The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and its variable interest entity ("VIE"). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on substantially the same basis as our annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract based on a consensus of the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) that requires implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements (CCAs) to be deferred and recognized over the term of the arrangement, if those costs would be capitalized by the customer in a software licensing arrangement under the internal-use software guidance in ASC 350-40, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software”. The ASU does not affect the accounting by cloud service providers, other software vendors or customers’ accounting for software licensing arrangements. The ASU will require companies to recognize deferred implementation costs to expense over the ‘term of the hosting arrangement’. Under the ASU, the term of the hosting arrangement comprises the non-cancellable period of the CCA plus any optional renewal periods that are reasonably certain to be exercised by the customer or for which exercise of the option is controlled by the vendor. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, and we will continue to assess the standard and make a determination later.
Fair Value Measurement. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13: Fair Value Measurement: Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement which eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure
7

requirements for fair value measurements as part of its disclosure framework project. Entities will no longer be required to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, but public companies will be required to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, but entities are permitted to early adopt either the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify the disclosure requirements. The new standard will not have an impact on our results of operations, but it will significantly modify our disclosures around fair value measurements.
Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13: Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current US GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. The update is intended to provide financial statement users with more useful information about expected credit losses. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect, if any, that the guidance will have on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
NOTE 4 - LEASES
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) which was modified by subsequently issued ASUs 2018-01, 2018-10, 2018-11 and 2018-20. The update requires organizations that lease assets ("lessees") to recognize the assets and liabilities of the rights and obligations created by leases with terms of more than 12 months. The recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee remains dependent on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The criteria for determining whether a lease is a finance or operating lease was not significantly changed by this ASU. The ASU also requires additional disclosure of the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases, including qualitative and quantitative requirements. This pronouncement was effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption was permitted.
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases: Targeted Improvements (Topic 842). ASU 2018-11 provided additional relief in the comparative reporting requirements for initial adoption of ASC 842. Prior to ASU 2018-11, a modified retrospective transition was required for financing or operating leases existing at or entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. ASU 2018-11 provided an additional transition method to the existing transition method by allowing entities to initially apply the new leases standard at the adoption date (such as January 1, 2019, for calendar year-end public business entities) and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption without adjustment to the financial statements for periods prior to adoption.
The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2019. We elected to apply the current period transition approach as introduced by ASU 2018-11 for our transition at January 1, 2019 and we elected to apply the following practical expedients and accounting policy decisions.
We elected a package of transition expedients that allowed us to forgo reassessing certain conclusions reached under ASC 840 which must be elected together. All expedients in this package were applied together for all leases that commenced before the effective date, January 1, 2019, of ASC 842. As a result, in transitioning to ASC 842, for existing leases as of 1/1/2019, we continued to use judgments made under ASC 840 related to embedded leases, lease classification and accounting for initial direct costs. We generally have four classes of leased assets : Real Estate related properties (such as office space, warehouses, distribution centers and land), Automobiles, Office Equipment and Manufacturing Equipment and do not utilize finance leases.
In addition, we have chosen, as an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset, not to separate nonlease components from the associated lease for all of our leased asset classes, except for Real Estate related leases. As a result, for classes of Automobiles, Office Equipment and Manufacturing Equipment, we account for each separate lease component and the nonlease components associated with that lease as a single lease component.
For short-term leases as defined under ASC 842, we elected the short-term lease exception pursuant to ASC 842 to all classes of our leased assets. We do not recognize a lease liability or a right of use asset on our consolidated balance sheets for our leased assets with an original lease term of twelve months or less. Instead, we recognize the lease payments in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred and disclose in the notes to the consolidated financial statements our short-term lease expense.
The new standard did have a material impact on our consolidated balance sheets related to recording right-of-use (ROU) assets and the corresponding lease liabilities for our inventory of operating leases. In January 2019, we recorded a ROU Asset and total lease liability obligations of approximately $72 million each. The new standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated statements of operations and had no impact on cash flows.

