1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Constellation Alpha Capital Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on July 31, 2015. The Company was formed for the purpose of acquiring, engaging in a share exchange, share reconstruction and amalgamation with, purchasing all or substantially all of the assets of, entering into contractual arrangements with, or engaging in any other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (“Business Combination”). Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, the Company intends to focus on healthcare services and manufacturing businesses in India.

All activity through December 31, 2018 relates to the Company’s formation, its initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”) of 14,375,000 units (“Units” and with respect to the ordinary shares included in the Units, the “Public Shares”), the sale of 561,250 units (the “Private Units”) in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, Centripetal, LLC (the “Sponsor”) and Cowen Investments, LLC and their designees (“Cowen Investments”), and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. Each Unit consists of one Public Share, one right and one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each right will convert into one-tenth (1/10) of one ordinary share. Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one-half (1/2) of one ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of its Initial Public Offering and Private Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. NASDAQ rules provide that the Company’s Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the trust account, which holds the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Units (the “Trust Account”), (excluding any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing a definitive agreement in connection with a Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

The Company will provide the holders of its Public Shares (“Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. In connection with a proposed Business Combination, the Company may seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which shareholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against a Business Combination. The shareholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account ($10.10 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). The per-share amount to be distributed to shareholders who redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 4).

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination on or before March 23, 2019 (the “Combination Period”), the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than five business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned (net of taxes payable and less interest to pay dissolution expenses up to $50,000), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company, subject in each case to its obligations to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of applicable law. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to the deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than $10.10 per Unit. The Sponsor has agreed that it will indemnify the Company to the extent necessary to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by the Company for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to the Company, but only if such a vendor or prospective target business does not execute such a waiver. However, the Sponsor may not be able to meet such obligation as the Company has not required its Sponsor to retain any assets to provide for its indemnification obligations, nor has the Company taken any further steps to ensure that the Sponsor will be able to satisfy any indemnification obligations that arise. Moreover, the Sponsor will not be liable to the Public Shareholders if it should fail to satisfy its obligations and instead will only be liable to the Company. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

On August 2, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement (“Share Purchase Agreement”) to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Medall Healthcare Private Limited, a company registered under the laws of India (“Medall”). On December 3, 2018, the Share Purchase Agreement was terminated automatically. The Company intends to continue to pursue a business combination with a target company.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had cash held outside the Trust Account of approximately $45,000, marketable securities held in the Trust Account of approximately $148.5 million (including approximately $3.3 million of interest income, net of unrealized losses), substantially all of which is invested in U.S. treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less, and a working capital deficit of approximately $663,000. Further, the Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. Based on the foregoing, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business through the earlier of consummation of a Business Combination or March 23, 2019. Following the initial Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, the Company may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet its obligations.  The Company cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. The Company’s plans to raise capital or to consummate the initial Business Combination may not be successful.  These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2018 as filed with the SEC on June 29, 2018, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto. The financial information as of March 31, 2018 is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2018. The interim results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending March 31, 2019 or for any future interim periods.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from our estimates.

Net loss per ordinary share

Net loss per ordinary share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. The Company applies the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption at December 31, 2018 and 2017, which are not currently redeemable and are not redeemable at fair value, have been excluded from the calculation of basic loss per share since such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of the earnings from the assets held in the Trust Account. The Company has not considered the effect of (1) warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and private placement to purchase 7,468,125 ordinary shares, and (2) rights sold in the Initial Public Offering and private placement that convert into 1,493,625 ordinary shares, in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since the exercise of the warrants and the conversion of rights into ordinary shares is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the periods.

Reconciliation of net loss per ordinary share

The Company’s net income is adjusted for the portion of income that is attributable to ordinary shares subject to redemption, as these shares only participate in the income of the Trust Account and not the losses of the Company. Accordingly, basic and diluted loss per ordinary share is calculated as follows:

Recently issued accounting standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Administrative Services Arrangement

The Company entered into an agreement whereby, commencing on June 20, 2017 through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and its liquidation, the Company pays the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities and administrative services. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018, the Company incurred $30,000 and $90,000 in fees for these services, respectively, of which $40,000 is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2018. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017, the Company incurred $30,000 and $60,000, respectively, in fees for these services.

