This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) of SQL Technologies Corp. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) contains forward-looking statements that are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to management. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Form 10-Q, including statements regarding our strategy, future financial condition, future operations, projected costs, prospects, plans, objectives of management, outlook, and expected market growth, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the following words: “may,” “might,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “aim,” “objective,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “continue,” “ongoing,” “target,” “seek” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. These statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which have been, and may further be, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from the information expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, statements about:

 

our ability to successfully launch, develop additional features and achieve market acceptance of our smart products and technologies, access and integrate our products and technologies with third-party platforms or technologies, respond to rapidly changing technology and customer demands, and compete in our industry;

our ability to raise additional financing to support our operations as needed;
our ability to comply with the terms of, and timely repay, our current debt financing;
the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and operations, including the potential impact on manufacturing operations in China;
our reliance on a limited number of third-party manufacturers and suppliers and our ability to successfully reduce our production costs;
our potential dependence upon a limited number of customers and/or on contracts awarded through competitive bidding processes;
any downturn in the cyclical industries in which our customers operate;

the potential impact of cybersecurity breaches or disruptions to our information systems, including our cloud-based infrastructure;
the potential impact of natural disasters and other catastrophic events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic;
risks related to ownership of our common stock; and
the potential impact of anti-takeover and director and officer liability provisions in our charter documents and under Florida law.

 

These forward-looking statements represent our intentions, plans, expectations, assumptions, and beliefs about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, including unpredictable or unanticipated factors that we have not discussed in this Form 10-Q. Investors should refer to the heading “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for a discussion of other important factors, many of which are out of our control, that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. As a result of these factors, we cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q will prove to be accurate. Furthermore, if the forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may be material. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by us or any other person that we will achieve our objectives and plans in any specified time frame, or at all. The forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q represent our views as of the date of this Form 10-Q. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change; however, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by U.S. federal securities laws. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this Form 10-Q.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

SQL Technologies Corp., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), was originally organized in May 2004 as a limited liability company under the name of Safety Quick Light, LLC. The Company was converted to corporation on November 6, 2012. Effective August 12, 2016, the Company changed its name from “Safety Quick Lighting & Fans Corp.” to “SQL Technologies Corp.” The Company holds over 60 U.S. and global patents and patent applications and has received a variety of final electrical code approvals, including UL, United Laboratories of Canada (cUL) and Conformité Européenne (CE), inclusion in the 2017 and 2020 National Electric Code (“NEC”) Code Book. The Company maintains offices in Johns Creek, Georgia, Pompano Beach, Florida, and Guangdong Province, China.

 

The Company has a series of advanced-safe smart platform technologies. The Company’s first-generation technologies enable light fixtures, ceiling fans and other electrically wired products to be installed safely and plugged-in into a ceiling’s electrical outlet box within seconds, and without the need to touch hazardous wires. The plug and play technology method is a universal power-plug device that has a matching receptacle that is simply connected to the electrical outlet box on the ceiling, enabling a safe and quick plug and play installation of light fixtures and ceiling fans in just seconds. The plug and play power-plug technology, eliminates the need of touching hazardous electrical wires while installing light fixtures, ceiling fans and other hard wired electrical products. In recent years the Company has expanded the capabilities of its power-plug product, to include advanced safe and quick universal installation methods, as well as advanced smart capabilities. The smart features include control of light fixtures and ceiling fans by the SkyHome App, through WIFI, Bluetooth Low Energy and voice control. It allows scheduling, energy savings eco mode, dimming, back-up emergency light, night light, light color changing and much more. The Company’s second-generation technology is an all-in-one safe and smart advanced platform that is designed to enhance all-around safety and lifestyle of homes and other buildings.

 

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following is a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies:

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022 and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 are unaudited. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the respective fiscal years. The consolidated statement of financial condition at December 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statement presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 for additional disclosures and accounting policies.

 

Reclassifications

 

For comparability, reclassifications of certain prior-year balances were made in order to confirm with current-year presentations, such as grouping of common stock and additional paid-in capital.

 

8
 

 

Inventory

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Cost principally consists of the purchase price (adjusted for lower of cost or market), customs, duties, and freight. The Company periodically reviews historical sales activity to determine potentially obsolete items and evaluates the impact of any anticipated changes in future demand.

 

   March 31, 2022   December 31, 2021 
Inventory, component parts  $918,651   $918,651 

 

Loss Per Share

 

Basic net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period.

 

The Company uses the “treasury stock” method to determine whether there is a dilutive effect of outstanding convertible debt, option and warrant contracts. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized net loss and a dilutive net loss, and the effect of considering any common stock equivalents would have been antidilutive for the period. Therefore, separate computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share is not presented for the periods presented.

