CSP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2015 AND 2014

Organization and Business

CSP Inc. was founded in 1968 and is based in Billerica, Massachusetts. To meet the diverse requirements of its industrial, commercial and defense customers worldwide, CSP Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively “we”, “us”, “our”,

“CSPI” or the “Company”) develop and market IT integration solutions and high-performance cluster computer systems. The Company operates in two segments, its High Performance Products (“HPP”) segment (formerly the “High Performance Products and Solutions” segment) and its Technology Solutions (“TS”) segment (formerly the Information Technology Solutions segment).

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. All adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, have been omitted.

Accordingly, the Company believes that although the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, the unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the footnotes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014 .

2. Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, including estimates and assumptions related to reserves for bad debt, reserves for inventory obsolescence, the impairment assessment of intangible assets, the calculation of estimated selling price used for revenue recognition and the calculation of income tax liabilities. Actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

3. Earnings Per Share of Common Stock

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

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

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



	For the three months ended					For the six months ended
	March 31, 2015			March 31, 2014		March 31, 2015			March 31, 2014
	(Amounts in thousands except per share data)
Net income (loss)	$	(675	)	$	167	$	(1,112	)	$	513
Less: net income (loss) attributable to nonvested common stock	(26		)	6		(40		)	18
Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders	$	(649	)	$	161	$	(1,072	)	$	495

Weighted average total shares outstanding – basic	3,662			3,580		3,637			3,562
Less: weighted average non-vested shares outstanding	137			134		130			123
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding – basic	3,525			3,446		3,507			3,439
Potential common shares from non-vested stock awards and the assumed exercise of stock options	—			47		—			45
Weighted average common shares outstanding – diluted	3,525			3,493		3,507			3,484

Net income (loss) per share – basic	$	(0.19	)	$	0.05	$	(0.31	)	$	0.14
Net income (loss) per share – diluted	$	(0.19	)	$	0.05	$	(0.31	)	$	0.14

All anti-dilutive securities, including certain stock options, are excluded from the diluted income (loss) per share computation. The calculation of diluted loss per share for the three and six months ended March 31, 2015 excludes 35,000 stock options and the calculation of basic net income per share for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 excludes 49,000 stock options with an exercise price in excess of fair value, because in each case the inclusion of those shares in the calculation would have been anti-dilutive.

Draft 5 Preliminary & Tentative For Discussion Purposes Only

4. Inventories

Inventories consist of the following:



	March 31, 2015		September 30, 2014
	(Amounts in thousands)
Raw materials	$	2,191	$	2,377
Work-in-process	634		229
Finished goods	4,206		3,840
Total	$	7,031	$	6,446

Finished goods includes inventory that has been shipped, but for which all revenue recognition criteria have not been met, of approximately $0.1 million and $0.4 million as of March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014 , respectively.

Total inventory balances in the table above are shown net of reserves for obsolescence of approximately $4.6 million and $4.7 million as of March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014 .

5. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss are as follows:



	March 31, 2015			September 30, 2014
	(Amounts in thousands)
Cumulative effect of foreign currency translation	$	(2,612	)	$	(2,495	)
Cumulative unrealized loss on pension liability	(5,429		)	(5,429		)
Accumulated other comprehensive loss	$	(8,041	)	$	(7,924	)

6. Pension and Retirement Plans

The Company has defined benefit and defined contribution plans in the United Kingdom, Germany and the U.S. In the United Kingdom and Germany, the Company provides defined benefit pension plans and defined contribution plans for the majority of its employees. In the U.S., the Company provides benefits through supplemental retirement plans to certain current and former employees. The domestic supplemental retirement plans have life insurance policies which are not plan assets but were purchased by the Company as a vehicle to fund the costs of the plan. Domestically, the Company also provides for officer death benefits through post-retirement plans to certain officers. All of the Company’s defined benefit plans are closed to newly hired employees and have been for the two years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 and for the six months ended March 31, 2015 .

