WORLDWIDE SPECIALTY CHEMICALS INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(formerly ZEC, INC.)
Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2017
(Unaudited)
1. NATURE OF BUSINESS
Worldwide Specialty Chemicals Inc. (“WSC”), a Delaware corporation formed in March of 2014 and based in downtown Dallas, Texas, is an international specialty chemical company with many products that are friendly to the environment. On February 15, 2017, WSC acquired 100% ownership of KT Chemicals, Inc. (“KT”), a Texas corporation founded in February 2014 (WSC and KT are collectively referred to as the “Company”). KT is also a specialty chemicals company, serving as both manufacturer and distributor of environmentally safe, specialty chemicals. KT is located at 1002 North Central Expressway, Suite 499, Richardson, Texas 75080.
The Company’s products are used in a diverse array of applications, including:
• | Military weapons and Department of Energy Decommissioning and Decontamination (D&D) sites |
• | Military Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosives (CBRNE) sites |
• | Commercial nuclear power plants and nuclear powered ships |
• | Nuclear medicine and research laboratory environments using radioisotopes and hazardous chemicals and substances |
• | Hazardous toxic industrial chemical and toxic industrial material clean-up |
KT’s products utilize all-natural and renewable resources, contain no dangerous chemicals or additives, and offer “green” solutions to its customers. KT’s product line includes asphalt release agents, industrial cleaners, environmental remediation gels, odor control agents, and consumer friendly cleaners for a wide range of uses, including construction, environmental remediation, hazardous materials clean-up, nuclear decommissioning, industrial cleaning, and odor control.
The Company currently operates from several corporate and subsidiary offices around the country. The Company also operates from a 20,000 square foot chemical production and distribution facility, from which it markets a number of specialty chemicals.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting polices consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) is as follows.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of KT Chemicals, Inc. since the date of acquisition. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP") for interim financial reporting and the instructions for Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they include all information and footnote disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of the financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and stockholder’s equity in conformity with US GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position have been included and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s most recently filed Form 10-K as of and for the year end December 31, 2016 that was filed on February 15, 2018.
6 |
Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
FASB ASC 825-10 requires disclosure of fair value information about certain financial instruments, including, but not limited to, cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable. Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The carrying value of the financial instruments included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements approximated their fair values.
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at, or approximate, fair value as of the reporting date because of their short-term nature.
The carrying value of the notes payable approximates fair value as they bear market rates of interest.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share has not been presented because there are no dilutive items. Diluted earnings loss per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive stock options, warrants, and convertible debt are converted or exercised by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Options, warrants and/or convertible debt will have a dilutive effect, during periods of net profit, only when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise or conversion price of the items.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, approximately 3,485,000 common stock warrants and 2,646,000 common stock options were not added to the diluted average shares because inclusion of such warrants would be antidilutive.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances at several financial institutions located throughout the United States, which at times may exceed insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amount and generally do not bear interest. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established, as necessary, based on past experience and other factors which, in management's judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating bad debts. Such factors include growth and composition of accounts receivable, the relationship of the allowance for doubtful accounts to accounts receivable, and current economic conditions. The determination of the collectability of amounts due requires the Company to make judgments regarding future events and trends. Allowances for doubtful accounts are determined based on assessing the Company’s portfolio on an individual customer and on an overall basis. This process consists of a review of historical collection experience, current aging status of the customer account, and the financial condition of the Company’s customers. Based on a review of these factors, the Company establishes or adjusts the allowance for specific customers and the accounts receivable portfolio as a whole. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, an allowance for doubtful accounts was $238,306 and $0, respectively.
7 |
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC topic 605, “Revenue Recognition, and other applicable revenue recognition guidance under US GAAP. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, revenue reported by the Company was for product sales and is recognized when: (i) persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, (ii) the sales terms are fixed or determinable, (iii) title and risk of loss have transferred, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. During the year ended December 31, 2016, revenue reported by the Company was for commissions earned on product sales under previous agreements with KT and was recognized when: (i) persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement existed, (ii) the sales terms were fixed or determinable, (iii) title and risk of loss had been transferred, and (iv) collectability was reasonably assured. During the year ended December 31, 2016, 100% of the Company’s revenue was related to the license agreement with KT.
Inventory
Inventory consisting of finished goods is stated at the lower of cost (first in, first out method) or net realizable value.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for Federal and state income taxes using the asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes based on tax effects of differences between the consolidated financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities.
The Company accounts for all uncertain tax positions in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification 740 – Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties and disclosure related to uncertain income tax positions. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. There were no accrued interest or penalties as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
From time to time, the Company may be audited by taxing authorities. These audits could result in proposed assessments of additional taxes. The Company believes that its tax positions comply in all material respects with applicable tax law. However, tax law is subject to interpretation, and interpretations by taxing authorities could be different from those of the Company, which could result in the imposition of additional taxes. The Company’s federal returns since 2014 are still subject to examination by taxing authorities.
