Vegalab, Inc. (formerly HPC Acquisitions, Inc.)

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2018

(Unaudited)

 

Note A - Organization and Description of Business

 

Vegalab Inc. (formerly HPC Acquisitions, Inc.) (the “Company”) was initially formed under the laws of the State of Minnesota as Herky Packing Co. on July 17, 1968. The Company initially produced and marketed meat snack foods, principally beef jerky, smoked dried beef and snack sausages, through food brokers, distributors and wagon jobbers. Despite a 1970 restructuring, including the relocation to an approximate 12,500 square foot production facility, the Company’s efforts were unsuccessful and all operations were terminated by the end of 1970. On April 10, 1972, the Company changed its corporate name to H. P. C. Incorporated. In connection with this name change, the Company acquired Ed Stein’s Tire Center, Inc., a Minneapolis, Minnesota-based distributor of Gates tires. This acquisition was unsuccessful and reversed in 1973.

 

On August 7, 2006, the Company changed its state of incorporation from Minnesota to Nevada by means of a merger with and into HPC Acquisitions, Inc., a Nevada corporation formed on June 12, 2006 solely for the purpose of effecting the reincorporation. The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Nevada Corporation are the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the surviving corporation. Such Articles of Incorporation modified the Company’s capital structure to allow for the issuance of up to 50,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock and up to 10,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value preferred stock.

 

On March 8, 2016, the Company sold 12,011,000 shares of its common stock to David Selakovic for a total cash purchase price of $303,100. This transaction effected a change in management and control of the Company. Mr. Selakovic assigned to the Company certain assets consisting of the exclusive right to distribute in the Western Hemisphere natural agrochemicals developed by ECOWIN Co., Ltd., a Korean company, certain state permits for the sale of ECOWIN agrochemicals, and the trademark “Vegalab” (the “DS Assets”).Our new plan of operation is to commence the business of selling ECOWIN products under the brand name “Vegalab” and the business of selling citrus products under the brand name “M&G”.

 

The Company is currently in the business of selling the ECOWIN products under the “Vegalab” name in the United States of America. The Company’s current sole source of supply of ECOWIN products is through Vegalab S. A., a Swiss company solely owned by David Selakovic, the Company’s controlling shareholder and sole officer and director.

 

On October 18, 2017, the Company purchased substantially all the assets of a produce packaging business conducted under the name M&G Packing, Inc. located in Tulare County, California. The acquisition consisted of purchasing the real property and building used in the business from M & G Farms, Inc., a California corporation, and all of the equipment, inventory, customers, suppliers, contract rights, and intangible property from M&G Packing, Inc., a California corporation.

 

On November 6, 2017, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to Vegalab, Inc.

 

On December 29, 2017, Vegalab exercised an option to purchase The Agronomy Group LLC, a California limited liability company (“TAG”). On January 22, 2018, Vegalab and TAG entered into a Member Units Purchase Agreement under which Vegalab agreed to purchase all of the member units in TAG from its two members for a total of 600,000 shares of common stock of Vegalab, and warrants to purchase 1,600,000 shares of the common stock of Vegalab at an exercise price of $1.20 per share exercisable over a term of five years. The acquisition was closed February 20, 2018, effective February 1, 2018.

 

Note B - Preparation of Financial Statements

 

The Company follows the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and has a fiscal year-end of December 31.

 

 6 

 

 

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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

During interim periods, the Company follows the accounting policies set forth in its annual audited financial statements filed with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission on its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim financial statements, prepared in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s instructions for Form 10-Q, should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s annual report filed with the SEC on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, and are unaudited and contain all material adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the respective interim periods presented. The current period results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results which ultimately will be reported for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2017.

 

Note C - Going Concern Uncertainty

 

The Company’s principal business plan is to distribute, in the Western Hemisphere, certain natural agrochemicals developed by ECOWIN Co., Ltd., a Korean company, under the brand name “Vegalab”. The Company also operates a produce packaging business. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully penetrate its targeted markets or implement its business plan.

 

The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to support its daily operations as well as provide sufficient resources to retire existing liabilities and obligations on a timely basis. The Company faces considerable risk in its business plan. If insufficient operating capital is available during the next twelve months, the Company will be forced to rely on existing cash in the bank and additional funds loaned by management and/or significant stockholders.

