SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL REPORTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by AMREP Corporation (the “Company”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information, and do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. The Company, through its subsidiaries, is primarily engaged in two business segments: the real estate business operated by AMREP Southwest Inc. (“AMREP Southwest”) and its subsidiaries and the fulfillment services business operated by Palm Coast Data LLC (“Palm Coast”) and its affiliates. The Company’s foreign sales are insignificant. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary to reflect a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of what may occur in future periods. Unless the context otherwise indicates, all references to 2019 and 2018 are to the fiscal years ending April 30, 2019 and 2018 and all references to the second quarter and first six months of 2019 and 2018 mean the fiscal three month and six month periods ended October 31, 2018 and 2017.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2018, which was filed with the SEC on July 20, 2018 (the “2018 Form 10-K”). Certain 2018 balances in these financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation with no effect on either net income or shareholders’ equity.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies used in preparing these consolidated financial statements are consistent with the accounting policies described in the 2018 Form 10-K, except for those effective May 1, 2018 as described below.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Since that date, the FASB has issued additional ASUs providing further revenue recognition guidance (collectively, “Topic 606”). Topic 606 clarifies the principles for recognizing revenues and costs related to obtaining and fulfilling customer contracts, with the objective of improving financial reporting. The core principle of Topic 606 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Topic 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle, and more judgment and estimates are required under Topic 606 than were required under the prior generally accepted accounting principles of Topic 605, Revenue Recognition (“Topic 605”). In accordance with Topic 606, fulfillment services revenues are recognized as the services are performed in proportion to the transfer of control to the customer and real estate revenues are recognized at the time of sale when consideration has been exchanged and title has been conveyed to the buyer.

Topic 606 was effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning May 1, 2018. The Company adopted Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method. Results for reporting periods beginning after May 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with Topic 605. The adoption of Topic 606 had no impact on the Company’s results of operations.

Statements of Cash Flows

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 reduces the diversity in practice regarding how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows, including classifying proceeds from company-owned life insurance proceeds as an investing activity. ASU 2016-15 was effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning May 1, 2018. The Company received life insurance proceeds of $85,000 during the three months ended July 31, 2018, which is reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as an investing activity. The income associated with the life insurance proceeds was recognized in various years prior to 2019.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. Since that date, the FASB has issued additional ASUs providing further guidance for lease transactions (collectively “ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in its balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of twelve months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company will be required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for the Company for fiscal year 2020 beginning on May 1, 2019. The Company has not yet concluded how the new standard will impact its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which permits the reclassification to retained earnings of certain tax effects resulting from the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act related to items in accumulated other comprehensive income. ASU 2018-02 may be applied retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized or may be applied in the period of adoption. ASU 2018-02 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2020 beginning May 1, 2019. The Company has not determined whether it will elect to reclassify such tax effects. The adoption of ASU 2018-02 by the Company is not expected to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) – Improvements to Nonemployee Share-based Payment Accounting. ASU 2018-07 addresses several aspects of the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions, including share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. ASU 2018-07 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2020 beginning May 1, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2018-07 by the Company is not expected to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Lomas Encantadas Subdivision – Refer to Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the 2018 Form 10-K for detail about the loan agreement and related documentation entered into with BOKF, NA dba Bank of Albuquerque in December 2017 with respect to the development of certain planned residential lots within the Lomas Encantadas subdivision located in Rio Rancho, New Mexico.

Pursuant to such loan documentation, BOKF, NA agrees to lend up to $4,750,000 to the borrower on a non-revolving line of credit basis to partially fund the development of certain planned residential lots within the Lomas Encantadas subdivision. Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the loan is payable monthly at the annual rate equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate for a thirty-day interest period plus a spread of 3.0%, adjusted monthly. The outstanding principal amount of the loan as of October 31, 2018 was $2,009,000 and the borrower made principal repayments of $1,171,000 during the first six months of 2019. The loan is scheduled to mature in December 2021. The total book value of the property within the Lomas Encantadas subdivision mortgaged to BOKF, NA was $11,273,000 as of October 31, 2018. The Company capitalized $25,000 and $51,000 of interest related to this loan in the second quarter and first six months of 2019. At October 31, 2018, both the borrower and AMREP Southwest were in compliance with the covenants contained within the loan documentation.

