NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Organization and Description of Business

 

Avangard Capital Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation is referred to in this report as “we”, “us”, “our”, “ACG”, the “Company” or “Avangard Capital Group.”

 

We were incorporated June 13, 2012 under the laws of the State of Nevada. Our executive offices are located at 2708 Commerce Way, Suite 300, Philadelphia, PA 19154.

 

We are an independent auto sales finance company that provides floor plan financing for independent used car dealers based on the value of collateral (the car) as determined by us using the automobile industry’s nationally-recognized valuation sources. We operate in the states of New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Florida. We have a limited operating history and commenced business June 22, 2012 with the purchase of all floor plan receivables from Avangard Auto Finance, Inc. (“AAF”), an affiliate. Pursuant to an Assignment Agreement with AAF dated June 13, 2012, we acquired AAF’s floor plan financing portfolio for $151,979, the face value of the contracts plus accrued interest and fees at that time.

 

In January 2013, we received approval and were licensed by the States of Florida and New Jersey as a Sales Finance Company. In February 2013, we were licensed in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as a Sales Finance Company. These licenses permit us to expand our operations to providing financing for auto sales by dealers.

 

On March 26, 2013, we acquired certain retail installment contract receivables from AAF and Avangard Financial Group, Inc., a related party (“AFG”) for $102,250. The receivables consisted of an aggregate principal balance of approximately $141,868 for current loans receivables and approximately $323,449 for non-current loans receivables.

 

Interim Financial Statements

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in conformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X and the related rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, we believe that the disclosures included in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited condensed financial statements included in this document have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements, and in our opinion reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with GAAP and SEC regulations for interim financial statements. The results for the three months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or for any subsequent interim periods. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes to those statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended June 30, 2013 filed on September 30, 2013.

 

Use of Estimates

 

We use estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of a financial instrument represents the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than a forced sale or liquidation. Significant differences can arise between the fair value and carrying amount of financial instruments that are recognized at historical cost amounts. The carrying value of cash, floor plan financing receivable, bridge loan receivable and accounts payable approximate the fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

 

The accounting standards regarding fair value of financial instruments and related fair value measurements define fair value, establish a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement, and enhance disclosure requirements for fair value measures.

 

The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1:	inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2:	inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3:	inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

Marketable securities were measured at fair value using Level 1 inputs derived from quoted prices in active markets.

 

Marketable Securities

 

Our marketable equity securities have been classified and accounted for as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses related to changes in the fair value of securities are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax in our balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of available-for sale securities impact our net income only when such securities are sold or other-than-temporary impairment is recognized. Realized gains and losses on the sale of securities are determined by specific identification of each security’s cost basis. Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of purchase and re-evaluates the available-for-sale designations as of each balance sheet date.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Interest income from floor plan financing receivable is recognized using the interest method. Accrual of income on finance receivable is suspended when a contract is contractually delinquent for ninety days or more. The accrual is resumed when the contract becomes contractually current and past due interest is recognized at that time.

 

Origination Fees are recognized for services provided during the loan origination process at the point in time the loan is funded.

 

The Company accounts for its investment in floor plan financing receivables which it acquired on June 13, 2012 using the interest method under the guidance of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Section 310, Receivables (“ASC 310”). Under ASC 310 pools of accounts are established based on certain common risk criteria. Each pool is recorded at cost and is accounted for as a single unit for the recognition of income, principal payments and loss provision.

 

The Company accounts for its investment in retail installment contract receivables it acquired on March 26, 2013 using the cost recovery method under the guidance of ASC 310 as the Company’s collections on this particular pool of accounts cannot be reasonably predicted. Under the cost recovery method, no income is recognized until the cost of the retail installment contract receivables portfolio has been fully recovered. This pool of accounts can become fully amortized (zero carrying balance on the balance sheet) while still generating cash collections. In this case, all cash collections are recognized as revenue when received. From the date of the purchase to September 30, 2013 the Company collected $79,362. As of September 30, 2013 the balance of the acquired portfolio is $22,888.

Floor Plan Financing Receivable

 

Floor plan financing receivable consists of principal, fees and interest related to purchased automobiles, which were assigned to us upon acquisition. The titles to the automobiles, which serve as security for the payment of the purchased contracts, are held by us.

 

Floor plan financing receivable that we intend and have the ability to hold for the foreseeable future, or until maturities of payoff are reported at their outstanding gross contractual balances, net of allowance for losses and unearned finance revenue. Unearned finance revenue consists of unearned interest and discounts realized on contract purchases.

 

We perform periodic evaluations of the adequacy of the allowance for losses taking into consideration the past loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, as well as recovery potential of any underlying collateral, personal guarantees and current economic conditions. Any increases in the allowance for losses subsequent to the acquisition of the contract are charged to earnings. As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, no provision has been made.

