HIGHCOM GLOBAL SECURITY, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017

 

(1) Basis of Presentation

 

The interim period financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. 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 have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. This report should be read in conjunction with our Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position at September 30, 2017 and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 have been made.

 

These consolidated financial statements include the assets and liabilities of HighCom Global Security, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

 

HighCom Global Security, Inc. (the “Company”) went public through a shell merger on January 31, 2004, in which the Company acquired BlastGard Technologies, Inc. On March 21, 2004, the Company changed its name to BlastGard International, Inc. On March 4, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of HighCom Securities, Inc. and subsidiaries. On June 28, 2017, the Company changed its name to HighCom Global Security, Inc. The income of HighCom Armor Solutions, Inc. and subsidiaries is included from January 25, 2011, the date of the binding letter of intent. These consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and activity of the following:

 

BlastGard Technologies Inc., a 100% wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was a dormant Florida corporation from 2005 through June 2017 when the Company’s tangible and intangible assets relating to BlastWrap technology were transferred back into BlastGard Technologies, Inc. (“BTI”). BTI was incorporated on September 26, 2003 in the State of Florida, to design and market proprietary blast mitigation materials. The Company created, designs, develops and markets proprietary blast mitigation materials. BTI’s patented BlastWrap® technology effectively mitigates blast effects and suppresses post-blast fires. BTI sub-contracts the manufacturing of products to licensed and qualified production facilities.

 

HighCom Armor Solutions, Inc. HighCom Armor Solutions, Inc. (HighCom Armor), which is a 98.2% owned subsidiary of the Company, originally located in San Francisco, California is a global provider of security equipment and a leader in advanced ballistic armor manufacturing. HighCom Armor’s corporate office and manufacturing facility are located in Columbus, Ohio.

 

Business Segments

 

Although the Company accounts for its operations in three separate corporations, all of its business operations are associated with security for Individuals and Property. HighCom Global Security, Inc. primarily provides for corporate administration. HighCom Armor sales represent in excess of 99% of total sales and BTI has incidental sales of an immaterial amount. The Company has determined that all business operations should be aggregated together and not reported as separate operating segments.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, approximately 54% of inventory purchases was provided by five vendors, with the two largest suppliers representing approximately 36% each of purchases. The next three largest suppliers provided approximately 5% to 7% of purchases each.

The next largest supplier provided approximately 15% of cost of sales, with the last three making up this customer group being at 9%, 8% and 6%.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

These consolidated financial statements include the assets and liabilities of HighCom Global Security, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and its results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated for periods presented.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles required management to make estimates and assumptions that affected the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considered all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents.

 

Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts of cash, receivables and current liabilities approximated fair value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments. Debt obligations were carried at cost, which approximated fair value due to the prevailing market rate for similar instruments.

 

Fair Value Measurement

 

All financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities were recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements. This value was evaluated on a recurring basis (at least annually). Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States define fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on a measurement date. The accounting principles also established a fair value hierarchy which required an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Three levels of inputs were used to measure fair value.

 

Level 1: Quotes market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that were corroborated by market data.

 

8
 

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that were not corroborated by market data.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable consisted of amounts due from customers based in the United States and abroad. The Company considered accounts more than 30 days old to be past due. The Company used the allowance method for recognizing bad debts. When an account was deemed uncollectible, it was written off against the allowance. The Company generally does not require collateral for its accounts receivable. Management deems all accounts receivable to be collectable at September 30, 2017.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory was stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Market was generally considered to be net realizable value. Inventory consisted of materials used to manufacture the Company’s product and finished goods ready for sale.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation was calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from three to seven years. Expenditures for additions and improvements were capitalized, while repairs and maintenance costs were expensed as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of property and equipment sold or otherwise disposed of were removed from the accounts and any gain or loss was recorded in the year of disposal.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets at least annually. Impairment losses were recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment were present and the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets were less than the assets’ carrying amount. If such assets were impaired, the impairment to be recognized was measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of were reported at the lower of the carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell.

 

Debt Issue Costs

 

The costs related to the issuance of debt were capitalized and amortized to interest expense using the straight-line method over the lives of the related debt. The straight-line method results in amortization that was not materially different from that calculated under the effective interest

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met:

 

(i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
(ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer,
(iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and
(iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

The Company’s product and return policy allows for merchandise purchased directly from the Company to be returned after obtaining a Return Authorization Number during the 30 day period following date of shipment by the Company for a refund of the purchase price.

