CIRTRAN CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2021
NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
In 1987, CirTran Corporation was incorporated in Nevada under the name Vermillion Ventures, Inc., for the purpose of acquiring other operating corporate entities. We were largely inactive until July 1, 2000, when our wholly owned subsidiary, CirTran Corporation (Utah), acquired substantially all the assets and certain liabilities of Circuit Technology, Inc., founded by our president, Iehab Hawatmeh.
We, together with our majority-owned subsidiaries, manufacture, distribute, and sell condoms, electronic tobacco products, cigars, energy drinks, water beverages, and related merchandise, all using the HUSTLER® brand name. Since entering our 2019 five-year manufacturing and distribution agreement with an unrelated party, our efforts have been devoted to phase one of our development of all HUSTLER®-branded products, which led us to generating revenue during 2020 for the first time in several years.
NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
These unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These financial statements and the notes attached hereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. In the opinion of our management, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position, as of September 30, 2021, and the results of our operations and cash flows for the nine months then ended have been included. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year ending December 31, 2021.
Principles of Consolidation
We consolidate our majority-owned subsidiaries, companies over which we exercise control through majority voting rights, and companies in which we have a variable interest and we are the primary beneficiary. We account for our investments in common stock of other companies that we do not control, but over which we can exert significant influence, using the cost method.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, include the accounts of CirTran Corporation and our wholly owned subsidiaries: CirTran Products Corp., LBC Products, Inc., and CirTran-Asia, Inc. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
In preparing the financial statements in accordance with US GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
We follow Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, for revenue recognition. Adoption of ASC 606 did not have a significant impact on our financial statements. We generate revenue by providing product design services and through the sales of tangible product. We recognize revenue upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those products or services. We determine the transaction price associated with each deliverable based on the unique contract with the customer, which is a stand-alone contract that we retain the right to accept or reject. Revenue is recognized net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.
7
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized revenue of $0 and $30,000, respectively, related to the performance obligations under product development service agreements with customers. These contracts are long term in nature and revenue is recognized at certain milestone intervals upon our delivery and customer acceptance of work product related to those milestones: namely, product design, packaging, branding display, and prototypes. There were no costs to obtain the contracts identified, and therefore, no asset has been recorded for customer acquisition costs. Additionally, we have not recognized impairment losses related to the receivables from these contracts during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Additionally, we recognized revenues of $961,074 and $2,281,529 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, related to the delivery of product to our customers. Each delivery is based on a unique customer purchase order, which is a stand-alone contract that we retain the right to accept or reject. Upon acceptance, we oblige delivery of such product to the customer at an agreed-upon place, time, and price. We recognize revenue under the unique purchase order contract upon fulfillment of our performance obligations therein, typically limited to the delivery of product.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which superseded guidance in ASC 840, Leases, which we adopted for the year ended December 31, 2019, under the modified retrospective transition approach by applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. We account for short-term leases, those lasting fewer than 12 months, using the practical expedient as outlined in the guidance, which does not include recording such leases on the balance sheet.
The adoption of the standard resulted in recording right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities of $29,185 as of September 30, 2021. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As the lease does not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain we will exercise that option. Although considered, we determined it was appropriate to exclude future renewal terms from the capitalization of our operating lease.
We have one lease in effect requiring minimum monthly payments of $2,500 through October 2022. We have determined the appropriate discount rate to be 5% based on our other borrowings secured by assets. A summary of future payments due under the terms of the lease as of September 30, 2021, is as follows:
Total future payments | $ | 30,000 | ||
Implied interest | (815 | ) | ||
Operating lease liability as of September 30, 2021 | $ | 29,185 |
Investment in Securities
Our cost-method investment consists of an investment in a private digital multi-media technology company that totaled $300,000 at September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020. Because we owned less than 20% of that company’s stock as of each date, and no significant influence or control exists, the investment is accounted for using the cost method. We evaluated the investment for impairment and determined there was none during the periods presented.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We review our long-lived assets, including intangibles, for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. At each balance sheet date, we evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. We use an estimate of future undiscounted net cash flows from the related asset or group of assets over their remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. We did not record expenses for the impairment of long-lived assets during the periods ended September 30, 2021 or 2020.
8
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or net realizable value. Cost on manufactured inventories includes labor, material, and overhead. Overhead cost is based on indirect costs allocated to cost of sales, work-in-process inventory, and finished goods inventory. Indirect overhead costs have been charged to cost of sales or capitalized as inventory, based on management’s estimate of the benefit of indirect manufacturing costs to the manufacturing process.
When there is evidence that the inventory’s value is less than original cost, the inventory is reduced to market value. We determine market value on current resale amounts and whether technological obsolescence exists. We will seek agreements with manufacturing customers that require them to purchase their inventory items in the event they cancel their business with us.
From time to time, we will place deposits on inventory to be delivered in the future. These deposits are carried as a separate balance sheet component and totaled $10,889(non-related-party) and $228,730 (related-party) as of September 30, 2021, and $53,900 (non-related-party) and $319,333 (related-party) as of December 31, 2020.
Inventory balances consisted of the following:
September 30, 2021 | December 31, 2020 | |||||||
Finished goods | $ | 703,034 | $ | 526,372 | ||||
Raw materials | 33,679 | 40,803 | ||||||
Reserve for obsolescence | (241,923 | ) | (241,923 | ) | ||||
Total | $ | 494,790 | $ | 325,252 |
We have outstanding stock options to directors and employees, which are described more fully in Note 12–Stock Options and Warrants. We account for our stock options in accordance with ASC 718-10, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and ASU 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, as updated, which requires the recognition of the cost of employee services received in exchanged for an award of equity instruments in the financial statements and is measured based on the grant date fair value of the award. ASC 718-10 also requires the stock option compensation expense to be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (typically the vesting period). There was no impact to our methodology for accounting for equity-based compensation as a result of adopting ASC 718-10 and ASU 2018-07.
Stock-based employee compensation was $ and $ for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 820-10-15, Fair Value Measurement-Overall-Scope and Scope Exceptions, defines fair value, thereby eliminating inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements, and increases disclosures surrounding fair value calculations. ASC 820-10-15 establishes a three-tiered fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used in fair value calculations. The three levels of inputs are defined as follows:
Level 1—Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3—Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
9
Accounts payable and related-party payables have fair values that approximate the carrying value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Derivative liabilities are measured using level 3 inputs.

