1. Nature of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Nature of Organization and Basis of Presentation

 

WestMountain Company ("we", "our" or the "Company"), was incorporated in the state of Colorado on October 18, 2007 and on this date approved its business plan and commenced operations. The consolidated financial statements include the financial information of WestMountain Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, CytoBioscience, Inc., SolubleBioscience, Inc. and Cytocentrics Bioscience, GmbH. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

On March 19, 2018, we entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization, dated March 19, 2018, with WASM Acquisition Corp. (“WASM”), a Colorado corporation and a subsidiary of WestMountain, and CytoBioscience, Inc and its subsidiaries (“CytoBioscience”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, on March 19, 2018 (the "Closing Date"), WASM merged with and into CytoBioscience (the "Merger"), with CytoBioscience surviving the Merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of WestMountain, and the Stockholders of the CytoBioscience became Stockholders of WestMountain. On the Closing Date, all outstanding shares of capital stock of the CytoBioscience were cancelled and exchanged for 42,522,598 newly issued shares of common stock of WestMountain ("Common Stock"). Also, on the Closing Date all outstanding warrants and stock options of CytoBioscience were canceled.

 

Under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Merger is treated as a “reverse merger” under the acquisition method of accounting. For accounting purposes, CytoBioscience is considered to have acquired the Company. Consequently, the historical financial statements reflect the operations and financial condition of CytoBioscience and operations of the Company beginning on the closing date of the Merger.

 

As a result of the merger, the Company is now a manufacturer of medical research instrumentation and related consumables (cells, microchips, reagents, etc.). In addition, the Company now provides contract research (CRO) to the drug research and pharmaceutical market, with an emphasis on drug safety and analysis. The Company is currently examining additional acquisitions that could possible expand its product portfolio.

 

Unaudited Financial Information

 

The accompanying financial information as of September 30, 2018 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 is unaudited. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments, which are necessary to provide a fair presentation of the Company's financial position at September 30, 2018 and its operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, have been made. Certain information and footnote data necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is therefore suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the summary of significant accounting policies and notes to financial statements included in: (i) the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for the year ended December 31, 2017 on March 16, 2018; as well as in (ii) the Amendment Number 1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on August 24, 2018. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily an indication of operating results to be expected for the year.

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

Concentrations

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, two customers accounted for 71% of total revenue. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, two related party customers accounted for 100% of total revenue. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, one customer accounted for 48% of revenue. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, two related party customers represented 98% of revenue. At September 30, 2018, one customer accounted for 88% of accounts receivable. At September 30, 2017, two related party customers accounted for 94% of accounts receivable.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

For subsidiaries whose functional currencies are not the U.S. dollar, the Company uses the average exchange rate for the year and the exchange rate at the balance sheet date, to translate the operating results and financial position to U.S. dollar, the reporting currency, respectively. Translation differences are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders' equity. The foreign currency translation (loss) included in comprehensive loss was $48 and $- for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The foreign currency translation income (loss) included in comprehensive income was $7 and $- for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Going Concern

 

The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company anticipates incurring losses for the foreseeable future until such time, if ever, that it generates significant sales from its current products, or products currently in development.

 

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2018 were $116 which is not sufficient to fund the Company’s operations for the next twelve months. Accordingly, the Company will require additional cash to fund and continue its operations. As such the Company expects to seek business combinations which could provide a platform for raising the necessary operating as well as research and development funds required until such point that revenue for sales and services are sufficient to fund such activities. The Company anticipates raising additional funds through collaborative arrangements, public or private sales of debt or equity securities, or some combination thereof. There is no assurance that any such collaborative arrangement will be entered into or that financing will be available when needed in order to allow the Company to continue its operations, or if available, on acceptable terms.

 

In the event financing is not obtained, the Company may pursue cost cutting measures as well as explore the sale of selected assets to generate additional funds. If required to significantly reduce operating expenses and delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate any of its development programs or clinical trials, these events could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, and financial condition. These factors raise significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should it be unable to continue as a going concern.

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are reduced, as needed, by an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects its best estimate of probable losses determined principally on the basis of historical experience and specific allowances for known troubled accounts. All accounts or portions thereof that are deemed to be uncollectible or to require an excessive collection cost are written off to the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company determined that an allowance was necessary at September 30, 2018 of $115 representing accounts greater than 90 days. The Company determined that no allowance was necessary at December 31, 2017.