Hawk Site Subdivision – In July 2018, Hawksite 27 Development Company, LLC (“HDC”), a subsidiary of AMREP Southwest, entered into a Business Loan Agreement with Main Bank. The loan under the Business Loan Agreement is evidenced by a Promissory Note and is secured by a Mortgage, between HDC and Main Bank with respect to certain planned residential lots within the Hawk Site subdivision located in Rio Rancho, New Mexico. Pursuant to a Commercial Guaranty entered into by AMREP Southwest in favor of Main Bank, AMREP Southwest has guaranteed HDC’s obligations under each of the above agreements. The Business Loan Agreement, Promissory Note, Mortgage, Commercial Guaranty and other related transaction documents are collectively referred to as the “HS Loan Documentation.”

Pursuant to the HS Loan Documentation, Main Bank agrees to lend up to $1,800,000 to HDC on a non-revolving line of credit basis to partially fund the development of certain planned residential lots within the Hawk Site subdivision. Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the loan is payable monthly at the annual rate equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus a spread of 2.38%, adjusted annually. Main Bank is required to release the lien of its mortgage on any lot upon HDC making a principal payment equal to the greater of $30,000 or 55% of the sales price of the lot. HDC is required to reduce the principal balance of the loan to a maximum of $1,700,000 in July 2020. The outstanding principal amount of the loan may be prepaid at any time without penalty. The loan is scheduled to mature in July 2021. HDC incurred customary costs and expenses and paid fees to Main Bank in connection with the loan. The outstanding principal amount of the loan as of October 31, 2018 was $42,000 and HDC made no principal repayments during the first six months of 2019. The total book value of the property within the Hawk Site subdivision mortgaged to Main Bank was $3,883,000 as of October 31, 2018. The Company capitalized $1,000 of interest related to this loan in the second quarter and first six months of 2019.

HDC and AMREP Southwest have made certain representations and warranties in the HS Loan Documentation and are required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar loans. The HS Loan Documentation contains customary events of default for similar financing transactions, including: HDC’s failure to make principal, interest or other payments when due; the failure of HDC or AMREP Southwest to observe or perform their respective covenants under the HS Loan Documentation; the representations and warranties of HDC or AMREP Southwest being false; and the insolvency or bankruptcy of HDC or AMREP Southwest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, Main Bank may declare the outstanding principal amount and all other obligations under the HS Loan Documentation immediately due and payable. At October 31, 2018, both HDC and AMREP Southwest were in compliance with the covenants contained within the HS Loan Documentation.

BENEFIT PLANS

Pension Plan

The Company has a defined benefit pension plan for which accumulated benefits were frozen and future service credits were curtailed as of March 1, 2004. Refer to Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the 2018 Form 10-K for additional detail regarding the Company’s agreements with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the “PBGC”). The agreements with the PBGC terminated by their terms in August 2018 with the PBGC being deemed to have released and discharged the Company and all other members of its controlled group from any claims under such agreements.

The Company recognizes the known changes in the funded status of the pension plan in the period in which the changes occur through other comprehensive income, net of the related deferred income tax effect. The Company recognized other comprehensive income of $157,000 and $314,000 for the second quarter and first six months of 2019 and $225,000 and $450,000 for the second quarter and first six months of 2018, related to the amortization of the plan’s unrecognized net loss included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net in the accompanying financial statements.

The Company funds the pension plan in compliance with IRS funding requirements. The Company made contributions of $2,000,000 and $640,000 to the pension plan during first six months of 2019 and 2018.

