NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JANUARY 31, 2017
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business
Ameri Metro, Inc. (Ameri Metro and the Company) was formed to engage primarily in high-speed rail for passenger and freight transportation and related transportation projects. The Company initially intends to develop a Midwest high-speed rail system for passengers and freight. Currently the Company is engaged in raising capital and entering into relationships in furtherance of its planned activities.
The Companys activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties including failure to secure additional funding to properly execute the companys business plan.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Companys financial statements filed with the SEC on Form 10K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the consolidated financial statements to be not misleading have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the consolidated financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year 2016 as reported in Form 10K, have been omitted.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for Ameri Metro, Inc. (AMI) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Global Transportation & Infrastructure, Inc. (GTI). Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of, and for the period reported include only the results of operations for AMI as GTI was not formed until December 1, 2010, and was inactive for the period from December 1, 2010 to January 31, 2017.
NOTE 2 GOING CONCERN
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated any revenues since inception and is unlikely to generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. As at January 31, 2017, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $20,365,287 and has accumulated losses of $25,970,266 since inception. The ability of Ameri Metro to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company generating cash from the sale of its common stock and/or obtaining debt financing and attaining future profitable operations.
Managements plans include selling its equity securities and obtaining debt financing to fund its capital requirement and on-going operations; however, there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in these efforts. These factors create substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 DUE TO RELATED PARTIES
At January 31, 2017, the Company is indebted to three directors of the Company for $1,050 (July 31, 2016 - $1,050) for expenditures incurred on behalf of the Company. The amount is unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand.
NOTE 4 LOANS PAYABLE RELATED PARTIES
As of January 31, 2017, $1,044,436 (July 31, 2016 - $960,967) is due to the majority shareholder, of which $509,486 is unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand, $69,596 is past due with an interest rate of 3%, $95,600 is past due with an interest rate of 2%, $107,240 is past due, with an interest rate of 7%, $180,000 is due on demand, with an interest rate of 4%, $9,276 is due on October 1, 2017, with an interest rate of 3% and $73,238 is due on July 31, 2018, with an interest rate of 3%. At January 31, 2017, accrued interest on these loans is $24,304 (July 31, 2016 - $14,068).
F-4
NOTE 5 LOAN PAYABLE
On January 30, 2014, the Company entered into a short-term loan of $6,000 with an interest rate of 3% per annum and a maturity date of April 30, 2015. The Company has repaid $2,597 as of January 31, 2017. At January 31, 2017, accrued interest on these loans is $303 (July 31, 2016 - $277). At January 31, 2017, this loan is past due.
NOTE 6 CAPITAL STOCK
On November 3, 2014, the Company effected a 4:1 forward stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock. As a condition of the split, all shareholders who wanted to participate were required to send $100 to the Transfer Agent to pay for the expense related to reissuance of shares due to split. The cutoff date for the return of the notification and payment to the transfer agent was December 31, 2014. If the shareholder did not return the confirmation and payment, they would not be eligible to receive the additional shares.
As of the date of this filing 99.71% of the shareholders participated and therefore the statements are retroactively adjusted to reflect a 3.99:1 forward split. Due to the 3.99:1 forward split, the shares increased to 938,192,724, and the shares issuable to effect a 4:1 split is 2,736,000 shares. As a result, all share amounts have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented for a 3.99:1 forward split.
On August 4, 2016 the Company issued 104,104 common shares to correct the amount of shares issued to a shareholder as a result of the forward stock split.
On November 23, 2016, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to register 1,000,000 shares for sale at $60 each. On January 17, 2017, the Company filed Amendment No.1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 in response to comments received from the Securities and Exchange Commission. The S-1 has not yet gone effective at March 13, 2017.
NOTE 7 STOCK OPTIONS
On March 8, 2016, the Company adopted a stock option plan named 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, the purpose of which is to help the Company secure and retain the services of employees, directors and consultants, provide incentives to exert maximum efforts for the success of the Company and any affiliate and provide a means by which the eligible recipients may benefit from increases in value of the common stock.
On March 8, 2016, the Company granted 8,000,000 stock options to 4 officers and directors of the Company, exercisable at $42 per share and expire on March 8, 2026.

