NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2009, Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 and Periods January 1 to February 13, 2008 and February 14 to June 30, 2008

(Unaudited)

 

  1. Basis of Presentation

Basis of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of Goodman Global, Inc. (the Company), have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for complete financial statements. However, the information furnished herein reflects all normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ from those estimated. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 as filed with the SEC on March 13, 2009.

The results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, the three months ended June 30, 2008 and periods January 1 to February 13, 2008 and February 14 to June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. Although there is demand for the Company’s products throughout the year, in each of the past three years approximately 57% to 60% of total sales occurred in the second and third quarters of the fiscal year. The Company’s peak production also typically occurs in the second and third quarters of each year.

The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. As the Company’s consolidated financial information is reviewed by the chief decision makers, and the business is managed under one operating and marketing strategy, the Company operates under one reportable segment. Long-lived assets outside the United States have not been significant.

Recent Developments

On February 13, 2008, Chill Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware Corporation formed on October 15, 2007, merged with and into Goodman Global, Inc. as the surviving corporation, now a subsidiary of Chill Holdings, Inc. (Parent), a Delaware corporation formed on October 12, 2007 by affiliates of Hellman & Friedman LLC. This is referred to as the 2008 Acquisition.

The financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the three months ended June 30, 2008, and periods January 1 to February 13, 2008 and February 14 to June 30, 2008 have been presented to reflect the Company prior to the merger (Predecessor) and subsequent to the merger (Successor).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position No. SFAS 141(R)-1, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies” (FSP 141(R)-1), to amend SFAS 141 (revised 2007) “Business Combinations.” FSP 141(R)-1 addresses the initial recognition, measurement and subsequent accounting for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination, and requires that such assets acquired or liabilities assumed be initially recognized at fair value at the acquisition date if fair value can be determined during the measurement period. If the acquisition-date fair value cannot be determined, the asset acquired or liability assumed arising from a contingency is recognized only if certain criteria are met. This statement also requires that a systematic and rational basis for subsequently measuring and accounting for the assets or liabilities be developed depending on their nature. This statement shall be effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is during or after 2010. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements, absent any future material business combinations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets an amendment to FASB Statement No. 140,” to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about the following: a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer

on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. This statement must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company does not anticipate that adoption of this statement will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June, 2009 the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R),” to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities. This statement must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” which designated the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (Codification) as the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied to nongovernmental entities (in addition to guidance issued by the SEC). This statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company anticipates that it will be able to comply with its requirements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In the second quarter of 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (SFAS 165). SFAS 165 sets forth general standards of accounting for and the disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the time of its filing on August 14, 2009, which represents the date the financial statements are issued.

 

  2. Significant Accounting Policies and Balance Sheet Accounts

The Company’s critical accounting policies are included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 as filed on March 13, 2009. The Company believes that there have been no significant changes during the six months ended June 30, 2009 to the critical accounting policies disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the restricted cash pertains to the Company’s extended warranty program and is invested in United States treasury notes and bills.

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for renewals and improvements are capitalized and expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Buildings are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is 39 years. Equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the assets’ remaining useful lives.

Deferred Financing Costs

Debt issuance costs are capitalized and amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the period the related debt is anticipated to be outstanding.

Goodwill

Goodwill is the excess of the cost of an acquired company over the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142), goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount could be impaired. Impairment testing for goodwill is done at the reporting unit

level. An impairment charge generally would be recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the estimated fair market value of the reporting unit. The Company estimates fair value using standard business valuation techniques such as discounted cash flows, industry participant information and reference to comparable business transactions. The discounted cash flow fair value estimates are based on our projected future cash flows and the estimated weighted-average cost of capital of market participants. Management assumptions about expected future cash flows can be affected by changes in industry or market conditions or the rate and extent to which anticipated synergies or cost savings are realized. The estimated weighted-average cost of capital is based on the risk-free interest rate and other factors such as equity risk premiums and the ratio of total debt and equity capital. Based on the results of our annual impairment tests performed in the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company determined that no impairment of our goodwill existed.

In assessing the fair value of our goodwill, the Company must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets. If these estimates or the related assumptions change, the Company may be required to record impairment charges for these assets in the future. The analysis performed in the fiscal 2008 fourth quarter did not indicate an impairment of goodwill and since that time no events or circumstances have occurred that suggest an impairment exists. As of June 30, 2009, there were no indicators noted that would require the Company to re-evaluate its annual impairment test. The Company intends to perform its annual impairment testing in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Identifiable Intangible Assets

The values assigned to amortizable intangible assets are amortized to expense over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for potential impairment. The estimated useful lives are based on an evaluation of the circumstances surrounding each asset, including an evaluation of events that may have occurred that would cause the useful life to be decreased. In the event the useful life would be considered to be shortened, or if the asset’s future value were deemed to be impaired, an appropriate amount would be charged to amortization expense. Future operating results and residual values could therefore reasonably differ from our current estimates and could require a provision for impairment in a future period. Indefinite lived intangible assets are reviewed in accordance with SFAS 142 by comparison of the fair market value with its carrying amount. SFAS 142 requires annual tests for impairment of goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives which the Company intends to perform in the fourth quarter of 2009.

