NOTE 1 -ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Organization and Operations

 

iQSTEL Inc. (“iQSTEL”, “we”, “us”, or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 24, 2011 under the name of PureSnax International, Inc. and changed its name to iQSTEL Inc. on August 7, 2018.

 

The Company has been engaged in the business of telecommunication services as a wholesale carrier of voice and data for other telecom companies around the World with more than 150 active interconnection agreements with mobile companies, fix line companies and other wholesale carriers.

 

On April 1, 2019, the Company entered into a Company Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and between the Company and the Ralf Kohler (the “Seller”), which agreement provides for the purchase of 51% of the equity and certain assets of SwissLink Carrier AG (“SwissLink”) (www.swisslink-carrier.com), a Swiss corporation, by the Company.

 

The consideration for the acquisition consists of $500,000 USD, payable as follows:

 

$50,000 USD shall be paid in cash upon execution of the Purchase Agreement; and  

 

The balance of $450,000 USD shall be paid at Closing in the form of 187,500 shares of common stock in the Company based upon an agreed upon price of $2.40 per share. Additional shares may be payable at Closing, if the Company’s stock is valued at less than $2.40 per share, to account for the full $450,000 USD.  

 

On August 7, 2019, having completed all conditions under the Purchase Agreement, the Company closed the transaction with Seller, and paid $50,000 and issued a total of 343,512 shares of common stock at $1.31 per share to the Seller for the 51% equity interest and certain assets in SwissLink, including 51% of the loan in SwissLink.

 

The payment for the acquisition of SwissLink Carrier AG, was agreed to be done with $50,000 in cash and the balance of $450,000 in common shares of iQSTEL with an initial price per share of $2.40; giving us a number of 187,500 shares ($450,000 / 2.40 $ per shares = 187,500 shares) to be issue; but the purchase agreement included a clause to adjust the number of shares to be ultimately issued if the price of the shares was less than $2.40 at the closing date. Since at the closing date the price of the shares was $1.31 the total shares to be issued to the Seller should be 343,512, and this was the total shares finally issue to the Seller.

 

SwissLink Carrier AG is a provider of international telephone traffic around the globe, which trades international VoIP (voice over IP) telephone minutes through its Software Management platform named VAMP.

NOTE 2 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP in the United States of America 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. The estimates and judgments will also affect the reported amounts for certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these good faith estimates and judgments.

 

Business Combinations

 

In accordance with ASC 805-10, “Business Combinations”, the Company accounts for all business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, assets and liabilities, including any remaining non-controlling interests, are recognized at fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interests is recognized as goodwill. Certain adjustments to the assessed fair values of the assets, liabilities, or non-controlling interests made subsequent to the acquisition date, but within the measurement period, which is up to one year, are recorded as adjustments to goodwill. Any adjustments subsequent to the measurement period are recorded in income. Any cost or equity method interest that the Company holds in the acquired company prior to the acquisition is re-measured to fair value at acquisition with a resulting gain or loss recognized in income for the difference between fair value and the existing book value. Results of operations of the acquired entity are included in the Company’s results from the date of the acquisition onward and include amortization expense arising from acquired tangible and intangible assets.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts

 

Substantially all of the Company’s accounts receivable balance is related to trade receivables. Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts daily, past due balances over 60 days and a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectability. Account balances are charged off after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of September 30, 2019 the Company had no valuation allowance for doubtful accounts for the Company’s accounts receivable and recorded no bad debt expense.

 

Foreign Currency Translation and Re-measurement

 

The Company translates its foreign operations to U.S. dollar in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”.

 

The Company’s and Etelix’s functional currency and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, SwissLink’s functional currency is the Swiss Franc (“CHF”).

 

The Company’s subsidiaries, whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, translate their records into U.S. dollar as follows:

 

Assets and liabilities at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date 

 

Equities at historical rate 

 

Revenue and expense items at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period 

 

Adjustments arising from such translations are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity.

NOTE 2 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Impairment of tangible and intangible assets

 

Tangible and intangible assets (excluding goodwill) are assessed at each reporting date for indications that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company makes an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount. The asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or cash-generating unit's fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or a group of assets exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or the group of assets.

 

An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in profit or loss. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset's revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.

 

Goodwill

 

We allocate goodwill to reporting units based on the reporting unit expected to benefit from the business combination. We evaluate our reporting units on an annual basis and, if necessary, reassign goodwill using a relative fair value allocation approach. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, or sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit.

