SHARING SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 –DESCRIPTION OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Company was originally formed to develop and market a taxi-ride sharing website and application (“web app”). Beginning in February 2017, the Company expanded its business model to also offer a wide range of travel and technology management and other products and services. In addition, in December 2017, the Company launched its Elevate product line. Elevate, are Nutraceutical products developed and owned by Elevacity Global, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company uses a direct-selling model. As part of its growth strategy, the Company has completed several strategic acquisitions and purchases of equity interests in certain companies, as more fully discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period from May 5, 2017 (inception) to April 30, 2018.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Sharing Services, Inc. and subsidiaries for the period from May 5, 2017 (inception) to April 30, 2018.
Going concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and settle its liabilities in the ordinary course of its business for the foreseeable future. The Company is an emerging growth company and, prior to its fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2018, had not generated positive cash flows from operations. In addition, prior to its fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2018, the Company had virtually no sales. Historically, the Company has funded its working capital needs (including its inventory needs) and acquisitions primarily with capital transactions and with unsecured debt, including the issuance of convertible notes. The Company intends to continue to raise capital and use secured and unsecured debt, including the issuance of convertible notes, and other financing products from time to time as needed to fund its working capital needs and its growth.
The Company recently initiated comprehensive direct sales and social media marketing initiatives intended to promote its products and services and to drive long-term sales growth. There can be no assurance about the success of the Company’s growth initiatives and, accordingly, this raises reasonable doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company believes it will be able to fund its working capital needs for the next 12 months with unsecured borrowings, including the issuance of convertible notes, capital transactions and, ultimately, cash from operations.
These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
We adhere to the same accounting policies in the preparation of our condensed consolidated interim financial statements as we do in the preparation of our full-year consolidated financial statements. As permitted under GAAP, interim accounting for certain expenses is based on full-year assumptions.
Revenue Recognition
As discussed below, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, using the cumulative effect transition method, effective May 1, 2018. The Company derives revenue from the sale of health and wellness, energy, technology, insurance, training, media and travel products and services. The Company receives sales orders online and through its “back-office” operations, which creates a contract and determines the transaction price. The Company recognizes revenue upon satisfaction of its performance obligation when it transfers control of the promised goods and services to the customer. With respect to products and services sold, the performance obligation is satisfied upon receipt and acceptance of the product and services by the customer. With respect to subscription-based services, including Elepreneur membership fees, the performance obligation is satisfied over time (generally one year or less). The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the time when we invoice and/or collect payment under the contract. Deferred sales revenue associated with our performance obligation for customers’ right of return were $120,400 at October 31, 2018, net of potential restocking fees of $0, and were reported in accrued and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Deferred revenue associated with our performance obligation for services offered on a subscription basis were $646,500 at October 31, 2018 and are expected to be recognized over one year and were reported in accrued and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.

