NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited financial statements of Artec Global Media, Inc. as of July 31, 2015, and for the three and six months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended January 31, 2015, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as part of the Company's Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information have been included. The Company did not record an income tax provision during the periods presented due to net taxable losses. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year.

 

NOTE 1 – Organization, Recent Accounting Pronouncements, Going Concern and Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Organization

 

Artec Global Media, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on August 6, 2012 (“Inception”) originally intending to commence operations in the business of distributing crystal white glass floor tile. The Company was in the development stage until January 2013 when the Company changed its focus to providing online marketing and reporting solutions to companies and began generating revenue. Thus, beginning in the quarter ending April 30, 2014, the Company left the development stage. On June 30, 2014 the Company changed its name from Artec Consulting Corp. to Artec Global Media, Inc. to more accurately align our corporate name with our current business activities.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, “Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis”, which amends the consolidation requirements in ASC 810 and significantly changes the consolidation analysis required under U.S. GAAP relating to whether or not to consolidate certain legal entities. Early adoption is permitted. The Company’s effective date for adoption is January 1, 2016. The Company does not expect this accounting update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements in future periods, although that could change.

 

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, “Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items”, which eliminates the concept the concept of an extraordinary item from U.S. GAAP. Under the ASU, an entity will no longer (1) segregate an extraordinary item from the results of ordinary operations; (2) separately present an extraordinary item on its income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations; or (3) disclose income taxes and earnings-per-share data applicable to an extraordinary item. Early adoption is permitted. The Company’s effective date for adoption is January 1, 2016. The Company does not expect this accounting update to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements in future periods, although that could change.

 

We review new accounting standards as issued. Although some of these accounting standards issued or effective after the end of our previous fiscal year may be applicable to us, we have not identified any standards that we believe merit further discussion. We believe that none of the new standards will have a significant impact on our financial statements.

Going Concern

 

The Company has not generated net income since inception. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $1,717,185 as of July 31, 2015, and does not have positive cash flows from operating activities. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern, which is dependent upon the Company’s ability to establish itself as a profitable business.

 

In its report with respect to the Company’s financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2015, the Company’s independent auditors expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Because the Company has not yet generated net income from its operations, its ability to continue as a going concern is wholly dependent upon its ability to obtain additional financing and increase revenue.

 

As of July 31, 2015, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $7,193 and accounts receivable of $2,774. Based upon its current and near term anticipated level of operations and expenditures, the Company's cash on hand is insufficient to enable it to continue operations for the next twelve months. As a result, the Company is seeking additional financing but has no commitments to obtain any such financing, and there can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. If adequate funds are not available on reasonable terms, or at all, it would result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, financial condition and prospects.

 

Concentrations of credit risk

 

At July 31, 2015, two customers accounted for 82% (44% and 38%) of accounts receivable.

 

During the three months ended July 31, 2015, three customers accounted for 87% (43%, 31% and 13%) of sales. During the six months ended July 31, 2015, three customers accounted for 91% (48%, 32% and 11%) of sales.

 

NOTE 2 – Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are reported at the customers' outstanding balances. The Company does not have a history of significant bad debt and has not recorded any allowance for doubtful accounts. Interest is not accrued on overdue accounts receivable. The Company evaluates receivables on a regular basis for potential reserve.

 

Revenue is generated from advertising and marketing services, the sale of marketing data and from student loan borrower services. Firms engage our advertising solutions whereby the Company markets products through our online portal http://artecmedia.com and other 3rd party portals. Clients pay us for leads that they can convert into customers. Typically, leads are routed through a call center or other offline customer acquisition process. Online leads are usually generated as clicks from websites or email. The two revenue options the Company has promoted are pay-per-lead and pay-per-sale. Revenue from the pay-per-lead option ranges from $4 to $6 per verified lead and the pay-per-sale option revenue range is from $80-$120. Customer payment terms range from net 7 to net 30 days.

 

The Company generates revenue through the sale of data used by companies in the targeted marketing of their products and services via direct mail. Payment for our data is either upfront or via a revenue sharing arrangement whereby the Company is paid monthly based on the customers acquired through the direct mail process.

 

The Company also earns contracted fees from student loan borrowers in exchange for providing services designed to assist the borrower in managing their student loans and enroll in qualifying programs that ease their financial burden. The borrower and the Company enter into a contract under which the Company is required to fulfill a specific goal only after which the Company is able to collect its fee. Collection is typically within a few days or up to three months depending on arrangements made with the client.

 

Revenue is recognized only when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed or determinable, the product or service has been delivered, and collectability of the resulting receivable is probable.

NOTE 3 – Convertible Promissory Notes

 

LG Capital Funding Convertible Notes

Typenex Financing

 

On January 7, 2015 (the “Effective Date”) Artec entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Typenex Co-Investment, LLC ("Typenex"), for the sale of a 10% convertible note in the principal amount of $225,000 (which includes Typenex legal expenses in the amount of $5,000 and a $20,000 original issue discount) (the “Typenex Note”) of which Typenex funded $75,000 upon closing.

The Typenex Investor Notes may be prepaid, without penalty, all or portion of the outstanding balance along with accrued but unpaid interest at any time prior to maturity.

