NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2013 AND 2012

Organization and Business

CSP Inc. was founded in 1968 and is based in Billerica, Massachusetts. To meet the diverse requirements of its industrial, commercial and defense customers worldwide, CSP Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively “CSPI” or the “Company”) develop and market IT integration solutions and high-performance cluster computer systems. The Company operates in two segments, its Systems segment and its Service and System Integration segment.

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. All adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, the Company believes that although the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, the unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the footnotes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012.

2. Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

3. Earnings Per Share of Common Stock

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per common share reflects the maximum dilution that would have resulted from the assumed exercise and share repurchase related to dilutive stock options and is computed by dividing net income by the assumed weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

We are required to present earnings per share, or EPS, utilizing the two class method because we had outstanding, non-vested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, which are considered participating securities.

Basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the Company’s reported net income attributable to common stockholders are as follows:



	For the three months ended					For the nine months ended
	June 30, 2013			June 30, 2012		June 30, 2013		June 30, 2012
	(Amounts in thousands except per share data)
Net income (loss)	$	(478	)	$	774	$	377	$	1,677
Less: Net income (loss) attributable to nonvested common stock	(10		)	15		8		30
Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders	$	(468	)	$	759	$	369	$	1,647

Weighted average total shares outstanding – basic	3,468			3,433		3,447		3,422
Less: weighted average non-vested shares outstanding	72			67		69		60
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding – basic	3,396			3,366		3,378		3,362
Potential common shares from non-vested stock awards and the assumed exercise of stock options	—			52		54		43
Weighted average common shares outstanding – diluted	3,396			3,418		3,432		3,405

Net income (loss) per share – basic	$	(0.14	)	$	0.23	$	0.11	$	0.49
Net income (loss) per share – diluted	$	(0.14	)	$	0.22	$	0.11	$	0.48

All anti-dilutive securities, including certain stock options, are excluded from the diluted income per share computation. For the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, 173,000 and 195,000 options, respectively, were excluded from the diluted income per share calculation because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, 162,000 and 198,000 options, respectively, were excluded from the diluted income per share calculation because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

4. Inventories

Inventories consist of the following:



	June 30, 2013		September 30, 2012
	(Amounts in thousands)
Raw materials	$	1,217	$	941
Work-in-process	669		1,407
Finished goods	3,306		3,928
Total	$	5,192	$	6,276

Finished goods includes inventory that has been shipped, but for which all revenue recognition criteria has not been met, of approximately $1.1 million and $1.4 million as of June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively.

Total inventory balances in the table above are shown net of reserves for obsolescence of approximately $4.5 million and $4.4 million as of June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively.

5. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss are as follows:



	June 30, 2013			September 30, 2012
	(Amounts in thousands)
Cumulative effect of foreign currency translation	$	(2,274	)	$	(2,273	)
Additional minimum pension liability	(4,339		)	(4,339		)
Accumulated other comprehensive loss	$	(6,613	)	$	(6,612	)

6. Pension and Retirement Plans

The Company has defined benefit and defined contribution plans in the United Kingdom, Germany and the U.S. In the United Kingdom and Germany, the Company provides defined benefit pension plans and defined contribution plans for the majority of its employees. In the U.S., the Company provides benefits through supplemental retirement plans to certain current and former employees. The domestic supplemental retirement plans have life insurance policies which are not plan assets but were purchased by the Company as a vehicle to fund the costs of the plan. Domestically, the Company also provides for officer death benefits through post-retirement plans to certain officers. All of the Company’s defined benefit plans are closed to newly hired employees and have been for the two years ended September 30, 2012 and for the nine months ended June 30, 2013.

The Company funds its pension plans in amounts sufficient to meet the requirements set forth in applicable employee benefits laws and local tax laws. Liabilities for amounts in excess of these funding levels are accrued and reported in the consolidated balance sheets.

Our pension plan in the United Kingdom is the only plan with plan assets. The plan assets consist of an investment in a commingled fund which in turn comprises a diversified mix of assets including corporate equity securities, government securities and corporate debt securities.

The components of net periodic benefit costs related to the U.S. and international plans are as follows:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

The discussion below contains certain forward-looking statements related to, among others, but not limited to, statements concerning future revenues and future business plans. In addition, forward-looking statements include statements in which we use words such as “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” or similar expressions. Although we believe the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we cannot assure you that these expectations will prove to have been correct, and actual results may vary from those contained in such forward-looking statements.