 

 

Property and Equipment

 

Laboratory (“Lab”) and office equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as indicated in the following table:

 

Asset Category No. of Years
   
Office furniture and equipment 3
Laboratory equipment 3-5
Computers and software 3
Leasehold improvements Shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or lease term

 

Expenditures for repair and maintenance, which do not materially extend the useful lives of property and equipment, are charged to expense. When property or equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts with the resulting gain or loss reflected in operations. Management periodically reviews the carrying value of its office equipment for impairment.

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible net assets when accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill is not amortized, but reviewed for impairment on an annual basis, during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely-than-not reduce the fair value of the Company's reporting units below their carrying amounts.

 

The Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step impairment test. If the Company elects this option and believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely-than-not that the carrying value of goodwill is not recoverable, the quantitative two-step impairment test is required; otherwise, no further testing is required. Alternatively, the Company may elect to not first assess qualitative factors and immediately perform the quantitative two-step impairment test. In the first step, the Company compares the fair value of its reporting units to their carrying values. If the carrying values of the net assets assigned to the reporting units exceed the fair values of the reporting units, then the second step of the impairment test is performed in order to determine the implied fair value of the Company’s goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then the Company would record an impairment loss equal to the difference.

Definite-lived intangible assets, primarily the Company’s patented technology, are amortized over the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are utilized and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets or asset group may not be recoverable. These assets are currently amortized over 10 years on a straight-line basis. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset, which requires the use of customer attribution rates and other assumptions. In the event that such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the carrying amount of the definite-lived intangible assets, the definite-lived intangible assets are written-down to their fair values.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company conducts its long-lived asset impairment analyses in accordance with ASC 360-10-15, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” ASC 360-10-15 requires the Company to group assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities and evaluate the asset group against the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows. If the undiscounted cash flows do not indicate the carrying amount of the asset is recoverable, an impairment charge is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value based on discounted cash flow analysis or appraisals. As a result of these reviews, no impairment charge has been recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue when each of the following four criteria is met: 1) a contract or sales arrangement exists; 2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; 3) the price of the products or services is fixed or determinable; and 4) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Equipment Sales

 

Revenue from the sale of instrumentation is recognized at the time of shipment to the customer, provided no significant vendor obligations remain and collectability is probable. Revenue from warranties are recognized ratably over the contractual term of the warranty agreement. Revenue from the sale of equipment was $175 and $- during the three and nine months ended, September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company received a 12-month warranty from a customer for a previous equipment sale, for which $7 and $13 was recognized as revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. There was no warranty revenue for the same periods in 2017.

 

Contract Research

 

Revenue from contract research services is recognized based on a fee per data point at the time services are performed and the final report is issued to the customer. Revenue from contract research was $400 and $-, for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Revenue from contract research was $562 and $-, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Consumables

 

Revenue from the sale of consumables is recognized at the time of shipment to the customer, provided no significant vendor obligations remain and collectability is probable. Revenue from sales of consumables was $13 and $- for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Revenue from the sale of consumables was $29 and

$-, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Grants

 

Revenue from grants is recognized at the time of funding or over time based on the specific terms of the individual grants. The Company recognized $51 of income from grants during the three months ended, September 30, 2018. The Company generated $182 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The Company did not generate any grant income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

 

Shipping and Handling Charges

 

The Company includes the cost of shipping and handling incurred in the importation of goods in cost of sales.

 

Product Warranty

 

The Company provides a 6 month limited warranty to the end consumer on all products. The Company does not believe a product warranty reserve is required as of September 30, 2018 or September 30, 2017.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Research and development expenses consist primarily of expenditures related to the development of medical research equipment, compensation and consulting costs. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $1,396 and $- for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $3,184 and $- for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Short-term financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other liabilities, consist primarily of instruments with maturities of three months or less when acquired. Management has estimated that the fair values of current assets and current liabilities approximate their reported carrying amounts.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and the reversal of deferred tax liabilities during the period in which the related temporary difference becomes deductible.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue Recognition - Principal versus Agent (reporting revenue gross versus net). Also, in April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, and in May 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Revenue Recognition – New Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. These standards are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and may be adopted earlier. The revenue standards are required to be adopted by taking either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. The Company has adopted the new standard as of January 1, 2018.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”), which amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption of ASU 2016-02 is permitted. The new standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief.

