NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

the laws of the State of Washington on April 26, 2010 under the
name American Brewing Company, Inc. On April 1, 2015, the Company
acquired the assets of B&R Liquid Adventure, which included the
brand Bucha® Live Kombucha. On June 30, 2016, the Company
acquired the combined assets of New Age Beverages, LLC, Aspen Pure,
LLC, New Age Properties, LLC and Xing Beverage, LLC and changed the
Company’s name to New Age Beverages Corporation. In March 2017, the Company acquired the assets of
Maverick Brands LLC (“Maverick”), including the
Coco-Libre brand. In May 2017, the Company acquired the assets of
Premier Micronutrient Corporation (“PMC”). In June
2017, the Company also completed the acquisition of the Marley
Beverage Company (“Marley”) including the brand
licensing rights to all Marley brand ready to drink beverages (see

channels of distribution including Hypermarkets, Supermarkets,
Pharmacies, Convenience, Gas and other outlets.
Basis of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial
statements as of June 30, 2018 of the Company have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules of
the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and
should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements
and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Form 10-K filed
with the SEC on April 17, 2018. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary
for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of
operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected
herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future
quarters or for the full year. Notes to the unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements which substantially duplicate the
disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal
2017 as reported in the Form 10-K have been omitted.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations
of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts
receivables. The Company places its cash with high credit quality
financial institutions. At times such amounts may exceed federally
insured limits.
As of
June 30, 2018, three customers accounted for approximately 29.9%
(10.9%, 10.0%, and 9.0%) of accounts receivables. As of December
31, 2017, three customers represented approximately 23.1%, (10.5%,
6.7% and 5.9%) of accounts receivables.
For the
six months ended June 30, 2018, three customers represented
approximately 22.5% (10.6%, 7.4%. and 4.5%) of revenue. For the six
months ended June 30, 2017, two customers represented approximately
13.7% (8.6% and 5.1%) of revenue. For the three months ended June
30, 2018, three customers accounted for 21.4% (10.5%, 6.7% and
4.1%) of revenue compared to 16.2% (8.6%, 5.1% and 2.5%) for the
same period in 2017.
Accounts Receivable
The Company’s accounts receivable primarily consists of trade
receivables. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts
that is based on historical trends, customer knowledge, any known
disputes, and the aging of the accounts receivable balances
combined with management’s estimate of future potential
recoverability. Receivables are written off against the allowance
after all attempts to collect a receivable have failed. The
Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $23,033 as of
June 30, 2018 and $52,345 as of December 31,
2017.

