NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business
In March 2019, Applied UV, Inc. (the "Company") was formed and incorporated in the State of Delaware for the intended purpose of creating a legal holding company structure for SteriLumen, Inc. and Munn Works, LLC and any future potential mergers or acquisitions. The then-existing shareholders and members of SteriLumen, Inc. and Munn Works, LLC exchanged all of their interest for shares of Applied UV, Inc. with substantially similar economic voting interests for each shareholder immediately before and after the share exchange. As a result of the share exchange, SteriLumen, Inc. and Munn Works, LLC became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Applied UV, Inc and, collectively referred to as (the "Company"). The combination met the criteria outlined in ASC 850 to be accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control and therefore the financial statements are being presented as if the transfer happened at the beginning of the period and prior year financial information has been retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information.
SteriLumen, Inc. is engaged in the design, manufacture, assembly and distribution of automated disinfecting mirror systems for use in hospitals and other healthcare facilities. The Company was incorporated in the State of New York in November of 2012 and is headquartered in Mount Vernon, New York. Munn Works, LLC is engaged in the manufacture of fine mirrors specifically for the hospitality industry.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) set forth in Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Unaudited interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read along with the Annual Report filed of the Company for the annual period ended December 31, 2019. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year then ended. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Applied UV, Inc., Munn Works, LLC and SteriLumen, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue and Cost Recognition
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted accounting standard ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all the related amendments using the modified retrospective method for all customer contracts not yet completed as of the adoption date. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have a significant impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company recognizes revenue when the performance obligations in the client contract has been achieved. A performance obligation is a contractual promise to transfer a distinct service to the customer. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as, the customer receives the benefit of the performance obligation. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised services in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those services.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Revenue and Cost Recognition (Continued)
To achieve this core principal, the Company applies the following five steps:
1) | Identify the contract with a customer |
A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party's rights regarding the services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for services that are transferred is probable based on the customer's intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer's ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the customer's historical payment experience or, in the case of a new customer, published credit and financial information pertaining to the customer.
2) | Identify the performance obligations in the contract |
Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised services, the Company must apply judgment to determine whether promised services are capable of being distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met the promised services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation. The Company promises to design, manufacture and sell custom mirrors through contractual arrangements. It was determined that most services within a contract are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer over the term of the agreement and are therefore highly interdependent upon each other. As such, the Company determined that the services within a contract are not separately identifiable in the context of the contract and should therefore be bundled into a single performance obligation.
3) | Determine the transaction price |
The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring services to the customer. We evaluate whether a significant financing component exists when we recognize revenue in advance of customer payments that occur over time. We do not adjust the transaction price for the effects of financing if, at contract inception, the period between the transfer of control to a customer and final payment is expected to be one year or less. The Company establishes pricing for contracts with customers based on a fixed price for a fixed fee. Contracts do not provide for a discount or refund to customers and historically, no discounts or refunds have been given.
4) | Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract |
If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. However, if a series of distinct services that are substantially the same qualifies as a single performance obligation in a contract with variable consideration, the Company must determine if the variable consideration is attributable to the entire contract or to a specific part of the contract. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price based on management's judgment. The identified promises are considered to be bundled in arriving at the overall promise within the contract. This promise therefore results in one performance obligation, to design, manufacture and sell custom mirrors to our customer, therefore, allocation of the transaction price is not necessary.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Revenue and Cost Recognition (continued)
5) | Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation |
Revenue is comprised of projects that are completed within our own facility or from a third-party vendor (direct sales). For projects that are completed within our own facility, the Company satisfies performance obligations at over time. For projects that are completed from a third-party vendor, the performance obligation is recognized at a point in time.
As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, total deferred revenue was $746,936 and $1,245,300. As of September 30, 2020, deferred revenue was comprised of work generated from our own Mount Vernon facility of $437,552 and work performed at the third party manufacturer of $309,384. At January 1, 2020, deferred revenue was $1,245,300 which the entire amount was recognized as revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. As of December 31, 2019, deferred revenue was comprised of work generated from our own Mount Vernon facility of $844,331, work performed at the third party manufacturer of $363,940 and billings made upfront of $37,029.
For projects, that are completed within our own facility, we design, manufacture and sell custom mirrors for hotels and hospitals through contractual agreements. These sales require us to deliver our products within three to six months from commencement of order acceptance. We recognize revenue over time by using the input method based on costs incurred as it depicts our progress toward satisfaction of the performance obligation. Under this method, revenue arising from fixed price contracts is recognized as work is performed based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligations. Incurred costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs and depreciation costs. Contract material costs are included in incurred costs when the project materials have been purchased or moved to work in process as required by the project’s engineering design. Cost based input methods of revenue recognition require us to make estimates of costs to complete the projects. In making such estimates, significant judgment is required to evaluate assumptions related to the costs to complete the projects, including materials, labor and other system costs. If the estimated total costs on any contract are greater than the net contract revenues, we recognize the entire estimated loss in the period the loss becomes known and can be reasonably estimated. Deferred Revenue represents amounts billed in excess of revenues and profits recognized. Total deferred revenue from the input method of accounting was $368,007 and $844,331 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Revenues and profits recognized in excess of amounts billed typically does not occur as we will not perform any work in excess of the amount we bill to our customers.
