NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six-month period ended July 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending January 31, 2011. The information contained in the balance sheet as of January 31, 2010 was derived from the audited financial statements for Titan Machinery Inc. (the Company) for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2010 as filed with the SEC.
Nature of Business
Titan Machinery Inc. is engaged in the retail sale, service and rental of agricultural and construction machinery through stores in North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Montana and Wyoming.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Transportation Solutions LLC. All significant accounts, transactions and profits between the consolidated companies have been eliminated in consolidation.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of cash, receivables, payables, short-term debt and other current liabilities approximates fair value because of the short maturity and/or frequent repricing of those instruments. Based upon current borrowing rates with similar maturities, the carrying value of the long-term debt approximates the fair value as of July 31, 2010 and January 31, 2010.
Exit and Disposal Costs
The Company accounts for exit or disposal activities, including store closures, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations. Such costs mainly include lease termination costs and employee termination costs. The Company records a liability for any remaining lease obligations, net of estimated sublease income or estimated loss on disposal if the Company buys and subsequently sells the leased property, as of the date the Company ceases using the property. Any subsequent adjustments to that liability as a result of changes in estimates are recorded in the period incurred. The Company records a liability for employee termination costs at the date the termination benefits were communicated to the employees.
As part of the Companys Construction business action plan, in April 2010, the Company decided to close its Construction store in Columbia Falls, Montana. The primary exit costs relate to estimated lease termination costs of $185,000 and employee termination costs of $27,000. The Company is transferring the majority of the assets and related floorplan notes payable and long-term debt to other stores. Exit costs of $110,000 and $75,000 are included in the line items of operating expenses and interest and other income, respectively, on the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended July 31, 2010. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending liability balance follows:

Recent Accounting Guidance
In July 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses, codified in ASC 310, Receivables. This guidance amends the current disclosure requirements to provide a greater level of disaggregated information about the credit quality of its financing receivables and its allowance for credit losses. The guidance also requires an entity to disclose credit quality indicators, past due information, and modifications of its financing receivables. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2010. The Company is in the process of determining the impact that this guidance will have on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 - LINES OF CREDIT / FLOORPLAN NOTES PAYABLE
Operating Line of Credit
The Company entered into a Loan Agreement (the Loan Agreement) with Bremer Bank National Association (Bremer Bank) on July 15, 2009, as amended on July 13, 2010, which provides for a $25.0 million revolving operating line of credit (Revolving Loan) and a $12.9 million term loan (Term Loan). The Revolving Loan may be used to fund short term working capital requirements of the Company, and replaces the Companys previous $25.0 million operating line of credit with Bremer Bank. The Revolving Loan has a variable interest rate of 0.25% per annum below a Bremer Bank reference rate (subject to a minimum interest rate floor of 4.5%) on outstanding balances, has a 0.5% non-usage fee on the average monthly unused amount, requires monthly payments of accrued interest, and has a maturity date of July 12, 2011. Advances under the Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Companys assets. See details of the Term Loan in the long-term debt schedule in the Companys Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2010 as filed with the SEC.
The Company had no amount outstanding on the Revolving Loan at July 31, 2010. The Loan Agreement contains certain financial covenants which impose minimum levels of current ratio, debt service coverage, and inventory turnover ratio
and a maximum level of debt to tangible net worth ratio. As of July 31, 2010, the Company was in compliance with all of these financial covenants.
Floorplan Lines of Credit
The Company has discretionary floorplan lines of credit for equipment purchases totaling approximately $400.0 million with various lending institutions, including a $300.0 million Wholesale Floorplan Credit Facility with CNH Capital America LLC (CNH Capital) and $50.0 million with GE Commercial Distribution Finance Corporation (GE). The available borrowings under the CNH Capital credit facility are reduced by outstanding floorplan notes payable, rental fleet financing and other acquisition-related financing arrangements with CNH Capital. During fiscal 2010, interest rates for new borrowings under the CNH Capital floorplan line of credit ranged from the prime rate plus 0.3% to the prime rate plus 6% per annum, subject to any interest-free periods offered by CNH Capital. Beginning in February 2010, interest rates are equal to the prime rate plus 4% on new borrowings, subject to any interest-free periods offered by CNH Capital. The CNH Capital credit facility automatically renews on August 31 of each year through August 31, 2012, unless earlier terminated by either party. Under covenants of the CNH Capital credit facility, the Company has agreed, among other things, to maintain various financial ratio levels and to submit certain financial information. It also contains various restrictive covenants that require prior consent of CNH Capital if the Company desires to engage in any acquisition of, consolidation or merger with any other business entity in which the Company is not the surviving company; create subsidiaries; move any collateral outside of the U.S.; or sell, rent, lease or otherwise dispose or transfer any of the collateral, other than in the ordinary course of business. CNH Capitals consent is also required for the acquisition of any CNH dealership. In addition, the CNH Capital credit facility restricts the Companys ability to incur any liens upon any substantial part of its assets.
