NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

 

January 31, 2020

 

The following (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet at July 31, 2019 was derived from audited annual financial statements, but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements, and (b) the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by Non-Invasive Monitoring Systems, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company” or “NIMS”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to the quarterly report on Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These statements reflect adjustments, all of which are of a normal, recurring nature, and which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of January 31, 2020, and results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended January 31, 2020 and 2019. The results of operations for the three and six months ended January 31, 2020, are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The Company’s accounting policies continue unchanged from July 31, 2019. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2019.

 

1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

 

Organization. Non-Invasive Monitoring Systems, Inc., a Florida corporation, began business as a medical diagnostic monitoring company to develop computer-aided continuous monitoring devices to detect abnormal respiratory and cardiac events using sensors on the human body’s surface. It has ceased to operate in this market. The Company has developed and marketed its Exer-Rest® line of acceleration therapeutic platforms based upon unique, patented whole body periodic acceleration (“WBPA”) technology of which the Company maintains patents. The Company currently does not have any operational inventory.

 

Business. The Company developed a third generation of Exer-Rest acceleration therapeutic platforms (designated the Exer-Rest AT3800 and the Exer-Rest AT4700). The Company is currently a shell company (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act).

 

Discontinued Operations. On May 3, 2019 the Company exchanged inventory for forgiveness of accrued unpaid rent. The Company has no inventory, no immediate plans to replenish inventory and has no current plans to develop or market new products.

 

Accordingly, the Company determined that the assets and liabilities met the discontinued operations criteria in Accounting Standards Codification 205-20-45 and were classified as discontinued operations at January 31, 2020 and July 31, 2019 and for the three and six months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

7
 

 

Going Concern. The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared and presented on a basis assuming it will continue as a going concern. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had net losses from continuing operations of approximately $99,000 and $1,360,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and has experienced continuous cash outflows from operating activities. The Company also has an accumulated deficit of approximately $28,139,000 as of January 31, 2020. The Company had approximately $250,000 of cash at January 31, 2020 and working capital deficit of approximately ($17,000). These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company is seeking potential mergers, acquisitions and strategic collaborations. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in this regard, and, if not successful, that it will be able to continue its business activities. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Equity Exchange Agreement. On December 3, 2018, the Company entered into an Equity Exchange Agreement with IRA Financial Trust Company, a South Dakota trust corporation, IRA Financial Group LLC, a Florida limited liability company (collectively “IRA Financial”), and their respective equity holders. The Company, IRA Financial and the equity holders subsequently amended the Exchange Agreement on three occasions to extend the outside date for consummation of the Exchange, with the last such extension expiring on July 3, 2019.

 

On August 4, 2019, IRAFG delivered to the Company notice of termination of the Exchange Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(i) of that agreement due to the failure of the Exchange to have closed on or prior to the Outside Date. No termination fees, penalties or other amounts are payable by the Company in respect of such termination.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Non-Invasive Monitoring Systems of Florida, Inc., which has no current operations, and NIMS of Canada, Inc., a Canadian corporation, which has no current operations. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Discontinued Operations. For the three and six months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, results from operations for our Exer-Rest Business are classified as discontinued operations. The carve out of the discontinued operations (i) were prepared in accordance with the SEC’s carve out rules under Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 1B1 and (ii) are derived from identifying and carving out the specific assets, liabilities, operating expenses and interest expense associated with the Exer-Rest Business’s operations.

 

Discontinued operations expense allocations, consisting of warehouse rent and other inventory related expenses incurred by us, are directly attributed to discontinued operations (see Note 3).

 

Reclassifications. Certain amounts in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2019 and condensed consolidated cash flows statement for the six months ended January 31, 2019 have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

 

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had approximately $250,000 and $353,000, on deposit in bank operating accounts at January 31, 2020 and July 31, 2019, respectively.

 

Income Taxes. The Company provides for income taxes using an asset and liability based approach. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. The deferred tax asset for loss carryforwards and other potential future tax benefits has been fully offset by a valuation allowance since it is uncertain whether any future benefit will be realized. The utilization of the loss carryforward is limited to future taxable earnings of the Company and may be subject to severe limitations if the Company undergoes an ownership change pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code Section 382.

 

The Company files its tax returns as prescribed by the laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. Tax years ranging from 2016 to 2019 remain open to examination by various taxing jurisdictions as the statute of limitations has not expired. It is the Company’s policy to include income tax interest and penalty expense in its tax provision.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of January 31, 2020 and July 31, 2019. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments such as cash, prepaid expenses, deposits, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair values because they are short term in nature or they bear current market interest rates.