BUSINESS
The Business
Since its incorporation, the Company has developed its business plan, appointed officers and directors, engaged initial project consultants and entered into negotiations and contracts for related and ancillary business. The Company is in the process of developing proposals for high-speed rail service.
The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware and merged with Ameri Metro 2010 on June 12, 2012. References to the financial condition and performance of the Company below in this section Managements Discussions and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation are to financial statements of the Company.
The Company, and its wholly owned subsidiary Global Transportation and Infrastructure, Inc., are pioneers of Private Public Partnerships (PPP) of infrastructure projects and transportation projects. The Company is a conduit to provide general contracting services for infrastructure projects and transportation projects. As a conduit we identify infrastructure projects for both private and public end users. The Company will bring together private and public entities, the end users, including the affiliate entities to organize the revenue bond offering, which will be the private debt vehicle to build the infrastructure project for the end user. The Companies ultimate role is providing general contracting services and construction management services for the private and public entities.
As the U.S. and World populations are rapidly increasing and global infrastructure is being surpassed in its ability to safely and adequately provide the effective transportation for sustainable economics, infrastructure is becoming inadequate and dilapidated. Governing authorities ability to keep up with preventative maintenance and replacement lacks funding. Studies have consistently shown that the development of infrastructure permeates economic growth. Lack of funding due to global financial crises have sent governments into restructuring their budgets and bail outs have further reduced the possibility for governmental funding. The Companys management team has recognized the need for a solution to curb the financial burden on the governments and taxpayer alike. The Company has developed a solid approach to Private Public Partnerships for these type of projects.
Due to scale and complexity of infrastructure finance much thought has been given by the Company to overall financial requirements, and the functionality of financial structure of the Companys operations. The Companys Founder, Shah Mathias, has organized and established three nonprofit corporations and is an independent consultant of a fourth nonprofit (ATFI) for the purpose of facilitating the development of the transportation systems

Global Infrastructure Finance & Development Authority (GIF&DA)
Alabama Toll Facilities Inc., High-Speed Rail Facilities, Inc., High-Speed Rail Facilities Provider, Inc. and Global Infrastructure Finance & Development Authority take a comprehensive, intermodal approach to resolving the nations transportation crisis. And they propose doing so without the necessity of increasing taxes at any level, or in any manner. In short, they replace pubic financing with private funding.
High-Speed Rail Facilities, Inc., High-Speed Rail Facilities Provider, Inc. and Global Infrastructure Finance & Development Authority are prepared to assume a much larger role with the Company. Having brought together the necessary technical and industrial components to begin work immediately, the Company need not engage in costly, time-consuming pilot programs. Our team of experts is prepared to move expeditiously forward on the widest variety of fronts, from site selection, to trainset construction, to building cooperative ventures with ancillary components of the transportation and accommodation industries nationwide. The Company takes an intermodal approach to providing seamless service with a scale of economy. Specifically, the Companys paradigm anticipates a fundamental change in the manner in which passenger rail service will be provided. The high-speed rail plan will utilize existing rail rights-of-way to connect several metropolitan areas and states serving expanding populations. The major elements of the plan would include:
13
·
Use of existing rail rights-of-way to connect rural, small urban and major metropolitan areas;
·
Operation of a "hub-and-spoke" passenger rail system providing service to and through one or more major hubs to locations throughout the United States;
·
Introduction of modern rail equipment operating at speeds exceeding 250 mph;
·
Provision of multi-modal connections to improve system access;
·
Improvement in reliability and on-time performance;
·
Development or expansion of a feeder bus system linking outlying areas to railroad stations;
·
Acquiring new train equipment including train sets, including spares;
·
Communications Systems, and grade-crossing improvements;
These three entities play a vital role in financing. The non-profits statues provide a vehicle to issue bonds and help secure infrastructure projects. The non-profit entities have the discretion to turn over the infrastructure projects to the state or the governing body having jurisdiction after it has successfully developed and paid for the projects. However, in order to support the functionality of financial structure and manage the development of specific projects, sixteen for profit entities have been developed under the Companys umbrella, The Company will interface with each entity in three separate stages: Stage 1 interface - as consultant for fee, Stage 2 interface as provider for construction services for fee and Stage 3 interface as a 25% shareholder (post construction operations revenue). The sixteen for profit entities are::

