customer to identify opportunities for follow-on sales.
Our license revenue is primarily derived from sales of our PegaRULES Proces Commander (PRPC) software and related solution frameworks. PRPC is a comprehensive platform for building and managing BPM applications that unifies business rules and business processes. Our solution frameworks are built on the capabilities of PRPC and are purpose or industry-specific collections of best practice functionality to allow organizations to quickly implement new customer-facing practices and processes, bring new offerings to market, and provide customized or specialized processing. These products often result in shorter implementation periods than competitive enterprise software products. PRPC and related solution frameworks can be used by a broad range of customers within financial services, insurance and healthcare markets, as well as other markets, such as life sciences and government.
15
As a result of our acquisition of Chordiant in April 2010, we expanded our ability to develop and license CRM software. We acquired several additional products including Chordiant Decision Management that enable customers to maximize customer lifetime value through a suite of industry-leading technologies. We intend to remain a leader in the use of decision management to improve customer experiences, provide better cross-sell/up-sell abilities, and aid customer retention by leveraging our flexible, Build for Change ® configuration capabilities.
We also offer Pega Cloud, which is our cloud computing service offering that allows customers to create and run PRPC applications using an internet-based infrastructure. This offering enables our customers to immediately build, test, and deploy their applications in a secure cloud environment while minimizing their infrastructure and hardware costs. Revenue from our Pega Cloud offering is included in consulting services revenue.
Our revenue increased 36% in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010 primarily because of the increase in maintenance revenues and professional services revenues. Maintenance revenue increased 82% due to $7.5 million of maintenance revenue related to license arrangements executed by Chordiant prior to the acquisition, and the increase in the aggregate value of the installed base of our software. Due to the rapid integration of the products, sales force, and operations of Chordiant, it is no longer feasible to separately identify revenue from new arrangements as being attributable to either Chordiant or Pegasystems. We used approximately $8.1 million in cash from operations in the first quarter of 2011 and ended the quarter with approximately $76.8 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities.
We believe our growth in the first quarter of 2011 was primarily due to:
| Increased demand for our industry leading software solutions and services in Europe; |
| Expansion of our solutions frameworks offerings; and |
| Disciplined and focused strategy of selling to targeted customers. |
We believe that the ongoing challenges for our business include our ability to drive revenue growth, expand our expertise in new and existing industries, remain a leader in the decision management market, and maintain our leadership position in the BPM market.
Critical accounting policies
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon the condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, knowledge of current conditions, and beliefs of what could occur in the future given available information.
There have been no changes in our critical accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. For more information regarding our critical accounting policies, we encourage you to read the discussion contained in Item 7 under the heading Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates and Note 2.

We continue to experience an increase in demand for our software products and related services, which we believe is due to the strong value proposition, short implementation period, and variety of licensing models we offer our customers.
The increase in gross profit was primarily due to the increase in maintenance revenue. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to our continued expansion of our sales force and our research and development operations and the incremental expenses associated with Chordiant operations. The decrease in income from operations was primarily due to the higher growth rate in operating expenses compared to the growth rate in gross profit. The increase in income before provision for income taxes was primarily due to the $1 million foreign currency transaction gain recorded in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the $3.1 million foreign currency transaction loss recorded in the first quarter of 2010.

