CAVITATION TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
As of and for the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019
Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Cavitation Technologies, Inc. (referred to herein, unless otherwise indicated, as "the Company," "CTi," "we," "us," and "our") is a Nevada corporation originally incorporated under the name Bio Energy, Inc. CTi has developed, patented, and commercialized proprietary technology that may be used in liquid processing applications.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") as promulgated in the United States of America ("U.S.") and with instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, we have included all adjustments considered necessary (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) for a fair presentation. Operating results for the six months ended December 31, 2020 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021. You should read these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020 filed on October 13, 2020. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2020 has been derived from the audited financial statements included in the Form 10-K for that year.
Going Concern
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. During the six months ended December 31, 2020, the Company incurred a loss of $130,000 and at December 31, 2020, the Company had a stockholders’ deficit of $620,000 and a working capital deficit of $613,000. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm, in their report on our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
As of December, 31 2020 we had cash and cash equivalents on hand of $892,000 and are not generating sufficient funds to cover operations. In addition to the cash on hand, management believes we may require additional funds to continue to operate our business. Management's plan is to generate income from operations by continuing to license our technology globally through our strategic partners, including the extension or renewal of our existing global R and D, Marketing and Technology License Agreement with Desmet Ballestra Group (Desmet), agreement with Alchemy Beverages, Inc (ABI), and agreement with Enviro Watertek, LLC (EWT).
We may also attempt to raise additional debt and/or equity financing to fund operations and provide additional working capital. However, there is no assurance that such financing will be consummated or obtained in sufficient amounts necessary to meet the Company's needs, that the Company will be able to achieve profitable operations or that the Company will be able to meet its future contractual obligations. Should management fail to obtain such financing, the Company may curtail its operations.

Covid-19
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, has adversely affected workforces, customers, economies, and financial markets globally. It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses. This outbreak could decrease spending, adversely affect demand for the Company’s products, and harm the Company’s business and results of operations. During the six months ended December 31, 2020, the Company believes the COVID-19 pandemic did not materially impact its operating results due to the nature of the Company’s business and its operations. The Company has not observed any impairments of its assets or a significant change in the fair value of its assets due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At this time, it is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s business or results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity.
As of December 31, 2020, the Company has been following the recommendations of local health authorities to minimize exposure risk for its employees, including the temporary closure of its corporate office and having employees work remotely. Most vendors have transitioned to electronic submission of invoices and payments.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cavitation Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Hydrodynamic Technology, Inc. Inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the financial statement date, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates are used in allowance for bad debts, reserve for inventory obsolescence, impairment analysis for fixed assets, accrual of potential liabilities, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, and assumptions used in valuing our stock options, warrants, and common stock issued for services, among other items. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company follows the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contracts, which includes (1) identifying the contracts or agreements with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the services it transfers to its clients.
Revenue from sale of our Nano Reactors is recognized when products are shipped from our manufacturing facilities as this is our sole performance obligation under these contracts and we have no continuing obligation to the customer.
The Company also recognizes revenue from its share of gross profit to be earned from distributors, as defined, which we treat as variable consideration and recognize using the most likely amount method. Estimates are available from our distributor which are considered in the determination of the most likely amount. However, given the lack of control over the sale to the end customer and the lack of history of prior sales, the amount of gross profit revenue recognized is limited to the actual amount of cash received under the contract which the Company has determined is not refundable and that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur.
In addition, the Company also recognizes revenues from usage fees of certain reactors. Usage fees are recognized based on actual usage by the customer.
8 |
Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the estimated future tax effects, calculated at anticipated future tax rates, of future deductible or taxable amounts attributable to events that have been recognized on a cumulative basis in the financial statements. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws and rates of the date of enactment.
The Company recorded no provision for income taxes during the three and six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 due to available Federal net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of approximately $9 million that are available to reduce taxable income.
Earnings Per Share
The Company’s computation of earnings per share (EPS) includes basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Shares of restricted stock subject to vesting are included in basic weighted average common shares outstanding from the time they vest. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the net income of the Company. In computing diluted EPS, the treasury stock method assumes that outstanding options and warrants are exercised, and the proceeds are used to purchase common stock at the average market price and there were no instruments that would result in issuance of additional shares during the period.
As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had 11,000,000 stock options and 87,696,511 stock warrants outstanding (and out of the money) to purchase shares of common stock that were not included in the diluted net loss per common share because their effect would be anti-dilutive.