Loss Contingencies. We recognize contingent losses that are both probable and estimable. In this context, we define probability as circumstances under which events are likely to occur. In regard to legal costs, we record such costs as incurred.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standard Updates (“ASU’s”). ASU’s not discussed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our consolidated balance sheets or consolidated comprehensive statement of operations.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230). This standard addresses the classification of eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. ASU 2016-15 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company implemented this ASU on August 1, 2018. The adoption of this update did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 impacts any entity that enters into a lease with some specified scope exceptions. This new standard 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 statement of operations. The guidance updates and supersedes Topic 840, Leases. For public entities, ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods with those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption was permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for 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 Company currently has no long-term leases. However, in the event that the Company should enter any long-term leases it would then evaluate the effect that the new guidance would have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures

 

3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

On May 3, 2019 the Company exchanged its inventory for forgiveness of accrued unpaid rent. Concurrent with the exchange management with the appropriate level of authority determined to discontinue the operations of the product segment. The Company wrote off accounts payable and liabilities of approximately $4,000 primarily as a result of discontinued operations and other factors.

4. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company measures the cost of employee, officer and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The fair value of the Company’s stock option awards is expensed over the vesting life of the underlying stock options using the graded vesting method, with each tranche of vesting options valued separately. The Company did not record stock-based compensation for the three and six months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

In November 2010, the Company’s Board and Compensation Committee approved the Non-Invasive Monitoring Systems, Inc. 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”). Awards granted under the 2011 Plan may consist of incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights (SAR), restricted stock grants, restricted stock units (RSU) performance shares, performance units or cash awards. Subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, the 2011 Plan authorizes up to 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for issuance pursuant to the terms of the 2011 Plan. The 2011 Plan was approved by our shareholders in March 2012 and no awards have been granted under the 2011 Plan as of January 31, 2020.

 

As of January 31, 2020, there were no outstanding stock options and there were no unrecognized costs related to outstanding stock options. The Company did not grant any stock options during the three and six months ended January 31, 2020 or 2019.

5. NOTES PAYABLE

 

The Company entered into various notes payable with related parties from 2010 to 2018 with an aggregate principal total of $2,175,000 and with an unrelated third party for $50,000 for total principal amount of $2,225,000. The interest rate was 11% and the maturity date was July 31, 2020. The Company could prepay these notes in advance of the maturity date without premium or penalty.

 

On December 21, 2018, the Company issued 50,584,413 shares of Common Stock in exchange for the extinguishment of debt and related accrued interest totaling approximately $3,541,000. The Company incurred interest expense related to the Credit Facility and notes payable of $0 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2020, and $33,715 and $93,000 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2019.

 

The Company maintains a Note and Security Agreement with Frost Gamma Investments Trust, a trust controlled by Dr. Phillip Frost, which beneficially owns in excess of 10% of the Company’s common stock (“Frost Gamma”), and Hsu Gamma Investments, LP, an entity controlled by the Company’s Chairman and Interim CEO (“Hsu Gamma” and together with Frost Gamma, the “Lenders”), pursuant to which the Lenders have provided a revolving credit line (the “Credit Facility”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1.0 million, secured by all of the Company’s personal property. The interest rate payable on amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility is 11% per annum and increases to 16% per annum after the Credit Facility Maturity Date or after an event of default. The Company is permitted to borrow and reborrow from time to time under the Credit Facility until July 31, 2020 (the “Credit Facility Maturity Date”). The balance of the principal due under the Credit Facility was $0 at January 31, 2020 and July 31, 2019.

 

6. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

The Company has three classes of Preferred Stock. Holders of Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to vote with the holders of common stock as a single class on all matters.

 

Series B Preferred Stock is not redeemable by the Company and has a liquidation value of $100 per share, plus declared and unpaid dividends, if any. Dividends are non-cumulative, and are at the rate of $10 per share, if declared.

 

Series C Preferred Stock is redeemable by the Company at a price of $0.10 per share upon 30 days prior written notice. This series has a liquidation value of $1.00 per share plus declared and unpaid dividends, if any. Dividends are non-cumulative, and are at the rate of $0.10 per share, if declared. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into 25 shares of the Company’s common stock upon payment of a conversion premium of $4.20 per share of common stock. The conversion rate and the conversion premium are subject to adjustments in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, reverse stock splits and certain other events. In February 2019, all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock were redeemed by the Company following 30 days written notice. The redemption amount for the 62,048 Series C Preferred Stock was approximately $25,000 at a rate of $0.40 per share of which approximately $15,000 was paid and approximately $10,000 is included in accrued expenses at January 31, 2020. The redeemed Series C Preferred Stock were then cancelled following the redemption.