7. Income Taxes

 

The Company had, subject to limitation as a result of the merger, $17,730 and $- of net operating loss carryforwards at September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which will expire at various dates beginning in 2035 through 2038. In addressing the reliability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences are deductible.

 

The following table provides the components of income (loss) from continuing operations before provision for taxes on income:

Economic Development Grant from the City of San Antonio

 

On September 11, 2015, the Company entered into an economic development agreement with the City of San Antonio (“City”) for $1,000 subject to the Company’s commitment to invest significantly in San Antonio with respect to facilities and employment. Accordingly, the City made the first installment of $500 on August 13, 2015. On March 29, 2016, the Company returned $100 of the $500 leaving a remaining balance of $400.

 

On April 9, 2018, the Company and the City terminated by mutual consent, the economic development agreement. The Company, as part of the termination, agreed to return the $400 over a twenty-four-month period with first payment due within 60 days or September 8, 2018. The amount has been accrued and is a component of accounts payable (short-term portion) and other long-term liability (long-term portion) as of September 30, 2018. The Company is currently in default with this agreement, and accordingly, is in negotiation with the City to extend the first repayment installment. However, the City is working with the Company to extend and renegotiate the payment agreement.

 

Legal Dispute with Dr. William Crumb, Director of CRO Services

Merger

 

On March 19, 2018, we entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization, dated March 19, 2018, with WASM Acquisition Corp. (“WASM”), a Colorado corporation and a subsidiary of the WestMountain, and CytoBioscience, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“CytoBioscience”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, on March 19, 2018 (the "Closing Date"), WASM merged with and into CytoBioscience (the "Merger"), with CytoBioscience surviving the Merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of WestMountain, and the Stockholders of the CytoBioscience became Stockholders of WestMountain. On the Closing Date, all outstanding shares of capital stock of the CytoBioscience were cancelled and exchanged for 42,522,598 newly issued shares of common stock of WestMountain. Also, on the Closing Date all outstanding warrants and stock options of CytoBioscience were canceled.

 

Under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Merger is treated as a “reverse merger” under the acquisition method of accounting. For accounting purposes, CytoBioscience is considered to have acquired the Company. Consequently, the historical financial statements reflect the operations and financial condition of CytoBioscience and operations of the Company beginning on the closing date of the Merger.

 

As a result of the merger, the Company is now a manufacturer of medical research instrumentation and related consumables (cells, microchips, reagents, etc.). In addition, the Company now provides contract research (CRO) to the drug research and pharmaceutical market, with an emphasis on drug safety and analysis.

General

 

The Company is an established, revenue-generating ion channel screening business providing medical instrumentation and research services to organizations in the pharmaceutical and drug research market. The Company develops and manufactures related consumables, including various cell lines, and, further leveraging its instrument, provides Contract Research services for clients worldwide.  Finally, the Company's product line also includes the HSC instrument, which is used to rapidly determine protein solubility; a key component of protein-based drug development.  HSC is manufactured by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Soluble Bioscience.

 

Operations

 

The Company manufactures medical research instrumentation and related consumables as well as provide research services to organizations in the pharmaceutical and drug research market.

 

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2018 were $116 which is not sufficient to fund the Company’s operations for the next twelve months. Accordingly, the Company will require additional cash to fund and continue its operations. As such the Company expects to seek business combinations which could provide a platform for raising the necessary operating as well as research and development funds required until such point that revenue for sales and services are sufficient to fund such activities. The Company anticipates raising additional funds through collaborative arrangements, public or private sales of debt or equity securities, or some combination thereof. There is no assurance that any such collaborative arrangement will be entered into or that financing will be available when needed in order to allow the Company to continue its operations, or if available, on acceptable terms.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, requires management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making certain estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions had been different, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied resulting in a different presentation of our financial statements. From time to time, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information. Below is a discussion of accounting policies that we consider critical in that they may require complex judgment in their application or require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.