Each product or service delivered to a third-party customer that is manufactured by a third-party vendor is considered to satisfy a performance obligation. Performance obligations generally occur at a point in time and are satisfied when control of the goods passes to the customer. These sales are shipped from the manufacturer to the customer without our taking physical inventory possession. We report direct sales on a gross basis, that is, the amounts billed to our customers are recorded as "Sales," and inventory purchased from manufacturers are recorded as Cost of Sales. We are the principal of direct sales because we control the inventory before it is transferred to our customers. Our control is evidenced by us being primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to our customers, taking on inventory risk of returned product, and having discretion in establishing pricing. We typically pay our vendors a portion of the total cost up front and the remaining balance is accrued for and paid within 30 to 60 days of when the products are shipped from the third-party warehouse. Vendor payments are capitalized until completion of the project and are recorded as vendor deposits. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the vendor deposit balance was $146,278 and $104,517, respectively.

5) | Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation (continued) |
Losses expected to be incurred on contracts in progress are charged to operations in the period such losses are determined. Deferred revenue from these projects as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $378,929 and $363,942, respectively. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no losses charged to expense.
There are times that we bill upfront where no work is performed until 30 to 60 days after the deposit is received from our customer. Accordingly, no revenue is recognized and the amounts are deferred. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, deferred revenue balances related to these invoices were $- and $37,029, respectively.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company generated revenues of $2,981,651 at a point in time and $1,511,410 over time. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company generated revenues of $4,472,038 at a point in time and $1,907,221 over time.
Stock Based Compensation
Share based compensation cost is measured at grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award using a Black Scholes option pricing model for options with service or performance-based conditions. Stock based compensation cost is recognized as expense, over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis for service-based awards. The Black-Scholes model incorporate several variables, including expected term, expected volatility, expected dividend yield and a risk-free interest rate. We estimate the expected term of the options granted based on anticipated exercises in future periods based on historical activity. The expected stock price volatility for the Company’s stock options is calculated based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected dividend yield reflects our current and expected future policy for dividends on our common stock. To determine the risk-free interest rate, we utilize the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant with a term consistent with the expected term of our awards. We have elected to account for forfeitures as they occur.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize right-of-use, or ROU, assets and related lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases greater than one year in duration. We adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach did not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. The adoption of this standard resulted in the recording of ROU assets and lease liabilities for all our lease agreements with original terms of greater than one year. The adoption of ASC 842 did not have a significant impact on our statements of income or cash flows.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which removes, modifies and adds various disclosure requirements related to fair value disclosures. Disclosures related to transfers between fair value hierarchy levels will be removed and further detail around changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period and unobservable inputs used in determining level 3 fair value measurements will be added, among other changes. ASU 2018-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology for financial assets with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses.

Reverse Stock Split
In June of 2020, we effected a 5:1 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) by filing an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State.

The Plan permits the granting of Nonqualified Stock Options, Incentive Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares, Performance Units and Other Awards. The objectives of the Plan are to optimize the profitability and growth of the Company through incentives that are consistent with the Company’s goals and that link the personal interests of Participants to those of the Company’s stockholders. The Plan is further intended to provide flexibility to the Company in its ability to motivate, attract and retain the services of Participants who make or are expected to make significant contributions to the Company’s success and to allow Participants to share in the success of the Company. From time to time, we may issue Incentive Awards pursuant to the Plan. Each of the awards will be evidenced by and issued under a written agreement.
If an incentive award granted under the Plan expires, terminates, is unexercised or is forfeited, or if any shares are surrendered to us in connection with an incentive award, the shares subject to such award and the surrendered shares will become available for future awards under the Plan. The number of shares subject to the Plan, and the number of shares and terms of any Incentive Award may be adjusted in the event of any change in our outstanding common stock by reason of any stock dividend, spin-off, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, liquidation, business combination or exchange of shares, or similar transaction.

Share-based compensation expense for options totaling $6,738 was recognized in our results for the nine-months ended September 30, 2020 based on awards vested.
