WORLDWIDE SPECIALTY CHEMICALS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

March 31, 2018

(Unaudited)

 

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

Worldwide Specialty Chemicals Inc. (“Company”), a Delaware corporation formed in March of 2014 and based in downtown Dallas, Texas, is an international specialty chemicals company with many products that are friendly to the environment and are marketed through KT Chemicals, Inc. and Safeway Pest Elimination LLC both of which are wholly owned subsidiaries and PCNM LLC, a 49% investment. On February 15, 2017, the Company acquired 100% ownership of KT Chemicals, Inc. (“KT”), a Texas corporation founded in February 2014. 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. Safeway Pest Elimination LLC and PCNM LLC are newly created operating companies in 2018.

 

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., Safeway Pest Elimination LLC (SPE), both of which are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company and PCNM LLC (PCNM), a 49% investment. PCNM’s remaining 51% ownership is owned by an employee and shareholder of the Company. The Company evaluated its investment in PCNM to determine if it represented a variable interest in a Variable Interest Entity (VIE). The Company determined that it had a variable interest in a VIE, and that it was the primary beneficiary of the VIE. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, SPE and PCNM did not engage in any material transactions.

 

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 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 stockholders’ equity in conformity with 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 condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2017 was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. The unaudited interim condensed 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, 2017 that was filed on July 17, 2018.

         

Operating results for the three-months ended March 31, 2018, are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018.

 

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.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, using the modified retrospective transition method. Under Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenue when it transfers control of promised goods or services to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of Topic 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once a contract is determined to be within the scope of Topic 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within the contract and determines those that are performance obligations, and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

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 March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The carrying value of the financial instruments included in the Company’s 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 three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, approximately 1,030,000 and 2,885,000 common stock warrants, respectively, and 4,409,750 and 2,046,000 common stock options, respectively, 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 trade receivables from product sales 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 March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a first-in first-out basis. The carrying value of inventory is reduced for estimated obsolescence. The Company evaluates the inventory carrying value for potential excess and obsolete inventory exposures by analyzing historical and anticipated demand.

 

The following table sets forth the components of the Company’s inventory balances as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

 

   March 31,
2018
   December 31,
2017
 
Finished goods  $32,990   $22,753 
Raw materials   35,557    35,557 
Packaging supplies   5,542    4,231 
   $74,089   $62,541 

 

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.

 

Fixed Assets

 

Fixed assets consist of furniture, fixtures and office equipment, vehicles and trailers, equipment and leasehold improvements that are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to earnings over their estimated service lives (3 – 10 years) under the straight-line method.

 

Maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; major repairs and replacements are capitalized. When items of property or equipment are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operations.

 

Property and equipment operated under material leases which transfer substantially all benefits and risks associated with the assets to the Company are capitalized. An asset and liability equal to the present or fair value, if appropriate, of minimum payments over the term of the leases are recorded. Depreciation of the asset is computed using the straight-line method over the life of the asset. Costs associated with operating leases are expensed as incurred.

 

 

 

 8 

 

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the value of the purchase price and related costs over the identifiable assets from business acquisitions. The Company conducts an annual impairment assessment, at the reporting unit level, of its recorded goodwill. The Company assesses qualitative factors in order to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The qualitative factors evaluated by the Company include: macro-economic conditions of the local business environment, overall financial performance, and other entity specific factors as deemed appropriate. If, through this qualitative assessment, the conclusion is made that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount, a two-step impairment test is performed. Management determined, by assessing the qualitative factors, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying value. Management does not consider the value of goodwill recorded for KT in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet to be impaired as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

 

License Fee

 

Effective December 31, 2016, the Company entered into an Exclusive Patent License 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.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payments in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, (ASC 718). Under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, the Company recognizes share-based compensation expense, net of an estimated forfeiture rate, over the requisite service period of the award. The fair value at the measurement date of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period based on the estimated number of stock options that are expected to vest.

 

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 financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities.

 

The Company accounts for all uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC Topic 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 March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

 

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.

 

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 $5,739,968 and $4,711,007 at March 31, 2018 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 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.