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

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

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

On February 11, 2015 the Company's board of directors declared a cash dividend of $0.11 per share which was paid on March 12, 2015 to shareholders of record as of February 26, 2015, the record date.

10. Acquired Business

On November 4, 2013 the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Myricom, Inc. Myricom has been integrated into the High Performance Products segment.

Although Myricom was an established business prior to the acquisition, it had previously sold off a significant portion of its business and was faced with the likelihood of having to shut down operations if it could not find a buyer to purchase its remaining assets because the revenue that Myricom was able to generate from these remaining assets was not sufficient to operate the business profitably. As a result, the Company recognized a bargain purchase gain. The Company paid total cash consideration of approximately $0.5 million to acquire substantially all of the assets of Myricom and incurred approximately $0.1 million for the assumption of certain other liabilities. The purchase of Myricom resulted in the recognition of a net after tax bargain purchase gain of approximately $0.5 million as shown below.

The purchase price was allocated as follows:



	(Amounts in Thousands)
Inventory	$	1,030
Property & equipment	17
Intangibles	260
Gross assets acquired	1,307
Product warranty liability assumed	(93		)
Net assets acquired	1,214
Less: asset purchase price	500
Bargain purchase gain before tax	714

The results of operations of Myricom for the for the six months ended March 31, 2015 and the five month period beginning on November 4, 2013 and ending on March 31, 2014 are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 , respectively.

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

Forward-Looking Statements

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

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

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to uncollectible receivables, inventory valuation, income taxes, deferred compensation and retirement plans, estimated selling prices used for revenue recognition and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical performance and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A description of our critical accounting policies is contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014 in the “Critical Accounting Policies” section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Results of Operations

Explanatory note

Beginning in the current period ending and as of March 31, 2015, we have renamed our segments. We have renamed the segment that was formerly known as the High Performance Products and Solutions segment to the High Performance Products ("HPP") segment. We have also renamed the segment that was formerly known as the Information Technology Solutions segment to the Technology Solutions ("TS") segment.

Overview of the three months ended March 31, 2015

Overview:

Our revenue decrease d by approximately $2.0 million , or 10% , to $18.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 versus $20.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 . The decrease in revenue is primarily attributed to $0.8 million of royalty revenue for one plane in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to no plane royalty revenue for the same period in 2015 and a $1.4 million decrease in TS segment revenues, partially offset by $0.2 million of additional HPP revenues. We expect to recognize royalty revenue on five planes during the last 6 months of fiscal year 2015.

Our gross profit margin percentage decrease d overall, from 24% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 to 21% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 . The 3% decrease in our gross margin percentage is attributed to not having $0.8 million of gross profit from plane royalty revenue the second quarter of 2015.

We incurred an operating loss of approximately $0.6 million for the three -month period ended March 31, 2015 as compared to $0.3 million of operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 . The $1.0 million decrease in income from operations is attributed to the decline in gross profit for the period as operating expenses remained relatively flat for the comparative period.

The following table details our results of operations in dollars and as a percentage of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 :



	March 31, 2015			% of sales		March 31, 2014			% of sales

Revenues

Our revenues decrease d by $2.0 million to $18.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to $20.9 million of revenues for the same period in fiscal year 2014. The revenue decrease discussed above was comprised of a $0.6 million decrease in HPP segment revenues and a $1.4 million decrease in TS segment revenues.

HPP segment revenue change by product line for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was as follows (in thousands):



					Increase (decrease)
	2015		2014		$			%
Products	$	2,527	$	2,170	$	357		16	%
Services	130		1,065		(935		)	(88	)%
Total	$	2,657	$	3,235	$	(578	)	(18	)%

The decrease in HPP revenues, for the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in fiscal year 2014, is attributed to $0.8 million of plane royalty revenue related to one plane in the second quarter of 2014 compared to no plane royalty revenues in the same period in 2015 which was partially offset by an increase in product revenues related to Myricom products and defense sector sales. We expect to recognize royalty revenue on five planes during the last six months of 2015.

