MEDICINE MAN TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
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.
1. | Liquidity and Capital Resources: |
Cash Flows – During the quarters ending March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company primarily used revenues from its operation supplemented by cash 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 $699,979 and $321,788 classified as cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, respectively.
The Company has recently elected to accelerate its organic growth path through additional marketing, team development, synergistic acquisitions, and other corporate activities wherein it expects to generate negative cash flow and an additional demand for capital to fuel such growth.
The Company has commenced legal action against a client for breach of contract, adding a significant value into its receivables for fees that had been booked due to forbearance grants by the Company that were subsequent violated, causing the Company to increase its receivables accordingly (see Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings).
2. | Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates: |
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.
8 |
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.
The Company’s 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 the Company’s debt approximates fair value because the interest rates on these instruments approximate the interest rate on debt with similar terms available to us. The Company’s derivative liability was adjusted to fair market value at the end of each reporting period, using Level 3 inputs.
The following is the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2), and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):
March 31, 2019 |
December 31, 2018 |
|||||||
Level 3 – Non-Marketable Securities – Non-recurring | $ | 1,850,589 | $ | 2,199,344 |
Non-Marketable Securities at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis: Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The level 3 position consist of investments accounted for under the cost method. The Level 3 position consists of investments in equity securities held in private companies.
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, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company had accounts receivable of $1,677,287 and $2,587,380, respectively. Due to the low volume of write offs, the Company uses the direct write off method versus having an allowance for uncollectible debts. The Company did not write off any of its accounts receivable in either of the three-month periods ending March 31, 2019 or 2018.
The Company has commenced legal action against a client for breach of contract, adding a significant value into its receivables for fees that had been booked due to forbearance grants by the Company that were subsequent violated, causing the Company to increase its receivables accordingly (see Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings). The Company continues to accrue values for fees it would normally be earning during this quarter and as related to the ongoing legal action it initiated after the Client in question refused to pay fees due the Company in accordance with the Client acknowledged executed agreement. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the accounts receivable for this matter totaled $1,281,511 and $1,281,511, respectively, and the revenue earned as of December 31, 2018 is $1,518,099. Further, the Company provided services to this Client for a period of thirteen months, agreeing conditionally to three modifications in December of 2017, March of 2018, and May of 2018 to forego certain revenue sharing payments in accordance with the agreement with the Client, which the Client subsequently violated. In July 2018, the Company engaged legal counsel in Clark County Nevada to pursue the default and collect the payments due the Company pursuant to the terms of the agreement with the Client. (See Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings).
Notes receivable: On July 17, 2018, the Company entered into an intellectual property license agreement with Abba Medix Corp. (AMC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of a publicly-traded company Canada House Wellness Group, Inc. (CHV). The Company agreed to provide a lending facility to AMC in CAD$125,000 increments of up to CAD$500,000. The lending facilities shall bear an initial interest rate at 5.50% (representing United States Prime) and carry a term of 24 months, unless otherwise amended by both parties.
9 |
As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company loaned to AMC a total of $325,000 CAD or $237,246, and $125,000 CAD or $92,888, respectively. The Company classified these loans as long-term notes receivable on its consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, respectively.
Other assets (current and non-current): Other assets at March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018 were $121,456 and $50,824, respectively and as of March 31, 2019 this balance included $102,006 in prepaid expenses and $19,450 in two security deposits.
Accounts payable: Accounts payable at March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018 was $804,688 and $273,827, respectively and were comprised of operating accounts payable for various professional services incurred during the ordinary course of business.
Accrued expenses and other liabilities: Accrued expenses and other liabilities at March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018 were $224,183 and $291,084, respectively. At March 31, 2019, this was comprised of customer deposits of $163,568, accrued payroll of $56,669, and operating expenses of $3,946.
At December 31, 2018, this was comprised of $163,568 in customer deposits, $21,330 in deferred rent expense and $106,185 in accrued payroll.
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: Our revenue recognition policy is significant because the amount and timing of revenue is a key component of our results of operations. Certain criteria are required to be met in order to recognize revenue. If these criteria are not met, then the associated revenue is deferred until it is met. When consideration is received in advance of the delivery of goods or services, a contract liability is recorded. Our revenue contracts are identified when accepted from customers and represent a single performance obligation to sell our products to a customer.
The Company has five main revenue streams, product sales, licensing and consulting, cultivation max, reimbursements, investment and others.
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.
Product Sales are recorded at the time that control of the products is transferred to customers. In evaluating the timing of the transfer of control of products to customers, we consider several indicators, including significant risks and rewards of products, our right to payment, and the legal title of the products. Based on the assessment of control indicators, sales are generally recognized when products are delivered to customers.
Revenue from seminar fees is related to one-day seminars and is recognized as earned at the completion of the seminar. The Company also recognizes expense reimbursement from clients as revenue for expenses incurred during certain jobs.
Product Sales are recorded at the time that control of the products is transferred to customers. In evaluating the timing of the transfer of control of products to customers, we consider several indicators, including significant risks and rewards of products, our right to payment, and the legal title of the products. Based on the assessment of control indicators, sales are generally recognized when products are delivered to customers.
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.
10 |
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 $55,401 and $49,144 during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, 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 $1,029,221 in expenses for stock-based compensation to employees and consultants during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
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 continues to conduct its consulting service business.
3. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
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 has adopted this pronouncement and has reflected the value of all leases within the Balance Sheet of the Company.

