CHECKLIST APPLICATIONThe Checklist for Quarterly Report on SEC Form 10-Q is now available as part of Deloitte’s Checklist application (https://checklist.disclosureanalytics.deloitte.com). When setting up a new checklist, select “SEC — Interim Checklist” in the “Checklist Type” drop-down menu.

INTRODUCTIONU.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Form 10-Q is used for quarterly reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). This checklist summarizes the disclosure requirements of Form 10-Q. It is not to be considered “all inclusive” and is not a substitute for your understanding of the requirements of the form. You are presumed to have a thorough understanding of the rules, regulations, and interpretations of the SEC and its staff and should refer to those rules, regulations, and interpretations, as necessary, in considering particular items in the checklist.

Some of the items in this checklist make reference to accounting principles contained in the Accounting Standards Codification and certain SEC regulations and Staff Accounting Bulletins (SAB). Registrants are required, under SEC rules, to obtain an independent registered public accountant’s review of interim financial information prior to the filing of Form 10-Q with the Commission. All steps in this checklist should be initialed and referenced, and omissions of data should be explained.

This checklist should not be considered “all inclusive” but should be used in conjunction with SEC Compliance Checklist — General (covering the requirements of Regulations S-K, S-X, and the tests for required disclosures); and the applicable sections of Regulations S-K and S-X. Selected SEC rules, regulations.

Interpretive information relating to SEC reporting and disclosure may be obtained from the Securities and Exchange Commission Division of Corporation Finance’s Financial Reporting Manual available electronically on the SEC website. This manual has been updated periodically since its

release and is available electronically on the SEC website at http://www.sec.gov/divisions/c o rpfin/cffinanci a lrep o rtingm a nual.shtml . Additional SEC interpretive material can be found using the various links on the Accounting and Financial Reporting Guidance page located on the SEC website at http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/cfrep o rtin g guidance.shtml .

Use of This ChecklistThis checklist is provided solely for your intended use and should not be provided to any other person or entity.

Deloitte & Touche LLP is not, by means of this checklist, rendering accounting or other professional advice or services. This checklist is not a substitute for professional advice or services, nor should it be used as the basis for any decision or action that may affect your business.

Deloitte & Touche LLP shall not be responsible for any loss sustained by any person who relies on this checklist.

Disclosure Effectiveness ConsiderationsWhen preparing disclosures, registrants should critically assess the nature and extent of their disclosures and provide disclosure on those matters that are significant and most relevant to the entity. The SEC staff has stated that effective disclosures are those that are clear and concise and focus on matters that are both material and specific to the registrant. Appropriate emphasis is also critical. Effective disclosures should emphasize those matters that are most relevant and material to the entity and deemphasize — or exclude entirely — matters that are not. Consequently, registrants are encouraged to continually reevaluate their disclosures and modify them when the nature or relevance of information has changed.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES As reflected in its filing reviews and comment letters, speeches, and updated C&DI’s, the SEC is continuing to urge registrants to take a fresh look at their use and disclosure of non-GAAP measures, including periodic reports such as Forms 10-K and 10-Q and earnings releases. The Deloitte publication A Roadmap to Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Metrics is a helpful resource for engagement teams to consider when considering the guidance around non-GAAP financial measures. For Covid-related non-GAAP financial measures refer to our Financial Reporting Alert 20-4 for more information.

Checklist for Quarterly Report on SEC Form 10-Q (1-21)

Finalized Rules and Effective DatesSEC Issues Final Rule to Simplify Disclosure Requirements Related to Guarantors and Collateralizations of Securities

On March 2, 2020, the SEC issued a final rule that amends the disclosure requirements related to certain registered securities under SEC Regulation S-X, Rules 3-10 and 3-16 which currently require separate financial statements for:

• Subsidiary issuers and guarantors of registered debt securities unless certain exceptions are met.

• Affiliates that collateralize registered securities offerings if the affiliates’ securities are a substantial portion of the collateral. The final rule is generally effective for filings on or after January 4, 2021. However, early application is permitted.

Refer to our March 10, 2020, Deloitte Heads Up.

SEC Expands Qualifications for Nonaccelerated Filer Status

On March 12, 2020, the SEC issued a final rule that amends the eligibility criteria for nonaccelerated filer status to include issuers that qualify as SRCs with annual revenues of less than $100 million and public float of less than $700 million. The most significant of these accommodations is that nonaccelerated filers are not subject to the requirement under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) that an issuer obtain an audit report on internal control over financial reporting (ICFR) from its independent auditor.

