Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Nature of Operations

 

GSRX Industries Inc. (“the Company”) is a Nevada corporation formed under the name Cyberspace Vita, Inc. (“Cyberspace”) on November 7, 2006. Cyberspace’s initial business plan was related to the online sale of vitamins and supplements. On May 11, 2017, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Peter Zachariou, the majority shareholder of Cyberspace (the “Shareholder”), Project 1493, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (“1493”), and Peach Management, LLC (“Peach”) the sole member of 1493 (the “Member”), pursuant to which the Member transferred all of the outstanding membership interests of 1493 to the Company in exchange for 16,690,912 restricted shares of common stock of the Company (the “Exchange Shares”), warrants to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share for a period of three (3) years from the date of issuance (the “Exchange Warrants”) and 1,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock that grants the holders thereof fifty-one percent (51%) voting power (the “Preferred Shares” and together with the Exchange Shares, and the Exchange Warrants, the “Exchange Securities”). As a result of the Exchange Agreement, 1493 became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the business of 1493 became the business of the Company. At the time of the Exchange Agreement, Cyberspace was not engaged in any business activity. The Company accounted for the acquisition of 1493 as a reverse merger and all prior periods presented are those of 1493.

 

Pure and Natural One-TN, LLC (“PaN One”) was organized under the laws of the State of Tennessee on February 5, 2019. PaN One was formed for the purpose of operating CBD retail operations in Tennessee. PaN One opened its first kiosk location in Governor’s Square Mall in Clarksville, Tennessee on February 9, 2019.

 

Green Room Palm Springs LLC (“GRPS”) was organized under the laws of the State of California on March 4, 2019. GRPS was formed for the purpose of operating a cannabis dispensary in Palm Springs, California.

 

The Company is in the business of acquiring, developing and operating medical cannabis dispensaries throughout Puerto Rico; cannabis related businesses in California and real estate leasing in Puerto Rico and California.

 

The Company entered into the Final Purchasing Agreements (“FPA”) with holders of licenses to operate medicinal cannabis dispensaries in Puerto Rico. Pursuant to the FPAs, the Company acquired all of the legal rights, permits, pre-qualification licenses, and leases for five (5) medicinal cannabis dispensaries. The pre-qualification licenses do not allow the holder to open a dispensary, but instead offers the opportunity to go through the qualifying steps in order to obtain the requisite operating permit necessary to open the dispensary. Such steps include proving financial viability, background checks, application of the final permit, proof of certificate of occupancy, employment of a security firm, installation of security cameras, and other similar compliance matters.

 

The Company operates six dispensaries as follows:

 

Location  State/Territory  Date Opened  Purchase Price 
Dorado  Puerto Rico  March 28, 2018  $ 100,000 
Fajardo  Puerto Rico  December 28, 2018  $100,000 
Carolina  Puerto Rico  June 1, 2018  $100,000 
Hato Rey  Puerto Rico  June 1, 2018  $128,000 
San Juan  Puerto Rico  October 2, 2018  $75,000 
Point Arena  California  April 2, 2018  $350,000 

 

The FPA’s have an indefinite life and are not being amortized.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments, unless otherwise indicated) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position and results of its operations for the periods presented have been made. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or of results to be expected for the full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2018 (including the notes thereto) set forth in Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2019.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements through March 31, 2019 include the accounts of the Company and the following entities, all of which have fiscal year ends of December 31. (Note 1).

 

●  100% owned subsidiary, Project 1493, LLC;

51% majority owned subsidiary, Spirulinex, LLC;

GSRX Industries Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2019

 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all cash on hand, cash in banks and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months at purchase or less to be cash and cash equivalents. At times, cash and cash equivalent balances at a limited number of banks and financial institutions may exceed insurable amounts. At March 31, 2019, the Company had $0 in excess of FDIC depository insurance coverage. The Company believes it mitigates its risks by depositing cash or investing in cash equivalents in major financial institutions.