 

Used Car Auto Financing

 

On March 26, 2013, we acquired a portfolio of consumer automobile loans from Avangard Auto Finance, Inc., (“AAF”), a related party.

 

ACG intends to expand its activity in auto financing. We provide financing for independent used car dealers based on the value of collateral (the car) as determined by us using the automobile industry’s nationally-recognized valuation sources.

 

The Company is an indirect lender from a legal perspective, meaning the loan is originated by the dealer and immediately assigned to the Company. Typically, the loan is purchased from the dealer. The disbursement to the dealer is calculated using our guidelines as to the value of the automobile. The amount advanced against the collateral is 85% of the “Black Book” liquidation value of the car. From time to time we will have automobiles in inventory as a result of repossessions due to non-payment. Our policy is to issue a repossession order after 15 days delinquency of the loan.

 

As of September 30, 2013, the entire Used Car Auto Financing Portfolio’s collection cannot be reasonably predicted by the Company; therefore the modified cost recovery method has been utilized to account for the pool of loans.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

We account for stock-based compensation by applying a fair-value-based measurement method to account for share-based payment transactions with employees and directors. Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense because we settle these obligations by issuing shares of our common stock instead of settling such obligations with cash payments.

 

Comprehensive Income

 

Comprehensive income consists of two components, net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income refers to revenue, expenses, gains, and losses that under GAAP are recorded as an element of shareholders’ equity but are excluded from net income. Other comprehensive income consists of unrealized gains on marketable securities categorized as available-for-sale.

 

 

AVANGARD CAPITAL GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2013

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

The Company’s assets exposed to credit risk are cash and finance and interest receivables.

 

For the quarters ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, one significant customer accounted for 100% of total revenue and floor plan financing receivable.

 

The Company maintains its cash balances in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured financial institutions. At times, cash balances may exceed the maximum insurance offered by FDIC.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Fixed assets are recorded at their historical cost upon acquisition or cost of construction. The assets are depreciated using the straight line method over their statutory lives. The fixed asset categories and their estimated lives are as follows:

 

Office Equipment         5 years

 

Income Taxes

 

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has incurred net operating loss for financial-reporting and tax-reporting purposes. Accordingly, for Federal and state income tax purposes, the benefit for income taxes has been offset entirely by a valuation allowance against the related federal and state deferred tax asset for the quarter ended September 30, 2013.

 

NOTE 2 - MARKETABLE SECURITIES AND CHANGES IN ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

 

Marketable Securities

 

Marketable equity securities purchased during the current fiscal year were classified and accounted for as available-for-sale as of September 30, 2013. Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of purchase and reevaluates the available-for-sale designations as of each balance sheet date.

 

		September 30, 2013
		Adjusted				Unrealized				Fair
		Cost				Gains				Value
Level:1
Common Stock		$	359,963			$	36,304			$	396,267

 

We recognized $4,849 and $ 0 of net realized gains during the quarters ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Realized gains on the sale of the securities are determined by specific identification of each security’s cost basis.

 

Changes in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

 

Our other comprehensive income consists of unrealized gain on marketable securities. The following table shows the accumulated other comprehensive income balance as of September 30, 2013:

 

		Unrealized Gain on Marketable Securities
Balance at June 30, 2013		$	24,225
Other comprehensive income before reclassifications			16,928
Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income			(4,849	)
Net current-period other comprehensive income			12,079
Balance at September 30, 2013		$	36,304

 

NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES

 

The provision for income taxes consists of the following:

 

		September 30,

AVANGARD CAPITAL GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2013

 

As of September 30, 2013, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards of $241,998 that can be utilized to offset future taxable income for Federal income tax purposes through 2033, generating a deferred tax benefit of $90,884 by applying Federal and State statutory tax rates. The Company applied a 100% valuation reserve against the deferred tax benefit as the realization of the benefit is not certain.

 

The following tax years remain subject to examination by the respective tax jurisdictions.

 

		Fiscal Years ending June 30,
Internal Revenue Service		2012 - 2013
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania		2012 - 2013

 

NOTE 4 - USED CAR AUTO FINANCE RECEIVABLES

 

Changes in used car auto finance receivables are as follows:

 

		Cost Recovery
Acquisition of auto financing receivables		$	102,250
Net cash collections			(79,362	)
Ending balance		$	22,888

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2013 management has determined that the collections of the used car auto finance receivable cannot be reasonably predicted; therefore the modified cost recovery method has been utilized to account for the pool of loans. Accordingly, there is no allowance for doubtful accounts associated with the receivable.