Prepaid Expenses
Prepaid expenses consist of expenses the Company has paid for prior to the service or good being provided. These prepaid expenses will be recorded as expense at the time the service has been provided.
License Fee
Effective December 31, 2016, the Company entered into an Exclusive Patent Licenses Agreement with CBI Polymers, Inc.(“CBI”), pursuant to which the Company would sell DeconGel™ and pay 10% of the net selling price to CBI, as a license fee.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred substantial operating losses during its first two years of operations resulting in an accumulated deficit of $3,628,973 and $1,996,042, and a deficit in equity of $1,478,583 and $945,587 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2017, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are being issued. As such, the Company will need to arrange for additional financing to fully implement its business plan, including continued growth and establishment of a stronger brand.
8 |
The Company is actively seeking growth of its service offerings, both organically and via new client relationships. In the ordinary course of the Company’s business, management is trying to raise additional capital through sales of common stock as well as seeking debt financing from third parties. There are no assurances that additional financing will be available on favorable terms, or at all. If additional financing is not available, the Company will need to reduce, defer or cancel development programs, planned initiatives and overhead expenditures. The failure to adequately fund its capital requirements could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, including potential discontinuance of operations. Moreover, the sale of additional equity securities to raise financing will result in additional dilution to the Company’s stockholders. Additionally, incurring additional indebtedness could involve an increased debt service cash obligation, as well as the imposition of covenants that restrict the Company’s operations or the Company’s ability to perform on its current debt service requirements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Future Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with current GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, unlike current GAAP - which requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet - the new ASU will require both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for the years beginning after December 15, 2018 and for all periods presented. Early application of the amendments in this ASU is permitted. The financial impact of this ASU has not been determined but is not expected to be significant.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU Update No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The amendments in this Update are intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations by clarifying the criteria in determining a principal versus agent relationship. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, an entity should apply the following five steps: (1) identify contracts with customers, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contracts, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue as the entity satisfies performance obligations. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating what impact adoption of this guidance will have on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows and disclosures.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU Update No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The amendments in this Update are to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The financial impact of this ASU is not expected to have a significant on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
3. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable relate to trade receivables from product sales and commissions receivable earned on sales made by the Company. Accounts receivable consist of the following at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:
2017 | 2016 | |||||||
Trade receivables | $ | 155,663 | $ | - | ||||
Commissions receivable from KT (prior to acquisition) | - | 13,600 | ||||||
$ | 155,663 | $ | 13,600 |
4. DUE TO / FROM
CBI
At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company owed CBI $4,463 and $1,667, respectively for license fees payable related to the Company’s Exclusive Patent License Agreement with CBI.
9 |
5. NOTES PAYABLE
On October 5, 2016, the Company assumed $494,919 of convertible promissory notes from CBI. The notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the election of the Holder at any time after issuance, or at the election of the Company at maturity date. The number of shares issuable upon conversion is determined by dividing the principal and accrued interest by $0.40. The interest rate for these issued notes is 12% and each note has a maturity date of December 31, 2016. The maturity date of these notes was extended to June 30, 2017. On July 1, 2017, the notes went into default and as a result, accrued interest at the default interest rate of 15%. The principal and accrued interest balance of these notes at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $556,629 and $509,076, respectively.
During the 4th quarter of 2016, the Company issued $385,000 in principal amount of convertible promissory notes, for cash consideration. The notes provide for conversion into Company common stock, and the number of shares issuable upon conversion is determined by dividing the principal amount plus accrued interest by the conversion price of $1.25. For each $1.00 invested in convertible promissory notes, the investor also received a warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. Each such warrant is exercisable for the period of time ending December 31, 2017. The interest rate for these notes ranges from 6% to 12% for a weighted average of 11.2%, and the notes have maturity dates of December 31, 2016 or June 30, 2017. The notes with original maturities of December 31, 2016 were extended to June 30, 2017. On July 1, 2017, those notes went into default and as a result, accrued interest at the default interest rate of 15%. During the 1st quarter of 2017, the Company issued $1,900,000 in principal amount of convertible promissory notes, for cash consideration. The notes provide for conversion into Company common stock, and the number of shares issuable upon conversion is determined by dividing the principal amount plus accrued interest by the conversion price of $1.25. For each $1.00 invested in convertible promissory notes, the investor also received a warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. Each such warrant is exercisable for the period of time ending December 31, 2017. There were no warrants exercised as of September 30, 2017. The interest rate for these issued notes is 6% and each note has an original maturity date of June 30, 2017 with the option to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2017. During the 2nd quarter of 2017, the Company issued $600,000 in principal amount of convertible promissory notes, for cash consideration. The notes provide for conversion into Company common stock, and the number of shares issuable upon conversion is determined by dividing the principal amount plus accrued interest by the conversion price of $1.25.

