Explanatory Note

 

Asia Equity Exchange Group, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 (this “Form 10-Q/A”) to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 10, 2017 (the “Form 10-Q”), for the purpose of correcting an inappropriate accounting policy adopted for Goodwill arising from reverse acquisition of a public shell company. The acquisition of AEEGCL and its subsidiaries by the Company in 2016 should be accounted for as a reverse acquisition under which no goodwill shall be recorded and it shall be charged as capital deficiency.

 

In connection with the restatement of our consolidated financial statements described herein, management re-evaluated the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. It was determined that a weakness existed due to management’s inability to identify the accounting implications and to follow internal controls over financial reporting relating to the rules of ASC 805, Business Combinations.

 

In relating to this weakness, management will implement and provide enhanced education of the Company’s financial reporting staff on ASC 805 and ensure the Company complies with all aspects of the accounting standards.

 

For convenience of the readers, this amended filing sets forth the original filing in its entirety. The following items have been amended principally as a result of, and to reflect, the restatement:

 

Part I, Item 1 - Financial Statements (unaudited)

 

Part I, Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Part I, Item 4 - Controls and Procedures

 

In accordance with applicable SEC rules, this Amended Filing includes new certifications as required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) from our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer dated as of the date of filing of this Amended Filing.

 

The remaining items contained within this amended report consist of all other items originally contained in the Form 10-Q and are included for the convenience of the reader. The sections of the Form 10-Q which were not amended are unchanged and continue in full force and effect as originally filed. This amended report speaks as of the date of the original filing and has not been updated to reflect events occurring subsequent to the original filing other than those associated with the restatement of our financial statements.

ASIA EQUITY EXCHANGE GROUP, INC.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 -ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Asia Equity Exchange Group, Inc. (“the Company” or “AEEX”) is a Nevada corporation incorporated on July 15, 2013, under the name “I In The Sky, Inc.” (“SYYF”). The Company filed a name change to AEEX with the state of Nevada on July 22, 2015. It is based in Hong Kong, the People’s Republic of China. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and the Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31.

 

The Company’s original business plan was to manufacture and market low cost GPS tracking devices and software to businesses and families. However, this business was not successful and the Company had no revenues generated from its business until April 12, 2016 when it completed the reverse acquisition of Asian Equity Exchange Group Company Limited (“AEEGCL”).

 

On November 30, 2015, the Company executed a Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to acquire 100% of the shares and assets of AEEGCL (the “Acquisition”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued one billion (1,000,000,000) shares of common stock to the former owners of AEEGCL. The closing of the Acquisition took place on April 12, 2016. As a result, AEEGCL became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the business of AEEGCL became current business of the Company. The Company had a total of 146,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Acquisition. After the closing of the Acquisition, the Company had a total of 1,146,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding, with the former owners of AEEGCL owning 87.3% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

AEEGCL was incorporated under the laws of Samoa on May 29, 2015. It offers an international equity assistance and information service platform designed to provide listing assistance services, equity investment financing information and public relationship services to enterprises in Asia, mainly in China. AEEGCL owns 100% of AEEX (HK) International Financial Service Limited (formerly known as Yinfu International Enterprise Limited, “AEEX HK”), a Hong Kong corporation incorporated on December 22, 2014. AEEX HK owns 100% of Asian & American Consultant (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (formerly known as Yinfu Guotai Investment Consultant (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., “AACCL”), a corporation incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) on April 15, 2015. Both AEEX HK and AACCL are engaged in the provision of investment and corporate management consultancy services.

 

The acquisition of AEEGCL and its subsidiaries by the Company was accounted for as a reverse merger because on a post-merger basis, the former shareholders of AEEGCL held a majority of the outstanding common stock of the Company on a voting and fully-diluted basis. As a result, AEEGCL is deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statement data presented are those of AEEGCL, recorded at the historical basis of AEEGCL, for all periods prior to the Company’s acquisition of AEEGCL on April 12, 2016, and the financial statements of the historical operations of the consolidated companies from the effective date of the closing of the Acquisition.

 

The Company aims to build and complement the multi-layer capital market system in Asia, and create a unique and authoritative intercontinental equity information platform which will effectively complement in business functions, service means and financing channels with over the counter markets in countries and regions in Asia. AEEX also endeavours to build a system of global cooperation to provide listed enterprises with equity financing means through domestic and overseas channels, and to offer nurturing pre-listing tutoring, incubating and supporting services for their listings on overseas capital markets.

Reverse Stock Split

 

On July 21, 2017, the Board of Directors of Asia Equity Exchange Group, Inc. approved a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, per value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a ratio of 1-for-10 (the “Reverse Stock Split”) as of July 31, 2017 (the “Effective Date”).