 

The Company’s former majority stockholder previously provided the necessary working capital to maintain the corporate status of the Company. It is the current intent of management and significant stockholders to provide sufficient working capital, if necessary, to support and preserve the integrity of the corporate entity. However, no formal commitments or arrangements to advance or loan funds to the Company or repay any such advances or loans exist. There is no legal obligation for either management or significant stockholders to provide additional future funding.

 

The Company anticipates offering future sales of equity securities. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional funding through the sales of additional equity securities or, that such funding, if available, will be obtained on terms favorable to or affordable by the Company.

 

The Company’s certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock and 50,000,000 shares of common stock. The Company’s ability to issue preferred stock may limit the Company’s ability to obtain debt or equity financing as well as impede potential takeover of the Company, which takeover may be in the best interest of stockholders. The Company’s ability to issue these authorized but unissued securities may also negatively impact our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of our debt or equity securities.

 

In such a restricted cash flow scenario, the Company would be unable to complete its business plan steps, and would, instead, delay all cash intensive activities. Without necessary cash flow, the Company may become dormant during the next twelve months, or until such time as necessary funds could be raised in the equity securities market.

 

While the Company is of the opinion that good faith estimates of the Company’s ability to secure additional capital in the future to reach its goals have been made, there is no guarantee that the Company will receive sufficient funding to sustain operations or implement any future business plan steps. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue to operate as a going concern for the twelve months following the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note D - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

 

1.Principle of consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Vegalab, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, M&G Packaging Inc, and The Agronomy Group LLC. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-K. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of a normal and recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018.

 

2.Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents.

 

2.Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Sales to three customers comprised 46%, 31% and 22% of the Company's product sales revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2018. the one customer accounted for 92%  accounts receivable as of March 31, 2018.

 

Sales to three customers comprised 29%, 12% and 12% of the Company's processing revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Four customers accounted of 68% or 20%, 19%, 18% and 11% of accounts receivable as of March 31, 2018. Sales to two customers comprised 60% and 28% of the Company’s total revenues for the Three months ended March 31, 2017. Two customers accounted for 78% and 8% of accounts receivable, respectively, as of December 31, 2017. The Company believes that, in the event that its primary customers are unable or unwilling to continue to purchase the Company’s goods, there are a number of alternative customers at comparable prices.

 

3.Accounts Receivable

 

In the normal course of business, the Company extends unsecured credit to virtually all of its customers which are located throughout the United States. Because of the credit risk involved, management has provided an allowance for doubtful accounts which reflects its opinion of amounts which will eventually become uncollectible. In the event of complete non-performance, the maximum exposure to the Company is the recorded amount of trade accounts receivable shown on the balance sheet at the date of non-performance. March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company recorded allowances of $9,154 and $2,915, respectively, for doubtful accounts from certain sales that occurred but not assessed to be collectible.

  

4.Inventory

 

Inventory consists of finished goods related to the sale of certain natural agrochemicals developed by ECOWIN Co., Ltd., a Korean company, under the brand name “Vegalab”. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market using the average cost method. A change in income is taken when factors that would result in a need for a reduction in the valuation, such as excess or obsolete inventory, are noted. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there was no reserve for excess or obsolete inventory. M&G Farms from time to time holds customer’s inventory on a consignment basis until it is sold. As of March 31, 2018 there was no consignment inventory held by the Company.

 

5.Property, plant and equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated by using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, excluding lands, which is five years for all categories and ten years for buildings.

 

 8 

 

 

Automobile, computer equipment, and leasehold improvements consisted of the following:

 

   March 31, 2018   December 31, 2017 
         
Automobile  $14,261   $14,261 
Land   141,000    142,475 
Building   199,338    374,338 
Machinery and equipment   749,468    490,791 
Total   1,104,067    1,021,865 
Impairment recognized upon acquisition   -    (179,452)
Impairment recognized subsequent to acquisition   -    (729)
Accumulated depreciation   (80,603)   (20,362)
Balance at the end of period  $1,023,464   $821,322 

 

Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $38,060 and $0, respectively.

 

6.Note Payable

On October 18, 2017, the Company purchased substantially all the assets of a produce packaging business conducted under the name M&G Packing, Inc. located in Tulare County, California. The total purchase price for the business plus closing costs was $854,452, which was paid $429,452 in cash and $425,000 in the form of a promissory note secured by the real property that bears interest at the rate of 6.0% per annum with interest only payable monthly and all principal and interest due 18 months from the close of escrow on October 24, 2017. On January 26, 2018, the Company issued 25,000 shares of common stock to M&G Farms, Inc., which was credited as a payment of $75,000 of principal and interest on the promissory note from the Company to M&G Farms from the Company to M&G Farms.