Basic loss per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS is similarly calculated, except that the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding would include common shares that may be issued subject to existing rights with dilutive potential when applicable. There were potentially issuable shares from the conversions of convertible debentures outstanding that were excluded in dilutive outstanding shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, due to the anti-dilutive effect these would have on net loss per share. There were such shares issuable as of September 30, 2020. We do not currently have adequate authorized but unissued shares to satisfy our obligations should all instruments eligible to convert to common stock be exercised. We are not currently contemplating an increase in our authorized shares but may do so in the future.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We have implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on our financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and we do not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 3—GOING CONCERN
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with US GAAP, which contemplate our continuation as a going concern. We had a working capital deficiency of $37,840,853 as of September 30, 2021, and a net loss from continuing operations of $767,404 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. As of September 30, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of $78,811,860. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to successfully accomplish our business plan described in the following paragraphs and eventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
In the coming year, our foreseeable cash requirements will relate to development of business operations and associated expenses. We may experience a cash shortfall and be required to raise additional capital.
Historically, we have mainly relied upon shareholder loans and advances to finance operations and growth. Management may raise additional capital by retaining net earnings, if any, or through future public or private offerings of our stock or loans from private investors, although we cannot assure that we will be able to obtain such financing. Our failure to do so could have a material and adverse effect upon our shareholders and us.

NOTE 4—PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
We incur certain costs associated with the design and development of molds and dies for our contract-manufacturing segment. These costs are held as deposits on the balance sheet until the molds or dies are finished and ready for use. At that point, the costs are included as part of production equipment in property and equipment and are amortized over their useful lives. We hold title to all molds and dies used in the manufacture of products.
Depreciation expense is recognized in amounts equal to the cost of depreciable assets over estimated service lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of the lease or the service life of the improvements. The straight-line method of depreciation and amortization is followed for financial reporting purposes. Maintenance, repairs, and renewals that neither materially add to the value of the property nor appreciably prolong its life are charged to expense as incurred. Gains or losses on dispositions of property and equipment are included in operating results.
Property and equipment and estimated service lives consist of the following:
September 30, 2021 | December 31, 2020 | Useful Life (years) | ||||||||
Furniture and office equipment | $ | 1,624 | $ | 5-10 | ||||||
Vehicles | 18,672 | 18,672 | 3-7 | |||||||

We recorded $2,389 and $0 of depreciation expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