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 financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

  

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Pronouncements Recently Adopted

 

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (“ASU 2015-11”), which modifies existing requirements regarding measuring inventory at the lower of cost and market. Under existing standards, the market amount requires consideration of replacement cost, net realizable value (“NRV”), and NRV less an approximately normal profit margin. ASU 2015-11 replaces market with NRV, defined as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This eliminates the need to determine and consider replacement cost or NRV less an approximately normal profit margin when measuring inventory. This standard is effective for the Company prospectively beginning January 1, 2017. Adoption of ASU 2015-11 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (“ASU 2015-17”), which simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes by requiring deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. ASU 2015-17 is effective beginning on January 1, 2017 with early application permitted as of the beginning of any interim or annual reporting period. Adoption of ASU 2015-17 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) (“ASU 2016-09”). 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 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard defines a five-step process to achieve this principle, and will require companies to use more judgment and make more estimates than under the current guidance. The guidance was originally effective for public entities for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and allows for adoption using a full retrospective method, or a modified retrospective method. Early adoption was originally not permitted. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which delayed the effective date for public entities to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the standard is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations, to clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, to clarify various aspects of Topic 606, including the identification of performance obligations and the implementation of licensing guidance. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, to clarify aspects of Topic 606, including assessing the collectability criterion, presentation of sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from customers, noncash consideration, contract modifications at transition and completed contracts at transition. Adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”). ASU 2017-01 clarifies the definition of a business when evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses, ASU 2017-01 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. Adoption of ASU 2017-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

On May 10, 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation–Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (“ASU 2017-09”), clarifying when a change to the terms or conditions of a stock-based payment award must be accounted for as a modification. ASU 2017-09 requires modification accounting if the fair value, vesting condition or the classification of the award is not the same immediately before and after a change to the terms and conditions of the award. ASU 2017-09 is effective for the Company on a prospective basis beginning on January 1, 2018. Adoption of ASU 2017-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

 

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 August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments - a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. Certain issues addressed in this guidance include - debt payments or debt extinguishment costs, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, distributions received from equity method investments and beneficial interests in securitization transactions. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2016-15 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

  

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill impairment (“ASU 2017-04”), which removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. A goodwill impairment will now be determined by the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of ASU 2017-04.

9. INCOME TAXES

 

For the three-months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, 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 March 31, 2018, management determined that a full valuation allowance against all of the Company’s deferred tax assets at March 31, 2018 was appropriate.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, the primary sources of liquidity were cash flows from financing activities, and in particular, proceeds from the sale of common stock.

 

As of March 31, 2018, the Company had total assets of $3,223,686, consisting of current assets of $83,308 in cash, $137,025 in receivables, $74,089 in inventory, and long term assets of $2,294,952 in goodwill and $609,928 in fixed assets. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had total assets of $3,316,644, consisting of current assets of $267,986 in cash, $49,603 in receivables, $69,247 in inventory, $8,205 in prepaid expenses and $31,102 in other current assets. The decrease in total assets of $87,587 was primarily due to the decrease in its cash of $192,578 offset by the increase in its accounts receivable of $87,422 as a result of KT’s increase in sales.

As of March 31, 2018, the Company had total liabilities totaling $472,109 including $372,822 in current payables and accrued expenses, and $99,287 in notes payable. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had total liabilities totaling $357,968 including $244,193 in accounts payable and accrued expenses and $35,650 in convertible notes. The increase in liabilities of $114,141 was largely the result of an increase in its operating expenses, employee payables, and the purchase of new equipment under a financing agreement.

 

At March 31, 2018, the Company had an accumulated stockholders’ equity of $2,751,577 and an accumulated stockholders’ equity of $2,953,305 at December 31, 2017. The increase is the result the items discussed above.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

On February 15, 2017, the Company acquired KT Chemicals, Inc. and as a result, the operations of the Company include three months of KT’s operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared to one and half months of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The Company continued to concentrate its efforts on (a) testing and marketing of its products; (b) customer acquisition; (c) sourcing and developing new products to fulfill customers’ requirements; and (d) start other specific industry chemical subsidiaries.

Revenues

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company had revenues of $224,536, and $76,160 for the same period in 2017. The increase in sales is primarily the result of the Company recording three months of KT’s operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared to one and half months of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 as the Company acquired KT on February 15, 2017.

 

Operating Expenses

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company’s operating expenses totaled $1,070,577, and $561,548 for the same period in 2017. The increase is primarily related to 1) three months of KT’s operating expenses being recorded during 2018; 2) professional fees relating to marketing and business development and 3) 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, its current liabilities exceed its current assets as of March 31, 2018 and the Company has incurred reoccurring losses from operations during the three months ended March 31, 2018. The Company is relying on capital from investors to meet the majority of its operating expenses.

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.

 

 

 

 16 

 

 

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

As indicated in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on July 17, 2018, the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was not effective during the 2017 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.