Markets for our products and services are characterized by rapidly changing technology, new product introductions and short product life cycles. These changes can adversely affect our business and operating results. Our success will depend on our ability to enhance our existing products and services and to develop and introduce, on a timely and cost effective basis, new products that keep pace with technological developments and address increasing customer requirements. The inability to meet these demands could adversely affect our business and operating results.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to uncollectible receivables, inventory valuation, income taxes, deferred compensation and retirement plans, estimated selling prices used for revenue recognition and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical performance and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A description of our critical accounting policies is contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 in the “Critical Accounting Policies” section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Results of Operations

Overview of the nine months ended June 30, 2013 Results of Operations

Overview:

Revenue increased by approximately $3.3 million, or 5%, to $65.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 versus $62.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2012. Despite this increase in sales volume, our gross profit, operating income and net income were lower than the prior-year nine-month period, primarily because of a decrease in overall gross profit margin, which decreased from 24% for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 to 21% for the nine months ended June 30, 2013. Operating profit was approximately $0.7 million for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2013 versus $2.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2012. Net income was $0.4 million for nine-month period ended June 30, 2013 versus $1.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in gross profit margin was due primarily to the company having realized approximately $5.0 million in royalty revenue in the prior year nine-month period compared to $0.8 million in the current year nine-month period.

The following table details our results of operations in dollars and as a percentage of sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:

As shown above, total revenues increased by approximately $3.3 million, or 5%, for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2012. Revenue in the Systems segment decreased for the current year nine- month period versus the prior year nine-month period by approximately $3.7 million, while revenues in the Service and System Integration segment increased by approximately $6.9 million.

Product revenues increased by approximately $6.0 million, or 14%, for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. Product revenues in the Service and System Integration segment increased by approximately $5.6 million while in the Systems segment product revenue increased by approximately $0.5 million for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2013 versus the nine month period ended June 30, 2012.

In the US division of the Service and System Integration segment, product sales increased by approximately $12.2 million, offset by decreases in the German division of approximately $5.7 million and in the UK division of approximately $1.0 million.

In the US division, the increase was due in part to sales to new customers (customers to which no sales were made in the prior year), which totaled approximately $4.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2013. In addition, sales increased to large existing customers in the IT hosting vertical by an aggregate of approximately $8.3 million. These increases were offset by aggregate net decreases to existing customers across all other verticals of approximately $1.0 million.

In Germany, the $5.7 million decrease in product revenue was driven by decreased sales to the division’s largest customer, a large UK-based wireless carrier, to which product sales decreased by approximately $3.2 million. In addition, product sales to another of the division's largest customers from the previous year decreased by approximately $3.4 million. Offsetting these decreases, new customer sales totaled approximately $0.5 million. Sales to all other customers increased by a net of approximately $0.4 million. The decrease in product sales in the UK division was the result of weaker demand from our UK customer base in the current-year nine month period versus the prior year nine month period.

The increase in product revenues in the Systems segment of approximately $0.5 million was due largely to an increase in sales to our Japanese defense department customer of approximately $0.3 million, and net increases of $0.2 million in sales of other existing US defense department and commercial customers.

As shown in the table above, service revenues decreased by approximately $2.8 million, or 15%. This decrease was made up of a decrease in the Systems segment of $4.1 million offset by an increase in the Service and System Integration segment of approximately $1.4 million. The decrease in the Systems segment service revenue was due to lower royalty income recorded in the nine months ended June 30, 2013 which was approximately $0.8 million versus $5.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2012.

The increase in service revenues in the Service and System Integration segment was due to an increase in the German division, where service revenue increased by approximately $0.7 million, and an increase in service revenues of approximately $0.6 million in the US division. In Germany, the increase in service sales was driven by new customer sales of approximately $0.6 million. The increase in service revenue in the US division of the segment was primarily from higher third party maintenance revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 versus the nine months ended June 30, 2012.

Our sales by geographic area, based on the location to which the products were shipped or services rendered, are as follows:

Totals	$	65,726	100	%	$	62,476	100	%	$	3,250		5	%

The increase in Americas revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 versus the nine months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily the result of the fluctuations described above in the US division of the Service and System Integration segment where combined product and service sales to US customers increased by an aggregate $13.4 million while in the Systems segment, sales to US customers in the Americas were lower by approximately $4.1 million.