NOTE 7—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation and Claims
Various vendors, service providers, and others have asserted legal claims in previous years. These creditors generally are not actively seeking collection of amounts due to them, and we have determined that the probability of realizing any loss on these claims is remote and will seek to compromise and settle at a deep discount any of such claims that are asserted for collection. These amounts are included in our current liabilities. We have not accrued any liability for claims or judgments that we have determined to be barred by the applicable statute of limitations, which generally is eight years for judgments in Utah.
Playboy Enterprises, Inc.
Our affiliate, Play Beverages, LLC, filed suit against Playboy Enterprises, Inc., in Cook County, Illinois, Circuit Court in October 2012 asserting numerous claims, including breach of contract and tortious interference. Playboy responded with a counterclaim of breach of contract and trademark infringement. After proceedings in October 2016, the court awarded a judgment of $6.6 million to Playboy against Play Beverages and CirTran Beverage Corp., our subsidiary. The court denied our motion for a new trial and awarded Playboy treble patent infringement damages and attorney’s fees. We filed a notice of appeal in July 2017 and again in March 2018. Playboy has initiated collection efforts but has recovered no funds. In September 2018, the appellate court affirmed the judgment of the circuit court. We have accrued $17,205,599 as of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, related to this judgment, which is included in liabilities in discontinued operations.

Delinquent Payroll Taxes, Interest, and Penalties
In November 2004, the IRS accepted our amended offer in compromise (the “Offer”) to settle delinquent payroll taxes, interest, and penalties, which required us to pay $500,000, remain current in our payment of taxes for five years, and forego claiming any net operating losses for the years 2001 through 2015 or until we paid taxes on future profits in an amount equal to the taxes of $1,455,767 waived by the Offer. In June 2013, we entered into a partial installment agreement to pay $768,526 in unpaid 2009 payroll taxes, which required us to pay the IRS 5% of cash deposits. The monthly payments were to continue until the account balances were paid in full or until the collection statute of limitation expired on October 6, 2020. We are currently in communication with the IRS regarding the statute of limitations on this settlement and appropriate next steps. Amounts of $673,645 and $673,645 were due as of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Employment Agreements
We engage Iehab Hawatmeh, our president and chief executive officer, through an employment agreement entered in August 2009 and amended in September 2017. In July 2017, Mr. Hawatmeh had resigned all positions with us to pursue other business activities, thereby effectively terminating the agreement. However, the amendment to his employment agreement in September 2017 reinstated Mr. Hawatmeh to his previous positions, with a salary in an amount to be determined. Among other things, the reinstated employment agreement: (a) grants options to purchase a minimum of shares of our stock each year, with an exercise price equal to the market price of our common stock as of the grant date, for the maximum term allowed under our stock option plan; (b) provides for health insurance coverage, cell phone, car allowance, life insurance, and director and officer liability insurance, as well as any other bonus approved by our board; and (c) includes additional incentive compensation as follows: (i) a quarterly bonus equal to 5% of our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization for the applicable quarter; (ii) bonuses equal to 1% of the net purchase price of any acquisitions we complete that are directly generated and arranged by Mr. Hawatmeh; and (iii) an annual bonus (payable quarterly) equal to 1% of our gross sales of all products, net of returns and allowances. On January 1, 2020, we resumed accruing wages for our chief executive officer. A total of $258,750 was accrued during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
We also have an oral agreement with our other director that requires us to issue options to purchase shares of our common stock each year.

Embedded derivatives are valued separately from the host instrument and are recognized as derivative liabilities in our balance sheet. We measure these instruments at their estimated fair value and recognize changes in their estimated fair value in results of operations during the period of change. We have estimated the fair value of these embedded derivatives for convertible debentures and associated warrants using a Monte Carlo simulation as of September 30, 2021, using the following assumptions: (notes one through four) or $0.10 (note five) or the lowest closing bid price in the prior

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to our financial statements included elsewhere in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors discussed elsewhere in this report.
Overview
Based on our diversified expertise in manufacturing, marketing, distribution, and technology services in a wide variety of consumer products, including tobacco products, medical devices, and beverages, around the world, we have an innovative and consumer-focused approach to brand portfolio management, resting on a strong understanding of consumers domestically, and we have established a footprint in more than 50 key, international markets.
During 2021, we continued under our 2019 five-year manufacturing and distribution agreement with an unrelated party to manufacture, distribute, and sell condoms, electronic tobacco products, cigars, energy drinks, water beverages, and related merchandise, all using the HUSTLER® brand name. In 2020, our efforts had been devoted to phase one of our development of all HUSTLER®-branded products, which led us to generating revenue during 2020 for the first time in several years.

Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021, Compared to the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020
Sales and Cost of Sales
During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we had net sales of $961,474and $405,005, respectively, and cost of sales of $339,076 and $228,380, respectively, for gross profit of $622,398 and $176,625, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had net sales of $2,281,529 and $935,319, respectively, and cost of sales of $803,135 and $425,699, respectively, for gross profit of $1,478,394 and $509,620, respectively. The net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2021, consisted of product sales, which increased about 137.4% from the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net sales included revenue received in the first quarter of 2021 related to our agreement to develop and distribute certain HUSTLER® branded product, which was approximately 143.9% higher than net sales for the corresponding period in the previous year.
Operating Expenses
During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, employee costs were $139,520 and $126,559, respectively, and selling, general, and administrative expenses were $514,358 and $129,125, respectively, representing an increase in operating expenses of $385,233, or 155.7%, in the current period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, employee costs were $408,485 and $169,169, respectively, and selling, general, and administrative expenses were $1,165,870 and $248,059, respectively, representing an increase in operating expenses of $1,157,127, or 277.3%, in the current period. The increase in operating expenses period over period is the result of substantially increased activities attributable to the development of products under the HUSTLER® brand name in 2020.
Other Income and Expense
Other income and expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, consisted of $172,400 and $154,318 in interest expense and a loss of $62,086 and a gain of $39,700 on derivative valuation, respectively. Other income and expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, consisted of $507,614 and $466,953 in interest expense; a loss on disposal of equipment of $0 and $9,771, a loss of $176,746 and $318,564 on derivative valuation; other income of $0 and $42,000, respectively; and a gain on forgiveness of debt of $12,917 and $0, respectively. The decrease in other expenses period over period is the result of a decrease to our loss on derivative valuation.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have had a history of losses from operations, as our expenses have been greater than our revenue. Our accumulated deficit was approximately $78.8 million and $77.9 million at September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively. As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, we had current assets of $1,217,186 and $942,442, respectively, and current liabilities of approximately $39 million and $38.1 million, respectively, creating working capital deficits of approximately $37.8 million and $37.1 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020.
Operating Activities
We have only nominal cash or short-term assets, while our current liabilities aggregated approximately $39 million as of September 30, 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, operations generated $152,353 of net cash, comprised of a loss from continuing operations of $767,404, noncash items totaling $15,093 consisting primarily of losses recognized from the changes in fair values of derivative liabilities and debt discount amortization, repayment expenses paid by related parties on our behalf of $268,924, and changes in working capital totaling $934,850. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, operations generated $135,415of net cash, comprised of a net loss from continuing operations of $660,896, noncash items totaling $418,085consisting of losses recognized from the changes in fair values of derivative liabilities and expense paid by related parties on our behalf, and changes in working capital totaling $378,226.
17
Financing Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, financing activities used $214,421 of cash, compared to using$126,061 of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, consisted of repayments of related-party loans. Cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, consisted of advances from convertible debentures totaling $15,000, repayments of bank overdrafts of $1,611, repayments on related-party payables of $270,150, advances from related parties of $10,700, advances from loans payable of $156,000 and repayments on loans payable $36,000.
Our Capital Resources and Anticipated Requirements
Our monthly operating costs total approximately $143,000 per month, excluding approximately $50,000 of accruing interest expense and capital expenditures. We are generating sales revenue under our Exclusive Manufacturing and Distribution Agreement with GloBrands, LLC. Currently, we do not have enough cash on hand to sustain our business operations, and we expect to access external capital resources in the future.
In conjunction with our efforts to commercialize new products, we are actively seeking infusions of capital from investors. In our current financial condition, it is unlikely that we will be able to obtain additional debt financing. Even if we did acquire additional debt, we would be required to devote additional cash flow to servicing the debt and securing the debt with assets.
Accordingly, we are looking to obtain equity financing to meet our anticipated capital needs. We cannot assure that we will be successful in obtaining such capital. If we were to issue additional shares for debt and/or equity, this would dilute the value of our common stock and existing stockholders’ positions. We also have no authorized but unissued capital available.
Convertible Debentures
We currently have an outstanding amended, restated, and consolidated secured convertible debenture with Tekfine, LLC, an unrelated entity, with a maturity date of April 30, 2027, to the extent not previously converted. The amended debenture had a total outstanding principal balance of $2.4 million, with accrued interest of $1.5 million as of September 30, 2021. We also have four additional convertible debentures with Tekfine with maturity dates ranging from December 8, 2021, through May 30, 2022, totaling $275,000, unless earlier converted. The convertible debentures and accrued interest are convertible into shares of our common stock at the lower of $100 or $0.10 (depending on the instrument) or the lowest bid price for the 20 trading days prior to conversion.
Going Concern
These interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that adequate sources of financing will be obtained as required and that our assets will be realized and liabilities settled in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, the interim unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we not be unable to continue as a going concern.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of September 30, 2021, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive and financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2021, to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the periods prescribed by U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive and financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance of achieving the desired objectives. Also, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any system of controls is based, in part, upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