 

Cash held in escrow, in the name of the Company, is held by Gunnison Bank (“Gunnison”). The escrow account was established to hold the deposits from the sale of equity in subsidiaries and hold funds for businesses under subscription agreements. There are no restrictions on the funds held by Gunnison on the Company’s behalf.

 

Investments, fair value

 

On March 30, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Agreement”) and an Ancillary Rights Agreement (the “Ancillary Agreement”) with Chemesis International Inc., a British Columbian Corporation (“CADMF”). In the Share Agreement, the Company received 7,291,874 restricted shares of common stock of CADMF. Fair value of the investment as of March 31, 2019 was $11,666,998. CADMF is quoted on the OTC market and closed on Friday, March 29, 2019 at $1.60 per share.

 

Investments, cost method

 

Pure and Natural, LLC made a $50,000 investment on January 4, 2019 for a 10% equity and profits interest in The Zen Stop, LLC. The Zen Stop is a mobile wellness business called “Zen Stop.” The investment is carried at the cost basis as it is a private company and fair value cannot be readily determined.

 

Pure and Natural, LLC purchased 25,167 membership units in Buzznog, LLC for $20,000 on March 6, 2019. The investment is carried at the cost basis as it is a private company and fair value cannot be readily determined.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In accordance with the new guidance, the Company recognizes revenue at an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring goods or services to its customers. The Company’s policy is to record revenue when control of the goods transfers to the customer.

 

In limited instances when products are sold under consignment arrangements, the Company does not recognize revenue until control over such products has transferred to the end consumer.

 

The Company incurs costs associated with product distribution, such as freight and handling costs. The Company has elected to treat these costs as fulfillment activities and recognizes these costs at the same time that it recognizes the underlying product revenue. As this policy election is in line with the Company’s previous accounting practices, the treatment of shipping and handling activities under Topic 606 did not have any impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and/or financial statement disclosures.

Intangible Costs

 

The Company has incurred costs related to Patent Application Costs during the year ended December 31, 2018 and quarter ended March 31, 2019, consisting of $1,943,934 of legal fees. The patent applications will continue to be filed over the next several quarters. As the patents have not been issued as of March 31, 2019, no amortization has been applied against the patent costs. If the patents are approved, the Company will amortize the patent application costs over their useful lives. If the patents are not approved, the patent application costs will be expensed and charged to operations. (Note 7).

 

Share based Compensation

 

Compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions (including the cost of all employee stock options) is required to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements and covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. That cost is measured based on the estimated fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. (See Note 3).

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying value of the Company’s current liabilities approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion the Company is not exposed, except for cash balances in excess of the FDIC depository insurance coverage, to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company follows the accrual method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences). The effect on the deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company was organized under the laws of Nevada and therefore will be taxed at statutory U.S. federal corporate income tax rates.

 

Basic Earnings per Share

 

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260 “Earnings per Share”, which specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings (loss) per share for entities with publicly held common stock.

 

Basic net loss per share amounts are computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the Company’s earnings per share calculation due to the effect of being anti-dilutive. The total number of potentially dilutive securities which have been excluded is 6,995,796. (Note 3).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

As of March 31, 2019 and through May 15, 2019, there were several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or future operating results. The Company will monitor these emerging issues to assess any potential future impact on its financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This standard requires all leases that have a term of over 12 months to be recognized on the balance sheet with the liability for lease payments and the corresponding right-of-use asset initially measured at the present value of amounts expected to be paid over the term. Recognition of the costs of these leases on the income statement will be dependent upon their classification as either an operating or a financing lease. Costs of an operating lease will continue to be recognized as a single operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. On January 1, 2019, we adopted this standard on our consolidated financial statements. The Company recognized the Right of Use asset in the amount of $6,316,879 and Lease Liability – current of $1,188,821 and Lease Liability – non-current of $5,238,108 as of March 31, 2019. During the period ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized an additional $110,050 of rental expense charged to operations due to the adoption of the standard.