The decrease in sales in Europe was the result of the lower sales described above from the German and UK divisions of the Service and System Integration segment, which made up approximately $5.8 million of the decrease, while Europe sales from the US division of the Service and System Integration segment decreased by approximately $0.6 million. The increase in Asia sales was the result of the increase in sales to our existing customer that supplies a large Japanese defense program (see discussion above).

Total cost of sales increased by approximately $4.2 million when comparing the nine months ended June 30, 2013 versus the nine months ended June 30, 2012. This increase in cost of sales was due in large part to the overall increase in sales as discussed previously, however whereas sales increased by 5% , cost of sales increased by 9%. The resulting lower gross profit margin ("GPM") of 21% for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 versus 24% for 2012 was primarily attributable to a greater proportion of Systems segment revenue (13%) for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 versus the nine months ended June 30, 2013 (7%).

In the Service and System Integration segment, the overall GPM was 18% for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 16% for the prior year nine-month period. Product GPM in the segment was unchanged at 14% for both the nine-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012 while the segment’s service GPM increased from 24% to 29% . The increase in service GPM in the Service and System Integration segment from 24% for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2012 to 29% for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 was due primarily to higher utilization of in-house service engineers in providing billable services in Germany, and higher third-party maintenance revenue for the current year nine-month period versus that of the prior year.

In the Systems segment, the overall GPM decreased from 75% to 65% as shown in the table above. This was because in the current year nine-month period, royalty revenue, which carries a 100% GPM, made up a much lower percentage (17%) of total Systems segment revenue versus the prior year nine-month period, wherein royalty revenue was 63% of total Systems segment revenue.

Engineering and Development Expenses

The following table details our engineering and development expenses by operating segment for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:



	For the nine months ended,
	June 30, 2013		% of Total		June 30, 2012		% of Total		$ Decrease			% Decrease

Service and System Integration	—		—		—		—		—			—
Total	$	1,261	100	%	$	1,301	100	%	$	(40	)	(3	)%

As shown in the table above, engineering and development expenses did not vary significantly for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 versus the nine-month period ended June 30, 2012, as approximately the same amount of resources were expended in both nine-month periods.

Selling, General and Administrative

The following table details our selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense by operating segment for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:



	For the nine months ended,
	June 30, 2013		% of Total		June 30, 2012		% of Total		$ Increase (Decrease)			% Increase (Decrease)

Service and System Integration	8,948		76	%	7,491		69	%	1,457			19	%
Total	$	11,790	100	%	$	10,828	100	%	$	962		9	%

SG&A expenses increased in the Service and System Integration segment by approximately $1.5 million as shown above. This increase was due primarily to higher commissions and other incentive compensation expense which increased by approximately $0.8 million, due to the higher gross profit, and operating profit in the segment, higher salary expenses for additional headcount and promotions of approximately $0.6 million and higher bad debt expense of approximately $0.1 million. These increased expenses were in the US division of the segment. In the Systems segment, SG&A expenses decreased by approximately $0.5 million from lower retirement plan expenses of $0.3 million and lower bonus of $0.5 million offset by

expenses incurred for legal and consulting expenses in connection with a proxy contest initiated by a shareholder, of $0.3 million.

Other Income/Expenses

The following table details our other income (expense) for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:

Overview of the three months ended June 30, 2013 Results of Operations

Overview:

Revenue decreased by approximately $3.3 million, or (15)%, to $19.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 versus $22.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. This decrease in sales volume coupled with a decrease in overall gross profit margin, which decreased from 23% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 to 20% for the three months ended June 30, 2013, resulted in our operating income and net income decreasing significantly compared with the prior-year three-month period. The decrease in gross profit margin was due in large part to the company having realized approximately $2.0 million in royalty revenue in the prior year three-month period compared to no royalty revenue in the current year three-month period.

For the three months ended June 30, 2013, we had an operating loss of approximately $0.7 million versus an operating profit of approximately $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, for a decrease of approximately $1.9 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, the net loss was approximately $0.5 million versus net income of approximately $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, for a decrease of approximately $1.3 million.