 

The Company had the following anti-dilutive common stock equivalents at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

 

   March 31, 2022   December 31, 2021 
Stock Warrants   1,079,895    2,127,895 
Stock Options   32,711,682    13,852,182 
Convertible Notes   86,668    86,668 
Preferred stock   3,280,400    13,456,936 
Total   37,158,645    29,523,681 

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

CARES Act Loans

 

In March 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted. Among other things, the CARES Act established the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), which funded eligible businesses through federally guaranteed loans. Under the PPP, companies are eligible for forgiveness of principal and accrued interest if the proceeds are used for eligible costs, which include, but are not limited to, payroll, benefits, mortgage, lease, and utility expenses.

 

a) Paycheck Protection Program Loan - On April 13, 2020, the Company was granted a loan (the “PPP1 Loan”) under the Paycheck Protection Program in the aggregate amount of $269,500.

 

The PPP1 Loan matures on April 13, 2025 and bears interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum, which is payable monthly. The note may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties.

 

The loan obligation was $10,338 and $11,193 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Monthly principal and interest payments of $289 started in October 2021 with a maturity of April 13, 2025.

 

b) Second Paycheck Protection Program Loan - On February 3, 2021, the Company was granted a loan (the “PPP2 Loan”) under the Paycheck Protection Program Second Draw program in the aggregate amount of $178,235, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the CARES Act. The Company recognized the forgiveness as Other Income during the three months ended March 31, 2022, the period during which it was forgiven in full. As of December 31, 2021, the loan balance was $178,235.

 

c) EIDL Loan - On June 24, 2020, the Company received a loan (the “EIDL Loan”) from the SBA under its Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) assistance program. The principal amount of the EIDL Loan is $150,000. The EIDL Loan bears interest at the annual rate of 3.75% and matures in 2050. Additionally, the EIDL Loan is collateralized by certain of the Company’s property as specified within the security agreement.

 

d) Note payable (“NBG”)

 

On December 14, 2021, the Company entered into a new secured promissory note with Nielsen & Bainbridge, LLC (“NBG”), in the amount of approximately $5.9 million, which amended and replaced the April 2016 promissory note. The unpaid principal bears annual interest at the Wall Street Journal prime rate plus 1.75% per year (as compared to an interest rate of 9% per annum prior to the amendment and restatement of the April 2016 note). The amended note matures in December 2026. The note is secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets.

NOTE 6 GE ROYALTY OBLIGATIONS

 

On June 15, 2011, we entered into a license agreement with GE, pursuant to which we have the right to market certain ceiling light and fan fixtures displaying the GE brand. The license agreement, as amended, imposes certain manufacturing and quality control conditions that we must maintain in order to continue to use the GE brand. The License agreement is nontransferable and cannot be sublicensed.

 

On August 13, 2014, we entered into a second amendment to the license agreement pertaining to our royalty obligations. Under the initial terms of the amendment, we agreed to pay to GE a minimum trademark license fee of $12.0 million by November 30, 2018 (the “Initial Royalty Obligation”) for the rights assigned in the original contract. The amendment provided that, if we did not pay to GE royalties equal to the Initial Royalty Obligation over the term of the license agreement, we would owe the difference to GE in December 2018.

 

We are expanding our relationship with GE to collaborate on mutual capabilities, and in December 2020, we entered into the current amendment to the license agreement. The amendments following the second amendment expanded our product range, including smart, and added additional global territory rights. The license agreement has been extended for an additional five years and expires on November 30, 2023. Pursuant to the third amendment, entered into September 2018, the approximate remaining $10.0 million Initial Royalty Obligation that was due on November 30, 2018 was waived, and we agreed to pay GE an aggregate amount of $6.0 million, consisting of three annual installments of $2.0 million to be paid to GE in each of December 2018, 2019 and 2020. In December 2020, we entered into the current amendment, which restructured the royalty payment obligations due of approximately $4.4 million, plus $0.7 million in interest. We agreed to pay a total of $5.1 million to GE in quarterly installments through December 2023, including $100,000 due December 2020, an aggregate of $500,000 due in four equal installments in 2021, an aggregate of $1.2 million due in four equal installments in 2022 and an aggregate of $3.3 million due in four equal installments in 2023 (the “Minimum Payments”). In the event the Company receives significant funding rounds of at least $50.0 million in funding, it is required to use a portion of such funding to pay certain amounts to GE. The Minimum Payments will be in addition to the royalty payments made to GE during the respective year, as set forth below.