The GE credit facility may be used to purchase new and used inventory from vendors approved by GE, or to finance or refinance new or used inventory. The interest rate on borrowings under the GE floorplan line of credit is equal to the three-month LIBOR rate plus 5.5%. The GE credit facility may be terminated by either party on 60 days notice. Under covenants of the GE credit facility, the Company has agreed, among other things, to maintain various financial ratio levels and to submit certain financial information. It also contains various restrictive covenants regarding related party transactions outside of the ordinary course of business and requires GEs prior consent if the Company desires to engage in any acquisition meeting certain financial thresholds; make any investments outside of the ordinary course of business; or have a change in control, as defined by the agreement.
Floorplan notes payable relating to these credit facilities totaled approximately $303.2 million of the total floorplan notes payable balance of $317.5 million outstanding as of July 31, 2010 and $245.3 million of the total floorplan notes payable balance of $249.9 million outstanding as of January 31, 2010. As of July 31, 2010, the Company had approximately $82.2 million in available borrowings remaining under these lines of credit. These floorplan notes carried various interest rates primarily ranging from 3.25 to 7.25% as of July 31, 2010, subject to interest-free periods offered by CNH Capital, and are secured by the related inventory. Repayment terms vary by individual notes, but generally payments are made from sales proceeds or rental revenue from the related inventories. As of July 31, 2010, the Company was in compliance with all floorplan financial covenants.
NOTE 4 - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
On June 1, 2010, the Company acquired certain assets of Hubbard Implement, Inc. The acquired entity consisted of one agricultural equipment store located in Iowa Falls, Iowa which is contiguous to the Companys existing locations in Grundy Center and Waverly, Iowa. The acquisition-date fair value of the total consideration transferred for the dealership was $1,496,000.
During the six months ended July 31, 2010 adjustments were recorded for additional consideration of $1,384,000 earned and paid under agreements disclosed in the Companys Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2010 as filed with the SEC. This additional consideration resulted in a net increase in goodwill of $1,384,000.
The results of operations have been included in the Companys consolidated results of operations since the date of the business combination. The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the above business combinations and adjustments on prior acquisitions are presented in the following table:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Item 1 of Part 1 of this Quarterly Report, and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2010.
Critical Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes in our Critical Accounting Policies, as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2010.
Overview
We own and operate a network of full service agricultural and construction equipment stores in the United States. Based upon information provided to us by CNH Global N.V. or its U.S. subsidiary CNH America LLC, collectively referred to in our Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2010 as CNH, we are the worlds largest retail dealer of Case IH Agriculture equipment and a major retail dealer of New Holland Agriculture, Case Construction and New Holland Construction equipment in the U.S. We have two primary business segments, Agriculture and Construction, within each of which we sell and rent new and used equipment, sell parts, and service the equipment in the markets surrounding our stores.
Our net income was $2.7 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the three months ended July 31, 2010, compared to $4.9 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the three months ended July 31, 2009. Significant factors impacting the quarterly comparisons were:
· Increase in revenue primarily due to Agriculture acquisitions and same-store sales growth in our Construction segment;
· Comparable gross profits to our second quarter of last year, which resulted from lower margins (primarily on equipment and service) on higher overall revenues in the three months ending July 31, 2010; and
· Increase in floorplan interest expense due to higher floorplan notes payable balances and higher interest rates.
Results of Operations
Comparative financial data for each of our four sources of revenue are expressed below. The results for these periods include the operating results of the acquisitions made during these periods. The period-to-period comparisons included below are not necessarily indicative of future results. Segment information is provided later in this discussion and analysis of our results of operations.