As shown above, total revenues decreased by approximately $3.3 million, or (15)%, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012. Revenue in the Systems segment decreased for the current year three-month period versus the prior year three-month period by approximately $2.7 million, while revenues in the Service and System Integration segment decreased by approximately $0.6 million.

Product revenues decreased by approximately $1.5 million, or (9)%, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. Product revenues in the Service and System Integration segment decreased by approximately $0.9 million while in the Systems segment product revenue decreased by approximately $0.7 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 versus the three-month period ended June 30, 2012.

In the US division of the Service and System Integration segment, product sales increased by approximately $3.0 million, offset by decreases in sales in this segment’s German division of approximately $3.7 million and in the UK division of approximately $0.2 million.

In the US division, the increase was due in part to sales to new customers (customers to which no sales were made in the prior year), which totaled approximately $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. In addition, product sales increased to large existing customers in the IT hosting vertical by an aggregate of approximately $3.5 million. These increases were offset by aggregate net decreases to existing customers across all other verticals of approximately $1.6 million.

In Germany, the $3.7 million decrease in product revenue was due to lower sales to large customers in the telecom and technology verticals of approx $4.0 million, offset by sales to new customers of approximately $0.3 million .

The decrease in product revenues in the Systems segment of approximately $0.7 million was due to decreased sales to our Japanese defense department customer of approximately $1.0 million offset by an increase in product sales to one of our US defense department customers, of approximately $0.3 million.

As shown in the table above, service revenues decreased by approximately $1.8 million, or 29%. This decrease was made up of a decrease in the Systems segment of $2.0 million and an increase in the Service and System Integration segment of approximately $0.2 million. The decrease in the Systems segment service revenue was due to the absence of royalty revenue recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2013 while for the three months ended June 30, 2012, royalty revenue was $2.0 million. The increase in service revenues in the Service and System Integration segment was due to an increase in the German division, of approximately $0.2 million. The increase in sales volume in Germany was from service revenues of approximately $0.2 million to new customers.

Our sales by geographic area, based on the location to which the products were shipped or services rendered, are as follows:

The increase in Americas revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2013 versus the three months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily the result of the fluctuations described above in the US division of the Service and System Integration segment, wherein sales to customers in the Americas were greater by approximately $3.2 million, while in the Systems segment combined product and service sales to US customers decreased by an aggregate $1.7 million. The decrease in Europe sales was the result of the fluctuations in revenues in the German and UK divisions of the Service and System Integrations segment described above.

The decrease in Asia sales was the result of the decrease in sales to our existing customer that supplies a large Japanese defense program in the Systems segment (see discussion above).

Total cost of sales decreased by approximately $1.9 million when comparing the three months ended June 30, 2013 versus the three months ended June 30, 2012. This decrease in cost of sales was due primarily to the overall decrease in sales as discussed previously, however whereas sales decreased by 15% , cost of sales decreased by 11%. The resulting lower GPM of 20% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 versus 23% for the three months ended June 30, 2012, was primarily attributable to a greater proportion of Systems Segment revenue (15%) for the three months ended June 30, 2012 versus the three months ended June 30, 2013 (3%). Also, within the Systems segment, the GPM was 75% for the three months ended June 30, 2012, versus 33% for the three months ended June 30, 2013. This was because in the prior year quarter, we realized approximately $2.0 million in royalty revenue which carries a 100% GPM, versus no royalty revenue in the current year

quarter. In addition, because of the significantly lower level of sales overall in the system segment for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the dilutive impact to GPM from the fixed portion of cost of sales was greater.

In the Service and System Integration segment, the overall GPM was 20% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 versus 14% for the prior year three-month period. Product GPM in the segment increased from 13% for the three months ended June 30, 2012, to 16% for the three months ended June 30, 2013, while the segment’s service GPM increased from 18% to 31% . The product GPM increase was due to a more favorable product mix in the current year three-month period versus the prior year. The increase in service GPM in the Service and System Integration segment was due primarily to higher utilization of in-house service engineers in providing billable services in Germany and higher TPM revenue in the US.

Engineering and Development Expenses

The following table details our engineering and development expenses by operating segment for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:



	For the three months ended,
	June 30, 2013		% of Total		June 30, 2012		% of Total		$ Decrease			% Decrease
	(Dollar amounts in thousands)
By Operating Segment:

Service and System Integration	—		—		—		—		—			—
Total	$	437	100	%	$	444	100	%	$	(7	)	(2	)%

There was essentially no change in engineering and development expenses as displayed above.