NEW AGE BEVERAGES CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired
businesses over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net
assets acquired. Goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite
useful lives are not amortized but tested for impairment annually
or more frequently when events or circumstances indicates that the
carrying value of a reporting unit more likely than not exceeds its
fair value. The goodwill impairment test is applied by performing a
qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the
reporting unit. If, on the basis of qualitative factors, it is
considered not more likely than not that the fair value of the
reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, further testing of
goodwill for impairment would not be required. If the carrying
amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair
value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that
excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that
reporting unit. The Company performed a qualitative assessment and
determined there was no impairment of goodwill for the six-months
ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Intangible assets are recorded at fair value as part of the
acquisitions as described in Note 3. The balance as of June 30,
2018 and December 31, 2017 is reflected net of accumulated
amortization. Definite lived intangible assets are amortized over
their estimated useful life using the straight-line method, which
is determined by identifying the period over which the cash flows
from the asset are expected to be generated, typically 15 to 42
years. For the six-months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017
amortization expense totaled $751,783 and $195,961, respectively.
As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, accumulated amortization
was $2,120,351 and $1,368,568, respectively.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for share-based compensation to employees in
accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 718
Compensation—Stock
Compensation. Share-based
compensation to employees is measured at the grant date, based on
the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the
requisite employee service period. The Company accounts for
share-based compensation to nonemployees in accordance with ASC
505-50, Equity-Based Payments to
Nonemployees. Equity
instruments issued to nonemployees are valued at the earlier of a
commitment date or upon completion of the services, based on the
fair value of the equity instruments and is recognized as expense
over the service period. The Company estimates the fair value of
share -based payments using the Black-Scholes option- pricing
model for common stock options and warrants and the latest fair
market price of the Company’s common stock for common share
issuances. The Company has not experienced any forfeitures as of
March 31, 2018, but did experience immaterial forfeitures during
the second quarter of 2018. Management does not anticipate future
forfeitures to be material.
Included
in prepaid expenses as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are
prepaid share-based compensation of approximately $763,000 and
$1,000,000, of which approximately $354,000 and $409,000 are
presented as long-term on the consolidated balance sheets under the
caption Prepaid Expenses, long-term as of June 30, 2018 and
approximately $500,000 and $500,000 are presented as long-term on
the consolidated balance sheets under the caption Prepaid Expenses,
long-term d of December 31, 2017. These amounts represent the
prepaid compensation to employees and certain non-employees for
services rendered.
Long-lived Assets
Long-lived
assets consisted of property and equipment, customer relationships,
tradenames and patents and are reviewed for impairment in
accordance with the guidance of the FASB Topic ASC 360,
Property, Plant, and
Equipment. The Company tests for impairment losses on
long-lived assets used in operations whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may
not be recoverable. Through June 30, 2018, we had not experienced
impairment losses on our long-lived assets as management determined
that there were no indicators that a carrying amount of the asset
may not be recoverable.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
In May
2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers,
which replaces most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S.
GAAP and is intended to improve and converge with international
standards the financial reporting requirements for revenue from
contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 and its amendments were
included primarily in ASC 606. The core principle of ASC 606 is
that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods
or services equal to the amount that it expects to be entitled to
receive for those goods or services. ASC 606 also requires
additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and
uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer
contracts, including significant judgments and changes in
judgments. We adopted ASC 606 effective January 1, 2018, using the
modified retrospective method. There was no impact to the opening
balance of reinvested earnings as of January 1,
2018.
Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
In January 2017, the FASB issued 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and
Other (Topic 350): Simplifying
the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The amendments in this ASU
simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step
2 from the goodwill impairment test and eliminating the requirement
for a reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to
perform a qualitative assessment. Instead, under this
pronouncement, an entity would perform its annual, or interim,
goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting
unit with its carrying amount and would recognize an impairment
change for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the
reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized is
not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that
reporting unit. In addition, income tax effects will be considered,
if applicable. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim
periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15,
2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial
statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY
PLANS
The
accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as
a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the
realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal
course of business. Since inception, the Company has financed its
operations primarily through equity and debt financings. As of June
30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had an accumulated
deficit of $16,518,549 and $10,500,883 (all of which was attributed
to the losses of Búcha, Inc., and one-time expenses associated
with the integration and up-listing onto the NASDAQ exchange and
acquisitions of Maverick, PMC and Marley during the year ended
December 31, 2017 and Xing during the year ended December 31,
2016). For the six-months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017,
respectively, cash flows used in operating activities were
($6,384,236) and ($6,676,764).
The
2017 acquisitions of Maverick, PMC and Marley (see Note 3) required
significant cash outlays for integration and operations. The
Company continues to raise funds through the issuance of its equity
securities, See Note 12, Subsequent Events. With the additional
proceeds received (see Subsequent Events note)and from working
capital, the Company believes that its current working capital will
be sufficient to meet the Company’s operating liquidity,
capital expenditure and debt repayment requirements for at least
another year.
NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS
Maverick Brands, LLC.
On
March 31, 2017, the Company acquired all of the assets of Maverick

