KALLO INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2019
(Amounts expressed in US dollars)
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN
Organization
Kallo Inc. ("Kallo" or the "Company") develops customized health care solutions designed to improve or enhance the delivery of care in the countries and regions we serve.
Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements do not purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The Company has incurred operating losses since inception and has an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficit at September 30, 2019. The Company is expected to incur additional losses as it executes its go to market strategy. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company has met its historical working capital requirements from the sale of common shares and short term loans. In order to not burden the Company, the officer/stockholder has agreed to provide funding to the Company to pay its annual audit fees, filing costs and legal fees as long as the board of directors deems it necessary. However, there can be no assurance that such financial support shall be ongoing or available on terms or conditions acceptable to the Company. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 2 – ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OPERATIONS
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X related to smaller reporting companies. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements and notes, which are included as part of the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 as reported in the 10-K have been omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued an ASU related to the accounting for leases. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. This pronouncement is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this new standard on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach but it did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements as there was no lease in existence.

NOTE 2 – ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OPERATIONS (continued)
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvement to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative to maintain or improve the usefulness of the information provided to the users of financial statements while reducing cost and complexity in financial reporting. This update provides consistency in the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees with that of employees. The Company has adopted ASU 2018-07 in the first quarter of 2019. The adoption of ASU 2018-07 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.

Thus, the Company may not be able to proceed with any one or all of the contemplated transactions as set forth in the Agreement.

| ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. |
This section of the report includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this report. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions. All funds are reflected in United States dollars unless otherwise indicated.
We are a small company with limited financial and managerial resources and we are insolvent. There is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have generated insignificant revenues from our operations during the last eight years. We have been able to remain in business as a result of investments, in debt or equity securities, by our officers and directors and by other unrelated parties. We expect to incur operating losses in the foreseeable future and our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise additional money through investments by others and achieve profitable operations. There is no assurance that we will be able to raise additional money or that additional money or that additional financing will be available to us on satisfactory terms or that we will be able to achieve profitable operations. The consolidated statements were prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern, however, there can be no assurance that such financial support shall be ongoing or available on terms or conditions acceptable to the Company. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
For the last eight fiscal years, starting January 2010, our management and board of directors have raised funds through a personal and professional network of investors. This has enabled product and business development, continued operations, and generation of customer interest. In order to continue operations, management has contemplated several options to raise capital and sustain operations in the next 12 months. These options include, but are not limited to, debt and equity offers to existing shareholders, debt and equity offers to independent investment professionals and through various other financing alternatives. We currently believe that if we can secure sufficient additional capital on a timely basis, in sufficient amounts and on reasonable terms and if we are successful in securing at least one project that likely will enable us to continue operations for the next 12 months. There can be no guarantee that we will receive sufficient additional capital on a timely basis and on reasonable terms that will allow is to continue to remain in business. Currently we have not received any commitment from any third party to provide the additional capital that we believe we will require to sustain our Company as a corporate entity or otherwise allow us to meet our financial obligations.
On April 8, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with FE Pharmacy Inc. whereby in consideration for the issuance of 475,000,000 common stock of Kallo, FE Pharmacy Inc. assumed and will pay all of the Company’s outstanding indebtedness as of April 7, 2017. Management believes that with this agreement in place, it can concentrate on bringing the potential projects as detailed below to fruition and any additional funding can be met through one of the three options mentioned above.