Refer to our March 19, 2020, Deloitte Heads Up.

SEC Issues Final Rule to Improve Disclosures for Business Acquisitions and Dispositions

On May 20, 2020, the SEC issued a final rule that amends the financial statement requirements for acquisitions and dispositions of businesses, including real estate operations, and related pro forma financial information. The final rule will become effective at the beginning of the registrant’s fiscal year that starts after December 31, 2020 (e.g., the mandatory compliance date would be January 1, 2021, for calendar-year-end companies). However, voluntary compliance is permitted before the effective date as long as the final rule is applied in its entirety on that date. Pro formas, disposition rules for business dispositions, and equity method investments were amended. Refer to our June 2, 2020, Deloitte Heads Up.

SEC Modernizes Certain Regulation S-K Disclosure Requirements

On August 26, 2020, the SEC issued a final rule that modernizes the disclosure requirements in Regulation S-K, Item 101, “Description of Business”; Item 103, “Legal Proceedings”; and Item 105, “Risk Factors.” The final rule is effective

Checklist for Quarterly Report on SEC Form 10-Q (1-21)

November 9, 2020 for all fillings filed after this date. Refer to our September 3, 2020, Deloitte Heads Up.

SEC Modernizes MD&A and Related Financial Disclosure Requirements

On November 19, 2020, the SEC issued a final rule that modernizes and simplifies Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) and certain financial disclosure requirements in SEC Regulation S-K. The final rule is effective for filings filed after February 10, 2021 for early adoption and must be applied in a registrant’s first fiscal year ending on or after August 9, 2021 mandatory compliance date. Registrants may early adopt on an item-by-item basis after the effective date; however, a registrant must fully comply with each adopted item in its entirety. Refer to our November 24, 2020, Deloitte Heads Up .

COVID-19Entities must carefully consider their unique circumstances and risk exposures when analyzing how recent events may affect their financial reporting. Specifically, financial reporting and related financial statement disclosures need to convey all material current or potential effects of COVID-19. It is also critical that management understand the risks that entities are dealing with and how such risks may affect them. SEC registrants must also consider the need to disclose information in other areas of an SEC filing, such as MD&A or risk factors, in addition to the footnotes to their financial statements.

Refer to auditing, accounting, and reporting resources related to COVID-19. Consider disclosure guide 9 and 9A on some critical questions to consider. Refer to our Financial Reporting Alert 20-2.

Smaller Reporting CompaniesThe SEC allows an SRC to use the scaled (generally reduced) disclosure and reporting requirements.

The SRC may choose, on an item-by-item basis within any filing, whether to apply Regulation S-K’s scaled disclosure requirements or its more rigorous disclosure requirements for larger public companies. Nevertheless, the SEC has stressed the importance of consistent disclosures that allow investors to make period-to-period comparisons, whether quarterly or annually.

In 2018, the SEC issued a final rule that amends the definition of a “smaller reporting company” (SRC) to expand the number of companies that qualify for this classification and are therefore able to take advantage of the scaled disclosure requirements that apply to such entities. Refer to the final rule as well as Deloitte’s July 2, 2018, Heads Up for the new, expanded definition of a smaller reporting company as well as the SEC Release Amendments to the Smaller Reporting Company Definition — A Small Entity Compliance Guide for Issuers, issued on

SRCs may be eligible to apply Regulation S-K’s and Regulation S-X’s scaled disclosure requirements in certain registration statement forms and periodic reports. Companies that qualify as SRCs may choose to apply the scaled disclosures on an item-by-item (or an “a la carte”) basis. However, their disclosures should be consistent from year to year and must comply with federal securities laws, including those requiring disclosures not to be misleading.

In determining whether a company is eligible for treatment as an SRC Company,” company management should consult their legal counsel.

The following table shows the item number, caption and disclosure requirement (which refers to the items and rules in Regulations S-K and S-X) of the disclosure instructions for the various items of a Form 10-Q that apply to companies that are not smaller reporting companies and the related scaling offered to smaller reporting companies.

Equity-method investees

Rule 8-03(b)(3) of Regulation S-X requires the interim financial statements of a smaller reporting company to disclose summarized income statement information for equity-method investees that constitute 20 percent or more of the smaller reporting company’s consolidated assets, equity or income from continuing operations attributable to the registrant. While Rule 8-03(b)(3) indicates that significance should be measured on the basis of “a registrant’s consolidated assets, equity or income from continuing operations,” note 2 to paragraph 2420.9 of the FRM clarifies that, notwithstanding Rule 8-03(b)(3)’s reference to a registrant’s consolidated equity, an SRC registrant should compute significance according to the tests outlined in Rule 1-02(w). That is, an SRC registrant should use the investment, income, and asset tests.