TS segment revenue change by product line for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was as follows (in thousands):



					(Decrease)
	2015		2014		$			%
Products	$	11,668	$	12,149	$	(481	)	(4	)%

Total	$	16,220	$	17,668	$	(1,448	)	(8	)%

The decrease in TS revenues, for the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, was the result of a $2.5 million decrease in our German division, partially offset by $0.5 million increases in both our US and UK divisions,

respectively. The decrease in our German division revenue is primarily attributed to the impact of the decline in the Euro as compared to the US dollar and the timing of orders for the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014.

Our revenues by geographic area for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 based on the location to which the products were shipped or services rendered was as follows (in thousands):

Gross Margins

Our gross margin ("GM") for the three months ended March 31, 2015 decreased by $1.0 million or 3% of revenues to $4.0 million and as compared to a gross margin of $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as follows (in thousands):

The impact of product mix within our HPP segment for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was as follows (in thousands):



HPP Segment	2015				2014				Increase (decrease)
	GM$		GM%		GM$		GM%		GM$			GM%

Total	$	1,267	48	%	$	1,996	62	%	$	(729	)	(14	)%

The decrease in our HPP segment gross margins is primarily attributed to the impact of $0.8 million of royalty revenue related to one plane at approximately 100% gross margin in the second quarter of fiscal year 2014 as compared to no plane royalty revenue in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015.

The impact of product mix within our TS segment on gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was as follows (in thousands):



TS Segment	2015				2014				(Decrease)
	GM$		GM%		GM$		GM%		GM$			GM%

Total	$	2,776	17	%	$	3,086	17	%	$	(310	)	—	%

The decrease in our TS segment gross margin of $0.3 million is attributed to decreased service revenue generated by our German division for second quarter of 2015 as compared the same period in 2014.

Engineering and Development Expenses

The engineering and development expenses incurred exclusively by our HPP segment was $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, respectively. The current year expenses are primarily for Myricom engineering expenses incurred in connection with the development of new products expected to be released in the second half of fiscal year 2015.

Selling, General and Administrative

The following table details our selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense by operating segment for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 :



	For the three Months Ended March 31,
	2015		% of Total		2014		% of Total		$ (Decrease)			% (Decrease)

Total	$	3,856	100	%	$	3,957	100	%	$	(101	)	(3	)%

The HPP segment SG&A expenses were relatively flat for the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 and the TS segment SG&A expenses decreased slightly for the same comparative period primarily attributed to lower variable sales and marketing cost in our German division.

Other Income/Expenses

The following table details our other income (expense) for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 :



	For the three months ended,
	March 31, 2015			March 31, 2014			Decrease

Other expense, net	(1		)	(1		)	—
Total other income (expense), net	$	(129	)	$	(48	)	$	(81	)

The increase in the foreign exchange loss for the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 versus the comparable period of 2014 was due to losses on foreign currency holdings where those currencies weakened against the functional currencies in those countries.

Income Taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $93 thousand of which is primarily related to the loss in the US operation of $705 thousand. There was no tax benefit recorded on the loss in the UK because the company has recorded a valuation allowance which reduces the gross deferred tax asset to an amount which we believe will more likely than not be realized.

Overview of the six months ended March 31, 2015

Revenue decrease d by approximately $2.9 million , or 7% , to $39.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2015 versus $42.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2014 .

Our gross profit margin percentage decrease d overall, from 23% of revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2014 to 20% for the six months ended March 31, 2015 . The 3% decrease in the gross profit margin is primarily attributed to our HPP segment not having $1.8 million of 100% gross margin royalty revenue related to three planes in the first six months of fiscal year 2015 as we did in the comparable period in fiscal year 2014. We expect to recognize royalty revenue on five planes during the last 6 months of fiscal year 2015.