The valuation methodology used to determine the fair value of the options issued during the year was the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires the use of a number of assumptions including volatility of the stock price, the average risk-free interest rate, and the weighted average expected life of the options. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates on zero coupon U.S. Treasury bonds whose maturity period is appropriate for the term of the options. Estimated volatility is a measure of the amount by which the Company’s stock price is expected to fluctuate each year during the expected life of the award. The Company’s calculation of estimated volatility is based on historical stock prices of these peer entities over a period equal to the expected life of the awards. The Company uses the historical volatility of peer entities due to the lack of sufficient historical data of its stock price.
As of September 30, 2020, there was $17,844 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested employee options granted under the Company’s share-based compensation plans that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1 year.

On August 31, 2020, the Company closed its offering (the “August Offering”) in which it sold 1,000,000 common shares at a public offering price of $5.00 per share. In connection with the Offering, the Company (i) received $5,750,000, less underwriting fees of $517,000 and write-off of capitalized IPO Costs in the amount of $343,000, resulting in net proceeds of $4,889,000. Addionally, the Company issued 167,794 shares to Ross Carmel of Carmel, Milazzo & Feil LLP for the Offering. In addition, the underwriters were granted a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 150,000 shares of Common Stock or any combination thereof, to cover over-allotments, if any (the “Over-Allotment Option”). The shares were offered and sold to the public pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1, filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 26, 2020, as amended, which became effective on August 28, 2020.
NOTE 8 – RELATED PARTY
In February of 2019, the Company engaged Carmel, Milazzo & Feil LLP (the "Firm") to represent and assist the company with all general corporate legal matters including the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission of a registration statement on Form S-1 through the Company's intended initial public offering. Ross Carmel, a board member of Applied UV, is a partner at the firm. The firm will perform services in exchange for three percent of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock, issued as follows: 1.) One percent due upon execution of the agreement 2.) One percent due up the filing of the Form S-1; and 3.) One percent due upon the SEC declaring the Form S-1 effective. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the company was liable to issue 102,066 shares of common stock to the firm. These shares have previously not been issued and have been recorded as a liability to be settled in stock for an amount of $507,805 as of December 31, 2019, however, the shares were subsequently issued in June of 2020, and the liability has been reclassed to additional paid in capital. Pursuant to the offering in August of 2020, the company issued an additional 59,728 common shares to the firm. The amount of $298,640 was recorded to additional paid in capital with a net effect of nill as the shares were issued in connection with the offering.
NOTE 9 – LEASING ARRANGEMENTS
The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 prospectively as of January 1, 2019, the date of initial application, and therefore prior comparative periods were not adjusted. As part of the adoption, the Company elected the “package of expedients”, which permits the Company not to reassess under the new standard the Company’s prior conclusions about lease identification and initial direct costs. The Company did not elect the use-of hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements, the latter not being applicable to the Company. The Company has lease arrangements which are classified as short-term in nature. The Company has elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those leases that qualify, the Company will not recognize Right of Use ("ROU") assets or lease liabilities.
The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company has operating leases for office space and office equipment. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of one year to seven years, some of which include options to extend the lease term for up to five years. The Company considered these options to extend in determining the lease term used to establish the Company’s right-of use assets and lease liabilities once reasonably certain of exercise. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made in advance of lease commencement and excludes lease incentives. The lease terms used in the calculations of the operating ROU assets and operating lease liabilities include options to extend or terminate the lease when the Company is reasonably certain that it will exercise those options. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate of 5% based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.
Consistent with ASC 842-20-50-4, the Company calculated its total lease cost based solely on its monthly rent obligation. The Company had no cash flows arising from its lease, no finance lease cost, short term lease cost, or variable lease costs. Our lease does not produce any sublease income, or any net gain or loss recognized from sale and leaseback transactions. As a result, the Company did not need to segregate amounts between finance and operating leases for cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities, segregated between operating and financing cash flows; supplemental non-cash information on lease liabilities arising from obtaining right-of-use assets; weighted-average calculations for the remaining lease term; or the weighted-average discount rate.

NOTE 12 - LEGAL
APF Management filed and served a complaint in 2013 New York state court against Munn Works, LLC, Max Munn and various other parties seeking recovery of damages and was awarded various damages on behalf of APF.
On June 25, 2018, Munn Works, LLC. entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy in order to facilitate an appeal and a resolution to this matter. As part of the Chapter 11 bankruptcy, APF management filed a claim in the amount of $1,474,505. All of the parties agreed to resolve the disputes whereby, APF would receive $400,000 payable by the Company. The amount was settled and paid in full in 2019.
Administration of Chapter 11 Case
In June of 2018, Munn Works, LLC received Bankruptcy court approval of certain "first-day" motions, which preserved the Company's ability to continue operations without interruption in Chapter 11. As part of the "first-day" motions, the Company received approval to pay or otherwise honor certain pre-petition obligations generally designed to support the Company's operations. Additionally, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Company's authority to pay for goods and services received post-petition in the ordinary course of business.