In 2017 the Government of Ghana initiated several discussions with us, to revisit how the Ministry of Defense – Military Hospital requirements, the Ministry of Health healthcare infrastructure requirements and the Ministry of Education Teaching Hospital infrastructure requirements can be met using the Kallo Integrated Delivery Model. The success of these discussions confirmed Ghana’s continued belief in the Kallo Integrated Delivery System, as the best solution for the nation’s healthcare infrastructure development, which is very encouraging for our continued business in Ghana.
On June 20, 2017, our branch office was legally registered in Ghana. A valid tax identification number was issued and this number is to be used by us in all of our anticipated business that we hope to conduct within Ghana. We have incorporated four SPVs (Special Purpose Vehicles / Companies) to oversee the various projects we seek to undertake in Ghana. The SPVs are all incorporated under the laws of Ghana as private companies. Based on our internal management assessments conducted without the benefit of any independent third-party review or evaluation, we believe that our business plans involving Ghana are sound and may offer us significant business opportunities. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain sufficient financing on reasonable terms and on a timely basis that will allow us to pursue these opportunities.
We have entered into four major concession agreements with four key governmental institutions in Ghana. We have also, through our SPVs has entered into the following concession arrangements for the construction and operation of various hospital facilities in Ghana:
| Project Description | Kallo SPV | |
| 1 | Tamale Military Hospital project | K-TMH Ghana Limited |
| 2 | Cape Coast Teaching Hospital project | K-UCC Cape Coast Limited |
| 3 | Sunyani Teaching Hospital project | K-UENR Sunyani Limited |
| 4 | Ho Teaching Hospital project | K-UHAS Ho Limited |
These agreements are effective upon execution and the concession period will start from the date on which financial close is achieved with the Lenders and all conditions precedent are satisfied or waived. The financing has not closed yet and there is no guarantee that financial close will be achieved.
Plan of Operation
The following plan of operation contains forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth elsewhere in this document. Because of the speculative nature of our operations and the nature of the African countries we are attempting to do business with, there is no assurance that any of the planned operations will occur.
To the extent that we are financially able and if circumstances allow, we plan to continue to develop components of Kallo Integrated Delivery System:

Kallo Integrated Delivery System (KIDS)
MobileCareTM – a mobile trailer that opens into a state of the art clinical setup in a vehicle equipped with the latest technology in healthcare. More than just a facility, MobileCare TM can instantly connect the onboard physician with specialists for on-demand consultation via satellite through its Telehealth system. This is truly a holistic approach to delivering healthcare to the remotely located. For many rural communities, the nearest hospital, doctor or nurse may be hundreds of kilometers away. In many cases, this gap can be bridged using Telehealth technology that allows patients, nurses and doctors to talk as if they were in the same room.
RuralCareTM – prefabricated modular healthcare units focused in rural areas where no roads infrastructure is available. They are equipped to provide primary healthcare including X-Ray, ultrasound, surgery, pharmacy and lab services. Ranging from 1,200 to 3,800 square feet, these clinics can be up and running in disaster zones or rural areas in as little as one week. Similar to the MobileCare TM product, RuralCare TM also utilizes satellite communications to access the Telehealth system.
Our overall healthcare mission is to "reach the unreached". Based on our own internal assessments conducted by our officers and without the benefit of any independent third party evaluation, we believe that may be able to offer end-to-end solution that may include the following:
Global response center – located in the Kallo headquarters in Canada, this is the escalation point for the coordination of delivery of Telehealth and eHealth support. It consists of both the Clinical Command Center and the Administrative Command Center.
Regional response centers, Clinical and Administrative Command centers – located in the urban area hospitals and connected with satellite communications, these centers coordinate all aspects of the healthcare delivery solution with the Mobile clinics and Rural clinics including clinical services, Telehealth services, pharmacy and medical consumable coordination as well as escalations to the Global response center.
Kallo University – provides education, training and development of local resources for all aspects of the healthcare delivery which includes clinical, engineering and administration.
Emergency Medical Services – provides ground and air ambulance vehicles for emergency patient transport. We have now incorporated Medical Drone Services.
Based solely on our internal management assessments conducted without the benefit of any independent third-party review or evaluation, we believe that our end-to-end delivery solution is equipped with necessary medical equipment as per regional healthcare requirements. We also install our copyrighted software and third party software as required along with a five (5) year support agreement renewable after the five (5) year initial term that includes the medical equipment, software licenses, installation implementation and training. If we are successful then we anticipate that may, if circumstances are favorable, allow us to generate an ongoing revenue stream for service, maintenance, spare-parts, and consumables. However, we can not assure you that even if we are able to achieve these goals that we can do so at levels that may allow us to achieve and sustain positive cash flow and profitability. We have incurred significant and protracted losses and we have no record of achieving and sustaining positive cash flow and profitability and we can not be certain that we will achieve either or both of these goals at any time in the future.