 

Series D Preferred Stock is not redeemable by the Company. This series has a liquidation value of $1,500 per share, plus declared and unpaid dividends, if any. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock is convertible into 5,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The conversion rate is subject to adjustments in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, reverse stock splits and certain other events. In February 2019, all holders of the 2,782 outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock converted their shares to common stock. As a result, the Company issued 13,910,000 common shares.

 

No preferred stock dividends were declared for the three and six months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

The Company did not issue any shares of the Company’s common stock during the three and six months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019.

7. BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE

 

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period. Diluted potential common shares consist of incremental shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants and conversion of preferred stock. In computing diluted net loss per share for the three and six months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, no dilution adjustment has been made to the weighted average outstanding common shares because the assumed exercise of outstanding options and warrants and the conversion of preferred stock would be anti-dilutive. There are no options or warrants outstanding as of January 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

Potential common shares not included in calculating diluted net loss per share are as follows:

 

   January 31, 2020   January 31, 2019 
Series C Preferred Stock   -    1,551,200 
Series D Preferred Stock   -    13,910,000 
Total   -    15,461,200 

 

8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Dr. Hsiao, Dr. Frost and directors Steven Rubin and Rao Uppaluri are each stockholders, current or former officers and/or directors or former directors of TransEnterix, Inc. (formerly SafeStitch Medical, Inc.) (“TransEnterix”), a publicly-traded medical device company. The Company’s Chief Financial Officer also served as the Chief Financial Officer of TransEnterix until October 2, 2013. The Company’s Chief Financial Officer continued as an employee of TransEnterix until March 3, 2014, during which he supervised the Miami based accounting staff of TransEnterix under a cost sharing arrangement whereby the total salaries of the Miami based accounting staff was shared by the Company and TransEnterix. The Chief Financial Officer continues to serve as the Chief Financial Officer of Cocrystal Pharma, Inc., a clinical stage biotechnology company, and in which Steve Rubin and Jane Hsiao, serve on the Board. Since December 2009, the Company’s Chief Legal Officer has served under a similar cost sharing arrangement as the Chief Legal Officer of TransEnterix.

 

The Company signed a five year lease for office space in Miami, Florida with a company controlled by Dr. Phillip Frost, who is the beneficial owner of more than 10% of the Company’s common stock. The rental payments under the Miami office lease, which commenced January 1, 2008 and expired on December 31, 2012, were approximately $1,250 per month and then continued on a month-to-month basis. In February 2016 the rent was reduced to $0 per month. For the three and six months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not record any rent expense related to the Miami lease. At January 31, 2020 and July 31, 2019, approximately $0 and $0 in rent was payable, respectively.

 

The Company is under common control with multiple entities and the existence of that control could result in operating results or financial position of each individual entity significantly different from those that would have been obtained if the entities were autonomous. One of those related parties, OPKO Health, Inc. (“OPKO”) and the Company are under common control and OPKO has a one percent ownership interest in the Company that OPKO has accounted for as an equity method investment due to the ability to significantly influence the Company.

 

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Leases.

 

The Company was under an operating lease agreement for our corporate office space that expired in 2012. The lease currently continues on a month to month basis at no cost.

 

We housed our inventory in approximately 4,000 square feet of warehouse space in Pembroke Park, Florida. The lease commenced September 15, 2014 and originally expired on September 30, 2015 and we exercised our option to renew the lease and extended the expiration to September 15, 2017. Following the expiration, we have remained on a month-to-month term. On May 3, 2019 the Company exchanged inventory for forgiveness of $15,000 of accrued unpaid rent. The Company had previously written off the value of this inventory resulting in a gain on the forgiveness of approximately $15,000. The Company no longer leases this Pembroke Park warehouse following the sale of inventory.

 

COVID-19.

 

Current economic conditions with COVID-19 have been, and continue to be, volatile and continued instability in these market conditions may limit our ability to access the capital necessary to fund and grow our business and to replace, in a timely manner, maturing liabilities or to successfully examine strategic alternatives. Quarantines would make our ability to look for strategic alternatives more difficult and prospects of borrowing or equity raises would be more challenging. Additionally, the sales of equity or convertible debt securities may result in dilution to our stockholders.

 

Product Development and Supply Agreement.

 

In September 2007, the Company entered into a Product Development and Supply Agreement under Singapore law (the “Agreement”) with Sing Lin Technologies Co. Ltd., a company based in Taichung, Taiwan (“Sing Lin”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company consigned to Sing Lin the development and design of the next generation Exer-Rest and related devices.

 

The Company notified Sing Lin in June 2010 that it was terminating the Agreement effective September 2010, and Sing Lin in July 2010 demanded that the Company place orders sufficient to fulfill the three year minimum purchase obligations in the Agreement. Sing Lin has not followed up on its July 2010 demand as of this filing and the Company does not anticipate that they will in the future. The Company has opinion from counsel that an adversarial process by Sing Lin is time-barred under the Limitation Act under Singapore law where the agreement was bound.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-looking Statements.