As part of the chapter 11 case, the Company has retained, pursuant to Bankruptcy Court authorization, legal and other professionals to advise the Company in connection with the administration of its chapter 11 case and its litigation with APF management, and certain other professionals to provide services and advice in the ordinary course business. As a result of the chapter 11 filing, the payment of pre-petition liabilities is generally subject to compromise pursuant to a plan of reorganization. Generally, under the Bankruptcy Code, actions to enforce or otherwise effect payment of pre-bankruptcy filing liabilities are stayed. Although payment of pre-petition claims generally is not permitted, the Bankruptcy Court granted the Company authority to pay certain pre-petition claims in designated categories and subject to certain terms and conditions. Among other things, the Bankruptcy Court has authorized the Company to pay certain pre-petition claims relating to employees and critical vendors.
On June 25, 2018. the Company filed schedules of assets and liabilities and statement of financial affairs (the "Schedules") with the Bankruptcy Court. The Bankruptcy Court has entered an order setting October 26, 2018 as the deadline for filing proofs of claim (the "Bar Date"). The Bar Date is the date by which claims against the Company relating to the period prior to the commencement of the Company's chapter 11 case must be filed if such claims are not listed in liquidated, non-contingent and undisputed amounts in the Schedules, or if the claimant disagrees with the amount, characterization or classification of its claim as reflected in the Schedules. Claims that are subject to the Bar Date and which are not filed on or prior to the Bar Date, may be barred from participating in any distribution that may be made under a plan of reorganization in the Company's chapter 11 case.

Revenues, expenses, realized gains and losses, and provisions for losses that can be directly associated with the reorganization and restructuring of the business must be reported separately as reorganization items in the consolidated statements of operations. The balance sheet must distinguish pre-petition liabilities subject to compromise from both those pre-petition liabilities that are not subject to compromise and from post-petition liabilities. Liabilities that may be subject to a plan of reorganization must be reported at the amounts expected to be allowed in the Company's chapter 11 case, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts as a result of the plan of reorganization or negotiations with creditors. In addition, cash used by reorganization items are disclosed separately in the consolidated statements of cash flow.
Liabilities Subject to Compromise
Pre-petition liabilities that are subject to compromise are required to be reported at the amounts expected to be allowed in the Company's chapter 11 case, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts. The amounts classified as Liabilities Subject to Compromise as of December 31, 2018 may be subject to future adjustments depending on Bankruptcy Court actions, further developments with respect to disputed claims, determinations of the secured status of certain claims, if any, the value of any collateral securing such claims, or other events. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the value of the claims that will ultimately be allowed in its chapter 11 case until its evaluation, investigation and reconciliation of all filed claims has been completed. The amount of liabilities subject to compromise represents the Company's estimate, where an estimate is determinable, of known or potential pre-petition claims to be addressed in connection with its chapter 11 case. Such liabilities are reported at the Company's current estimate, where an estimate is determinable, of the allowed claim amount, even though they may be settled for lesser amounts. These claims remain subject to future adjustments depending on Bankruptcy Court actions, further developments with respect to disputed claims, determinations of the secured status of certain claims, if any, the value of any collateral securing such claims, or other events.
As of December 31, 2018, Liabilities subject to Compromise consist of the following (note: all liabilities were settled in 2019, therefore no balances remain as of December 31, 2019):
2018 | ||||
Accounts payable and accrued expenses- pre-petition | $ | 492,014 | ||
Notes payable- pre-petition | 370,390 | |||
Expectation damages accrual- APF Management | 1,474,505 | |||
Total | $ | 2,336,909 |
Pursuant to Bankruptcy Court Order dated May 31, 2019, the Debtor’s Second Amended Chapter 11 Plan dated April 29, 2019 (the “Plan”) was approved and confirmed. The Plan provided treatment for five (5) classes of claims, with the general unsecured claims composing Class 4 Claimants. Under the Plan, Class 4 Claimants, would receive 10% of their Allowed Claim on the Effective Date. As a result of the bankruptcy claim, APF received and settled for $400,000 where a gain on settlement of $1,074,505 was recorded. As described in Note 6 of the financial statements, the Company recorded a total net gain from settlement of debt in the amount of $57,640. Other various pre-petition creditors received and settled for a total of $103,761, resulting in a gain on settlement in the amount of $388,253. The entire amount was escrowed on or before May 23, 2019 and paid within 15 days of the effective date of the stipulation. As a result of the transaction, the Company recorded a total gain on settlement of $1,520,398.