Equity Compensation Plan

Refer to Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the 2018 Form 10-K for additional detail regarding the AMREP Corporation 2016 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2016 Equity Plan”) and the AMREP Corporation 2006 Equity Compensation Plan (together with the 2016 Equity Plan, the “Equity Plans”). The Company issued 29,200 shares of restricted common stock under the 2016 Equity Plan during the first six months of 2019. During the first six months of 2019, 16,583 shares of restricted common stock previously issued under the Equity Plans vested leaving 47,367 restricted shares issued under the Equity Plans that had not vested as of October 31, 2018. For the second quarter and first six months of 2019, the Company recognized $53,000 and $81,000 of non-cash compensation expense related to the vesting of restricted shares of common stock, and $27,000 and $45,000 for the same periods of 2018. As of October 31, 2018, there was $221,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted shares of common stock issued under the Equity Plans which had not vested as of that date, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining vesting term not to exceed three years. In addition, the Company recognized $20,000 and $40,000 of expense during the second quarter and first six months of 2019 related to deferred stock units expected to be issued in December 2018 to non-employee members of the Company’s Board of Directors.

INCOME TAXES

The U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was signed into law in December 2017. The Act significantly revised the future ongoing U.S. corporate income tax by, among other things, lowering U.S. corporate income tax rates. The Act reduced the federal corporate tax rate to 21.0% effective January 1, 2018. As the Company has an April 30 fiscal year-end, the lower corporate income tax rate was phased in, resulting in the Company having a blended federal tax rate of 29.7% for 2018. Effective May 1, 2018, the Company’s federal corporate tax rate is 21.0%.

In December 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), which addresses how a company recognizes provisional amounts when a company does not have the necessary information available, prepared or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete its accounting for the effect of the changes in the Act. SAB 118 provides for a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the Act enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). As of October 31, 2018, the Company had not completed its accounting for the tax effects of the Act and expects to complete the accounting during the three month period ending January 31, 2019, which could potentially affect the measurement of deferred tax balances or potentially give rise to new deferred tax balances.

The total tax effect of gross unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements at both October 31, 2018 and April 30, 2018 was $58,000, which, if recognized, will have an impact on the effective tax rate. As a result of the lapse of the statute of limitations, this amount is expected to be recognized during the three month period ending January 31, 2019.

Item 2.

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

INTRODUCTION

AMREP Corporation (the “Company”), through its subsidiaries, is primarily engaged in two business segments: the real estate business operated by AMREP Southwest Inc. (“AMREP Southwest”) and its subsidiaries and the fulfillment services business operated by Palm Coast Data LLC (“Palm Coast”) and its affiliates. Data concerning industry segments is set forth in Note 11 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this report on Form 10-Q. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s foreign sales and activities are not significant.

The following provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in this report on Form 10-Q and with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2018, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 20, 2018 (the “2018 Form 10-K”). Many of the amounts and percentages presented in this Item 2 have been rounded for convenience of presentation. Unless the context otherwise indicates, all references to 2019 and 2018 are to the fiscal years ending April 30, 2019 and 2018 and all references to the second quarter and first six months of 2019 and 2018 mean the fiscal three month and six month periods ended October 31, 2018 and 2017.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on the accounting policies used and disclosed in the 2018 consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes that were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and included as part of the 2018 Form 10-K and in Note 1 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this report on Form 10-Q. The preparation of those consolidated financial statements required management to make estimates and assumptions that affected the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual amounts or results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

The critical accounting policies, assumptions and estimates are described in Item 7 of Part II of the 2018 Form 10-K. There have been no changes in these critical accounting policies.

The significant accounting policies of the Company are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the 2018 Form 10-K. Information concerning the Company’s implementation and the impact of recent accounting standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board is included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in the 2018 Form 10-K and in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this report on Form 10-Q. The Company did not adopt any accounting policy during the first six months of 2019 that had a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The Company adopted the following accounting policies effective May 1, 2018.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the second quarter of 2019, the Company recorded net income of $55,000, or $0.00 per share, compared to net income of $278,000, or $0.03 per share, for the second quarter of 2018. For the first six months of 2019, the Company recorded net income of $116,000, or $0.01 per share, compared to net income of $1,726,000, or $0.21 per share, for the same period of 2018. Revenues were $9,608,000 and $21,323,000 for the second quarter and first six months of 2019 compared to $9,175,000 and $20,501,000 for the same periods of the prior year.