We incurred an operating loss of approximately $1.6 million for the six -month period ended March 31, 2015 compared to $0.7 million of operating income for the six months ended March 31, 2014 . The $2.3 million decrease in income from operations is primarily attributed to the $1.6 million decrease in gross profit (described above), the recognition of a $0.5 million bargain purchase gain related to our Myricom acquisition in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 and approximately $0.3 million in additional engineering expenditures related to bringing the next generation of Myricom product to market partially offset by $0.1 million of lower sales and marketing expenses.

Revenues

Our revenues decrease d by $2.9 million to $39.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2015 as compared $42.2 million of revenues for the same period in fiscal year 2014. The revenue decrease discussed above was comprised of a $0.2 million decrease in HPP segment revenues and a $2.7 million decrease in TS segment revenues.

HPP segment revenue change by product line for the six months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was as follows (in thousands):



					Increase (decrease)

Services	360		2,348		(1,988		)	(85	)%
Total	$	5,339	$	5,524	$	(185	)	(3	)%

The increase in HPP product revenues, for the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, was the result of an increase in Myricom product revenues that was substantially offset by approximately $1.8 million of royalty revenue related to three planes in the first six months of fiscal year 2014. We did not have any plane royalty revenue in the first six months of fiscal year 2015. We expect to recognize royalty revenue on five planes during the last six months of fiscal year 2015.

The decrease in TS segment revenues, for the first six months of fiscal year 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, was the result of $2.4 million and $1.7 million decreases in our German and US divisions, respectively, partially offset by increases of $1.3 million increase our UK division. Approximately $1.7 million of the German revenue decrease is attributed to the impact of the decline in the Euro as compared to the US dollar for the first six months of fiscal year 2015 compared to the same period in fiscal year 2014. We consider the non-currency related revenue decrease in our German and US divisions and the increase in our UK division revenues to be a result of the timing of orders rather than a change in market conditions.

Our revenues by geographic area for the six months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 based on the location to which the products were shipped or services rendered was as follows (in thousands):

Gross Margins

Our gross margin for the six months ended March 31, 2015 decreased by $1.6 million or 3% of revenues to $8.0 million as compared to a gross margin of $9.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2014 as follows (in thousands):



	2015				2014				(Decrease)

The impact of product mix within our HPP segment for the six months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was as follows (in thousands):



HPP Segment	2015				2014				Increase (decrease)
	GM$		GM%		GM$		GM%		GM$			GM%

Total	$	2,498	47	%	$	3,344	61	%	$	(846	)	(14	)%

The decrease in our HPP segment gross margins is primarily attributed to the impact of $1.8 million of royalty revenue related to three planes at approximately 100% gross margin in the first six months of fiscal year 2014 as compared to no plane royalty revenue in the first six months of fiscal year 2015. Additional gross margin contributed by Myricom product revenues partially offset the lower level of royalty revenue in the first six months of fiscal year 2015.

The impact of product mix within our TS segment for the six months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was as follows (in thousands):



TS Segment	2015				2014				(Decrease)
	GM$		GM%		GM$		GM%		GM$			GM%
Product	3,155		13	%	$	3,589	14	%	$	(434	)	(1	)%

Total	$	5,500	16	%	$	6,271	17	%	$	(771	)	(1	)%

The decrease in our TS segment gross margin of $0.8 million is primarily attributed to the decreases in our US and German divisions of $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively for the first six months of fiscal year 2015 compared to the same period in fiscal year 2014.

Engineering and Development Expenses

The engineering and development expenses incurred exclusively by our HPP segment increase d by $0.3 million to $1.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to $1.4 million for the same period in fiscal year 2014. The increase was due primarily to Myricom engineering expenses incurred in connection with the development of new products expected to be released in the second half of fiscal 2015.

