REGENICIN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - THE COMPANY
Windstar, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Nevada on September 6, 2007. On July 19, 2010, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company to Regenicin, Inc. (“Regenicin”). In September 2013, Regenicin formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary for the sole purpose of conducting research in the State of Georgia (together, the “Company”). The subsidiary has no activity since its formation due to the lack of funding. The Company’s original business was the development of a purification device. Such business was assigned to the Company’s former management in July 2010. The Company adopted a new business plan and intended to develop and commercialize a potentially lifesaving technology by the introduction of tissue-engineered skin substitutes to restore the qualities of healthy human skin for use in the treatment of burns, chronic wounds and a variety of plastic surgery procedures.
The Company entered into a Know-How License and Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Know-How SPA”) with Lonza Walkersville, Inc. (“Lonza Walkersville”) on July 21, 2010. Pursuant to the terms of the Know-How SPA, the Company paid Lonza Walkersville $3,000,000 and, in exchange, the Company was to receive an exclusive license to use certain proprietary know-how and information necessary to develop and seek approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for the commercial sale of technology held by the Cutanogen Corporation (“Cutanogen”), a subsidiary of Lonza Walkersville. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Know-How SPA, the Company was entitled to receive certain related assistance and support from Lonza Walkersville upon payment of the $3,000,000. Under the Know-How SPA, once FDA approval was secured for the commercial sale of the technology, the Company would be entitled to acquire Cutanogen, Lonza Walkersville’s subsidiary, for $2,000,000 in cash. After prolonged attempts to negotiate disputes with Lonza Walkersville failed, on September 30, 2013, the Company filed a lawsuit against Lonza Walkersville, Lonza Group Ltd. and Lonza America, Inc. (“Lonza America”) in Fulton County Superior Court in the State of Georgia.
On November 7, 2014, the Company entered into an Asset Sale Agreement (the “Sale Agreement”) with Amarantus Bioscience Holdings, Inc., (“Amarantus”). Under the Sale Agreement, the Company agreed to sell to Amarantus all of its rights and claims in the litigation currently pending in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against Lonza Walkersville and Lonza America, Inc. (the “Lonza Litigation”). This includes all of the Cutanogen intellectual property rights and any Lonza manufacturing know-how technology. In addition, the Company agreed to sell the PermaDerm® trademark and related intellectual property rights associated with it. The purchase price paid by Amarantus was: (i) $3,600,000 in cash, and (ii) shares of common stock in Amarantus having a value of $3,000,000 at the date of the transaction.
The Company used the net proceeds of the transaction to fund development of cultured cell technology and to pursue approval of the products through the FDA as well as for general and administrative expenses. The Company has been developing its own unique cultured skin substitute since the Company received Lonza’s termination notice.
NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Interim Financial Statements:
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2018. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2017, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
F-5 |
Going Concern:
The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred cumulative losses and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $13.2 million from inception, expects to incur further losses in the development of its business and has been dependent on funding operations through the issuance of convertible debt, private sale of equity securities, and the proceeds from the Asset Sale. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company used the proceeds from the Asset Sale to fund operations. Currently management plans to finance operations through the private or public placement of debt and/or equity securities. However, no assurance can be given at this time as to whether the Company will be able to obtain such financing. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurement:
The Company measures fair value of its financial assets on a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
• Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
• Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable or inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
• Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The carrying value of cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and all loans and notes payable in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets approximated their values as of March 31, 2018 and September 30, 2017 due to their short-term nature.
Common stock of Amarantus represents equity investments in common stock that the Company classifies as available for sale. Such investments are carried at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Fair value is determined under the guidelines of GAAP which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Realized gains and losses, determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, are included in net income (loss). Unrealized gains and losses considered to be temporary are reported as other comprehensive income (loss) and are included in stockholders’ equity. Other than temporary declines in the fair value of investment is included in other income (expense) on the statement of operations.
The common stock of Amarantus is valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the security is traded. This valuation methodology is considered to be using Level 1 inputs. The total value of Amarantus common stock at March 31, 2018 is $14,125. The unrealized gain (loss) for the six and three months ended March 31, 2018 was $6,125 and $(21,125), net of income taxes, respectively, and was reported as a component of comprehensive loss. The unrealized gain for the six and three months ended March 31, 2017 was $7,975 and $8,775, net of income taxes, respectively, and was also reported as a component of comprehensive loss.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments-Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. The new standard principally affects accounting standards for equity investments, financial liabilities where the fair value option has been elected, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. Upon the effective date of the new standards, all equity investments in unconsolidated entities, other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting, will generally be measured at fair value through earnings. There will no longer be an available-for-sale classification and therefore, no changes in fair value will be reported in other comprehensive income (loss) for equity securities with readily determinable fair values. The new guidance on the classification and measurement will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption of certain items is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.