Revenues from land sales at AMREP Southwest and its subsidiaries were $2,367,000 and $6,548,000 for the second quarter and first six months of 2019 compared to $1,416,000 and $4,093,000 for the same periods of the prior year. For the first six months of 2018, $2,044,000 of the $4,093,000 of revenues from land sales was for an approximate five acre undeveloped commercial property in Colorado, which was sold with a gross profit percentage of 65%.

For the second quarter and first six months of 2019 and 2018, the Company’s land sales in New Mexico were as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Ended October 31, 2018						Ended October 31, 2017
	Acres Sold		Revenue		Revenue Per Acre		Acres Sold		Revenue		Revenue Per Acre

Total		19.0	$	6,548	$	345		9.3	$	2,049	$	220

The average gross profit percentage on land sales in New Mexico before indirect costs was 9% and 10% for the second quarter and first six months of 2019 compared to 20% and 19% for the same periods of 2018. The profit percentage is attributable to the mix of lots sold with developed lots having a lower profit percentage compared to undeveloped lots. As a result of many factors, including the nature and timing of specific transactions and the type and location of land being sold, revenues, average selling prices and related average gross profits from land sales can vary significantly from period to period and prior results are not necessarily a good indication of what may occur in future periods.

Revenues from the Company’s fulfillment services operations were $6,941,000 and $14,386,000 for the second quarter and first six months of 2019 compared to $7,673,000 and $14,916,000 for the same periods of 2018. The decreased revenues were primarily attributable to reduced business volumes from existing customers, price concessions on renewed contracts and lost business, offset in part by new business. The Company’s fulfillment services business has been successful in obtaining new business partially as a result of a significant competitor announcing its intention to cease operations; however, one customer of the Company’s fulfillment services business whose revenues were approximately 7.8% of total Company revenues for the first six months of 2019 in-sourced a significant portion of its business from the Company’s fulfillment services business in August 2018, which transfer had been expected and previously disclosed. Otherwise, magazine publishers are one of the principal customers of the Company’s fulfillment services operations, and these customers have continued to be negatively impacted by increased competition from new media sources, alternative technologies for the distribution, storage and consumption of media content, weakness in advertising revenues and increases in paper costs, printing costs and postal rates. The result has been reduced subscription sales, which has caused publishers to close some magazine titles, change subscription fulfillment providers and seek more favorable terms from the Company’s fulfillment services business and its competitors when contracts are up for bid or renewal.

Other revenues were $300,000 and $389,000 for the second quarter and first six months of 2019 compared to $86,000 and $1,492,000 for the same periods of 2018. Other revenues for the first six months of 2018 were primarily due to a pre-tax gain of $1,318,000 related to a settlement agreement with the State of Florida by Palm Coast (refer to Note 7 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this report on Form 10-Q). In addition to this pre-tax gain in 2018, Other revenues in the second quarter and first six months of 2019 and 2018 included the recognition of deferred revenue related to an oil and gas lease, fees and forfeited deposits from customers earned by AMREP Southwest and miscellaneous other income items.

Operating and selling expenses for real estate decreased from $582,000 and $1,093,000 for the second quarter and first six months of 2018 to $245,000 and $521,000 for the same periods of 2019, primarily due to reduced commissions on sales activity and lower real estate taxes and costs of storm water pollution prevention. Operating and selling expenses for fulfillment services were $5,974,000 and $12,312,000 for the second quarter and first six months of 2019 compared to $5,983,000 and $12,077,000 for the same periods of 2018. The increase for the six month period was primarily due to increased costs related to payroll and benefits, bad debt expense, supplies expense and outside services, offset in part by reduced depreciation expense.

Real estate general and administrative expenses increased from $86,000 and $200,000 for the second quarter and first six months of 2018 to $116,000 and $304,000 for the same periods of 2019, primarily due to an increase in legal expenses related to debt financing contracts. Fulfillment services general and administrative expenses increased from $308,000 and $657,000 for the second quarter and first six months of 2018 to $334,000 and $680,000 for the same periods of 2019, primarily due to an increase in legal expenses related to a specific project that has been completed. Corporate general and administrative expenses increased from $696,000 and $1,504,000 for the second quarter and first six months of 2018 to $762,000 and $1,584,000 for the same periods of 2019, primarily due to increased costs related to payroll and healthcare benefits, offset in part by lower travel and legal expenses.