NOTE 15 - PAYROLL PROTECTION PLAN LOAN
In April of 2020, the Company submitted a Paycheck Protection Program application to Chase Bank for a loan amount equal to $296,827. The amount was approved and the Company has received the funds. The Lender will have 90 days to review borrower’s forgiveness application and the SBA will have an additional 60 days to review the Lender’s decision as to whether the borrower’s loan may be forgiven. Under the CARES Act, loan forgiveness is available for the sum of documented payroll costs, covered rent payments, covered utilities, and certain covered mortgage interest payments during the twenty four-week period beginning on the date of first disbursement of the PPP Loan. For purposes of the CARES Act, payroll costs exclude compensation of an individual employee earning more than $100,000, prorated annually. Not more than 40% of the forgiven amount may be for non-payroll costs. Forgiveness is reduced if full-time headcount declines, or if salaries and wages for employees with salaries of $100,000 or less annually are reduced by more than 25%. Although the Company currently believes that its use of the PPP Loan will meet the conditions for forgiveness of the PPP Loan, the Company cannot assure that the PPP Loan will be forgiven, in whole or in part.
Future maturities of the loan payable, if not forgiven, are as follows:
Twelve months ending September 30, | ||||

NOTE 16 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Management has evaluated subsequent events through November 15, 2020, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

Net sales and gross profit are the most significant drivers of our operating performance. Net sales consist of all sales to customers, net of returns. Our net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased by 29.6% to $4,493,061 from $6,379,259 in the nine months ended 2019. All net sales for all periods presented were generated entirely from our Munn Works subsidiary. The declining performance in the hospitality industry from the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a decline in our revenues. As the economy improves from the COVID-19 decline, we believe that the recovery will drive our revenues back to our normal operating levels.
Accordingly, gross profit expressed as a percentage of net sales can be influenced by many factors including overall sales performance. For nine months ended September 30, 2020, gross profit decreased to $668,024 from $2,064,164 for nine months ended 2019. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 14.9% for nine months ended September 30, 2020 from 32.4% in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily driven by lower sales volume and less frequent materials purchases, coupled with the Company retaining direct labor employees (to comply with payroll protection plan loan forgiveness criteria). Employee and compensation levels are expected to be maintained; however, it is not certain at this time whether the loan will be forgiven. In addition, there is a decrease in percentage of sales generated from our third-party warehouses in China which is historically more profitable for our business. Margins from period to period and can vary based on the profitability of each individual job. In 2020, the Company worked on several large contracts that were less profitable than the previous year. Major components and cost drivers of our cost of sales is influenced by the cost of materials, shipping, overhead, and labor costs.
23
Stock based compensation has increased due to the company’s adoption of its incentive plan and issuance of options and warrants during the quarter. On March 31, 2020, the Company adopted the Applied UV, Inc. 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) with 600,000 shares of common stock available for issuance under the terms of the Plan. The Plan permits the granting of Nonqualified Stock Options, Incentive Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares, Performance Units and Other Awards.
Selling, General and Administrative expenses, including the costs of operating our corporate office, are also an important component of our operating performance. Compensation and benefits comprise the majority of our operating expenses. Selling, General and Administrative expenses contain fixed and variable costs and managing the operating expense ratio (operating expenses expressed as a percentage of net sales) is an important focus of management as we seek to increase our overall profitability. Operating expenses include cash costs as well as non-cash costs, such as depreciation and amortization associated with corporate and property and equipment and impairment of long-lived assets. Operating expenses can also include certain costs that are of a one-time or non-recurring nature. For nine months ended September 30, 2020 , Selling, General and Administrative expenses increased to $1,443,276 from $1,377,104 in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was attributable to an increase in professional and consulting fees to assist the Company in financial reporting. In addition, the company increased its bad debt allowance during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 by $50,000.
Selling, General and Administrative expenses expressed as a percentage of net sales can be influenced by many factors including overall sales performance. For nine months ended September 30, 2020 , selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased 12% to 32.1% in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from the 21.6% in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The company incurred an increase in professional fees and bad debt expense of $50,000 in 2020 and generated significantly less revenues from the impact of COVID-19.
We recorded net loss of $1,209,698 in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to net income of $2,145,049 in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The significant net loss in 2020 was from a decline in revenues and margins due to the impact of COVID-19, an increase in stock-based compensation, an increase in bad debt expense, and an increase in professional fees. In addition, the company reported a gain on legal settlement in the amount of $1,520,398 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies
The following discussion relates to critical accounting policies for our company. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operation. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements:
28
Revenue and Cost Recognition. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted accounting standard ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all the related amendments using the modified retrospective method for all customer contracts not yet completed as of the adoption date. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have a significant impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company recognizes revenue when the performance obligations in the client contract has been achieved. A performance obligation is a contractual promise to transfer a distinct service to the customer. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as, the customer receives the benefit of the performance obligation. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised services in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those services. To achieve this core principal, the Company applies the following five steps:
1) Identify the contract with a customer. A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the customer’s historical payment experience or, in the case of a new customer, published credit and financial information pertaining to the customer.