The increase in revenue for the three months ended July 31, 2010, as compared to the same period last year, was due to acquisitions contributing $10.0 million and same-store sales growth contributing $6.5 million, representing a same-store sale growth of 3.4% over the prior year quarter. The revenue growth from acquisitions occurred in our Agriculture segment and the same-store sales growth primarily came from our Construction segment. The sales increases in the Construction segment are due in part to the execution of our fiscal 2011 Construction business action plan in the first half of fiscal 2011, which included right-sizing our rental fleet, changing key Construction personnel and implementing the Titan strong-store operating model into the fiscal 2009 Construction acquisition stores.

Gross profits were flat for the three months ended July 31, 2010, as compared to the same period last year. Acquisitions contributed $1.6 million to the increase in gross profit for the three months ended July 31, 2010, while same-store gross profits decreased $1.5 million. Contributing to the quarter over quarter comparable gross profits were increased revenues offset by lower margins primarily in the equipment (down 1.4% to 9.7%) and service (down 4.1% to 60.2%) areas of our business. Pricing pressure from our competition continues to compress equipment margins quarter over quarter. We anticipate this trend to moderate in the second half of the year as a result of increased equipment demand. Although our service margins were down we experienced a revenue increase of 11.9% in our service area resulting in a positive gross profit contribution from service of $0.5 million over the prior year quarter. The lower service margins can partially be attributed to higher labor cost of sales related to the investment in new technicians through headcount additions, internship programs and service training as well as comparing to strong second quarter service margins in fiscal 2010.
Total gross profit margins were down 1.4% to 17.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to 18.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. The decrease in total gross profit margins was primarily due to the lower equipment and service margins discussed above.

Agriculture
Agriculture revenues for the three months ended July 31, 2010 increased 6.5% compared to the same period last year. The revenue increase was primarily due to Agriculture segment acquisitions occurring over the past year, which consisted of eight stores. Same-store-sales for the Agriculture segment remained relatively flat, reflecting an increase of 0.6% over the second quarter of fiscal 2010.
Income before income taxes decreased 37.6% primarily due to lower Agriculture gross profit margins on equipment revenues, which is reflective of increased pricing pressures from our competition, as well as higher floorplan interest expense resulting from increased floorplan notes payable balances and increased interest rates in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the same period last year.
Construction
Construction revenues for the three months ended July 31, 2010 increased 18.9% compared to the same period last year. The revenue increase was primarily due to a Construction same-store sales increase of 18.7% over the second quarter of fiscal 2010.
Loss before income taxes increased 8.5% primarily due to higher floorplan interest expense resulting from increased floorplan notes payable balances and increased interest rates in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the same period last year. Also contributing to the loss were additional second quarter exit costs of $92,000 related to the closing of our store in Columbia Falls, Montana. Partially offsetting these additional expenses was higher Construction segment gross profits due to increased revenues over the prior year second quarter.
Shared Resources/Eliminations
Shared Resources allocations to each of our segments are set early in the year and therefore unallocated balances may occur. The Shared Resource amount decreased $0.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the prior year.
Eliminations remove any inter-company revenues or income before income taxes residing in our segment results.

The $6.0 million increase in gross profit for the six months ended July 31, 2010, as compared to the same period last year, was primarily due to increased revenue. Acquisitions contributed $4.2 million to the increase in gross profit for the six months ended July 31, 2010, while increases in same-store gross profits contributed the remaining $1.8 million. Offsetting the positive effect to gross profits of higher revenue were lower margins primarily on equipment, which decreased 1.3% from 10.6% to 9.3% in the six months ended July 31, 2010. The equipment margin compression is due to pricing pressure from our competitors. We anticipate this trend to moderate in the second half of the year as a result of increased equipment demand. Parts margins were down 1.0% to 28.5% and service margins were down 1.9% to 62.0%; however, we are still realizing increased same-store gross profits in both of these areas. The decrease in equipment, parts and service margins were the primary factors in decreasing total gross profit margins to 17.0% for the six months ended July 31, 2010 from 17.9% in the prior year six month period.