The values assigned to the Company’s identifiable intangible assets were determined using the income approach, whereby the fair value of an asset is based on the present value of its estimated future economic benefits. This approach was considered appropriate, as the inherent value of these intangible assets is their ability to generate current and future cash flows. The key assumption in using this approach is the identification of the revenue streams attributable to these assets based on projected future revenues. Amounts allocated to the identifiable intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, with no residual value, as follows:

In February 2008, the Company issued and sold $500.0 million of 13.50%/14.00% senior subordinated notes due 2016. The senior subordinated notes bear interest at a rate of 13.50% per annum, provided that the Company may, at its option, elect to pay interest in any interest period at a rate of 14.00%, per annum, in which case up to 3.0% per annum may be paid by issuing additional notes. The notes are wholly and unconditionally guaranteed by each subsidiary guarantor.

In April 2009, the Company formed Goodman Global Finance (Delaware) LLC (GGF), a Delaware limited liability company and an unrestricted subsidiary of the Company, that entered into two separate transactions to purchase for $58.9 million (inclusive of $1.9 million in accrued interest) approximately $76.0 million aggregate face value of the Company’s 13.5%/14% senior subordinated notes. The Company recognized a gain of $16.6 million in the second quarter of 2009 as a result of this early extinguishment of long-term debt, after taking into consideration the recognition of $2.4 million of previously unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the $76.0 million of senior subordinated notes. As of June 30, 2009, the $76.0 million in senior subordinated notes were held by GGF.

In February 2008, the Company entered into an $800.0 million term loan credit agreement due 2014 and a $300.0 million revolving credit agreement due 2013, of which $50.0 million was outstanding as of June 30, 2009. The term loan credit agreement has an interest rate of Prime or London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), with a minimum of 3.25% plus applicable

margin, based on certain leverage ratios, which was 3.25% and totaled 6.5% as of June 30, 2009. The revolving credit agreement has an interest rate of Prime or LIBOR, plus applicable margin, which totaled 4.25% as of June 30, 2009. The original issue discount is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the period the debt is anticipated to be outstanding through maturity.

In June 2009, the Company repaid $50.0 million of its revolving credit agreement and in July 2009, the Company made an additional $50.0 million payment to reduce the outstanding balance on the revolving credit agreement to $0. Therefore, the Company reflected the $50.0 million outstanding as of June 30, 2009 as a current obligation.

In July 2008, the Company made a $26.0 million payment on its term loan credit agreement to satisfy its obligation of $2.0 million per quarter for the period beginning July 1, 2008 and ending September 30, 2011. As a result, the Company recognized an expense of $0.8 million of previously unamortized deferred financing fees and $0.9 million of previously unamortized original issue discount that related directly to the amount of the early extinguishment of debt. The next quarterly payment under the term loan credit agreement is due on December 31, 2011.

The Company incurred $45.7 million in loan origination fees and direct loan origination costs, of which $29.4 million was outstanding at June 30, 2009 and is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the period that the debt is anticipated to be outstanding.

The Company had availability under the revolving credit agreement of $216.7 million at June 30, 2009 after taking into consideration outstanding commercial and standby letters of credit issued under the credit facility, which totaled $33.5 million as of June 30, 2009.

Under the term loan credit agreement, the Company is required to satisfy and maintain specified financial ratios and other financial condition tests, including a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum total leverage ratio. In addition, under its revolving credit agreement, the Company is required to satisfy and maintain, in certain circumstances, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. At June 30, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants under its senior term loan credit agreement and revolving credit agreement.

All of the existing U.S. subsidiaries of the Company (other than AsureCare Corp., a Florida corporation, and GGF) and all future restricted U.S. subsidiaries of the Company guarantee its debt obligations. The Company is structured as a holding company and substantially all of its assets and operations are held by its subsidiaries. There are currently no significant restrictions on the ability of the Company to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan. The Company’s and the non-guarantor subsidiaries’ independent assets, revenues, income before taxes, and operating cash flows in total are more than 3% of the consolidated total. As such, separate financial statements of the guarantors are included herein in Note 10 condensed consolidating financial information.

  4. Fair Value Measurements

SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS 157 provides a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date and requires consideration of the Company’s creditworthiness when valuing certain liabilities.

The three-level fair value hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements defined by SFAS 157 is as follows:

 

Level 1

      Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets at the measurement date.

Level 2

      Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets at the measurement date and for the anticipated term of the instrument.