 

9
 

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs were expensed as incurred. Research and development costs totaled $22,205 and $43,386 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 respectively. Research and development costs totaled $77,784 and $57,699 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Advertising

 

Advertising costs for trade shows and social media were expensed as incurred. Advertising costs of $31,673 and $48,615 were incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Shipping and Freight Costs

 

The Company includes shipping costs in cost of goods sold

 

Gain on settlement of debt

 

The Company has recorded in other income, a gain on settlement of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 in the amount of $102,325. This amount includes $30,000 recorded as Acquisition Note Payable from a transaction originating in 2010, $67,593 recorded in Accounts Payable from a transaction originating in 2011, and $4,732 representing a 50% negotiated settlement of an amount included in Accounts Payable. The Company evaluated the two transactions form 2010 and 2011 pursuant to the Florida Statute of Limitations applicable to the circumstances of each, and has concluded that these amounts are time-barred in Florida, and should be taken into income.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts 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 consolidated financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the consolidated financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities by using estimated tax rates for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

 

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If we determine that the Company would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

 

The Company reports uncertain tax positions in accordance with guidance provided by ASC-740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant, using assumptions for volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. We have used one grouping for the assumptions as our option grants were primarily basic with similar characteristics. The expected term of options granted has been derived based upon our history of actual exercise behavior and represents the period of time that options granted were expected to be outstanding. Historical data was also used to estimate option exercises and employee terminations. Estimated volatility was based upon our historical market price at consistent points in a period equal to the expected life of the options. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant and the dividend yield was based on the historical dividend yield. Compensation expense for stock based compensation is recognized over the vesting period.

 

10
 

 

Income (Loss) per Common Share

 

Basic net loss per share excludes the impact of common stock equivalents. Diluted net income (loss) per share utilizes the average market price per share when applying the treasury stock method in determining common stock equivalents. As of September 30, 2017, and 2016, there were 49,250,000 and 38,000,000 vested common stock options outstanding, which were not included in the calculation of net loss per share-diluted because they were anti-dilutive. In addition, at September 30, 2017 and 2016 the Company had 41,801,793 remaining warrants outstanding issued in connection with convertible promissory notes and stock sales that were also not included because they were anti-dilutive.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued that we adopt as of the specified effective date. We believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective may have an impact on our results of operations and financial position.

 

ASU Update 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) issued May 28, 2014 by FASB and IASB converged guidance on recognizing revenue in contracts with customers on an effective date after December 31, 2017 will be evaluated as to impact and implemented accordingly.

 

ASU Update 2014-15 Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Sub Topic 205-40) issued August 27, 2014 by FASB defines managements responsibility to evaluate whether there is a substantial doubt about an organizations ability to continue as a going concern. The additional disclosure required became effective after December 31, 2016 and has been evaluated accordingly. This did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory, which simplifies the measurement principle of inventories valued under the First-In, First-Out (“FIFO”) or weighted average methods from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value. ASU 2015-1 1 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 including interim periods within those annual periods. This did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as non-current on the consolidated balance sheet. ASU 2015-17 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. Upon adoption, ASU 2015-17 may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. This did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions. This ASU will require organizations that lease assets (“lessees”) to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset on its balance sheet for all leases with terms of more than twelve months. A lease liability is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis and a right-of-use asset represents the lessee’s right to use, or control use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. This ASU leaves the accounting for the organizations that own the assets leased to the lessee (“lessor”) largely unchanged except for targeted improvements to align it with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

 

The amendments in ASU 2016-02 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2016-02 on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Board’s policy with respect to options is to grant options at the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. Options generally become fully vested after one year from the date of grant and expire five years from the date of grant. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 there were 0 and 0 options granted, respectively and 0 and 1,450,000 expired un-exercised, respectively.

(7) Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts 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 consolidated financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the consolidated financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities by using estimated tax rates for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

 

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If we determine that the Company would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

 

In assessing the realizability of its deferred tax assets, management evaluated whether it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of its deferred tax assets, will be realized. The realization of its deferred tax assets relates directly to the Company’s ability to generate taxable income. The valuation allowance is then adjusted accordingly.

 

As of December 31, 2016, based on all the available evidence, management determined that it is more likely than not its deferred tax assets will be fully realized. Accordingly, the valuation allowance was reversed in full and $5,138,687 was recognized as a deferred tax asset at December 31, 2016 with a corresponding income tax benefit also being recognized for the year ended December 31, 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company incurred a net loss, which created an increase in its deferred tax asset with and a corresponding income tax benefit in the amount of $97,726.

(8) Concentration of Credit Risk for Cash

 

The Company has concentrated its credit risk for cash by maintaining deposits in a financial institution, which may at times exceed the amounts covered by insurance provided by the United States Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). At September 30, 2017, the Company had no funds in excess of the FDIC insurance limits.

