Explanatory Note

 

The Company is filing this Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment No. 2”) to amend its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, originally filed with the SEC on May 11, 2020 (the “Original 10-K”), and amended on May 19, 2020, to disclose the extended filing date by reason of an order issued by the SEC under Section 36 of the Exchange Act dated March 4, 2020 (Release No. 34-88318), as modified and superseded by a new SEC order issued on March 25, 2020 (Release No. 34-88465 (collectively, the “Order”) (the “First Amended Form 10-K”), solely to disclose that the Company failed to provide required disclosure in its Original 10-K or its First Amended 10-K about management’s evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures as defined in SEC Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act pursuant to Part II, Item 9A of SEC Form 10-K. 

 

The Company has also amended Part IV, Item 15, to include currently dated Certifications pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 from the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment No. 2, paragraph 3 of the Certifications has been omitted. Similarly, because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment No. 2, Certifications pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 have been omitted.

 

Except as described above, this Amendment No. 2 does not amend, modify or update the information in, or exhibits to, the Original 10-K or the First Amended 10-K, and we have not updated disclosures included therein to reflect any subsequent events. This Amendment No. 2 should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 10-K and the First Amended 10-K and with our other filings made by us with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Form 10-K and the First Amended 10-K.

 

Item 9A: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that material information relating to us is made known to the officers who certify our financial reports and to other members of senior management and the Board of Directors. These disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness, as of December 31, 2019, of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2019.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal controls over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records, which in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

  

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become ineffective because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

In evaluating the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, management used the criteria established in the Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on the criteria established by COSO, management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, determined that our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, was effective. Material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that were discovered in our financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, and which included (i) the limited number of staff at the Company; and (ii) the inability of the Company to achieve proper segregation of duties among its staff for effective internal control over financial reporting, had been eliminated prior to December 31, 2019, by the engagement of a Vice President of Finance who established a payment approval process and implemented a closing of the books to process our financial statements, which included multiple reviews of our internal controls and financial statements prior to publication.

 

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Except as stated above, there have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this Annual Report.

 

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

 

Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of the control system must reflect that there are resource constraints and that the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.  Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
