1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2015 (“2015 Annual Report”) of MISONIX, INC. (“Misonix” or the “Company”). A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies is identified in Note 1 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2015 Annual Report. As of March 31, 2016 the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (Topic 740)”. The amendments in the ASU change the criteria for the classification of deferred income taxes and requires all deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as long term. The resulting reclassification of deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented in the current period; prior periods will be shown as reported. The effect is totally on the balance sheet. For the period ended June 30, 2015, the result is a reduction in current assets of $2,118,716 and a corresponding increase in non-current assets for the same amount. Working capital also decreased by $2,118,716 to $16,170,213. There have been no other changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies subsequent to June 30, 2015.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X pursuant to the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Misonix and its 100% owned subsidiaries, Fibra-Sonics (NY) Inc. and Hearing Innovations, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable, principally trade, are generally due within 30 to 90 days and are stated at amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current credit worthiness, as determined by a review of their current credit information. The Company continuously monitors aging reports, collections and payments from customers and maintains a provision for estimated credit losses based upon historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that have been identified. While such credit losses have historically been within expectations and the provisions established, the Company cannot guarantee that the same credit loss rates will be experienced in the future. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible.
2. (Loss)/Income Per Share of Common Stock
Basic income (loss) per common share (“basic EPS”) is computed by dividing income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income (loss) per common share (“diluted EPS”) is computed by dividing income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding (consisting of outstanding common stock options) for the period.

The number of weighted average common shares used in the calculation of basic EPS and diluted EPS were as follows:
For the nine months ended | For the three months ended | |||||||||||||||
March 31, | March 31, | |||||||||||||||
2016 | 2015 | 2016 | 2015 | |||||||||||||
Basic shares | 7,772,761 | 7,533,608 | 7,789,174 | 7,675,520 | ||||||||||||
Dilutive effect of stock options | - | 509,368 | - | 638,154 | ||||||||||||
Diluted shares | 7,772,761 | 8,042,976 | 7,789,174 | 8,313,674 |
Excluded from the calculations of diluted EPS are options to purchase 92,000 shares of common stock for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2015, as the exercise price exceeds the average market prices during the period.
Diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016 presented is the same as basic EPS as the inclusion of the effect of common share equivalents then outstanding would be anti-dilutive. For this reason, excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS are outstanding options to purchase 1,813,599 shares of common stock for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016.
3. Comprehensive (Loss)/Income
Total comprehensive (loss)/income was $(724,400) and $1,738,734 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Total comprehensive (loss)/income was $(679,244) and $454,340 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. There are no components of comprehensive income other than net income for all periods presented.
4. Stock-Based Compensation
Stock options are granted with exercise prices not less than the fair market value of our common stock at the time of the grant, with an exercise term (as determined by the committee administering the applicable option plan (the “Committee”)) not to exceed 10 years. The Committee determines the vesting period for the Company’s stock options. Generally, such stock options have vesting periods of immediate to four years. Certain option awards provide for accelerated vesting upon meeting specific retirement, death or disability criteria and upon a change in control. During the nine month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company granted options to purchase 320,000 and 369,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively.
Stock-based compensation expense for the nine month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was approximately $1,175,000 and $763,000, respectively. Stock based compensation for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was approximately $446,000 and $279,000, respectively. Compensation expense is recognized in the general and administrative expenses line of the Company’s consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods. As of March 31, 2016, there was approximately $3,759,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.6 years.
Shares may be acquired by various methods. They may be acquired by (a) cash or certified check, (b) with previously acquired shares of common stock having an aggregate fair market value, on the date of exercise, equal to the aggregate exercise price of all options being exercised (provided that such shares were not acquired less than six (6) months prior to such exercise date), (c) in certain circumstances by surrendering options to acquire shares of common stock in in exchange for the number of shares of common stock equal to the product of the number of shares of common stock as to which the options is being exercised multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the fair market value of the common stock less the exercise price of the option and the denominator of which is such fair market value. Cash in the amount of $151,247 was received from the exercise of stock options for the nine months ended March 31, 2016. The Company received 13,867 shares of previously acquired common stock as payment for options exercised for the nine months ended March 31, 2016. The acquired shares are held and accounted for as treasury stock. Total options, exercised by either cash or through surrender of previously owned shares, were 62,137. The total number of shares underlying options forfeited for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 was 1,000, representing the unvested portion upon termination of employment. Shares underlying options expiring at the end of option term totaled 280 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016.