 

Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting units, and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. The fair value of each reporting unit is estimated primarily through the use of a discounted cash flow methodology. This analysis requires significant judgments, including estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for our business, estimation of the useful life over which cash flows will occur, and determination of our weighted average cost of capital.

 

The estimates used to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit change from year to year based on operating results, market conditions, and other factors. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and goodwill impairment for each reporting unit.

 

Retirement Benefit Costs

 

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due. Payments made to state-managed retirement benefit schemes are dealt with as payments to defined contribution schemes where the Company’s obligations under the schemes are equivalent to those arising in a defined contribution retirement benefit scheme.

 

For defined benefit schemes, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at each balance sheet date. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in full in the period in which they occur. They are recognized outside the income statement and are presented in other comprehensive income. Past service cost is recognized immediately in the income statement in the period in which it occurs.

 

The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the balance sheet represents the present value of the defined obligation as adjusted for unrecognized past service cost, and as reduced by the fair value of the scheme assets. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to past service cost, plus the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the scheme.

NOTE 2 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of its cash and cash equivalents and related party payables that it will likely incur in the near future. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high creditworthiness. At times, its cash and cash equivalents with a particular financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, six customers represented 79% of our revenues and four customers represented 64% of our revenues, respectively.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The Company recognizes revenue only when all of the following criteria have been met:

 

Identify the contract(s) with a customer  

Identify the performance obligations in the contract  

Determine the transaction price.  

Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.  

Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.  

 

The Company recognizes revenue related to monthly usage charges and other recurring charges during the period in which the telecommunication services are rendered. Provided that persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement existed, and collection was reasonably assured. Persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement existed upon execution of a written interconnection agreement. The Company’s payment terms vary by clients.

 

Lease

 

The office lease meets the definition of a short-term lease because the lease term is 12 months or less. Consequently, consistent with Company’s accounting policy election, the Company does not recognize the right-of-use asset and the lease liability arising from this lease.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued since the last audit of our financial statements. The Company’s management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company does not have significant cash, nor does it have an established source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. In addition, as of September 30, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $7,710,046, and a net loss of $5,026,990 and a net cash used in operating activities of $1,331,051 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN (CONTINUED)

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish its business plan and eventually attain profitable operations.

 

During the next year, the Company’s foreseeable cash requirements will relate to continual development of the operations of its business, maintaining its good standing and marketing expenses. The Company may experience a cash shortfall and be required to raise additional capital.

 

Historically, the Company has relied upon funds from its stockholders. Management may raise additional capital through future public or private offerings of the Company’s stock or through loans from private investors, although there can be no assurance that it will be able to obtain such financing. The Company’s failure to do so could have a material and adverse effect upon its operations and its stockholders.

 

NOTE 4 - ACQUISTION

 

On April 1, 2019, iQSTEL Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Company Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and between the Company and the Ralf Kohler (the “Seller”), which agreement provides for the purchase of 51% of the equity and certain assets of SwissLink Carrier AG (“SwissLink”) (www.swisslink-carrier.com), a Swiss corporation, by the Company for a consideration of $500,000.

 

On August 7, 2019, having completed all conditions under the Purchase Agreement, the Company closed the transaction with Seller, and paid $50,000 and issued a total of 343,512 shares of common stock at $1.31 per share to the Seller for the 51% equity interest and certain assets in SwissLink, including 51% of the loan in SwissLink.

Terms ranging from 9 months to 12 months.  

Annual interest rates ranging from of 10% to 12%.  

Convertible at the option of the holders at issuance.  

Conversion prices are typically based on the discounted (50% discount) lowest trading prices of the Company’s shares during various periods prior to conversion.  

 

Certain notes allow the Company to redeem the notes at rates ranging from 130% to 150% depending on the redemption date provided that no redemption is allowed after the 180th day. Likewise, the notes include financing costs totaling $12,250 and the Company received cash of $201,500.

 

Promissory Notes - Issued in fiscal year 2019

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company issued a total of $2,294,250 in notes with the following terms:

 

Terms ranging from 6 months to 3 years.  

Annual interest rates ranging from of 8% to 12%.  

Convertible at the option of the holders at issuance or 180 days from issuance.  

Conversion prices are typically based on the discounted (39% or 50% discount) lowest trading prices of the Company’s shares during various periods prior to conversion.  