Subsidiary issuers and guarantors

Effective for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for periods ending after January 4, 2021, Rule 13-01 only requires reporting of the most interim periods. SRC will no longer be permitted to omit disclosures about subsidiary guarantors or co-issuers of their registered debt from their interim reports on Form 10-Q.

THIS CHECKLIST IS NOT SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR USE BY SMALLER REPORTING COMPANIES.

Checklist for Quarterly Report on SEC Form 10-Q (1-21)

For reporting requirements for short periods that resulted from a change in fiscal year-end, see Exchange Act Rules 13a-10 and 15d-10.

If all or any portion of Form 10-Q cannot be filed timely without unreasonable effort or expense, an automatic extension of up to five calendar days from the prescribed due date is available. Notification on Form 12b-25 is to be filed with the SEC, giving reasons for the delay, and should be filed no later than one business day after the due date of the report. Should one of the causes of the delay be the inability of the auditor to complete its review, a statement provided by the auditor to that effect is to be attached as an exhibit to Form 12b-25.

Basis of PreparationThe financial statements are to be prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and the accounting principles contained in: Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 270, Interim Reporting (“ASC 270”) , ASC 235, Notes to Financial Statements, and ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (“ASC 250”) . SAB Topic 6.G.2 contains the SEC staff’s views concerning: (1) form of condensed financial statements and (2) reporting requirements for accounting changes in Form 10-Q.

Incorporation by ReferenceIf the Company sends its stockholders (or otherwise publishes) within the period prescribed for filing the Form 10-Q a document containing information meeting some or all of the requirements of Part I (e.g., an informal quarterly report to shareholders), the information called for by Part I may be incorporated by reference from the published document, in answer (or partial answer) to any item(s) of Part I. Copies of the document must be filed as an exhibit. Other information may be incorporated by reference in answer (or partial answer) to any item(s) of Part II under Exchange Act Rule 12b-23.

General RequirementsExchange Act Regulation 12B contains general requirements, such as the kind and size of paper to be used, the legibility of the report, the information to be given whenever the title of securities is required to be stated, and the filing of the report. In addition, each principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the registrant must provide the certification required under Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14.

Regulation 12B should be read in conjunction with Regulation S-T, which governs the preparation and submission of documents in electronic format. Many provisions relating to the preparation and submission of documents in paper format have been superseded by the provisions of Regulation S-T.

Checklist for Quarterly Report on SEC Form 10-Q (1-21)

The SEC has amended Rule 302(b) of Regulation S-T to permit a signatory to an electronic filing on EDGAR who follows certain procedures to sign an authentication document through an electronic signature that meets certain requirements specified in the EDGAR Filer Manual. This amendment provides signatories with the option of signing an authentication document either manually or electronically.

Omission of Information by Certain Wholly Owned SubsidiariesIf on the date of the filing of its report on Form 10-Q, the registrant meets the conditions specified in paragraph (1) below, then such registrant may omit the information called for in the items specified in paragraph (2) below.

1. Conditions for availability of the relief specified in paragraph (2) below:

a. All of the registrant’s equity securities are owned, either directly or indirectly, by a single person which is a reporting company under the Exchange Act and which has filed all the material required to be filed pursuant to Section 13, 14, or 15(d) thereof, as applicable;

b. During the preceding 36 calendar months and any subsequent period of days, there has not been any material default in the payment of principal, interest, a sinking or purchase fund installment, or any other material default not cured within 30 days, with respect to any indebtedness of the registrant or its subsidiaries, and there has not been any material default in the payment of rentals under material long-term leases; and

c. There is prominently set forth, on the cover page of the Form 10-Q, a statement that the registrant meets the conditions set forth in General Instruction H(1)(a) and (b) of Form 10-Q and is therefore filing this form with the reduced disclosure format.

2. Registrants meeting the conditions specified in paragraph (1) above are entitled to the following relief:

a. Such registrants may omit the information called for by Item 2 of Part I, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A), provided that the registrant includes in the Form 10-Q a management’s narrative analysis of the results of operations explaining the reasons for material changes in the amount of revenue and expense items between the most recent fiscal year-to-date period presented and the corresponding year-to-date period in the preceding fiscal year. Explanations of material changes should include, but not be limited to, changes in the various elements which determine revenue and expense levels such as unit sales volume, prices charged and paid, production levels, production cost variances, labor costs, and discretionary spending programs. In addition, the analysis should include an explanation of the effect of any changes in accounting principles and practices or method of application that have a material effect on net income as reported.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1. Financial Statements

Financial statements required may be condensed and unaudited. Separate statements of other entities otherwise required by Regulation S-X may be omitted [S-X Rule 10-01(a)(l)].

