NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

1. Company Overview and Basis of Presentation

 

Nature and History of Operations

 

Notox Technologies Corp. (formerly Tropic International Inc.) (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on October 29, 2007 under the name Rockford Minerals Inc. On June 28, 2013, the Company completed a reverse takeover transaction with Tropic Spa Inc. (“TSI”), a private Ontario corporation that manufactured and sold Home Mist Tanning units that deliver a full-body application. As a result of this transaction, the Company became a holding company operating through TSI.

 

On December 6, 2013, the Company changed its name to Tropic International Inc. as a result of a merger with a wholly-owned subsidiary incorporated solely to effect the name change. On November 19, 2018, the Company again changed its name to Notox Technologies Corp.

 

On June 13, 2016, the Company completed an asset acquisition transaction with Notox Bioscience Inc. (“Notox”), a private Nevada corporation incorporated on May 31, 2016 for the purpose of acquiring 100% of the right, title and interest in and to an exclusive license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with The Cleveland Clinic Foundation (the “Clinic”), an Ohio not-for-profit corporation. As a result of this transaction, the Company is a holding company operating through both TSI and Notox.

 

As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has a deficit of $12,249,108 (August 31, 2018 - $11,783,486) since inception, a working capital deficiency of $3,446,326 (August 31, 2018 - $3,203,961) and a stockholders’ deficiency of $2,652,597 (August 31, 2018 - $2,306,865). This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital and to implement its business plan. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Management has evaluated the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern by assessing its ability to meet its obligations as they become due within one year from the date of issue of the financial statements. Management’s assessment included the following factors:

 

The Company’s financial condition as at the date of issue of the financial statements;
The Company’s actual or anticipated conditional and unconditional obligations due within one year from the date of issue of the financial statements;
The funds necessary to maintain the Company’s operations considering its current financial condition, obligations and other expected cash flows; and
Other conditions and events that may affect the Company’s ability to meet its obligations within one year from the date of issue of the financial statements.

 

The Company’s operating expenses are estimated to be approximately $100,000 per year. As at February 28, 2019, the Company’s current cash liabilities total $3,443,360 (August 31, 2018 - $2,942,000). Of this amount, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are $1,876,870, advances from related parties/shareholders are $565,732 and license assignment fee and accrued interest payable $1,000,758 – is payable to related parties and/or major shareholders who have not and will not require payment until such time as sufficient cash flow is available.

 

The Company’s CEO and President have committed to providing financing if and when necessary to fund the Company’s estimated $100,000 cash operating expenses for the year ended August 31, 2019.

(UNAUDITED)

 

1. Company Overview and Basis of Presentation (continued)

 

Basis of Presentation, Measurement and Consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of SEC Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the years ended August 31, 2018 and 2017 and their accompanying notes.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are expressed in Canadian Dollars (“CAD”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. Operating results for the six months ended February 28, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending August 31, 2019.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, TSI, Notox, 1894632 Ontario Inc. (“Subco”), and 1894631 Ontario Inc., the Company’s subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to equipment, fair values of intangible assets, useful lives of intangible assets and the likelihood of realization of its deferred tax assets. The Company bases its estimates on assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Carrying values of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, advances from related parties/shareholders, license assignment fee and accrued interest payable and stock subscribed approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. Amounts receivable consists primarily of Harmonized Sales Tax (“HST”) receivable from the Government of Canada. HST is not a financial instrument.

3. Reverse Takeover

 

On June 28, 2013 (the “Closing Date”), the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary Subco and TSI entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with certain of the shareholders of TSI (the “Selling Shareholders”) pursuant to which the Company acquired 39,015,439 common shares, or approximately 78% of the issued and outstanding shares, of TSI in exchange for the issuance of 39,015,439 preferred shares of Subco to the Selling Shareholders on a one-for-one basis. Each one preferred share of Subco is exchangeable into one share of the Company’s common stock at the option of the holder subject to certain restrictions.