Related Party Advances

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company has an outstanding balance of $36,095 and $11,095 of advances from related parties for working capital purposes, respectively. The advances are non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on demand.

4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Registration Rights

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on June 19, 2017, the holders of the founder shares, Private Units and any units that may be issued upon conversion of the working capital loans (and underlying securities) are entitled to registration rights. The holders of 25% of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a Business Combination. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1993, as amended (the “Securities Act”) to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of three and one-half percent (3.5%) of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or $5,031,250 in the aggregate. Of such amount, up to approximately 0.5% per Unit, or $718,750, may be paid to third parties not participating in the Initial Public Offering that assist the Company in consummating its Business Combination. The election to make such payments to third parties will be solely at the discretion of the Company, and such third parties will be selected by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion. The deferred fee will be paid in cash upon the closing of a Business Combination from the amounts held in the Trust Account, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Financial Advisory Agreement

In July 2018, the Company engaged a financial advisor (the “Financial Advisory Agreement”) to raise between $50.0 million and $200 million (the “Financing Raise”) from investors in exchange for a success fee (the “Success Fee”) of 1.5% of the funds raised. In addition to the Success Fee, the Company agreed to pay additional fees of up to 0.5% of funds raised, at its sole discretion. The Success Fee will be payable upon consummation of the Financing Raise. In connection with the termination of the Share Purchase Agreement with Medall in December 2018, the Financial Advisory Agreement was also terminated.

5. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preferred Shares — The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of no par value preferred shares, divided into five classes, Class A through Class E, each with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined by a resolution of the Company’s board of directors to amend the Memorandum and Articles of Association to create such designations, rights and preferences. The Company has five classes of preferred shares to give the Company flexibility as to the terms on which each Class is issued. All shares of a single class must be issued with the same rights and obligations. Accordingly, starting with five classes of preferred shares will allow the Company to issue shares at different times on different terms. At December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018, there are no preferred shares designated, issued or outstanding.

Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of no par value ordinary shares. Holders of the Company’s ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. At December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018, there were 5,190,437 and 5,091,071 ordinary shares issued and outstanding (excluding 13,339,563 and 13,438,929 ordinary shares subject to possible redemption).

6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS 

The Company follows the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. 

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On February 12, 2019, the Company filed a preliminary proxy statement with the SEC in connection with the Company's intent to hold a special meeting in lieu of its 2019 annual general meeting of shareholders for the purpose of amending the Company's Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination from March 23, 2019 to September 23, 2019.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated on July 31, 2015 in the British Virgin Islands and formed for the purpose of entering into a Business Combination with one or more target businesses. Although we are not limited to a particular industry or geographic region, we focus on healthcare services and manufacturing businesses in India.

On June 23, 2017, we consummated our initial public offering of 14,375,000 units (including 1,875,000 units sold pursuant to the underwriters exercising their over-allotment option), with each unit consisting of one ordinary share, one warrant, each warrant entitling the holder to purchase one-half of one ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per whole share and one right to receive one-tenth of one ordinary share upon the consummation of an initial business combination. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. Each warrant will become exercisable on the later of the completion of our business combination or 12 months from the closing of our initial public offering. The warrants will expire five years after the completion of our initial business combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The units in our initial public offering were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $143,750,000. Cowen Investments acted as the sole book running manager and I-Bankers Securities, Inc. acted as co-manager of the offering. The securities sold in the offering were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-218093), or our registration statement. The SEC declared our registration statement effective on June 19, 2017.

We paid a total of $2,875,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions and $514,467 for other costs and expenses related to our initial public offering. In addition, the underwriters agreed to defer $5,031,250 in underwriting discounts and commissions, and up to this amount will be payable upon consummation of the business combination. After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions (excluding the deferred portion of $5,031,250 in underwriting discounts and commissions, which will be released from the trust account upon consummation of the business combination, if consummated) and the estimated offering expenses, the total net proceeds from our initial public offering and the private placement was $145,973,033, of which $145,187,500 (or $10.10 per unit sold in our initial public offering) was placed in the trust account (“Trust Account”).