Level 3

      Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The Company’s valuation techniques are applied to all of the assets and liabilities carried at fair value. Currently, the Company’s commodity derivative instruments are carried at fair value under SFAS 157. The fair values are based upon independently sourced market parameters. To ensure that these derivative instruments are recorded at fair value, valuation adjustments may be required to reflect the creditworthiness of either party, which is further discussed in Note 7 Derivatives, and constraints on liquidity. Any such adjustment is not material as of June 30, 2009.

The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2009 (in millions):

On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 161), which establishes, among other things, the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. SFAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk related contingent features in derivative agreements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, which amended FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, and Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require disclosures about fair value of all financial instruments for interim reporting periods. In order to determine the fair value of its debt instruments as of June 30, 2009, the Company considered valuation techniques that included the market, income and liquidation approaches in the analysis of its interest bearing debt. The Company elected to determine the fair value of each tranche of interest bearing debt using the income approach. Based upon this approach, the Company estimates the fair value of its interest bearing debt as follows (in thousands):

  5. Stock Compensation Plans

On February 13, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Parent adopted the 2008 Chill Holdings, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (2008 Plan). The 2008 Plan is a comprehensive incentive compensation plan that permits grants of equity-based compensation awards to employees and consultants of the Parent and its subsidiaries. Awards under the 2008 Plan may be in the form of stock options (either incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options) or other stock-based awards, including restricted stock purchase awards, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights. The maximum number of shares reserved for the grant or settlement of awards under the 2008 Plan is 6,734,923 shares of Parent, subject to adjustment in the event of an extraordinary dividend or other distribution, recapitalization, stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase or share exchange or other similar corporate transaction. Any shares subject to awards which are cancelled, forfeited, reacquired or repurchased before vesting under the 2008 Plan will again be available for grants under the 2008 Plan. In the event of a change in control, Parent’s Compensation Committee will have the discretion to accelerate all outstanding awards, cancel awards for fair value, provide for the issuance of substitute awards and/or provide award holders an opportunity to exercise their awards prior to the occurrence of the change in control transaction.

Through June 30, 2009, the Company has issued under the 2008 Plan (1) 6,295,262 million stock options with an exercise price of approximately $10.00 per share and a weighted average fair market value at the date of grant of $3.44 per share and (2) 301,250 shares of Chill Holdings, Inc. common stock that were sold to employees of the Company at $10.00 per share. A portion of the stock options issued under the 2008 Plan vest based on time in installments though 2013, and a portion vest based on achievement of pre-established EBITDA performance targets in installments through 2012. It is the Company’s belief that the performance shares will vest over the installment period. Approximately 1.0 million stock options issued under the 2008 Plan vested during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

The Company also had 54,188 outstanding stock options under a Predecessor equity plan. Under the terms of the February 13, 2008 merger agreement, these options became fully vested and Parent converted these options to 138,849 fully vested stock options of Chill Holdings, Inc.

The Company accounts for its stock options under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. The Company recognized compensation expense of $1.3 million ($0.8 million net of tax) and $2.5 million ($1.6 million net of tax), respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and $1.3 million ($0.8 million after tax) and $2.0 million ($1.2 million after tax), respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2008 and the period February 14, 2008 to June 30, 2008. The Company recognized $6.4 million ($4.0 million net of tax) in acquisition-related expenses during the period January 1, 2008 to February 13, 2008, when 1.7 million shares vested as a result of the 2008 Acquisition. The Company includes this expense in selling, general and administrative in the accompanying statement of income.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton model using assumptions as discussed herein. The expected volatility of 30%-32% at the grant date was based mainly on the volatility of the Company’s competitors. The expected term of the options granted of 7 years is based on the time period the options are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate of between 2.8% and 3.9% is based on the U.S. Treasury rate of a note with the expected maturity of the expected term of the options. The Company has not considered a dividend payment in its calculation and believes that forfeitures will not be significant.

As of June 30, 2009, the total compensation cost related to nonvested awards not yet recognized in the Company’s statements of income is $14.5 million. This amount will be recognized on a weighted average period of 3.0 years.

  7. Derivatives

The Company uses derivative instruments to manage risks related to interest rates and the purchases of commodities. The Company evaluates each derivative instrument to determine whether it qualifies for hedge accounting treatment under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.

Interest Rate Risks

Certain of the Company’s long-term obligations are subject to interest rate risks. To reduce the risk associated with fluctuations in the interest rate of its floating rate debt, the Company entered into fixed rate contracts in March 2009 with a notional amount of $500.0 million for up to 24 months. The Company elected not to designate the interest rate derivatives as cash flow hedges. Therefore, gains and losses from changes in the fair values of derivatives that are not designated as hedges are recognized in other (income) expense.

Commodity Derivatives

The Company uses financial instruments to manage market risk from changes in commodity prices and selectively hedges anticipated transactions that are subject to commodity price exposure, primarily using commodity contracts relating to raw materials used in its production process. The Company has open positions for copper and aluminum in notional amounts of 16.5 million pounds and 50.3 million pounds, respectively, to fix the purchase price, and thereby substantially reduce the variability of its purchase price for these commodities. The swaps, which expire at various dates through 2011, have been designated as cash flow hedges.