The resulting amount is charged to expense on the straight-line basis over the period in which the Company expects to receive the benefit, which is generally the vesting period. No warrants were issued for compensation during the period ended March 31, 2019.

 

All of the outstanding warrants granted were fully vested on the grant date.

4. Income Taxes

 

Deferred income taxes are reported using the liability method. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

5. Construction in progress

If the patents are not approved, the patent application costs will be expensed and charged against income.

 

8. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Lease Commitments

 

The Company leases various facilities under operating leases which expire at various dates through June 2028. Under the terms of the operating lease agreements, the Company is responsible for certain insurance, taxes and common area maintenance expenses. As of January 1, 2019 the Company adopted ASC 842 requiring lessees to record assets and liabilities on the balance sheet.

2022   1,618,849 
2023   784,137 
Thereafter   516,436 
Total  $7,576,228 

 

Option to Purchase Building

The Company will also pay $10,000 rent for April and May, 2019.

 

Risk of Prosecution for Cannabis-Related Companies

 

A company that is connected to the marijuana industry must be aware that cannabis-related companies may be at risk of federal, and perhaps state, criminal prosecution. The Department of Treasury recently issued guidance noting: “The Controlled Substances Act” (“CSA”) makes it illegal under federal law to manufacture, distribute, or dispense cannabis. Many states impose and enforce similar prohibitions. As of March 31, 2019 and May 15, 2019, the Company has not been notified of any pending investigations regarding its planned business activities, and is not currently involved in any such investigations with any regulators.

 

California Operating Licenses

 

Effective January 1, 2018 the State of California allowed for adult use cannabis sales. California’s cannabis licensing system is being implemented in two phases. First, beginning on January 1, 2018, the State began issuing temporary licenses. On January 1, 2019 the State ceased issuing temporary licenses and began transitioning 2018 qualifying temporary licenses to provisional and annual license status.

 

Green Spirit Mendocino, LLC holds a provisional license which expires April 4, 2020. The provisional license was issued by the Bureau of Cannabis Control (“BCC”) while the annual application is pending final approval. Point Arena Manufacturing, LLC (“PAM”) which holds a Non-Volatile Type 6 Manufacturing license was issued a provisional license on April 24, 2019. . Point Arena Distribution, LLC holds a Distribution Type 11 license issued by the BCC which expires on July 8, 2019.

 

Although the possession, cultivation and distribution of cannabis for medical and adult use is permitted in California, cannabis is a Schedule-I controlled substance and its use remains a violation of federal law. Since federal law criminalizing the use of cannabis preempts state laws that legalize its use, strict enforcement of federal law regarding cannabis would likely result in our inability to proceed with our business plan, especially in respect of our cannabis cultivation, production and dispensaries. In addition, our assets, including real property, cash, equipment and other goods, could be subject to asset forfeiture because cannabis is still federally illegal.

Those statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of us and members of our management team as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based. Prospective investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risk and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements.

 

Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Important factors currently known to management could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes in the future operating results over time. We believe that our assumptions are based upon reasonable data derived from and known about our business and operations. No assurances are made that actual results of operations or the results of our future activities will not differ materially from our assumptions. Factors that could cause differences include, but are not limited to, expected market demand for our products, fluctuations in pricing for our products, and competition.

 

Unless the context indicates or suggests otherwise, references to “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company,” or “GSRX” refer to GSRX Industries Inc., a Nevada corporation, individually, or as the context requires, collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries.

 

GSRX Industries Inc. was incorporated in Nevada under the name “Cyberspace Vita, Inc.” on November 7, 2006. The Company’s original business plan was to create and conduct an online business for the sale of vitamins and supplements; however, Cyberspace never generated any meaningful revenues. On May 5, 2008, Cyberspace discontinued its prior business and changed its business plan.