 

On February 17, 2015, the Company, Subco, TSI and the Selling Shareholders entered into an amendment to the Exchange Agreement in order to correct certain administrative errors in the Exchange Agreement and provide for the post-closing execution of the Exchange Agreement by those shareholders of TSI who were not original signatories thereto. In addition, the Selling Shareholders approved certain changes to the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached to the preferred shares of Subco by consent in writing. This included extending the automatic expiration date in respect of the preferred shares of Subco from June 30, 2015 to June 30, 2017. On February 22, 2017, this automatic expiration date was further extended to December 31, 2018, and on December 27, 2018, this date was further extended to December 31, 2020.

 

4. Fair Value Measurements

 

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. There is a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, which require management judgment or estimation.

 

The Company measures its financial instruments at fair value.

 

The carrying value of cash deposits is a reasonable estimate of its fair value due to the short maturity of the financial instrument.

 

The Company’s stock purchase warrants are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

 

5. License Agreement, Net

 

On December 1, 2012, Zoran Holding Corporation (“ZHC”) and the Clinic entered into the License Agreement whereby the Clinic granted ZHC an exclusive worldwide license and a non-exclusive worldwide license in the field of aesthetics and pain to make, use, offer to sell, sell and import certain products throughout the term of the License Agreement. Royalties and other payments are payable quarterly. Notox is required to achieve two commercial milestones: regulatory filings submitted to regulatory authorities by November 30, 2019 and first commercial sale within nine months following regulatory approval. Failure to achieve these milestones, without satisfactory justification, constitutes a material breach of the License Agreement giving the Clinic the right, but not the obligation, to convert the License Agreement to a non-exclusive license or terminate the License Agreement. The Clinic has the right to verify Notox’s compliance with the License Agreement.

 

Within 30 days following Notox’s receipt of the first regulatory approval, Notox is required to reimburse the Clinic for current patenting costs. All patenting costs, patent office fees and outside patent counsel costs will, at the Clinic’s option, either be paid directly by Notox or by the Clinic with the Clinic invoicing Notox, provided that Notox has no obligation to pay or reimburse the Clinic until after first regulatory approval has been obtained. Upon termination or expiration of the License Agreement, all accrued and unreimbursed patenting costs become immediately due and payable to the Clinic. As of February 28, 2019, all accrued and unreimbursed patenting costs totaled $237,341 (August 31, 2018 - $227,707).

License Agreement  $133,212

13. Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-13, “Changes to Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements”, which will improve the effectiveness of disclosure requirements for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The standard removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements, and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company will be evaluating the impact this standard will have on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07 to expand the scope of ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effects of this pronouncement on the consolidated financial statements, including potential early adoption.

 

In November 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-14 amending ASC Topic 605, which states the required steps to achieve the core principle that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted this pronouncement on a modified retrospective basis. On April 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2017-14 to clarify existing guidance on revenue recognition.

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18 addressing the treatment of restricted cash equivalents in ASC Topic 230. This guidance requires entities to show changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the combined statement of cash flows. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-18 to clarify how entities should present restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. This guidance was adopted on a retrospective basis, and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s combined financial position and/or results of operations.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This guidance revises the accounting related to leases by requiring lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases. The new lease guidance also simplifies the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe the guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

14. Subsequent Events

 

The Company’s management has evaluated subsequent events up to April 19, 2019, the date the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were issued, pursuant to the requirements of ASC 855 and has determined that there have been no events that have occurred that would require adjustments to the disclosures in the financial statements.

PRESENTATION OF INFORMATION

 

Except as otherwise indicated by the context, references in this Report to “we”, “us” and “our” are to the combined business of Notox Technologies Corp. (formerly, Tropic International Inc.) and its consolidated subsidiaries.

 

This Report includes our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended February 28, 2019. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”). All financial information in this Report is presented in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated, and should be read in conjunction with our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Report.