 

NOTE 5 - COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK

 

We are authorized to issue 1,000,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value common stock of which 10,134,664 shares have been issued and are outstanding, designated Class A at September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013. A total of 114,664 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued during the year ended June 30, 2013 in connection with the sale of 28,666 Units in the Offering discussed below. The Company received proceeds of $171,985 in connection with the sale of the Units of which, $135,996 was a subscription receivable at June 30, 2013 and was collected on July 5, 2013.

 

We are authorized to issue 300,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value Convertible Preferred Stock Series A of which 905,000 shares have been issued and outstanding at September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013.

 

Offering of Securities

 

On February 13, 2013, our Registration Statement on Form S-1 was declared effective by the SEC whereby we offered 5,000,000 units (the “Offering”), each unit consisting of four shares of our common stock and one redeemable common stock warrant (a “Warrant”) at a public offering price of $6.00 per unit (a “Unit”). The Warrants became exercisable and separately transferable from the shares 30 calendar days after February 13, 2013. At any time thereafter until three years following February 13, 2013, subject to earlier redemption, each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 (133% of the per share price of the common stock included in the Units), subject to adjustment. The Warrants are subject to redemption for $0.0001 per Warrant upon 30 days prior written notice, provided that the last sale price of our common stock equals or exceeds $3.00 (150% of the Warrant exercise price), subject to adjustment, for 10 consecutive trading days. As of September 30, 2013, 28,666 units have been sold and no warrants have been exercised. The Offering expired on August 14, 2013.

NOTE 6 - LOSS PER SHARE

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The Company’s potential dilutive shares, which include convertible preferred shares and shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, have not been included in the computation of diluted net loss per share as the result would be antidilutive. Such potentially dilutive shares are excluded when the effect would be to reduce net loss per share. All potential common shares have been excluded from the computation of the dilutive net loss per share for the period presented because the effect would have been antidilutive. Such potential common shares consist of the following:

 

		September 30, 2013				September 30, 2012
Convertible preferred stock			2,715,000				2,715,000
Warrants attached to units sold			28,666				-

 

NOTE 7 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

We entered into a lease agreement for office space with Commerce Way, LLC (“CWL”). CWL is owned by DJS Investments, LLC and SELF, LP. SELF, LP is a shareholder of Friedman Financial Group, who is a principal shareholder of our company. The lease requires monthly payments, commencing August 1, 2012, of $2,500 on a month to month basis. No security deposit was required. Rent expense for the quarters ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $7,500 and $5,000 respectively.

 

On March 26, 2013 we entered into an Retail Installment Contract Receivable Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Avangard Auto Finance, Inc. and Avangard Financial Group, Inc. (the “Sellers”), both of whom are our affiliates. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we agreed to pay the Sellers $102,250 (the “Purchase Price”) to purchase certain of their retail installment contract receivables as of the date of the agreement. These amounts include an aggregate principal balance of approximately $141,868 for current loans receivables (the “Current Loans”) and an aggregate principal balance of approximately $323,449 for non-current loans receivables (the “Non-Current Loans”). The Sellers guaranteed to us that we will recover no less than 70% of the aggregate amount of the Current Loans.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information and Factors That May Affect Future Results

 

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Securities and Exchange Commission encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company’s future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other written and oral statements that we make from time to time contain such forward-looking statements that set out anticipated results based on management’s plans and assumptions regarding future events or performance. We have tried, wherever possible, to identify such statements by using words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “will” and similar expressions in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, future performance or results of current and anticipated sales efforts, expenses, the outcome of contingencies, such as legal proceedings, and financial results. A list of factors that could cause our actual results of operations and financial condition to differ materially is set forth below, and these factors are discussed in greater detail under the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on September 30, 2013:

 

	●	Our limited operating history and ability to achieve profitability.
	●	Our ability to assure that related party transactions are fair to our company.
	●	Our ability to manage growth in our business.
	●	Our dependence on one floor plan financing agreement.
	●	The impact of the volatility in the worldwide credit and equity markets.
	●	Our dependence on the services provided by Alan Gulko, our CEO, President and Director who can exercise voting control over corporate decisions.
	●	The super voting power of our CEO and directors who hold shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
	●	Write-Offs for losses and defaults on our floor plan receivables.
	●	The impact of changes in interest rates.
	●	Increased costs as a result of becoming a reporting company.
	●	Our ability to maintain an effective system of internal controls over financial reporting.
	●	The affects on our stock price as a result of sales of our common stock by existing shareholders pursuant to Rule 144.

 

We caution that the factors described herein and other factors could cause our actual results of operations and financial condition to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements we make and that investors should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of such factors. Further, we cannot assess the impact of each such factor on our results of operations or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

 

OVERVIEW

 

We are an independent auto sales finance company that provides floor plan financing and auto financing for independent used car dealers. The loans made are based on the value of collateral (the car) as determined by us using the automobile industry’s nationally-recognized valuation sources. We currently operate in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Florida. Our current operations are focused on the management of a floor plan financing portfolio we acquired in June 2012 and retail installment contract receivables we acquired in March 2013 as discussed below.