We lease office space, warehouses, land, automobiles, and office and manufacturing equipment. All of our leases are classified as operating leases.
Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 month to 12 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 14 years. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. Our lease agreements do not include options to purchase the leased property.
The lease expenses were as follows (in thousands):

Note: As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments for lease commenced on or after January 1, 2019. We used our incremental borrowing rate as of the transition date of January 1, 2019 for operating leases that commenced prior to transition.

NOTE 5 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Authoritative guidance for financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis applies to all financial assets and financial liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. Fair value, as defined in the authoritative guidance, is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The authoritative guidance affects the fair value measurement of an investment with quoted market prices in an active market for identical instruments, which must be classified in one of the following categories:
Level 1 Inputs
Level 1 inputs come from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Inputs
Level 2 inputs are other than quoted prices that are observable for an asset or liability. These inputs include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data by correlation or other means.
10

Level 3 Inputs
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability which require the Company's own assumptions.
Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.
Our acquisitions may include contingent consideration as part of the purchase price. The fair value of the contingent consideration is estimated as of the acquisition date based on the present value of the contingent payments to be made using a weighted probability of possible payments. The unobservable inputs used in the determination of the fair value of the contingent consideration include managements assumptions about the likelihood of payment based on the established benchmarks and discount rates based on an internal rate of return analysis. The fair value measurement includes inputs that are Level 3 classified as discussed above, as they are not observable in the market. Should actual results increase or decrease as compared to the assumption used in our analysis, the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations will increase or decrease, up to the contracted limit, as applicable. Changes in the fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration are measured each reporting period and reflected in our results of operations. As of June 30, 2019, we recorded a $2.9 million liability for contingent consideration associated with the acquisition of Application Specialties Inc. ("ASI") in other current and long-term liabilities.
For the Company's assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), the following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for each category therein, and gains or losses recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2019:

Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
| Contingent Liability for Accrued Consideration
| (in thousands)
Beginning balance at December 31, 2018 | $ | 4,319 |
Acquisitions and settlements |
Acquisitions | — |
Settlements | (1,500 | )
Total remeasurement adjustments: |
Changes in fair value recorded in other (income) expense, net | 66 |
*Ending Balance at June 30, 2019 | $ | 2,885 |
The amount of total losses for the quarter included in earnings or changes to net assets, attributable to changes in unrealized losses relating to liabilities still held at June 30, 2019. | $ | 66 |
* Included in other current and long-term liabilities |  |

Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company's contingent consideration liabilities designated as Level 3 are as follows:

(in thousands, unaudited) | Fair value at June 30, 2019 | Valuation Technique | Significant Unobservable Inputs
Contingent consideration: (ASI acquisition) | $ | 2,885 |  | Discounted cash flow | Annualized EBITDA and probability of achievement

Sensitivity to Changes in Significant Unobservable Inputs
As presented in the table above, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of contingent consideration related to the acquisition of ASI are annualized earnings before interest, tax, deprecation and amortization ("EBITDA") forecasts
11

developed by the Company's management and the probability of achievement of those EBITDA results. The discount rate used in the calculation was 7.3%. Significant increases (decreases) in these unobservable inputs in isolation would result in a significantly (lower) higher fair value measurement.
Other financial instruments not measured at fair value on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, but which require disclosure of their fair values include: cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable and accrued expenses, accrued payroll and related benefits, and the revolving line of credit and term loan debt under our syndicated credit agreement facility. The Company believes that the estimated fair value of such instruments at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 approximates their carrying value as reported on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
NOTE 6 – INVENTORIES
The carrying values of inventories are as follows (in thousands):