 

Before the Effective Date, the Company was authorized to issue 3,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock and had 1,146,000,000 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. Simultaneously with the Reverse Stock Split, the Company decreased its authorized Common Stock to 300,000,000 shares. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the Company currently has 114,600,000 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding (subject to adjustment due to the effect of rounding fractional shares into whole shares).

 

The Reverse Stock Split does not have any effect on the stated par value of the Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split does not affect the Company’s authorized preferred stock. There are no outstanding shares of the Company’s preferred stock. After the Reverse Stock Split, the Company’s authorized preferred Stock of 1,000,000 shares will remain unchanged. Immediately after the Reverse Stock Split, each stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company and proportional voting power remains virtually unchanged except for minor changes and adjustments resulting from rounding fractional shares into whole shares. The rights and privileges of the holders of shares of Common Stock are substantially unaffected by the Reverse Stock Split.

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial information as of June 30, 2017 and for the six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures, which are normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have not been included. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of AEEGCL for the period ended December 31, 2016.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include all significant normal and recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2017, its interim condensed consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, as applicable, have been made. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The estimates and judgments will also affect the reported amounts for certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these good faith estimates and judgments.

 

6
 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of term deposits with maturities of less than three months from inception, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which, in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets consist of computer software and are recorded at cost. Amortization is calculated using the straight line method over the estimated useful life of the computer software, which is 5 years.

 

Property, Plant and Equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The useful lives are as follows:

 

  Office equipment 5 years
  Motor vehicles 5 years

 

Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Expenditures which substantially increase the useful lives of the related assets are capitalized. When properties are disposed of the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reported in the period the transaction takes place.

 

Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets

 

The Company tests its indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually (as of December 31) and whenever events or circumstances change that indicate impairment may have occurred. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. Such indicators may include, among others: a significant decline in the Company’s expected future cash flows; a sustained, significant decline in the Company’s stock price and market capitalization; a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate of its segments; unanticipated competition; and slower growth rates. Any adverse change in these factors could have a significant impact on the recoverability of the indefinite-lived intangible assets and the Company’s consolidated financial results.

 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

The long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. Determination of recoverability of assets to be held and used is by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. During the periods presented, the Company did not impair any plant and equipment .

 

7
 

 

Income Tax

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC Topic 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under ASC Topic 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.

 

The provision for income tax is based on the results for the period as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

 

Deferred income taxes are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

 

ASC Topic 740 also prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken, or for one expected to be taken, in a tax return. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance related to, among other things, classification, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, and disclosure requirements. Any interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits will be recorded as tax expense.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” which defines 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 the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. A fair value hierarchy based on the three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable, is used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1: Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active markets from readily available pricing sources such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices) such as quoted prices active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar as or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

 

The carrying values of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, balances with directors and related parties, other receivables and other payables approximate their fair value due to the short maturities of these financial instruments. The Company did not have financial assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016.

Earnings Per Share

 

The Company has adopted ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share,” (“EPS”) which requires presentation of basic EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there was no dilutive security outstanding.

 

Comprehensive Income

 

Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.

Comprehensive income includes net income and the foreign currency translation gain, net of tax.

 

Segment Reporting

 

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company. Management determined that the Company’s operations constitute a single reportable segment in accordance with ASC 280. The Company operates exclusively in one business segment: the operations of an equity information service platform designed to provide equity investment financing information to all enterprises in Asia.

The following management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report. Our financial statements are prepared in US. Dollars and in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

Overview of Our Business

 

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 15, 2013, under the name “I In The Sky, Inc.” On July 22, 2015, we changed the company name to “Asia Equity Exchange Group, Inc.” Our original business plan was to manufacture and market low cost GPS tracking devices and software to businesses and families. However, this business was not successful and we had no revenues generated from our business until April 12, 2016 when we completed our reverse acquisition of AEEGCL.

 

AEEGCL is a company incorporated under the laws of Samoa on May 29, 2015. Effective November 30, 2015, we executed a Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to acquire 100% of the shares and assets of AEEGCL, in exchange for one billion (1,000,000,000) shares of common stock of the Company that were issued to the former owners of AEEGCL. The transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement were closed on April 12, 2016. As a result, our previous business plan was terminated and we are currently engaged in the business of AEEGCL.

 

14
 

 

AEEGCL offers an international equity assistance and information service platform designed to provide member registration services, equity investment financing information to enterprises in Asia, mainly in China. Currently 40 companies are registered with us, and additional 10 companies are in the process of preparing the necessary documents for registration with us. All companies currently registered with us are located in China, as are the additional companies in the process of registration.

 

Our member registration services refer to our equity investment and financing information dissemination platform. All medium and small-sized enterprises in Asia can apply to register with us. They can distribute their basic information, project status, financial status and equity structure information through our platform to attract individual and institutional investors all over the world. Our current focus is on helping companies in China with their financing needs. We also plan to offer our services in other Asian countries where we can assist with increasing a company’s public and investor awareness, enhancing its investor relationship and meeting its financing needs. Where we can, we will assist companies by recommending appropriate legal as well as accounting services. We do not work with companies planning to become SEC reporting companies or that intend to begin trading on U.S. markets.

