NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Organization and Nature of Operations:

Business Description – Business Activity: Medicine Man Technologies Inc. (the "Company") is a Nevada corporation incorporated on March 20, 2014. The Company is a cannabis consulting company providing services related to cost-efficient cannabis cultivation technologies focusing on quality as well as safety, retail operations related to the delivery of cannabis related products, and other related business lines as described in our operating strategic vision outlined below.

Cash Flows – During the quarters ending March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company primarily utilized cash and cash equivalents, long-term convertible debt and revenue from operations to fund its operations.

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date. The Company had $382,585 and $748,715 classified as cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, respectively.

The Company has recently elected to accelerate its organic growth path through additional marketing, team development, intelligent acquisition, and other corporate activities wherein it expects to generate negative cash flow and an additional demand for capital to fuel such growth as described in it subsequent events notes.

Basis of Presentation: These accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for annual financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements: Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Our financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, note receivable, accounts payables and tenant deposits. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. The carrying amount of our debt approximates fair value because the interest rates on these instruments approximate the interest rate on debt with similar terms available to us. Our derivative liability was adjusted to fair market value at the end of each reporting period, using Level 3 inputs.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be based upon amounts that differ from these estimates.

Accounts receivable: The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business. Accounts receivable related to licensing and consulting revenues are recorded at the time the milestone result in the funds being due being achieved, services are delivered, and payment is reasonably assured. Licensing and consulting revenues are generally collected from 30 to 60 days after the invoice is sent. As of March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, the Company had accounts receivable of $528,235 and $487,062, respectively. The company wrote off $0 of its accounts receivable in 2018. Due to the low volume of write offs, the Company uses the direct write off method versus having an allowance for uncollectible debts.

Short term note receivable: In July 2016, the Company executed a non-binding Term Sheet to acquire Capital G Ltd, an Ohio limited liability company and its three wholly owned subsidiary companies, Funk Sac LLC, Commodogy LLC, and OdorNo LLC, The agreement was subject to the Company’s due diligence as well as execution of definitive agreements. In January 2017, the parties agreed not to proceed with this transaction. As part of the terms of the term sheet the Company agreed to loan Capital G the principal balance of $250,000 pursuant to the terms of a convertible note which accrues interest at the rate of 12% per annum and which became due November 1, 2017. As of March 31, 2018, this note has not been repaid when it became due. The Company is currently in negotiations with Capital G about repayment terms. As of March 31, 2018, the Company has reserved 35% or $102,906 of this balance. The Company had $198,508 and $191,111 classified as short-term note receivable as of March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Other assets (current and non-current): Other assets at March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017 were $99,287 and $57,319, respectively and as of March 31, 2018 this balance included $74,787 in prepaid expenses and $24,500 in two security deposits.

Accounts payable: Accounts payable at March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017 was $42,110 and $278,428, respectively and were comprised of operating accounts payable for various professional services incurred during the ordinary course of business.

Other liabilities: Other liabilities at March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017 were $38,058 and $56,495, respectively. At March 31, 2018, this was comprised of $4,329 in sales tax payable and $33,729 in deferred rent expense.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The carrying amounts of cash and current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these items. These fair value estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates. Available for sale securities are recorded at current market value as of the date of this report.

Revenue recognition and related allowances: Revenue from cultivation max, licensing and consulting services is recognized when the obligations to the client are fulfilled which is determined when milestones in the contract are achieved. Revenue from seminar fees is related to one-day seminars and is recognized as earned at the completion of the seminar. Revenue from product sales either being nutrients or book sales are recognized when the goods are transferred. The Company also recognizes expense reimbursement from clients as revenue for expenses incurred during certain jobs.

Costs of Goods and Services Sold – Costs of goods and services sold are comprised of related expenses incurred while supporting the implementation and sales of Company’s products and services.

General & Administrative Expenses – General and administrative expense are comprised of all expenses not linked to the production or advertising of the Company’s services.

Advertising and Marketing Costs: Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred and were $49,144 and $33,484 during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Stock based compensation: The Company accounts for share-based payments pursuant to ASC 718, “Stock Compensation” and, accordingly, the Company records compensation expense for share-based awards based upon an assessment of the grant date fair value for stock and restricted stock awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Stock compensation expense for stock options is recognized over the vesting period of the award or expensed immediately under ASC 718 and EITF 96-18 when stock or options are awarded for previous or current service without further recourse. The Company issued stock options to contractors and external companies that had been providing services to the Company upon their termination of services. Under ASC 718 and EITF 96-18 these options were recognized as expense in the period issued because they were given as a form of payment for services already rendered with no recourse.

