CECO ENVIRONMENTAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. Basis of Reporting for Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of CECO Environmental Corp. and its subsidiaries (the “Company,” “CECO,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2022 and the results of operations, cash flows and shareholders’ equity for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 as filed with the SEC on March 14, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”).
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
These financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Form 10-K.
Unless otherwise indicated, all balances within tables are in thousands, except per share amounts.
COVID-19
A novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) surfaced in late 2019 and has spread around the world, including to the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. As of June 30, 2022, the virus, including new emerging variants, continues to spread and has had a significant impact on worldwide economic activity, on macroeconomic conditions and the end markets of our business.
The outbreak and a continued spread of COVID-19 has resulted in a substantial curtailment of business activities worldwide and has caused weakened economic conditions, both in the United States and abroad. Although vaccines are available in various countries where we operate, it is possible the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have a negative impact on the Company's ongoing operations and the end markets in which it serves. However, the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve as of the date of this filing, and as such, it is uncertain as to the full magnitude or lasting impact that the pandemic will have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations. Management is actively monitoring the impact of the pandemic on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce.
2. New Financial Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards adopted in Fiscal 2022
None.
Accounting Standards to be Adopted
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which addresses how an acquirer should recognize and measure revenue contracts acquired in a business combination. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position and/or results of operations.

Amortization expense of finite life intangible assets was $
The Company completes an annual (or more often if circumstances require) goodwill and indefinite life intangible asset impairment assessment on October 1. As a part of its impairment assessment, the Company first qualitatively assesses whether current events or changes in circumstances lead to a determination that it is more likely than not (defined as a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of a reporting unit or indefinite life intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If there is a qualitative determination that the fair value is more likely than not greater than the carrying value, the Company does not need to quantitatively test for impairment. If this qualitative assessment indicates a more likely than not potential that the asset may be impaired, the estimated fair value is calculated. If the estimated fair value is less than carrying value, an impairment charge is recorded.
As of June 30, 2022, we reviewed our previous forecasts and assumptions based on our current projections, which are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including projected revenue, projected operational profit, terminal growth rates, and the cost of capital. The Company did not identify any triggering events during the three-month period ended June 30, 2022 that would require an interim impairment assessment of goodwill or intangible assets.
The Company’s assumptions about future conditions important to its assessment of potential impairment of its goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets, including the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, are subject to uncertainty, and the Company will continue to monitor these conditions in future periods as new information becomes available, and will update its analysis accordingly.

13. Commitments and Contingencies – Legal Matters
Asbestos cases
Our subsidiary, Met-Pro Technologies LLC (“Met-Pro”), beginning in 2002, began to be named in asbestos-related lawsuits filed against a large number of industrial companies including, in particular, those in the pump and fluid handling industries. In management’s opinion, the complaints typically have been vague, general and speculative, alleging that Met-Pro, along with the numerous other defendants, sold unidentified asbestos-containing products and engaged in other related actions which caused injuries (including death) and loss to the plaintiffs. Counsel has advised that more recent cases typically allege more serious claims of mesothelioma. The Company’s insurers have hired attorneys who, together with the Company, are vigorously defending these cases. Many cases have been dismissed after the plaintiff fails to produce evidence of exposure to Met-Pro’s products. In those cases, where evidence has been produced, the Company’s experience has been that the exposure levels are low and the Company’s position has been that its products were not a cause of death, injury or loss. The Company has been dismissed from or settled a large number of these cases. Cumulative settlement payments from 2002 through June 30, 2022 for cases involving asbestos-related claims were $
Based upon the most recent information available to the Company regarding such claims, there were a total of

The Company is also a party to routine contract and employment-related litigation matters, warranty claims and routine audits of state and local tax returns arising in the ordinary course of its business.
The final outcome and impact of open matters, and related claims and investigations that may be brought in the future, are subject to many variables, and cannot be predicted. In accordance with ASC 450, “Contingencies,” and related guidance, we record accruals for estimated losses relating to claims and lawsuits when available information indicates that a loss is probable and the amount of the loss, or range of loss, can be reasonably estimated. The Company expenses legal costs as they are incurred.