 

Royalty payments are due quarterly, using a December 1 – November 30 contract year and based upon the prior quarter’s sales. Royalty payments will be paid from sales of GE branded product subject to the following repayment schedule:

 

Net Sales in Contract Year  Percentage of Contract Year Net Sales owed to GE 
$0 to $50,000,000   7%
$50,000,001 to $100,000,000   6%
$100,000,000+   5%

The Company made principal payments of $300,000 plus royalty payments of $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company made principal payments of $125,000 plus royalty payments of $51 for the same period ended March 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the outstanding balance of the aggregate Minimum Payment was $3,538,000 and $3,838,000, respectively.

Subject to certain exceptions, if the offering is being underwritten, the Company and the underwriters may limit the number of shares included in the underwritten offering if the underwriters believe that including such shares would adversely affect the offering.

 

The Bridge Line SPAs also contain a standstill provision pursuant to which Bridge Line Ventures agreed to certain restrictions related to the Company for three years following the effective date of each of the Bridge Line SPAs, including, among other things, prohibitions on, either alone or together with any other person, acquiring additional shares of the Company’s common stock or any of its assets, soliciting proxies or seeking representation on our board of directors, unless the Company agrees to such actions in writing.

(B) Preferred Stock

 

The following is a summary of the Company’s Preferred Stock activity during the three months ended March 31, 2022:

The fair value of share options and similar instruments is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes. The range of inputs used by the Company are as follows:

 

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, the Black-Scholes model calculations included stock price on the date of measurement ranging from $12.00 - $14.00, exercise price with a range of $12.00 - $14.00, a term of 5 years, expected volatility of 54%, and a discount rate ranging from 1.82 % to 1.96%.

 

16
 

 

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, the Black-Scholes model calculations included stock price on the date of measurement ranging from $3.00 - $3.00, exercise price with a range of $3.00 - $12.00, a term ranging from 1.3 years to 1.3 years, expected volatility of 34% , and a discount rate ranging from .09% to 2.49%.

 

The Company cannot use its historical volatility as expected volatility because there is not enough liquidity in trades of common stock during a term comparable to the expected term of stock option issued. The Company relies on the expected volatility of comparable publicly-traded companies within its industry sector, which is deemed more relevant, to compute its expected volatility.

 

Unamortized future option expense was $4,196,100 (excluding certain market-based options which management cannot ascertain to have a probable outcome) at March 31, 2022 and it is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years.

NOTE 10 CONCENTRATIONS OF RISKS

 

Major Customers and Accounts Receivable

 

The Company had certain customers whose revenue individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue, or whose accounts receivable balances individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total accounts receivable, as follows:

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, one customer accounted for 100% of revenue, respectively.

 

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, one customer accounted for 100% of the Company’s accounts receivable. Although the Company is directly affected by the financial condition of its customers, management does not believe significant credit risks existed at March 31, 2022. Generally, the Company does not require collateral or other securities to support its accounts receivable.

 

17
 

 

Major Vendors

 

The Company had two major vendors that accounted for 100% of cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company expects to maintain its relationship with the vendors.

 

Liquidity

 

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held primarily with two financial institutions. The Company has deposits which exceed the amount insured by the FDIC. The amount of uninsured deposits was $27,152,133 at March 31, 2022. To reduce the risk associated with the failure of such counterparties, the Company periodically evaluates the credit quality of the financial institutions in which it holds deposits.

 

Product Risks

 

The Company generates its income primarily from its proprietary-based technology and related products.

 

NOTE 11 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Management has evaluated subsequent events through May 9, 2022, which is the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. There were no subsequent events that required adjustment to or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

Revenue

 

The decrease in revenues was directly related to the planned reduction of discontinued inventory as we continued to shift our focus to the development of our new patented “Smart” platforms and technologies. During 2022 and 2021, we opted to sell through our existing inventory of discontinued products to facilitate our planned transition into our new patented product lines.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

The cost of revenues consists primarily of inspection fees related to certain certifications. Revenues are mostly derived from the sale of a small number of replacement parts and standard canopy kits. The inventory and related costs of such products are not significant and are not reflected on our balance sheet nor in the cost of revenues. The reduction in cost of revenues was related to the decrease in sales, which resulted from our decision to discontinue our old products and transition to our patented “Smart” platforms and technologies.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of an allocation of product development, sales, finance, legal, human resources, including salaries, wages, and benefits, and depreciation and amortization, including non-cash equity-based compensation

 

The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses during the three months ended 2022 when compared to the prior year period was primarily due to the following:

 

  Increase of $8.6 million related to stock-based compensation which is primarily due to a greater number of shares of common stock issued and options granted for services during the three-month ended March 31, 2022 when compared to the prior year period;
  Increase of $1.5 million related to marketing programs and product development in anticipation of the launch of our product offerings;
  Increase in other spending related to support of planned scope of operations.

