COMMERCIAL VEHICLE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc. (and its subsidiaries) is a leading supplier of a full range of cab related products and systems for the global commercial vehicle market, including the medium- and heavy-duty truck (“MD/HD Truck”) market, the medium- and heavy-duty construction vehicle market, and the bus, agriculture, military, specialty transportation, mining, industrial equipment and off-road recreational markets.  References herein to the "Company", "we", "our", or "us" refer to Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

We have manufacturing operations in the United States, Mexico, United Kingdom, Czech Republic, Ukraine, China, India and Australia. Our products are primarily sold in North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region.
Our products include seats and seating systems (“Seats”); trim systems and components (“Trim”); cab structures, sleeper boxes, body panels and structural components; mirrors, wipers and controls; and electronic wire harness and panel assemblies designed for applications primarily in commercial vehicles.

We are differentiated from automotive industry suppliers by our ability to manufacture low volume, customized products on a sequenced basis to meet the requirements of our customers. We believe our products are used by a majority of the North American MD/HD Truck and certain leading global construction and agriculture original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), which we believe creates an opportunity to cross-sell our products.

We have prepared the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The information furnished in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and statements of financial position for the interim periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. We believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when read in conjunction with our fiscal 2016 consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 9, 2017. Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts are in thousands, except share and per share amounts. Certain immaterial reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to current year presentation. 

SEGMENTS

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that are evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, which is our President and Chief Executive Officer. The Company has two reportable segments: the Global Truck and Bus Segment (“GTB Segment”) and the Global Construction and Agriculture Segment (“GCA Segment”). Each of these segments consists of a number of manufacturing facilities. Certain of our facilities manufacture and sell products through both of our segments. Each manufacturing facility that sells products through both segments is reflected in the financial results of the segment that has the greatest amount of sales from that manufacturing facility. Our segments are more specifically described below.

The GTB Segment manufactures and sells the following products:
 
Seats, Trim, sleeper boxes, cab structures, structural components and body panels. These products are sold primarily to the MD/HD Truck markets in North America;
Seats to the truck and bus markets in Asia-Pacific and Europe;
mirrors and wiper systems to the truck, bus, agriculture, construction, rail and military markets in North America;
Trim to the recreational and specialty vehicle markets in North America; and
aftermarket seats and components in North America.

The GCA Segment manufactures and sells the following products:
 

6


electronic wire harness assemblies and Seats for construction, agricultural, industrial, automotive, mining and military industries in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific;
Seats to the truck and bus markets in Asia-Pacific and Europe;
wiper systems to the construction and agriculture markets in Europe;
office seating in Europe and Asia-Pacific; and
aftermarket seats and components in Europe and Asia-Pacific.
Corporate expenses consist of certain overhead and shared costs that are not directly attributable to the operations of a segment. For purposes of business segment performance measurement, some of these costs that are for the benefit of the operations are allocated based on a combination of methodologies. The costs that are not allocated to a segment are considered stewardship costs and remain at corporate in our segment reporting.
2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2017-09, "Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting". ASU 2017-09 provides clarity of accounting for modifications of share-based awards. The Company does not anticipate this ASU will have a material impact on share-based compensation. ASU 2017-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, "Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost". ASU 2017-07 requires employers to report service costs in the same line item as compensation costs arising from services rendered by associated employees during the period. The Company does not anticipate this ASU to have a material impact on its pension disclosures. ASU 2017-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment". ASU 2017-04 provides simplification for the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Annual impairment tests should be completed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount and impairment should not exceed the goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. Additionally, this ASU eliminated the requirement to assess reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. The Company anticipates this ASU to simplify a component of its goodwill assessment. The Company does not anticipate an impact to its overall valuation of goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business". ASU 2017-01 provides additional guidance to clarify acquisition transactions and whether they should be accounted for as an acquisition of a business or assets. This ASU will only impact the Company to the extent we execute a business combination. ASU 2017-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017.
Revenue Recognition Guidance
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, followed by a series of standards and clarification, including: ASU No. 2016-08, "Principal Versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)", ASU No. 2016-10, "Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing" and ASU No. 2016-12, "Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients". The ASUs supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification.
The mandatory adoption date of each of the revenue recognition ASUs referenced above is January 1, 2018. With respect to each of the elements of revenue recognition guidance above, the Company is in the process of assessing potential changes in revenue recognition for certain revenue streams. More specifically, the Company is in the process of assessing our customer arrangements, identifying contractual provisions that may result in a change in the timing or the amount of revenue recognized pursuant to current guidance, as well as assessing the enhanced disclosure requirements of the new guidance. Under current guidance, we typically recognize revenue when products are shipped and risk of loss has transferred to the customer. Under the new guidance, the customized nature of some of our products and provisions of some of our customer contracts provide us with an enforceable right to payment that may require us to recognize revenue prior to the product being shipped to the customer. We have assessed certain pricing provisions contained in some of our customer contracts to determine if they represent a material right to the customer. We are evaluating how the new guidance may impact our accounting for customer owned tooling, engineering and design services, and pre-production costs. Finally, we are assessing standard warranties to determine if they represent a material right to the customer. We do not anticipate that the new guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations,