For these qualifying cash flow hedges, changes in the fair market value of these hedge instruments are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Assuming commodity prices remain constant, $24.5 million of derivative losses are expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months. The Company has assessed the effectiveness of the transactions that receive hedge accounting treatment and any ineffectiveness would be recorded in other (income) expense.

(1) As of June 30, 2009, the Company had a balance of $21.0 million ($12.9 million net of tax) related to its March 2009 terminated commodity swaps. The Company determined that the settled derivatives remained effective and that the derivative loss related to the settled positions would remain in other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into cost of sales in July 2009 to December 2009 when the end products are sold to the Company’s customers.

Contingent Features

The Company’s derivative instruments contain provisions that require the counterparties’ debt to maintain an investment grade rating. If the rating of the debt were to fall below investment grade, it would be in violation of these provisions which would render the hedging relationship ineffective. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk related contingent features that are in an asset position on June 30, 2009 was $7.2 million. As of June 30, 2009, the counterparties were at or above an acceptable investment grade rating.

  8. Employee Benefit Plans

The Company sponsors a defined benefit plan, which covers union employees hired on or before December 14, 2002 who have both attained age 21 and completed one year of service. Benefits are provided at stated amounts based on years of service, as defined by the plan. Benefits vest after completion of five years of service. The Company’s funding policy is to make contributions in amounts adequate to fund the benefits to be provided. Plan assets consist primarily of equity and fixed-income securities.

The Company made a $0.3 million contribution to the plan during the second quarter of 2009. The Company will make contributions to the plan during the remainder of 2009 of approximately $0.6 million.

  9. Contingent Liabilities

As part of the equity contribution associated with the sale of the Amana Appliance business in July 2001, the Company agreed to indemnify Maytag for certain potential product liability claims. In light of these potential liabilities, the Company has purchased insurance that the Company expects will shield it from incurring material costs to such potential claims.

Pursuant to a March 15, 2001 Consent Order with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), our subsidiary, Goodman Distribution Southeast, Inc. (GDI Southeast) (formerly Pioneer Metals Inc.) is continuing to investigate and pursue, under FDEP oversight, the delineation of groundwater contamination at and around the GDI Southeast facility in Fort Pierce, Florida. Remediation has not begun. The contamination was discovered through environmental assessments conducted in connection with a Company subsidiary’s acquisition of the Fort Pierce facility in 2000 and was reported to FDEP, giving rise to the Consent Order.

The ultimate cost for the investigation, remediation and monitoring of the site cannot be predicted with certainty due to the variables relating to the contamination and the appropriate remediation methodology, the evolving nature of remediation technologies and governmental regulations and the inability to determine the extent to which contribution will be available from other parties. All of these factors are taken into account to the extent possible in estimating potential liability. A reserve appropriate for the probable remediation costs, which are reasonably susceptible to estimation, has been established.

Based on analyses of currently available information, it is probable that costs associated with the site will be $0.5 million. We reserved approximately $0.5 million as of June 30, 2009 in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, although it is possible that costs could exceed this amount by up to approximately $2.7 million. Management believes any liability arising from potential environmental obligations is not likely to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity or financial position as such obligations could be satisfied over a period of years. Nevertheless, future developments could require material changes in the recorded reserve amount.

The Company believes this contamination predated GDI Southeast’s involvement with the Fort Pierce facility and GDI Southeast’s operation at this location has not caused or contributed to the contamination. Accordingly, the Company is pursuing litigation against former owners of the Fort Pierce facility in an attempt to recover its costs. At this time, we cannot estimate probable recoveries from this litigation.

The Company is party to a number of other pending legal and administrative proceedings and is subject to various regulatory and compliance obligations. The Company believes that these proceedings and obligations will not have a materially adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. To the extent required, the Company

has established reserves that it believes to be adequate based on current evaluations and its experience in these types of matters. Nevertheless, an unexpected outcome in any such proceeding could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations in the period in which it occurs. Moreover, future adverse developments could require material changes in the recorded reserve amounts.

 

  10. Condensed consolidating financial information

As discussed in Note 3, all of the existing U.S. subsidiaries of the Company (other than AsureCare Corp. and GGF) and all future restricted U.S. subsidiaries of the Company guarantee the Company’s debt obligations. The Company is structured as a holding company and substantially all of its assets and operations are held by its subsidiaries. The following information presents the condensed consolidating balance sheets as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the condensed consolidating statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 and the condensed consolidating cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 of (a) the “Guarantors”, Goodman Global, Inc., and all of the existing U.S. subsidiaries of the Company (other than AsureCare Corp. and GGF), (b) the “Non-Guarantors”, AsureCare Corp., Goodman Canada, L.L.C. and GGF, and includes eliminating entries and the Company on a consolidated basis. For comparability purposes, the Predecessor period of January 1 to February 13, 2008 and the Successor period from February 14 to June 30, 2008 were combined for this presentation. (All amounts are in thousands).

