MOJO ORGANICS, INC.
Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
March 31, 2014
 
NOTE 1 – BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Overview
MOJO Organics, Inc. (“MOJO” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on August 2, 2007.  Headquartered in Jersey City, NJ, the Company engages in the product development, production, marketing and distribution of CHIQUITA TROPICALS™.  CHIQUITA TROPICALS™ are 100% fruit juices, produced under license agreement from Chiquita Brands L.L.C. (“Chiquita”).  The Company currently produces four flavors: Banana Strawberry, Mango, Passion Fruit and Pineapple.
 
CHIQUITA TROPICALS™ first became commercially available in the New York tri-state area and on Amazon.com in late July 2013.  In February, 2014, the Company expanded its sales to the west coast, New England and Central America.  To grow its sales, the Company is utilizing food brokers and distributors as well as selling direct to certain large retail chain stores.

Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q  and article 10 of Regulation S-X and the related rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures included in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited interim condensed financial statements included in this document have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements, and in the Company’s opinion, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with GAAP and SEC regulations for interim financial statements. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that the Company will have for any subsequent period. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes to those statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in the Company’s Annual  Report on Form 10-K.
 
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP. Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include investment instruments, CD’s and time deposits purchased with a maturity of three months or less.

Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.
 
Supplier Deposits
Supplier Deposits consist of prepaid inventory for which the Company has not yet taken delivery.

Property and Equipment and Depreciation
Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation is computed using the straight line method over the estimated useful life of the respective assets.  Computer equipment is depreciated over a period of 3 - 5 years.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred.  When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any gain or loss is credited or charged to income.  At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, accumulated depreciation related to property and equipment was $1,975 and $1,553, respectively.

Preferred Stock Classification
Preferred Stock issued by the Company which meets certain redemption or conversion features is classified as temporary or mezzanine capital in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”

Revenue Recognition
Revenues from sales of products are recognized at the time of delivery when title and risk of loss passes to the customer.  Recognition of revenue also requires reasonable assurance of collection of sales proceeds.

Deductions from Revenue
Costs incurred for sales incentives and discounts are accounted for as a reduction in revenue.  These costs include payments to customers for performing merchandising activities on our behalf, including in-store displays, promotions for new items and obtaining optimum shelf space.
 
 
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and Handling Costs incurred to move finished goods from our sales distribution centers to customer locations are included in the line selling, general and administrative expenses in our Statements of Operations.

Net Loss Per Common Share
The Company computes per share amounts in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share”.  ASC Topic 260 requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS.  Basic EPS is computed by dividing the income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the periods. The conversion of Series A Preferred Stock and options was excluded from the computation of diluted shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2013.  The loss for the period would have had an anti-dilutive impact on the Company’s net loss per common share.

Start-Up Costs
In accordance with ASC topic 720-15, “Start-Up Costs,” the Company charges all costs associated with its start-up operations to income as incurred.

Income Taxes
The Company provides for income taxes under ASC topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse.

ASC Topic 740 also requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
 
Tax returns for the years from 2009 to 2013 are subject to examination by tax authorities.

Stock-Based Compensation
ASC Topic 718, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based compensation plans, including employee stock options, restricted stock, warrants, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights.

ASC Topic 718 requires employee compensation expense to be recorded using the fair value method. The Company accounts for employee stock based compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718. For non-employee options and warrants, the company uses the fair value method as prescribed in ASC Topic 718.

Derivative Instruments
The Company’s derivative liabilities are related to embedded conversion features issued in connection with the Series A Preferred Stock. For derivative instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each reporting period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates and the value is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period, in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheets as current or non-current based upon whether or not the net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the balance sheet date.

Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying amounts of financial instruments, which include accounts payable, accrued expenses and debt obligations approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature and/or variable interest rates. The Company’s debt obligations bear interest at rates which approximate prevailing market rates for instruments with similar characteristics and, accordingly, the carrying values for these instruments approximate fair value.

