NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2017

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

Nature of the Business

Almost Never Films Inc. (the “Company”) was originally incorporated in Nevada in October 2007 as Smack Sportswear (“Smack”), which originally manufactured and sold performance and lifestyle based indoor and sand volleyball apparel and accessories. The Company is now an independent film company focused on film production, finance and production related services for movies under budgets of $35 million.

Share Exchange and Recapitalization

On January 15, 2016, Smack entered into a share exchange agreement with Almost Never Films Inc., a private company incorporated in Indiana on July 8, 2015, and its two shareholders, Danny Chan and Derek Williams.

Pursuant to the agreement, Smack issued 1,000,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to Mr. Chan and Mr. Williams in exchange for all 2,500,000 shares of issued and outstanding common stock of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana). As a result of the share exchange, Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana) became Smack’s wholly-owned subsidiary, and Mr. Chan and Mr. Williams acquired a controlling interest in the Company.

The share exchange was accounted for as a "reverse acquisition," and resulted in a recapitalization. Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana) is deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were $6,566 and $598,869, respectively. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that will be reflected in the financial statements prior to the share exchange will be those of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana) and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana), and the combined financial statements after completion of the share exchange include the assets and liabilities of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana), historical operations of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana), and operations of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana) from the closing date of the share exchange. As a result of the issuance of the shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to the share exchange, a change in control of the Company occurred as of the date of consummation of the share exchange. All share and per share information in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes has been retroactively restated to reflect the recapitalization. The Company has not yet generated any revenue since inception.

On February 29, 2016, the stockholders of Smack voted to amend the Articles of Incorporation of the Company to (i) increase the authorized capital of the Company to 5,000,000 shares of common stock and (ii) to change the name of the Company to “Almost Never Films Inc.” which took effect on March 2, 2016.

On August 9, 2017, the Company has approved a 1 for 40 reverse split of its issued and outstanding common stock. The common stock accounts and all share related balances have been be applied retroactively for all periods presented.

The new symbol of the Company is HLWD in OTCQB.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. During the six months ended December 31, 2017, the Company had a net loss from operations of $102,367 and net cash outflows from operating activities of $514,287. As of December 31, 2017, the Company is delinquent in payments of $66,613 of a note payable and has an accumulated deficit of $1,065,323. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, an additional cash infusion and an identification of new business opportunities.

Management has reviewed the entity’s financial condition, and has improved the Company’s working capital during the past fiscal year. Management believes the Company will be able to fund operations for the next year through cash on hand, and further potential equity and debt offerings. There are no other significant conditions or events that management has identified that will adversely affect the Company’s ability to meet its obligations over the next year of operations.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Team Sports Superstore (Inactive) and Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana), One HLWD KY LLC (Kentucky), Two HLWD KY LLC (Kentucky), Three HLWD KY (Kentucky), LLC, and FWIL, LLC (Indiana). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the financial statements have been included. Operating results for the six months ended December 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2018.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 2017, which were included in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017, has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of that date.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the financial statement date, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates are used in valuing the fair value of common stock issued for services, film costs, among others. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Cash

Cash includes demand deposits with banks or other financial institutions. All cash balances are hold by major banking institutions. The Company maintains its cash with a financial institution, and at times, amounts may exceed federally insured limits. Currently the FDIC insurance coverage limit is $250,000, and the Company is potentially exposed to no un-insured cash balances. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

Film Costs

The Company records film costs in accordance with ASC – 926 - Entertainment – Films. Film costs include direct production costs, production overhead and acquisition costs for both motion picture and television productions and are stated at the lower of unamortized cost or estimated fair value and classified as noncurrent assets. Estimates used in calculating the fair value of the film costs are based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions and are reviewed on a periodic basis.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk including our own credit risk.

In addition to defining fair value, the standard expands the disclosure requirements around fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels which are determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:

Level 1 – inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

Level 2 – inputs are based upon significant observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.

As of December 31, 2017, the balance reported for cash approximates its fair value because of its short maturities. Notes payable are recorded at agreed values. Debt balances are stated at historical amounts less principal payments, which approximate fair market value. Promissory notes receivable and payable are stated at historical amounts less principal payments. The Company believes interest rates in its debt agreements are commensurate with lender risk profiles for similar companies.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of services in accordance with ASC 926 - 605 – Entertainment - Films. Revenue is recognized only when all of the following criteria have been met: (i) persuasive evidence of a sale or licensing agreement with a customer exists; (ii) the film is complete and, in accordance with the terms of the arrangement, has been delivered or is available for immediate and unconditional delivery; (iii) the license period of the arrangement has begun and the customer can begin its exploitation, exhibition, or sale; (iv) the arrangement fee is fixed or determinable; and (v) collection of the arrangement fee is reasonably assured.