7


equity, or cash flows. As management assesses its various revenue streams, we may establish revised accounting policies and internal control procedures and will measure and disclose the accounting impact, if any. The new guidance permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We will apply the cumulative effect transition method. We will not adopt the new guidance early.
Lease Accounting Guidance
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)". ASU 2016-02 is intended to increase transparency and comparability among companies by recognizing lease assets and liabilities and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is assessing the impact of this pronouncement and anticipates that it will impact the presentation of our lease assets and liabilities and associated disclosures by the recognition of lease assets and liabilities that were not included in the balance sheet under existing accounting guidance. The Company is in the process of performing its initial assessment of lease arrangements, including facility leases and machinery and equipment leases. The Company's lease terms are not generally complex in nature. The Company will update its accounting policies as we complete our assessment of leases. The Company will also review other arrangements which could contain embedded lease arrangements to be considered under the revised guidance. The Company will determine the impact of the new guidance on its current lease arrangements that are expected to remain in place during 2019 and beyond.

3. Fair Value Measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.
Our financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and our revolving credit facility. The carrying value of these instruments approximates fair value as a result of the short duration of such instruments or due to the variability of interest cost associated with such instruments.
Our derivative assets and liabilities represent foreign exchange contracts and an interest rate swap contract that are measured at fair value using observable market inputs. Based on these inputs, the derivative assets and liabilities are classified as Level 2. The fair values of our derivative assets and liabilities are categorized as follows:

The fair value of the assets was measured based on an estimated purchase price for the assets determined through discussions with third parties that began in the first quarter of 2017.
There were no other fair value measurements of our long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets measured on a non-recurring basis as of September 30, 2017.
4. Stockholders’ Equity
Common Stock — Our authorized capital stock consists of 60,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.01 per share; of which, 29,876,953 shares were issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2017 and 29,871,354 were issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2016.
Preferred Stock — Our authorized capital stock also consists of 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.01 per share; no preferred shares were outstanding as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
Earnings Per Share — Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share, and all other diluted per share amounts presented, is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding during the period as determined by the Treasury Stock Method. Potential common shares are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation when dilutive. Diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 includes the effects of potential common shares issuable upon the vesting of restricted stock, when dilutive.

6. Performance Awards
Awards, defined as cash, shares or other awards, may be granted to employees under the Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 EIP”). The award is earned and payable based upon the Company’s relative Total Shareholder Return in terms of ranking as compared to the Peer Group over a three-year period (the “Performance Period”). Total Shareholder Return is determined by the percentage change in value (positive or negative) over the applicable measurement period as measured by dividing (A) the sum of (I) the cumulative value of dividends and other distributions paid on the Common Stock for the applicable measurement period, and (II) the difference (positive or negative) between each such company’s starting stock price and ending stock price, by (B) the starting stock price. The award is to be paid out at the end of the Performance Period in cash only if the employee is employed through the end of the Performance Period. If the employee is not employed during the entire Performance Period, the award will be forfeited. These grants are accounted for as cash settlement awards for which the fair value of the award fluctuates based on the change in Total Shareholder Return in relation to the Peer Group. The following table summarizes performance awards granted under the 2014 EIP in November 2016, 2015 and 2014:

Compensation (income) and expense was recognized totaling $(0.3) million and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Compensation expense totaling $0.4 million was recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. Unrecognized compensation expense was $1.4 million and $1.2 million as of September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
7. Accounts Receivable
Trade accounts receivable are stated at current value less an allowance for doubtful accounts, which approximates fair value. This allowance is estimated based primarily on management’s evaluation of specific balances as the balances become past due, the financial condition of our customers and our historical experience with write-offs. If not reserved through specific identification procedures, our general policy for potentially uncollectible accounts is to reserve at a certain percentage based upon the aging categories of accounts receivable and our historical experience with write-offs. Past due status is based upon the due date of the original amounts outstanding. When items are ultimately deemed uncollectible they are charged off against the reserve previously established in the allowance for doubtful accounts.
8. Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) cost or market. Cost includes applicable material, labor and overhead. Inventories consisted of the following:

Inventories on-hand are regularly reviewed and, when necessary, provisions for excess and obsolete inventory are recorded based primarily on our estimated production requirements which reflect expected market volumes. Excess and obsolete provisions may vary by product depending upon future potential use of the product.
9. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. We review goodwill for impairment annually, initially utilizing a qualitative assessment, in the second fiscal quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Our goodwill is attributable to the GTB Segment.
We performed a Step One fair value assessment of our reporting units as of May 31, 2017. Implied fair value of goodwill was determined by utilizing the income approach. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental in nature and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions include revenue growth rates and operating margins used to calculate projected future cash flows, risk-adjusted discount rates, future economic and market conditions and determination of appropriate market comparables. We base our fair value estimates on assumptions we believe to be reasonable but that are inherently uncertain. Based on our fair value assessment of each of the reporting units, the fair value exceeded the carrying value of goodwill.
We review definite-lived intangible assets, including trademarks, tradenames and customer relationships, for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the estimated undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of such assets, we recognize an impairment loss in an amount necessary to write down the assets to fair value as estimated from expected future discounted cash flows. Estimating the fair value of these assets is judgmental in nature and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. We base our fair value estimates on assumptions we believe to be reasonable, but that are inherently uncertain. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of the asset.
The changes in the carrying amounts of goodwill are as follows:

10. Commitments and Contingencies
Warranty — We are subject to warranty claims for products that fail to perform as expected due to design or manufacturing deficiencies. Customers generally require their outside suppliers to guarantee or warrant their products and bear the cost of repair or replacement of such products. Depending on the terms under which we supply products to our customers, a customer may hold us responsible for some or all of the repair or replacement costs of defective products when the product supplied did not perform as represented. Our policy is to reserve for estimated future customer warranty costs based on historical trends and current economic factors.

Leases — We lease office, warehouse and manufacturing space and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating lease agreements that generally require us to pay maintenance, insurance, taxes and other expenses in addition to annual rental fees. The anticipated future lease costs are based in part on certain assumptions and we monitor these costs to determine if the estimates need to be revised in the future. As of September 30, 2017, our equipment leases did not provide for any material guarantee of a specified portion of residual values.
Litigation — We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business, including but not limited to workers' compensation claims, OSHA investigations, employment disputes, service provider disputes, intellectual property disputes, and those arising out of alleged defects, breach of contracts, product warranties and environmental matters.
Management believes that the Company maintains adequate insurance or that we have established reserves for issues that are probable and estimable in amounts that are adequate to cover reasonable adverse judgments not covered by insurance. Based upon the information available to management and discussions with legal counsel, it is the opinion of management that the ultimate outcome of the various legal actions and claims that are incidental to our business are not expected to have a material adverse impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations, equity or cash flows; however, such matters are subject to many uncertainties and the outcomes of individual matters are not predictable with any degree of assurance.

Debt Payments — As disclosed in Note 11, the TLS Agreement requires the Company to repay a fixed amount of principal on a quarterly basis, make mandatory prepayments of excess cash flows, and voluntary prepayments that coincide with certain events.

Term Loan and Security Agreement
On April 12, 2017, the Company entered into a $175.0 million senior secured term loan credit facility (the “Term Loan Facility”), maturing on April 12, 2023, pursuant to a term loan and security agreement (the “TLS Agreement”) with certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto as guarantors, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and other lender parties thereto. Concurrent with the closing of the TLS Agreement, the proceeds of the Term Loan Facility were used, together with cash on hand in the amount of $74.0 million, to (a) fund the redemption, satisfaction and discharge of all of the Company’s outstanding 7.875% notes along with accrued interest; and (b) pay related transaction costs, fees and expenses. In conjunction with the redemption of the 7.875% notes, the Company recognized a non-cash charge of $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2017 to write-off deferred financing fees and a prepayment charge for interest of $1.5 million paid to bondholders during the 30-day notification period associated with the redemption of the 7.875% notes.
There was $0.1 million in accrued interest as of September 30, 2017. The unamortized deferred financing fees of $3.0 million and original issue discount of $3.2 million are netted against the aggregate book value of the outstanding debt to arrive at a balance of $167.7 million as of September 30, 2017 and are being amortized over the remaining life of the agreement.
The term loan is a senior secured obligation of the Company. Our obligations under the TLS Agreement are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company. The obligations of the Company and the guarantors under the TLS Agreement are secured (subject to certain permitted liens) by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the non-current assets (and a second priority lien on substantially all of the current assets) of the Company and the guarantors, including a first priority pledge of certain capital stock of the domestic and foreign subsidiaries directly owned by the Company and the guarantors. The liens, the security interests and all of the obligations of the Company and the guarantors and all provisions regarding remedies in an event of default are subject to an intercreditor agreement among the Company, the guarantors, the agent for the lenders party to the Company’s revolving credit facility and the collateral agent under the TLS Agreement.
Terms, Covenants and Compliance Status
The TLS Agreement contains customary restrictive covenants, including limitations on our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to: incur additional debt; pay dividends or other restricted payments; make investments; engage in transactions with affiliates; create liens on assets; and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries. In