No individual customer, or group of customers, represents 10% or more of our consolidated net sales and over 95% of our consolidated net sales are from sales to customers located in the United States. For the three and six months ended October 31, 2018, over 95% of our consolidated net sales are from the sale of our Elevate product line (including approximately 33% from the sales of coffee and coffee-related products and approximately 28% from the sale of our Nutraceutical products). In addition, for the three and six months ended October 31, 2018, product purchases from one supplier accounted for approximately 92% of total purchases.
Sales Commissions
The Company recognizes sales commission expense when incurred. During the three and six months ended October 31, 2018, sales commission expense, which is included in selling and marketing expenses in our consolidated statements of operations, was $7.9 million and $13.6 million, respectively.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and (iii) the reported amount of net revenues and expenses recognized during the periods presented. Actual results may differ from these estimates in amounts that may be material to our consolidated financial statements. We believe that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our financial statements, including our condensed consolidated interim financial statements, are reasonable. In managements’ opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Accounting Changes
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which supersedes Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. A core principle of the new guidance is that an entity should measure revenue in connection with its sale of goods and services to a customer based on the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for each of those goods and services. The new standard must be adopted using either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. For public companies, this amendment was effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. As required, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, using the cumulative effect transition method, effective May 1, 2018 and its adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and business.
The impact of adopting the new revenue standard on our financial statements was not material and is associated with our customers’ right of return and to recognition of revenue from services offered on a subscription basis. We now defer revenue (and the related cost of goods sold) associated with our customers’ right of return. The impact of adopting the new standard on our revenue from subscription-based services was not significant due to the short subscription periods (general one year or less) and to our prior policy of recognizing revenue from subscription-based services ratably over the subscription period.
Historically, our sales returns have been approximately 2% of our consolidated net sales and our subscription-based revenues have been 1% of our consolidated net sales. The Company is an emerging growth company with limited sales history. Going forward, the Company will continue to monitor its sales returns history and its sales of subscription-based services, and the Company will continue to recognize revenue in proportion to the documented pattern of satisfaction by the Company of such customer rights. Further, the Company will provide the added disclosures required by ASU No. 2014-09 when material.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business” (“ASU 2017-01”). ASU 2017-01 must be applied prospectively and provides a narrower framework to be used to determine if a set of assets and activities constitutes a business compared to the framework under the prior guidance and is generally expected to result in greater consistency in the application of ASC Topic No. 805, “Business Combinations.” For public companies, this amendment was effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. As required, the Company adopted ASU No. 2017-01 effective May 1, 2018 and its adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, “Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets.” The amendments clarified that nonfinancial assets that are within the scope of ASC Subtopic 610-20 may include nonfinancial assets transferred within a legal entity to a counterparty. For example, a parent may transfer control of nonfinancial assets by transferring ownership interests in a consolidated subsidiary. For public companies, this amendment was effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. As required, the Company adopted ASU No. 2017-05 effective May 1, 2018 and its adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which will require lessees to report on their balance sheets a right-of-use asset and a lease liability in connection with most lease agreements classified as operating leases under the prior guidance. Under the new guidance, the lease liability must be measured initially based on the present value of future lease payments, subject to certain conditions. The right-of-use asset must be measured initially based on the amount of the liability, plus certain initial direct costs. The new guidance further requires that leases be classified at inception as either (a) operating leases or (b) finance leases. For operating leases, periodic expense will generally be flat (straight-line) throughout the life of the lease. For finance leases, periodic expense will decline (similar to capital leases under prior rules) over the life of the lease. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition method. For public companies, this amendment is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. We have not yet adopted this accounting pronouncement and are currently evaluating the potential impact this standard may have on our consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations.
NOTE 3 – FAIR VALUE MEASURENTS OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Our financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable and derivative liabilities. The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
There were no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the periods covered by the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Consistent with the valuation hierarchy described above, we categorized certain of our financial assets and liabilities as follows:

NOTE 4 – EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
We calculate basic earnings (loss) per share by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated similarly but reflects the potential impact of outstanding stock options, stock warrants and other commitments to issue common stock, including shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible notes outstanding, except where the impact would be anti-dilutive.
The following table sets forth the computations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share:

NOTE 8 – INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
The Company made these investments consistent with its strategy to grow its business organically and by making strategic acquisitions of businesses and technologies that augment its products portfolio. Specifically, each of these investees own and market products that fit the Company’s direct selling model and add to its products portfolio. However, the Company does not, directly or indirectly, hold a controlling financial interest in any of these investees, as the phrase “controlling financial interest” is defined in GAAP. Thus, the Company does not report these investees on a consolidated basis. In addition, the Company does not exert influence over the operations or policies of the investees. The Company’s officers, directors, and management are not involved in the operations or policies of the investees. Accordingly, the Company accounts for its investment in these investees on the cost basis.

NOTE 11 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
At April 30, 2018, the Company had determined that the conversion feature on its convertible notes and stock warrants should be classified as a derivative liability, under the ASC 815 guidance, since the conversion rate was tied to the market price of the Company’s common stock and, accordingly, there was no explicit limit to the number of shares issuable upon conversion due to contingencies affecting the conversion rate.
The Company determined that its derivative liabilities must be classified in Level 3 of the three-level hierarchy for measuring fair value (please see Note 3) and uses a multi-nominal lattice model to calculate the fair value of these liabilities. The multi-nominal lattice model requires six basic data inputs: (1) the exercise, conversion or strike price, (2) the expected life (in years), (3) the risk-free interest rate, (4) the current stock price, (5) the expected volatility for the Company’s common stock, and (6) the expected dividend yield. Changes to these inputs could result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.
During the three months ended October 31, 2018, the Company repaid the convertible notes with a variable conversion rate, a conversion rate tied to the market price of the Company’s common stock. The remaining convertible notes and warrants outstanding at October 31, 2018 have a fixed conversion rate and, accordingly, the number of shares issuable upon conversion is determinable with certainty. As a result, the Company recognized a decrease in its derivative liability resulting in the beneficial conversion feature associated with the remaining convertible notes and warrants of $1,187,242 (recognized as an increase to additional paid-in capital) and a gain on fair value of derivatives liabilities of $20,015,840.
The following weighted-average assumptions were used when valuing our derivative liabilities:
Six
months ended October 31, 2018 | Period from May
5, 2017 | |||||||
Expected term (in years) | 1.0-5.0 | 0.31 – 1.0 | ||||||