The approximate fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to the acquisitions are based on preliminary estimates and assumptions. These preliminary estimates and assumptions could change significantly during the purchase price measurement period as we finalize the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. These changes could result in material variances between the Company's future financial results, including variances in the estimated purchase price, fair values recorded and expenses associated with these items.
Goodwill recognized represents value the Company expects to be created by combining the various operations of the acquired businesses with the Company’s operations, including the expansion into markets within existing business segments, access to new customers and potential cost savings and synergies. Goodwill related to these acquisitions is not deductible for tax purposes.
Acquisition and integration expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income are related to acquisition activities, which include retention, legal, accounting, banking, and other expenses.

15. Business Segment Information
The Company’s operations are organized and reviewed by management along with its solutions or end markets that the segment serves and presented in two reportable segments. The results of the segments are reviewed through the “Income from operations” line on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

CECO ENVIRONMENTAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 reflect the consolidated operations of the Company and its subsidiaries.
CECO Environmental Corp. (“CECO,” “we,” “us,” or the “Company”) is a leading environmentally focused, diversified industrial company whose solutions protect people, the environment, and industrial equipment. We focus on engineering, designing, building, and installing systems that capture, clean and destroy air- and water-borne emissions from industrial facilities as well as fluid handling, gas and water separation, and filtration systems. CECO provides innovative technology and application expertise that helps companies grow their businesses with safe, clean, and more efficient solutions to protect our shared environment.
CECO serves diverse industries globally by working to improve air and water quality, protect customer’s equipment, and provide customized engineered solutions in our customers’ mission critical applications. The industries CECO serves include power generation, petrochemical processing, general industrial, refining, midstream oil & gas, electric vehicle production, poly silicon fabrication, battery recycling, and wastewater treatment, along with a wide range of other industries.
COVID-19
A novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) surfaced in late 2019 and has spread around the world, including to the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic persists in geographic areas in which we have operations, suppliers, customers and employees, and has had a significant impact on worldwide economic activity and on macroeconomic conditions and the end markets of our business.
As a key supplier to critical infrastructure projects, CECO has worked to maintain ongoing operations. Within the United States, certain portions of our business have been designated an essential business, and we continue to operate our business in compliance with applicable state and local laws and are observing recommended Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines to minimize the risk of spreading the COVID-19 virus including implementing, where possible, work-from-home procedures and additional sanitization efforts where facilities remain open to provide necessary services. This allows us to continue to serve our customers, however, the COVID-19 pandemic has also disrupted our international operations. Some of our facilities and our suppliers have experienced temporary disruptions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and we continue to work closely with our global supply chain to proactively support customers during this critical time. We cannot predict whether our facilities will experience more significant disruptions in the future or the impact on our suppliers.
The senior management team meets regularly to review and assess the status of the Company's operations and the health and safety of its employees. The senior management team continues to monitor and manage the Company’s ability to operate effectively. We are currently experiencing shortages of raw materials and inflationary pressures for certain materials and labor. We expect these supply chain challenges and cost impacts to continue for the foreseeable future as markets recover. Although we have secured additional raw materials from existing and alternate suppliers and have taken other mitigating actions to mitigate supply disruptions, we cannot guarantee that we can continue to do so in the future. In this event, our business, results and financial condition could be adversely affected. Although vaccines are available in various countries where we operate, health concern risks remain and notwithstanding the Company's continued efforts, it is possible the COVID-19 pandemic could further impact our operations and the operations of our suppliers and venders, particularly in light of newly emerging variant strains of the virus becoming more dominant and the potential resumption of high levels of infection and hospitalization. We cannot predict whether any of our manufacturing, operations or suppliers will be disrupted by these events, or how long such disruptions would last. COVID-19 has had and may have further negative impacts on our operations, customers and supply chain despite the preventative and precautionary measures being taken.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These GAAP financial statements include certain charges the Company believes are not indicative of its core ongoing operational performance.
As a result, the Company provides financial information in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis that was not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to the information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company provides this non-GAAP financial information because the Company’s management utilizes it to evaluate its ongoing financial performance and the Company believes it provides greater transparency to investors as supplemental information to its GAAP results.
The Company has provided the non-GAAP financial measures of non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin as a result of items that the Company believes are not indicative of its ongoing operations. These include transactions associated with the Company’s acquisitions, divestitures and the items described below in “Consolidated Results.” The Company believes that evaluation of its financial performance compared with prior and future periods can be enhanced by a presentation of results that exclude the impact of these items. The Company has incurred substantial expense and income associated with the acquisition and divestitures. While the Company cannot predict the exact timing or amounts of such charges, it does expect to treat the financial impact of these transactions as special items in its future presentation of non-GAAP results.