13


addition, the TLS Agreement contains a financial maintenance covenant requiring the Company to maintain a Total Leverage Ratio as of the last day of any fiscal quarter not to exceed the ratios set forth in the applicable table within the TLS Agreement. The TLS Agreement also contains customary reporting and other affirmative covenants. We were in compliance with the covenants as of September 30, 2017.
The TLS Agreement requires the Company to repay principal of approximately $1.1 million on the last day of each quarter commencing with the quarter ending September 30, 2017 and extending through March 31, 2024, with the remaining outstanding principal due at maturity.
Voluntary prepayments of amounts outstanding under the TLS Agreement are permitted at any time, without premium or penalty; provided, however, that a prepayment penalty equal to 1.0% of the prepaid amount is required to be paid in connection with certain events that have the effect of reducing the all-in-yield applicable to the term loan during the 12 months following the initial funding thereof. In addition, to the extent applicable, customary LIBOR breakage charges may be payable in connection with any prepayment.
The TLS Agreement requires the Company to make mandatory prepayments with excess cash flow, the proceeds of certain asset dispositions and upon the receipt of insurance or condemnation proceeds, and, in the case of an asset disposition or insurance or condemnation event, to the extent the Company does not reinvest the proceeds within the periods set forth in the TLS Agreement.
The TLS Agreement includes customary events of default (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods) which include, among others:
• nonpayment of obligations when due;
• breach of covenants or other agreements in the TLS Agreement; and
• defaults in payment of certain other indebtedness.
Revolving Credit Facility
On April 12, 2017, the Company entered into the Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement ("Third ARLS Agreement") increasing its senior secured revolving credit facility to $65 million from $40 million and setting the maturity date to April 12, 2022. Up to an aggregate of $10.0 million is available to the Company and the other borrowers for the issuance of letters of credit, which reduces availability under the Third ARLS Agreement.
The Third ARLS Agreement included amendments to certain definitions and covenants including, but not limited to, amendments to (i) permitted debt, (ii) permitted distributions, (iii) distribution of assets, and (iv) the calculation of EBITDA. The Third ARLS Agreement contains a fixed charge coverage ratio maintenance covenant of 1.00:1.00 and amended the availability threshold for triggering compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio.
The borrowers’ obligations under the revolving credit facility are secured (subject to certain permitted liens) by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the current assets (and a second priority lien on substantially all of the non-current assets) of the borrowers. Each of the Company and each other borrower is jointly and severally liable for the obligations under the revolving credit facility and unconditionally guarantees the prompt payment and performance thereof. The liens, the security interests and all of the obligations of the Company and each other borrower and all provisions regarding remedies in an event of default are subject to an intercreditor agreement among the Company, certain of its subsidiaries, the agent under the Third ARLS Agreement and the collateral agent for the lenders party to the Company’s term loan credit facility.
The applicable margin is based on average daily availability under the revolving credit facility as follows:
Level
 
Average Daily Availability

The applicable margin will be subject to increase or decrease by the agent on the first day of the calendar month following each fiscal quarter end. If the agent is unable to calculate average daily availability for a fiscal quarter due to borrowers' failure to deliver a borrowing base certificate when required, the applicable margin will be set at Level I until the first day of the calendar month following receipt of a borrowing base certificate. As of September 30, 2017, the applicable margin was set at Level III.

14


The unamortized deferred financing fees associated with our revolving credit facility of $1.1 million and $0.1 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, were being amortized over the remaining life of the agreement. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we did not have borrowings under the revolving credit facility and had outstanding letters of credit of $2.1 million and $2.5 million, respectively. We had borrowing availability of $62.9 million at September 30, 2017.
The Company pays a commitment fee to the lenders equal to 0.25% per annum of the unused amounts under the revolving credit facility.
Terms, Covenants and Compliance Status
The Third ARLS Agreement requires the maintenance of a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The borrowers however are not required to comply with the fixed charge coverage ratio requirement for as long as the borrowers maintain borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility at the greater of (i) $5,000,000 and (ii) ten percent (10%) of the revolving commitments. If borrowing availability falls below this threshold at any time, the borrowers would be required to comply with a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00:1.00 as of the end of each relevant fiscal quarter, and would be required to continue to comply with these requirements until the borrowers have borrowing availability in excess of this threshold for 60 consecutive days. Since the Company had borrowing availability in excess of this threshold from December 31, 2016 through September 30, 2017, the Company was not required to comply with the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio covenant during the quarter ended September 30, 2017.
The Third ARLS Agreement contains customary restrictive covenants, including limitations on our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to: incur additional debt; pay dividends or other restricted payments; make investments; engage in transactions with affiliates; create liens on assets; and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries. The Third ARLS Agreement also contains customary reporting and other affirmative covenants. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2017.
Voluntary prepayments of amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility are permitted at any time, without premium or penalty, other than (to the extent applicable) customary LIBOR breakage charges and the aforementioned prepayment penalty.
The Third ARLS Agreement requires the borrowers to make mandatory prepayments upon the receipt of insurance or condemnation proceeds in respect of the revolving credit facility’s priority collateral.
The Third ARLS Agreement includes customary events of default (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods) which include, among others:

nonpayment of obligations when due;
breach of covenants or other agreements in the Third ARLS Agreement;
a change of control; and
defaults in payment of certain other indebtedness, including the term loan credit facility.
12. Income Taxes
We file federal and state income tax returns in the U.S. and income tax returns in foreign jurisdictions. With a few minor exceptions, we are no longer subject to income tax examinations by any of the taxing jurisdictions for years prior to 2013. We currently have one foreign income tax examination in process.
As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, unrecognized tax benefits related to federal, state and foreign jurisdictions were $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively; all of which may impact our effective tax rate, if recognized. The domestic unrecognized tax benefits are netted against their related noncurrent deferred tax assets that are carried forward as net operating losses and tax credits. When appropriate, we accrue penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits through income tax expense. Included in the unrecognized tax benefits is $0.2 million of interest and penalties as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we released $0.2 million of tax reserves associated with items falling outside the statue of limitations and the closure of certain tax years for examination purposes. We are not aware of any events that could occur within the next twelve months that would have an impact on the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would require a reserve.