 

This Interim Report on Form 10-Q contains, in addition to historical information, certain forward-looking statements regarding Non-Invasive Monitoring Systems, Inc. (the “Company” or “NIMS,” also referred to as “us”, “we” or “our”). These forward-looking statements represent our expectations or beliefs concerning the Company’s operations, performance, financial condition, business strategies, and other information and that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. For this purpose, any statements contained in this Report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “estimate,” or “continue” or the negative or other variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The Company’s actual results of operations, some of which are beyond the Company’s control, could differ materially from the activities and results implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to the Company’s: history of operating losses and accumulated deficit; need for additional financing; dependence on management; risks related to proprietary rights; other factors described herein as well as the factors contained in “Item 1A - Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2019. We do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable law. These forward-looking statements are only predictions and reflect our views as of the date they are made with respect to future events and financial performance.

 

Overview

 

We previously were engaged in the development, manufacture and marketing of non-invasive, whole body periodic acceleration (“WBPA”) therapeutic platforms, which are motorized platforms that move a subject repetitively head to foot. The Company discontinued operations in May 2019, accordingly, certain assets, liabilities and expenses are classified as discontinued operations.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. A more detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies can be found in Note 2 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. While we believe that the factors we evaluate provide us with a meaningful basis for establishing and applying sound accounting policies, we cannot guarantee that the results will always be accurate. Since the determination of these estimates requires the exercise of judgment, actual results could differ from such estimates.

 

Results of Operations

 

In January 2009 our Exer-Rest line of therapeutic platforms was registered by the FDA in the United States as Class I (Exempt) Medical Devices. We began our sales activity with marketing and promotional pricing beginning in February 2009. We have discontinued those operations in May 2019. The Company is assessing potential mergers, acquisitions and strategic collaborations.

 

Three and six months ended January 31, 2020 compared to three and six months ended January 31, 2019

 

General and administrative costs and expenses from continuing operations. General and administrative (“G&A”) costs and expenses from continuing operations were $47,000 and $99,000 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2020, respectively, as compared to $66,000 and $201,000 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2019, respectively. The $19,000 and $102,000 decrease for the three and six months was primarily due to legal and professional services related to the Company’s exploration of a strategic target in 2019.

 

Selling, general and administrative costs and expenses from discontinued operations. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) costs and expenses from discontinued operations were $0 and $3,000 for the three and six months ended January 31 2020, as compared to $12,000 and $25,000 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2019. The $12,000 and $22,000 decrease were primarily due to the winding down of operations.

Total operating costs and expenses from continuing operations. Total operating costs and expenses were $47,000 and $99,000 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2020, respectively, as compared to $66,000 and $201,000 for the three and six months ended January 31 2019, respectively. The $19,000 and $102,000 decrease is explained above in G&A.

 

Interest expense. Net interest expense was $0 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2020, respectively, and net interest expense was $34,000 and $93,000 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2019. The $34,000 and $93,000 decrease was related to the Debt Exchange further described in Note 5 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements that satisfied outstanding principal.

 

Gain (loss) from discontinuing operations. Gain from discontinuing operations was $4,000 and $1,000 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2020 as compared to a loss of ($12,000) and ($25,000) for the three and six months ended January 31, 2019. The $16,000 and $26,000 decrease were primarily due to the write off of approximately $4,000 in accounts payable and other liabilities.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company’s operations have been primarily financed through private sales of its equity securities and advances under Credit Facility and Promissory Notes. At January 31, 2020, we had approximately $250,000 of cash and working capital deficit of approximately ($17,000).

 

We expect to incur losses from operations for the foreseeable future. It is likely that we will not be able to generate significant additional revenue and we will be required to obtain additional external financing through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or collaborative agreements to continue operations. No assurance can be given that such additional financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all.

 

Current economic conditions with COVID-19 have been, and continue to be, volatile and continued instability in these market conditions may limit our ability to access the capital necessary to fund and grow our business and to replace, in a timely manner, maturing liabilities or to successfully examine strategic alternatives. Additionally, the sales of equity or convertible debt securities may result in dilution to our stockholders.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $103,000 and $179,000 for six months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. This $76,000 decrease was primarily due to reduced legal expense related to the Company’s exploration of strategic alternatives during the six months ended January 31, 2019 as compared to the six months ended January 31, 2020.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

Not required for smaller reporting companies as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of January 31, 2020 were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no material changes in our internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that could materially affect, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended January 31, 2020. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