All other recent pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative standards groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to be significant to the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

NOTE 3 - LOSS PER SHARE
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to dilutive convertible securities, options, warrants and other potential common stock outstanding during the period; only in periods in which such effect is dilutive.
The following weighted average securities have been excluded from the calculation of net loss per share for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, as the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares:
2018 | 2017 | ||||||||
Warrants | 722,500 | 722,500 |
The following weighted average securities have been excluded from the calculation even though the exercise price was less than the average market price of the common shares because the effect of including these potential shares was anti-dilutive due to the net loss incurred during the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017:
2018 | 2017 | ||||||
Options | 9,927,819 | 8,955,998 | |||||
Convertible Preferred Stock | 8,850,000 | 8,850,000 |
The effects of options and warrants on diluted earnings per share are reflected through the use of the treasury stock method and the excluded shares that are “in the money” are disclosed above in that manner.
NOTE 4 – DUE FROM RELATED PARTY
The Company expects to purchase “Closed Herd” collagen from Pure Med Farma, LLC (“PureMed”), a development stage company in which the company’s CEO and CFO are member - owners. The Company and PureMed entered into a three-year supply agreement on October 16, 2016 naming PureMed as the exclusive provider of collagen to the Company. The Company has agreed to assist PureMed by providing consultants to work on certain tasks in order to gain FDA approval. Such consultants’ costs would be reimbursed by PureMed. On December 15, 2016, PureMed issued a note in the amount of $64,622 representing the advances for consultants through that date. Under the terms of the note, interest accrued at 8% per annum and was payable on or before December 15, 2017. The balance of the note plus accrued interest of $7,308 was repaid in full in May 2017.
NOTE 5 - LOANS PAYABLE
Loan Payable:
In February 2011, an investor advanced $10,000. The loan does not bear interest and is due on demand. At both March 31, 2018 and September 30, 2017, the loan payable totaled $10,000.
Loans Payable - Officer:
In September 2017, John Weber, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, made an advance to the Company of $10,000. From November 2017 through March 2018 additional advances were made totaling $80,958. The loans do not bear interest and are due on demand.
In September 2017, J. Roy Nelson, the Company’s Chief Science Officer, made an advance to the Company of $10,000. From November 2017 through March 2018 additional advances totaling $4,750 were made. The loans do not bear interest and are due on demand.
F-7 |
NOTE 6 - BRIDGE FINANCING
On December 21, 2011, the Company issued a $150,000 promissory note to an individual. The note bore interest so that the Company would repay $175,000 on the maturity date of June 21, 2012, which correlated to an effective rate of 31.23%. Additional interest of 10% was charged on any late payments. The note was not paid at the maturity date and the Company is incurring additional interest as described above. At both March 31, 2018 and September 30, 2017, the note balance was $175,000. Interest expense was $8,726 for both the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. Interest expense was $4,315 for both the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. Accrued interest on the note was $101,116 and $92,389 as of March 31, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively and is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheet.
NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES
The Company did not incur current tax expense for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.
At March 31, 2018, the Company had available approximately $4.6 million of net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”) which expire in the years 2029 through 2037. However, the use of the NOLs generated prior to September 30, 2011 totaling $0.7 million is limited under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), imposes an annual limitation on the amount of taxable income that may be offset by a corporation’s NOLs if the corporation experiences an “ownership change” as defined in Section 382 of the Code.
On December 22, 2017, new tax legislation came into effect. The provisions are generally effective for years beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The most impactful item to the Company in the new law is the change in tax rate from 34% to 21%. This will reduce the gross deferred tax assets prior to existing full valuation allowance from an effective rate of 40% to an effective rate of 27%. The provision and disclosures for the period ended March 31, 2018 reflect the new tax legislation.
Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets at March 31, 2018 and September 31, 2017 are as follows:
March 31, 2018 | September 30, 2017 | ||||||
Net operating loss carry forwards | $ | 1,240,222 | $ | 1,780,508 | |||
Unrealized loss | 807,975 | 1,197,000 | |||||
Stock based compensation | 27,070 | 40,104 | |||||
Accrued expenses | 539,325 | 686,800 | |||||
Total deferred tax assets | 2,614,592 | 3,704,412 | |||||
Valuation allowance | (2,614,592 | ) | (3,704,412 | ) | |||
Net deferred tax assets | $ | — | $ | — |
Due to the uncertainty of their realization, a valuation allowance has been established for all of the income tax benefit for these deferred tax assets.
At both March 31, 2018 and September 30, 2017, the Company had no material unrecognized tax benefits and no adjustments to liabilities or operations were required. The Company does not expect that its unrecognized tax benefits will materially increase within the next twelve months. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in general and administrative expense. As of March 31, 2018, and September 30, 2017 the Company has not recorded any provisions for accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
The Company files its federal income tax returns under a statute of limitations. The 2014 through 2017 tax years generally remain subject to examination by federal tax authorities.

NOTE 8 - STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIENCY
Preferred Stock:
Series A
At both March 31, 2018 and September 30, 2017, 885,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”) were outstanding.
Series A Preferred pays a dividend of 8% per annum on the stated value and has a liquidation preference equal to the stated value of the shares ($885,000 liquidation preference as of March 31, 2018 and September 30, 2017 plus dividends in arrears as per below). Each share of Series A Preferred Stock has an initial stated value of $1 and is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the rate of 10 for 1.
The Series A Preferred Stock was marketed through a private placement memorandum that included a reference to a ratchet provision which would have allowed the holders of the stock to claim a better conversion rate based on other stock transactions conducted by the Company during the three-year period following the original issuance of the shares. The Certificate of Designation does not contain a ratchet provision. Certain of the stock related transactions consummated by the Company during this time period may have triggered this ratchet provision, and thus created a claim by holders of the Series A Preferred Stock who purchased based on this representation for a greater conversion rate than initially provided. The Company is currently negotiating with some of the remaining Series A holders regarding this claim and their conversation rate of their Series A Preferred Stock. Changes to the preferred stock conversion ratio may result in modification or extinguishment accounting. That may result in a deemed preferred stock dividend which would reduce net income available to common stockholders in the calculation of earnings per share. Certain of the smaller Series A holders have already converted or provided notice of conversion of their shares. In respect of this claim, the Company and its outside counsel determined that it is not possible to offer an opinion regarding the outcome. An adverse outcome could materially increase the accumulated deficit.
The dividends are cumulative commencing on the issue date when and if declared by the Board of Directors. As of March 31, 2018, and September 30, 2017, dividends in arrears were $499,140 ($.56 per share) and $463,837 ($.52 per share), respectively.
Series B
On January 23, 2012, the Company designated a new class of preferred stock called Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred”). Four million shares have been authorized with a liquidation preference of $2.00 per share. Each share of Series B Preferred is convertible into ten shares of common stock. Holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock have a right to a dividend (pro-rata to each holder) based on a percentage of the gross revenue earned by the Company in the United States, if any, and the number of outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, as follows: Year 1 - Total Dividend to all Series B holders = .03 x Gross Revenue in the U.S. Year 2 - Total Dividend to all Series B holders = .02 x Gross Revenue in the U.S. Year 3 - Total Dividend to all Series B holders = .01 x Gross Revenue in the U.S. At March 31, 2018, no shares of Series B Preferred are outstanding.
NOTE 9 – SALE OF ASSET
On November 7, 2014, the Company entered into a Sale Agreement, as amended on January 30, 2015, with Amarantus. See Note 1. Under the Sale Agreement, the Company agreed to sell to Amarantus all of its rights and claims in the Lonza Litigation. These include all of the Cutanogen intellectual property rights and any Lonza manufacturing know-how technology.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe-harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Further information concerning our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included herein and in our other filings with the SEC.
Overview
The company’s major objective for 2018 remains to secure the required funding to finalize some additional requirements of the IND application, and begin the clinical trials. It is estimated that the cost to finalize the IND will be approximately 1.5 million dollars, and the cost to complete Phase 1 of the clinical trial will be approximately 2 million dollars. As previously reported, our goal in obtaining this funding has been to minimize shareholders' dilution as much as possible. Consequently, we are primarily pursuing financing through the issuance of a debt instrument and international licensing agreements. We have been working on a significant debt financing over the last 6 months and hope to complete this form of financing during the coming quarter. In addition, earlier this month, our CEO, Randall McCoy began discussions with Saudi Arabian ministers related to potential joint venture opportunities.
