1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Operations

 

LiquidValue Development Inc. (the “Company”), was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 10, 2009. On July 8, 2020 the Company changed its name from SeD Intelligent Home Inc. to LiquidValue Development Inc. Alset iHome Inc., a Delaware corporation, was incorporated on February 24, 2015 and was formerly known as SeD Home & REITs Inc. Alset iHome Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is principally engaged in developing, selling, managing, and leasing residential properties in the United States, and may expand from residential properties to other property types, including but not limited to commercial and retail properties. 99.99% of the Company’s common stock is owned by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alset International Limited (“Alset Ltd”), a multinational public company listed on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (“SGXST”).

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the following entities as of the reporting period ending dates and for the reporting periods as follows:

 

Name of consolidated subsidiary	State or other jurisdiction of incorporation or organization	Date of incorporation or formation	Attributable interest

SeD USA, LLC	Delaware	August 20, 2014	100%
150 Black Oak GP, Inc.	Texas	January 23, 2014	100%

Alset Solar Inc.	Texas	September 21, 2020	100%

 

All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Non–controlling interest represents the minority equity investment in the Company’s subsidiaries, plus the minority investors’ share of the net operating results and other components of equity relating to the non–controlling interest.

 

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the aggregate non-controlling interest in Alset iHome Inc. was $2,185,425 and $2,275,061, respectively, which is separately disclosed on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). 

 

The unaudited financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring items, which in the opinion of management are necessary to fairly state the financial position of the Company and the results of its operations for the periods presented. This report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed on March 30, 2020. The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read or have access to the audited financial statements for the preceding fiscal year and the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2019 was derived from the audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results for the year ending December 31, 2020.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company's significant estimates are the valuation of real estate. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Earnings (Loss) per Share

 

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to the common stockholders by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Fully diluted loss per share is computed similarly to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. There were no potentially dilutive financial instruments issued or outstanding for the periods ended September 30, 2020 or September 30, 2019.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

For purpose of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation. The carrying amount of the Company’s short-term financial instruments approximates fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

 

Restricted Cash

 

As a condition to the loan agreement with the Union Bank (formerly known as Xenith Bank, f/k/a The Bank of Hampton Roads), the Company was required to maintain a minimum of $2,600,000 in an interest-bearing account maintained by the lender as additional security for the loan. The funds were required to remain as collateral for the loan until the loan is paid off in full. The loan was fully paid off in January 2019 and the collateral was released on April 19, 2019.

 

On April 17, 2019, SeD Maryland Development, LLC entered into a Development Loan Agreement with Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (“M&T Bank”). Based on the agreement, SeD Maryland Development is required to maintain a minimum balance of $2,600,000 as a security collateral fund in the interest-bearing account maintained by the lender. As part of the agreement, NVR deposits funds to M&T Bank directly from lot sales and keeps any overpayment to apply to future borrowings. On September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the total restricted cash held by M&T Bank was $4,106,497 and $4,229,149, respectively.

  

On July 20, 2018, Black Oak Ltd. received $4,592,079 of district reimbursement for previous construction costs incurred in land development. Of this amount, $1,650,000 will remain on deposit in the District’s Capital Projects Fund for the benefit of Black Oak Ltd. and will be released upon receipt of the evidence of: (a) the execution of a purchase agreement between Black Oak Ltd. and a home builder with respect to the Black Oak development and (b) the completion, finishing and readying for home construction of at least 105 unfinished lots in the Black Oak development. The restricted cash balance on September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $0 and $90,394, respectively.

 

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable include all receivables from buyers, contractors and all other parties. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts based on a review of the outstanding receivables, historical collection information and economic conditions. No allowance was necessary at either September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

 

Property and Equipment and Depreciation

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major additions and betterments that extend the useful life or functionality are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method (after taking into account their respective estimated residual values) over the estimated useful lives, which are 3 years.

 

Real Estate Assets

 

Real estate assets are recorded at cost, except when real estate assets are acquired that meet the definition of a business combination in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” which acquired assets are recorded at fair value. Interest, property taxes, insurance and other incremental costs (including salaries) directly related to a project are capitalized during the construction period of major facilities and land improvements. The capitalization period begins when activities to develop the parcel commence and ends when the asset constructed is completed. The capitalized costs are recorded as part of the asset to which they relate and are reduced when lots are sold.

 

The Company capitalized interest from related party borrowings of $0 and $79,662 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company capitalized interest from related party borrowings of $0 for both, the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. The Company capitalized interest from the third-party borrowings of $0 and $3,822 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company capitalized interest from the third-party borrowings of $0 for both the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

    

In addition to our annual assessment of potential triggering events in accordance with ASC 360, the Company applies a fair-value based impairment test to the net book value assets on an annual basis and on an interim basis, if certain events or circumstances indicate that an impairment loss may have occurred.