Agriculture
Agriculture revenues for the six months ended July 31, 2010 increased 13.9% compared to the same period last year. The revenue increase was due to acquisitions and an Agriculture same-store sales increase of 6.4% over the six months ended July 31, 2009.
Income before income tax decreased 29.8% primarily due to lower Agriculture gross profit margins on equipment revenues, which is reflective of increased pricing pressures from our competition, as well as higher floorplan interest expense resulting from increased floorplan notes payable balances and increased interest rates for the six months ended July 31, 2010 compared to the same period last year.
Construction
Construction revenues for the six months ended July 31, 2010 increased 23.9% compared to the same period last year. The revenue increase was due to acquisitions and a Construction same-store sales increase of 16.3% over the six months ended July 31, 2009.
Loss before income taxes increased 1.2% primarily due to higher floorplan interest expense resulting from increased floorplan notes payable balances and increased interest rates in the six months ended July 31, 2010 compared to the same period last year. Also contributing to the loss was $212,000 in exit costs related to the closing of our store in Columbia Falls, Montana. Partially offsetting these additional expenses were higher Construction segment gross profits due to increased revenues in the six months ended July 31, 2010 compared to the same period last year.
Shared Resources/Eliminations
Shared Resources allocations to each of our segments are set early in the year and therefore unallocated balances may occur. The Shared Resource amount decreased $0.6 million in the first six months of fiscal 2011 compared to the prior year.
Eliminations remove any inter-company revenues or income before income taxes residing in our segment results.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flow from Operating Activities
For the six months ended July 31, 2010, our cash flow used for operating activities was $30.2 million. Our cash flow used for operations was primarily the result of our reported net income of $4.3 million and an add-back of non-cash depreciation and amortization of $4.2 million. This amount was principally offset by an increase in net cash used for inventories of $28.3 million, a net increase in receivables, prepaid expenses and other assets of $6.8 million and a net decrease in accounts payable, customer deposits, accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities of $4.9 million. The increase in inventories primarily reflects new equipment purchases to support future sales. We expect our inventory levels to decrease from current levels by the end of the fiscal year because of seasonally higher equipment sales in the second half of our fiscal year.
For the six months ended July 31, 2009, our cash flow used in operating activities was $27.4 million. Our cash flow from operations was primarily the result of our reported net income of $6.6 million, an increase in floorplan notes payable of $3.0 million, an increase in income taxes payable of $3.0 million, and an add-back of non-cash depreciation and amortization of $4.0 million. This amount was principally offset by an increase in inventories of $35.2 million and a net decrease in accounts payable, customer deposits, accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities of $8.8 million. The increase in inventories reflected historical stocking levels to support future sales.
We evaluate our cash flow from operating activities net of all floorplan activity and short-term advances related to customer contracts in transit. Taking these adjustments into account, our non-GAAP cash flow used for operating activities as of July 31, 2010 was $7.1 million. For a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure, please see the Non-GAAP Cash Flow Reconciliation section below.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
For the six months ended July 31, 2010, cash used for investing activities was $8.5 million. Our cash flow used for investing activities primarily consisted of purchases of property and equipment of $6.3 million and the purchases of equipment dealerships (net of cash purchased) of $2.4 million.
For the six months ended July 31, 2009, cash provided by investing activities was $33.5 million. Our cash provided by investing activities primarily consisted of the sale of U.S. treasury bills of $45.0 million, offset by purchases of property and equipment for $7.6 million.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
For the six months ended July 31, 2010, cash provided by financing activities was $24.0 million. Cash provided by financing activities was primarily the result of an increase in non-manufacturer floorplan notes payable of $23.4 million and proceeds from long-term debt borrowings exceeding principal payments on long-term debt by $0.8 million.
For the six months ended July 31, 2009, cash provided by financing activities was $38.8 million. Cash provided by financing activities was primarily the result of an increase in non-manufacturer floorplan payable of $25.2 million and proceeds from long-term debt and short term advances exceeding principal payments on long-term debt by $13.6 million.