7.Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recognized when the earnings process is completed, the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer, which is generally the same day as delivery or shipment of the product, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. All sales are recorded when the goods are shipped.

 

The Company ships all product and fruit on an FOB-Plant, “as-is” basis. Accordingly, revenue is recognized by the Company at the point at which an order is shipped at a fixed price, collection is reasonably assured and the Company has no remaining performance obligations related to the sale. The Company sells all products and fruit with “no right of return” by the purchaser for any factor other than defects in the products.

 

8.Income (Loss) per Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the respective period presented in our accompanying financial statements.

 

Fully diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic income (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of common stock equivalents (primarily outstanding options and warrants).

 

Common stock equivalents represent the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of the outstanding stock options and warrants, using the treasury stock method, at either the beginning of the respective period presented or the date of issuance, whichever is later, and only if the common stock equivalents are considered dilutive based upon the Company’s net income (loss) position at the calculation date.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company’s potentially dilutive shares, which include outstanding common stock options that have not been included in the computation of diluted net loss per share as the result would have been anti-dilutive.

   December 31,

Options   448,000    448,000 
Warrants   1,600,000      
Total   2,048,000    448,000 

 

9.Amortization and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Amortization and impairment of long-lived assets are non-cash expenses relating primarily to non-compete agreements and trademarks website acquisitions. The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360-10, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". This statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Non-compete provisions are amortized over five years and trademark and other intangibles are amortized over 10 years. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are 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.

 

10.Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which will amend current lease accounting to require lessees to recognize (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 does not significantly change lease accounting requirements applicable to lessors; however, certain changes were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

 

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016–10 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. The amendments in this Update do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606. Rather, the amendments in this Update clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. Topic 606 includes implementation guidance on (a) contracts with customers to transfer goods and services in exchange for consideration and (b) determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). The amendments in this Update are intended render more detailed implementation guidance with the expectation to reduce the degree of judgement necessary to comply with Topic 606. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

 

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” ASU 2016 - provides guidance regarding the classification of certain items within the statement of cash flows.  ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted.  The Company does not believe this ASU will have an impact on our results of operation, cash flows, other than presentation, or financial condition.

 

On November 17, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash”, a consensus of the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force (the “Task Force”). The new standard requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Entities will also be required to reconcile such total to amounts on the balance sheet and disclose the nature of the restrictions. ASU No. 2016-18 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company does not believe this ASU will have an impact on our results of operation, cash flows, other than presentation, or financial condition.

The Company does not expect the adoption of other recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 

Note E – Acquisition of Business

 

On December 29, 2017, Vegalab exercised an option to purchase The Agronomy Group LLC, a California limited liability company (“TAG”). On January 22, 2018, Vegalab and TAG entered into a Member Units Purchase Agreement under which Vegalab agreed to purchase all of the member units in TAG from its two members for a total of 600,000 shares of the common stock of Vegalab, and warrants to purchase 1,600,000 shares of the common stock of Vegalab at an exercise price of $1.20 per share exercisable over a term of five years. The acquisition was closed February 20, 2018, effective February 1, 2018. The Company recognized the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from TAG at their fair value on the acquisition date, and the excess in purchase price over these values it was allocated to intangible assets and goodwill. The estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, were determined based on management’s best estimates. Preliminary estimated fair values are subject to measurement period adjustments which represent updates made to the preliminary purchase price allocation based on revisions to valuation estimates in the interim period subsequent to the acquisition and initial accounting date up until the purchase price allocation is finalized which cannot be any later than one year from the acquisition date. The Company engaged a third-party valuation specialist to assist in the valuation and is in the process of completing its assessment of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Thus the preliminary measurement of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are subject to change, which could be significant. The Company will finalize the amounts recognized no later than one year from the acquisition date.

 

The following table shows the preliminary purchase price, estimated acquisition-date fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and calculation of goodwill for TAG utilizing the information at acquisition date. All numbers are in 000s except shares and warrants.