Stock Repurchase and Cancellation

During the six months ended December 31, 2017, the Company repurchased and cancelled 85,475 shares of common stock. The Company accounted for the transaction in accordance with ASC 505 – Equity – 30 Treasury Stock, Purchase of Treasury Shares or Stock Rights.

Stock Subscription Receivable

The Company has accounted for Stock Subscription Receivable in accordance with ASC – 505 – Equity – 10, and has included the Stock Subscription Receivable balance in equity.

Loss per Share Calculations

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The Company’s diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share for the six months ended December 31, 2017, and 2016, as there are no potential shares outstanding that would have a dilutive effect.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued since the last audit of our financial statements. The Company’s management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Pursuant to the ANF Note, the Company received $200,000, which is due to the Lender ninety (90) days from the date the purchase price of $200,000 was paid. The ANF Note accrues interest at 2.5% per 90 days. Thereafter, on June 7, 2017, The Money Pool, LLC (“Money Pool”) issued a non-transferable promissory note to the Company for $200,000 (the “Money Pool Note”). The Company funded the Money Pool Note with the funds received from the Investor. Money Pool shall use the funds from the Money Pool Note, along with its own funds, in order to provide a bridge loan to Blue Rider San Juan, LLC (“Blue Rider”), in connection with the production of a motion picture known as “Speed Kills”.

In the event the Money Pool Note is not paid in full within 45 days, the flat interest rate will increase to 3.5% for each 45-day period any balance or accrued interest remains unpaid. The principal and interest shall be payable by Money Pool to the Company from payments made by Blue Rider on the bridge loan provided by Money Pool. On June 9, 2017, the Company issued a 2.5% promissory note (the “Kruse Note”) to William R. Kruse (the “Kruse”). Pursuant to the Kruse Note, the Company received $200,000, which is due to Kruse ninety (90) days from the date the purchase price of $200,000 was paid. The Kruse Note accrues interest at 2.5% per annum. Thereafter, on June 12, 2017, Money Pool issued a non-transferable promissory note to the Company for $200,000 (the “Pool Note”). The Company shall fund the Pool Note with the funds received from Kruse. Money Pool shall use the funds from the Pool Note, along with its own funds, in order to provide a bridge loan to Blue Rider, in connection with the production of a motion picture known as “Ana”. Blue Rider is the international sales agent for “Ana.” The Pool Notes accrues interest of a flat 2.5% for the first 45 days from funding. In the event the Pool Note is not paid in full within 45 days, the flat interest rate will increase to 3.5% for each 45-day period any balance or accrued interest remains unpaid. The principal and interest shall be payable by Money Pool to the Company from payments made by Blue Rider on the bridge loan provided by Money Pool.

On August 2, 2017, Derek Williams presented the Board of Directors of the Company with his resignation as Chief Operating Officer and a member of the Board of Directors of the Company. Mr. William’s decision to resign was not due to any disagreement with the Company.

On August 24, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Daniel Roth as Chief Creative Officer of the Corporation and Damiano Tucci as Chief Operating Officer of the Corporation.

On August 9, 2017, the Company completed a 1 for 40 reverse stock split and changed the authorized capital of the Company to 25,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share.

On November 10, 2017 the Company executed a First Amendment Agreement to its 6x picture Production and Distribution Agreement between Big Film Factory LLC (“Big Film” or “Prodco”) and Pure Flix Entertainment LLC (“PFE”), (the “Agreement”). The Agreement memorializes the understanding with respect to the development, packaging, production, post-production and worldwide distribution of the films intended for initial and primary worldwide exhibition. The Company, a Nevada corporation, will be added as a party to the initial agreement by and between Big Film and PFE, wherever Big Film is referenced in connection with providing production services in conjunction with Big Film as well as providing production capital and cash following each of the first six (6) films produced under the Agreement (“6 Pictures”). Both Prodco and PFE agree to expand the defined role of “Prodco” in the Agreement, to add the Company to that definition, and grant the Company equally the same role and responsibilities heretofore only held by Big Film in connection with the 6 Pictures.

The Company will be accorded a company credit and producer credits equal to those of Big Film. Furthermore, Prodco will provide the Company, Big Film and PFE with Producer’s E & O Insurance for a term of not less than three (3) years from delivery of any such Picture to PFE, and with limits of $1 million/$3 million/ $25K SIR as are common to the television/SVOD industry.