Operating income increased $3.6 million to $5.7 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared with $2.1 million during the second quarter of 2021. Operating income increased $5.8 million to $11.0 million in the first six months of 2022 compared with $5.2 million during the first six months of 2021. The increase in operating income for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 are primarily attributable to increases in sales.
Non-GAAP operating income was $8.7 million for the second quarter of 2022 compared with $4.7 million for the second quarter of 2021. The increase of $4.0 million in non-GAAP operating income is primarily attributable to the increase in net sales. Non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of sales increased to 8.2% for the second quarter of 2022 from 6.0% for the second quarter of 2021.
Non-GAAP operating income was $16.5 million for the first six months of 2022 compared with $9.7 million for the first six months of 2021. The increase of $6.8 in non-GAAP operating income is primarily attributable to the increase in net sales. Non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of sales increased to 8.3% for the first six months of 2022 from 6.4% for the first six months of 2021.
Interest expense increased to $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2022 and $1.9 million for the first six months of 2022 compared with interest expense of $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2021 and $1.4 million for the first six months of 2021. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to increased debt balances for the three- and six-month periods in 2022 compared to 2021.
Income tax expense was $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2022 and $3.0 million for the first six months of 2022 compared with income tax expense of $0.2 million for the second quarter of 2021 and $0.8 million for the first six months of 2021. The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2022 was 28.3% compared with 34.3% for the second quarter of 2021. The effective income tax rate for the first six months of 2022 was 28.3% compared with 30.9% for the first six months of 2021. The effective income tax rate for the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2022 is different than the United States federal statutory rate. Our effective tax rate is affected by certain other permanent differences, including state income taxes, non-deductible incentive stock-based compensation, and differences in tax rates among the jurisdictions in which we operate.

Engineered Systems Segment
Our Engineered Systems segment net sales increased $23.9 million to $67.3 million for the second quarter of 2022 compared with $43.4 million in the second quarter of 2021. The increase is primarily attributable to increases of $8.4 million in our thermal acoustics technologies, $5.2 million in our damper and expansion products, $4.2 million in our emissions management technologies, $2.7 million in our engineered cyclone systems, and $2.6 million in our separation and filtration technologies. For the $23.9 million increase in net sales, $19.3 million is attributable to organic growth, while $4.6 million is attributable to current year acquisitions.
21

The operating income increase is primarily attributable to higher gross profit related to increased sales of $23.9 million.
Operating income for the Engineered Systems segment increased $3.7 million to $15.5 million in the first six months of 2022 compared with $11.8 million in the first six months of 2021. The operating income increase is primarily attributable to higher gross profit related to increased sales of $38.9 million.
Industrial Process Solutions Segment
Our Industrial Process Solutions segment net sales increased $2.7 million to $38.0 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared with $35.3 million in the second quarter of 2021. The increase is primarily attributable to increases across all products serving industrial air end markets. The total increase of $2.7 million in net sales is attributable to organic growth.

Operating expense for the Corporate and Other segment increased $0.8 million to $8.7 million for the second quarter of 2022 compared with $7.9 million for the second quarter of 2021. The increase is attributable to increases in acquisition and integration expenses of $0.9 million.
Operating expense for the Corporate and Other segment decreased $0.8 million to $14.1 million for the first six months of 2022 compared with $14.9 million for the first six months of 2021. The decrease is primarily attributed to a $2.5 million favorable insurance settlement received in the first quarter of 2022, partially offset by inflationary increases for wages and services.
Backlog
Backlog (i.e., unfulfilled or remaining performance obligations) represents the sales we expect to recognize for our products and services for which control has not yet transferred to the customer. Backlog increased to $288.7 million as of June 30, 2022 from $213.9 million as of December 31, 2021. Our customers may have the right to cancel a given order. Historically, cancellations have not been common. Backlog is adjusted on a quarterly basis for adjustments in foreign currency exchange rates. Substantially all backlog is expected to be delivered within 12 to 18 months. Backlog is not defined by GAAP and our methodology for calculating backlog may not be consistent with methodologies used by other companies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
22
When we undertake large jobs, our working capital objective is to make these projects self-funding. We work to achieve this by obtaining initial down payments, progress billing contracts, when possible, utilizing extended payment terms from material suppliers, and paying sub-contractors after payment from our customers, which is an industry practice. Our investment in net working capital is funded by cash flow from operations and by our revolving line of credit under our Credit Facility (as defined below).
At June 30, 2022, the Company had working capital of $74.7 million, compared with $72.3 million at December 31, 2021. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.52 to 1.00 on June 30, 2022, as compared with a ratio of 1.62 to 1.00 at December 31, 2021.
At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, cash and cash equivalents totaled $34.4 million and $29.9 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $26.5 million and $22.6 million, respectively, of our cash and cash equivalents were held by certain non-United States subsidiaries, as well as being denominated in foreign currencies.