The Company adopted ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” which established a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements.  ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the amount that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC Topic 820 describes the following three levels of inputs that may be used:

 
·
Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical,, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

 
·
Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;

 
·
Level 3 Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
 
 
The Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2014 or December 31, 2013. The Company did not have any fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the periods ended March 31, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

New Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

 NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
 
The Company's financial statements are prepared using GAAP applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $1,455,189.  As of March 31, 2014, the Company had accumulated losses of $14,576,911, which includes accumulated losses from discontinued operations of $8,576,094.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully obtain and retain customers in order to achieve profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 4 – INVENTORY

As of March 31, 2014, inventory consisted of finished goods of $168,565 and raw materials of $107,752.  At December 31, 2013, the inventory balance of $87,805 consisted of raw materials.

On January 12, 2013, the Company entered into an amended and restated securities purchase agreement for the offer and sale of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 (“Series A Preferred Stock”) at a price of $4.00 per share.  In connection with the private sale of its Series A Preferred Stock, the Company raised gross proceeds of $790,834, including $378,700 from the conversion of promissory notes.  Each share of Series A Preferred Stock was convertible into 10 shares of the Company’s Common Stock determined by dividing $4.00 by the conversion price of $0.40.

The Series A Preferred Stock includes embedded anti-dilutive provisions that meet the defined criteria of a derivative liability as described in ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” and therefore require bifurcation.  These embedded derivatives include certain conversion features indexed to the Company's Common Stock. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the derivatives and related items at their fair values as of the date of issue and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date.   Changes in the fair value are charged to income at the end of each reporting period.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2013, a total of 197,708.5 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock had been converted into 1,977,085 shares of Common Stock. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were zero shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

NOTE 6 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The Company has authorized 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock (“Preferred Stock”) and 190,000,000 shares of common stock (“Common Stock”), each having a par value of $0.001.

 Stock Splits

On April 1, 2013, the Company effected a one-for-ten reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Reverse Split”). The number of authorized shares and the par value of the Common Stock were not changed.  The accompanying financial statements have been restated to reflect this reverse stock split.

Private Placement Offerings

In March 2014, the Company consummated two concurrent private placement offerings (the “2014 Offerings”), receiving an aggregate of $1,835,000 from accredited investors.  In one of the offerings, the Company sold an aggregate of 917,582 shares of Common Stock for $0.91 per share for a total of $835,000.  For each share purchased in this offering, investors received an immediately exercisable, five year warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $0.91 per share.  In the concurrent offering, the Company sold 1,098,091 shares of Common Stock for $0.91 per share for a total of $1,000,000.  The investor in the concurrent offering did not receive warrants.
 
 
On May 1, 2013, the Company commenced a private placement offering of up to 1,250,000 shares of its Common Stock (the “Private Placement”) at a price of $0.40 per share pursuant to subscription agreements entered into with each investor.  As of June 18, 2013, the last date of the offering, 1,171,705 shares of Common Stock were sold, raising an aggregate of $468,682, which amount included the conversion of $20,000 of notes then outstanding.

Stock Incentive Plans

In March 2013, the Company approved the 2012 Long-Term Incentive Equity Plan (the “2012 Plan”), which provides the Company with the ability to issue stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and/or other stock based awards for up to an aggregate of 2,050,000 shares of Common Stock.  In July 2013, the Company granted certain directors and employees of the Company stock options pursuant to the 2012 Plan to purchase 210,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.07 per share, which was 115% of the last sale price of the Common Stock on the date of grant. The options become exercisable in July 2014 and expire in July 2015. In connection with the stock option issuances, compensation expense of $25,358 was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Restricted Stock Compensation

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued 465,000 shares of Common Stock under the 2012 Plan to certain of its directors, executive officers and employees. The shares are subject to a restricted stock agreement, pursuant to which the shares will vest one year from the date of such agreement if the grantee is a director or employee (as applicable) of the Company at the time.

A summary of the restricted stock issuances to directors, officers and employees is as follows:

In connection with the issuance of restricted stock, the Company recorded share-based compensation expense of $602,597 and $427,154 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  With the exception of 1,165,251 shares which vest based upon achieving certain milestones, the Company records compensation expense over the vesting period based upon the fair market value on the date of grant for each share, adjusted for forfeitures.   As of March 31, 2014, there was $4,955,105 of total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to unvested share-based compensation.  That cost is expected to be recognized during the years 2014 through 2016.