 

 

 19 
 

 

 

 

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are reduced, as needed, by an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects its best estimate of probable losses determined principally on the basis of historical experience and specific allowances for known troubled accounts. All accounts or portions thereof that are deemed to be uncollectible or to require an excessive collection cost are written off to the allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Lab and office equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as indicated in the following table:

 

Asset Category No. of Years
   
Office furniture and equipment 3
Laboratory equipment 3-5
Computers and software 3
Leasehold improvements Shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or lease term

 

Expenditures for repair and maintenance, which do not materially extend the useful lives of property and equipment, are charged to expense. When property or equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts with the resulting gain or loss reflected in operations. Management periodically reviews the carrying value of its office equipment for impairment.

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible net assets when accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill is not amortized, but reviewed for impairment on an annual basis, during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely-than-not reduce the fair value of the Company's reporting units below their carrying amounts.

 

The Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step impairment test. If the Company elects this option and believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely-than-not that the carrying value of goodwill is not recoverable, the quantitative two-step impairment test is required; otherwise, no further testing is required. Alternatively, the Company may elect to not first assess qualitative factors and immediately perform the quantitative two-step impairment test. In the first step, the Company compares the fair value of its reporting units to their carrying values. If the carrying values of the net assets assigned to the reporting units exceed the fair values of the reporting units, then the second step of the impairment test is performed in order to determine the implied fair value of the Company’s goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then the Company would record an impairment loss equal to the difference.

 

Definite-lived intangible assets, primarily the Company’s patented technology, are amortized over the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are utilized and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets or asset group may not be recoverable. These assets are currently amortized over 10 years on a straight-line basis. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset, which requires the use of customer attribution rates and other assumptions. In the event that such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the carrying amount of the definite-lived intangible assets, the definite-lived intangible assets are written-down to their fair values.

 

 

 20 
 

 

 

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company conducts its long-lived asset impairment analyses in accordance with ASC 360-10-15, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” ASC 360-10-15 requires the Company to group assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities and evaluate the asset group against the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows. If the undiscounted cash flows do not indicate the carrying amount of the asset is recoverable, an impairment charge is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value based on discounted cash flow analysis or appraisals.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue when each of the following four criteria is met: 1) a contract or sales arrangement exists; 2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; 3) the price of the products or services is fixed or determinable; and 4) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Equipment Sales

 

Revenue from the sale of instrumentation is recognized at the time of shipment to the customer, provided no significant vendor obligations remain and collectability is probable. Revenue from warranties are recognized ratably over the contractual term of the warranty agreement. Revenue from the sale of equipment was $175 and $- during the three and nine months ended, September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company received a 12-month warranty from a customer for a previous equipment sale, for which $7 and $13 was recognized as revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. There was no warranty revenue for the same periods in 2017.

 

Contract Research

 

Revenue from contract research services is recognized based on a fee per data point at the time services are performed and the final report is issued to the customer. Revenue from contract research was $124 and $-, for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Revenue from contract research was $286 and $-, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Product Warranty

 

The Company provides a 6 month limited warranty to the end consumer on all products. The Company does not believe a product warranty reserve is required as of September 30, 2018 or September 30, 2017.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Short-term financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other liabilities, consist primarily of instruments with maturities of three months or less when acquired. Management has estimated that the fair values of current assets and current liabilities approximate their reported carrying amounts.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and the reversal of deferred tax liabilities during the period in which the related temporary difference becomes deductible.

 

The Company is subject to U.S. federal, state, or local income tax examinations by tax authorities for all tax filings since inception.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2018. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2018 due to the following material weaknesses:

 

 

 

 22 
 

 

 

(1) we have not segregated duties as our accountant can initiate and complete transactions in the general ledger system,

 

(2) we have not implemented measures that would prevent the accountant from overriding the internal control system and

 

(3) the chief financial officer is responsible for complex accounting issues without additional review from within the Company.

 

We do not believe that these control weaknesses have resulted in deficient financial reporting because the chief financial officer is aware of his responsibilities under the SEC reporting requirement and personally certifies the financial reports.

 

Inherent Limitations Over Internal Controls

 

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and circumvention by collusion or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even an effective internal control system may not prevent or detect material misstatements on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

We have made no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We are beginning an analysis with CRO Partners to see what, if any, changes might be considered.
