Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (this “Amended Filing”) amends our original Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 (the “Original Filing”). The purpose of this Amended Filing is to revise Part I, Item 4 to reflect management’s conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at December 31, 2015 due to a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting identified subsequent to the issuance of our Original Filing. Other than the inclusion with this Amended Filing of new certifications required by management (and related amendment to the Exhibit Index to reflect the addition of such certifications), this Amended Filing speaks only as of the date of the Original Filing and does not modify or update any other disclosures contained in our Original Filing. This Amended Filing should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing and reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the Original Filing.

PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2015. At the time that the Original Filing was filed on February 5, 2016, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) were not effective as of December 31, 2015.

Subsequent to that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2015, as the material weakness described below was deemed to exist as of December 31, 2015.

Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In April 2016, the Company became aware of royalty overpayments made by customers pursuant to license agreements for products incorporating certain of the Company’s technologies no longer covered by an unexpired patent.  The Company did not identify that certain amounts reported by the customers were not in accordance with the terms of the license agreement and should have been deferred or refunded to the customers, resulting in an overstatement of revenue.  As a result of the identification of the overstatement of royalty revenue, management reevaluated the design and operating effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and concluded that its internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2015 was not effective due to a material weakness in the design and operating effectiveness of its transactional and review controls related to recognition of royalty revenue.  A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because the deficiencies related to the Company’s controls over recognition of royalty revenue could result in a misstatement of royalty revenue and related accounts and disclosures that could be material to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements, such deficiencies represent a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, management has revised its report on internal control over financial reporting.

Management analyzed the impact of the overstatement of royalty revenue resulting from the identified material weakness and concluded that it did not have a material impact on our previously issued annual or interim consolidated financial statements. Notwithstanding the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, we have concluded that the interim consolidated financial statements and other financial information included in the Original Filing, fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of, and for, the periods presented.

The foregoing has been approved by our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who have been involved with the reassessment and analysis of our internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2015 that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Plan for Remediation of Material Weakness

With oversight from the Audit Committee, the Company’s management is in the process of developing and implementing remediation plans to address the material weakness described above.