Selling, General and Administrative

The following table details our selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense by operating segment for the six months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 :



	For the six Months Ended March 31,
	2015		% of Total		2014		% of Total		$ Increase (decrease)			% Increase (decrease)
	(Dollar amounts in thousands)
By Operating Segment:
HPP segment	$	2,323	29	%	$	2,124	27	%	$	199		9	%
TS segment	5,556		71	%	5,853		73	%	(297		)	(5	)%
Total	$	7,879	100	%	$	7,977	100	%	$	(98	)	(1	)%

The increase in HPP segment expenses is attributed to increased sales and marketing costs including higher variable commissions expense on the additional Myricom revenues in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. The $0.3 million decrease in the TS segment operating cost is primarily attributed to decreased costs in our German division

which incurred lower variable sales and marketing expenses and benefited from the impact of the decline in the Euro as compared to the US dollar for the first six months of fiscal year 2015 compared to the same period in fiscal year 2014.

Other Income/Expenses

The following table details our other income (expense) for the six months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 :



	For the six months ended,
	March 31, 2015			March 31, 2014			Increase (decrease)
	(Amounts in thousands)

Other income, net	5			19			(14		)
Total other expense, net	$	(162	)	$	(74	)	$	(88	)

The unfavorable variance in the foreign exchange loss for the six month periods ended March 31, 2015 versus the comparable period of 2014 was due to losses on foreign currency holdings where those currencies weakened against the functional currencies in those countries.

Income Taxes

For the six months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $610 thousand of which is primarily related to the loss in the US operation of $1.8 million, partially offset by the $154 thousand of income in the Germany operation. There was no tax benefit recorded on the loss in the UK because the company has recorded a valuation allowance which reduces the gross deferred tax asset to an amount which we believe will more likely than not be realized. The Company recognized $28 thousand of research and development credits recognized in the US for fiscal year 2014 after the R&D credit was reinstated by Congress in December for calendar year 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary source of liquidity is our cash and cash equivalents, which decreased by $7.4 million to $9.0 million as of March 31, 2015 from $16.4 million as of September 30, 2014 . At March 31, 2015 , cash equivalents consisted of money market funds which totaled $0.5 million.

Significant uses of cash for the six months ended March 31, 2015 included the net loss of approximately $1.1 million , an increase in accounts receivable of approximately $3.3 million , an increase in inventories of approximately $0.7 million , a decrease in deferred revenue of approximately $1.0 million, dividends paid of approximately $0.8 million, an increase in refundable income taxes of approximately $0.6 million, a decrease from the effects of exchange rate on cash of $0.7 million

and an increase in other current assets of approximately $0.3 million . Significant sources of cash included an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $0.8 million .

Cash held by our foreign subsidiaries located in Germany and the United Kingdom totaled approximately $3.4 million as of March 31, 2015 and $7.1 million as of September 30, 2014 . This cash is included in our total cash and cash equivalents reported above. We consider this cash to be permanently reinvested into these foreign locations.

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

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

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2015. Our chief executive officer, our chief financial officer, and other members of our senior management team supervised and participated in this evaluation. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2015, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, due to the fact that we are not yet able to conclude that the material weakness described in this Item 4 has been remediated by the changes we made in response to that material weakness.

Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

As we have previously reported on our annual report for the period ended September 30, 2014, management identified a material weakness as of March 31, 2014. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected in a timely basis.

The material weakness was in connection with our determination that we did not sufficiently assess and apply certain aspects of ASC 605-45-45, Revenue Recognition − Principal Agent Considerations , to the particular facts and circumstances of certain of our revenue arrangements. This ASC (formerly contained in EITF 99-19), includes indicators of gross versus net revenue arrangements. We therefore determined that this failure to accurately assess an accounting principle amounted to a material weakness in our controls over financial reporting. As a result, we had concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2014. Although we have implemented changes to our internal controls over financial reporting as described below, at this time we cannot conclude that the material weakness has been remediated.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, in response to the identification of the material weakness referred to above, management assessed various alternatives to modify our existing internal control processes and systems to remediate this material weakness. We have implemented enhanced internal auditing procedures whereby revenue transactions are being put through a more rigorous review process at the corporate level to ensure the correct accounting methodology is applied to all revenue transactions. We incorporated this process into our existing internal control structure to ensure that we applied the appropriate accounting for these transactions.