Criteria

We are a film company focused on film production, finance and production related services for movies under budgets of $35 million.

The Company was originally incorporated in Nevada in October 2007 as Smack Sportswear (“Smack”), which originally manufactured and sold performance and lifestyle based indoor and sand volleyball apparel and accessories.

History

As described above, we were incorporated in Nevada in October 2007 under the name SMACK Sportswear under which we manufactured and sold performance and lifestyle based indoor and sand volleyball apparel and accessories. As a result of the sale of certain inventory from the Company to Mr. Sigler in July 2015, the Company became a “shell company” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). As a result of the Share Exchange, we acquired the proposed business of Almost Never.

Almost Never, our wholly-owned subsidiary upon the closing of Share Exchange, was incorporated in the State of Indiana on July 8, 2015. As a result of the Share Exchange, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name from “Smack Sportswear” to “Almost Never Films Inc.” to more accurately reflect its new business. We also request changed the Company’s OTCQB trading symbol to "HLWD"

We had authorized 6,750,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of (i) 1,750,000 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) 5,000,000 shares designated as preferred stock containing such rights, privileges and designations as our Board of directors may, from time to time, determine. On September 13, 2017, the Company completed a 1 for 40 reverse stock split and changed the authorized capital of the Company to 25,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share. As of the date of this Report, an aggregate of 4,670,049 shares of our Common Stock On March 4, 2016, all 1,000,000 preferred shares were converted into 100,000,000 common shares (pre-split basis).

Our principal executive office is now located at 8605 Santa Monica Blvd #98258, West Hollywood, CA 90069-4109.

Our Business

The Company is an independent film company focused on film production, finance and production related services for movies under budgets of $35 million.

Our proposed business is to facilitate relationships (and as such, provide production related services) between creative talent (including writers, actors and directors) and companies who produce, finance and distribute motion pictures. We intend to acquire or license rights to materials upon which we believe motion pictures can be based (screenplays, books, short stories etcetera, which are referred to within the entertainment industry as the “underlying property”). We may further develop an underlying property by contracting for additional writing services and/or by bringing in new writers to perform “polishes” or “rewrites” on a particular underlying property.

If we are satisfied with the creative state of the underlying property, we then intend to make offers to directors and/or actors, to perform services in connection with a particular motion picture based on that underlying property. These offers are very often contingent and subject to the satisfaction of certain production elements, such as financier approval of the screenplay and the financier’s selection of a start date for principal photography.

If a director or actors accepts one of our offers, the director or actors are said to be “attached” to the motion picture project. Armed with the underlying property and the attached creative element(s) (these elements are often called the “package” in Hollywood), we may then approach third party financiers seeking financing as well as distribution for the potential motion picture. Another approach that we may take is to contact the financiers first, seeking first to produce the film, and then with a finished (or nearly finished) motion picture product, obtain distribution for the picture.

Motion Picture Property Acquisition Process 

Our acquisition process is the process by which we intend to acquire or license “underlying properties”. In turn, we expect to use those properties to attract creative talent (including writers, actors and directors) to the potential motion picture project. If successful, we will then grant or license out those rights to third party financiers of motion pictures, who will then contract with the creative talent we have attracted to the property as well as finance, produce and distribute/exploit the motion picture. 

Almost Never Feature Film Production

Our initial primary involvement with feature film production is in the area of the development of “underlying properties”. We intend to engage third parties to produce, finance and exploit/distribute the motion picture “packages” we put together. We may also provide production expertise (i.e. “production services”) to the third party producer and/or financier of the motion picture in question. If we do provide production expertise, we, or members of our executive team, Danny Chan, Daniel Roth, and Damiano Tucci, may be credited as “producers” or “executive producers” of the particular film in question. We expect to primarily derive our income from producer fees, consulting and service fees as well as our participation in the profits of the various pictures produced by third parties, that were developed and/or “packaged” by us.

Our feature film strategy generally is to perform production services, develop and/or produce feature films when the production budgets for the films are expected to be entirely or substantially covered by a third party. In this way, we believe our risk is, by in large, only the capital required, if any, to develop and package the motion picture project. The entirety of the production budget, as well as any costs associated with distributing and/or exploiting the motion pictures in question, will be expected to be borne by a third party or parties who have the resources and expertise to produce and/or distribute motion pictures.

Distributing Almost Never Motion Pictures

Currently, we do not intend to directly distribute motion pictures. Instead, when we seek financing for our motion picture “packages,” the distribution rights are often obtained by the financier as collateral for their investment; in other words, third parties purchase the world-wide exploitation and distribution rights to a motion picture for the cost it takes to produce the motion picture.