 

As disclosed in our current report on Form 8-K dated July 3, 2013, on June 28, 2013 we completed a share exchange with Tropic Spa Inc., an Ontario corporation (“Tropic Spa”), 1894632 Ontario Inc., an Ontario corporation (“Subco”), and certain of the shareholders of Tropic Spa (collectively, the “Tropic Spa Shareholders”), pursuant to which we acquired 78,030,877 common shares, or approximately 78% of the issued and outstanding shares, of Tropic Spa in exchange for the issuance of 78,030,877 preferred shares of Subco, our wholly owned subsidiary, to the Tropic Spa Shareholders on a one-for-one basis (the “Share Exchange”). Each preferred share of Subco is exchangeable into one share of our common stock at the option of the holder thereof, subject to certain restrictions. As a result of the Share Exchange, Tropic Spa became our majority-owned subsidiary and the former shareholders of Tropic Spa became holders of the preferred shares of Subco, a company that has only one issued and outstanding common share which is held by us. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse takeover/recapitalization effected by a share exchange, wherein Tropic Spa is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes. Our condensed consolidated financial statements are therefore, in substance, those of Tropic Spa.

 

Also, as disclosed in our current report on Form 8-K dated July 14, 2016, on June 13, 2016 we completed a share exchange with Notox Bioscience Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Notox”), and all the shareholders of Notox (collectively, the “Notox Shareholders”) pursuant to which we acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of Notox from the Notox Shareholders in exchange for the issuance of 100,000,000 restricted shares of our common stock to the Notox Shareholders on a 1,000-for-one basis (the “Notox Share Exchange”). In connection with the Notox Share Exchange, Notox acquired 100% of the right, title and interest in and to an exclusive license agreement dated December 1, 2012, as amended on July 30, 2013 (together, the “License Agreement”) with the Cleveland Clinic Foundation (the “Clinic”) formerly held by Zoran Holding Corporation, a private Ontario corporation (“ZHC”), Notox became our wholly-owned subsidiary, and the Notox Shareholders acquired approximately 89% of our issued and outstanding common stock (52.5% on a fully-exchanged basis). The transaction represented an asset acquisition and was therefore accounted for under the asset acquisition method.

 

Finally, on August 25, 2016, we completed a reverse split of our issued and outstanding common stock at the ratio of one (1) new share for every two (2) existing shares and caused Subco to do the same. All share and per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the reverse split except as otherwise indicated.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition has been derived from and should be read in conjunction with our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto that appear elsewhere in this Report, as well as the “Presentation of Information” section that appears at the beginning of this Report.

 

Overview

 

We are a company in the business of developing and commercializing innovative technologies. Through Notox, we own 100% of the right, title and interest in and to the License Agreement with the Clinic formerly held by ZHC. The License Agreement grants us the exclusive license to certain patented intellectual property of the Clinic relating to the treatment of a neuromuscular defect developed by Dr. Frank Papay, MD, FACS Chairman Dermatology and Plastic Surgery Institute, Cleveland Clinic, and in particular, the ability to produce sell, improve and modernize products that incorporate such intellectual property in the fields of aesthetics, drug free pain management, body contouring and perspiration control. We plan to develop this intellectual property into the world’s first credible and healthier non-toxic alternative to Botox, which is a commercial form of the botulinum toxin protein used primarily for medical and cosmetic purposes.

 

On September 26, 2017, we entered into a second amendment to the License Agreement with Notox and the Clinic, effective July 1, 2016. The purpose of this amendment was to, among other things: (i) clarify certain vague terms of the License Agreement; (ii) include us as a party for the purpose of guaranteeing the due and prompt payment and performance of all covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities of Notox; (iii) record the Clinic’s explicit consent to the assignment from ZHC to Notox; (iv) extend the deadline for achieving the first commercial milestone (the submission of regulatory filings to applicable authorities) from November 30, 2017 to November 30, 2019; and (v) establish a second commercial milestone (the completion of at least one commercial sale within nine months of receiving regulatory approval).