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

The following discussion and analysis provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes that are included herein and the consolidated financial statements and notes and the related Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 13, 2009.

Overview

We manufacture and market an extensive line of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) products primarily under the Goodman®, Amana® and Quietflex® brands for the residential and light commercial markets primarily in the United States and Canada, and believe that we are the second largest domestic manufacturer of residential and light commercial heating and air conditioning products based on unit sales. Founded in 1975 as a manufacturer of flexible duct, we expanded into the broader HVAC manufacturing market in 1982. Since then, we have expanded our product offerings and maintained our core competency of manufacturing high-quality products at low costs. Our growth and success can be attributed to our strategy of providing a quality, competitively priced product that is designed to be reliable and easy-to-install.

On February 13, 2008, Chill Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware Corporation formed on October 15, 2007, merged with and into Goodman Global, Inc. as the surviving corporation, now a subsidiary of Chill Holdings, Inc. (Parent), a Delaware corporation formed on October 12, 2007 by affiliates of Hellman & Friedman LLC. We refer to this merger as the 2008 Acquisition.

Markets and Sales Channels

Our products are distributed through over 900 distribution points across North America. Our customer relationships include independent distributors, installing contractors or “dealers,” national homebuilders and other national accounts. We sell to dealers primarily through our network of independent distributors and company-operated distribution centers. We sell to some of our independent distribution channel under inventory consignment arrangements. We focus the majority of our marketing on dealers who install residential and light commercial HVAC products. We believe that the dealer is the key participant in a homeowner’s purchasing decision, as the dealer is the primary contact for the end user. Given the strategic importance of the dealer, we remain committed to enhancing profitability for this segment of the distribution chain while allowing our distributors to achieve their own profit goals. We believe the ongoing focus on the dealer creates loyalty and mutually beneficial relationships between distributors, dealers and us.

Weather, Seasonality and Business Mix

Weather patterns have historically impacted the demand for HVAC products. For example, hot weather in the spring causes existing older units to fail earlier in the cooling season, driving customers to accelerate replacement of a unit, which might otherwise be deferred in the case of a late season failure. Similarly, unseasonably mild weather diminishes customer demand for both commercial and residential HVAC replacement and repairs. Weather also impacts installation during periods of inclement weather as fewer units are installed due to dealers being delayed or forced to suspend operations.

Although there is demand for our products throughout the year, in each of the past three years approximately 57% to 60% of our total sales occurred in the second and third quarters of the fiscal year. Our peak production also typically occurs in the second and third quarters of the fiscal year.

We believe approximately 15-20% of our sales are associated with residential new construction, with the balance attributable to repair, retrofitting and replacement units. With the current downturn in residential new construction activity, we are seeing a decline in the volume of products we sell into this market.

Costs

Most of our products are manufactured and assembled at facilities in Texas, Tennessee, Florida, Pennsylvania and Arizona. The principal elements of cost of goods sold in our manufacturing operations are component parts, raw materials, factory overhead, labor, transportation costs and warranty. The principal component parts, which, depending on the product, can approach up to 41% of our cost of goods sold, are compressors and motors. We believe that we have good relationships with quality component suppliers. The principal raw materials used in our processes are steel, copper and aluminum. In 2008, we spent over $300.0 million on these raw materials and their cost variability can have a material impact on our results of operations. Shipping and handling costs associated with sales are recorded at the time of the sale. Warranty expense, which is also recorded at the time of sale, is estimated based on historical trends such as incident rates, replacement costs and other factors.

Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist of costs incurred to support our marketing, distribution, engineering, information systems, human resources, finance, purchasing, risk management, legal and tax functions.

Depreciation expense is primarily impacted by capital expenditure levels. Equipment is depreciated on a straight line basis over the assets’ remaining useful lives.

Interest expense, net consists of interest expense and interest income. In addition, interest expense includes the amortization of the financing costs associated with the 2008 Acquisition. In the six months ended June 30, 2008, interest expense included a $49.8 million charge related to the retirement of our predecessor company’s outstanding debt.

Other income, net consists of gains on the repurchase of long-term obligations, ineffectiveness related to hedge accounting of our commodity swaps, gains or losses from foreign currency translations and miscellaneous income or expenses.

Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rates include a federal statutory rate of 35% and can differ for periods presented as a result of certain items, such as state and local taxes, non-deductible expenses and the domestic production activities deduction.

At June 30, 2009, we had a valuation allowance of $3.4 million against certain net operating loss carry forwards. As of June 30, 2009, we had net deferred tax liabilities of $120.0 million primarily related to the non-deductibility of the step-up in basis of the assets to fair value in accordance with purchase accounting that related to the 2008 Acquisition and other prior events.

We adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48) effective January 1, 2007. FIN 48 requires significant judgment in determining what constitutes an individual tax position as well as assessing the outcome of each tax position. We consider many factors when evaluating and estimating our tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes. Changes in judgment as to recognition or measurement of tax positions can materially affect the estimate of the effective tax rate and, consequently, affect our operating results. The accounting treatment for recorded tax assets associated with our tax positions reflect our judgment that it is more likely than not that our positions will be respected and the recorded assets will be realized. However, if such positions are challenged, then, to the extent they are not sustained, the expected benefits of the recorded assets and tax positions will not be fully realized.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Many of the estimates require us to make significant judgments and assumptions. Actual results could differ from our estimates and could have a significant impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows. We consider the estimates used to account for warranty liabilities, income taxes, self-insurance reserves and contingencies, rebates and the impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill as our most significant judgments.

We base many of our assumptions on our historical experience, recent trends and forecasts. We develop our forecasts based upon current and historical operating performance, expected industry and market trends and expected overall economic conditions. Our assumptions about future experience, cash flows and profitability require significant judgment since actual results have fluctuated in the past and are expected to continue to do so.

Our critical accounting policies are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 as filed with the SEC on March 13, 2009. We believe that there have been no significant changes during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 to the critical accounting policies disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2009 Compared to June 30, 2008

Sales, net. Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were $583.8 million, a $4.6 million decrease from $588.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Sales volume for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was 6.1% lower than the same period in the previous year, primarily as a result of the declines in the residential new construction market and the overall downturn in the economy. The decline in sales volume was partially offset by a 4.0% increase related to a favorable product mix, including the continued shift to higher priced, higher SEER cooling products, and 1.3% from previously implemented price increases.

Cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $395.5 million, a $56.5 million decrease from $452.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was negatively affected by a $24.0 million purchase accounting treatment of the step-up in the basis of inventory related to the 2008 Acquisition. Excluding the effect of the amortization of the inventory step-up, cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased from 72.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 to 67.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2009. This decrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was due to cost-reducing product designs, a reduction in certain raw material costs and the shift in product mix to higher margin products.

Selling, general and administrative expense. Selling, general and administrative expense was $61.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, a $2.7 million increase from $58.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and related primarily to increases in payroll related expenses. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 10.5% and 10.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $11.9 million, a $1.1 million decrease from $13.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease was the result of a certain group of assets that were assigned a one year life on the date of the 2008 Acquisition and became fully depreciated in the first quarter of 2009.

Operating profit. Operating profit for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $114.8 million, a $50.4 million increase from a $64.4 million reported for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The operating profit for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was negatively impacted by the $24.0 million amortization of the inventory step-up discussed above. Excluding the effect of the inventory step-up, operating profit increased $26.3 million primarily due to cost-reducing product designs, a reduction in certain raw material costs and the shift in product mix to higher margin products.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net for the three months ended June 30, 2009, was $32.2 million, a decrease of $5.9 million from $38.1 million reported for the three months ended June 30, 2008. This decrease was primarily the result of having less debt outstanding and lower interest rates on our term loan and revolving credit agreements in the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008. Our outstanding debt was $1,225.0 million at June 30, 2009 as compared to $1,348.9 million at June 30, 2008.

Other (income) expense, net. Other income for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $17.6 million, a net change of $17.3 million from $0.3 million reported for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The change in other (income) expense, net is primarily due to the recognition in the three months ended June 30, 2009 of $16.6 million gain related to the repurchase of senior subordinated notes, $0.4 million gain related to hedge ineffectiveness and $0.5 million in foreign currency gains.

Provision for income taxes. The income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009, was $39.1 million, an increase of $29.7 million compared to $9.4 million for the same period in 2008. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008 was 39.0%, a 3.8% increase from the effective tax rate of 35.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The difference was primarily the result of the estimated tax benefit from the domestic production activities deduction in the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 Compared to June 30, 2008

Sales, net. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $902.0 million, a $51.2 million decrease from $953.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Sales volume for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was 9.7% lower than the same period in the previous year, primarily as a result of the declines in the residential new construction market and the overall downturn in the economy. The decline in sales volume was partially offset by a 3.2% increase related to a favorable product mix, including the continued shift to higher priced, higher SEER cooling products and 1.1% in price increases.

Cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $641.2 million, a $116.2 million decrease from $757.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was negatively affected by a $48.0 million purchase accounting treatment of the step-up in the basis of inventory related to the 2008 Acquisition. Excluding the effect of the amortization of the inventory step-up, cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased from 74.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 to 71.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2009. This decrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was due to cost-reducing product designs, a reduction in certain raw material costs and the shift in product mix to higher margin products.

Selling, general and administrative expense. Selling, general and administrative expense was $111.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, a $2.7 million increase from $108.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and related primarily to payroll-related expenses. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 12.4% and 11.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Acquisition-related expenses. We incurred $42.9 million in transaction-related expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2008 as a result of the 2008 Acquisition.