We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination or to raise capital will be successful.

On August 2, 2018, we entered into an agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Medall Healthcare Private Limited, a company registered under the laws of India (“Medall”). On December 3, 2018, the Share Purchase Agreement was terminated automatically. We intend to continue to pursue a business combination with a target company.

On February 12, 2019, we filed a preliminary proxy statement with the SEC in connection with our intent to hold a special meeting in lieu of our 2019 annual general meeting of shareholders for the purpose of amending our Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which we have to consummate a Business Combination from March 23, 2019 to September 23, 2019. There can be no assurance that our shareholders will approve such an extension or that, if it is approved, we will be able to complete a Business Combination by September 23, 2019.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from inception through December 31, 2018 were organizational activities, those necessary to consummate the Initial Public Offering and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We expect to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities we hold as a result of the Initial Public Offering. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in pursuit of our acquisition plans.

For the three months ended December 31, 2018, we had net income of approximately $504,000, consisting of interest income of approximately $836,000, offset by unrealized loss on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $851, and operating costs of approximately $331,000.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2018, we had net income of approximately $949,000, consisting of interest income of approximately $2.1 million, offset by unrealized loss on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of approximately $33,000 and operating costs of approximately $1.2 million.

For the three months ended December 31, 2017, we had net income of approximately $252,000, consisting of interest income on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of approximately $361,000, offset by operating costs of approximately $97,000 and an unrealized loss on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of approximately $12,000.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2017, we had net income of approximately $466,000, consisting of interest income on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of approximately $727,000, offset by operating costs of approximately $224,000 and an unrealized loss on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of approximately $36,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2018, we had marketable securities held in the trust account of approximately $148.5 million, substantially all of which is invested in U.S. treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less. Interest income earned on the balance in the trust account may be available to us to pay our income tax obligations. Since inception, we have not withdrawn any interest from the trust account.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2018, cash used in operating activities amounted to approximately $430,000. Net income of approximately $949,000 was impacted by interest earned on marketable securities held in the trust account of approximately $2.1 million, and an unrealized loss on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of approximately $33,000. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities provided cash of approximately $734,000.

We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds of our initial public offering and the sale of the private units, including the funds held in the trust account (excluding deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned on the trust account), to acquire a target business or businesses and to pay our expenses relating thereto. To the extent that our shares are used in whole or in part as consideration to effect our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account as well as any other net proceeds not expended will be used as working capital. Such working capital funds could be used in a variety of ways including continuing or expanding the target business’ operations, for strategic acquisitions and for marketing, research and development of existing or new products. Such funds could also be used to repay any operating expenses or finders’ fees which we had incurred prior to the completion of our initial business combination if the funds available to us outside of the Trust Account were insufficient to cover such expenses.

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor, or our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the trust account released to us. In the event that a business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our trust account would be used to repay such loaned amounts. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be converted into private units of the post business combination entity at a price of $10.00 per private unit at the option of the lender. The terms of such loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2018, we had cash of approximately $45,000 held outside the Trust Account, which is available for use by us to cover the costs associated with identifying a target business, negotiating a business combination, due diligence procedures and other general corporate uses. In addition, as of December 31, 2018, we had accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $713,000. Further, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our acquisition plans. Based on the foregoing, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business through the earlier of consummation of a business combination or March 23, 2019. Following the initial business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.  We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Our plans to raise capital or to consummate the initial business combination may not be successful.  These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Off-balance sheet financing arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unentities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Contractual obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities and administrative support provided to the Company. We began incurring these fees on June 20, 2017 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policy:

Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption

We account for our ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. Our ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of our balance sheet.

Recent accounting pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

All activity through December 31, 2018 relates to our formation, the preparation for our Initial Public Offering and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. Following the consummation of our Initial Public Offering, the net proceeds of our Initial Public Offering were invested in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we do not believe that there will be an associated material exposure to interest rate risk at December 31, 2018.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2018. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