 

The convertible notes were also provided with a total of 661,216 common shares and warrant to purchase up to 92,000 shares of common stock at exercise price of $2.5 per share for 3 years.

 

Certain notes allow the Company to redeem the notes at rates ranging from 110% to 150% depending on the redemption date provided that no redemption is allowed after the 180th day. Likewise, the notes include original issue discount and financing costs totaling $236,000 and the Company received cash of $2,058,250.

 

Derivative liabilities

 

The Company determined that the conversion option in the note and the exercise feature of the warrants met the definition of a liability in accordance with ASC Topic No. 815 - 40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Stock. The Company will bifurcate the embedded conversion option in the note once the note becomes convertible and account for it as a derivative liability.

 

The Company valued the conversion features using the Black Scholes valuation model. The fair value of the derivative liability for all the note that became convertible for the year ended December 31, 2018 amounted to $896,593. $201,500 of the value assigned to the derivative liability was recognized as a debt discount to the notes while the balance of $695,093 was recognized as a “day 1” derivative loss.

 

The Company valued the conversion features of convertible notes and warrant using the Black Scholes valuation model. The fair value of the derivative liability for all the note and warrant that became convertible for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 amounted to $4,067,649. $1,005,350 of the value assigned to the derivative liability was recognized as a debt discount to the notes while the balance of $3,062,299 was recognized as a “day 1” derivative loss.

NOTE 10 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

 

The Company analyzed the conversion option for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and hedging, and determined that the instrument should be classified as a liability since the conversion option becomes effective at issuance resulting in there being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of the above conversion options.

 

Fair Value Assumptions Used in Accounting for Derivative Liabilities.

 

ASC 815 requires we assess the fair market value of derivative liability at the end of each reporting period and recognize any change in the fair market value as other income or expense item.

 

The Company determined our derivative liabilities to be a Level 3 fair value measurement and used the Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair value as of September 30, 2019. The Black-Scholes model requires six basic data inputs: the exercise or strike price, time to expiration, the risk-free interest rate, the current stock price, the estimated volatility of the stock price in the future, and the dividend rate. Changes to these inputs could produce a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The fair value of each convertible note is estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the estimated fair values of the liabilities measured on a recurring basis are as follows:

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions.

Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview

 

We are a technology company offering a wide array of services to the telecommunications and internet industry. We currently offer, through our wholly owned subsidiaries, Etelix.com USA LLC and SwissLink Carrier AG, international long-distance voice services for telecommunications operators (ILD Wholesale), and submarine fiber optic network capacity for Internet (4G and 5G).

In addition to pursuing the growth and development of the business of our subsidiaries, we plan to expand our services to the retail market offering international long-distance voice communications to corporate, small business and individuals (ILD retail), supported in part on our current infrastructure.

 

We are also exploring opportunities in new business areas and markets, such as satellite communications; mobile services under the figure of a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO); Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and Data Centers. We expect that these new ventures will be developed either through mergers or acquisitions, or through strategic partnerships.

Results of Operations

 

Revenues

 

Our total revenue reported for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $4,172,547, compared with $3,794,359 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Our total revenue reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $12,589,109, compared with $9,675,194 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

 

These numbers reflect an increase of 130.12% month over month primarily from the continuity of our commercial strategy put in place since the beginning of year 2018.

 

If net revenues continue growing at a similar rates for the next three months, we believe that the company will reach a total revenue of approximately $17 million by December 31, 2019.

Cost of Revenues

 

Our total cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2019 increased to $3,929,137, compared with $3,531,877 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Our total cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased to $12,001,850, compared with $8,722,576 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

 

Our cost of revenues consists of direct charges from vendors that the Company incurs to deliver services to its customers. These costs primarily consist of usage charges for calls terminated in vendor’s network.

 

The increase results from a higher volume of minutes of African destinations, which rates are on average 9 times higher compared to the average rates of the rest of the World. This behavior in the costs shows a logical correlation with the behavior of the revenue commented above.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses increased to $492,782 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $195,884 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Operating expenses increased to $1,024,842 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $654,609 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The detail by major category for the nine month ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 is reflected in the table below.

The main reasons for the overall increase in operating expenses in 2019 were: (1) the Salaries, Wages and Benefits of $245,077; (2) Public cost of $27,521; (3) Professional Fees of $67,452 and (4) Advertising and Promotion of $50,000.