Expected dividend yield | - | - | ||||||
Risk-free interest rate | 1.65% - 2.96 | % | 0.99% - 1.34 | % |
The following table summarizes the changes in the derivative liabilities included in our consolidated balance sheet for the six months ended October 31, 2018:

Results of Operations
The Three Months Ended October 31, 2018 compared to the Three Months Ended October 31, 2017
Net Sales
For the three months ended October 31, 2018, our consolidated net sales were $18.0 million and consisted primarily of sales of our Elevacity health and wellness product line, which was introduced in December 2017. The Company anticipates its consolidated net sales to continue to grow at a rapid pace during its fiscal year ending April 30, 2019.
Gross Profit
For the three months ended October 31, 2018, our consolidated gross profit was $11.2 million and our consolidated gross profit as a percentage of consolidated net sales, or consolidated gross margin, was 62.2%. For the three months ended October 31, 2018, our consolidated gross margin benefited from economies of scale (as the volume of product shipped increased, for example, compared to the six-month period ended April 30, 2018) and ongoing cost reduction efforts in connection with our order-fulfilment operations and back-office processes.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
For the three months ended October 31, 2018, our consolidated selling and marketing expenses increased by $7.8 million to $8.2 million, compared to the three months ended October 31, 2017, principally as a result of sales commission expense of $7.9 million associated with the increase in sales.
As a percentage of consolidated net sales, consolidated selling and marketing expenses were 45.5% for the three months ended October 31, 2018. As our sales volume continue to grow, we expect our consolidated selling and marketing expenses to grow at a slower pace than our consolidated net sales.
General and Administrative Expenses
For the three months ended October 31, 2018, our consolidated general and administrative expenses (which include corporate employee compensation and benefits, share-based compensation, professional fees, rent and other occupancy costs, certain consulting fees, telephone and information technology expenses, insurance premiums, and other administrative expenses) increased by $1.0 million to $2.1 million, compared to the three months ended October 31, 2017. The increase in consolidated general and administrative expenses consisted principally of employee compensation and benefits of $826,195, incremental consulting and contract labor expenses of $366,024, higher legal and other professional fees of $285,988, higher rent and other occupancy costs of $124,677, and higher insurance and other administrative expenses. This increase was partially offset by lower share-based compensation of $1,042,500.
As a percentage of consolidated net sales, consolidated general and administrative expenses were 11.8% for the three months ended October 31, 2018. As our sales volume continue to grow, we expect our consolidated general and administrative expenses to grow at a slower pace than our consolidated net sales.
Interest Expense
Consolidated interest expense, including amortization of debt discount of $509,711 and prepayment penalties of $86,701 associated with convertible notes paid, increased to $626,028 for the three months ended October 31, 2018, compared to $96,586 for the three months ended October 31, 2017 as a result of an increase in convertible notes outstanding. For the three months ended October 31, 2018, interest expense is net of interest income of $8,318.
Net Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities
The change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities associated with the Company’s convertible notes, stock options and stock warrants outstanding, was a net gain of $29,910,472 for the three months ended October 31, 2018, compared to a net loss of $1,100,587 for the three months ended October 31, 2017. During the three months ended October 31, 2018, the Company repaid the convertible notes with a variable conversion rate, a conversion rate tied to the market price of the Company’s common stock.

As of the date herein, the ability of the Company to consistently generate future pre-tax earnings or taxable earnings remains uncertain. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded an income tax benefit in its consolidated financial statements for the periods covered in this Quarterly Report.
Net Loss and Loss per Share
As a result of the foregoing, for the three months ended October 31, 2018, our consolidated net earnings were $30,151,246 compared to a net loss of $2,736,557 for the three months ended October 31, 2017.

For the six months ended October 31, 2018, our consolidated gross margin benefited from economies of scale (as the volume of product shipped increased, for example, compared to the six-month period ended April 30, 2018) and ongoing cost reduction efforts in connection with our order-fulfilment operations and back-office processes.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
Our consolidated selling and marketing expenses increased $13.5 million, to $14.2 million, for the six months ended October 31, 2018, compared to the period from May 5, 2017 (inception) to October 31, 2017, principally as a result of sales commissions of $13.6 million associated with the increase in sales.
As a percentage of consolidated net sales, consolidated selling and marketing expenses were 46.0% for the six months ended October 31, 2018. As our sales volume continue to grow, we expect our consolidated selling and marketing expenses to grow at a slower pace than our consolidated net sales.