Current assets  $152

Issuance of 1,600,000 warrants   1,676

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

 

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Information

 

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the audited December 31, 2017 Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto, along with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

This document contains statements that are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, which address activities, actions, goals, prospects, or new developments that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future, including such things as expansion and growth of our operations and other such matters are forward-looking statements. Any one or a combination of factors could materially affect our operations and financial condition. These factors include competitive pressures, success or failure of marketing programs, changes in pricing and availability of products offered to customers, legal and regulatory initiatives affecting our products, and conditions in the capital markets. Forward-looking statements made by us are based on knowledge of our business and the environment in which we operate as of the date of this report. Because of the factors discussed in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K and factors disclosed in subsequent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, actual results may differ from those in the forward-looking statements.

 

General

 

Vegalab, Inc., formerly HPC Acquisitions, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) is the exclusive North and South America distributor of Vegalab products supplied by Vegalab SA, Switzerland (“VSA”). The Company operates in two segments of the food industry; the Agronomy Business and the Packing Business. The Agronomy Business involves the manufacture and distribution of all natural crop protection, crop health, and soil enhancement products. The Packing Business operates a citrus packing facility. Because growers who use our crop protection and plant health products are potential users of our citrus packing services, and vice versa, management believes that these two business units are complementary and will create synergistic growth for both business units.

 

Vegalab products consist of biological pesticides, fertilizers, and specialty biological agents that are highly effective against targeted organisms, non-toxic to beneficial organisms, and safe for the environment. The Company holds registrations for its products in a number of US states, Costa Rica, and Panama, and is pursuing additional registrations domestically and in Canada, Mexico, and Central/ South America.

 

Recent Development

 

In February of 2018, the Company acquired The Agronomy Group, LLC, a California limited liability company (“TAG”), a producer and distributor of environmentally friendly agrochemicals. TAG had been our top U.S. sales organization, so the acquisition significantly expanded the Company’s internal marketing capabilities. Furthermore, the TAG product line complemented the existing Vegalab product line, and thus increased the number of products that we have available to offer our customers. The purchase price for TAG was paid by the delivery of 600,000 shares of common stock of Vegalab, and a warrant to purchase 1,600,000 shares of common stock of Vegalab at an exercise price of $1.20 per share exercisable over a term of five years.

 

Results of Operations

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recognized total revenues of $7,288,629 compared to $208,816 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Revenue from the sale of Vegalab products was $2,729,141 compared to $208,816 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Cost of goods sold were $1,345,165 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $189,451 for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

On October 18, 2017, the Company purchased substantially all the assets of a produce packaging business conducted under the name M&G Packing, Inc. During the first quarter of 2018 the Company generated $4,559,488 from processing revenue. As this business was acquired in October 2017, there was no corresponding revenue in the first quarter of 2017. Cost of goods for our produce packaging business was $4,350,936 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. There was no corresponding cost of goods for our produce packaging business in the first quarter of 2017 for the reason stated above.

 

Total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2018, were $1,641,932 compared to $189,451 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Expenses increased significantly as the Company hired additional staff, consultants and professionals due to its purchase of M&G Packing, Inc. and TAG compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, we had a loss from operations of $49,404 compared to $239,870 for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

 

After the provision for interest and income taxes, net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2018, was $56,769 or $(0.00) per share, and the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $225,148 or $(0.01) per share.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, the Company had a working capital surplus of approximately $1,789,607 and $1,960,567, respectively.

 

We believe our current funding is sufficient to meet our needs described above over the next 9 to 12 months. Nevertheless, our goal is to begin and then increase product sales as quickly as we can within the constraints of our managerial and financial resources. If sales opportunities exceed our expectations, we will need additional debt or equity financing to seize these opportunities and there is no assurance financing will be available or available at terms we would find acceptable. If we are unable to raise additional capital at a level adequate to support our sales opportunities, we would need to curtail marketing efforts, which would adversely affect growth and results of operations and could prevent us from succeeding in implementing our new operating business. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue to operate as a going concern for the 12 months following the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. The more critical accounting estimates include estimates related to revenue recognition and accounts receivable allowances. We also have other key accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that are significant to understanding our results, which are described in Note D to our unaudited financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report.

 

Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Not required of a smaller reporting company.

 

Item 4 - Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15 promulgated under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in such reports is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Certifying Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officer concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in our reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC due to certain weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2017, which we view as an integral part of our disclosure controls and procedures.

 

 16 

 

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended March 31, 2018, which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
