PART II Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES: Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014 using the criteria established in 'Internal Control - Integrated Framework' (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"). Management concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2014 based on material weakenesses listed below. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OF FINANCIAL REPORTING. Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on the above referenced guidelines, the Company determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as listed below. 1) We do not have an Audit Committee - While not being legally obligated to have one, management believes that such a committee, including a financial expert member, is an important entity level control over the Company's financial statement. Currently, the Board of Directors acts as the Audit Committee, and does not include an independent member to provide the necessary oversight over management's activities. 2) We did not maintain appropriate cash controls - Due to accounting resource limitations, as of December 31, 2014, the Company has not maintained sufficient internal controls over financial reporting for the cash process based on the failure to segregate cash handling and accounting functions, and the lack of the requirement for dual signatures on the Company's bank accounts. Alternatively, the effects of poor cash controls were mitigated by the fact that the Company had limited transactions in their bank accounts. 3) We did not implement appropriate information technology controls - As at December 31, 2014, the Company retains copies of all financial data and material agreements and periodically make backups of the Company's data; however there is no formal procedure or evidence of normal backup of the Company's data or off-site storage of data in the event of theft, misplacement, or loss due to unmitigated factors. 4
As such, the Company concluded that these control deficiencies resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company's internal controls. As a result of the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014 based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) issued by COSO. CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING: There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with our evaluation we conducted of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, that occurred subsequent to the evaluation that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC applicable to an Emerging Growth Company that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report. 5