 

Following discontinuation of its initial business plan, the Company’s business plan was to seek, investigate, and, if warranted, acquire one or more properties or businesses, and to pursue other related activities intended to enhance stockholder value. The acquisition of a business opportunity may be made by purchase, merger, exchange of stock, or otherwise, and may encompass assets or a business entity, such as a corporation, joint venture, or partnership.

 

On May 11, 2017, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with Project 1493, and the sole member of 1493, pursuant to which the member transferred all of the outstanding membership interests of 1493 to the Company in exchange for 16,690,912 of its restricted shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share.

 

As a result of the Exchange Agreement, 1493 became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the business of 1493 became the business of the Company. The Company, together with its wholly-owned subsidiary, is in the business of acquiring, developing and operating medical cannabis dispensaries in Puerto Rico.

 

On May 12, 2017, the Company changed its name from “Cyberspace Vita, Inc.” to “Green Spirit Industries Inc.” On June 22, 2018, the Company changed its name from “Green Spirit Industries Inc.” to “GSRX Industries Inc.”

As of the date of this Report, we have financed operations through a combination of equity financings including net proceeds from the private placements of stock. Although it is difficult to predict our liquidity requirements, based upon our current operating plan, as of the date of this Report, we believe we will have sufficient cash to meet our projected operating requirements until the end of 2019, at which point we anticipate nearing or reaching cash-flow breakeven. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018

 

The following table summarizes the results of our operations during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and provides information regarding the dollar and percentage increase or (decrease) from the current three-month period to the prior three-month period:

 

Line Item  3/31/2019 (unaudited)   3/31/2018 (unaudited)   Increase (Decrease)   Percentage
Increase
(Decrease)
 
Revenues   2,866,079    2,196    2,863,883    1,306.00%

Loss per share of common stock  $(0.07)  $(0.21)  $.14    67%

 

We recorded a net loss of $3,087,201 for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

 

Revenue. Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $2,866,079 and $2,196, respectively. The increase of $2,863,883, or 1306.00%, was due to the revenues generated by operations of the five (5) Green Spirit RX dispensaries in Puerto Rico, and The Green Room dispensary, CBD sales from Pure and Natural and retail sales from the Pure and Natural One kiosk.during the third quarter.

 

Cost of Goods Sold. Total cost of revenue for the three months ended March 2019 and 2018 was $1,380,620 and $821, respectively. The increase of $1,379,799, or 1,681%, was due to an increase in inventory purchases of cannabis products, including flowers, cream, oils and edibles, and cannabis-related accessories, including cartridges and pipes, related to the retail operations of the six dispensaries and CBD products purchased during the first quarter.

 

Total Operating Expenses Selling, general, administrative and operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $4,723,783 and $8,510,083, respectively. The decrease of $3,786,300, or 44.44%, was primarily due to an increase in operating expenses of the four dispensaries, labor, taxes, store supplies, marketing and security expenses, professional fees, consulting fees which was offset by, and the significant reduction of stock-based compensation.

 

Net Loss. Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $3,087,201 and $8,508,190, respectively. The decrease of $5,420,989, or 63.71%, was primarily due to an increase in revenues and decrease of stock-based compensation.and offset by increases in cost of goods sold, operating expenses related to retail operations of the five dispensaries. and professional fees.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to an investor in our securities.

Seasonality

 

Our operating results were not affected by seasonality.

 

Inflation

 

Our business and operating results are not affected in any material way by inflation.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission issued Financial Reporting Release No. 60, “Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies” suggesting that companies provide additional disclosure and commentary on their most critical accounting policies. In Financial Reporting Release No. 60, the Securities and Exchange Commission has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and operating results, and require management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. The nature of our business generally does not call for the preparation or use of estimates. Due to the fact that the Company does not have any operating business, we do not believe that we have any such critical accounting policies.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

We have never reported net income. We incurred net losses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 of $3,087,201 and $8,508,190, respectively and have an accumulated deficit of $45,409,437 as of March 31, 2019.