The periods for which interim statements are required in registration statements are given in Regulation S-X Rules 3-01 through 3-04. For Form 10-Q, the following are required [S-X Rule 10-01]:

1.Balance Sheet

a. Periods required:

(1) End of current quarter.

(2) End of preceding fiscal year (which may be condensed to the same degree as the interim balance sheet).

(3) End of corresponding quarter of preceding year — only if necessary to understand the impact of seasonal fluctuations on financial condition.

Required Contents:

(1) Include only major (numbered) captions as specified in S-X Rule 5-02 (or, for certain specialized industries, the appropriate Article of Rule S-X, if applicable), except for inventories.

Disclose, either on the face of the balance sheet or in the notes, raw materials, work in process, and finished goods, if applicable. The SEC staff believes that management will be able to make reasonable estimates of inventory components based on their knowledge of the registrant’s production cycle, the costs (labor and overhead) associated with this cycle, as well as the relative sales and purchasing volume of the registrant [SAB Topic 6-G(2)(a)(2)].

(2) Major captions may be combined if the test for condensation in Part IV of this checklist is met.

(3) Indicate (a) earnings per share (EPS) applicable to common stock, and (b) the basis and number of shares used in the computation of EPS. See ASC 260-10-50-1 and S-X Rule 10-01(b)(2).

(4) Amounts included in the statement of comprehensive income should be reclassified to conform to the current presentation [SAB Topic 6-

1 Requirements to present an income statement shall be interpreted to mean the statement of comprehensive income, presented in one of the two formats discussed in the comprehensive income section below.

Note — An entity reporting comprehensive income in a single continuous statement must present its components in two sections, net income and other comprehensive income.

(4) Changes in the accumulated balances for each component of other comprehensive income included in that separate component of equity should be presented on the face of the financial statements or as a separate disclosure in the notes.

(6) Reclassification adjustments out of

each class of shares.

Note: Such disclosures can be provided in a separate consolidated statement of changes in equity or in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, or a combination thereof. See the appendix of Financial Reporting Alert 18-11 for examples of two financial statement presentation options for these interim disclosures.

6.Cumulative 12-Month Statements

In addition to the periods mentioned above, the registrant may provide statements of comprehensive income and cash flows for the 12 months ending at the interim reporting date, for both the current and preceding year. This presentation may be particularly useful for seasonal businesses.

[Note: Registrants engaged in seasonal production and sale of a single-crop agricultural commodity may provide comparative 12-month statements ending with the current quarter, in lieu of the year-to-date statements of income and cash flows mentioned above.]

7.Consideration of Material Amounts

Notwithstanding the condensation requirements, S-X Rule 4-02 still applies, and immaterial amounts need not be shown separately.

If during the most recent interim period presented the registrant or any of its consolidated subsidiaries entered into a combination between entities under common control, supplemental disclosure of the separate results of the combined entities for periods prior to the combination shall be given, with appropriate explanations.

8.Footnote Disclosures

The interim financial information must include disclosures (either on the face of the statements or in the accompanying footnotes) sufficient as to make the interim information presented not misleading.

Registrants may presume that users of the interim financial information have read or have access to the audited financial statements for the preceding year, and the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. Thus, footnote disclosure may be omitted, which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the most recent annual report to security holders or the latest audited financial statements (such as statement of accounting policies, details of accounts [which have not changed significantly in amount or composition since the latest year-end], and detailed disclosures prescribed by S-X Rule 4-08 [General Notes to Financial Statements]).

a. Events subsequent to the end of the most recent year that have a material impact on the registrant must be disclosed (e.g., significant changes in accounting principles/practices; estimates inherent in the preparation of the financial statements; status of long-term contracts; capitalization, including significant new borrowings or modification of existing financing arrangements; and changes in the reporting entity resulting from business combinations or dispositions) [ASC 270-10-50-1 and ASC 270-10-50-7].

b. Where material contingencies exist, disclosure must be provided even though a significant change since year-end may not have occurred [ASC 270-10-50-6].

c.All schedules required by Article 12 of Regulation S-X may be omitted.