2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract. Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised services, the Company must apply judgment to determine whether promised services are capable of being distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met the promised services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation. The Company promises to design, manufacture and sell custom mirrors through contractual arrangements. It was determined that most services within a contract are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer over the term of the agreement and are therefore highly interdependent upon each other. As such, the Company determined that the services within a contract are not separately identifiable in the context of the contract and should therefore be bundled into a single performance obligation.
3) Determine the transaction price. The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring services to the customer. We evaluate whether a significant financing component exists when we recognize revenue in advance of customer payments that occur over time. We do not adjust the transaction price for the effects of financing if, at contract inception, the period between the transfer of control to a customer and final payment is expected to be one year or less. The Company establishes pricing for contracts with customers based on a fixed price for a fixed fee. Contracts do not provide for a discount or refund to customers and historically, no discounts or refunds have been given.
29
4) Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract. If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. However, if a series of distinct services that are substantially the same qualifies as a single performance obligation in a contract with variable consideration, the Company must determine if the variable consideration is attributable to the entire contract or to a specific part of the contract. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price based on management’s judgment. The identified promises are considered to be bundled in arriving at the overall promise within the contract. This promise therefore results in one performance obligation, to design, manufacture and sell custom mirrors to our customer, therefore, allocation of the transaction price is not necessary.
5) Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation. Revenue is comprised of projects that are completed within our own facility or from a third-party vendor (Direct Sales). For projects that are completed within our own facility, the Company satisfies performance obligations at over time. For projects that are completed from a third-party vendor, the performance obligation is recognized at a point in time.
For projects that are completed within our own facility, we design, manufacture and sell custom mirrors for hotels and hospitals through contractual agreements. These sales require us to deliver our products within three to six months from commencement of order acceptance. We recognize revenue over time by using the input method based on costs incurred as it depicts our progress toward satisfaction of the performance obligation. Under this method, revenue arising from fixed price contracts is recognized as work is performed based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligations. Incurred costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs and depreciation costs. Contract material costs are included in incurred costs when the project materials have been purchased or moved to work in process as required by the project’s engineering design. Cost based input methods of revenue recognition require us to make estimates of costs to complete the projects. In making such estimates, significant judgment is required to evaluate assumptions related to the costs to complete the projects, including materials, labor and other system costs. If the estimated total costs on any contract are greater than the net contract revenues, we recognize the entire estimated loss in the period the loss becomes known and can be reasonably estimated. Deferred Revenue represents amounts billed in excess of revenues and profits recognized. Revenues and profits recognized in excess of amounts billed typically does not occur as we will not perform any work in excess of the amount we bill to our customers.
30
Each product or service delivered to a third-party customer that is manufactured by a third-party vendor is considered to satisfy a performance obligation. Performance obligations generally occur at a point in time and are satisfied when control of the goods passes to the customer. These sales are shipped from the manufacturer to the customer without our taking physical inventory possession. We report direct sales on a gross basis, that is, the amounts billed to our customers are recorded as “Sales,” and inventory purchased from manufacturers are recorded as Cost of Sales. We are the principal of direct sales because we control the inventory before it is transferred to our customers. Our control is evidenced by us being primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to our customers, taking on inventory risk of returned product, and having discretion in establishing pricing. We typically pay our vendors a portion of the total cost up front and the remaining balance is accrued for and paid within 30-90 days of when the products are shipped from the third-party warehouse. Vendor payments are capitalized until completion of the project and are recorded as vendor deposits.
Accounts Receivable. Accounts receivables are non-collateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms generally requiring payment within 30-90 days from the invoice date. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable is reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts that reflects management’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. The Company includes any accounts receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectible, along with a general reserve, in its overall allowance for doubtful accounts. Management reviews accounts receivable on a monthly basis to determine if any receivables will be potentially uncollectible. Historical bad debts and current economic trends are used in evaluating the allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. Based on the information available, the Company believes an allowance for doubtful accounts of $100,000 and $50,000 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively is adequate.
Inventory. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out method. Inventory is comprised of raw materials that are purchased on the initial start date of a specific project and are capitalized using the percentage of completion method of accounting. We amortize these costs to the associated contract proportion with our percentage of completion on the contract, calculated using a cost-based input method. Capitalized costs are considered impaired when the net contract cost asset plus future costs to complete the contract are less than the remaining revenue to be recognized under the contract. When capitalized costs are impaired, we record a charge to the impairment, impairment charges cannot be reversed. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 no impairment charges were recorded and management has determined that an excess and obsolete reserve is not required.