Operating Activities
23
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, $18.7 million of cash was provided by operating activities compared with $4.1 million provided by operations in the prior year period, a $14.6 million increase. Cash flow from operating activities in the first six months of 2022 had a favorable impact year-over-year primarily due increase in net income and certain improvements in net working capital.
Investing Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash used in investing activities was $38.8 million compared with $0.5 million used in investing activities in the prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the $38.8 million cash used in investing activities was the result of $37.4 million cash used for the acquisitions, see Note 14, and $1.4 million for the acquisition of property and equipment. In the prior year period, cash flow of $0.5 million used in investing activities was the result of $1.0 million used for the acquisition of property and equipment, offset by proceeds from the disposal of assets held for sale of $0.5 million.
Financing Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, $26.7 million was provided by financing activities compared with $6.4 million used in financing activities in the prior year period, an increase of $33.1 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company used $4.3 million to repurchase common stock, $0.9 million in non-controlling interest distributions, and received $0.1 million from proceeds from employee stock purchase plan and exercise of stock options. Additionally, for the first six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company used $22.7 million for net borrowings on the Company’s revolving credit lines, primarily used to finance current year acquisitions, and $1.5 million in repayment on long-term debt. In the prior year period, the Company used $4.1 million for repayments on the Company's revolving credit line, $1.3 million in repayments on long-term debt, and $0.8 million to make earnout payments.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Such estimates include revenue recognition, the valuation of trade receivables, inventories, goodwill, intangible assets, other long-lived assets, legal contingencies, guarantee obligations and assumptions used in the calculation of income taxes, assumptions used in business combination accounting and related balances, and pension and post-retirement benefits, among others. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors. Management monitors economic conditions and other factors and will adjust such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.
Management believes there have been no changes during the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, other than as disclosed in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements within Item 1 of this quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, to the items that the Company disclosed as its critical accounting policies and estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, both as amended, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbor for “forward-looking statements” provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, other than statements of historical fact, including statements about management’s beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements and should be evaluated as such. These statements are made on the basis of management’s views and assumptions regarding future events and business performance. We use words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intends,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “will,” “plan,” “should” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such statements. Potential risks and uncertainties, among others, that could cause actual results to differ materially are discussed under “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, and include, but are not limited to:
24
Many of these risks are beyond management’s ability to control or predict. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material aspects from those currently anticipated. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements as they speak only to our views as of the date the statement is made. Furthermore, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Except as required under the federal securities laws or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, we undertake no obligation to update or review any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to certain market risks, primarily changes in interest rates. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as foreign currency exchange and interest rates. For the Company, these exposures are primarily related to changes in interest rates. We do not currently hold any derivatives or other financial instruments purely for trading or speculative purposes.
The carrying value of the Company’s total long-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt at June 30, 2022 was $97.6 million. Market risk was estimated as the potential decrease (increase) in future earnings and cash flows resulting from a hypothetical 10% increase (decrease) in the Company’s estimated weighted average borrowing rate at June 30, 2022. Most of the interest on the Company’s debt is indexed to SOFR market rates. The estimated annual impact of a hypothetical 10% change in the estimated weighted average borrowing rate at June 30, 2022 is $0.4 million.
The Company has wholly-owned subsidiaries in several countries, including in the Netherlands, Canada, the People’s Republic of China, Mexico, United Kingdom, Singapore, Shanghai, Pune India, Dubai and Chile. In the past, we have not hedged our foreign currency exposure, and fluctuations in exchange rates have not materially affected our operating results. Future changes in exchange rates may positively or negatively impact our revenues, operating expenses and earnings. Since most of our foreign sales are denominated in the local currency, we do not anticipate that exposure to foreign currency rate fluctuations will be material in 2022.
25
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in 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, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2022. Management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for each of the periods presented in this report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the first six months ended June 30, 2022 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Control systems, no matter how well conceived and operated, are designed to provide a reasonable, but not an absolute, level of assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. The Company conducts periodic evaluations of its internal controls to enhance, where necessary, its procedures and controls.