Stock Warrants

In March 2014, the Company issued warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock at a price of $0.91 per share.  The warrants are exercisable for five years from the date of issuance.

In connection with the issuance of warrants for services rendered, compensation expense of $246,479 and advisory fees of $18,460 were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2014.   Since the warrants are fully vested, there is no future cost to the Company in connection with the warrants.  Warrants issued to investors as part of the 2014 Placements had no impact, and will have no future impact, on the Company’s statement of operations.

Advisory Services

In March 2014, the Company entered into two agreements pursuant to which the Company will receive advisory services related to strategy, distributorship, sales and sales channels and investor relations.  The Company granted to each advisor 100,000 shares of restricted Common Stock, subject to forfeiture if the advisor terminates or materially breaches the agreement before the six-month anniversary thereof.  The aggregate value of the advisory fees of $260,000 was calculated based upon the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of the agreement.  This amount will be charged to income ratably over the six month vesting period.

Also in March 2014, the Company issued 82,418 and 1,234 shares of Common Stock for advisory work and consulting work, respectively.  The number of shares issued was calculated based upon the fair market value of the stock.

On October 3, 2013, the Company entered into an advisor agreement whereby the Company would receive strategic business advisory services, distributorship advisory services, sales and sales channel advisory services and investor relation advisory services in exchange for the issuance of 50,000 shares of restricted Common Stock.  The Common Stock vested on April 3, 2014.  In connection with this issuance, the Company recorded $75,000 in consulting fees during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Also on October 3, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement for strategic business advisory services, public relations services and investor relations services.  In connection with this agreement, the Company issued 167,204 shares of restricted Common Stock and recorded consulting fees of $501,612 during 2013.  The stock is fully vested. The advisor was also issued an additional 200,000 shares of restricted Common Stock, which will vest quarterly based upon the Company reaching certain market capitalization and revenue goals.  Should the Company not reach these goals, the additional shares will be forfeited.  The goals were met for the first three quarters.  As a result, 150,000 of the additional 200,000 shares are vested as of March 31, 2014.

NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Lease Commitment
The Company entered into an office service agreement for office space for a term of 12 months effective February 11, 2014.  The base monthly office fee under that agreement is $1,147.  Prior to that, the Company rented its office space on a month to month basis.

Licensing Agreement
On August 15, 2012, the Company entered into a license agreement (“License Agreement”) for the use of a third party’s marks in the manufacture, sale, promotion, marketing, advertising and distribution of certain fruit juice products in select containers. The License Agreement grants the Company an exclusive license in Connecticut, New Jersey and New York and a non-exclusive license for the other states in the United States not included in the exclusive license, plus Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and  Nicaragua. The term of the License Agreement is for seven years from July 2013 (the date that the Company first invoiced customers for products sold under the License Agreement), subject to the Company meeting certain minimum sales volume and/or minimum royalty payments. Termination of the License Agreement could have a material and adverse impact on the Company’s business.  Future minimum royalty payments (in thousands) are $691 for 2014, $1,265 for 2015, $1,850 for 2016, $2,611 for 2017 and $11,617 for 2018 to 2020. 
 
 
NOTE 8 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
The Company issued 23,272 shares of Common Stock to its chief executive officer as payment of salary due for January and February 2014 in lieu of cash.  The shares were valued by the Company at the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the last trading day of the applicable month for which payment was due.

In December 2013, the Company received $24,000 in non-interest bearing, demand loans from certain related parties.  The loans were repaid in full by February 2014.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company issued 42,714 shares of Common Stock to employees in lieu of an aggregate of $100,692 cash salaries.  In addition, accrued salary amounting to $141,200 and $20,000 was converted into 35,300 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 50,000 shares of Common Stock as part of the Private Placement, respectively.

On January 31, 2013, the balance of notes outstanding to related parties of $237,500 was converted into 59,375 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.  Accrued interest of $7,261 was paid to the holders of the notes.
 