 

Through Tropic Spa, we have finalized the design of a personal tanning product and applied for and acquired patents for it in the United States (the “US Patent”), Canada, Australia and China. The product consists of a unique tanning system designed for spas, gyms, clinics and convenient home use that delivers a full-body application and eliminates the harmful health effects associated with traditional tanning beds, and in particular, exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. We are currently seeking to establish licensing opportunities for Tropic Spa’s intellectual property, but have not entered into any formal arrangements as of the date of this Report.

Plan of Operations

 

Our plan of operations over the next 12 months is to continue the process initiated by ZHC to design, manufacture and commercialize the Notox system and its features. We expect to work closely with the Clinic in this regard, and anticipate that we will require at least US$4,675,000 to carry out our plan, as follows:

 

Description  Amount
(US$)
 
Design, testing and prototyping the Notox unit (including $111,200 in milestone payments to RBC)   600,000 
Design, testing and prototyping the Notox treatment probe   1,400,000 
Acquisition costs payable to ZHC   450,000 
Human trial expenses   950,000 
FDA Section 510(k) notification costs and CE marking expenses   750,000 
Marketing and inventory expenses   525,000 
Total   4,675,000 

 

In addition, over the next 12 months our plan of operations through Tropic Spa is to create licensing opportunities for Tropic Spa’s intellectual property, and in particular, its U.S., Canadian, Australian and Chinese patents. We plan to target existing and highly-recognized brands in the tanning industry, both locally and internationally, that may be drawn to Tropic Spa’s technology in order to better serve their existing customers and enhance their competitive advantage. We do not anticipate spending any specific amounts for this purpose, as the creation of such opportunities will be covered by our general and administrative expenses described below.

 

We expect to incur the following general and administrative expenses over the next 12 months. These expenses are reasonably consistent with those from prior periods, as adjusted to reflect the expected increase in our operations and the costs of maintaining our status as a public company.

 

Description  Amount
($)
 
Professional fees and filing fees   120,000 
Management-related consulting fees   333,000 
Rent (including utilities)   30,000 
Travel and entertainment expenses   25,000 
Office and miscellaneous expenses   25,000 
Total   533,000

We do not currently have sufficient funds to carry out our entire plan of operations, so we intend to meet the balance of our cash requirements for the next 12 months through a combination of debt financing and equity financing through private placements. Currently we are active in contacting broker/dealers in Canada and elsewhere regarding possible financing arrangements; however, we do not currently have any agreements in place to complete any private placement financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any such financings. If we are unsuccessful in obtaining sufficient funds through our capital raising efforts, we may review other financing options, although we cannot provide any assurance that any such options will be available to us or on terms reasonably acceptable to us. Further, if we are unable to secure any additional financing then we plan to reduce the amount that we spend on our operations, including management-related consulting fees and other general and administrative expenses, so as not to exceed the capital resources available to us.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Intangible Assets

 

Patents

 

The US Patent is recorded at the value attributed to the shares issued by Tropic Spa in connection with its acquisition less accumulated amortization and impairment writedowns. The US Patent was issued on September 29, 2009 and is effective until September 29, 2026. The Australian, Canadian and Chinese Patents are recorded at the application costs incurred less accumulated amortization and impairment writedowns. The Australian Patent was issued on October 16, 2014 and is effective until April 5, 2027. The Canadian Patent was issued on June 21, 2016 and is effective until April 5, 2027. The Chinese Patent was issued on December 28, 2016 and is effective until February 1, 2033. Upon expiration, the patents can be extended subject to certain changes required to secure the extension. Although the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors (such as stability of the industry, technological advances and legislative action that results in an uncertain or changing regulatory environment) can have an adverse effect on the industry and saleability of patented products, management is not currently aware of any known adverse factors that will affect the patents in the future.

 

Costs incurred for patents which are in the process of being completed will be amortized over the life of the patent when the patent is issued.