15


At September 30, 2017, due to cumulative losses and other factors, we continue to carry valuation allowances against the deferred tax assets primarily in the United Kingdom and Luxembourg. Additionally, we continue to carry valuation allowances related to certain state deferred assets that we believe to be more likely than not to expire before they can be utilized. We evaluate the need for valuation allowances in each of our jurisdictions on a quarterly basis.

14. Derivative Contracts
We use forward exchange contracts to hedge certain of our foreign currency transaction exposures. We estimate our projected revenues and purchases in certain foreign currencies and may hedge a portion of the anticipated long or short positions. The contracts typically run from one month up to eighteen months. As of September 30, 2017, we did not have any derivatives designated as hedging instruments; therefore, our forward foreign exchange contracts have been marked-to-market and the fair value of contracts recorded in the condensed consolidated Balance Sheet with the offsetting non-cash gain or loss recorded in cost of revenue in our consolidated Statement of Income. We do not hold or issue foreign exchange options or forward contracts for trading purposes. Our forward foreign exchange contracts are subject to a master netting agreement. We record assets and liabilities relating to our forward foreign exchange contracts on a gross basis in our condensed consolidated Balance Sheet.
The following table summarizes the notional amount of our open foreign exchange contracts:

We consider the impact of our credit risk on the fair value of the contracts, as well as our ability to honor obligations under the contract.
The Company entered into an interest rate swap contract to fix the interest rate on an initial aggregate amount of $80.0 million thereby reducing exposure to interest rate changes. The interest rate swap has a floor rate of 2.07% and an all-in rate of 8.07%, and an effective date of June 30, 2017 and a maturity date of April 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2017, the interest rate swap contract was not designated as a hedging instrument; therefore, our interest rate swap contract has been marked-to-market and the fair value of the contract recorded in the condensed consolidated Balance Sheet with the offsetting gain or loss recorded in interest and other expense in our condensed consolidated Statement of Income.
The following table summarizes the fair value and presentation in the condensed consolidated Balance Sheet for derivatives, none of which are designated as accounting hedges:

16. Pension and Other Post-Retirement Benefit Plans
We sponsor pension plans that cover certain hourly and salaried employees in the United States and United Kingdom. Each of the plans are frozen to new participants. Our policy is to make annual contributions to the plans to fund the normal cost as required by local regulations. In addition, we have a post-retirement benefit plan for certain U.S. operations, retirees and their dependents.
The components of net periodic (benefit) cost related to pension and other post-retirement benefit plans is as follows:

17.
Restructuring

On November 19, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company approved adjustments to the Company’s manufacturing footprint and capacity utilization, and reductions to selling, general and administrative costs. We expect the costs associated with restructuring activities to total $6.5 million to $7.6 million, and capital investments to total $1.0 million to $2.0 million. The restructuring and cost reduction actions began in the fourth quarter of 2015 and are expected to continue through 2017. Restructuring costs incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were $2.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively. The following is a summary of some of our key actions.

Edgewood Facility
The closure of our Edgewood, Iowa facility and transfer of production to our Agua Prieta, Mexico facility was announced on December 3, 2015 and was substantially complete as of June 30, 2016.
Piedmont Facility
On May 2, 2016, the Company announced plans to consolidate its North American seat production into two North American facilities and cease seat production in its Piedmont, Alabama facility. The Company will continue to maintain a presence in Piedmont for our Aftermarket distribution channel. The restructuring plan is now complete.
Monona Facility
On July 19, 2016, the Company announced its intent to transfer all wire harness production from its manufacturing facility in Monona, Iowa to its facility in Agua Prieta, Mexico. On May 24, 2017, the Company elected to maintain production capability in the Monona facility as a result of a shortage of labor in our North American wire harness business. The Company released accrued employee separation charges of $0.4 million and incurred lease cancellation charges of $1.3 million.
Shadyside Facility
On July 21, 2016, the Company announced that it will close its Shadyside, Ohio facility that performs assembly and stamping activities. These activities will be transferred to alternative facilities or sourced to local suppliers. We anticipate the closure of the Shadyside facility to be complete by the end of 2017.
Ongoing Restructuring Expenditures

Our products include Seats; Trim; cab structures, sleeper boxes, body panels and structural components; mirrors, wipers and controls; and electronic wire harness and panel assemblies designed for applications in commercial and other vehicles.

We are differentiated from automotive industry suppliers by our ability to manufacture low volume, customized products on a sequenced basis to meet the requirements of our customers. We believe our products are used by a majority of the North American MD/HD Truck and certain leading global construction and agriculture OEMs, which we believe creates an opportunity to cross-sell our products.