 

On October 12, 2018, 150 CCM Black Oak, Ltd. entered into an Amended and Restated Purchase and Sale Agreement for 124 lots. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Purchase and Sale Agreement, the purchase price remained $6,175,000. 150 CCM Black Oak, Ltd. was required to meet certain closing conditions and the timing for the closing was extended. On January 18, 2019, the sale of 124 lots at the Company’s Black Oak project in Magnolia, Texas was completed. After allocating costs of revenue to this sale, we had estimated a loss of $2.4 million which was recorded as an impairment of real estate in the last quarter of 2018.

 

On September 30, 2019, the Company recorded approximately $4.7 million of impairment on the Black Oak project based on discounted estimated future cash flows.

 

On December 31, 2019, the Company recorded approximately $1.2 million of additional impairment on the Black Oak project based on discounted estimated future cash flows. 

 

The Company did not record impairment on any of its projects during the three and nine months ended on September 30, 2020.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity's contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The Company adopted this new standard on January 1, 2018 under the modified retrospective method. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

 

 

In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services. The provisions of ASC 606 include a five-step process by which we determine revenue recognition, depicting the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts reflecting the payment to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 requires us to apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, we satisfy the performance obligation. A detailed breakdown of the five-step process for the revenue recognition of our Ballenger and Black Oak projects, which were essentially all of the revenue of the Company in 2020 and 2019, is as follows:

 

 

The Company has signed agreements with the builders for developing the raw land to ready to build lots. The contract has agreed upon prices, timelines, and specifications for what is to be provided.

 

  

Performance obligations of the Company include delivering developed lots to the customer, which are required to meet certain specifications that are outlined in the contract. The customer inspects all lots prior to accepting title to ensure all specifications are met.

 

  

The transaction price is fixed and specified in the contract. Any subsequent change orders or price changes are required to be approved by both parties.

 

 

Each lot or a group of lots is considered to be a separate performance obligation, for which the specified price in the contract is allocated to.

 

 

The builders do the inspections to make sure all conditions/requirements are met before taking title of lots. The Company recognizes revenue when title is transferred. The Company does not have further performance obligations once title is transferred.

 

Sale of the Front Foot Benefit Assessments.

 

We have established a front foot benefit (“FFB”) assessment on all of the lots sold to NVR. This is a 30-year annual assessment allowed in Frederick County which requires homeowners to reimburse the developer for the costs of installing public water and sewer to the lots. These assessments become effective as homes are settled, at which time we can sell the collection rights to investors who will pay an upfront lump sum, enabling us to more quickly realize the revenue. The selling prices range from $3,000 to $4,500 per home depending the type of the home. Our total expected revenue from the front foot benefit assessment is approximately $1 million. To recognize revenue of the FFB assessment, both our and NVR’s performance obligations have to be satisfied. Our performance obligation is completed once we complete the construction of water and sewer facilities and close the lot sales with NVR, which inspects these water and sewer facilities prior to the close of lot sales to ensure all specifications are met. NVR’s performance obligation is to sell homes they build to homeowners. Our FFB revenue is recognized upon NVR’s sales of homes to homeowners. The agreement with these FFB investors is not subject to amendment by regulatory agencies and thus our revenue from FFB assessment is not either. During the nine months ended on September 30, 2020 and 2019, we recognized revenue in the amounts of $169,349 and $365,645 from FFB assessments, respectively. During the three months ended on September 30, 2020 and 2019, we recognized revenue in the amounts of $54,147 and $129,031 from FFB assessments, respectively.

 

 

Cost of Sales

 

Land acquisition costs are allocated to each lot based on the area method, the size of the lot comparing to the total size of all lots in the project. Development costs and capitalized interest are allocated to lots sold based on the total expected development and interest costs of the completed project and allocating a percentage of those costs based on the selling price of the sold lot compared to the expected sales values of all lots in the project.

 

If allocation of development costs and capitalized interest based on the projection and relative expected sales value is impracticable, those costs could also be allocated based on area method, the size of the lot comparing to the total size of all lots in the project.

  

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. ASU 2109-12 eliminates certain exceptions to the guidance in Topic 740 related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new guidance also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes, enacted change in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently in the process of evaluating the effect that ASU 2019-12 will have on the Company's Consolidated Financial Results.

  

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Amendments to SEC paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 118.” ASU 2018-05 amends the Accounting Standards Codification to incorporate various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of SAB 118, which addresses the application of generally accepted accounting principles in situations when a registrant does not have necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computation) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company.