The following discussion outlines the steps that the Company anticipates that will occur in regard to the adoption and implementation of Trade and Transportation and a high-speed rail system by a regional or local municipality. To date, the Company has not developed any rail systems.
The Company plans that it will prepare the feasibility and Investment Grade studies and locate contractors and manufacturers to complete work and provide cost estimates. Trade and Transportation corridors use technology well known to US contractors, however, because high-speed rail travel is already in-place in much of Europe and Asia, the Company anticipates working with European companies to furnish the high-speed equipment, such as locomotives and passenger cars.
The Company will put proposed contracts together with the supporting feasibility study, appraisals, cost/benefit analysis, TEMS study, transportation history and other data to create a complete regional project proposal. The Company will then present such project proposals to the municipalities (state or local) as a complete and finished project. The local or regional municipality will then independently analyze and discuss the Company's proposal. If accepted, the Company anticipates that, upon approval, the local municipality will effectuate a bond offering for the funding of the different projects. The Company anticipates that the projects will be financed by bonds or indentures offered by sponsored or affiliated non-profit organizations of the applicable local or municipal government or agency. Such non-profit entities may also be affiliates or companies related to the Company.
Once a proposed Trade and Transportation or high-speed rail project is accepted and a financing bond issue is effected by the municipality, the Company will act as the project manager and oversee the entire project including not only the development of the project but its continued operations as well. The Company will also serve as the main central point for coordination of and between the municipalities, contractors, and operators of the project and once established, the rail system.
Hi Speed Rail Facilities, Inc.
In 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with HSRF (one of the Company's related nonprofit companies) The Company per agreement will be responsible for construction of projects while the nonprofit will be responsible for financing construction and operation of various high speed rail and related projects across the United States. HSRF is designed to focus on the building of train tracks and stations. Pursuant to the agreement between the Company and HSRF, the Company will act as the agent and representative of HSRF to perform all required tasks and actions to develop and construct such projects. The Company anticipates that having this agreement in place and by having HSRF already organized will expedite the process of commencing a project once the Company designs and develops and secures or raises funds to commence a project upon approval of this registration Statement.
Hi Speed Rail Facilities Provider, Inc.
In 2010, the Company entered into a written agreement with HSRFP (one of the Company's related nonprofit companies). The Company per agreement will be responsible for construction of projects while the nonprofit will be responsible for financing construction and operation of various high speed rail and related projects across the United States. Pursuant to such agreement between the Company and HSRFP, the Company was appointed as the agent and representative of HSRFP to perform all required tasks and actions to develop and construct such projects. HSRFP was organized to provide a vehicle to issue bonds and help secure infrastructure projects for the Company, focusing on facilities ancillary to the high speed rail, such as rail yards, rail assembly plants maintenance facilities. The Company anticipates that having this agreement in place and by having HSRF already organized will expedite the process of commencing a project once the Company secures approval of this registration Statement.
ING Investment Management
Each of the nonprofits has entered into an investment management agreement with ING Investment Management to manage any funds raised in bond offerings and to provide its investment advisory services. This non-binding agreement would only take effect upon the raising of revenue bonds, which to date has not occurred. ING Investment Management would serve to invest, reinvest and supervise the management of any such funds raised, for any project in the future, while such funds were held in an investment account and until use for the intended funds are needed for project purposes. The Company has not yet commenced raising funds through any bond offerings.
Supporting Information
To support the Companys business plan, the United States Census Bureau predicts that the American population will reach 420 million by 2050, a trend that will overwhelm our nations transportation infrastructure.
Current estimates suggest that overall freight demand will double over the next 40 years from 15 billion tons today to 30 billion tons. The number of trucks on the road is also expected to double. Already under unsustainable strain, the nations freight transportation infrastructure and highways will face even greater challenges as the total volume of freight increases.
17
Extensive infrastructure expansion, such as new ports, trade corridors and high-speed rail (HSR), is critical if rail and road transportation is to help mitigate problems associated with rising fuel costs, crowded highways, and greenhouse gas emissions. Population growth and development in the U.S. have made our nation increasingly reliant on rail and highway infrastructure to transport people and freight.
Clearly, a strong, efficient freight transportation system is vital to the nations economy. Our already-strained and outdated railways must be upgraded to handle the projected increases in freight shipping to relieve congestion on our highways. New trade corridors are needed to support the changes in marine shipping that will need new ports and infrastructure. Equally, new high speed rail routes are needed to increase connectivity between US cities and support the emerging new economy, and reduce auto emissions.
Company Focus
The Company recognizes the $57 Trillion Dollar Infrastructure Market as identified in McKinseys report, the need and demand for alternative transportation such as, high speed rail, sea ports, intermodal ports and toll roads. The Boeing reports and Society of Civil Engineers reports identify the need for more efficient port operations and infrastructure projects to be completed to satisfy the demands and growth of the United States. It is increasingly important as the United States adopts policies to attempt to reduce its dependency on fossil fuels and to improve its infrastructure and transportation systems for global competiveness. The Companys intention is to profit from such opportunities and has structured itself to be the leading provider of such services in the United States and globally.
The Company is focusing on the following means to create efficient freight transportation:
?
Increase port capacity to increase our nations ability to distribute goods, making us more competitive in the global economy.
?
Develop larger, rail-served, inland distribution centers that will encourage more efficient movement of goods and create more capacity at ports.
?
Permit increased volume and speed of inland heavy freight, allowing inland distribution points to expand into larger, national service hubs and promote economic growth.
?
Develop profitable high speed rail for the fast movement of people and goods.
Management believes that development of the Trade and Transport Corridors and High Speed Rail Corridors will result in significant franchise operations. These include
Ø
Fuel: The Company will franchise fuel and energy for vehicles moving in the corridors it develops.
Ø
Corridor Centers for Food/Restaurants/Hotels: Food/restaurants and hotels at major intersections and terminal areas associated with its Trade, Toll and Rail corridors.
Ø
Logistic Technology Applications: The Company will develop advanced High Speed operations for Truck and Rail freight and passenger operations. High Speed Truck Lanes, truck trains and automatic truck operations will be included in the Companys Toll Roads. High Speed Rail Freight and Passenger operations with train speeds exceeding 250 mph will be developed.
Ø
Pipelines: Pipeline operations will be developed where appropriate to facilitate crude oil movements to coastal refineries from inland oil fields and facilities.
Ø
Cable: Cable will be laid along the Company corridors to increase capacity for phone line operators.
Ø
Parking: Parking facilities will be developed at critical network locations and at network nodes.
Ø
Advertising: Advertising facilities will be developed as appropriate along the project corridors and key locations at Terminals and Facilities.
Ø
Franchise Zones: The Company has developed a nationwide franchise Zone System that it will use with both projects and products. The franchise zone system allows the Company to recognize regional differences in pricing and franchising its market products.