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 did not have a significant impact on our statement of cash flows.
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 did not have a significant impact on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

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 its proprietary processes it has 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 March 31, 2019, no impairment was deemed necessary.
During 2017, the Company acquired two intangible assets, Product Agreement & Registration and a Trade Secret. These two intangible assets were acquired as part 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 Canada. The registration allows the Company to sell its 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.

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 accounted for the acquisition utilizing 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 accounted for the acquisition utilizing 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.”
On September 17, 2018, we closed the acquisition of Two JS LLC, dba The Big Tomato, a Colorado limited liability company. (“Big T” or “Big Tomato”). The Company issued an aggregate of 1,933,329 shares of its common stock for 100% ownership of Big Tomato. The Company accounted for the transaction utilizing purchase price accounting stating that net book value approximates fair market value of the assets acquired. The purchase price accounting resulted in the Company valuing the investment as $3,000,000 of Goodwill. At September 17, 2018, the Company’s per share value of Common Stock was $1.55. There is no requirement for Big Tomato to have independent audited financial statement for the prior two fiscal years and any interim periods because the aggregate value of the acquisition is less than 20% of the Company’s current assets.

10. | Net Income (Loss) per Share: |
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, 2019 and 2018 basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share $(0.10) and $0.00, respectively.

13. | Leases: |
Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For those leases with a term greater than one year, the Company recognizes on the balance sheet at the time of lease commencement or modification a right of use (“RoU”) operating lease asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. Lease costs are recognized in the income statement over the lease term on a straight-line basis. RoU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.

The Company's lease population consists of real estate leases for office spaces. The Company elected to combine the lease and related non-lease components for its operating leases.
The Company’s operating leases include options to extend or terminate the lease, which are not included in the determination of the RoU asset or lease liability unless reasonably certain to be exercised. The Company's operating leases have remaining lease terms of less than two years. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
As the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, we used an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The discount rate used in the computations was 6%.

14. | Commitments and Concentrations: |
Over the past three years, the Company has supported legislation in Colorado to allow licensed cannabis companies in Colorado to trade their securities, provided they are reporting companies under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. HB19-1090 titled, “Publicly Licensed Marijuana Companies” is currently under consideration in the Colorado legislature. The bill, if signed into law, repeals the provision that prohibits publicly traded corporations from holding a marijuana license in Colorado. Should this legislation be adopted we intend to acquire cannabis licensed companies within Colorado.
The Company has executed binding term sheets with three entities for potential acquisitions and has issued common stock purchase warrants to each to become effective for execution in the event that such legislation passes. The term sheets provide for the issuance of shares of common stock to the targets at an initial price per share of $1.32, with the final price to be determined based on the fair market valuation, which is subject to an independent valuation assessment. The shares will be issued as part of the consideration to the acquisition targets, which acquisitions are subject to certain closing conditions.
Our Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Williams, serves as an officer/manager and has an ownership interest in each of the targets that are parties to the binding term sheets.
15. | Warrants: |
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 were not established until June 19, 2017, the warrants were valued as of the date the terms were fixed. 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 paragraph of Note 2 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 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 common 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 were exercised.
During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company issued 250,000 common stock purchase warrants to one employee of the Company with an exercise price of $1.49 per share for a period of time expiring on December 31, 2021. The Company accounts for the warrant in accordance with the US GAAP accounting guidance under ASC 480. We estimated the fair value of these warrants at the respective balance sheet dates using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the estimated market value of the underlying common stock at the valuation measurement date of $1.49, the remaining contractual term of the warrant of 3 years, risk-free interest rate of 2.48% 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.

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, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2019, were $2,632,791 consisting of professional fees of $1,901,764, salaries and bonuses of $435,721, and general and administrative expense of $295,306, compared to operating expenses of $819,492 incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2018, an increase of $1,813,299. The increase in operating expenses during the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 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 a net loss of $2,911818 during the three months ended March 31, 2019 (or a loss of approximately $0.10 per share), compared to net income of $25,424 during the three months ended March 31, 2018.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2019, we had $699,979 in cash on hand.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $373,551 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, compared to cash used from operating activities of $(298,814) for the similar period in 2018, an increase of $664,968.
Cash flows used for investing activities was $152,318 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, compared to cash used of $67,316 for the similar period in 2018.
Cash flows from financing activities was $156,958 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, compared to $0 for the similar period in 2018. In 2018 the Company received proceeds of $1,000,000 from the private sale of our common stock.
While no assurances can be provided, we believe we will generate positive cash flow from our operations in 2019. If we are successful in achieving this objective, of which there can be no assurance, we do not believe we will need to raise any additional capital and that the revenue generated will be sufficient to allow us to implement our current business plan. However, if we do not generate positive cash flow, or we identify an acquisition which we believe will significantly impact our business operations in a positive manner, or unforeseen developments occur, we may need to raise additional capital, either debt, equity or both. At this time, we are unable to state how much capital we will need. As of the date of this Report we have no commitment from any investor or investment-banking firm to provide us with any funding and there can be no assurances we will obtain such funding in the future. Failure to obtain this additional financing may have a material negative impact on our ability to generate profits on a regular basis in the future.
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, 2019.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

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, 2018 in the Critical Accounting Policies section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