Business Overview
The Global need for standardized healthcare service delivery to all geographies and to all people is the fundamental business driver for the innovation of the Kallo Integrated Delivery System – “KIDS”.
This unique and comprehensive concept was developed based on first hand discovery and a detailed study of ground realities and causal analysis over 15 years. The business issues in the current healthcare systems are addressed by intricate orchestration of technologies both proprietary and off the shelf to create a standardized healthcare delivery model across the continuum of care.
A strategic market approach was defined for customers to take a well-informed decision and to work with Kallo on a national strategy for healthcare infrastructure and a standardized healthcare services delivery model across the country. This led to the development of a structured business development process and management for business success.
The business development model, unique to KIDS, included in-country stakeholder workshops and white-board sessions on the KIDS concept and its application in their context of healthcare infrastructure and healthcare services delivery model.
Kallo instituted the concept of conducting detailed Clinical, Engineering and Technology studies led by Kallo to establish detailed requirements for preparation of a customized proposal for the country and a phased roll out plan.

Need for additional capital
We have incurred significant and protracted operating losses since inception and have an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficit at September 30, 2019. We expect to incur additional losses as we execute our go to market strategy. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a business enterprise, including limited capital resources and possible cost overruns due to price increases in services and products.
To become profitable and competitive, we anticipate that we will have to sell our products and services in sufficient volumes and with margins that may allow us to achieve profitability. We cannot assure you or anyone that we will be successful in these efforts.
There is no guaranty that we will obtain sufficient additional financing on a timely basis and on reasonable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop, or expand our operations. Any equity financing will likely result in immediate and substantial dilution of existing stockholders.
Results of operations
Revenues
We did not generate any revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 or 2018. However, we are pursuing what we hope may be suitable business opportunities that, based on our own internal management assessments conducted without the benefit of any independent third-party review or evaluation, may offer us commercially feasible and appropriate opportunities. However, we can assure you that we will be successful in any of these matters or, if we achieve any success, that it will allow to achieve and sustain positive cash flow and profitability.
Expenses
During the three months ended September 30, 2019 we incurred total expenses of $94,960, including $99,497 in salaries and compensation, $2,000 in professional fees, $28,052 in interest and financing costs, $1,413 in selling and marketing and $3,619 as other expenses offset by $39,621 of foreign exchange gain whereas during the three months ended September 30, 2018 we incurred total expenses of $192,261, including $101,544 in salaries and compensation, $3,000 in professional fees, $28,052 in interest and financing costs, $53,391 in loss on foreign exchange and $6,274 as other expenses.
The decrease in our total expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from the comparative period is mainly due to a decrease of $93,012 in foreign exchange loss. The positive change in foreign exchange is due to the appreciation of the US dollar vis a vis the Canadian dollar.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 we incurred total expenses of $2,129,636, including $1,872,875 in salaries and compensation, $37,647 in professional fees, $83,240 in interest and financing costs, $92,476 in loss on foreign exchange, $29,381 in selling and marketing and $14,017 as other expenses whereas during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 we incurred total expenses of $343,120, including $303,313 in salaries and compensation, $36,549 in professional fees, $83,240 in interest and financing costs and $15,689 in other expenses offset by $95,671 foreign exchange gain.
-15-
The increase in salaries and compensation of $1,569,562 is mainly due to non-cash stock based compensation of $1,574,480 in the current period. There is also a negative change in foreign exchange of $188,147 due to depreciation of the US dollar vis a vis the Canadian dollar.
The Company is operating with a minimal number of full time employees and office space until it can secure new contracts.
Net Loss
During the three months ended September 30, 2019 we did not generate any revenues and incurred a net loss of $94,960 compared to a net loss of $192,261 during the same period in 2018. The main reason was the foreign exchange loss as discussed above. In that respect, we can not assure you that we will be successful in reducing our losses at any time in the future and we may face significant and protracted financial losses and we cannot guarantee that we will achieve any of our business goals.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 we did not generate any revenues and we incurred a net loss of $2,129,636 compared to a net loss of $343,120 during the same period in 2018. The main reasons were the increase in salaries and compensation due to stock based compensation and negative movement in exchange rate as discussed above. In that respect, we can not assure you that we will be successful in reducing our losses at any time in the future and we may face significant and protracted financial losses and we cannot guarantee that we will achieve any of our business goals.
Liquidity and capital resources
As at September 30, 2019, the Company had no current assets and current liabilities of $6,604,982, indicating working capital deficiency of $6,604,982. As of September 30, 2019, we had no assets and our total liabilities were $6,604,982 comprised of $3,670,389 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, convertible loans payable of $1,144,297, short term loans of $66,006 and liability for issuable shares of $1,724,290.
Cash used in operating activities amounted to $27,169 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily as a result of the net loss adjusted for non-cash items and various changes in operating assets and liabilities.
Cash provided by financing activities amounted to $27,169 from proceeds from short term loans payable.
There was no cash movement in investing activities during the current nine months period ended September 30, 2019.
As of September 30, 2019, our Total Liabilities exceeded our Total Assets because we were insolvent. In that respect we face all the risks and uncertainties of any insolvent corporation that could easily result in stockholders losing all or substantially all of their investment. Our common stock and our preferred stock are securities that should only be acquired by persons who can accept the HIGH RISK of such an investment.

| ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. |
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
| ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures," as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We conducted an evaluation (the "Evaluation"), under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures ("Disclosure Controls") as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on this Evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our Disclosure Controls were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report due to lack of segregation of duties in financial reporting and presence of adjusting journal entries during the audit as well as insufficient controls over the financial close process and preparation of the financial statements.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

| ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS. |
Our Common Stock is subject to a number of substantial risks, including those described below. No attempt has been made to rank these risks in the order of their likelihood or potential harm. In addition to those general risks enumerated elsewhere in the document, any purchaser of the Company’s common stock should also consider the following risk factors:
Risks Related to the Ownership of the Company’s Stock
1. No Revenues from Operations & Continuing Losses; Risk of Loss & Insolvency. During the past two fiscal years we have not generated and revenues and there can be no assurances that we will be successful in generating revenues in the future. In that respect we face all of the risks inherent in an early-stage business. We have incurred losses and there can be no assurance that we will ever achieve profitability and positive cash flow. While we believe that our business strategies are sound, there can be no assurance that our business will generate profits and positive cash flow or if we generate profits and positive cash flow, that it can be sustained. Investors should be aware that they may lose all or substantially all of their investment. We are also insolvent since our Total Liabilities exceed our Total Assets.
-18-
2. Limited Corporate Officers & Employees. We have only three corporate officers, one of which is part-time and an aggregate of four employees, including our three officers.
3. Auditor's Opinion: Going Concern & Insolvency. Our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern since: (a) our Total Current Liabilities exceed our Total Current Assets; (b) our Total Liabilities exceed our Total Assets; and (c) we are an early-stage company and there exists only a limited history of operations. Since our Total Liabilities exceed our Total Assets, we are insolvent and anyone who acquires our Common Stock should be prepared to lose their entire investment.
4. Limited Financial Resources; Need for Additional Financing. Our financial resources are minimal and we are insolvent. We need to obtain additional financing from the sale of our Common Stock, Debt, or some combination thereof in order to undertake further business plans. Our ability to operate as a going concern is contingent upon our receipt of additional financing through private placements or by loans. We anticipate that we will require significant additional funds in the future if we are successful in marketing our products and services. There can be no assurance that if additional funds are required they will be available, or, if available, that they can be obtained on terms satisfactory to our Board of Directors. In the event the Company elects to issue stock to raise additional capital, any rights or privileges attached to such stock may either (i) dilute the percentage of ownership of the already issued common shares or (ii) dilute the value of such shares; or (iii) both. No rights or privileges have been assigned to the stock and any such rights and privileges will be at the total discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company. There can be no guarantee that we will be able to obtain additional financing, or if we are successful, that we will be able to do so on terms that are reasonable in light of current market conditions. Further, we have not received any commitment from any person to provide any additional financing and we cannot assure that any such commitment is forthcoming.
5. Limited and Sporadic Trading Market for Common Stock. Our Common Stock trades on the OTC Market on a limited and sporadic basis and there can be no assurance that a liquid trading market for our Common Stock will develop and, if it does develop, that it can be sustained.
6. Lack of Revenues And Development Stage Company. We have no history of generating Sales Revenues and we cannot assure that we will generate any Sales Revenues in the future or, if we do, that we can achieve Sales Revenues at a level that will allow us to also achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow. We face all of the risks inherent in a new business. There is no information at this time upon which to base an assumption that our plans will either materialize or prove successful. Our present business plans and strategies have been developed by our corporate officers and they have been evaluated by any independent third party. plans have not been determined. There can be no assurance that any of our business plans and strategies will generate sales revenues that will result in any profits or positive cash flow. Investors should be aware that they may lose all or substantially all of their investment.
7. Lack of Dividends & No Likelihood of Dividends. We have not paid dividends and do not contemplate paying dividends in the foreseeable future.