The aggregate value of license arrangements executed during the first quarter of 2011 was almost double the value of arrangements executed in the first quarter of 2010 as there was a significant increase in the value of license arrangements executed in Europe and a significant increase in the value of license arrangements executed with new customers. The increase in the aggregate value of license arrangements executed during the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010 is not necessarily indicative of the activity level for future periods.
The increase in perpetual license revenue was due to an increase in the value of new perpetual license arrangements executed in the first quarter of 2011. Many of our perpetual license arrangements include extended payment terms and/or additional rights of use that delay the recognition of revenue to future periods. The aggregate value of payments due under these perpetual and certain subscription licenses was $31.2 million as of March 31, 2011 compared to $51.6 million as of March 31, 2010. See the table of future cash receipts by year from these perpetual licenses and certain subscription licenses on page 22.
We recognize revenue for our term license arrangements over the term of the agreement as payments become due or earlier if prepaid. The decrease in term license revenue was primarily due to a significant prepayment of a term license by a customer during the first quarter of 2010. While term license revenue decreased during the first quarter of 2011, the aggregate value of new term license arrangements executed during the first quarter of 2011 was significantly higher than during the first quarter of 2010. As a result of this increase and the significant increase in new term license arrangements executed in the fourth quarter of 2010, the aggregate value of payments due under these term licenses grew to $85.8 million as of March 31, 2011 compared to $68 million as of March 31, 2010. The aggregate value of future payments due under non-cancellable term licenses as of March 31, 2011 includes $19.1 million of term license payments that we expect to recognize as revenue during the remainder of 2011. Our term license revenue for the remainder of 2011 could be higher than $19.1 million as we complete new term license agreements in 2011 or if we receive prepayments from existing term license agreements. See the table of future cash receipts by year from these term licenses on page 22.
17
A change in the mix between perpetual and term license arrangements executed, which varies based on customer needs, can cause our revenues to vary materially quarter to quarter.
Subscription revenue consists of revenue recognized on our perpetual license arrangements that include a right to unspecified future products, which is recognized ratably over the term of these arrangements. Subscription revenue does not include revenue from our Pega Cloud offering. The decrease in subscription revenue was primarily due to the timing of scheduled payments under a customer arrangement, which limits the amount of revenue that can be recognized in a reporting period. Consequently, our subscription revenue can vary quarter to quarter.

The increase in consulting services revenue was primarily due to higher demand for these services in Europe where there was a significant increase in license arrangements executed in the second half of 2010 as well as in the first quarter of 2011.
Our strategy is to continue expanding our partner alliances to support and grow our business. We significantly discount training fees to our partners to encourage them to become implementation experts of our software. During the first quarter of 2011, while the number of training classes increased compared to the first quarter of 2010, training revenue decreased primarily due to an increase in training classes provided to our partners.

We significantly increased sales hiring in the first half of 2010 in order to target new accounts across expanded geographies and to create additional sales capacity for future periods. The increase in selling and marketing expenses was primarily due to a $5.9 million increase in compensation and benefit expenses associated with higher headcount, a $2.1 million increase in commissions expense associated with higher new license arrangements, a $1.2 million increase in amortization expense related to the acquired Chordiant customer related intangibles, a $0.8 million increase in travel expenses, and a $1 million increase in sales and marketing program expenses.

General and administrative expenses include compensation, benefits, and other headcount-related expenses associated with the finance, legal, corporate governance, and other administrative headcount. It also includes accounting, legal, and other administrative fees. The general and administrative headcount includes employees in human resources, information technology and corporate services departments whose costs are allocated to the rest of the Companys functional departments.
The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a $0.4 million increase in compensation and benefits associated with higher headcount, a $0.9 million increase in accounting and legal fees primarily related to the Chordiant acquisition, and a $0.3 million increase in contractor expenses.
Acquisition-related costs
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred and include costs to effect an impending or completed acquisition and direct and incremental costs associated with an acquisition. During the first quarter of 2011, the $0.3 million acquisition-related costs were primarily legal fees associated with acquired litigation related to Chordiant. The $1.5 million acquisition-related costs incurred during the first quarter of 2010 were primarily legal and advisory fees, finders fees and due diligence costs associated with our acquisition of Chordiant.
Restructuring costs
Restructuring costs were exit costs related to the Companys elimination of space within a redundant facility during the fourth quarter of 2010.

We hold foreign currency denominated accounts receivable in our U.S. operating company where the functional currency is the U.S. dollar. As a result, these receivables are subject to foreign currency transaction gains and losses when there are changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies. Foreign currency transaction gains in the first quarter of 2011 compared to losses in the first quarter of 2010 were due to the significant increase in the value of the British pound and Euro relative to the U.S. dollar during the first quarter of 2011.
The decrease in interest income was due to our sale of our marketable securities at the end of the first quarter of 2010 to pay for the Chordiant acquisition.