The fair values of the options granted during the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were primarily estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model on the basis of the following weighted average assumptions during the respective periods:
For the nine months ended | ||||||||
March 31, | ||||||||
2016 | 2015 | |||||||
Risk-free interest rate | 1.4 | % | .97 | % | ||||
Expected option life in years | 4.9 | 6.5 | ||||||
Expected stock price volatility | 58.87 | % | 73.46 | % | ||||
Expected dividend yield | 0 | % | 0 | % | ||||
Weighted-average fair value of options granted | $ | 4.23 | $ | 5.4 |
The expected option term is based upon the number of years the Company estimates the option will be outstanding based on historical exercises and terminations. The expected volatility for the expected life of the options is determined using historical price changes of the Company’s stock over a period equal to that of the expected life of the options. The risk free rate is based upon the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant. The expected dividend yield is 0% as the Company has historically not declared dividends and does not anticipate declaring any in the future.
Changes in outstanding stock options during the nine months ended March 31, 2016 were as follows:

5. Income Taxes
For the nine months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recorded an income tax benefit from continuing operations of $237,000. For the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the effective rate of 27% and 4%, respectively, on continuing operations varied from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to permanent book tax differences, state taxes and a change in the valuation allowance.
The Company, as of June 30, 2015, reversed the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets based on its consideration of all available positive and negative evidence including achieving cumulative profitable operation performance over the past three years and a positive outlook for taxable income for the future. The results of the first nine months of fiscal 2016 do not alter the strong positive evidence. As a result, the Company recorded an income tax benefit for the first nine months of fiscal 2016 at the annual projected tax rate of 27%.
As of March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015, the Company has no material unrecognized tax benefits or accrued interest and penalties.

8. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company and its subsidiaries are from time to time involved in ordinary and routine litigation. Management presently believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or result of operations.
Nevertheless, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an unfavorable ruling could occur. An unfavorable ruling could include money damages and in such event, could result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations in the year in which the ruling occurs.
9. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We follow a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of “observable inputs” and minimize the use of “unobservable inputs.” The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The following is a summary of the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our financial instruments at March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015:
March 31, 2016 | Carrying Amount | Fair Value | ||||||
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 8,357,090 | $ | 8,357,090 | ||||
Trade accounts receivable | 4,101,558 | 4,101,558 | ||||||
Trade accounts payable | 1,542,547 | 1,542,547 |
June 30, 2015 | Carrying Amount | Fair Value | ||||||
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 9,623,749 | $ | 9,623,749 | ||||
Trade accounts receivable | 4,481,247 | 4,481,247 | ||||||
Trade accounts payable | 1,147,414 | 1,147,414 |

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:
Cash and cash equivalents
The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.
Trade Accounts Receivable
The carrying amount of trade receivables reflects net recovery value and approximates fair value because of their short outstanding terms.
Trade Accounts Payable
The carrying amount of trade payables approximates fair value because of their short outstanding terms.
Non-financial assets and liabilities
Certain non-financial assets and liabilities, principally goodwill, are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis; that is the assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when evidence of impairment exists. At March 31, 2016, no fair value adjustments or material fair value measurements were required for non-financial assets or liabilities.
10. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill is not amortized. We review goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or changes indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, or sale or disposition of significant assets or product lines. Application of these impairment tests requires significant judgments, including estimation of cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for our business, estimation of the useful life over which cash flows will occur and determination of our weighted-average cost of capital. We primarily use a discounted cash flow model in determining fair value, which consists of level three inputs. Changes in the projected cash flows and discount rate estimates and assumptions underlying the valuation of goodwill could materially affect the determination of fair value at acquisition or during subsequent periods when tested for impairment. The Company determined that there were no indicators that the recorded goodwill was impaired as of March 31, 2016, which required further testing.
On February 1, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with Aesculap, Inc. (“Aesculap”) to buy back certain accounts that were protected under the termination agreement entered into by Misonix and Aesculap on December 31, 2012 (the “Termination Agreement”). The Termination Agreement allowed Aesculap to continue to sell and service key accounts which were defined as accounts maintaining a specified revenue level on average over a three year term which expired on March 31, 2016. The buy back amount total was $328,136 and one half was paid on February 1, 2015 and the balance was paid on March 1, 2015. The total buy back amount included $28,867 worth of units that will be for customer use and is expected to be fully utilized. The buy back has been recorded as reacquired contractual rights in intangible and other assets and has been amortized over the period through December 31, 2015.
The cost of acquiring or processing patents is capitalized. This amount is being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the underlying assets, which is approximately 17 years. Net patents reported in intangible and other assets totaled $567,672 and $566,028 at March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015, respectively. Accumulated amortization totaled $861,448 and $791,551 at March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015, respectively. Amortization expense for the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was approximately $23,000 and $22,000, respectively. Amortization expenses for the nine month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was approximately $70,000 and $127,000, respectively.

11. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205)” and “Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” The amendments in the ASU change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations while enhancing related disclosures. The amendments in the ASU are effective in the first quarter of 2015. The adoption of ASU 2014-08 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." The new revenue recognition standard as amended provides a five-step analysis to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The standard requires that a company recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (public entities) and will be applied retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance on management's responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company's ability to continue as a going concern and related footnote disclosures. Management will be required to evaluate, at each reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about a company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued. This guidance is effective prospectively for annual and interim reporting periods beginning in 2017; implementation of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU “Inventory (Topic 330).” The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 2016. The adoption of Inventory (Topic 330) will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17 “Balance Sheet Classification of deferred Taxes (Topic740)”. The amendments in this ASU require deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The amendments eliminate the guidance in Topic 740 that requires an entity to separate deferred tax liabilities and assets into a current amount and a noncurrent amount in a classified statement of financial position. The amendments in this update have no effect on entities that do not present a classified statement of financial position. The Company adopted ASU 2015-17 as of March 31, 2016 on a prospective basis. This means that the balance sheet for the period ended June 30, 2015 will be shown as previously reported. The effect is totally on the balance sheet and resulted in a reduction in current assets of $2,118,716 and a corresponding increase in noncurrent assets for the period ended June 30, 2015. In addition, working capital would have decreased by $2,118,716 to $16,170,213 for the period ended June 30, 2015.
In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance on lease accounting requiring lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for long-term leases. The liability will be equal to the present value of lease payments. This guidance requires must be applied using a modified retrospective transition approach to all annual and interim periods presented and is effective for the company beginning in fiscal 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact of the guidance on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and related disclosures.
In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance on simplifying several aspects of accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. This guidance requires a mix of prospective, modified retrospective, and retrospective transition to all annual and interim periods presented and is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2018; implementation of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
12. Licensing Agreements for Medical Technology
In October 1996, the Company entered into a License Agreement (the "USS License") with United States Surgical (now, Medtronic Minimally Invasive Therapies (“MMIT”)) for a twenty-year period, expiring October 2016, covering the further development and commercial exploitation of the Company's medical technology relating to laparoscopic products, which uses high frequency sound waves to coagulate and divide tissue for both open and laparoscopic surgery.
The USS License gives Covidien exclusive worldwide marketing and sales rights for this technology. Under the USS License, the Company has received $475,000 in licensing fees (which are being recorded as income over the term of the USS License or 20 years), plus royalties based upon net sales of AutoSonix products. Total royalties from sales of this device were approximately $2,930,000 and $3,140,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015
Net sales: Net sales increased 8.2% or $1,261,345 to $16,716,487 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 from $15,455,142 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015. The increase is due to higher BoneScalpel® sales of $1,784,360 and higher SonicOne OR® sales of $650,898, partially offset by lower SonicOne® sales of $442,682, lower SonaStar® sales of $440,634, lower Lysonix sales of $171,625, lower service sales of $85,243 and lower other sales of $33,729. There were 62 BoneScalpel units consigned in the United States during the nine month period ended March 31, 2016 as compared to 64 units consigned for the nine months ended March 31, 2015. There were 34 SonicOne OR units consigned for the nine month period ended March 31, 2016 as compared to 13 units consigned for the nine month ended March 31, 2015.