Share based expense paid to through direct stock grants is expensed as occurred. Since the Company’s stock has become publicly traded, the value is determined based on the number of shares issued and the trading value of the stock on the date of the transaction. Prior to the Company’s stock being traded the Company used the most recent valuation. The Company recognized $0 in expenses for stock-based compensation to employees and consultants during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Income taxes: The Company has adopted SFAS No. 109 – “Accounting for Income Taxes”. ASC Topic 740 requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC Topic 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Management fee contracts: In February 2017, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement with Pono Publications Ltd. (“Pono”), as well as a Share Exchange Agreement with Success Nutrients, Inc. (“SN”), each a Colorado corporation, in order to facilitate the acquisition of both of these entities. The ratification of the acquisition of these companies requires the approval of the holders of a majority of the Company’s shareholders, which was submitted for such approval at the Company’s annual shareholder meeting held on May 2017. The relevant agreements provide that the effective date for accounting purposes would be April 1, 2017. Success Nutrients became a wholly owned subsidiary of Medicine Man Technologies, Inc. and the business conducted by Pono was incorporated into a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary, Medicine Man Consulting, Inc., which is also where the Company will continue to conduct its consulting service business.

In March 2017, the Company integrated Pono Publications and Success Nutrients into its operations including a lease for approximately 10,000 square feet of space located at 6660 East 47th Street, Denver, CO 80216. This integration also included four (4) full time team members as well as several independent contractors. From April 1, 2017 to September 30, 2017 the Company has agreed to manage the acquirees through a management fee agreement whereby all cash collected was recognized as other income and all cash expenses were direct costs of the project. As of March 31, 2017, the management contract resulted in cash collections of approximately $100,000 and cash expenditures of approximately $170,000 resulting in a net loss of $70,257 which was presented on a net basis as a loss in the other income portion of the Company’s income statement. As of April 1, 2017, the Company’s consolidated financial statements included these two entities.

FASB ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” – In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle-based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 will require that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. The ASU also will require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein. Entities will be able to transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Upon adoption of this new standard, the Company believes that the timing of revenue recognition related to our consulting, licensing and product sales will remain consistent with our current practice. Because we do not anticipate a change in our pattern of revenue recognition, we anticipate that neither method will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

FASB ASU 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” – In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"). ASU 2016-02 increases transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring lessees to record right-to-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about lease arrangements. The new guidance will classify leases as either finance or operating (similar to current standard’s “capital” or “operating” classification), with classification affecting the pattern of income recognition in the statement of income. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-02 to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

FASB ASU 2017-01 “Clarifying the Definition of a Business (Topic 805)” – In January 2017, the FASB issued 2017-1. The new guidance that changes the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business. The guidance requires an entity to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; if so, the set of transferred assets and activities is not a business. The guidance also requires a business to include at least one substantive process and narrows the definition of outputs by more closely aligning it with how outputs are described in ASC 606. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within those years. Adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

FASB ASU 2016-15 “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230)” – In August 2016, the FASB issued 2016-15. Stakeholders indicated that there is a diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this ASU will not have a significant impact on our statement of cash flows.

FASB ASU 2016-11 “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)” – In May 2016, the FASB issued 2016-11, which clarifies guidance on assessing whether an entity is a principal or an agent in a revenue transaction. This conclusion impacts whether an entity reports revenue on a gross or net basis. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with the option to adopt as early as December 15, 2016. We are currently assessing the impact of adoption of this ASU on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

At December 31, 2017, the Company had 22,991,137 common shares outstanding.

During January 2018, the warrants that were approved by the Board on June 3, 2017 and issued on June 19, 2017 were all exercised during January of 2018.

Depreciation on equipment is provided on a straight-line basis over its expected useful lives at the following annual rates.

Depreciation expense for the twelve-month periods ending March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $19,591 and $10,177 respectively.

On May 1, 2014, the Company entered into a non-exclusive Technology License Agreement with Futurevision, Inc., f/k/a Medicine Man Production Corporation, a Colorado corporation, dba Medicine Man Denver (“Medicine Man Denver”), a company owned and controlled by affiliates of the Company, whereby Medicine Man Denver granted a license to use all of their proprietary processes they have developed, implemented and practiced at its cannabis facilities relating to the commercial growth, cultivation, marketing and distribution of medical marijuana and recreational marijuana pursuant to relevant state laws and the right to use and to license such information, including trade secrets, skills and experience (present and future). As payment for the license rights the Company issued Medicine Man Denver (or its designees) 5,331,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company accounted for this license in accordance with ASC 350-30-30 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other by recognizing the fair value of the amount paid by the company for the asset at the time of purchase. Since the Company has a limited operating history, management determined to use par value as the value recognized for the transaction. Since the term of the initial license agreement is ten (10) years, the cost of the asset will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the agreement. In addition, each period the Company will evaluate the intangible asset for impairment. As of December 31, 2014, no impairment was deemed necessary.