Business Overview

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, approximately 42% of our revenue was generated from sales to North American MD/HD Truck OEMs. Our remaining revenue was primarily derived from sales to OEMs in the global construction equipment market, aftermarket, OE service organizations, military market and other specialty markets.
Demand for our products is driven to a significant degree by preferences of the end-user of the vehicle, particularly with respect to heavy-duty trucks. Unlike the automotive industry, vehicle OEMs generally afford the end-user the ability to specify many of the component parts that will be used to manufacture the commercial vehicle, including a wide variety of cab interior styles and colors, brand and type of seats, type of seat fabric and color, and specific interior styling. In addition, certain of our products are only utilized in heavy-duty trucks, such as our storage systems, sleeper boxes and privacy curtains. Accordingly, changes in demand for heavy-duty trucks in North America or the mix of options on a vehicle can have a greater impact on our business than changes in the overall demand for commercial vehicles. To the extent that demand for higher content vehicles increases or decreases, our revenues and gross profit will be impacted positively or negatively.
We generally compete for new business at the beginning of the development of a new vehicle platform and upon the redesign of existing programs. New platform development generally begins one to three years before the marketing of such models by our customers. Contract durations for commercial vehicle products generally extend for the entire life of the platform, which is typically five to seven years. Several of the major truck makers are in the process of upgrading their key truck platforms and we believe we have maintained our share of content in these platforms. We continue to pursue opportunities to expand our content.
Demand for our heavy-duty (or "Class 8") truck products is generally dependent on the number of new heavy-duty trucks manufactured in North America, which in turn is a function of general economic conditions, interest rates, changes in government regulations, consumer spending, fuel costs, freight costs, fleet operators' financial health and access to capital, used truck prices and our customers’ inventory levels. New heavy-duty truck demand has historically been cyclical and is particularly sensitive to the industrial sector of the economy, which generates a significant portion of the freight tonnage hauled by commercial vehicles. According to a October 2017 report by ACT Research, a publisher of industry market research, North American Class 8 production levels are expected to increase to 252,000 units in 2017 and then increase to 296,000 units in 2019 before decreasing to 281,000 units in 2022. We believe the demand for North American Class 8 vehicles in 2017 will be between 235,000 to 255,000 units. ACT Research estimates that the average age of active North American Class 8 trucks is 11.4 and 11.3 years in 2016 and 2017, respectively. As vehicles age, their maintenance costs typically increase. ACT Research forecasts that the vehicle age will decline as aging fleets are replaced.

22


North American medium-duty (or "Class 5-7") truck production steadily increased from 227,000 units in 2014 to 233,000 units in 2016. According to a October 2017 report by ACT Research, North American Class 5-7 truck production is expected to increase to 250,000 units in 2017 and then gradually increase to 275,000 units in 2022.
Demand for our construction and agricultural equipment products is dependent on vehicle production. Demand for new vehicles in the global construction and agricultural equipment market generally follows certain economic conditions around the world. Our products are primarily used in the medium- and heavy-duty construction equipment markets (vehicles weighing over 12 metric tons). Demand in the medium- and heavy-duty construction equipment market is typically related to the level of large scale infrastructure development projects such as highways, dams, harbors, hospitals, airports and industrial development, as well as activity in the mining, forestry and other raw material based industries. We believe the construction markets we serve in Europe, Asia, and North America are improving. Global agriculture markets may be stabilizing.

Our Long-Term Strategy

Our long-term strategy is to grow organically by product, geographic region and end market. Our products are Seats, Trim, wire harnesses, structures, wipers, mirrors and office seats. We expect to realize some end market diversification in truck and bus in Asia-Pacific and trim in Europe, with additional diversification weighted toward the agriculture market, and to a lesser extent the construction market. We intend to allocate resources consistent with our strategy; and more specifically, consistent with our product portfolio, geographic region and end market diversification objectives. We periodically evaluate our long-term strategy in response to significant changes in our business environment and other factors.

Although our long-term strategy is an organic growth plan, we will consider opportunistic acquisitions to supplement our product portfolio, and to enhance our ability to serve our customers in our geographic end markets.

Strategic Footprint

We review our manufacturing footprint in the normal course to, among other considerations, provide a competitive landed cost to our customers. In November 2015, the Company announced a restructuring and cost reduction plan, which is expected to lower operating costs by $8 million to $12 million annually when fully implemented at the end of 2017. As part of the Company's restructuring efforts, on July 19, 2016, the Company announced it will transfer all wire harness production from its manufacturing facility in Monona, Iowa to its facility in Agua Prieta, Mexico. On May 24, 2017, the Company elected to maintain production capability in the Monona, Iowa facility as a result of a shortage of labor in our North American wire harness business. Additionally, the Company established a new facility in Mexico with better access to labor. The labor shortage and footprint adjustment in our North American wire harness business are collectively referred to as the "NA Footprint Adjustment". Notwithstanding the decision to maintain production capability in the Monona facility and to establish additional production capacity elsewhere in Mexico, the Company expects to achieve its previously disclosed $8 million to $12 million of annual savings from its cost reduction and restructuring efforts.

At the time of the November 2015 announcement of facility restructuring actions, the Company estimated pre-tax costs of $11 million to $16 million. This range of pre-tax restructuring costs, net of related income, has been lowered to $7 million to $8 million. Pre-tax expenditures associated with the restructuring actions announced in November 2015 were approximately $1 million in the year ended December 31, 2015, approximately $4 million in the year ended December 31, 2016, and are expected to be $2 million to $3 million for year ended December 31, 2017. The majority of these costs are employee-related separation costs and other costs associated with the transfer of production and subsequent closure of facilities, offset by gains on the sale of long-lived assets.