This increase was partially offset by lower share-based compensation of $1,308,948.
25 |
As a percentage of consolidated net sales, consolidated general and administrative expenses were 12.0% for the six months ended October 31, 2018. As our sales volume continue to grow, we expect our consolidated general and administrative expenses to grow at a slower pace than our consolidated net sales.
Interest Expense
Consolidated interest expense, including amortization of debt discount of $845,011 and prepayment penalties of $123,435 associated with convertible notes paid, increased to $1,028,615 for the six months ended October 31, 2018, compared to $123,195 for the period from May 5, 2017 (inception) to October 31, 2017 as a result of an increase in convertible notes outstanding. For the six months ended October 31, 2018, interest expense is net of interest income of $16,636.
Net Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities
The change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities associated with the Company’s convertible notes, stock options and stock warrants outstanding, was a net gain of $29,884,636 for the six months ended October 31, 2018, compared to a net loss of $1,122,591 for the period from May 5, 2017 (inception) to October 31, 2017. During the three months ended October 31, 2018, the Company repaid the convertible notes with a variable conversion rate, a conversion rate tied to the market price of the Company’s common stock. The Company accounts for the conversion features of its convertible notes, stock options and stock warrants under ASC 815. Please see Note 11 of the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for more information about the net change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities.
Provision for Income Taxes
The Company is an emerging growth company and, prior to its fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2018, had not generated pre-tax earnings or taxable earnings from its operations. As of the date herein, the ability of the Company to consistently generate future pre-tax earnings or taxable earnings remains uncertain. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded an income tax benefit in its consolidated financial statements for the periods covered in this Quarterly Report.
Net Loss and Loss per Share
As a result of the foregoing, for the six months ended October 31, 2018, our consolidated net earnings were $30,059,995 compared to a net loss of $3,377,383 for the period from May 5, 2017 (inception) to October 31, 2017. Fully diluted earnings per share were $0.10 for the six months ended October 31, 2018, compared to a fully diluted loss per share $0.07 for the period from May 5, 2017 (inception) to October 31, 2017.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We broadly define liquidity as our ability to generate sufficient cash, from internal and external sources, to meet our obligations and commitments. We believe that, for this purpose, liquidity cannot be considered separately from capital resources.
Working Capital
At October 31, 2018, cash and cash equivalents were $1,099,249. Based upon the current level of operations and investments necessary to grow our business, we anticipate that existing cash balances and funds expected to be generated by operations will likely not be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements, and to fund potential acquisitions and anticipated capital expenditures, including potential investments in information technology, over the next 12 months. Accordingly, we intend to obtain additional financing through the issuance of equity securities and secured and unsecured debt, including the issuance of convertible notes, and other financing products from time to time as needed to fund our working capital needs and our growth.
Historical Cash Flows
Historically, our primary sources of cash have been capital transactions involving the issuance of equity securities and debt (Please see “Recent Issuances of Equity Securities” and “Debt” below) and our primary uses of cash have been for operating activities, capital expenditures and acquisitions in the ordinary course of our business.
26 |
The following table shows our sources and uses of cash for the six months ended October 31, 2018, compared to the period from May 5, 2017 (inception) to October 31, 2017:

Net increase in cash and cash equivalents | $ | 330,981 | $ | 69,483 | $ |
Net Cash Used by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $1,422,294 to $624,322 for the six months ended October 31, 2018, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $797,972 for the period from May 5, 2017 (inception) to October 31, 2017. This change was mainly due to an increase in operating earnings of $3,335,571, partially offset by a decrease in stock-based payments of $1,264,948 and net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $651,956.
Net Cash Used by Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities increased by $192,861 to $150,256 for the six months ended October 31, 2018, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $42,605 for the period from May 5, 2017 (inception) to October 31, 2017. This change was mainly due to an increase in capital expenditures of $130,256 and a decrease in net cash acquired in connection with acquisitions of $57,605.
Net Cash Used by Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities increased by $967,935 to $143,085 for the six months ended October 31, 2018, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $824,850 for the period from May 5, 2017 (inception) to October 31, 2017. This change was due to lower proceeds of $608,701 from issuances of equity securities and higher net repayments of promissory notes of $411,435, partially offset by higher net proceeds from related-party loans and cash advances of $52,201.
Significant Recent Acquisitions
On May 15, 2018, Legacy Direct Global, LLC. (“Legacy Direct Global”), a Texas limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sharing Services, Sharing Services, and Legacy Direct, LLC. (the “Seller”) entered into an agreement pursuant to which Legacy Direct Global acquired certain assets and operational business and assumed certain liabilities of the Seller (the “Agreement”). In connection with the Agreement, Sharing Services has agreed to issue 100,000 restricted shares of its common stock and 900,000 stock warrants. The stock warrants enable the holders to acquire up to 900,000 restricted shares of Sharing Services’ common stock, subject to the achievement by the acquired business of certain specified performance targets over a period of up to three years. The stock warrants have an exercise price per share equal to 50% of the average 10-day trading price of Sharing Services’ common stock. In June 2018, the Company completed the acquisition. The acquisition involved the purchase of assets with a preliminary value of $83,500.
On July 6, 2018, Sharing Services issued a Binding Letter of Intent (the “Hyten LOI”) expressing its intent to purchase certain operating assets of Hyten Global LLC (“Hyten”), the owner of certain multi-level marketing businesses operating principally in the United States and Asia. Under the terms of the Hyten LOI, Sharing Services agreed to provide Hyten with temporary loans and/or cash advances necessary to satisfy certain of Hyten’s financial obligations and the parties engaged in due diligence and negotiations aimed at completing the asset acquisition transaction within 120 days from the effective date of the Hyten LOI. On July 25, 2018, Sharing Services and Hyten entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Sharing Services agreed to purchase certain operating assets from Hyten. As of October 31, 2018, Sharing Services had provided secured loans in the aggregate amount of $655,789 and unsecured cash advances of $12,097 to Hyten under the Hyten LOI.
27 |
On September 28, 2018, Sharing Services and Hyten entered into a Rescission and Mutual Release agreement pursuant to which the parties agreed to terminate the transaction contemplated in the Asset Purchase Agreement and exchanged customary mutual releases. In addition, on September 28, 2018, Hyten executed a promissory note in favor of Sharing Services for $655,789 relating to cash advances received from Sharing Services prior to that date under the terms of the Hyten LOI. The note bears interest at 5% and is secured by substantially all of Hyten’s assets. On October 3, 2018, Sharing Services and Hyten entered into a Sublicense Agreement pursuant to which Hyten granted to Sharing Services a non-exclusive sublicense to a Travel Application software (the “Travel App”) and any enhancements thereof. The Travel App sublicense was a part of the transaction contemplated in the Asset Purchase Agreement.
Subject to approval by its Board of Directors, the Company intends to continue to make strategic acquisitions and purchases of equity interests in business that complement its business competencies and growth strategy. Such acquisitions and purchases of equity interests are expected to be funded with cash and cash equivalents, cash provided by operations, and the issuance of equity securities and debt. There is no assurance the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing or otherwise complete desirable acquisitions and purchases of equity interests.

Accounting Changes and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For discussion of accounting changes and recent accounting pronouncements, please see Note 2 to the of the Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
We are a Smaller Reporting Company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, and, accordingly, are not required to provide the information called for by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Controls Evaluation and Related CEO and CFO Certifications. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer (“CEO”) and principal financial officer (“CFO”), conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of October 31, 2018.
Certifications of our CEO and our CFO, which are required in accordance with Rule 13a-14 of the Exchange Act, are attached as exhibits to this Quarterly Report. This “Controls and Procedures” section includes the information concerning the controls evaluation referred to in the certifications and it should be read in conjunction with the certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. A system of controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Because of the limitations in all such systems, no evaluation can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Furthermore, the design of any system of controls and procedures is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how unlikely. Because of these inherent limitations in a cost-effective system of controls and procedures, misstatements or omissions due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Scope of the Controls Evaluation. The evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures included a review of their objectives and design, our implementation of the controls and procedures and the effect of the controls and procedures on the information generated for use in this Quarterly Report. In the course of the evaluation, we sought to identify whether we had any data errors, control problems or acts of fraud and to confirm that appropriate corrective action, including process improvements, was being undertaken if needed. This type of evaluation is performed on a quarterly basis so that conclusions concerning the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures can be reported in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Annual Reports on Form 10-K.
Conclusions regarding Disclosure Controls. Based on the required evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of October 31, 2018, we maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. During our most recent fiscal quarter, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
30 |
The Company from time to time is involved in various claims and lawsuits incidental to the conduct of its business in the ordinary course. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Please refer to information contained in ITEM 1A, — “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period from May 5, 2017 (inception) to April 30, 2018.