Overview
We are a Colorado-based healthy beverage company engaged in the
development and commercialization of a portfolio of organic,
natural and other better-for-you beverages. We market a full
portfolio of Ready-to-Drink (“RTD”) better-for-you
beverages including competitive offerings in the kombucha, tea,
coffee, functional waters, relaxation drinks, energy drinks,
rehydrating beverages, and functional medical beverage segments. We
differentiate our brands through superior functional performance
characteristics and ingredients and offer products that are 100%
organic and natural, with no high-fructose corn syrup
(“HFCS”), no-genetically modified organisms
(“GMOs”), no preservatives, and only natural flavors,
fruits, and ingredients. We rank as the 56th largest non-alcoholic beverage company in the
world, one of largest healthy beverage companies, and the fastest
growing according to Beverage Industry Magazine annual rankings and
Markets and Markets over the past two years.
Our company mission is to inspire and elevate the human
spirit. We intend to do this by not only providing healthier and
better-for-you beverage alternatives, but also by embodying
“Live Healthy” in all we do as an example for
consumers. By staying true to that purpose and via flawlessly
executing our business plan, we expect to achieve our corporate
goal of becoming the world’s leading healthy beverage
company. Leading however does not necessarily mean largest. Rather,
we intend to have the leading brands for consumers, provide the
leading
growth for retailers and distributors,
and leading return on investment for shareholders.
Our target market is health conscious
consumers, who are becoming more interested and better educated on
what is included in their diets, causing them to shift away from
less healthy options such as carbonated soft drinks or other high
caloric beverages and towards alternative beverages choices.
Management believes consumer awareness of the benefits of healthier
lifestyles and the availability of heathier beverages is rapidly
accelerating worldwide, and we are capitalizing on that
shift as the only one stop shop provider of healthy
beverages.
Highlights
We generate revenue through the commercialization of our portfolio
of brands to consumers via our retailer partners and directly via
our own Ecommerce system. We believe that on a
consolidated basis, and with the reductions in operating expenses
in each of the acquired companies in 2016 and 2017, the integrated
company will generate sufficient cash flow internally to meet its
needs. We have eliminated more than $15 million in costs from
all of its business, and believe there are substantial incremental
COGS and operating expenses reduction opportunities. As the
Company changes its mix of products and channels during the course
of the strategic plan period, we believe that the Company can reach
50% gross margin, and reduced operating expenses to less than 25%
of net sales, whilst increasing investment behind brand
building.
In addition to driving organic growth on the healthy
beverage platform the Company has established, the Company has recently taken actions to
strengthen its financial flexibility. In April 2018, the
Company raised $4 million dollars through the sale of equity to
meet working capital needs for inventory in expanded
distribution. In June 2018, the firm emplaced a $4.75 million
financing at an annualized interest rate of 8%.
The following are highlights of our operating results for the three
months ended June 30, 2018
versus the three months ended June 30,
2017:
-20-
Revenue. During
the three months ended June 30,
2018, we generated gross revenue of $15,223,779 compared
to $16,038,638 for the three months ended
June 30, 2017, a decline of 5.1%. Our
revenue for the quarter was negatively impacted by inventory shortfalls that
affected revenue approximately $2.7 million. We generated net revenue of $13,362,408 and
$15,104,795 for the
three months ended June 30, 2018
and 2017, reflective of negative inventory
impact.
Gross Margin. Gross margin for
the three months ended June 30, 2018
was 13.2% compared to 22.4% for
the three months ended June 30,
2017, as we
incurred significant incremental production and shipping costs
associated with reallocating what inventory we did have available
to its most vital customers.
Operating Expenses. During
the quarter ended June 30,
2018, our operating expenses were $5,004,645, as compared to $3,724,749 for the three months ended June 30,
2017. The increase was primarily attributable to the
infrastructures and integration of the Maverick, Marley and PMC
acquisitions and the non-cash associated with stock compensation
expense and increased amortization expense attributable to the
intangible assets.
Adjusted EBITDA. For the
three months ended June 30,
2018, adjusted EBITDA was ($1,602,811) driven by our temporary
pressure on working capital and the resulting inability to procure
the necessary inventory to meet demand, coupled with the
incremental costs associated with production and shipping of
available inventory.
Management defines adjusted EBITDA as earnings before income tax,
depreciation and amortization, one-time compensation and
acquisition charges, interest expense, shared-based compensation
and other acquisition-related integration charges. Management
believes adjusted EBITDA to be a meaningful indicator of our
performance that provides useful information to investors regarding
our financial condition and results of operations because it
removes material one-time and non-recurring charges. These one-time
charges are not anticipated to be incurred within a two-year
period. The Company does not anticipate further capital raises
subsequent to the funding noted in the Subsequent Events footnote.
As a result, certain professional fees incurred in the connection
with raising capital will not be incurred.
We consider quantitative and qualitative factors in assessing
whether to adjust for the impact of items that may be significant
or that could affect an understanding of our ongoing financial and
business performance or trends.
Non-GAAP information should be considered as supplemental in nature
and is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute
for the related financial information prepared in accordance with
U.S. GAAP. In addition, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be
the same as or comparable to similar non-GAAP measures presented by
other companies.
The following table includes the reconciliation of our consolidated
US GAAP net loss to our consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the three