Revenues. On a consolidated basis, revenues increased $44.7 million, or 29.1%, to $198.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $153.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in consolidated revenues resulted from:
 
a $26.3 million, or 42.2%, increase in OEM North American MD/HD Truck revenues;
a $14.9 million, or 48.5%, increase in construction equipment revenues; and
a $3.5 million, or 5.9%, increase in other revenues.
Third quarter 2017 revenues were favorably impacted by foreign currency exchange translation of $1.7 million, which is reflected in the change in revenues above.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $6.2 million, or 32.9%, to $25.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $18.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Included in gross profit is cost of revenues, which consists primarily of raw materials and purchased components for our products, wages and benefits for our employees and overhead expenses such as manufacturing supplies, facility rent and utility costs related to our operations. Cost of revenue increased $38.5 million, or 28.6%, resulting from an increase in raw material and purchased component costs of $31.5 million, an increase in wages and benefits of $4.2 million, and an increase in overhead costs of $2.8 million. The increase in gross profit is primarily attributable to an increase in sales volume partially offset by rising commodity prices, product launch costs and near term costs associated with the sharp acceleration in North American truck build. Also adversely impacting cost of revenue is the impact of the NA Footprint Adjustment. The adverse impact of the NA Footprint Adjustment on third quarter results was approximately $2 million; we expect the impact in the second half of the year to be at the low end of the previously disclosed range of $3 million to $6 million. Additionally, third quarter 2017 results included $0.4 million in charges relating to facility restructuring and other related costs compared to $1.5 million in the third quarter 2016. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit margin was 12.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 12.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2016.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of wages and benefits and other expenses such as marketing, travel, legal, audit, rent and utility costs which are not directly associated with the manufacturing of our products. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $14.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.
Interest and Other Expense. Interest, associated with our debt, and other expense was $3.5 million and $4.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decrease is primarily the result of less outstanding debt.
Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes. An income tax provision of $2.4 million and income tax benefit of $1.5 million was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The period over period change in the tax provision resulted primarily from the increase in pre-tax earnings, the mix of income between our U.S. and non-U.S. locations and earnings or losses in certain foreign tax jurisdictions which were no longer subject to valuation allowances in the quarter ended September 30, 2017.
Net Income. Net income was $4.8 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase is attributed to the factors noted above.

Revenues. On a consolidated basis, revenues increased $54.7 million, or 10.7%, to $566.9 million for nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $512.1 million for nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in the consolidated revenue resulted from:

a $26.9 million, or 27.0%, increase in construction revenues;
a $21.6 million, or 10.0%, increase in OEM North American MD/HD Truck revenues; and
a $6.2 million, or 3.2%, increase in other revenues.
Revenues were adversely impacted by foreign currency exchange translation of $3.2 million, which is reflected in the change in revenue above.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $0.4 million, or 0.6%, to $69.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $69.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Cost of revenue increased $54.3 million, or 12.3%, resulting from an increase in raw material and purchased component costs of $35.0 million, an increase in wages and benefits of $7.1 million and an increase in overhead costs of $12.2 million. The increase in gross profit is primarily attributable to an increase in sales volume partially offset by rising commodity prices, product launch costs and near term costs associated with the sharp acceleration in North American truck build. Also adversely impacting cost of revenue is the impact of the NA Footprint Adjustment. The adverse impact of the NA Footprint Adjustment on the results for the nine months ended September 2017 was approximately $10 million; we expect the impact in the second half of the year to be at the low end of the previously disclosed range of $3 million to $6 million. Additionally, the nine months ended September 30, 2017 results included $2.3 million in charges relating to facility restructuring and other related costs compared to $2.2 million in the prior year period ended September 30, 2016. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit margin was 12.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 13.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.9 million, or 2.0%, to $45.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $46.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decline in selling, general and administrative expenses reflects a continuing focus on cost discipline, partially offset by $2.4

26


million of settlement costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 associated with the settlement of contract litigation. In addition, the nine months ended September 30, 2016 included a $0.6 million impairment of an asset held for sale.
Interest and Other Expense. Interest associated with our debt and other expense was $14.8 million and $14.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Included in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 is a non-cash write-off of deferred financing fees of $1.6 million and a prepayment charge for interest paid of $1.5 million paid to bondholders during the 30-day notification period associated with the redemption of the 7.875% notes completed during the second quarter of 2017. These expenses were partially offset by lower interest expense resulting from less outstanding debt.
Provision for Income Taxes. An income tax provision of $2.5 million and $0.5 million was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The period over period change in the tax provision resulted primarily from the mix of income between our U.S. and non-U.S locations and earnings or losses in certain foreign jurisdictions which are no longer subject to valuation allowances in the period ended September 30, 2017.
Net Income. Net income attributable to the Company's stockholders was $5.5 million and $6.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decrease in net income is attributed to the factors noted above.

Revenues. GCA Segment revenues increased $37.6 million, or 19.4%, to $231.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $193.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in GCA Segment revenues is resulted from:
 
a $24.8 million, or 26.5%, increase in OEM construction revenues; and
a $12.8 million, or 12.8%, increase in other revenues.