| June 30, 2019 |  | December 31, 2018

Inventories | $ | 128,012 |  |  | $ | 114,830 |

NOTE 7 – COSTS AND ESTIMATED PROFITS ON UNCOMPLETED CONTRACTS
Under our customized pump production contracts in our IPS segment, amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones, completion of specified units, or completion of a contract. Generally, billing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in contract assets. Our contract assets are presented as “cost and estimated profits in excess of billings” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. However, we sometimes receive advances or deposits from our customers before revenue is recognized, resulting in contract liabilities that are presented as “Billings in excess of costs and estimated profits” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Costs and estimated profits on uncompleted contracts and related amounts billed were as follows (in thousands):

| June 30, 2019 |  | December 31, 2018
Costs incurred on uncompleted contracts | $ | 71,489 |  |  | $ | 53,595 |
Estimated profits, thereon | 8,587 |  |  | 6,847 |
Total | 80,076 |  |  | 60,442 |
Less: billings to date | 50,547 |  |  | 38,662 |
Net | $ | 29,529 |  |  | $ | 21,780 |

Such amounts were included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 under the following captions (in thousands):

| June 30, 2019 |  | December 31, 2018
Costs and estimated profits in excess of billings | $ | 35,484 |  |  | $ | 32,514 |
Billings in excess of costs and estimated profits | (5,968 | ) |  | (10,696 | )
Translation adjustment | 13 |  |  | (38 | )
Net | $ | 29,529 |  |  | $ | 21,780 |

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, $8.9 million of the balances that were previously classified as contract liabilities at the beginning of the period shipped. Contract assets and liability changes were primarily due to normal activity and timing differences between our performance and customer payments.

NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rate from continuing operations was a tax expense of 25.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to a tax expense of 25.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Compared to the U.S. statutory rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019, the effective tax rate was increased by state taxes, foreign taxes and nondeductible expenses partially offset by research and development tax credits, foreign tax credits, other tax credits, and a favorable statutory tax rate change in a foreign jurisdiction. Compared to the U.S. statutory rate for the six months ended June 30, 2018, the effective tax rate was increased by state taxes, foreign taxes and nondeductible expenses partially offset by research and development tax credits and other tax credits.
To the extent penalties and interest would be assessed on any underpayment of income tax, such accrued amounts would be classified as a component of income tax provision (benefit) in the financial statements consistent with the Company’s policy.
NOTE 9 – LONG-TERM DEBT
The components of the Company's long-term debt consisted of the following (in thousands):

Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2018
SALES. Sales for the three months ended June 30, 2019 increased $22.1 million, or 7.1%, to approximately $333.3 million from $311.2 million for the prior year's corresponding period. This sales increase is the result of an increase in our SCS, IPS and SC segments of $8.9 million, $6.8 million and $6.4 million, respectively. The fluctuations in sales is further explained in our business segment discussions below.