Each such warrant is exercisable for the period of time ending December 31, 2017. There were no warrants exercised as of September 30, 2017. The interest rate for these issued notes is 6% and each note has an original maturity date of June 30, 2017 with the option to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2017. The principal and interest balance of these notes at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $3,010,214 and $391,111, respectively.

9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As discussed in Note 1, the Company is in effect a sales representative of CBI pursuant to the Exclusive Patent License Agreement between the Company and CBI. CBI and the Company are companies under the common control of E. Thomas Layton, the Company’s chairman and chief executive officer. There are no other transactions or contracts between CBI and the Company other than those discussed in this report.
Additionally, the Company was also a sales representative of KT Chemicals, Inc., which was partially owned by E. Thomas Layton until immediately prior to the Company’s acquisition of KT (see Note 11).
Throughout 2016, the Company paid consulting fees of $21,503 to a company named Maine Consultants Inc. (Maine) owned by the spouse of E. Thomas Layton. As of October 2016, the Company no longer relied on Maine for any consulting services.
Throughout 2016, the Company incurred consulting fees of $80,000 to a former executive and current shareholder. The unpaid balance due was $50,000 and $80,000 as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively and is included in accounts payable in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
10. INCOME TAXES
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the effective tax rate of 0% varies from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to net losses and the valuation allowance associated with the net operating loss carryforwards. The Company continually reviews the realizability of its deferred tax assets, including an analysis of factors such as future taxable income, reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, and tax planning strategies. The Company continues to record a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. The Company assessed whether a valuation allowance should be established against its deferred tax assets based on consideration of all available evidence, using a “more likely than not” standard. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considered both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. In making such assessment, more weight was given to evidence that could be objectively verified, including recent cumulative losses. Future sources of taxable income were also considered in determining the amount of the recorded valuation allowance. Based on the Company’s review of this evidence at September 30, 2017, management determined that a full valuation allowance against all of the Company’s deferred tax assets at September 30, 2017 was appropriate.
11. BUSINESS ACQUISITION
Effective February 15, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of KT Chemicals, Inc., a specialty chemicals company located in Richardson, Texas. Under the terms of the acquisition, the Company acquired 100% of KT Chemicals’ stock for cash and stock. The Company agreed to pay to KT Chemicals stockholders $2,700,000 in cash by December 31, 2017 and issue 520,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $0.015 per share for a total stock value of $7,800 in exchange for all outstanding shares of KT Chemicals’ common stock.
The primary asset acquired from KT Chemicals is the expertise of KT, which the Company believes it will be able to leverage in maximizing the sales of specialty chemicals on a go forward basis. As of February 15, 2017, these factors contributed to a purchase price in excess of the fair value of KT Chemicals’ tangible assets acquired, and, as a result, the Company has recorded goodwill in the amount of $2,294,952 in connection with this transaction. Goodwill, as a result of this acquisition, is not deductible for tax purposes. The Company is in the process of finalizing the purchase price allocation and accordingly, the preliminary allocation of the purchase price is subject to adjustment.
The transaction resulted in recording assets, liabilities and goodwill at preliminary estimated fair value as follows (unaudited):

The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with its unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The discussion contained herein contains "forward-looking statements" that involve risk and uncertainties. These statements may be identified by the use of terminology such as "believes," "expects," "may," "should" or anticipates" or expressing this terminology negatively or similar expressions or by discussions of strategy. The cautionary statements made in this Form 10-Q should be read as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this Form 10-Q. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those discussed in this report.
BUSINESS AND PLAN OF OPERATION
Worldwide Specialty Chemicals Inc., based in downtown Dallas, Texas, is an international specialty chemical company with many products that are friendly to the environment. The common description is “green chemicals.” The Company has degreed chemists on staff with years of successful experience in the specialty chemical industry. The term “specialty chemicals” is best defined by those chemicals whose formulas allow the chemical compounds to perform a specific function for a class of customers. The Company’s products have been used successfully in a diverse array of applications, including:
· | Military weapons and Department of Energy Decommissioning and Decontamination (D&D) sites |
· | Military Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosives (CBRNE) sites |
· | Commercial nuclear power plants and nuclear powered ships |
· | Nuclear medicine and research laboratory environments using radioisotopes and hazardous chemicals and substances |
· | Hazardous toxic industrial chemical and toxic industrial material clean-up |
The Company currently operates from several corporate and subsidiary offices around the country. One subsidiary operates from a 20,000 square foot chemical production and distribution facility, from which it markets a number of specialty chemicals. Most of the chemical formulas are protected by patents or trade secrets. For certain specific markets, the Company provides customized applications systems that assure safe and proportioned product delivery. The Company may elect to apply for patents on one or more of the application systems.