Revenues
Net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2018 were
$13,362,408 as compared to $15,104,795 for the three months ended
June 30, 2017, due primarily to inventory shortfalls of
approximately $5.0 million. DSD Division revenues were consistent
for the three months ended June 30, 2018, despite the inventory
impact. In the Brands Division, significant new distribution for
the Company’s brands occurred in the quarter that the company
was unable to completely fulfill, but is expected to have full
impact in the second half of the year. In 2017 the Company
primarily focused on integrating the acquisitions, building the
infrastructure, and rearchitecting the brand portfolio and
developing new products within its core brands. With those
components now largely in place, we believe that our
“new” portfolio in broader distribution is in a
position to contribute significant greater organic
growth.

one-time production, internal freight and transfer issues impact
cost of goods sold, especially in the Brands Division during the
quarter that are not expected to be repeated once the working
capital challenge for the Company is solved.

infrastructures and integration of the Maverick, Marley and PMC
acquisitions and the non-cash associated with stock compensation
expense.
Other Expenses
The
change on Other Expenses were directly attributed to the
recognition of the gain on the sale of the building during 2017.

Company’s brands occurred in the quarter that the company was
unable to completely fulfill as a result of our working capital
constraints, but is expected to have full impact in the second half
of the year. In 2017 the Company primarily focused on integrating
the acquisitions, building the infrastructure, and rearchitecting
the brand portfolio and developing new products within its core
brands. With those components now largely in place, New Age’s
“new” portfolio in broader distribution is in a
position to contribute significant greater organic
growth.

production, internal freight and transfer issues impact cost of
goods sold during the quarter that are not expected to be repeated