Provision for income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes at each interim period using its estimated annual effective tax rate. The provision for income taxes represents current and future amounts owed for federal, state, and foreign taxes. During the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, we recorded provisions of $2 million and $2.4 million, respectively, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 29.3% and 38.8%, respectively.
Our effective tax rate during the first quarter of 2010 reflected the recording of a discrete item related to the nondeductible portion of acquisition-related costs incurred in the first quarter of 2010 associated with the Chordiant acquisition. These nondeductible acquisition-related costs accounted for 5.5% of our first quarter 2010 tax rate.

In March 2010, we liquidated our marketable securities to pay for the Chordiant acquisition. In April 2010, we acquired Chordiant for a cash purchase price of approximately $109.2 million, net of approximately $47.6 million of cash acquired.
We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents, and cash flow from operations in 2011 will be sufficient to fund our operations and our share repurchase program for at least the next 12 months. We also evaluate acquisition opportunities from time to time, which if pursued, could require use of our funds. Approximately $26.8 million of our cash and cash equivalents is held in our foreign subsidiaries. If it became necessary to repatriate these funds, we may be required to pay U.S. tax, net of any applicable foreign tax credits, upon repatriation. There can be no assurance that changes in our plans or other event affecting our operations will not result in materially accelerated or unexpected expenditures.
Cash (used in) provided by operating activities
The primary components of cash used in operating activities during the first quarter of 2011 were a $28.4 million increase in accounts receivable related to the timing of billings and the increase in revenue, a $7 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses primarily related to the payment of incentive compensation, partially offset by a $17.2 million increase in deferred revenue and a $0.9 million increase in net income.

Cash (used in) provided by investing activities
During the first quarter of 2011, cash used in investing activities was primarily for purchases of marketable debt securities of $9 million, partially offset by the proceeds received from maturing marketable debt securities of $4.7 million.
During the first quarter of 2010, cash provided by investing activities was from the sale of our marketable securities in preparation to pay for the Chordiant acquisition.
Cash used in financing activities
Cash used in financing activities during the first quarter of 2011 and 2010 was primarily for repurchases of our common stock and the payment of our quarterly dividend. Since 2004, our Board of Directors has approved annual stock repurchase programs that have authorized the repurchase in the aggregate of up to $80.8 million of our common stock. Purchases under these programs have been made on the open market.

In addition to the share repurchases made under our repurchase programs, we net settled the majority of our employee stock option exercises and RSU vesting, which resulted in the withholding of shares to cover the option exercise price and the minimum statutory tax withholding obligations.
During the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, option and RSU holders net settled stock options and vested RSUs representing the right to purchase a total of 135,000 shares and 382,000 shares, respectively, of which only 85,000 shares and 186,000 shares, respectively, were issued to the option and RSU holders and the balance of the shares were surrendered to us to pay for the exercise price and the applicable taxes. During the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, instead of receiving cash from the equity holders, we withheld shares with a value of $1.5 million and $3.4 million, respectively, for withholding taxes and $0.4 million and $3.8 million, respectively, for the exercise price. The value of share repurchases and shares withheld for net settlement of our employee stock option exercises and vesting of RSUs offset the proceeds received under our various share-based compensation plans during the first quarter of 2011 and 2010.
Dividends
The Company declared a cash dividend of $0.03 per share for the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, and paid cash dividends of $1.1 million in both the first quarter of 2011 and 2010. It is our current intention to pay a quarterly cash dividend of $0.03 per share to shareholders of record as of the first trading day of each quarter, however, the Board of Directors may terminate or modify this dividend program at any time without notice.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk represents the risk of loss that may affect us due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily related to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. We have not entered into derivative or hedging transactions to manage risk in connection with such fluctuations.
There were no significant changes to our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk during the first quarter of 2011. Please refer to Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for a more complete discussion of our market risk exposure.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2011. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and our management necessarily applied its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2011.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Part IIOther Information:
We encourage you to carefully consider the risk factors identified in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. These risk factors could materially affect our business, financial condition and future results and could cause our actual business and financial results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or elsewhere by management from time to time. There have been no material changes during the first quarter ended March 31, 2011 to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