Entry of the Company into the Market
The Company anticipates that it can offer a comprehensive, innovative approach to resolving the nations transportation crisis. And it proposes doing so without the necessity of the government increasing taxes at any level, or in any manner. In short, the Company suggests replacing public financing with private funding.
The primary competitive barrier most companies face in attempting to impact the nations infrastructure crisis is that they approach the overall problem in disparate segments. For example, one provider proposes building railroad cars, while another proposes laying tracks. A third is interested in depots, while a fourth focuses on accommodations. None bring a comprehensive plan for full-funding to the mix. On the other hand, the Company takes an intermodal approach to providing seamless service with a scale of economy. For example the high-speed rail plan will utilize existing rail rights-of-way to connect several metropolitan areas and states serving expanding populations.
The Company through related parties also foresees pursuing joint ventures with other industries related to the transportation industry. For example, HSR Technologies it is currently finalizing an arrangement with a major manufacturer of certain materials used in the construction of highways and other transportation systems. The discussions contemplate a two-fold transaction by which the Company would initially buy the manufacturing plant and then subsequently purchase the remaining non-cash assets of the Company.
Competition
The Company may face significant competition from other companies that may be developing competing transportation systems. The Company will, however, face competition in the allocation of monetary resources from governmental agencies, at the local, regional, state and federal levels. The Company believes that government agencies will strongly endorse its proposed plan for high-speed regional rail systems, but believes that, given the economic environment, there may be few or no funds available for such development.
19
Nevertheless, as an example, traditionally significant competition generally exists in the industry, from government agencies and entities. Due to the federal budgetary constraints, henceforth any completion would come from private or public entities. On the heels of the Department of Transportations recent request for high-speed rail proposals, its Federal Railroad Administration received 132 applications from 32 states totaling $8.8 billion. That was more than three times the $2.4 billion available. During the first round of awards in the fall of 2009, applicants submitted more than $55 billion in project proposals. That was nearly six times the initial $8 billion available from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Unfortunately, due to federal budgetary setbacks, as of early 2017, very little of this has come to fruition.
Trading Market
While there currently is no market for the shares, the Company as obtained the trading symbol ARMT from FINRA.
Employees
In addition to the Chief Executive Officer, the Company has a few salaried employees and directors and approximately twenty six other persons who are working on behalf of the Company to assist in the development of its initial projects. Employees and consultants salaries and fees generally are being accrued. The Company has also issued stock to employees for their consulting and professional services.