Concentrations
Cash - cash is deposited in one financial institution. The balances held at this financial institution at times may be in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits of up to $250,000.
Accounts Receivable – accounts receivable at December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, were all due from Desmet.
Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses – three vendors accounted 54%,11% and 10% of accounts payable and accrued expenses as of December 31, 2020. Two vendors accounted 64% and 14% of accounts payable and accrued expenses as of June 30, 2020 .
Revenues – revenues during the three and six months period ended December 31, 2020, were all from Desmet (see Note 2). Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2019 were all derived from EWT. During the six months ended December 31, 2019, 94% of recorded revenues, were derived from Desmet.
Fair Value Measurement
FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820-10 requires entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized on the balance sheet for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. ASC 820-10 defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.
9 |
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
· | Level 1 - Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access. |
· | Level 2 - Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. |
· | Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable, supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
At December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature.
Segments
The Company operates in one segment, its nano reactor technology business. In accordance with the “Segment Reporting” Topic of the ASC, the Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer and President, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. Existing guidance, which is based on a management approach to segment reporting, establishes requirements to report selected segment information quarterly and to report annually entity-wide disclosures about products and services, major customers, and the countries in which the entity holds material assets and reports revenue. All material operating units qualify for aggregation under “Segment Reporting” due to their similar customer base and similarities in: economic characteristics; nature of products and services; and procurement, manufacturing and distribution processes. Since the Company operates in one segment, all financial information required by “Segment Reporting” can be found in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”). ASU 2016-13 requires entities to use a forward-looking approach based on current expected credit losses (“CECL”) to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. This may result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe the potential impact of the new guidance and related codification improvements will be material to its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.
Note 2 – Contracts with Customers
Desmet Ballestra Agreement
In October 2018, we signed a three-year global R and D, Marketing and Technology License Agreement with Desmet Ballestra Group NV (Desmet) for the sale and licensing of our reactors. This agreement is a continuation of an original agreement we signed with Desmet in 2012, and amended in 2016. As part of the October 2018 agreement, Desmet agreed to provide us monthly advances of $50,000 through October 1, 2022 to be applied against gross profit share from future sales.
10 |
The Company recognizes revenue from sale of reactors upon shipment and acceptance by Desmet, as the Company has no further obligations to Desmet other than the reactor’s two-year standard warranty. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company recognizes the revenue from the sale of reactors at the time of shipment of the Nano reactor hardware as such shipment is deemed to be the Company’s only performance obligation and the Company has no more continuing obligation. Desmet pays for such reactors on credit terms and the amount of the sale is recorded as a receivable upon acceptance by Desmet.
The Company also receives a share in gross profit, as defined, from the sale of Desmet’s integrated neutralization system to its customers of which the reactors are an integral component. Such amount is subject to adjustment based on certain factors including cost overruns. The Company has no control with regards to the sale and installation of Nano Reactor® and CTi Nano Neutralization® System, between Desmet and the end customer. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company has determined that the gross profit to be earned from Desmet is variable consideration, and evaluates the amount of the potential payments and the likelihood that the payments will be received using the most likely amount approach (subject to the variable consideration constraint). Estimates are available from our distributor which are considered in the determination of the most likely amount. However, given the lack of control over the sale to the end customer and the lack of history of prior sales, the Company considered these as variable revenue constraints, and as such, the amount of gross profit share revenue recognized is limited to the actual amount of cash received under the contract which the Company has determined is not refundable and probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur. Further, the Company has not been able to develop an expectation of the actual collection based on its historical experience.
During the three months ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded sales of $36,000 from Nano Reactor® sales and $36,000 from gross profit share for a total revenue of $72,000 from Desmet. There were no revenues recognized from Desmet for the three months ended December 31, 2019.
During the six months ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded sales of $276,000 from Nano Reactor® sales and $213,000 from gross profit share for a total revenue of $489,000 from Desmet.

Enviro Watertek, LLC Agreement
In April 2019, we entered into a licensing and service contract agreement with Enviro Watertek, LLC (“EWT”). This agreement covers our industrial treatment of produced and frack water. Our agreement with EWT provides for sales of Nano Reactors® plus recurring revenue stream based on processing frack water volumes and utilization over a 15 year term but can be terminated by either party every anniversary.
There was no sale of reactors or usage fees earned during the three and six months ended December 31, 2020. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded revenues of $25,000 from the usage of reactors previously sold to EWT in fiscal 2020.