 

(9) Commitments and Contingencies

 

From time to time the Company may be a party to litigation matters involving claims against the Company. Management believes that there are no current matters that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

Office Lease

 

We do not own any real estate properties. The corporate location for both HighCom Global and HighCom Armor is Columbus, OH. HighCom Armor secured the lease for both the office and the manufacturing plant in Columbus, Ohio. In February 2011, HighCom Armor entered into a six-month lease agreement for approximately 11,200 square feet of office and warehouse space in Columbus, OH. In June 2012, HighCom Armor entered into a one-year lease agreement for approximately 16,200 square feet of office and warehouse space in Columbus, OH. In June 2013, HighCom Armor entered into a three-year lease agreement for approximately 24,160 square feet of office and warehouse space in Columbus, OH. Rental payment under the new lease was $6,967 per month through August 2016. In October 2015, HighCom Armor entered into a three-year lease agreement for approximately 32,155 square feet of office and warehouse space in Columbus, OH. Rental payment under the new lease was $9,863 per month on a month to month basis through June 2016 and is now $9,734 per month through October 2018. Two satellite offices are maintained in Florida and Colorado for additional sales support.

 

Rent expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was approximately $97,443 and $96,882, respectively.

 

Prior Litigation Matter

 

Verde Partners Family Limited Partnership

 

On April 2, 2009, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement to settle our outstanding civil litigation. The Company will pay the sum of $125,000 over 18 months. The first monthly payment was paid within 30 days after the Defendants deliver to the Company’s counsel an original executed version of the Agreement and a promissory note in the amount of the remaining principal balance to bear interest in the amount of 6% per annum. Upon Verde’s receipt of the payment and promissory note, the parties shall jointly dismiss with prejudice all litigation between them, including the Pinellas County action and the Federal action. The company and Verde also entered into a license agreement whereby HighCom Global (f/k/a BlastGard International, Inc.) obtains a fully paid up non-exclusive license for the 2 Verde patents for the remaining life of those patents in exchange for the Company paying Verde a 2% royalty for the life of the patents (which expired in the 2nd quarter of 2012), on the sales price received by HighCom Global for HighCom Global’s portion of all blast mitigation products sold by the company (the royalty was not on any third-party’s portion of any product containing blast mitigation products sold by HighCom Global). The parties also agreed not to file any complaints with any state, federal or international agency or disciplinary body regarding any of the other parties or any person affiliated with any of the other parties or otherwise makes negative statements about them (in other words, a broad non-disparagement clause). The company and Verde also signed mutual general releases (excepting the obligations above) and a covenant not to sue. At September 30, 2017, the Company was in arrears on the final twelve-monthly payments on the settlement.

(10) Material Agreements and Transactions

 

On November 11, 2013, the Board of Directors approved the following transactions: (i) the issuance of 2,000,000 shares to corporate counsel; and pursuant to his position as chairman of the Company’s advisory board an option to purchase 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock which vested on January 1, 2014 and an option to purchase 2,000,000 shares which vested on January 1, 2015, exercisable at $.009 per share. Mr. Kiefner serves as the Company’s corporate counsel; (ii) lowering the conversion price from $.05 per share to $.01 per share of certain notes described in Note 5 in the Notes to Financial Statements; and (iii) granting options to purchase an aggregate of 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock to Michael J. Gordon, Michael L. Bundy and Chad Wright with options exercisable at $.01 per share from the vesting date through the expiration date of said options. These options have cliff vesting where they are exercisable over a period of time, but they can become immediately vested in the event certain revenue goals are achieved. In the event the Company achieves $10 million in sales in a calendar year, 25% of the total options will automatically vest. An additional 25% will vest when the Company achieves $20 million in sales in a calendar year and 50% of the total options granted will automatically vest when the Company achieves $30 million in sales in a calendar year.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized revenues of $1,271,687 as compared to $2,812,357 for the comparable period of the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized revenues of $3,990,199 as compared to $4,757,632 for the comparable period of the prior year. In future operation periods, the Company expects growth through the addition of new distributors and from increased demand for personal body armor for both domestic and international markets.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, gross profit was $542,371 as compared to a gross profit of $957,447 for the comparable period of the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, gross profit was $1,606,723 as compared to $1,600,598 for the comparable period of the prior year. The increased margins are a result of increased pricing as well as more efficient purchasing.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company’s operating expenses were $727,747 as compared to $616,522 for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

The increased operating expenses were due primarily to increases in general and administrative expenses associated with professional services.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company had no other income to report. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, total other income was $96,451, and consisted of a $102,325 gain on settlement of debt, offset by interest expense of $5,874.