 

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law in March 2020. The CARES Act lifts certain deduction limitations originally imposed by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“2017 Tax Act”). Corporate taxpayers may carryback net operating losses (NOLs) originating between 2018 and 2020 for up to five years, which was not previously allowed under the 2017 Tax Act. The CARES Act also eliminates the 80% of taxable income limitations by allowing corporate entities to fully utilize NOL carryforwards to offset taxable income in 2018, 2019 or 2020. Taxpayers may generally deduct interest up to the sum of 50% of adjusted taxable income plus business interest income (30% limit under the 2017 Tax Act) for 2019 and 2020. The CARES Act allows taxpayers with alternative minimum tax credits to claim a refund in 2020 for the entire amount of the credits instead of recovering the credits through refunds over a period of years, as originally enacted by the 2017 Tax Act.

 

In addition, the CARES Act raises the corporate charitable deduction limit to 25% of taxable income and makes qualified improvement property generally eligible for 15-year cost-recovery and 100% bonus depreciation. The enactment of the CARES Act did not result in any material adjustments to our income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, or to our net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2020.

Revenue

 

Revenue was $4,160,132 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to $4,938,018 for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Revenue was $9,161,926 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to $21,509,198 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This decrease in revenue is caused by a decrease in property sales from the Ballenger and Black Oak projects in the first nine months of 2020. The reduction in sales for the Ballenger project is caused by the lack of paved lot inventory, which we are currently working on. The reduction in sales for Black Oak in the first nine months of 2020 relative to the first nine months of 2019 is due to a one-time sale of $6,175,000 having occurred in 2019.

 

Cost of Sales

 

The sales in the first nine months of 2019 were attributable to sales from Ballenger project and Black Oak project. All property sales revenue in the three months ended on September 30, 2019 came from Ballenger project. The gross margin ratios for Ballenger project in these periods were approximately 16% and 0% for Black Oak project after the recognition of impairment charges on Black Oak project in 2018. All the sales in the three and nine months ended on September 30, 2020 were attributable to sales from Ballenger project and the gross margins were approximately 13%. The different types of lots usually have different gross margins, the main reason which leads to the differences in 2019 and 2020.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses increased from $213,413 in the three months ended September 30, 2019 to $226,864 in the three months ended September 30, 2020. General and administrative expenses increased from $700,158 in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to $734,131 in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in those expenses is caused mainly by the increase in the franchise tax fees and professional fees as well as expenses for set up and initial operations of Homeowners Association in Black Oak project in the first quarter of 2020.

 

Net Income

 

In the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company had net income of $156,704 compared to net loss of $4,345,136 in the three months ended September 30, 2019. In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company had net income of $289,942 compared to net loss of $3,496,322 in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in net income was caused by the impairment of $4,725,275 recorded on Black Oak project’s net book value in 2019.

 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our real estate assets have increased to $25,395,458 as of September 30, 2020 from $24,858,569 as of December 31, 2019. This increase is a result of capitalized costs related to the construction in progress being greater than the cost of sales related to construction in progress during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

  

Our liabilities increased from $4,065,484 at December 31, 2019 to $4,552,522 at September 30, 2020. Our total assets have increased to $31,373,812 as of September 30, 2020 from $30,785,232 as of December 31, 2019 due to the increase of the real estate assets.

 

As of September 30, 2020, we had cash of $929,611 and restricted cash of $4,106,497 compared to $1,083,329 and $4,319,543 as of December 31, 2019.

 

Our Ballenger Run project has a revolver loan from M&T Bank in the principal amount not to exceed at any one time outstanding the sum of $8,000,000, with a cumulative loan advance amount of $18,500,000. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the revolver loan balance was $0, respectively.

 

On June 18, 2020, Alset iHome Inc. (formerly known as SeD Home & REITs Inc.) entered into a Loan Agreement with M&T Bank. Pursuant to this Loan Agreement, M&T Bank provided a non-revolving loan to Alset iHome Inc. in an aggregate amount of up to $2,990,000. As of September 30, 2020, the M&T loan balance was $670,281. It is intended that this loan will be utilized to commence our residential initiatives.

 

On April 6, 2020, SeD Development Management LLC, one of our subsidiaries, entered into a term note with M&T Bank with a principal amount of $68,502 pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP Term Note”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The PPP Loan is evidenced by a promissory note. The PPP Term Note bears interest at a fixed annual rate of 1.00%, with the first ten months of principal and interest deferred, or until we apply for the loan forgiveness with the lender. Beginning in March 2021, SeD Development Management LLC will make 18 equal monthly payments of principal and interest with the final payment due in August 2022. The PPP Term Note may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default.

 

The PPP Term Note is unsecured and guaranteed by the United States Small Business Administration. SeD Development Management LLC may apply to M&T Bank for forgiveness of the PPP Term Note, with the amount which may be forgiven equal to the sum of payroll costs, covered rent and mortgage obligations, and covered utility payments incurred by SeD Development Management LLC during the eight-week period beginning upon receipt of PPP Term Note funds, calculated in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act. During the relevant eight-week term, our payroll did not experience any material change from prior periods. Our loan balance under the PPP loan was $68,502 as of September 30, 2020.