 

As of March 31, 2019, the Company had $1,526,154 cash on hand as compared to $1,313,645 as of December 31, 2018. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company reported loss from operations of $3,087,201 and net cash increase of $212,509.

 

Sources of Liquidity

 

We have not been able to generate sufficient cash from operating activities to fund our ongoing operations. Since May 2017, we have raised capital through private sales of our securities. Our future success is dependent upon our ability to achieve profitable operations and generate cash from operating activities. There is no guarantee that we will be able to generate sufficient revenue and/or raise capital to support our operations.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we financed our operations through the remaining proceeds from various private placement offerings conducted by the Company during 2018 and March 2019. During the first quarter of 2019, the Company financed its operations from the remaining proceeds from the Company’s April offering, which closed in June 2018 and resulted in total gross proceeds of $2,584,765 and from our June offering which closed during September 2018 and resulted in total gross proceeds of $475,000 and our March 2019 offering which resulted in total gross proceeds of $777,000 to finance our operations.

 

We anticipate requiring additional capital for the continued development and implementation of our business plan, including the remaining build-out of our facilities in California, completing construction on our dispensaries in Puerto Rico, and working capital for our retail dispensary operations.

 

We will be required to raise additional cash through public or private financing, additional collaborative relationships or other arrangements until we are able to raise revenues to a point of positive cash flow. We believe our existing and available capital resources will be sufficient to satisfy our funding requirements through the fourth quarter of 2019. However, we continue to evaluate various options to further reduce our cash requirements to operate at a reduced rate, as well as options to raise additional funds, including obtaining loans for real estate purchases and selling common stock. There is no guarantee that we will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support our operations, or if we are able to raise capital, that it will be available to us on acceptable terms, on an acceptable schedule, or at all.

 

The issuance of additional securities may result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining loans, assuming these loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations or that additional financing will be available for use when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations.

 

Operating Cash Flows. Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $657,636 which was due to the net loss from operations, net of common stock issued for services, the increase of inventory, accounts payable, accrued expenses, advances payable, lease liability and deposits offset by the decrease in accounts receivable, prepaid inventory and prepaid expenses.

 

Investing Cash Flows. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31,2019 was $440,427, which was due to purchase of leasehold improvements and equipment; legal fees on patent application costs; investments in closely held businesses and construction on facilities still not put into service.

 

Financing Cash Flows. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $1,310,572, which was due to our March 2019 capital raises, investment in California subsidiaries and contributions by non-controlling interests.

 

Material Capital Expenditure Commitments

 

The Company has upcoming capital commitments:

 

Remaining construction of three remaining dispensaries in Puerto Rico  $600,000 
Purchase of building in Puerto Rico  $1,000,000 
Purchase of equipment, furniture and fixtures and finish out of Palm Springs dispensary  $2,000,000 
Purchase of equipment in Point Arena  $500,000 

 

The capital committed is for construction of existing leased units in Puerto Rico, which are currently in different phases of construction. The Company estimates construction be completed by December 31, 2019. However, no assurance can be given. In May, 2018, the Company signed an option purchase agreement to acquire a building for a potential dispensary location in Condado, San Juan, Puerto Rico. The Company anticipates to execute the option and subsequently close on the purchase of the building on May 31, 2019. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will exercise its option, or that the purchase of the building will be completed. The Company plans to use current funds to complete construction of its dispensary locations in Puerto Rico. The Company estimates construction of Palm Springs dispensary to be completed in the fourth quarter 2019. However, no assurance can be given. The Company estimates purchase of equipment and beginning of operations of manufacturing in Point Arena to begin in the third quarter 2019. However, no assurance can be given. The Company has capital raises open for the Palm Springs dispensary and Point Arena manufacturing operation. To date, approximately $333,000 has been raised.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of March 31, 2019. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that our disclosure and controls are not designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (3) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.

 

Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2) and (3) above did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this quarterly report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