 

The increment in Salaries, Wages and Benefits is the result of the adjustment done in the employment agreements of Leandro Iglesias, Alvaro Quintana and Juan Carlos Lopez starting on May 2, 2019.

Legal and Consulting expenses for the nine months period ended September 30, 2019 includes all legal services related to the process of the acquisition of SwissLink Carrier AG of . This includes a complete due diligence of the acquired party and the preparation of all transaction documents and public filings.

 

Item Public Cost corresponds to all expenses and fees related to the EDGAR agent for all filings; Transfer Agent and Dynamic Web Content Services related to our stock made available in our Web site.

 

Item Advertising corresponds to the third-party consultancy that will be responsible for the design and implementation of a Social Media communication strategy oriented to build and enhance our companies and brand’s image. This consultancy is planned to begin once the Offering Statement be qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

All other items were stable from one year to the other, which allows us to affirm that the cost structure of the company is under control and supervision.

 

Operating Income

 

The Company showed negative Operating Income for the three months ended September 30, 2019 of $249,372 compared with a positive result of $66,598 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The Company showed negative Operating Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 of $437,583 compared with a positive result of $298,009 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

 

The increase of the numbers for the nine month period above is primarily due to the costs associated to the operation of the public entity (iQSTEL, Inc.) estimated in the amount of $577,269. When we look at the results of our operating entities Etelix.com USA, LLC and SwissLink Carrier AG, the Operating Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is $139,686.

 

It is important to remark that iQSTEL is in its first year of operations since the acquisition of Etelix.com USA, LLC; and during this period the company has incurred in high costs related to its reorganization, the preparation of the offering statement and due diligence activities related to the execution of the merge and acquisitions strategy.

 

Other Expenses/Other Income

 

We had other expenses of $3,268,651 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared with other expenses of $570,193 for the same period ended 2018. We had other expenses of $4,590,259 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared with other expenses of $730,729 for the same period ended 2018. The increase in other expenses is a result of the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $2,353,235,671, and the increase of interest expenses to $1,785,629 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $277,324 for the same period ended 2018.

 

Net Loss

 

We finished the three months ended September 30, 2019 with a loss of $3,532,839, as compared to a loss of $503,595 during the three months ended September 30, 2018. We finished the nine months ended September 30, 2019 with a loss of $5,042,658, as compared to loss of $432,720 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

 

The reasons for specific components are discussed above. Overall, these are the main concepts impacting the net result: (1) a loss in the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $2,353,235; (2) an increment in interest expenses of $1,508,305 year over year and (3) the Operating Expenses of the public entity of $577,269.


22


 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2019, we had total current assets of $3,425,780 and current liabilities of $10,855,360, resulting in a working capital deficit of $7,429,580. This compares with the working capital deficit of $1,882,754 at December 31, 2018. This increase in working capital deficit, as discussed in more detail below, is primarily the result of the increment in the derivative liabilities.

 

Our operating activities used $1,331,051 in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared with $227,062 used in operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

 

Investing activities provided $215,016 in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared with and use of fundos of $426 in the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

 

Financing activities provided $1,327,978 in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared with $222,289 provided in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Our positive financing cash flow in 2019 was largely the result of the proceeds from loans, capital contributions and proceeds from convertible notes.

 

Based upon our current financial condition, we do not have sufficient cash to operate our business at the current level for the next twelve months. We intend to fund operations through increased sales and debt and/or equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund expenditures or other cash requirements. We plan to seek additional financing in a private equity offering to secure funding for operations. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional funding. If we are not able to secure additional funding, the implementation of our business plan will be impaired. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.

 

Inflation

 

Although our operations are influenced by general economic conditions, we do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our results of operations during the three month period ended September 30, 2019.

 

Critical Accounting Polices

 

In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our critical accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 of our audited consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of September 30, 2019, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The recent accounting pronouncements that are material to our financial statements are disclosed in Note 2 of our consolidated audited financial statements included in the Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in Note 2 of our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

We are a smaller reporting company and are not required to provide the information under this item pursuant to Regulation S-K.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures - Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report.

 

These controls are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


23


 

 

Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2019.

 

We believe that our financial statements presented in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for all periods presented herein.

 

Inherent Limitations - Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. 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. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdown can occur because of simple error or mistake. In particular, many of our current processes rely upon manual reviews and processes to ensure that neither human error nor system weakness has resulted in erroneous reporting of financial data.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting - There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three month period ended September 30, 2019, which were identified in conjunction with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