 

Our subsidiaries are reviewing plans for potential additional fundraising to fund single family rental operations and the acquisition of additional real estate projects.

 

The future development timeline of Black Oak will be based on multiple conditions, including the amount of funds which may be raised from capital markets, the loans we may secure from third party financial institutions, and government reimbursements which may be received. The development will be step by step and expenses will be contingent on the amount of funding we will receive.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

 

Cash flows from operating activities include costs related to assets ultimately planned to be sold, including land development. In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, cash used in operating activities was $842,286 compared to cash of $10,747,968 provided by in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The sales of the Ballenger and Black Oak lots in the nine months of 2019 are the main reason of increase of the cash provided by the operating activities. In January 2019 we sold 124 lots in phase one of Black Oak project which contributed to increased cash provided by in nine months ended September 30, 2019. With the completion of the part of phase one of Black Oak project, development speed was adjusted. No Black Oak lot was sold in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in sales and increase in development costs from Ballenger project were the main reason for the increase of the cash used in the operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

   

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

 

Cash flows used in investing activities in nine months ended September 30, 2020 include purchases of office computer equipment.

 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

 

In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company distributed $197,400 in cash to the minority shareholder and borrowed $738,783 in bank loans. In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company repaid $13,899 to the Union Bank loan, distributed $740,250 in cash to the minority shareholder and repaid approximately $5.7 million of related party borrowings.

 

Seasonality

 

The real estate business is subject to seasonal shifts in costs as certain work is more likely to be performed at certain times of year. This may impact the expenses of Alset iHome Inc. from time to time. In addition, should we commence building homes, we are likely to experience periodic spikes in sales as we commence the sales process at a particular location.

 

Impact of Recent Public Health Events

 

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the United States. The COVID-19 pandemic, or other adverse public health developments, could have a material and adverse effect on our business operations.

 

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a material impact on our operations. However, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and the related economic decline that occurred in the United States in March of 2020 may impact our business in the future will depend on developments which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. The COVID-19 pandemic’s far-reaching impact on the global economy could negatively affect various aspects of our business, including demand for real estate. From March through September 2020, we continued to sell lots at our Ballenger Run project (in Maryland) for the construction of homes to NVR. To date, sales of such homes by NVR are up in 2020 compared to the first nine months of 2019. Such homes are often a first home that generally did not require buyers to sell an existing home. We believe low interest rates have encouraged home sales. Many buyers opted to see home models at the project virtually. This technology allowed them to ask questions of sales staff and see the homes. Home closings were able to occur electronically.

 

We have received strong indications that buyers and renters across the country are expressing interest in moving from more densely populated urban areas to the suburbs. We believe that our Ballenger Run project is well suited and positioned to accommodate those buyers. Our latest phase for sale at Ballenger Run, involving single-family homes, has seen a high number of interested potential buyers signing up for additional information and updates on home availability.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic could impact the ability of our staff and contractors to continue to work, and our ability to conduct our operations in a prompt and efficient manner. We have experienced a slowdown in the planned construction of a clubhouse at the Ballenger Run project which was completed behind schedule. We believe this delay was caused in part by policies requiring lower numbers of contractors working in indoor spaces.  

 

 

The COVID-19 pandemic may adversely impact the timeliness of local government in granting required approvals. Accordingly, COVID-19 may cause the completion of important stages in our real estate projects to be delayed.

 

At our Black Oak project in Texas, we have strategically redesigned the lots over the past year for a smaller “starter home” products that we believe will be more resilient in fluctuating markets. Should we initiate sales at Black Oak, we believe the same implications described above regarding our Ballenger Run project may apply to our Black Oak project (including the general trend of customers’ interest shifting from urban to suburban areas). In addition, Houston and its surrounding areas have been economically impacted by the decline in energy prices in 2020. Unlike our Ballenger Run project, our Black Oak project may include our involvement in single family rental home development.

 

Impact on Staff

 

Most of our staff works out of our Bethesda, Maryland office. Our staff has shifted to mostly working from home since March 2020, but this has had minimal impact on our operations to date. The COVID-19 pandemic has also impacted the frequency with which our management would otherwise travel to the Black Oaks project; however, we have a contractor in Texas providing supervision of the project. Management continues to regularly supervise the Ballenger Run project. Limitations on the mobility of our management and staff may slow down our ability to enter into new transactions and expand existing projects.

 

We have not reduced our staff in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. To date, we did not have to expend significant resources related to employee health and safety matters related to the COVID-19 pandemic. We have a small staff, however, and the inability of any significant number of our staff to work due to illness or the illness of a family member could adversely impact our operations.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of September 30, 2020, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined under applicable SEC rules.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officers, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SECs”) rules and forms and 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 Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

(b) Changes in the Company’s Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarterly period ended September 30, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