8. Competition. We are an insignificant participant among firms which offer health care products and services. There are many well-established health care product and service companies which have significantly greater financial and managerial resources, technical expertise and experience than the Company. In view of our limited financial and managerial resources, we will likely be at a significant competitive disadvantage vis-a-vis our competitors.
9. No Ability to Control. Any person who acquires our Common Stock will have no real ability to influence or control the Company or otherwise have any ability to elect any person to our Board of Directors. Our officers, directors, and certain other persons currently control the Company and there is no likelihood that any person who acquires our Common Stock will have any real ability to influence or control the Company in any meaningful way.
-19-
10. Negative Equity. Our Total Liabilities exceed our Total Assets. As a result, we are insolvent and we cannot assure you that we will be able to become solvent at any time in the future.
11. Possible Rule 144 Stock Sales. Many of our shares of our outstanding Common Stock are "restricted securities" and may be sold only in compliance with Rule 144 adopted under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or other applicable exemptions from registration. Any person who acquires our common stock in any private placement should carefully review Rule 144 since any potential public resale may be limited and current broker-dealer and clearing firm requirements may make any re-sale of our common stock difficult at best.
12. Absence of Underwriter Commitment. Based on our current plans, we anticipate that we will likely need to raise significant additional capital to meet our current and anticipated financial needs, we have not received any commitment from any registered broker-dealer or underwriter to assist us in raising needed capital. As a result, we face a clear risk that we will not have sufficient cash resources to meet our current financial obligations and otherwise implement our business plans. In that event, we may not be able to implement our plans and we will not be able to achieve profitability and positive cash flow or, if we do, that we can sustain either or both of them for any period of time.
13. Risks of Low Priced Stocks. Currently, our common stock is not trading in any market and there is no certain prospect that the Company’s common stock will regain any trading in any organized market. In the past, the Company’s common stock had only limited and sporadic trading in the so-called "pink sheets," and before that, on the "Electronic Bulletin Board." As a result and due to the absence of a market, a shareholder may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of, the Company's securities. In the absence of a security being quoted on NASDAQ, or the Company having $2,000,000 in net tangible assets, trading in the Common Stock is covered by Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for non-NASDAQ and non-exchange listed securities. Under such rule, broker/dealers who recommend such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse) must make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to a transaction prior to sale.
In general, securities are also exempt from this rule if the market price is at least $5.00 per share, or for warrants, if the warrants have an exercise price of at least $5.00 per share. The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 requires additional disclosure related to the market for penny stocks and for trades in any stock defined as a penny stock. The Commission has recently adopted regulations under such Act which define a penny stock to be any NASDAQ or non-NASDAQ equity security that has a market price or exercise price of less than $5.00 per share and allow for the enforcement against violators of the proposed rules.
In addition, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission explaining important concepts involving the penny stock market, the nature of such market, terms used in such market, the broker/dealer's duties to the customer, a toll-free telephone number for inquiries about the broker/dealer's disciplinary history, and the customer's rights and remedies in case of fraud or abuse in the sale.
Disclosure also must be made about commissions payable to both the broker/dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities, and if the broker/dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker/dealer must disclose this fact and its control over the market.
-20-
Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. While many NASDAQ stocks are covered by the proposed definition of penny stock, transactions in NASDAQ stock are exempt from all but the sole market-maker provision for (i) issuers who have $2,000,000 in tangible assets ($5,000,000 if the issuer has not been in continuous operation for three years), (ii) transactions in which the customer is an institutional accredited investor and (iii) transactions that are not recommended by the broker/dealer. In addition, transactions in a NASDAQ security directly with the NASDAQ market-maker for such securities, are subject only to the sole market-maker disclosure, and the disclosure with regard to commissions to be paid to the broker/dealer and the registered representatives.
Finally, all NASDAQ securities are exempt if NASDAQ raised its requirements for continued listing so that any issuer with less then $2,000,000 in net tangible assets or stockholder's equity would be subject to delisting. These criteria are more stringent than the proposed increased in NASDAQ's maintenance requirements.
Our securities are subject to the above rules on penny stocks and the market liquidity for our securities could be severely affected by limiting the ability of broker/dealers to sell our securities.