Note 3 – Operating Lease
The Company leases certain warehouse and corporate office space under operating lease agreement. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Lease assets are presented as operating lease right-of-use assets and the related liabilities are presented as lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.
11 |
Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Generally, the implicit rate of interest in lease arrangements is not readily determinable and the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is a hypothetical rate based on its understanding of what its credit rating would be. The operating lease ROU asset includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives.
The components of lease expense and supplemental cash flow information related to leases for the period are as follows:

Total | $ | 254,000 | $ | 104,000 |
A. | On April 16, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds in the amount of $104,000 pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “Cares Act”), which was enacted on March 27, 2020. The note is scheduled to mature in April 2022 and has a 1% interest rate and is subject to the terms and conditions applicable to loans administered by the Small Business Administration (SBA) under the CARES Act. The Company applied ASC 470, Debt, to account for the PPP loan. The loan and accrued interest are forgivable as long as the Company uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and maintains its payroll levels. Forgiveness of the note is only available for principal that is used for the limited purposes that qualify for forgiveness under SBA requirements, and that to obtain forgiveness, the Company must request it and must provide documentation in accordance with the SBA requirements, and certify that the amounts the Company is requesting to be forgiven qualify under those requirements. The Company also understands that it shall remain responsible under the note for any amounts not forgiven, and that interest payable under the note will not be forgiven but that the SBA may pay the loan interest on forgiven amounts. | |
As of December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, the outstanding balance of the note payable amounted to $104,000. The Company is currently in the process of applying for forgiveness of the entire PPP loan with respect to these qualifying expenses, however, the Company cannot assure that such forgiveness of any portion of the PPP loan will occur. As for the potential loan forgiveness, once the PPP loan is, in part or wholly, forgiven and a legal release is received, the liability would be reduced by the amount forgiven and a gain on extinguishment would be recorded. |
B. | In July 2020, the Company received a loan of $150,000 from the Small Business Association under its Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) assistance program. The EIDL loan is payable over 30 years, bears interest at a rate of 3.75% per annum and secured by all tangible and intangible property of the Company. As of December 31, 2020, the outstanding balance of the note payable amounted to $150,000. |

Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies
Royalty Agreements
On July 1, 2008, our wholly owned subsidiary entered into Patent Assignment Agreements with two parties, our President and Technology Development Supervisor, where certain devices and methods involved in the hydrodynamic cavitation processes invented by the President and the Technology Development Supervisor have been assigned to the Subsidiary. In exchange, the Subsidiary agreed to pay a royalty of 5% of gross revenues to each of the President and Technology Development Supervisor for licensing of the technology and leasing of the related equipment embodying the technology. These agreements were subsequently assumed by Cavitation Technologies on May 13, 2010 from its subsidiary. The Company's President and Global Technology Manager both waived their rights to receive royalty payments that have accrued, or that may accrue, on any gross revenue generated through December 31, 2020 and in the foreseeable future.
On April 30, 2008 and as amended on November 22, 2010, our wholly owned subsidiary entered into an employment agreement with our former Director of Chemical and Analytical Department (the "Inventor") to receive an amount equal to 5% of actual gross royalties received from the royalty stream in the first year in which the Company receives royalty payments from the patent which the Inventor was the legally named inventor, and 3% of actual gross royalties received by the Company resulting from the patent in each subsequent year. As of December 31, 2020, no patents have been granted in which this person is the legally named inventor.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as its plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Its actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
Overview of our Business
Cavitation Technologies, Inc. ("CTi"), a Nevada corporation, was originally incorporated under the name Bio Energy, Inc. We design and engineer environmentally friendly technology-based systems that are designed to serve large, growing, global markets such as vegetable oil refining, renewable fuels, water treatment, algae oil extraction, biodiesel production, water-oil emulsions and crude oil yield enhancement. Our systems are designed to process industrial liquids at a lower cost and higher yield than conventional technology. We are a process and product development firm that has developed, patented, and commercialized proprietary technology.
CTi has developed, patented, and commercialized proprietary technology that can be used for processing of industrial fluids. CTi's patented Nano Reactor® is the critical components of the CTi Nano Neutralization® System which is commercially proven to reduce operating costs and increase yields in processing oils and fats. CTi has two issued patents relating to our Nano Reactor® systems and has filed several national and international patents to employ its proprietary technology in applications including, vegetable oil refining, biodiesel production, waste water treatment, algae oil extraction, and alcoholic beverage enhancement.