Management also believes additional sales of the Company’s HighCom products will be secured during the balance of the fourth quarter and in future operating periods as the Company continues to bid on numerous sizeable contracts.

Various Security and Personal Protective Product Lines Identified

 

HighCom Armor provides a wide range of security products and personal protective gear (including tactical armor) that are tailored and offer protection solutions to specific customer requirements. HighCom Armor caters to local law enforcement agencies, correctional facilities and municipal authorities. Given the equipment and ballistic protection solutions provided by HighCom Armor, compliance with the U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Department of State, U.S. Department of the Treasury and all other governmental agencies’ regulations is a high priority. HighCom Armor has sold its products in the defense and law enforcement sectors and is known for innovative technology, exceptional customer service and superior quality performance.

 

Body armor is classified by the NIJ according to the level of protection it provides from various threats. The classifications are as follows:

 

  Type IIA body armor- minimal protection against smaller caliber handgun threats.
     
  Type II body armor – provides protection against many handgun threats, including many common smaller caliber pistols with standard pressure ammunition, and against many revolvers.
     
  Type IIIA body armor- provides a higher level of protection and will generally protect against most pistol calibers including many law enforcement ammunitions, and against many higher-powered revolvers.
     
  Type III and IV body armor – provides protection against rifle rounds and are generally only used in tactical situations.

 

Our Security Products include the following:

 

  Ballistic helmets
     
  Ballistic soft body armor panels and vests
     
  Ballistic hard armor plates
     
  Ballistic shields
     
  Ballistic blankets

 

In 2015, HighCom Armor completed several new NIJ 0101.06 certifications. Our new hard armor products include: our new 4S17M economical Level IV stand alone in multi curve shapes; our new 3S11 lightweight all PE plate; our new 3S11M lightweight all PE multi curve plate; and our new AR1000 lightweight steel advanced plate. In 2016, we launched a new lightweight Level IV plate; a new multi-hit Level IV plate; a new series of ultra-lightweight helmet solutions; as well as several new soft armor solutions. We also designed a Rifle Special Threat Plate for special operators in SWAT and high-risk task forces.

HighCom Armor now has 11 hard armor NIJ 0101.06 certified ballistic plate models as well as 5 soft armor NIJ 0101.06 certified panel solutions.

 

Manufactured products versus products supplied by third party vendors.

 

HighCom Armor manufactures ballistic plates, ballistic shields, ballistic vests, and ballistic helmets, along with ballistic and bomb-mitigating blankets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.

 

At September 30, 2017, we had cash of $208,068, a positive working capital of $1,978,029, an accumulated deficit of $(9,118,562) and shareholder’s equity of $9,543,908.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net cash provided by operating activities was $171,793 primarily due to collections of accounts receivable and reductions in inventory. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we used cash in investing activities for purchase of property and equipment of $22,304. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we used cash in our financing activities for repayment of notes payable of $211,752.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, net cash provided by operating activities was $316,994 primarily due to our net income of $292,655, adjusted by a gain on derivative liability, a large gain on settlement of debt, amortization and depreciation, a large increase in inventory offset by a large decrease in our accounts receivable. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we used cash in investing activities for purchase of assets of $7,087. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we used cash in our financing activities of $348,053.

 

Since 2016, we benefited from financial resources being provided from operations rather than from additional borrowings. We anticipate that future liquidity requirements will arise to finance our operations, accounts receivable and inventories, and for the need to fund our growth from operations, current debt obligations and capital expenditures. The primary sources of funding for such requirements are expected to be cash generated from operations. If needed, the Company may also raise additional capital through equity and debt financing, including a $500,000 credit line secured by HighCom Armor with Huntington Bank in Columbus, Ohio. We can provide no assurances that cash generated from operations will occur or additional financing beyond the $500,000 credit line will be obtained on terms satisfactory to us, if at all.

 

We have no known demands or commitments and are not aware of any events or uncertainties as of September 30, 2017, that will result in or that are reasonably likely to materially increase or decrease our current liquidity.

 

Application of critical accounting policies

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of our Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and corresponding disclosures at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we continue to evaluate our estimates which in large part are based on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of these estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our short-term money market investments. The Company does not have any financial instruments held for trading or other speculative purposes and does not invest in derivative financial instruments, interest rate swaps or other investments that alter interest rate exposure. The Company does not have any credit facilities with variable interest rates.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports 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 Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15(e). In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective at the reasonable assurance level at the end of our most recent quarter. As part of the Company’s efforts to improve its controls and procedures, management is in the process of establishing an accounting department that will effectively address such matters as risk assessment, segregation of duties, and the reviewing and documentation of all processes.