During 2017, the Company attained two intangible assets, Product Agreement & Registration and a Trade Secret. These two intangible assets were acquired due to the result of the acquisition of Success and Pono on September 30, 2017. Refer to the Note 9 for further explanation of the purchase price accounting. The Company’s procurement of product registration during the year was within five states and Canada. The Company’s product was registered in California, Oregon, Colorado, Michigan, Arizona, Washington and all of Canada. The registration allows the Company to sell their product within the confines of that region. The registration fees capitalized are the initial costs to obtain the license. The licenses have nominal annual renewal costs. These subscriptions are amortized over a 15-year period.

During 2017, the Company incurred an intangible asset due to the development of the products nutrient recipe. The nutrient recipe development was a one-time fee, paid to the Company’s developer. The intellectual property is amortized over a 15-year economic life of the asset. The economic life of the asset is shorter than the indefinite life considered the legal life of the assets so 15 years is deemed the economic life of the asset.

During 2017, the Company attained one additional intangible assets, Product Agreement & Registration. The Company’s procurement of product registration during the year was within seven states. The Company’s product was registered in Florida, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada and Ohio. The registration allows the Company to sell their product within the confines of that region. The registration fees capitalized are the initial costs to obtain the license. The licenses have nominal annual renewal costs. These subscriptions are amortized over a 15-year period.

Amortization expense for the periods ending March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $1,629 and $133, respectively.

In the year ended December 31, 2016 the Company raised $810,000 through a private placement of convertible promissory notes with certain accredited investors, bearing interest at 12%, with interest and principal due January 1, 2019. Upon issuance, each of the notes is immediately convertible at the noteholders election into the company’s common stock at $1.75 per share or 90% of the VWAP of the five days following the notice of conversion, whichever is lower. Since the conversion rate can be tied to an underlying item, convertible notes with warrants, are considered to be a derivative that is recorded as a liability at fair value and adjusted to fair value at the conclusion of each reporting period. The underlying assumptions used in the Black Scholes model to determine the fair value of the derivative liability were based on the individual date the notes were closed, volatility, the risk-free rate, the exercise price and the stock price at conversion.

During the last three months of 2017, all outstanding convertible note holders either converted their notes or the Company paid monies owed in full. As stated above, the liability at March 31, 2018 is $0.

As of March 31, 2018, the Company had five related parties, Future Vision dba Medicine Man Denver, Med Pharm Holdings, Med Pharm Iowa, De Best Inc. and Super Farm LLC.

On June 3, 2017, the Company issued an aggregate of 7,000,000 shares of its common stock for 100% ownership of both Success Nutrients and Pono Publications. The Company utilized purchase price accounting stating that net book value approximates fair market value of the assets acquired. The purchase price accounting resulted in $6,301,080 of Goodwill. The ASC at 350-20-35-3A directs that “An entity may assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50%) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company had a valuation done at this time and the value exceeded the purchase price indicating that there would not be any impairment.

On July 21, 2017, the Company issued 2,258,065 shares of its Common Stock for 100% ownership of Denver Consulting Group (“DCG”). The Company utilized purchase price accounting stating that net book value approximates fair market value of the assets acquired. The purchase price accounting resulted in $3,003,226 of Goodwill. The ASC at 350-20-35-3A directs that “An entity may assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50%) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill”. The Company obtained an independent valuation of the DCG on September 27, 2017. The fair market value on September 27, 2017 of DCG was $3,650,000, thus creating a fair market value greater than the carrying value of Goodwill. The ASC at 350-20-35-3D directs that “If an entity determines that it is not more likely that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then Goodwill impairment is unnecessary.” As of December 31, 201, the Company determined that no impairment is necessary given the recent valuations and no change in qualitative factors.

As of March 31, 2018, the Company’s Goodwill has a balance of $9,304,306. This amount consisted of $3,003,226 from the DCG acquisition and $6,301,080 from the Pono and Success acquisition.

In accordance with ASC Topic 280 – “Earnings per Share”, the basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common 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. The Company's quarterly earnings for the period ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 basic and diluted earnings per share $.00 and $.01, respectively.

As of March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, respectively, the Company had $106,256 and $106,091 of finished goods inventory.

The lease period started December 1, 2016 and will terminate November 30, 2020, resulting in the following future commitments:

The Company notes that this lease is accelerated and the deferred rent expense at March 31, 2018 is $33,729. This amount is booked in “Other liabilities” and is noted above in “Note 1.”

