NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Statements in this report may be "forward-looking statements." Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or conditions. These statements include, among other things, statements regarding:

 

§the growth of our business and revenues and our expectations about the factors that influence our success;

 

§our plans to continue to invest in systems, facilities, and infrastructure, increase our hiring and grow our business;

 

§our plans for our BAM-FX and the strategy and timing of sales plans and regulatory approvals;

 

§our belief about our sales growth and growth of our business and research capabilities;

 

§our belief regarding when we will be revenue generating and when and if we will be able to have sufficient revenues to fund

 

§our ability to attain funding and the sufficiency of our sources of funding;

 

§our expectation that our cost of revenues, development expenses, sales and marketing expenses, and general and administrative expenses will increase;

 

§fluctuations in our capital expenditures;

 

§our plans for potential business partners and other business relationships;

 

as well as other statements regarding our future operations, financial condition and prospects, and business strategies. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business based, in part, on assumptions made by management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and are likely to, differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those described above and those risks discussed from time to time in this report, including the risks described under "Risk Factors" in our Registration Statement filed and any risks described in any other filings we make with the SEC. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report.

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to useful lives of real estate assets, cost reimbursement income, bad debts, impairment, net lease intangibles, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION, HISTORY AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

The Company was organized on August 19, 1983 in the State of Delaware, under the name Monolith Ventures, Inc. to acquire and develop mineral properties.

 

On January 12, 2012, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to ElectroHealing Technologies, Inc. under the laws of the State of Nevada, in anticipation of a merger which did not occur.

 

On January 11, 2013, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to Zero Gravity Solutions, Inc. (“the Company”) (“ZGSI”), pursuant to the acquisition of intellectual property on December 3, 2012.

 

On October 29, 2013, the Company formed its wholly-owned subsidiary in the State of Delaware, Zero Gravity Solutions, Inc., which had no operations through December 31, 2013.

 

On December 16, 2013, the Company acquired 100% of Zero Gravity Solutions, Ltd. (“ZGSL”). This was a dormant U.K. company, which had no operations prior to acquisition and through December 31, 2013.

 

On June 13, 2014, the Company formed its wholly-owned subsidiary in the State of Florida, Bam Agricultural Solutions, Inc.

 

On August 19, 2014, the Company formed its wholly-owned subsidiary in the U.K., Bam Agricultural Solutions, Ltd.

 

On December 17, 2014, the Company formed its wholly-owned subsidiary in the State of Florida, Zero Gravity Life Sciences, Inc.

 

The Company owns proprietary technology for its first commercial product, BAM-FXTM that can boost the nutritional value and enhance the immune system of food crops without the use of Genetic Modification.

 

The Company’s mission is to improve life on earth by applying intellectual property and technology designed for and derived from six NASA enabled flights over the last five years through utilization of the unique long-term microgravity environment platform of the International Space Station (ISS). The Company’s initial projects will be directed to providing solutions to critical world food crop challenges.

 

Further, the Company is focused on industrializing and commercializing scientific breakthroughs in the area of patentable stem cell technologies through developing advances in plant, animal and human biology based on intellectual property designed for and derived from multiple experiments on the ISS.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. The interim results for the period ended March 31, 2015, are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2014.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

 

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and revenues and expenses in the statement of operations. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Zero Gravity Solutions, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is valued on a lower of first-in, first out (FIFO) cost or market basis. At March 31, 2015 raw materials on hand was $8,962 and finished product inventory was valued at $16,141.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

 

Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives. Property and equipment is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. There were no impairment charges taken during the period ended March 31, 2015.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company applies the accounting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements”, as well as certain related FASB staff positions.  This guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact business and considers assumptions that marketplace participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of non-performance.

ZERO GRAVITY SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

MARCH 31, 2015

(Unaudited)

 

The guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy for measurements of fair value as follows:

 

Level 1 – quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 - inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 – unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and notes payable – related party, approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.

 

Stock based compensation

 

We account for stock options in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718: Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires generally that all equity awards be accounted for at their “fair value.” This fair value is measured on the grant date for stock-settled awards, and at subsequent exercise or settlement for cash-settled awards. Fair value is equal to the underlying value of the stock for “full-value” awards such as restricted stock and performance shares, and estimated using an option-pricing model with traditional inputs for “appreciation” awards such as stock options and stock appreciation rights.