Supply Chain Services segment. Sales for the SCS segment increased by $8.9 million, or 20.6%, for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the prior year's corresponding period. The improved sales are primarily related to increased sales to customers in the medical device, aerospace, oil and gas and food and beverage industries as a result of new locations.
Innovative Pumping Solutions segment. Sales for the IPS segment increased by $6.8 million, or 9.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the prior year's corresponding period. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in the capital spending by oil and gas producers and related businesses stemming from an increase in U.S. crude oil production. In addition there was an increase in the worldwide rig count partially offset by a decline in the North American rig count during the first six months of 2019 compared to the prior year corresponding period. This level of IPS sales might continue, or improve, during the remainder of 2019, if the overall rig count and U.S. crude oil production remain at levels experienced during the first six months of 2019.
Service Centers segment. Sales for the Service Centers segment increased by $6.4 million, or 3.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the prior year's corresponding period. This sales increase is primarily the result of increased sales of rotating equipment and metal working products to customers engaged in the late upstream, midstream or downstream oil and gas markets or manufacturing equipment for these markets in connection with increased capital spending by oil and gas producers. If the overall rig count and U.S. crude oil production remain at levels experienced during the first six months of 2019, this level of sales to the oil and gas industry might continue, or improve, during the remainder of 2019.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2019 increased by approximately 25 basis points from the prior year's corresponding period. The increase in the gross profit percentage is primarily the result of an approximate 377 basis point increase in the gross profit percentage in our IPS segment, partially offset by 101 basis point decrease in the gross profit percentage in our SCS segment and 62 basis point decrease in the gross profit percentage in our SC segment. Gross profit for the IPS segment increased as a result of an increase in the capital spending by oil and gas producers and related businesses stemming from an increase in the overall rig count and U.S. crude oil production compared to the corresponding period in 2018.
Innovative Pumping Solutions segment. As a percentage of sales, the second quarter gross profit percentage for the IPS segment increased approximately 377 basis points from the prior year's corresponding period primarily as a result of an increase in utilization and capacity within IPS' engineered-to-order business and an overall improvement in the pricing environment driven by an increase in capital spending by oil and gas producers. Additionally, gross profit margins for individual orders have continued to improve because of the increase in sales of built to order customer specific products. Operating income for the IPS segment increased $3.1 million or 34.3%, primarily as a result of the above mentioned increase in sales.
Service Centers segment. As a percentage of sales, the second quarter gross profit percentage for the Service Centers decreased approximately 62 basis points from the prior year's corresponding period. This was primarily as a result of sales mix and price increases from vendors. Operating income for the Service Centers segment increased $1.3 million, or 5.9%. The increase in operating income is primarily the result of the improved sales.
Supply Chain Services segment. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased approximately 101 basis points, compared to the prior year's corresponding period. This was primarily as a result of costs associated with new customer implementation. Operating income for the second quarter of 2019 decreased $0.5 million compared to the prior year's corresponding period mainly due to an increase in SG&A expense of $2.0 million primarily related to payroll and incentive compensation offset by an increase in gross profit of $1.5 million.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE ("SG&A"). Selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019 increased by approximately $4.1 million, or 6.3%, to $69.1 million from $65.1 million for the prior year's corresponding period. The overall increase in SG&A is the result of increased payroll, incentive compensation and related taxes and 401(k) expenses primarily due to increased headcount. The remaining increase in SG&A expense for the second quarter of 2019, is a result of the increase in sales. The second quarter 2019 expense decreased 16 basis points to 20.7% from 20.9% for the prior year's corresponding period primarily as a result of the fixed cost leverage nature of SG&A.
OPERATING INCOME. Operating income for the second quarter of 2019 increased by $2.8 million to $22.8 million, from $20.1 million in the prior year's corresponding period. This increase in operating income is primarily related to the increase in sales discussed above.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the second quarter of 2019 decreased $1.3 million compared with the prior year's corresponding period mainly due to third party fees of $0.9 million and $60 thousand of accelerated deferred debt issuance cost in connection with the Repricing Amendment in June 2018.

INCOME TAXES. Our effective tax rate from continuing operations was a tax expense of 24.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to a tax expense of 24.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Compared to the U.S. statutory rate for the three months ended June 30, 2019, the effective tax rate was increased by state taxes, foreign taxes, and nondeductible expenses. The effective tax rate was decreased by research and development tax credits, foreign tax credits, other tax credits, and a favorable statutory rate change in a foreign jurisdiction.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
General Overview
As of June 30, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $25.6 million and bank and other borrowings of $239.6 million. We have an $85 million Asset-Based loan facility that is due to mature in August 2022, under which we had no borrowing outstanding as of June 30, 2019.
Our primary source of capital is cash flow from operations, supplemented as necessary by bank borrowings or other sources of financing. As a distributor of MRO products and services and fabricator of custom pumps and packages, working capital can fluctuate as a result of changes in inventory levels, accounts receivable and costs in excess of billings for project work. Additional cash is required for capital items for information technology, warehouse equipment, leasehold improvements, pump manufacturing equipment and safety services equipment. We also require cash to pay our lease obligations and to service our debt.
The following table summarizes our net cash flows used in operating activities, net cash used in investing activities and net cash used in financing activities for the periods presented (in thousands):

| Six Months Ended June 30,
| 2019 |  | 2018
Net Cash Used in: |  |  |
Operating Activities | $ | (3,460 | ) |  | $ | (6,983 | )
Investing Activities | (8,550 | ) |  | (13,608 | )
Financing Activities | (3,267 | ) |  | (1,929 | )
Effect of Foreign Currency | 311 |  |  | (171 | )
Net Change in Cash | $ | (14,966 | ) |  | $ | (22,691 | )