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense was $24.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, a $0.6 million increase from $23.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. A $1.3 million increase in amortization expense related to the 2008 Acquisition was partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in depreciation related to fully depreciated assets.

Operating profit (loss). Operating profit for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $124.9 million, a $104.6 million increase from a $20.3 million operating profit reported for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The operating profit for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was negatively impacted by the $48.0 million amortization of the inventory step-up and the $42.9 million transaction related expenses. Excluding the effect of the inventory step-up and the transaction related expenses, operating profit increased $13.7 million, primarily due to cost-reducing product designs, a reduction in certain raw material costs and the shift in product mix to higher margin products.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $70.3 million, a decrease of $44.4 million from $114.7 million reported for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Interest expense, net for the six months ended June 30, 2008 included a $49.8 million charge related to the retirement of our predecessor company’s outstanding debt. Excluding the charge related to the extinguishment of predecessor company debt, interest expense increased by approximately $5.4 million. The 2008 Acquisition debt was issued in mid-February 2008 and, on a comparative basis, was outstanding for a longer period in 2009. This was partially offset by an April 2009 reduction in the outstanding amount of our senior notes and a 2009 reduction the interest rates of our term loan and revolving credit agreements. Our outstanding debt was $1,225.0 million at June 30, 2009 as compared to $1,348.9 million at June 30, 2008.

Other (income) expense, net. Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $17.1 million, a net change of $16.3 million from $0.8 million in other income reported for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The change in other (income) expense, net is primarily due to the recognition in the six months ended June 30, 2009 of $16.6 million gain related to the repurchase of our senior subordinated notes and $0.7 million in foreign currency gains, partially offset by $0.8 million related to hedge ineffectiveness.

Provision for income taxes. The income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $28.0 million, an increase of $55.8 million compared to an income tax benefit of $27.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was 39.0%, a 9.4% increase from the effective tax rate of 29.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The difference was primarily the result of non-deductible transaction costs in the six months ended June 30, 2008 related to the 2008 Acquisition.

Liquidity and Capital Resources and Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2009, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $57.6 million, working capital of $358.0 million and $216.7 million of availability under our revolving credit agreement.

At June 30, 2009, we had $1,225.0 million of net indebtedness outstanding that included $424.0 million of senior subordinated notes, $772.0 million related to our term loan credit agreement and $50.0 million related to our revolving credit agreement. Outstanding commercial and standby letters of credit issued under the credit facility totaled $33.5 million as of June 30, 2009.

In June 2009, we repaid $50.0 million of our outstanding revolving credit agreement, and in July 2009, we made an additional $50 million payment to reduce the outstanding balance of our revolving credit agreement to $0. In April 2009, in two separate transactions, we purchased for $58.9 million (inclusive of $1.9 million in accrued interest) approximately $76.0 million aggregate face value of our 13.5%/14% senior subordinated notes. We recognized a gain of $16.6 million as a result of the early extinguishment of debt. The repurchased notes are currently held by Goodman Global Finance (Delaware) LLC, an unrestricted subsidiary of Goodman Global, Inc. In July 2008, we made a prepayment of $26.0 million on our term loan credit agreement. The next payment required on our long-term debt obligations is a $2.0 million quarterly payment on our term loan credit agreement due December 2011.

We anticipate paying approximately $115.0 million in interest expense in 2009 related to our outstanding debt. At June 30, 2009, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under our term loan credit agreement and revolving credit agreement.

We have funded, and expect to continue to fund, operations through cash flows generated by operating activities and borrowings under our revolving credit agreement. We also expect that ongoing requirements for debt service and capital expenditures will be funded from these sources.

Based on our current level of operations, we believe that cash flow from operations and available cash, together with available borrowings under our revolving credit agreement, will be adequate to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity needs over the next 12 to 24 months. Our future liquidity requirements will be for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service and general corporate purposes. Our ability to meet our working capital and debt service requirements, however, is subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. If we are not able to meet such requirements, we may be required to seek additional financing. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing from other sources on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

From time to time, we may pursue acquisitions, but the timing, size or success of any acquisition effort and the related potential capital commitments cannot be predicted. We expect to fund any future acquisitions primarily with cash flow from operations and borrowings, including borrowing from amounts available under our revolving credit agreement or through new debt issuances. We may also issue additional equity either directly or in connection with any such acquisitions. There can be no assurance that acquisition funds will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

We and our subsidiaries, affiliates or significant stockholders may from time to time, in our or their sole discretion, continue to purchase, repay, redeem or retire any of our outstanding debt or equity securities in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise. However, we have no formal plan of doing so at this time.