 

Costs equal to these fair values are recognized ratably over the requisite service period based on the number of awards that are expected to vest, or in the period of grant for awards that vest immediately and have no future service condition. For awards that vest over time, cumulative adjustments in later periods are recorded to the extent actual forfeitures differ from our initial estimates: previously recognized compensation cost is reversed if the service or performance conditions are not satisfied and the award is forfeited. The expense resulting from share-based payments is recorded in general and administrative expense.

 

Basic (Loss) per Common Share

 

Basic (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

MARCH 31, 2015

(Unaudited)

 

The Company had the following potential common stock equivalents at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

 

   March 31, 2015   December 31.
2014
 
Stock Warrants (Exercise price - $.50/share) (see Note 5)   2,746,900    1,926,900 
Total common stock equivalents   2,746,900    1,926,900 

 

Research and Development

 

The Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred for which there is no alternative future use.

 

Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States Dollars. The Company has a bank account in foreign currency. The balance of this bank account was translated from its local currency (British Pounds) into the reporting currency, U.S. dollars, using period end exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments were recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Revenues and expenses were translated using weighted average exchange rate for the period.

 

Transaction gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions were recorded as foreign exchange gains or losses in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company did not enter into any financial instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires that the Company recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax benefit (expense) results from the change in net deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

Accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 740-20, “Income Taxes – Intraperiod Tax Allocation,” clarifies the accounting for uncertainties in income taxes recognized in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740-20 by prescribing guidance for the recognition, de-recognition and measurement in financial statements of income tax positions taken in previously filed tax returns or tax positions expected to be taken in tax returns, including a decision whether to file or not to file in a particular jurisdiction. FASB ASC Topic 740-20 requires that any liability created for unrecognized tax benefits is disclosed. The application of FASB ASC Topic 740-20 may also affect the tax bases of assets and liabilities and therefore may change or create deferred tax liabilities or assets. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

 

At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company did not record any liabilities for uncertain tax positions.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

 

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $5,587,185 and net cash used in operations of $802,993 for the period ended March 31, 2015.

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established any source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

 

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plans to obtain such resources for the Company include obtaining capital from certain related parties, management and significant shareholders and through private placement of securities sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report. Please also refer to the Note About Forward Looking Statements for information on such statements contained in this Quarterly Report immediately preceding Item 1.

 

Overview

 

Zero Gravity Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation, is a biotechnology company focused on commercializing technology derived from and designed for spaceflight with significant applications on Earth. These technologies are focused on improving world agriculture by providing valuable solutions to challenges facing humanity, including threats to world agriculture and the ability to feed the world’s rapidly growing population. The Company’s business model is currently focused on its two primary business segments: 1) BAM-FX, which is a cost effective, ionic nutrient delivery system for plants that can deliver minerals and micronutrients systemically at the cellular level of a plant; and 2) Directed Selection, which relates to the production and alteration of new varieties of novel stem cells with unique and beneficial characteristics in the prolonged zero/micro gravity environment of the International Space Station. These novel stem cells, once developed, are expected to be patented for commercial sale to third parties in the agricultural and human regenerative medical markets. ZGSI is headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida.

 

Our business activities are executed through two active wholly owned subsidiaries. BAM Agricultural Solutions, Inc., (“BAM Inc.”) produces and sells our BAM-FX product, while Zero Gravity Life Sciences, Inc. (“ZGLS”) is responsible for our space research projects, life science applications of our technology and conducting research on future BAM product lines. We believe that the separation of these functions and the corresponding allocation of management by expertise will enable us to improve our performance and provide focus on our different business activities. Zero Gravity Solutions, Ltd. (“ZGSL”) is incorporated in England and is currently dormant.