d. Discontinued operations. If, during any of the periods covered by Form 10-Q, a significant component of the entity was disposed of, the required disclosures vary depending on the nature of the discontinued operation [ASC 205-20-50]. Pro forma information as to a disposition is not required

e. Representation by management [S-X Rule 10-01(b)(8)]. Unaudited interim financial statements furnished are to reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented, and a statement to that effect is to be included in Form 10-Q. The footnotes must include, if applicable, information describing the nature and amount of any adjustments that are other than normal and recurring in nature.

f. Prior-period adjustments [S-X Rule 10-01(b)(7)]. For any material retrospective prior-period adjustment made during any period covered by Form 10-Q, disclose the effect of the change on net income (in total and per share) and upon the balance of retained earnings. If results of operations for any period presented have been adjusted retrospectively by an item subsequent to the initial reporting of such period, similar disclosure of the effect of the change shall be made.

g. Changes in method of accounting [S-X Rule 10-01)(b)(6)]. In addition to the disclosure requirements of ASC 270 and ASC 250, the following must be included:

(1) File as an exhibit (S-K Item 601, Exhibit 18), in the first 10-Q filed after the date of an accounting change, a letter from the independent accountants stating whether the change is to an alternative principle that is preferable under the circumstances. If the change occurs in the fourth quarter, the preferability letter3 may be included in Form 10-K [SAB Topic 6-G(2)(b)(2)]. If the change was made in response to a standard adopted by the FASB, new SEC rule, SAB, or

3 As noted in the 2014 AICPA Conference on Current SEC and PCAOB Developments, registrants may be able to demonstrate that a change in the goodwill impairment testing date is an immaterial change in the application of an accounting principle. The staff indicated that it will no longer request a preferability letter in such instances if the change is prominently disclosed in the registrant’s financial statements.

interpretation, which required such change, no letter is required.

h. Summarized statement of comprehensive income information of (1) majority-owned unconsolidated subsidiaries, and (2) 50 percent-or-less-owned persons may need to be included in a footnote to the condensed statements [S-X Rule 10-01(b)(1)].

On May 20, 2020, the SEC issued a final rule to amend the disclosure requirements for significant acquisitions or dispositions of a business, which aims to improve the information investors receive, reduce complexity and costs, and facilitate timely access to capital. Key changes included (1) modifications to the significance tests including for equity method investments. The amendments must be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2020; however, early application is permitted. See Deloitte’s June 2, 2020, Heads Up for further details.

A company is generally required to include summarized income statement information in a footnote to its interim financial statements for each equity method investment whose significance exceeds 20% under either of the following tests:

• Investment test.

• Income test by using the lesser of significance calculated for the income or revenue component, as applicable. The summarized income statement information for each significant equity method investment should include year-to-date information for both the current and prior-year interim period.

Separate interim financial statements of the EMI are not required.

j. Disclosure of the impact that recently issued accounting standards will have on the financial statements of the registrant when adopted in a future period. The following disclosures should generally be considered by the registrant:

• A brief description of the new standard, the date that adoption is required and the date that the registrant plans to adopt, if earlier.

• A discussion of the methods of adoption allowed by the standard and the method expected to be utilized by the registrant, if determined.

• A discussion of the impact that adoption of the standard is expected to have on the financial statements of the registrant, unless not known or reasonably estimable. In that case, a statement to that effect may be made.

• Disclosure of the potential impact of other significant matters that the registrant believes might result from the adoption of the standard (such as technical violations of debt covenant agreements, planned or intended changes in business practices, etc.) is encouraged. [SAB Topic 11M]

k.Interim Period Financial Statement Disclosures upon Adoption of a New Accounting Standard

When a registrant adopts a new accounting standard in an interim period, the registrant is expected to provide both the annual and the interim period financial statement disclosures prescribed by the new accounting standard, to the extent not duplicative. These disclosures should be included in each quarterly report in the year of adoption. [See guidance in FRM 4 1500, Interim Period Reporting Considerations (All Filings).]

m. Financial statements of issuers and guarantors of securities registered under the Securities Act are to be included in a separate Form 10-Q for each issuer or guarantor unless specifically exempted under Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X. If separate financial statements are required, such financial statements should be as of the same dates, for the same periods, and on the same basis (e.g., GAAP, Article 10 of Regulation S-X) as the registrant’s

financial statements.

The SEC issued a final rule that amends the disclosure requirements related to certain registered securities under SEC Regulation S-X, Rules 3-10 and 3-16, which currently require separate financial statements for:

• Subsidiary issuers and guarantors of registered debt securities unless certain exceptions are met.