Non-GAAP Cash Flow Reconciliation
Non-GAAP cash flow provided by (used for) operating activities is a non-GAAP financial measure which is adjusted for the following:
· Non-manufacturer floorplan notes payable: We review our cash flow from operating activities to include all floorplan notes payable activity regardless of whether we obtain the financing from a manufacturer or a non-manufacturer. We consider inventory financing with both manufacturers and non-manufacturers to be part of the normal operations of our business and use the adjusted cash flow analysis in the evaluation of our inventory and inventory flooring needs. GAAP categorizes non-manufacturer floorplan payable as financing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
· Short-term advances related to customer contracts in transit: We review our cash flow from operating activities to include short-term advances related to customer contracts in transit. These advances are directly related to our contracts in transit and are considered part of our working capital. GAAP categorizes short-term advances related to customer contracts in transit as financing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
The following table reconciles net cash provided by (used for) operating activities, a GAAP measure, to non-GAAP cash flow provided by (used for) operating activities for the six months ended July 31, 2010 and 2009 and net cash provided by (used for) financing activities, a GAAP measure, to non-GAAP cash flow provided by (used for) financing activities for the six months ended July 31, 2010 and 2009:

Non-GAAP cash flow provided by (used for) operating activities should be evaluated in addition to, and not considered a substitute for, or superior to, other GAAP measures such as net cash provided by (used for) operating activities.
Sources of Liquidity
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash reserves, cash flow from operations, proceeds from the issuance of debt and borrowings under our credit facilities. For more information on our credit facilities, please see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We expect that ongoing requirements for debt service and capital expenditures will be funded from these sources.
Adequacy of Capital Resources
Our primary uses of cash have been to fund our strategic acquisitions, finance the purchase of inventory, meet debt service requirements and fund operating activities, working capital, payments due under building space operating leases and manufacturer floorplan notes payable. Based on our current operational performance, we believe our cash flow from operations, available cash and available borrowings under the existing credit facilities will adequately provide our liquidity needs for, at a minimum, the next 12 months.
Certain Information Concerning Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance, special purpose entities or variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. We are, therefore, not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in these relationships. In the normal course of our business activities, we lease rental equipment and buildings under operating leases.
PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking information is included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including in Managements Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations, as well as in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2010 that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and in other materials filed or to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made or to be made by the Company).
Forward-looking statements include all statements based on future expectations and specifically include, among other things, all statements relating to our expectations regarding our primary liquidity sources, expectations as to gross margins and inventory, and expectations as to adequacy of our capital resources. Any statements that are not based upon historical facts, including the outcome of events that have not yet occurred and our expectations for future performance, are forward-looking statements. The words potential, believe, estimate, expect, intend, may, could, will, plan, anticipate, and similar words and expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of our management. Such forward-looking information involves important risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect anticipated results in the future and, accordingly, such results may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, adverse market conditions in the agricultural and construction equipment industries, the continuation of unfavorable conditions in the credit markets and those matters identified and discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K under the section titled Risk Factors.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices such as interest rates. For fixed rate debt, interest rate changes affect the fair value of financial instruments but do not impact earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for floating rate debt, interest rate changes generally do not affect the fair value but do impact future earnings and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant. We have both fixed and floating rate financing.
Based upon balances and interest rates as of July 31, 2010, holding other variables constant, a one percentage point increase in interest rates for the next 12-month period would decrease pre-tax earnings and cash flow by approximately $1.7 million. Conversely, a one percentage point decrease in interest rates for the next 12-month period would result in an increase to pre-tax earnings and cash flow of approximately $1.7 million. At July 31, 2010, we had variable rate floorplan notes payable of $317.5 million, of which approximately $151.3 million was interest-bearing, variable notes payable and long-term debt of $13.8 million, and fixed rate notes payable and long-term debt of $19.3 million.
Our policy is not to enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. After evaluating the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer with the participation of the Companys management, have concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) are effective to ensure that information that is required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with the participation of the Companys management, have also concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
(b) Changes in internal controls. There has not been any change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) during its most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
We are currently not a party to any material pending legal proceedings.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, including the important information in Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, you should carefully consider the Risk Factors discussed in our Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2010 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Those factors, if they were to occur, could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements in this report, and materially adversely affect our financial condition or future results. Although we are not aware of any other factors that we currently anticipate will cause our forward-looking statements to differ materially from our future actual results, or materially affect the Companys financial condition or future results, additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial might materially adversely affect our actual business, financial condition and/or operating results.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
None.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