During the six-months ended June 30,
2018, our operating expenses were $10,108,701, as compared
to $6,586,198 for the six months ended June 30,
2017. The increase was primarily attributable to the
infrastructures and integration of the Maverick, Marley and PMC
acquisitions and the non-cash associated with stock compensation
expense.
Other Expenses
The
change on Other Expenses were directly attributed to the
recognition of the gain on the sale of the building during 2017.
The gain on sale was approximately $3,700,000 for the period ended
June 30, 2017.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30,
2018, we had cash of
$213,446. The Company has
always operated with a limited cash balance. This led management to
the decision to raise additional capital through the sale and
issuance of an additional 2,285,715 shares of common stock on April
10, 2018 in a public offering for net proceeds of approximately
$3,500,000. On July 20, 2018, The Company raised $4.75 million
through the sale of a convertible note. The conversion price of the
convertible note is $1.89 and the interest rate is 8%. Management
continues to explore its options to improve its working capital
position, including closing a planned asset-backed line of credit
in the immediate future. There can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to consummate the financing facility upon terms acceptable to the Company or
if at all.
The acquisitions in 2017 and 2016 substantially improved the
Company’s scale and ability to be profitable. Through the
sale of additional equity and a convertible note in the second
quarter of 2018, we have improved our working capital position and
funded operating losses. However, we will continue to explore all
options to improve The Company’s liquidity and working
capital position so its can grow it branded business and reach
consistent profitability. We may also seek to sell additional
equity and debt securities. Any sale of additional equity
securities will result in dilution to our stockholders. The
incurrence of indebtedness will result in increased debt service
obligations and could require us to agree to operating and
financial covenants that could restrict our operations or modify
our plans to grow the business. Financing may not be available in
amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us
to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, will
limit our ability to expand our business operations and could harm
our overall business prospects.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are
reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our
financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or
expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or
capital resources that is material to stockholders.
Effects of Inflation
We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our
business, revenues or operating results during the periods
presented.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the
notes to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial
statements included herein for the quarter ended
June 30, 2018.
Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements
During the year ended December 30, 2017, we early adopted the new lease accounting
standards issued by the FASB ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. This ASU
establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to
record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for
all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be
classified as either finance or operating, with classification
affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income
statement. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal
years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for
lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered
into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period
presented in the financial statements, with certain practical
expedients available. The impact of adopting this standard resulted
in an ROU and lease liability on the consolidated balance sheet of
approximately $4MM as of June 30,
2018.
We do not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet
effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a
material effect on our consolidated financial
statements.
Inventories and Provision for Excess or Expired
Inventory
Inventories consist of tea ingredients, packaging and finished
goods and are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out
basis) or market value. Provisions for excess inventory are
included in cost of goods sold and have historically been
immaterial but adequate to provide for losses on its raw
materials.
Long-lived Assets
Our long-lived assets consisted of property and equipment and
customer relationships and are reviewed for impairment in
accordance with the guidance of the FASB Topic ASC 360,
Property, Plant,
and Equipment. We test for
impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of the asset may not be recoverable. For the three months
ended June 30, 2018
and 2017, respectively, we had not recognized impairment losses on
our long-lived assets as management determined that there were no
indicators that a carrying amount of the asset may not be
recoverable.
-26-
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired
businesses over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net
assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for
impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level or more
frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
asset might be impaired. The goodwill impairment test is applied by
performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair
value of the reporting unit. If, on the basis of qualitative
factors, it is considered not more likely than not that the fair
value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount,
further testing of goodwill for impairment would not be
required.
Intangible assets are recorded at acquisition cost less accumulated
amortization and impairment. Definite lived intangible assets are
amortized over their estimated useful life using the straight-line
method, which is determined by identifying the period over which
the cash flows from the asset are expected to be
generated.
Share-Based Compensation
We account for stock-based compensation to employees in accordance
with FASB ASC 718, Compensation—Stock
Compensation. Stock-based
compensation to employees is measured at the grant date, based on
the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the
requisite employee service period. We account for stock-based
compensation to other than employees in accordance with FASB ASC
505-50. Equity instruments issued to other than employees are
valued at the earlier of a commitment date or upon completion of
the services, based on the fair value of the equity instruments and
is recognized as expense over the service period. We estimate the
fair value of stock-based payments using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model for common stock options and warrants and the
latest fair market price of the Company’s common stock for
common share issuances.
Capital Expenditures
Other Capital Expenditures
We expect to incur research and development costs, as well as
marketing expenses in connection with the expansion of our business
and the development of our products.
Future Contractual Obligations and Commitment
We incur contractual obligations and financial commitments in the
normal course of our operations and financing activities.
Contractual obligations include future cash payments required under
existing contracts, such as debt and lease agreements. These
obligations may result from both general financing activities and
from commercial arrangements that are directly supported by related
operating activities.
As of June 30, 2018
we have no future contractual obligations or commitments, other
than lease and debt payments as defined in the Company’s
balance sheet.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2018
and December 30, 2017,
respectively, we have not entered into any transaction, agreement
or other contractual arrangement with an entity unconsolidated
under which it has:
-
a
retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to the
unconsolidated entity or similar arrangement that serves as
credit;
-
liquidity
or market risk support to such entity for such assets;
-
an
obligation, including a contingent obligation, under a contract
that would be accounted for as a derivative instrument;
or
-
an
obligation, including a contingent obligation, arising out of a
variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that is held by, and
material to us, where such entity provides financing, liquidity,
market risk or credit risk support to or engages in leasing,
hedging, or research and development services with us.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK
As a
“smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of
Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide information
required by this Item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The
Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial
Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls
and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report
pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based on that evaluation,
the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by
this report, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective
in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in the
reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1)
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods
specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and (2)
accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer or persons performing
similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have
not made a change in our internal control over financial reporting
(as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange
Act) during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2017 that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.
Internal
control systems, no matter how well designed and operated, have
inherent limitations. Therefore, even a system which is determined
to be effective cannot provide absolute assurance that all control
issues have been detected or prevented. Our systems of internal
controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance with respect
to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Under
the oversight of the Audit Committee, management will continue to
review and make any changes it deems necessary to the overall
design of the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting, including implementing improvements in policies and
procedures. We are committed to a proper internal control
environment and will continue to implement measures to improve the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting in
response to our continued operational development.