Property and Equipment. Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation of furniture and fixtures is provided using the straight-line method, generally over the terms of the lease. Repairs and maintenance expenditures, which do not extend the useful lives of the related assets, are expensed as incurred. Depreciation of machinery and equipment is based on the estimated useful lives of the assets. Machinery and equipment have an estimated useful life of the lesser of term of lease or useful life. Furnitures and fixtures are based the estimated useful life of 7 years.
An asset is disposed of or retired when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from continued use of the asset. The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an asset is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset.
31
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company records the fair value of assets and liabilities in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurement. FASB ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. the three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC 820 are as follows:
- Level 1 - Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
- Level 2 - Valuations based generally on observable inputs for similar assets and liabilities, or identical or similar assets and liabilities in inactive markets.
- Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Valuation techniques could include the use of discounted cash flow models and other similar techniques
The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of capital lease obligations approximates their carrying value because these financial instruments bear interest at rates that approximate current market rates for loans with similar maturities and credit quality.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted. In February 2016, FASB, issued in Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize right-of-use, or ROU, assets and related lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases greater than one year in duration. We adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach did not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. The adoption of this standard resulted in the recording of ROU assets and lease liabilities for all our lease agreements with original terms of greater than one year. The adoption of ASC 842 did not have a significant impact on our statements of income or cash flows.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions by expanding the scope of ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. Under the new standard, most of the guidance on stock compensation payments to nonemployees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. This standard became effective for our company on January 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which removes, modifies and adds various disclosure requirements related to fair value disclosures. Disclosures related to transfers between fair value hierarchy levels will be removed and further detail around changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period and unobservable inputs used in determining level 3 fair value measurements will be added, among other changes. ASU 2018-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
32
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology for financial assets with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. The new credit losses model must be applied to loans, accounts receivable, and other financial assets. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
We currently believe that all other issued and not yet effective accounting standards are not relevant to our financial statements.

Effects of Coronavirus Outbreak. In December 2019, a novel strain of Coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. The virus has since spread to over 150 countries and every state in the United States. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern.” On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency.
Most states and cities have reacted by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel, “stay at home” and “social distancing” rules and restrictions on the types of businesses that may continue to operate, as well as guidance in response to the pandemic and the need to contain it. On March 20, 2020, the Governor of New York announced a stay at home order to go into effect on March 22, 2020 that has been extended to at least June 6, 2020, unless regions in the state can meet certain criteria related to the Coronavirus. Pursuant to this order, non-essential businesses were forced to close. However, as of the date of this prospectus, our Mount Vernon office is open with most of our employees working from home.
We have taken steps to take care of our employees, including providing the ability for employees to work remotely and implementing strategies to support appropriate social distancing techniques for those employees who are not able to work remotely. We have also taken precautions with regard to employee, facility and office hygiene as well as implementing significant travel restrictions. We are also assessing our business continuity plans for all business units in the context of the pandemic. This is a rapidly evolving situation, and we will continue to monitor and mitigate developments affecting our workforce, our suppliers, our customers, and the public at large to the extent we are able to do so. We have and will continue to carefully review all rules, regulations, and orders and responding accordingly.
We are dependent upon suppliers to provide us with all of the raw materials for products that we manufacture and sell and we are currently dependent on out-sourced manufactures in China to manufacture the SteriLumen Disinfecting System. The pandemic has impacted and may continue to impact suppliers of materials for and manufacturers of certain of our products. As a result, we have faced and may continue to face delays or difficulty manufacturing certain products, which could negatively affect our business and financial results. Even if we are able to find alternate sources for materials and manufacturing, they may cost more, which could adversely impact our profitability and financial condition.
If the current pace of the pandemic cannot be slowed and the spread of the virus is not contained, our business operations could be further delayed or interrupted. We expect that government and health authorities may announce new or extend existing restrictions, which could require us to make further adjustments to our operations in order to comply with any such restrictions. We may also experience limitations in employee resources. In addition, our operations could be disrupted if any of our employees were suspected of having the virus, which could require quarantine of some or all such employees or closure of our facilities for disinfection. The duration of any business disruption cannot be reasonably estimated at this time but may materially affect our ability to operate our business and result in additional costs.
Although it is difficult to predict the effect and ultimate impact of the Coronavirus outbreak on our business, it is likely that the impact of Coronavirus will adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows in fiscal year 2020. See “Risk Factors—Our Business and Operations—Effect of the Coronavirus pandemic.”
Applied UV, Inc. 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan. On May 4, 2020, we adopted the Plan. Under the Plan, the Company may grant nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, and other awards. Awards of up to 600,000 shares of common stock to Company employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors are available under the Plan. The type of grant, vesting provisions, exercise price and expiration dates are to be established by the Board at the date of grant.