 

At the time that the patents were issued, we did not believe that there were any limits to how long the Home Mist Tanning units could sell in the market place. Accordingly, management had determined that the best estimate of the useful lives of the US, Australian, Canadian and Chinese Patents were 17, 13, 11 and 16 years, respectively. At this time, we do not believe that the patents will have a residual value at the end of their useful lives.

 

License Agreement

 

The License Agreement is recorded at estimated fair value plus acquisition costs less accumulated amortization and impairment writedowns. The term of the License Agreement continues until the expiration of the last to expire of the Licensed Patents (as defined in the License Agreement). All costs related to the development of the licensed technology are expensed as incurred.

 

The technology licensed by Notox is a platform that provides us access to four large market segments or verticals (derma, pain, body and headache) that include the fields of aesthetics, drug-free pain management, body contouring and perspiration control. Based on management’s experience, it takes approximately two years to fully develop each vertical, with each vertical being developed in sequence. Accordingly, management’s best estimate of the amortization period for the License Agreement is eight years.

 

9
 

 

Amortization and Impairment

 

Definite-lived intangible assets are required to be amortized using a method that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed or utilized. Management was not able to determine with any amount of certainty the number of Home Mist Tanning units that would be sold over the useful lives of the patents. Accordingly, the patents were being amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of their useful lives. The License Agreement is being amortized over eight years based on management’s best estimate of the time required to develop the four verticals as explained above.

 

Intangible assets subject to amortization are required to be reviewed for impairment. An impairment loss must be recognized if the intangible asset’s carrying amount is not recoverable and the carrying amount exceeds fair value. We apply the following three-step process to identify, recognize and measure impairment of intangible assets:

 

  Consider whether indicators of impairment are present indicating that the intangible assets’ carrying amount might not be recoverable;
  If indicators are present, perform a recoverability test by comparing the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the intangible assets to their carrying amounts; and
  If the undiscounted cash flows used in the recoverability test are less than the intangible assets’ carrying amount, determine the intangible assets’ fair value and recognize an impairment loss if the carrying amount exceeds fair value.

 

Because of the unique nature of a patent and a license agreement, income-producing definite-lived intangible assets, the calculation of cash flows can be very difficult to estimate. In this case, the estimated cash flows reflect the direct revenue expected to be generated by the License Agreement as well as an allocation of expenses.

 

Foreign Currency

 

Our functional currency and the functional currency of our subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar. Our consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars.

 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the period-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items or on settlement of monetary items are recognized in the loss in the period in which they arise.

 

Stock Purchase Warrants

 

When we undertake a private placement, we may issue units comprised of our common stock and warrants to acquire our common stock. Warrants with a strike price denominated in our functional currency (the Canadian dollar) are considered to be indexed to our stock and are classified as equity. Warrants with a strike price denominated in a currency other than our functional currency are considered not to be indexed to our stock and are classified as a liability. Warrants classified as equity are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value are not recognized as long as the warrants continue to be classified as equity. Warrants classified as a liability are initially measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in profit or loss in each reporting period.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Going Concern

 

Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies we will continue to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business. As at February 28, 2019, we had a working capital deficiency of $3,446,326 and an accumulated deficit of $12,249,108. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from our stockholders, our ability to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset 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

 

Not required.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are 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 rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As of the end of the period covered by this Report, management, with the participation of our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon this evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to certain deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. These deficiencies include the fact that we have no audit committee, traditionally have had no independent directors, and do not have a system in place to review and monitor internal control over financial reporting.

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that a reasonable possibility exists that a material misstatement of our financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The deficiencies described above constitute, both individually and in the aggregate, a material weakness given their potential impact on our financial reporting and internal control over financial reporting.

 

Management is currently evaluating remediation plans for the deficiencies and will implement changes as time and financial resources allow.

 

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) during the period ended February 28, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

We are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of our executive officers or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting us, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or our officers or directors of those of our subsidiaries’ in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.