 

AEEGCL owns 100% of AEEX HK, a Hong Kong corporation incorporated on December 22, 2014. AEEX HK owns 100% of Asian & American Consultant (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., a corporation incorporated in the PRC on April 15, 2015. Both AEEX HK and AACCL are engaged in the provision of investment and corporate management consultancy services.

 

The acquisition of AEEGCL and its subsidiaries by us was accounted for as a reverse merger because on a post-merger basis, the former shareholders of AEEGCL held a majority of our outstanding common stock on a fully-diluted basis. As a result, AEEGCL is deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statement data presented are those of AEEGCL, recorded at the historical basis of AEEGCL, for all periods prior to our acquisition of AEEGCL on April 12, 2016, and the financial statements of the historical operations of the consolidated companies from the effective date of the closing of the reverse merger.

 

We generated revenues of $649,890 and $nil for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We had a net profit of $329,896 and a net loss of $352,234 in the second quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively As of June 30, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of $62,379 and net assets of $1,055,852.

We plan to fund the operations through equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund our capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining any financing at terms satisfactory to us, or any financing at all.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We prepare our financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make certain estimates and apply judgments. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be important at the time the condensed financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, current trends and other factors considered support the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, actual results could differ from our estimates and such differences could be material.

 

While we believe that the historical experience, current trends and other factors considered support the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, actual results could differ from our estimates and such differences could be material.

 

Our significant accounting policies are described more fully in Note 2 to our accompanying condensed financial statements. We believe the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating this Management Discussion and Analysis.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of AEEX and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The estimates and judgments will also affect the reported amounts for certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these good faith estimates and judgments.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of term deposits with maturities of less than three months from inception, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which, in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value.

 

Property, plant and equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The useful lives are as follows:

 

Office equipment   5 years
Motor vehicles   5 years

 

Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Expenditures which substantially increase the useful lives of the related assets are capitalized. When properties are disposed of, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reported in the period the transaction takes place.

 

19
 

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

The long-lived assets held and used by us are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. Determination of recoverability of assets to be held and used is by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. During the periods presented, we did not impair any plant and equipment.

 

Revenue recognition

 

We recognize revenue from the sale of products and services in accordance with ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition.” Revenue will be recognized only when all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence for an agreement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been provided, the price or fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management has carried out an evaluation, with the participation and under the supervision of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2017. Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information 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. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes 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 is required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures.

 

We did not maintain effective controls related to the accounting for the transaction of reverse acquisition. Specifically, the Company accounted for goodwill arising from such transaction which is inappropriate under accounting rules of ASC 805, Business Combination. It classifies that the transaction is equivalent to the issuance of stock by the private company for the net monetary assets of the shell corporation, accompanied by a recapitalization. The accounting is identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, except that no goodwill should be recorded. The control deficiency resulted in an adjustment to goodwill and capital deficiency. As a result of this material error, management concluded a material weakness exists in the Company’s internal controls related to the administration of share repurchases and controls were ineffective at timely detecting and correcting errors related to reverse acquisition in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Management conducted its evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer.Based upon, and as of the date of this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of June 30, 2017 because of the following material weaknesses that our management identified in our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30 , 2017:

 

  1. Inadequate Segregation of Duties: We have an inadequate number of personnel to properly implement control procedures.
     
  2. Insufficient Written Policies & Procedures: We have insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. We have an inadequate financial statement closing process.
     
  3. We do not have independent directors or an audit committee.

 

Management is committed to improving its internal controls and will (1) continue to use third party specialists to address shortfalls in staffing and to assist the Company with accounting and finance responsibilities, (2) increase the frequency of independent reconciliations of significant accounts which will mitigate the lack of segregation of duties until there are sufficient personnel, (3) prepare and implement sufficient written policies and checklists for financial reporting and closing processes, and (4) may consider appointing outside directors and audit committee members in the future.

 

20
 

 

We intend to complete the remediation of the material weaknesses discussed above as soon as practicable but we can give no assurance that we will be able to do so. Designing and implementing an effective disclosure controls and procedures is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to devote significant resources to maintain a financial reporting system that adequately satisfies our reporting obligations. The remedial measures that we have taken and intend to take may not fully address the material weakness that we have identified, and material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures may be identified in the future. Should we discover such conditions, we intend to remediate them as soon as practicable. We are committed to taking appropriate steps for remediation, as needed.

 

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

 

Except for the matters described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. We are currently not aware of any legal proceedings or claims that would require disclosure under Item 103 of Regulation S-K. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.