Operating Activities
The Company used $3.5 million of cash in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to using $7.0 million of cash during the prior year's corresponding period. The $3.5 million decrease in the amount of cash used between the two periods was primarily driven by changes in costs and estimated profits in excess of billings as a result of timing or work performed and billing associated with project activity at our IPS segment.
Investing Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, net cash used in investing activities was $8.6 million compared to $13.6 million in the corresponding period in 2018. This $5.0 million decrease was primarily driven by the purchase of ASI in 2018 partially offset by investing in capital equipment and leasehold improvements. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, purchases of property and equipment was approximately $8.6 million.
22

Financing Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, net cash used in financing activities was $3.3 million, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $1.9 million for the corresponding period in 2018. The activity in the period was primarily attributed to the payment of contingent consideration associated with the purchase of ASI.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the amount available to be borrowed under our credit facility increased to $81.0 million compared to $79.3 million at December 31, 2018. This was the result of $4.0 million in letters of credit outstanding as of June 30, 2019 compared to $5.7 million in letters of credit outstanding as of December 31, 2018.
We believe this is adequate funding to support working capital needs within the business.
Funding Commitments
We intend to pursue additional acquisition targets, but the timing, size or success of any acquisition effort and the related potential capital commitments cannot be determined with certainty. We continue to expect to fund future acquisitions primarily with cash flows from operations and borrowings, including the undrawn portion of the credit facility or new debt issuances, but may also issue additional equity either directly or in connection with acquisitions. There can be no assurance that additional financing for acquisitions will be available at terms acceptable to us.
We believe our cash generated from operations will meet our normal working capital needs during the next twelve months. However, we may require additional debt outside of our credit facilities or equity financing to fund potential acquisitions. Such additional financings may include additional bank debt or the public or private sale of debt or equity securities. In connection with any such financing, we may issue securities that substantially dilute the interests of our shareholders.
DISCUSSION OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND BUSINESS POLICIES
Critical accounting and business policies are those that are both most important to the portrayal of a company's financial position and results of operations, and require management's subjective or complex judgments. These policies have been discussed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of DXP.
The Company's condensed financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and its variable interest entity ("VIE"). The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on substantially the same basis as our annual Consolidated Financial Statements and should be read in conjunction with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. For a more complete discussion of our significant accounting policies and business practices, refer to the consolidated annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 8, 2019. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full fiscal year.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
See Note 3 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding recent accounting pronouncements.
ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Item 7A, 'Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,' of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Our exposures to market risk have not changed materially since December 31, 2018.
ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is reported, processed, and summarized within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. As of June 30, 2019, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
23

and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, and as described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2019.
Previously Reported Material Weakness
As reported in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of that date because of a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting. We concluded that we had material weaknesses in our control environment and monitoring to support the financial reporting process. We specifically did not maintain effective management review controls over the monitoring and review of certain accounts; and management did not effectively design, document nor monitor (review, evaluate and assess) the key internal control activities that provide the accounting information contained in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Remediation Plans
We are committed to remediating the material weaknesses and, as such, implemented changes to our internal control over financial reporting. We implemented additional procedures to address the underlying causes of the material weaknesses throughout 2018 and beyond, and continue to implement changes and improvements in our internal control over financial reporting to remediate the control deficiencies that caused the material weaknesses. We believe with full implementation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of the newly implemented and revised controls, the actions previously described in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 will successfully remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Management continues to report regularly to the Audit Committee regarding the status of the implementation activities and progress.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except as described above, there are no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Controls
Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting can also be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