• Affiliates that collateralize registered securities offerings if the affiliates’ securities are a substantial portion of the collateral.

The final rule is generally effective for filings on or after January 4, 2021. However, early application is permitted. Refer to Deloitte’s March 10, 2020, Heads Up.

a. Summarized financial information and qualitative disclosures, rather than separate financial statements, may be provided if the guarantor structure meets either of the following requirements:

• The parent company issues or co-issues (on a joint and several basis with one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries) securities that are guaranteed by one or more consolidated subsidiaries.

• A consolidated subsidiary issues or co-issues (with one or more other consolidated subsidiaries of the parent company) the securities, and the securities are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the parent company

b. Alternative financial disclosures are available for qualifying structures only when all of the following conditions are met:

• Each subsidiary issuer/guarantor is consolidated.

• The parent company either issues or guarantees, on a full and unconditional basis, the guaranteed

securities.

c. Eligibility for Narrative Disclosures. A registrant that qualifies for alternative financial disclosures may omit summarized financial information when not material. In addition, Rule 13-01 specifies four circumstances in which a registrant may omit the summarized financial information and instead describe the structure narratively (i.e., provide narrative disclosures):

• The summarized financial information would not be materially different from the consolidated financial statements of the registrant (i.e., nonguarantors are insignificant).

• The amounts presented in the summarized financial information (which excludes investments in nonguarantors) would not be material (i.e., the issuers and guarantors do not have material independent assets and operations).

• A finance subsidiary issues a security fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the parent, and no other subsidiaries guarantee the security.

• A finance subsidiary co-issues a security with the parent, and no other subsidiaries guarantee the security.

e. Required Qualitative Disclosures. To the extent material, the SEC registrant using Alternative Disclosures would be required to disclose:

• A description of the issuers and guarantors.

• The terms and conditions of the guarantees, including whether a subsidiary guarantee is not full and unconditional or joint and several.

• Factors that may affect payments to holders of the guaranteed securities, including, but not limited to:

The relationship and structure between issuers, guarantors, and nonguarantors.

Restrictions on dividends.

Limitations on enforceability of the guarantees.

The rights of noncontrolling interests.

Further, the registrant must file a new exhibit which, for each guaranteed security registered or to be registered, lists the subsidiaries that issue, co-issue, or guarantee the security.

g. Required Alternative Financial Disclosures. Disclosure of the following line items, together with a brief description of the basis of presentation, would be required when summarized financial information of the issuers and guarantors is presented:

• Current and noncurrent assets.

• Current and noncurrent liabilities.

• Redeemable preferred stock.

• Noncontrolling interests.

• Revenues.

• Gross profit.

• Income (loss) from continuing operations.

• Net income (loss).

• Net income (loss) attributable to the entity.

Additional line items may be necessary if such disclosure would be material to an investor’s evaluation of the sufficiency of the guarantee(s).

Transactions between issuers and guarantors presented on a combined basis should be eliminated. Information for nonguarantors or nonissuers should be excluded.

Separate presentation is required for transactions with, and amounts due from or due to, (1) nonguarantor subsidiaries (i.e., those amounts that do not arise from the issuers’ or guarantors’ investment in the nonguarantors) and (2) other related parties.

The information may be presented on a combined basis; however, to the extent that the information provided is applicable to one or more, but not all, issuers and guarantors, separate disclosure of summary financial information may be required for the relevant guarantors and issuers to the extent material. For example, if a subsidiary’s guarantee was not full and unconditional, that fact would be disclosed and separate financial information would be provided for the subsidiary unless such information can be provided narratively

f. Periods Presented. Summarized financial information for only the most recent year-to-date interim period.

g. Location of Alternative Disclosures. For periodic reporting on Form 10-Q, a registrant would be required to provide the disclosures in its MD&A or financial statements. For to be registered securities,

a registrant would be permitted to provide the required disclosures in its MD&A, in its financial statements, or immediately following “Risk Factors” in the registration statement for the offer and sale of the guaranteed securities. If a registrant elects to include the disclosures in its financial statements, such disclosures would be subject to review by its auditors.

h. Suspension of Reporting Requirement. A registrant is permitted to cease providing Alternative Disclosures if the subsidiary issuer’s or guarantor’s reporting obligation has been suspended.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A)

See Regulation S-K, Item 303(b).