Operating activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, cash provided by operations was $32.2 million compared to $2.8 million provided by operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Cash provided by operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 consisted primarily of net operating income of $43.8 million, increased by $24.3 million in depreciation and amortization and a $9.7 million change in deferred taxes. This was partially offset by a $16.6 million gain on the repurchase of $76.0 million in senior notes and a $43.1 million net decrease that was primarily related to the changes in

working capital consistent with the seasonality of our business. Cash from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was impacted by approximately $78.6 million of expenses related to the 2008 Acquisition. Additionally, cash from operations decreased due to higher interest expense associated with debt incurred in connection with the 2008 Acquisition and a net decrease that was primarily related to the changes in working capital consistent with the seasonality of our business.

Investing activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, cash used in investing activities was $11.7 million compared to $1,946.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The 2009 usage was primarily due to $11.7 million in purchases of property, plant and equipment. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, cash usage was primarily due to $1,940.6 million of cash related to the 2008 Acquisition.

Financing activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, cash used in financing activities was $107.0 million compared to $1,955.0 million of cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008. During 2009, we reduced our outstanding revolving credit facility by $50.0 million and, as previously discussed, repurchased $76.0 million of our outstanding senior notes for $57.0 million (exclusive of accrued interest). For the six months ended June 30, 2008, we extinguished our predecessor company debt and received proceeds of $1,373.0 million from long-term debt, net of original issue discount, and $1,278.2 million in equity contributions in connection with the 2008 Acquisition. In addition, for the six months ended June 30, 2008, we repaid $13.5 million in borrowings under our revolving credit facility and incurred deferred financing costs of $45.4 million and equity issuance costs of $8.0 million associated with the 2008 Acquisition.

Cautionary Note on Forward Looking Statements

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. In particular, statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance or other statements that are not historical statements that are contained in this quarterly report under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” are forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include statements such as the statement of our belief that we have sufficient liquidity to fund our business operations for at least the next twelve months. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate” and other expressions that are predictions of or indicate future events and trends and that do not relate to historical matters identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations about future events. While we believe these expectations are reasonable, these forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. Our actual results may differ materially from those suggested by these forward-looking statements for various reasons, including those discussed in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K under the heading “Risk Factors” as amended or supplemented by the information, if any, in Part II, Item 1A below. Given these risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Some of the key factors that could cause actual results to differ from our expectations are:

 

   

general economic conditions;

 

   

changes in weather patterns and seasonal fluctuations;

 

   

changes in governmental regulation and policy and effects on our business from our compliance with regulations;

 

   

changes in customer demand;

 

   

the maturation of our new company-operated distribution centers;

 

   

increased competition and technological and product changes and advances;

 

   

increases in the cost of raw materials and components;

 

   

our relations with our independent distributors;

 

   

damage or injury caused by our products;

 

   

increases in interest rates; and

 

   

access by us or our customers to credit and financing.

The forward-looking statements included in this quarterly report are made only as of the date hereof. We do not undertake and specifically decline obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or developments, changed circumstances or otherwise.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks, which arise during the normal course of business from changes in interest rates, commodity prices and foreign exchange rates.

We are subject to interest rate and related cash flow risk in connection with borrowings under our term loan and revolving credit facility which totaled $822.0 million at June 30, 2009. To reduce the risk associated with fluctuations in the interest rate of our floating rate debt: (1) in May 2008, we entered into a two-year interest rate cap with a notional amount of $150.0 million that matures in May 2010; (2) in March 2009, we entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $200.0 million which matures in March 2010; and (3) in March 2009, we entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $300.0 million which matures in March 2011.

Our results of operations can be affected by changes in interest rates due to variable interest rates on our term loan credit agreement and revolving credit agreement. The annual impact of a 1% increase or decrease in overall interest rates would change our results of operations by $6.3 million ($3.8 million, net of tax) after taking into consideration the impact of the interest rate swaps.

We are subject to price risk as it relates to our principal raw materials: copper, aluminum and steel. Cost variability of raw materials can have a material impact on our results of operations. To enhance stability in the cost of major raw material commodities, such as copper and aluminum used in the manufacturing process, we have entered and may continue to enter into commodity derivative arrangements. Maturity dates of the contracts are scheduled to coincide with market purchases of the commodity. Cash proceeds or payments between the derivative counter-party and us at maturity of the contracts are recognized as an adjustment to the cost of the commodity purchased, to the extent the hedge is effective. Charges or credits resulting from ineffective hedges are recognized in income immediately. We have entered into swaps for a portion of our commodity supply which expire through December 31, 2011 which had a net fair value as an asset of $7.1 million ($4.4 million net of tax) as of June 30, 2009. A 10% change in the price of commodities hedged would change the fair value of the hedge contracts by approximately $5.9 million ($3.6 million, net of tax) as of June 30, 2009.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Exchange Act reports 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 our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer do not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefit of controls must be considered relative to their cost. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all of our control issues and all instances of fraud, if any. The design of any system of controls also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving our stated goals under all potential future conditions.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2009, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