The parent company, Worldwide Specialty Chemicals Inc., is a Delaware corporation formed in March of 2014. On February 15, 2017, the Company acquired 100% ownership of KT Chemicals, Inc., a Texas corporation founded in February 2014. WSC anticipates continuing to acquire, merge with, and/or start other industry specific specialty chemical subsidiaries.
KT Chemicals, Inc. is also a specialty chemicals company, serving as both manufacturer and distributor of environmentally safe, specialty chemicals. KT Chemicals is located at 1002 North Central Expressway, Suite 499, Richardson, Texas 75080. KT Chemicals’ products utilize all-natural and renewable resources, contain no dangerous chemicals or additives, and offer “green” solutions to its customers. Its product line includes asphalt release agents, industrial cleaners, environmental remediation gels, odor control agents, and consumer friendly cleaners for a wide range of uses, including construction, environmental remediation, hazardous materials clean-up, nuclear decommissioning, industrial cleaning, and odor control. KT Chemicals takes pride in noting that all of the ingredients in its products are selected from the EPA’s Design for the Environment (DfE) list.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the three-month and nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, the primary sources of liquidity were cash flows from financing activities, and in particular, proceeds from issuance of convertible notes payable and the sale of common stock.
As of September 30, 2017, the Company had total assets of $3,348,103, consisting of current assets of $267,468 in cash, $155,663 in receivables, $41,411 in inventory, and $11,995 in other current assets and long term assets of $2,294,952 in goodwill and $576,614 in fixed assets. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had total assets of $77,228, consisting of current assets $50,202 in cash, $13,600 in receivables, $7,684 in inventory and $5,742 in prepaid expenses. The increase in total assets of $3,270,875, was largely the result of the purchase of KT.
As of September 30, 2017, the Company had total liabilities totaling $4,826,686 including $167,231 in accounts payable and accrued expenses, $4,536,843 in convertible notes and $118,149 in notes payable. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had total liabilities totaling $1,022,815 including $120,961 in accounts payable and accrued expenses, and $900,187 in convertible notes. The increase in liabilities of $3,803,871, was largely the result of issuing convertible notes payable to purchase KT and to provide working capital for the Company’s operations related to its sales, marketing and operating efforts.
14 |
At September 30, 2017, the Company had an accumulated stockholders’ deficit of $1,478,583, and $945,587 at December 31, 2016. The increase is a result of the items discussed above.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company realized only modest revenues from sales of products during the past year. On February 15, 2017, the Company acquired KT Chemicals, Inc. and as a result, revenues during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 were $355,159 and revenues during the quarter ended September 30, 2016 were $20,936. During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, the Company concentrated its efforts on (a) testing and marketing of its products; (b) customer acquisition; and (c) sourcing and developing new products to fulfill customers’ requirements.
Comparison of the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016.
Revenues
For the three-month period ended September 30, 2017, the Company had revenues of $355,159, and for the same period in 2016, the Company had revenues of $20,936. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, the Company had revenues of $855,663, and for the same period in 2016 it had revenues of $26,414. The increase in revenues is primarily the result of the acquisition of KT.
Operating Expenses
For the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017, the Company’s operating expenses totaled $705,884 and $1,891,661, respectively. During the same periods in 2016, the Company’s operating expenses totaled $405,310 and $859,539, respectively. The increase in each period is primarily related to an increase in professional fees relating to marketing and business development, bad debt expense and payroll cost due to the acquisition of KT and stock compensation expense.
GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented on a going concern basis. The Company's financial condition raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has limited cash and other material assets and minimal revenues from operations during the three months and nine months periods ended September 30, 2017. The Company is relying on capital from investors to meet the majority of its operating expenses.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company’s management, with the participation of its President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of such date, its disclosure controls and procedures are not effective.
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
As indicated in the Company’s Form 10-K/A filed on February 15, 2018, the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was not effective during the 2016 fiscal year at the reasonable assurance level, as a result of a material weakness primarily related to a lack of a sufficient number of personnel with appropriate training and experience in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), inadequate segregation of duties, and lack of audit committee and outside directors.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
During the period covered by this report, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
The Company believes that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within any company have been detected.
15 |
None.
There have been no material changes to the risks to the Company’s business from those described in its Form 10-K/A for the year end December 31, 2016 as filed with the SEC on February 15, 2018.