We have worked with a number of potential investors and continue to pursue the necessary funding based on our stated objectives. It has taken longer to raise the funds than originally estimated; however, we remain confident that our goal is achievable. In the interim, the officers and related parties intend to continue to fund the Company’s essential operating costs.
We have begun the preliminary planning for the clinical trials to the extent we are able, considering funding constraints. As previously reported, we have chosen a Clinical Research Organization to assist in our IND submission and conducting the trials. Clinical site selection and patient recruitment should be somewhat simpler than other clinical trials, as we are limited in site selection to the 150 burn centers qualified to treat catastrophic burns. In addition, the surgical protocol will be similar to the grafting procedures currently in use at those facilities. NovaDerm® should thus require minimal physician training.
The initial trials are planned to begin with a total of ten subjects with an Initial Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) review of safety on the first three subjects once they have reached 6 months follow-up. We do not intend to interrupt our trial waiting for the DSMB report.
Our management is considering various possibilities and approaches to obtaining clinical trial materials and manufacturing. While no final decision has been made, management’s approach is to set up the trials so as to allow for a seamless transition into commercial production upon approval.

Results of Operations for the Three and Six Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017
We generated no revenues from September 6, 2007 (date of inception) to March 31, 2018. We do not expect to generate revenues until we are able to obtain FDA approval of our product and thereafter successfully market and sell the product.
We incurred operating expenses of $228,413 and $431,452 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018, compared with operating expenses of $295,295 and $590,606 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2017. General and administrative expenses accounted for all of our operating expenses for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018. General and administrative expenses accounted for substantially all of our operating expenses for the three and six months ended March 31, 2017. The major difference and shift in general administrative expense from the six months ended March 31, 2017 was a reduction of $105,460 of consulting expenses.
Net other expense was $4,853 and $9,920 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018, as compared to net other expenses of $3,040 and $4,551 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2017. Other income and expenses for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018 consisted of only interest expenses. Other income and expenses for the same periods in 2017 consisted of interest expense and interest income which represented the main difference.
After provision for preferred stock dividends of $17,458 and $35,303 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018, we recorded a net loss available to common stockholders of $250,724 and $476,675 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018. By comparison, we recorded a net loss available to common stockholders of $315,793 and $615,460 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2017.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2018, we had cash of $2,111 and total current assets of $37,891. As of March 31, 2018, we had current liabilities of $2,914,583. We therefore had working capital deficit of $2,876,692.
Operating activities used $80,517 in cash for the six months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease in cash was primarily attributable to funding the loss for the period.
Cash flows from financing activities includes proceeds from loans from officers of $85,708, net of repayments of notes payable of $22,279.
Investing activities provided no cash or cost during the reported period. We note that the value of the shares of Amarantus we obtained and which created income from that sale of assets transaction have declined significantly in value since the consummation of the agreement.
We have issued various promissory notes to meet our short term demands, the terms of which are provided in the notes to the consolidated financial statements accompanying this report. While this source of bridge financing has been helpful in the short term to meet our financial obligations, we will need additional financing to fund our operations, continue with the FDA approval process, and implement our business plan. Our long term financial needs are estimated at about $8-10 million.
Based upon our current financial condition, we do not have sufficient cash to operate our business at the current level for the next twelve months. We intend to fund operations through increased debt and/or equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund expenditures or other cash requirements. We plan to seek additional financing in a private equity or debt offering to secure funding for operations. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional funding. If we are not able to secure additional funding, the implementation of our business plan will be impaired. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2018, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.

Going Concern
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred operating losses from inception, expect to incur further losses in the development of our business, and have been dependent on funding operations through the issuance of convertible debt and private sale of equity securities. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans include continuing to finance operations through the private or public placement of debt and/or equity securities and the reduction of expenditures. However, no assurance can be given at this time as to whether we will be able to achieve these objectives. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of March 31, 2018. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the presence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has identified the following material weaknesses which have caused management to conclude that, as of March 31, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines.
Remediation Plan to Address the Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our company plans to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal controls over financial reporting. During the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending September 30, 2018 assuming we are able to obtain necessary funding: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.
We are unable to remedy our controls related to the inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management until we receive financing to hire additional employees.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