Foreign Markets

In general, a very important portion of the financing for “independent” (i.e., not produced by a major studio or one of their subsidiaries) motion pictures comes from the “foreign markets” (i.e., those markets outside of the United States and English-speaking Canada). With respect to productions we are associated with, the third party financier owns and/or controls the production rights and uses these rights as collateral or purchases the rights outright in connection with the funding of the pictures we develop.

Profit Participation

Our profit participation in motion picture projects will be determined by a calculation that assumes that all “negative costs” (production costs) of the picture (including, but not limited to, costs for development, principal photography and post-production) and “distribution expenses” (including, but not limited to, costs for marketing the film at various international film markets as well as costs associated with the delivery of the film and the physical elements to the various licensees of the film) are recovered by the financier plus interest thereon. After repayment of all negative costs, distribution expenses and interest thereon, the financier/distributor will charge a “distribution fee” (often a percentage of the gross income) for performing any sales or distribution services in connection with the picture. Following the payment of distribution fees and other costs, any amounts payable to creative elements that are contingent compensation (including, but not limited to, deferred compensation and bonuses) are paid to those third parties. Any money remaining is considered net profits from which profit participation is derived.

Competition

The motion picture industry is intensely competitive. In addition to competing with the major film studios that dominate the motion picture industry, we will also compete with numerous independent motion picture production companies, television networks, pay television systems, and online streaming media companies such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime. Virtually all of our competitors are significantly larger than we are, have been in business much longer than we have, and have significantly more resources at their disposal. Our competitors range from small independent producers to well financed established film studios, particularly, major U.S. film studios.

Intellectual Property

We believe that intellectual property will be material to our business and we will expend cost and effort in an attempt to develop and protect our intellectual property and to maintain compliance vis-à-vis other parties' intellectual property. Our ability to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights is subject to certain risks. Enforcement of intellectual property rights is costly and time consuming.

From time to time, we may encounter disputes over rights and obligations concerning intellectual property. We cannot offer any assurances that we will prevail in any intellectual property dispute.

Critical accounting policies and estimates

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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. We continually evaluate our estimates and judgments, our commitments to strategic alliance partners and the timing of the achievement of collaboration milestones. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. All estimates, whether or not deemed critical, affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and judgments are also based on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Materially different results can occur as circumstances change and additional information becomes known, even for estimates and judgments that are not deemed critical.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has not completed its efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures.

As of December 31, 2017, we had a cash balance of $381,303. As of June 30, 2017, we had a cash balance of $91,590. We do not have sufficient funds to operate for the next twelve months. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to the Company. We currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with any person or entity to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources. Since the Company has no such arrangements or plans currently in effect, its inability to raise funds for the above purposes will have a severe negative impact on its ability to remain a viable company.

Financing Activities

During the six months ended December 31, 2017, the Company received $386,000 for the issuance of common stock subscribed pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities Act.

Going Concern Consideration

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. During the six months ended December 31, 2017, the Company incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $120,066 and cash used in operating activities was $514,287. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, an additional cash infusion and an identification of new business opportunities. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stock holders, in case of equity financing.

There was $38,000 cash inflow from investing activities, and $766,000 cash flows from financing activities in the six months ended December 31, 2017.

We do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures during the next twelve months. Although our proceeds from the issuance of debt and our offering of shares of common stock is currently sufficient to fund our operating expenses, we anticipate we will need to raise additional funds in the future so that we can expand our operations. Therefore, our future operations are dependent on our ability to secure additional financing. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, the trading price of our common stock and a downturn in the U.S. equity and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. The inability to obtain additional capital may restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may have to curtail our marketing and development plans and possibly cease our operations.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

During the six months ended December 31, 2017, we did not have any "off-balance sheet arrangements" (as that term is defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K).

Recent accounting pronouncements

Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued since the last audit of our financial statements. The Company's management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. 

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

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time specified in the Commission'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 the issuer's management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and the Company's Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2017. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's CEO and CFO concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2017 due to the Company’s limited internal resources and lack of ability to have multiple levels of transaction review.

Management is in the process of determining how best to change our current system and implement a more effective system to insure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act have been recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately. Our management intends to develop procedures to address the current deficiencies to the extent possible given limitations in financial and manpower resources. While management is working on a plan, no assurance can be made at this point that the implementation of such controls and procedures will be completed in a timely manner or that they will be adequate once implemented.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2017, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