GCA Segment revenues were adversely impacted by foreign currency exchange translation of $4.1 million, which is reflected in the change in revenue above.
Gross Profit. GCA Segment gross profit decreased $5.0 million, or 18.5%, to $22.1 million for nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $27.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Cost of revenues increased $42.6 million, or 25.6%, as a result of an increase in raw material and purchased component costs of $25.3 million, an increase in wages and benefits of $4.8 million and in overhead costs of $12.5 million. The decrease in gross profit is primarily attributable to the NA Footprint Adjustment and to rising commodity prices. The adverse impact of the NA Footprint Adjustment on the results for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was approximately $10 million; we expect the impact in the second half of the year to be at the low end of the previously disclosed range of $3 million to $6 million. Additionally, the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 results included $1.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in charges relating to facility restructuring and other related costs . As a percentage of revenues, gross profit margin decreased to 9.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from 14.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. GCA Segment selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.2 million, or 8.9%, to $12.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $13.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 reflecting a continuing focus on cost discipline.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

Our primary sources of liquidity during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were cash reserves and availability under our revolving credit facility. We believe that these sources of liquidity will provide adequate funds for our working capital needs, planned capital expenditures, and servicing of our debt through the next twelve months. However, no assurance can be given that this will be the case. We did not borrow under our revolving credit facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net cash used in operations was $2.3 million compared to net cash provided by operations of $50.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Net cash used in operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 is due primarily to an increase in investment in working capital associated with the increased revenues and changes in other operating activities.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net cash used for investing activities was $10.0 million compared to $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. In 2017, we expect capital expenditures to be at the low end of the previously disclosed range of $14 million to $16 million, of which we have incurred approximately $11 million through September 30, 2017.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net cash used for financing activities was $70.4 million compared to no financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 is attributable to the debt refinancing completed in the second quarter of 2017.

As of September 30, 2017, cash held by foreign subsidiaries was $38.2 million. If we were to repatriate any portion of these funds to the U.S., we would accrue and pay the appropriate withholding and income taxes on amounts repatriated. Our expectation is to use the cash to fund the growth of our foreign operations.

Debt and Credit Facilities

The debt and credit facilities described in Note 11 of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" are incorporated in this section by reference.

Covenants and Liquidity

Our ability to comply with the covenants in the TLS Agreement and the Third ARLS Agreement, as discussed in note 11, may be affected in the future by economic or business conditions beyond our control. Based on our current forecast, we believe that we will be able to maintain compliance with the financial maintenance covenant and the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant, if applicable, and other covenants in the TLS Agreement and the Third ARLS Agreement for the next twelve months; however, no assurances can be given that we will be able to comply. We base our forecasts on historical experience, industry forecasts and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. If actual results are substantially different than our current forecast, or if we do not realize a significant portion of our planned cost savings or sustain sufficient cash or borrowing availability, we could be required to comply with our financial covenants, and there is no assurance that we would be able to comply with such financial covenants. If we do not comply with the financial and other covenants in the TLS Agreement and the Third ARLS Agreement, and we are unable to obtain necessary waivers or amendments from the lenders, we would be in default of the TLS Agreement and be precluded from borrowing under the Third ARLS Agreement, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and liquidity. If we are unable to borrow under the Third ARLS Agreement, we will need to meet our capital requirements using other sources and alternative sources of liquidity may not be available on acceptable terms. In addition, if we do not comply with the financial and other covenants in the TLS Agreement and the Third ARLS Agreement, the lenders could declare an event of default under the TLS Agreement and the Third ARLS Agreement, and our indebtedness thereunder could be declared immediately due and payable. The TLS Agreement and the Third ARLS Agreement contain cross default provisions. Any of these events would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and liquidity.
We believe that cash on hand, cash flow from operating activities together with available borrowings under the Third ARLS Agreement will be sufficient to fund anticipated working capital, capital spending, certain strategic initiatives, and debt service requirements for at least the next 12 months. Additionally, the Company has the ability under the Term Loan Facility to increase borrowings by an additional $20 million, or more if certain total leverage ratio requirements are met. No assurance can be given, however, that this will be the case.
Forward-Looking Statements
All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-Q, including without limitation the statements under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date the statements were made. When used in this Form 10-Q, the words “believe,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “expect,” “intend,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “project,” “continue,” “likely,” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements may include forward-looking statements about our expectations for future periods with respect to our plans to improve financial results and enhance the Company, the future of the Company’s end markets, Class 8 North America build rates, performance of the global construction equipment business, expected cost savings, enhanced shareholder value and other economic benefits of the Company’s initiatives to address customer needs, organic growth, the Company’s economic growth plans to focus on certain segments and markets and the Company’s financial position or other financial information.

There can be no assurance that statements made in this press release relating to future events will be achieved. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on behalf of the Company are expressly qualified in their entirety by such cautionary statements.
ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We believe there are no material changes in the quantitative and qualitative market risks since our 2016 Form 10-K.
ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our senior management is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as well as other key members of our management. Based upon the disclosure controls evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of September 30, 2017 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of error or mistake. Controls also can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