Regulation S-K Item 303 disclosures are not generally required for interim periods; however, (1) with respect to off-balance sheet arrangements the discussion should address changes from the previous year when such a discussion would be necessary to an understanding of the disclosure, and (2) with respect to tabular disclosure of contractual obligations the registrant should disclose material changes outside the ordinary course of the registrant’s business during the interim period.

MD&A must be included in Form 10-Q to enable the reader to assess material changes in financial condition and results of operations between the periods specified in (1) and (2) below. MD&A must include a discussion of material changes in liquidity, capital resources, and results of operations, except that the impact of inflation and changing prices on operations for interim periods need not be addressed.

Note: The SEC issued Interpretive Guidance regarding Management’s Discussion and Analysis (SEC Release No. 33-8350). This guidance is intended to elicit more meaningful disclosure in MD&A in a number of areas, including the overall presentation and focus of MD&A, with general emphasis on the discussion and analysis of known trends; demands; commitments; events and uncertainties;

and specific guidance on disclosures about liquidity, capital resources; and critical accounting estimates.

Registrant may presume that users of the interim financial information have read or have access to the discussion and analysis for the preceding fiscal year when preparing the discussion and analysis.

The registrant’s discussion of material changes in results of operations shall identify any significant elements of income or loss from continuing operations that do not arise from or are not necessarily representative of the registrant’s ongoing business.

Registrants are encouraged but are not required to discuss forward-looking information. Any forward-looking information supplied is expressly covered by the safe harbor rule for projections. See Rule 175 under the Securities Act, Rule 3b-6 under the Exchange Act and Securities Act Release No. 6084 (June 25, 1979).

Registrant should disclose:

1. Material changes in financial condition. Discuss material changes from the end of the preceding year to the date of the current interim balance sheet. If the interim statements include an interim balance sheet as of the end of the corresponding quarter of the preceding year, material changes in financial condition from that date to the date of the current interim balance sheet must also be discussed. If discussions of changes from both the end and the corresponding interim date of the preceding year are required, the discussions may be combined.

Also, if an income statement for the most recent quarter (and comparative quarter) is included, discuss material changes with respect to the most recent quarter and the corresponding quarter in the preceding year. Also, if the registrant has elected to provide an income statement for the 12-month period ending at the interim reporting date, MD&A must cover material changes in that 12-month period and the corresponding 12-month period of the preceding year.

3. Material changes in sources of liquidity and related mix.

4. Material changes in capital resources.

5. Material changes in off-balance sheet arrangements.

6. Material changes in contractual obligations that are outside of the normal course of business.[Note, the year-end contractual obligations table is not required for interim reporting purposes.]

7. Registrant should consider the impact of other significant events or circumstances on its MD&A disclosures including, but not limited to those, listed in the “Other Reportable Events” section below.

[Note, a legal proceeding need only be reported in Form 10-Q filed for the quarter in which it first became a reportable event and in subsequent quarters in which there have been material developments.] The final rule increases the quantitative threshold to $300,000 but also permits the registrant to elect a higher threshold, limited to the lesser of $1 million or 1 percent of its current assets on a consolidated basis, if the registrant determines that such threshold is more reasonably designed to result in the disclosure of material environmental proceedings. A registrant must disclose this alternative threshold in each annual and quarterly report.

In addition to disclosing these activities in its Form 10-K or Form 10-Q, the registrant must also file a separate notice through EDGAR (i.e., the IRANNOTICE) that the information required to be disclosed has been included in its annual or quarterly report.

b. Regardless of the significance of the activity, a registrant or any of its affiliates meting any of the disclosure requirements discussed above must disclose any “sanctionable activities” with Iran and Syria as defined in the Iran-Syria Act, including:

[Visit the U.S. Department of State website for a definition of sanctionable activities covered by the Iran-Syria Act.]

(2) Detailed description of each of the foregoing activities.

(4) Nature and extent of the “sanctionable activities.”

(6) The amounts of gross revenue and net profit attributable to each activity.

(8) Whether the registrant, or, if applicable, its affiliate intends to continue the activity.

d. Upon disclosure in Form 10-K or Form 10-Q, the issuer must concurrently file separately with the SEC a notice that the information required to be disclosed has been included in its annual or quarterly report. The SEC staff has issued, Notice required by the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 to be filed through EDGAR that provides that issuers submit these notices on a new form type called IRANNOTICE.