Interest expense was $7,000 and $12,000 for the second quarter and first six months of 2019 compared to $18,000 and $31,000 for the same periods of 2018. Interest expense in 2019 was related to borrowings for land development activities, while interest expense in 2018 was primarily related to the liability with the State of Florida noted above. The Company capitalized interest of $26,000 and $52,000 for the second quarter and first six months of 2019 compared to none for the same periods of 2018.

The Company had a benefit for income taxes of $47,000 and $99,000 for the second quarter and first six months of 2019 compared to a provision for income taxes of $85,000 and $851,000 for the same periods of 2018. The benefit or provision for income taxes includes expenses related to federal income tax as well as the net tax benefits related to state operating losses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company’s primary sources of funding for working capital requirements are cash flow from operations, bank financing for specific real estate projects and existing cash balances. The Company’s liquidity is affected by many factors, including some that are based on normal operations and some that are related to the industries in which the Company operates and the economy generally. Except as described below, there have been no material changes to the Company’s liquidity and capital resources as reflected in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the 2018 Form 10-K.

Pension Plan

Operating Activities

Receivables, net decreased from $5,901,000 at April 30, 2018 to $5,542,000 at October 31, 2018, primarily due lower business volumes in the fulfillment services business. Real estate inventory increased from $58,874,000 at April 30, 2018 to $58,968,000 at October 31, 2018, primarily due to an increase in land development activity, offset in part by real estate land sales. Property, plant and equipment, net decreased from $9,745,000 at April 30, 2018 to $9,207,000 at October 31, 2018, primarily due to depreciation of fixed assets. Taxes receivable, net was $209,000 at April 30, 2018, and included an anticipated refund of federal taxes of $271,000. During the three months ended July 31, 2018, the Company received the $271,000 tax refund, which resulted in a Taxes payable, net balance of $44,000 at October 31, 2018.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased from $7,497,000 at April 30, 2018 to $7,767,000 at October 31, 2018, primarily due to an increase in land development activity (refer to Note 10 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this report on Form 10-Q regarding the prior period revision to accounts payable and accrued expenses). Notes payable, net increased from $1,843,000 at April 30, 2018 to $1,972,000 at October 31, 2018, primarily due to financing of land development activity. Other liabilities and deferred revenue decreased from $149,000 at April 30, 2018 to $99,000 at October 31, 2018, primarily due to the recognition of deferred revenue related to an oil and gas lease.

The Company capitalized $1,000 of interest related to this loan in the second quarter and first six months of 2019.

Statement of Forward-Looking Information

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. The Company and its representatives may from time to time make written or oral statements that are “forward-looking”, including statements contained in this report and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, reports to the Company’s shareholders and news releases. All statements that express expectations, estimates, forecasts or projections are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In addition, other written or oral statements, which constitute forward-looking statements, may be made by or on behalf of the Company. Words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “seeks”, “estimates”, “projects”, “forecasts”, “may”, “should”, 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 contingencies that are difficult to predict. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report or, in the case of any document incorporated by reference, the date of that document. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or any person acting on behalf of the Company are qualified by the cautionary statements in this section. Many of the factors that will determine the Company’s future results are beyond the ability of management to control or predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in or suggested by such forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements contained in this report include, but are not limited to, the effect of recent accounting pronouncements on the Company, the timing of recognizing unrecognized compensation expense related to shares of restricted common stock issued under the Equity Plans, the issuance of deferred stock units to non-employee members of the Company’s Board of Directors, the liability for unrecognized tax benefits changing in the next twelve months, the availability of bank financing for projects, the expected utilization of existing bank financing, the impact and the timing of completion of accounting for the tax effects of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on the Company and the future business conditions that may be experienced by the Company. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or publicly release any revisions to forward-looking statements to reflect events, circumstances or changes in expectations after the date of such forward-looking statement, or to make any other forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. As a result of such evaluation, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. The Company believes that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in the Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