  

Other Income (Expense)

 

The decrease in interest expense in the three months ended March 31, 2022 when compared to the prior year period resulted from the lower interest bearing rate associated from the conversion of the Company’s line of credit to secured notes payable at the end of fiscal 2021.

 

The increase in other income loan forgiveness during the three months ended March 31, 2022 when compared to the prior year period was the forgiveness of a PPP loan during the three months ended March 31, 2022, which did not occur during the same period in 2021.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As we develop our revenue base, we have raised additional funds through the sale of our common stock and issuance of debt, including completing our initial public offering in February 2022 for gross proceeds of $23.1 million. We believe that our existing cash will be sufficient to support our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our revenue growth rate, expenditures related to our headcount growth, the timing and the amount of cash received from customers, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the price at which we are able to purchase parts to incorporate in our product offerings, the introduction of platform enhancements, and the continuing market adoption of our platforms. We may continue to enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, products, and technologies. We may, as a result of those arrangements or the general expansion of our business, be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event that we require additional financing, we may not be able to raise such financing on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital or generate cash flows necessary to expand our operations and invest in continued innovation, we may not be able to compete successfully, which would harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Three-months period ended March 31, 2022:

 

We had $28 million in cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2022.

 

We used $3.4 million in our operating activities which consists of a net loss of $12 million adjusted for the following:

 

Stock-based compensation of $8.8 million.
Increase in prepaid assets of $1.4 million and a commensurate increase of accounts payable which will be substantially recognized and paid during fiscal 2022.

 

We used $240,000 in investing activities which were primarily capital expenditures.

 

We generated $21 million in financing activities which were primarily related to proceeds we generated from the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to our initial public offering.

 

Three-months period ended March 31, 2021:

 

We had $2.4 million in cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2021.

 

We used $800,000 in our operating activities which consists of a net loss of $1.0 million adjusted for the following:

We generated $1.0 million in financing activities which were primarily related to proceeds we generated from the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to a private placement of $800,000.

 

A majority of our sales do not require us to take delivery of inventory. Production of the Sky technology and products will commence upon receipt of FOB (free on board) purchase contracts from customers. Upon the completion of each purchase contract, the finished products will be transported from the manufacturer directly to the designated destination, upon which the products become the property of the customer.

 

Future Impact of COVID-19

 

The negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on companies continues and we are currently unable to assess with certainty the broad effects of COVID-19 on our future business. As of March 31, 2022, we had no material assets that would be subject to impairment or change in valuation due to COVID-19.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The following is a summary of those accounting policies that involve significant estimates and judgment of management.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying notes.

 

Such estimates and assumptions impact both assets and liabilities, including but not limited to: net realizable value of accounts receivable and inventory, estimated useful lives and potential impairment of property and equipment, the valuation of intangible assets, estimate of fair value of share based payments and derivative liabilities, estimates of fair value of warrants issued and recorded as debt discount, estimates of tax liabilities and estimates of the probability and potential magnitude of contingent liabilities.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future non-conforming events. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments require disclosure of the fair value information, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, where it is practicable to estimate that value. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we believe the amounts reported for cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accounts payable – related party, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, accrued interest, notes payable and convertible note payable approximate fair value because of their short maturities.

 

22
 

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

 

  Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
     
  Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
     
  Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of ASC 718 – “Compensation–Stock Compensation”, which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee, non-employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.

 

Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award granted using the Black- Scholes option pricing model based on projections of various potential future outcomes and recognized over the period in which the award vests. For stock awards no longer expected to vest, any previously recognized stock compensation expense is reversed in the period of termination. The stock-based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expenses.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We account for revenues in accordance with Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606).

 

Under Topic 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

 

We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:

 

  identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;
     
  identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
     
  determination of the transaction price;
     
  allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
     
  recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Although there are several new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, which we have adopted or will adopt, as applicable, we do not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

  

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that is designed to ensure 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. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures and any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon the evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2022.

 

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting:

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

There are no legal proceedings or arbitration proceedings currently pending against our Company. From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. As of the date of this Form 10-Q, we were not a party to any material legal matters or claims. In the future, we may become party to legal matters and claims in the ordinary course of business, the resolution of which we do not anticipate would have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

There have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. Our business, operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and the trading price of our common stock. You should carefully read and consider the risks and uncertainties included in the report referenced above, together with all of the other information in such report and this Form 10-Q, including the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our consolidated financial statements and related notes, and other documents that we file with the SEC. The risks and uncertainties described in these reports may not be the only ones we face, and the disclosure of any risk factor should not be interpreted to imply that the risk has not already materialized. The factors discussed in these reports, among others, could cause our actual results to differ materially from historical results and those expressed in forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf in filings with the SEC, press releases, communications with investors, and oral statements.