Selling, General and Administrative

The following table details our selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense by operating segment for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:



	For the three months ended,
	June 30, 2013		% of Total		June 30, 2012		% of Total		$ Increase (Decrease)			% Increase (Decrease)
	(Dollar amounts in thousands)
By Operating Segment:
Systems	$	858	21	%	$	1,159	32	%	$	(301	)	(26	)%
Service and System Integration	3,207		79	%	2,421		68	%	786			32	%
Total	$	4,065	100	%	$	3,580	100	%	$	485		14	%

The increase in SG&A expense in the Service & System Integration segment was primarily the result of an increase in commission and other incentive compensation expenses of approximately $0.3 million due to higher revenue and gross profit in the segment and higher salary and fringe expense of approximately $0.4 million due to headcount increases. These increases were primarily within the US division of the segment. SG&A expense decreased in the Systems segment due to lower bonus expense of approximately $0.2 million, because of the lower operating results, and a decrease in pension expense due to the death of the Company's CEO in fiscal 2012.

Other Income/Expenses

The following table details our other income (expense) for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:



	For the three months ended,
	June 30, 2013			June 30, 2012			Increase
	(Amounts in thousands)
Interest expense	$	(21	)	$	(21	)	$	—
Interest income	4			3			1
Foreign exchange gain (loss)	13			(5		)	18
Other income (expense), net	6			(9		)	15
Total other income (expense), net	$	2		$	(32	)	$	34

Other income (expense), net, for the three month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was not significant nor was the change from the prior year three-month period to that of the current year.

Income Taxes

Income Tax Provision

The Company recorded income tax benefit of approximately $0.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, reflecting an effective income tax rate of 28% for the period compared to income tax expense of approximately $0.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, which reflected an effective tax rate of 34%. For the nine months ended June 30, 2013 the Company recorded income tax expense of approximately $0.4 million reflecting an effective income tax rate of 51% versus income tax expense of $0.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2012, which reflected an effective tax rate of 34% .

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we considered our taxable future earnings and the expected timing of the reversal of temporary differences. Accordingly, we have recorded a valuation allowance which reduces the gross deferred tax asset to an amount that we believe will more likely than not be realized. We maintained a substantial valuation allowance against our United Kingdom deferred tax assets as we have experienced cumulative losses and do not have any indication that the operation will be profitable in the future to an extent that will allow us to utilize much of our net operating loss carryforwards. To the extent that actual experience deviates from our assumptions, our projections would be affected and hence our assessment of realizability of our deferred tax assets may change.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary source of liquidity is our cash and cash equivalents, which decreased by $0.3 million to $20.2 million as of June 30, 2013 from $20.5 million as of September 30, 2012. At June 30, 2013, cash equivalents consisted of money market funds which totaled $3.5 million.

Significant uses of cash for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 included a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $2.0 million, expenditures for fixed assets of approximately $0.7 million, an increase in accounts receivable of approximately $0.4 million and payment of dividends of approximately $1.0 million. Significant sources of cash included net income of approximately $0.4 million, collection of officer's life insurance receivable of approximately $2.2 million and reduction in inventories of approximately $1.1 million.

Cash held by our foreign subsidiaries located in Germany and the United Kingdom totaled approximately $9.3 million as of June 30, 2013 and $9.8 million as of September 30, 2012. This cash is included in our total cash and cash equivalents reported above. We consider this cash to be permanently reinvested into these foreign locations because repatriating it would result in unfavorable tax consequences. Consequently, it is not available for activities that would require it to be repatriated to the U.S.

If cash generated from operations is insufficient to satisfy working capital requirements, we may need to access funds through bank loans or other means. There is no assurance that we will be able to raise any such capital on terms acceptable to us, on a timely basis or at all. If we are unable to secure additional financing, we may not be able to complete development or enhancement of products, take advantage of future opportunities, respond to competition or continue to effectively operate our business.

Based on our current plans and business conditions, management believes that the Company’s available cash and cash equivalents, the cash generated from operations and availability on our lines of credit will be sufficient to provide for the Company’s working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2013. Our chief executive officer, our chief financial officer, and other members of our senior management team supervised and participated in this evaluation. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2013, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

During the period covered by this report, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