 

The Company is currently focused on implementing a near-term revenue generation plan through the introduction of the Company’s first commercial product, BAM-FX, to the world’s agricultural markets. The Company conducted field trials on a variety of crops in laboratory and academic settings as well as in field applications on grower/end-user crops during 2014. These trials showed exceedingly positive results including a significant increase in yield, quality and nutritional value in a variety of crops. Given the success of trials conducted in 2014, the Company expanded field applications with those trial participants during 2015. During the first quarter of 2015, the Company initiated in excess of 60 (sixty) trials on a variety of field crops, vegetables and fruits. Second season trials are underway with first year participants and additional trials commenced with initial participants. To support its commercial and field trial efforts, the Company has hired or contracted with qualified personnel for sales and marketing support, in field test research and toxicology services.

 

The Company opened a manufacturing facility during the third quarter of 2014 to supply product for trial and expected future product demand and began the commercial roll out of BAM-FX into the world’s agricultural markets. The Company conducted a complete regulatory review of the manufacturing operations during the first quarter of 2015 and is in the process of making certain policy and procedural changes to insure compliance with good manufacturing processes and regulatory requirements.

 

During the first quarter of 2015, the Company also conducted a review of its operating expenses and use of resources and determined that certain administrative and support costs were outside the scope of the 2015 business plan. Accordingly, the Company made reductions in personnel and curtailed operations of ZGSL during April 2015. The Company expects to redirect those financial resources to BAM-FX trials and commercialization in North and South American markets for the remainder of 2015. The Company also expects to address European markets for BAM-FX at the time adequate resources are available and all local regulatory and import requirements are satisfied.

Although we have started and realized minimal product sales we anticipate that in the near term, ongoing expenses, including the costs associated with future preparation and filing of Securities and Exchange Commission reports and the expansion of our in field sales, marketing and technical personnel, will be funded primarily by proceeds from sales of our securities. On February 27, 2015, we closed an offering which commenced in March 2013 that raised a total of $4,448,297. We have since commenced a second offering of up to $5,000,000 of our securities.

 

We have generated only minimal revenues from our operations thus far and expect that product sales will increase considerably during the third and fourth quarters of 2015. The sales cycle for BAM-FX in agricultural markets is generally two years because a customer generally will not purchase our product without testing the product over two consecutive growing seasons to assess the product’s consistent performance and quantifying the benefits on crop yields. During 2014, we commenced numerous grower trials on numerous crops and are now in the second year of testing the benefits of applying BAM-FX on those same crops. Initial results of the second season trials are favorable which we believe will result in revenue from sales in the late third and the fourth quarter 2015 as growers see crop improvement from BAM-FX and begin to purchase inventory for the next growing season. We cannot, however, guarantee we will be successful in generating significant revenue in 2015 or in the execution of our business strategy. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including the financial risks associated with the limited capital resources currently available to us for the implementation of our business strategies. To become profitable and competitive, we must execute on our 2015 business plan and realize revenues expected.

 

Results of Operations

 

   For the three-months ended         
   31-Mar-15   31-Mar-14   $ Change   % Change 
                     
General and administrative expenses  $1,100,242   $551,340   $548,902    99.6%
                     
Loss from Operations   (1,100,242)   (551,340)   548,902    99.6%
                     
Other Income / (Expense)   (1,282)   (572)   (710)   124.2%
                     
Net Loss  $(1,101,524)  $(551,912)  $(549,612)   99.6%
                     
Net loss per share - basic and diluted  $(0.03)  $(0.02)  $(0.01)   50.0%

 

General and administrative expense increased by $566,576 to $1,092,142 for the first quarter of 2015 compared to $525,566 for the first quarter of 2014, an increase of 107.8%, primarily due to an increase in personnel, consultant and professional expenses related to public company filing requirements and compliance, an increase in sales, marketing and technical consultant expenses including related travel expenses to handle commercial product introduction through second year and additional initial field trials of BAM-FX with growers and an increase in personnel expenses for the operation of our manufacturing facility. Noncash equity compensation paid to consultants, board members and employees included in general and administrative expense was $341,710 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, an increase of $175,180 or 105% compared to $166,530 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

 

Research and development expense, included in general and administrative expenses, decreased $17,674 to $8,100 during the first quarter of 2015 from $25,774 during the first quarter of 2014. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in the expense of academic studies performed on BAM-FX .