The Company issued one round of warrants related to various equity transactions that was approved by the Board on June 3, 2017 and issued on June 19, 2017. Since the terms weren’t established until June 19, 2017, these were valued on this date per the signed agreements and issuance on June 19, 2017. The Company accounts for its warrants issued in accordance with the US GAAP accounting guidance under ASC 480. The Company estimated the fair value of these warrants at the respective balance sheet dates using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as described in the stock-based compensation section above, based on the estimated market value of the underlying common stock at the valuation measurement date of $1.50, the remaining contractual term of the warrant of 2.5 years, risk-free interest rate of 1.38% and expected volatility of the price of the underlying common stock of 126%. There is a moderate degree of subjectivity involved when using option pricing models to estimate the warrants and the assumptions used in the Black Scholes option-pricing model are moderately judgmental.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company issued 1,500,566 common stock purchase warrants under the PPM with an exercise price of $1.33 per share, expiring on March 17, 2019. As of December 31, 2017, none of the warrants were exercised. The stock purchase warrants have been accounted for as equity in accordance with FASB ASC 480, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity

During the period ended December 31, 2017, the Company issued 2,000,000 common stock purchase warrants to three employees of the Company with an exercise price of $1.445 per share, expiring on December 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2018, all these warrants related to these three individuals were exercised.

The company utilizes FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company generated a deferred tax credit through net operating loss carry forwards. The Company had no tax provisions as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The company had net income during the quarter ended March 31, 2018, however currently has an adequate net loss carryforward to cover any liability generated in the current quarter.

During April 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with “Acme Distribution Center” to be the Company’s third party logistic distribution center. Acme will be the Company’s warehousing and distribution center.

Subsequent to March 31, 2018, the Company is in the process of finding a new Lessee for the property that we currently lease at 6660 E. 47^th Ave Drive, “Office and Warehouse Lease” disclosed in Note 13.

The Company has also initiated planning for application for QX status on the OTC Marketplace which it expects to complete by late summer of 2018.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Results of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we generated revenues of $1,211,037, including consulting/licensing fees of $524,982, Cultivation Max revenue of $192,545, reimbursement revenue of $27,309, product sales of $459,335 and other revenue of $6,866 as compared with the three months ended March 31, 2017, where we generated revenues of $541,136, of which $531,030 was related to consulting/licensing services and $10,106 was related to seminar and other revenues. In comparison to the March 31, 2017, consulting and licensing revenues, which were very consistent quarter over quarter. Overall revenue increased during this three-month period over that of the prior year by 124% of $669,901.

Cost of goods and services, consists of expenses related to delivery of services and product procurement, was $373,518 during the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $165,159 during the comparable period in 2017. This increase was due to the increase in sales of goods and increase in salaries for the period.

Operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2018, were $1,059,367 consisting of professional fees of $230,517, salaries of $466,256, advertising of $49,144 and general and administrative expense of $313,450, compared to general and administrative expenses of $195,401 incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2017, an increase of $118,049. Increased operating expenses during this three-month period were primarily attributable to salaries and related expenses, professional fees and as well as the cost increase of additional staff needed to service our expanding client base as reflected in our operating expense category.

As a result, we generated net income of $25,424 during the three months ended March 31, 2018 (approximately $0.00 per share), compared to net income of $112,363 during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2018, we had $382,585 in cash on hand.

Net cash used from operating activities was $298,814 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, compared to cash used from operating activities of $286,005 for the similar period in 2017, an increase of $12,809.

As we continue to focus on expanding our branding warehouse concept through acquisition, we believe we may require capital beyond our current ability to generate through our ongoing operations. Over time we expect that these investments will begin to require less capital and be spread out over an ever-increasing corporate structure integrating various acquisitions as wholly owned subsidiary operations, all supporting a common brand and marketing strategy.

We are currently considering raising additional capital through the sale of our securities to support our growth beyond our existing organic means. Though not assured, it is expected that this additional cash infusion will meet our expansion and growth requirements until we will again start generating positive cash flow from operations. We view the profits generated in our 1st quarter of 2018 as an excellent start to our mission for overall profitability however, if we are unable to secure this financing, or generate profits from our operations in the future, or elect to expand our operations or otherwise require additional capital, there can be no assurances that we will be able to raise such capital equity on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If we require additional capital and are unable to raise the same, it could have a material negative impact on our results of operations.

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 March 31, 2018.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the condensed financial statements. The estimates are based on historical experience and assumptions believed to be reasonable under current facts and circumstances. Actual amounts and results could differ from these estimates made by management. Certain accounting policies that require significant management estimates and are deemed critical to our results of operations or financial position are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 in the Critical Accounting Policies section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