34
Board Options. On February 18, 2020, the Board approved the grant to each member of the Board, on a quarterly basis, of options to purchase 500 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to the greater of $2.50 and the market value per share of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. Market value will be determined by an independent valuation company engaged by the Company; provided, however if on the date of grant the Company common stock is listed on a national exchange or quoted on an established quotation system, then market value shall equal the closing price of the Company common stock listed on such exchange or quoted on such quotation system on the trading day immediately prior to the date of the grant. On April 1, 2020, we issued options to purchase 2,000 shares of Company common stock to the Board, of which 1,250 have been cancelled. The options are subject to equal quarterly vesting over a one-year period. On July 1, 2020 we issued an additional 1,000 options to certain Board members. To date 375 of these options have vested. On July 9, 2020, the Board cancelled any further issuance of these quarterly option grants.
Mount Sinai Agreement. On April 20, 2020, SteriLumen entered into the Mount Sinai Agreement pursuant to which Mount Sinai has agreed to conduct a study of the effectiveness of the SteriLumen Disinfecting System in 17 patient bathrooms at Mount Sinai St. Luke’s Hospital in New York, NY. SteriLumen will be responsible for funding the direct and indirect costs of Mount Sinai’s research in the amount of $160,000 plus all of the cost of microbiological testing. To the extent any intellectual property resulting from the research is conceived by Mount Sinai it will be the intellectual property of Mount Sinai and to the extent it is conceived by SteriLumen it will be the intellectual property of SteriLumen. SteriLumen has a 60-day exclusive option to negotiate a license for Mount Sinai’s resulting patent rights if such patent was obtained at SteriLumen’s request and SteriLumen has paid for all the costs in obtaining the patent. If the results of the study contained in Mount Sinai’s final report are used by SteriLumen in a successful regulatory filing or a successful fundraising effort, the Sponsor will be obligated to pay Mount Sinai a fee of $30,000.
Second ResInnova Report. In April 2020, the Company submitted the SteriLumen Disinfecting System to ResInnova for testing on its effectiveness in killing the Coronavirus. ResInnova tested the SteriLumen mirror and drain product lines against OC43. In a Report dated June 30, 2020, ResInnova found the SteriLumen mirror and drain to be greater than 97% and 99.99%, respectively, effective in killing the OC43 human coronavirus in the bathroom sink area. According to ResInnova, it is expected that the Coronavirus will be killed in a similar manner to OC43 since they both are in the Beta genre of coronaviruses. See “Business—Second ResInnova Report” and “Risk Factors—Certain ResInnova Testing Limitations.”
Paycheck Protection Program Loan. On May 4, 2020, Munn Works received $296,287 in net proceeds from a PPP Loan from JP Morgan Chase Bank under the PPP, which was established under the CARES Act and administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The proceeds from the PPP Loan will be used in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act program, as described further below.
The term of the PPP Loan is two years with an interest rate of 1.00% per annum, which shall be deferred for the first six months of the term of the loan. Pursuant to the terms of the CARES Act, the proceeds of the PPP Loan may be used for payroll costs, mortgage interest, rent or utility costs for up to an 8-week period after loan origination. Under the terms of the CARES Act, Munn Works can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of the PPP Loan. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act, as described above, during the 8-week period after loan origination and the maintenance or achievement of certain employee levels. No assurance is provided that Munn Works will obtain forgiveness under the PPP Loan in whole or in part.
35
Reverse Stock Splits. On June 17, 2020 and June 23, 2020, the Company effected a 1 for 5 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding Common Stock and effected a 1 for 5 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding preferred stock, respectively (each a “Reverse Stock Split”) by filing on each date an amendment of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. No fractional shares were issued as a result of a Reverse Stock Split. Any fractional shares that would have resulted from a Reverse Stock Split were rounded up to the nearest whole share. The authorized common stock and preferred stock of the Company was not impacted by the Reverse Stock Splits. Immediately following the Reverse Stock Splits, the Company had outstanding 5,103,319 shares of Common Stock and 2,000 shares of preferred stock. The Company has retrospectively adjusted the 2018, 2019 financial statements for profit per share and share amounts as a result of the reverse stock splits.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
36
The Company maintains “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in “Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective at September 30, 2020 because of the material weaknesses described below.
There is inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives. Our Company’s management is comprised of a very small number of individuals resulting in a situation where limitations of segregation of duties exist. In order to remedy this situation, we would need to hire additional staff to provide greater segregation of duties. In addition, management has concluded that there are ineffective monitoring controls related to the financial close and reporting process, including management’s risk assessment process and its identification, evaluation, and timely remediation of control deficiencies.
None.
The Company is a smaller reporting company and therefore not required to provide the information required by this item.