Gross profit: Gross profit decreased to 66.7% of sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 from 67.5% of sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease in gross profit percentage is mainly related to an increase in reserves for obsolete inventory.
Selling expenses: Selling expenses increased $2,174,235 to $8,744,498 for the nine month period ended March 31, 2016 from $6,570,263 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015. The Company continues to invest in sales and marketing in order to gain market share. The increase is related to higher salary expenses of $822,526, due to increased head count, higher commission expenses of $420,539, higher travel expenses of $271,820, higher depreciation expense of $271,080 due to the increase in consignment units, higher advertising expenses of $230,814, higher employee benefit expenses of $118,667, due to increased headcount, higher training expenses of $34,937 and higher other expenses of $3,852.
General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses increased $972,246 to $5,336,507 for the nine month period ended March 31, 2016 from $4,364,261 for the nine month period ended March 31, 2015. The increase is due to higher non-cash compensation expenses of $412,344 due to the issuance of stock options, higher accounting expenses of $284,924, higher insurance expenses of $170,468 and higher salary expenses of $112,344, partially offset by lower other expenses of $7,834.
Research and development expenses: Research and development expenses increased $65,435 to $1,235,100 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 from $1,169,665 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015. The increase is due to higher product development material expenses of $131,973, higher office expenses of $8,077 and higher other expenses of $2,098, partially offset by lower patent and regulatory amortization of $76,713.
Other income (expense): Other income for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 was $2,952,722 as compared to $3,207,997 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease is primarily due to lower royalty income of $255,362 from MMIT.
Income taxes: For the nine months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recorded an effective tax rate of 26.6% compared to 3.6% for the nine months ended March 31, 2015. The Company, as of June 30, 2015, reversed the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets based upon the strong positive evidence of strong future income. The results of the first fiscal half 2016 do not alter the strong positive evidence.

Gross profit: Gross profit decreased to 65.9% of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from 68.6% of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease is primarily related to an increase in reserves for obsolete inventory.
Selling expenses: Selling expenses increased $759,159 to $3,224,962 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $2,465,803 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The Company continues to invest in sales and marketing in order to gain market share. The increase is due to higher salary expenses of $432,113, due to the increased headcount, higher travel expenses of $99,764, higher depreciation expenses of $74,528 due to the increase in consigned units, higher advertising expenses of $51,207, higher employee benefits expenses of $47,586, due to increased head count, higher training expenses of $37,951 and higher other expenses of $16,010.
General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses increased $89,996 to $1,673,395 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $1,583,399 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase is related to higher non-cash compensation expenses of $166,936 due to the issuance of stock options, partially offset by lower salary expenses of $46,862, lower stockholder relations expenses of $13,403, lower directors fee expenses of $5,168 due to the loss of one director and lower other expenses of $11,507.
Research and development expenses: Research and development expenses increased $86,003 to $493,776 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $407,773 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase is due to higher product development material expenses of $76,709, higher salary expenses of $18,746, partially offset by lower training and office expenses of $8,572 and lower other expenses of $880.
Other income (expense): Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $957,580 as compared to $1,025,587 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease is primarily due to lower royalty income of $69,002 from MMIT.
Income (Loss): Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $(679,244) as compared to net income of $454,340 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The Company continues to invest in sales and marketing in order to gain market share.
Income taxes: For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recorded an effective tax rate of 1.7% compared to 3.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The Company, as of June 30, 2015, reversed the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets based upon the strong positive evidence of strong future income. The results of the first fiscal quarter 2016 do not alter the strong positive evidence. As a result, the Company recorded an income tax benefit for the first fiscal quarter 2016 at the annual projected tax rate of 26.6%.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We regularly review our cash funding requirements and attempt to meet those requirements through a combination of cash on hand, cash provided by operations and possible future public or private debt and/or equity offerings. At times, we evaluate possible acquisitions of, or investments in, businesses that are complementary to ours, which may require the use of cash. At March 31, 2016, we had $8,357,990 in cash and no long term debt. We believe that our cash, other liquid assets and access to equity capital markets, taken together, provide adequate resources to fund ongoing operating expenditures. In the event that they do not, we may require additional funds in the future to support our working capital requirements or for other purposes and may seek to raise such additional funds through the sale of public or private equity and/or debt financings, and divestiture of current business lines as well as from other sources. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available in the future or that if available, such financing will be obtainable on favorable terms when required.
Working capital at March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015 was approximately $16,197,000 and $18,289,000, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2016, cash used by operations totaled $1,100,804, primarily related to the net loss and increased inventory. For the nine months ended March 31, 2016, cash used in investing activities was $482,102 and is related to the acquisition of additional fixed assets and patent filings. For the nine months ended March 31, 2016, cash provided by financing activities was $151,247 from the exercise of stock options. For the nine months ended March 31, 2016, cash provided by discontinued operations was $165,000.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Market Risk:
The principal market risks (i.e., the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices) to which the Company is exposed are interest rates on cash and cash equivalents.
Interest Rate Risk:
The Company earns interest on cash balances and pays interest on debt incurred. In light of the Company’s existing cash, results of operations and projected borrowing requirements, the Company does not believe that a 10% change in interest rates would have a significant impact on its consolidated financial position.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decision regarding required disclosures. The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2016 and, based on their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