4. Cybersecurity related disclosures — The Division of Corporation issued CF Disclosure Guidance, Topic No. 2: Cybersecurity in October 2011. Further, the staff issued interpretive guidance on February 21, 2018, (Release Nos. 33-10459 and 34-82746) related to cybersecurity disclosures. The above guidance provides the views of the Corp Fin staff regarding disclosure obligations relating to cybersecurity risks and cyber incidents, including possible disclosures of

legal proceedings.

b. The registrant has updated its Form 10Q, Part 2, Item 1A, Risk Factors to address any significant risk associated with potential or actual cybersecurity security-related risk or cyber-attacks.

c.If there have been cybersecurity breaches in the past, disclose such breaches rather than disclosing that there is a risk of attack, including the cybersecurity incident and its consequence to provide context if such breach was not previously disclosed in the Form 10K or if material updates have occurred.

e. The registrant has considered the impact of a security breach or cyber-attack on its Form 10Q, including but not limited to the impact on Part 1, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations and Part 1, Item 4T, Controls and Procedures.

[Note: At the February 2014 Practicing Law Institute “SEC Speaks in 2014 Conference,” the SEC staff reminded registrants that:

Disclosures should be scaled and not include too much detail that could potentially provide a “roadmap” that would expose a registrant to cyber-attack.

Boilerplate cybersecurity disclosures should be avoided and instead should include such information as (1) the aspects of the business that are subject to risks, (2) updates for new information, and (3) cost estimates, if possible and material.

Disclosures should not state that there is a risk of a cybersecurity breach after the occurrence of an actual cyber-attack; rather, such registrants should disclose that they have experienced security breaches or cyber-attacks.

a. The staff often has requested greater disaggregation and more precise labeling when exit and involuntary termination costs are grouped in a note or income statement line item with items unrelated to the exit plan. For the reader’s understanding, the staff has requested that discretionary, or decision-dependent, costs of a period, such as exit costs, be disclosed and explained in MD&A separately. Also, to improve transparency, the staff has requested disclosure of the nature and amounts of additional types of exit costs and other types of restructuring charges that appear quantitatively or qualitatively material, and requested that losses relating to asset impairments be identified separately from charges based on estimates of future cash expenditures.

c.The staff frequently reminds registrants that in periods subsequent to the initiation date that material changes and activity in the liability balances of each significant type of exit cost and involuntary employee termination benefits (either as a result of expenditures or changes in/reversals of estimates or the fair value of the liability) should be disclosed in the footnotes to the interim and annual financial statements and discussed in MD&A. In the event a company recognized liabilities for exit costs and involuntary employee termination benefits relating to multiple exit plans, the staff believes presentation of separate information for each individual exit plan that has a material effect on the balance sheet, results of operations or cash flows generally is appropriate.

PART III. REVIEW BY INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM1. The financial information included in Form 10-Q need

not be audited by an accountant. Rule 10-01(d) of Regulation S-X requires that the interim financial statements be reviewed by an independent public accountant prior to filing of Form 10-Q. The review is to be conducted in accordance with the procedures set forth in PCAOB AU 722, Interim Financial Information (PCAOB AU 722). Such a review need not be disclosed in the Form 10-Q. However, if in the filing the registrant states that the interim financial statements have been

reviewed, the accountant’s PCAOB AU 722 report must accompany the interim financial information [Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01(d)].

[Note: Quarterly Reviews for Filings on Form 10-Q — The Staff stated that if an independent auditor has not reviewed a registrant’s financial statements included in Form 10-Q as required, the registrant must disclose that their auditor did not perform the review. If the review has not been performed, the Staff will consider the filing to be materially deficient and the registrant will lose its Form S-3 eligibility to incorporate certain information by reference and its ability to register shares on Form S-8.

A registrant that previously combined captions in a Form 10-Q, but is required to present such captions separately in the Form 10-Q for the current quarter, must reclassify amounts presented in the prior periods for comparative purposes to conform with the captions presented for the current quarter [SAB Topic 6-G(2)(a)(1)].

3. Pursuant to Exhibit 15 of S-K Item 601, an accountant’s letter must be filed acknowledging an awareness of the use in a 1933 Act filing of a review report on unaudited interim financial information with the registration statement, an amendment thereto, or in a Form 10-Q that is incorporated by reference into the registration statement.

PART IV. TEST FOR CONDENSATIONWhile condensation of financial statements is allowed, it is not required.A registrant that previously combined captions in a Form 10-Q, but is required to present such captions separately in the Form 10-Q for the current quarter, must reclassify amounts presented in the prior periods for comparative purposes to conform with the captions presented for the current quarter [SAB Topic 6-G(2)(a)(1)].