Results of Operations
Comparison of the Three Months Ended January 31, 2017 and 2016.

For the three months ended January 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had total operating expenses of $2,416,798 and $1,775,247, respectively and net losses of $2,421,988 and $1,775,910, respectively. The increase in operating expenses and net loss resulted primarily from increases in officer payroll and audit committee fees.

The Company has no source of continuing revenues and received no revenues for the six months ending January 31, 2017 and 2016.

Cash Requirements
We had $3,707 in cash and cash equivalents as of January 31, 2017. Our cash used in operations for the six months ended January 31, 2017 was $106,922. We had a net loss for the six months ended January 31, 2017 of $4,120,043. We had an accumulated deficit of $25,970,266 at January 31, 2017. Our cash on hand is not sufficient to cover our monthly expenses and we continue to seek financing in the form of debt or stock sales to finance our operations. There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in these efforts.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Operations
For the six months ended January 31, 2017, our net cash used in operating activities was $106,922, which consisted primarily of our net loss of $4,120,043, offset primarily by increases in accrued expenses of $4,026,178. For the six months ended January 31, 2016, our net cash used in operating activities was $100,652 which consisted primarily of our net loss of $4,447,318 offset by an increase in accrued expenses of $3,409,791 and an increase in accounts payable of $951,180.
Financing
For the six months ended January 31, 2017, our net cash provided by financing activities was $83,469, which consisted of proceeds from related party loans. For the six months ended January 31, 2016 our net cash provided by financing activities was $117,017, which consisted primarily of proceeds from related party loans of $114,324 less repayments of related party loans of $27,579.
Related Party Transactions
At January 31, 2017, the Company is indebted to three directors of the Company for $1,050 (July 31, 2016 - $1,050) for expenditures incurred on behalf of the Company. The amount is unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand.
As of January 31, 2017, $1,044,436 (July 31, 2016 - $960,907) is due to the majority shareholder, of which $509,486 is unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand, $69,596 is past due with an interest rate of 3%, $95,600 is past due with an interest rate of 2%, $107,240 is past due, with an interest rate of 7%, $180,000 is due on demand with an interest rate of 4%, $9,276 is due on October 1, 2017 with an interest rate of 3%, and $73,238 is due on July 31, 2018 with an interest rate of 3%. At January 31, 2017, accrued interest on these loans is $24,304 (July 31, 2016 - $14,068).
Going Concern
The Company has negative working capital, has incurred losses since inception, and has not yet received significant revenues from sales of products or services. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
The ability of Ameri Metro to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company generating cash from the sale of its common stock and/or obtaining debt financing and attaining future profitable operations. Managements plans include selling its equity securities and obtaining debt financing to fund its capital requirement and on-going operations; however, there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in these efforts. The Company has recently had meetings with certain groups and municipalities regarding proposed transportation infrastructure projects, and it has also met with potential investors for these projects; in addition, it recently filed a stock registration statement (Form S-1) so stock can be issued to raise $60,000,000 of funding (the registration statement has not yet gone effective).

Critical Accounting Policies
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires making estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The Company believes that the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its financial statements:
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Share-based payments
The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation Stock Compensation which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and credited to additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered.
The Company follows ASC Topic 505-50, formerly EITF 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods and Services, for stock options and warrants issued to consultants and other non-employees. In accordance with ASC Topic 505-50, these stock options and warrants issued as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based upon the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the
option or warrant, whichever can be more clearly determined. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For the three month period ended January 31, 2017, there were no accounting standards or interpretations issued that are expected to have a material impact on our financial position, operations or cash flows.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
We conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, as of January 31, 2017, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities Exchange Commissions rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of January 31, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses identified and described in our Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting filed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. However management is focused on putting in place effective controls.
