Amendment Description	This Amendment No. 1 (“Form 10-Q/A”) to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 (“Original Filing”), filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 10, 2016, is being filed for the purpose of restating our unaudited consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2016 and to make corresponding revisions to certain disclosures in the Original Filing. The restatement is the result of an error in the proper classification of cash flows related to our gain on disposal of bonds, as described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q/A. As a result of this error, the Company’s unaudited consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 has been restated in this Form 10-Q/A. Our management has determined that there was a control deficiency in our internal control over financial reporting that constitutes a material weakness, as discussed in Part I – Item 4 of this Form 10-Q/A. For a discussion of management’s consideration of our disclosure controls and procedures and the material weakness identified, see Part I – Item 4 included in this Form 10-Q/A. For reasons discussed above, we are filing this Form 10-Q/A in order to amend the following items in our Original Filing to the extent necessary to reflect the adjustments discussed above and make corresponding revisions to our financial data cited elsewhere in this Form 10-Q/A:  Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements (unaudited)  Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations  Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures  Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors In accordance with applicable SEC rules, this Form 10-Q/A includes new certifications required by Rule 13a-14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) from our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer dated as of the date of filing this Form 10-Q/A. This Form 10-Q/A amends and restates in its entirety each of the above sections of the Original Filing impacted as a result of the change in presentation. Each line item of the Company’s unaudited consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 that has been restated as a result of the restatement is noted in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. This Form 10-Q/A has not been updated to reflect events occurring after November 10, 2016, the date of the Original Filing. Therefore, this Form 10-Q/A should be read in conjunction with filings we have made with the SEC subsequent to November 10, 2016.