NOTE 9 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In accordance with ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events,” the Company evaluates events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date for potential recognition in the financial statements. The effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence of conditions that existed at the balance sheet date are recognized in the financial statements as of March 31, 2014. In preparing these financial statements, the Company evaluated the events and transactions that occurred through the date these financial statements were issued. 


ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This report includes a number of forward looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance.  Forward looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events.  You should not place undue certainty on these forward looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this annual report.  These forward looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions.

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is provided in addition to the accompanying financial statements and notes to assist readers in understanding our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. MD&A is organized as follows:
 
 
·
Critical Accounting Policies — Accounting policies that we believe are important to understanding the assumptions and judgments incorporated in our reported financial results and forecasts.
 
·
Results of Operations — Analysis of our financial results comparing the three months ended March 31, 2014 to 2013. Liquidity and Capital Resources — Analysis of changes in our cash flows, and discussion of our financial condition and potential sources of liquidity.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
We have prepared our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), which requires management to make significant judgments and estimates 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 expenses during the reporting period. We base these significant judgments and estimates on historical experience and other applicable assumptions we believe to be reasonable based upon information presently available. These estimates may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. These changes have historically been minor and have been included in the financial statements as soon as they became known. Actual results could materially differ from our estimates under different assumptions, judgments or conditions.
 
All of our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our financial statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies and estimates, which are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, are the most pervasive and important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions, judgments or conditions.
 
We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our financial statements:
 
Use of EstimatesThe financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP. Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Stock-based Compensation — ASC Topic 718, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based compensation plans, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights.

ASC Topic 718 requires employee compensation expense to be recorded using the fair value method. The Company accounts for employee stock based compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718. For non-employee options and warrants, the company uses the fair value method as prescribed in ASC Topic 718.
 
Determining the appropriate fair value of the stock-based compensation requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the stock-based payment and stock price volatility. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing option model to value its stock option awards which incorporate the Company’s stock price, volatility, U.S. risk-free rate, dividend rate, and estimated life.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments — Our short-term financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and other liabilities, consist primarily of instruments without extended maturities. We believe that the fair values of our current assets and current liabilities approximate their reported carrying amounts.
 
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC, did not, or are not believed by management, to have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company reported revenue of $85,478.

There were no sales for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Cost of Revenues includes production costs and raw material costs.  For the three months ended March 31, 2014, cost of revenues was $80,631 or 94% of sales. There was no cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Operating Expenses
For the three months ended March 31, 2014, operating expenses were $1,460,036, an increase of $939,534 or 181% over operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 of $520,502.  Stock-based compensation costs, which consist of charges to income for vesting in connection with restricted stock issuances, stock options and warrants, were $874,434 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $427,154 for the corresponding period in 2013.  This increase of $447,280 represents 48% of the increase in total operating expenses.  Advisory service fees and consulting fees, which were primarily paid in stock and warrants, consisted of 32% of the increase.  During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company incurred $299,836 in advisory service and consulting fees.  There were no fees for the three months ended March 31, 2013.    Marketing, promotional, selling and licensing fees were $116,839 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $0 for the corresponding period in 2013.  This increase represents 12% of the total increase in operating costs.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
Liquidity

Working Capital Needs
 
As a result of the financing in March 2014, the Company believes it has sufficient cash to fund the operations of the Company for the next twelve months.  Our business prospects are difficult to predict, however, due to our limited operating history.  

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
 
The Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2014.
 
 
GOING CONCERN
 
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using GAAP applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully obtain and retain customers in order to achieve profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
 
ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS
 
Not Applicable.
   
ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that 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, regardless of how remote.
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s senior management, consisting of the Company’s principal executive and financial officer and the Company’s principal accounting officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive and financial officer and the Company’s principal accounting officer concluded, as of the Evaluation Date, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

As previously reported, the Company does not have an audit committee and is not currently obligated to have one. Although it remains management’s view that such a committee is an important internal control over financial reporting, management does not believe that the lack of an audit committee could result in a material misstatement in the Company’s financial statements in the near future. Accordingly, management has concluded that this deficiency alone does not constitute a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, and has considered the foregoing in its determination that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting and its disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the Evaluation Date.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
 
There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