 

Net loss for the first quarter 2015 of $1,101,524 represents an increase of $549,612 from a net loss of $551,912 for the first quarter of 2014. The increase in net loss is due to the increase in general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 of $555,011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, as discussed above.

Use of Cash

 

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 increased by $361,631 to $802,593 from $440,962 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase in net cash used in operating activities is primarily due to an increase in net loss of $549,612 offset by non-cash common stock and warrants issued for services of $25,000 and $150,180, respectively

 

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the period ended March 31, 2015 increased slightly over March 31, 2014, consisting of cash paid to purchase equipment of $2,864 and $2,838, respectively.

 

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $799,013 to $1,137,113 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $338,100 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities is due primarily to an increase in the proceeds from the sale of common stock of $880,500, net of an increase in offering costs from the sale of common stock of $61,600, a decrease of $15,000 on repayment on notes payable to a related party, partially offset by an increase of $34,887 of payments on notes payable.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We expect to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future. Specifically, we estimate that the research and development and related costs associated with the execution of our 2015 business plan will exceed $250,000 per month, an increase in connection with our ongoing field trial activities and the administrative expenses of our registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

We filed a registration statement on Form 10 with the SEC that became effective in February 2015 and requires us to operate as a fully reporting public company. We expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a fully reporting public company, which we expect will total approximately $165,000 during the initial twelve month period. Accordingly, we have acknowledged the need to obtain additional funding to operate the Company and have continued to raise funds in a secondary private offering subsequent to our offering which closed February 27, 2015.

 

Fundraising

 

On February 27, 2015, we closed an offering that had commenced in March 2013. This offering raised a total of $4,448,297 and we issued 8,896,594 shares of our Common Stock pursuant to it. For the first quarter of 2015, the Company received $1,278,500 gross proceeds from the sale of its Common Stock and paid $95,500 of associated offering costs.

 

Beginning on March 16, 2015, we commenced an offering of units of our securities (“Units”) to certain accredited and non-accredited investors at $4 per Unit, each Unit consisting of one share of our common stock and a warrant to purchase one half share of our common stock at $6 per share. During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, pursuant to this offering, the Company sold 6,250 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 3,125 shares of our common stock at $6 per share for an aggregate proceeds of $25,000. The Company subsequently determined to terminate the offering in May 2015.

 

Adequate additional financing may not be realized from an offering or otherwise be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our research and development programs or any future commercialization efforts. We will need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability and we may never do so.

Cash on Hand

 

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had a cash balance of $577,772, as compared to December 31, 2014, when the Company had a cash balance of $253,677.

 

Total assets were $920,487 and $588,229 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Working capital, defined as total current assets less total current liabilities was $595,989 and $215,768 at March 31, 2105 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The increase in working capital during the period was primarily due to proceeds from the sale of common stock, net of offering expenses, of $1,183,000 offset by net cash used in operating activities of $802,596. Total stockholders’ equity increased by $415,625 to $732,247 at March 31, 2015 from $316,622 at December 31, 2104.

 

Outlook

 

Required Capital Over the Next Fiscal Year

 

We do not believe that we can accurately predict revenues and cash flow at this time due to the fact that our product, BAM-FX, is new in the agricultural markets. We will need additional funding to cover 2015 expenses. Without consideration of any revenue or additional fundraising, at the Company’s current rate of expenditure, we estimate that our current capital will be sufficient to cover our operating costs through the end of June 2015.

 

The sales cycle for our product BAM-FX in agriculture markets is generally two growing seasons. We are in the second season of introducing BAM-FX as a commercial product and believe that positive trial results on growers’ crops will result in product sales to those growers during the third and fourth quarters of 2015. Due to our current trial activities, we expect that the cost of conducting BAM-FX field trials with growers will increase during the second and third quarters of 2015 as the Company has increased the number of trials undertaken and will increase spending for that purpose. We anticipate the need to raise an additional $2,500,000 to $3,000,000 to fund our operations through the end of 2015. Our long-term fundraising needs are currently undetermined due to the uncertain nature of our revenues, but we anticipate that our operations should be fully self-sufficient during the fourth quarter of 2015.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer (our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover every situation involving the failure of persons within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company’s periodic reports.

 

Changes in Internal Controls

 

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the our last fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