 

 

In furtherance of our expansion into automotive consumer loans, we acquired certain retail installment contract receivables from our affiliates AAF and AFG on March 26, 2013 for $102,250. The receivables consisted of an aggregate principal balance of approximately $141,868 for current loans receivables and approximately $323,449 for non-current loans receivables. The sellers guaranteed to us that we will recover no less than 70% of the aggregate amount of the current loans. If we recover less than 70% of that amount, the sellers agreed to pay the difference to us upon demand.

 

We are licensed as a Sales Finance Company by the States of Florida and New Jersey since January 2013 and by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania since February 2013. These licenses permit us to expand our operations to providing financing for auto sales by dealers.

 

As discussed in our February 13, 2013 prospectus filed with the SEC, we sought to raise up to $30,000,000 by selling 5,000,000 Units, each Unit consisting of four shares of our common stock and one redeemable common stock warrant at a public offering price of $6.00 per Unit (the “Offering”). We sold 28,666 Units in this Offering for an aggregate offering price of $171,985. The Units are comprised of 114,664 shares of our common stock and 28,666 common stock purchase warrants exercisable at a price of $2.00 per share. The Offering expired on August 14, 2013.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Revenue

 

Total revenue was $26,849 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 compared to $16,201 in the quarter ended September 30, 2012. This increase in total revenue is primarily due to interest earned from loans outstanding for longer periods of time and an increase in renewal fees derived from the floor plan financing receivables we acquired on June 13, 2012.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Total operating expenses increased $121,389 to $148,295 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. These expenses were comprised primarily of $68,354 related to legal, accounting and SEC compliance costs. We incurred, $26,587 in business development expenses, $14,093 for computer related services and software, and $7,500 for rent. In addition, operating expenses increased as a result of hiring 4 additional employees during the quarter ended September 30, 2013.

 

Other Income

 

Other income is comprised of interest, dividends and realized gains from the sale of marketable securities. Other income increased to $7,459 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 as compared to $- for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 as a result of realized gains from the sale of our marketable securities. Unrealized gains and losses as of September 30, 2013 in the amount of $12,079, net of amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income related to changes in the fair value of securities are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Liquidity is the ability of an enterprise to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs for cash requirements. As of September 30, 2013 our working capital amounted to $898,572, an increase of $34,221 as compared to $864,351 as of June 30, 2013. The increase is largely due to the sale of common stock for $135,996 and collection of floor plan financing receivables of $36,020, used car auto financing receivables of $25,980 offset by an increase in related party receivables of $26,460, and by an increase in accounts payable of $45,101. Working Capital assets included primarily cash and marketable securities of $660,985, floor plan financing receivables of $216,200, related party receivable of $25,980, and used car auto finance receivables of $22,888.

 

We have primarily financed operations through cash flows from financing activities transactions and to a lesser extent, cash generated from our operations. Net cash used in operating activities for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 was $34,191, which primarily reflected an increase in operating expenses for the quarter. Floor plan financing receivables decreased from collections of $36,020 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 compared to an increase of $14,510 in floor plan financing receivables for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. We collected $25,980 in used car auto financing receivable during the quarter ended September 30, 2013 compared to $0 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased by $45,101 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 compared to and increase of $9,900 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, due largely to increased accounting and legal costs. Operating cash flow was also decreased by a related party receivable of $26,460.

 

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 was $1,136 reflecting $32,939 in purchases of securities offset by $31,803 in sales of securities. Net cash used in investing activities for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 was $95,000 from a bridge loan receivable.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 was $135,996, primarily from subscription received in connection with the sale of common stock. Net cash provided by financing activities for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 was $744,451 stemming from the sale of Convertible Preferred Stock Series A.

 

Cash Requirements

 

Our future capital requirements will depend on numerous factors, including the amount of auto dealer floor plan financing we provide and the rate at which we expand our operations, the profitability of operations and our ability to control costs.

 

We do not currently have any contractual restrictions on our ability to incur debt and, accordingly we could incur significant amounts of indebtedness to finance operations. Any such indebtedness could contain covenants which would restrict our operations.

 

We believe we have sufficient working capital to sustain our current operations for the next twelve months.

  

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Under SEC regulations, we are required to disclose our off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, such as changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. As of September 30, 2013 we have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, who is also our Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2013. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our CEO and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of September 30, 2013.

 

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, 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. Due to 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 our company have been detected.

 

Changes in Internal Control

 

There were no changes identified in connection with our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