We are engaged in manufacturing our Nano-Reactors, which are designed to help refine vegetable oils, biodiesel transesterification and treatment of produced and frack water. Our near-term goal is to continue to sell our systems through our partners, Desmet Ballestra, EWT.
During the past several years we have developed a number of new applications utilizing the core principal of our technology. Our low pressure non-reactors (LPN) can be utilized in multiple industries that process large volumes of fluids and we anticipate accelerated commercial sales in our fiscal 2021. Further, we have miniaturized our non-reactors to be utilized in various consumer oriented products, such as, processing and enhancing spirits and wines, drinking water with infusion of vitamins, minerals and cannabidiol (CBD) oil.
We have agreements to license our technology globally through our strategic partners, Desmet Ballestra Group (Desmet) and Enviro Watertek, LLC (EWT) and Alchemy Beverages, Inc (ABI). Desmet have been providing monthly advances of $50,000. We may need additional funding, and may attempt to raise additional debt and/or equity financing to fund operations and additional working capital. However, there is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining such financing or obtained sufficient amounts necessary to meet our business needs, or that we will be able to meet our future contractual obligations.
In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, has adversely affected workforces, customers, economies, and financial markets globally. It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including ours. This outbreak could decrease spending, adversely affect demand for our product and harm our business and results of operations. It is not possible for us to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on our business or results of operations at this time.

Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2020 amounted to $604000 compared with $880,000 for the same period in 2019, a decrease of $276,000 or 31%. The decrease was mainly due to decrease in stock compensation expense of approximately $194,000 and payroll of $52,000.
Research and development (R&D) expenses remained low and it is our intention to pursue R&D as our cash position permits.
Liquidity and Capital Resource
During the six months ended December 31, 2020 the Company incurred a net loss of $130,000, had a working capital deficiency of $613,000 and a stockholders' deficit of $620,000 as of December 31, 2020. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the financial statements are issued. In addition, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s June 30, 2020 financial statements, has expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
As of December 31, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents on hand of $892,000 and are not generating sufficient revenues to fund operations. In addition, management believes we may require additional funds to continue to operate our business. Management's plan is to generate income from operations by continuing to license our technology globally through our strategic partners, Desmet Ballestra Group (Desmet), Enviro Watertek (EWT), and Alchemy Beverages, Inc. (ABI). Desmet has been providing us monthly advances of $50,000 and will continue through October 1, 2022 to be applied against gross profit share from future sales.
We may also attempt to raise additional debt and/or equity financing to fund operations and provide additional working capital. However, there is no assurance that such financing will be consummated or obtained in sufficient amounts necessary to meet the Company's needs, that the Company will be able to achieve profitable operations or that the Company will be able to meet its future contractual obligations. Should management fail to obtain such financing, the Company may curtail its operations.
Cash Flow
Net cash generated from operating activities during the six months ended December 31, 2020 amounted to $108,000 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $88,000 for the same period in fiscal 2020.
Critical Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates are used for allowance for doubtful accounts, reserve for inventory obsolescence, impairment analysis for property and equipment, accrual of potential liabilities, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, and assumption in valuing our stock options, warrants, and common stock issued for services, among other items. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
19 |
Revenue Recognition
The Company follows the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contracts, which includes (1) identifying the contracts or agreements with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the services it transfers to its clients.
Revenue from sale of our Nano Reactors is recognized when products are shipped from our manufacturing facilities as this is our sole performance obligation under these contracts and we have no continuing obligation to the customer.
The Company also recognizes revenue from its share of gross profit to be earned from distributors, as defined, which we treat as variable consideration and recognize using the most likely amount method. Estimates are available from our distributor which are considered in the determination of the most likely amount. However, given the lack of control over the sale to the end customer and the lack of history of prior sales, the amount of gross profit revenue recognized is limited to the actual amount of cash received under the contract which the Company has determined is not refundable and that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur.
In addition, the Company also recognizes revenues from usage fees of certain reactors. Usage fees are recognized based on actual usage by the customer.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Not applicable for smaller reporting companies.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In accordance with rule 13a-15(a), CTi management must maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and 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.
In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) and (c), management must also evaluate the effectiveness of these disclosure control and procedures at the end of each fiscal year. As of December 31, 2020, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2020.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of fiscal 2021 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the company's internal control over financial reporting.