The Typenex Note bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum. All interest and principal must be repaid on June 7, 2016. The Typenex Note is convertible into common stock, at Typenex’s option, at the lesser of (i) $5.00, and (ii) 70% (the “Conversion Factor”) of the average of the three (3) lowest Closing Bid Prices in the twenty (20) Trading Days immediately preceding the applicable Conversion, provided that if at any time the average of the three (3) lowest Closing Bid Prices in the twenty (20) Trading Days immediately preceding any date of measurement is below $2.50, then in such event the then-current Conversion Factor shall be reduced to 65% for all future Conversions, subject to other reductions set forth in the Typenex Note. In the event the Company elects to prepay all or any portion of the Typenex Note, the Company is required to pay to Typenex an amount in cash equal to 125% multiplied by the sum of all principal, interest and any other amounts owing. The Typenex Note is secured by all of the assets of the Company and includes customary event of default provisions.

 

Typenex has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the Typenex Note and receive shares of common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The Typenex Note is a debt obligation arising other than in the ordinary course of business, which constitutes a direct financial obligation of the Company. The Typenex Note also provides for penalties and rescission rights if we do not deliver shares of our common stock upon conversion within the required timeframes.

 

Additionally, the Company granted Typenex six warrants, corresponding to the delivery of six tranches of cash funds, to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”). The first warrant will entitle the holder to purchase a number of shares equal to $43,750 divided by the Market Price, as such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms of the Typenex Note, and the remaining warrants will entitle the holder to purchase a number of shares equal to $13,750 divided by the Market Price, as such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms of the Typenex Note. Each warrant is not exercisable until each corresponding tranche is funded.

 

The Company first allocated between the Typenex Note and the warrants based upon their relative fair values. The estimated fair value of the warrants issued with the Typenex Note was $43,750. Next, the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature was computed as the difference between the fair value of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Typenex Note and the total price to convert based on the effective conversion price. The calculated intrinsic value was $66,667. As this amount resulted in a total debt discount that exceeds the loan proceeds, the amount recorded for the beneficial conversion feature was limited to $43,750. The resulting $87,500 discount to the Typenex Note is being accreted over the seventeen month term of the Typenex Note.

 

During the three and six months ended July 31, 2015, the Company recognized $15,571 and $30,634 of accretion related to the debt discount. No interest expense was recognized as the interest income from the Typenex Investor Notes offset the interest expense from the Typenex Note.

 

During the three months ended July 31, 2015, Typenex converted $23,261 into 143,145 shares of common stock.

The Vis Vires Note matures in nine (9) months on March 10, 2016. If the Vis Vires Note is not paid upon maturity, the interest rate shall increase to twenty-two percent (22%). The Vista Note is convertible into common stock, at Vis Vires’s option, at 58% of the average of the lowest three (3) closing bid prices for our common stock during the ten (10) trading day period prior to conversion. In no event shall Vis Vires effect a conversion if such conversion results in Vis Vires beneficially owning in excess of 9.99% of the outstanding common stock of the Company. The Note and accrued interest may be prepaid from the date of issuance with the following penalties: (i) within 30 days - 110%; (ii) within 31 - 60 days - 115%; (iii) within 61 - 90 days - 120%; (iv) within 91 - 120 days - 125%; (v) within 121 - 150 days - 130%; and (vi) within 151 - 180 days - 135%. Upon the occurrence of a default as described in the Vis Vires Note, the Company shall pay an amount equal to the greater of (i) 150% of the then outstanding principle and interest, or (ii) the "parity value" of the Default Sum to be prepaid, where parity value means (a) the highest number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to such Default Sum in accordance with Article 1, treating the trading day immediately preceding the Mandatory Prepayment Date as the "Conversion Date" for purposes of determining the lowest applicable conversion price. The debt discount attributable to the fair value of the beneficial conversion feature amounted to $52,378 for the Vis Vires Note and is being accreted over the term of the Vis Vires Note.

Client Relationships

 

As new online advertising opportunities emerge, such as mobile, video and social media, we believe that having a direct client relationship will enable us to offer additional products and services to our clients.

 

Technology

 

Running thousands of online advertising campaigns simultaneously across multiple publishers poses significant technical challenges. While technologies exist to help larger companies manage and optimize their online marketing spend, we believe that such solutions are too expensive and too complex to scale down to many of our clients’ monthly advertising budget. We have built our services, systems and networks for maximum scalability and flexibility to manage these types of campaigns, and we have invested heavily in automation technologies that reduce the level of human intervention required to support these campaigns. This automation is critical to our ability to scale our business and deliver moderately budgeted campaigns in a cost-effective manner.

 

Strategy

 

We generate revenue by providing marketing and advertising solutions for our clients through direct sales and our online marketing platform. We sell our marketing products based on a consultative approach to discover customer needs and build pricing and packages which provide a positive return on their investment. While we do not commit to a specific set of results, we work with our clients to meet their marketing objectives. Clients primarily pay us for leads that they can convert into customers. Typically, leads are routed through a call center or other offline customer acquisition process. Online leads are usually generated as clicks from websites or email. In brief, Artec helps clients communicate their message to potential new customers by delivering compelling offers through the use of proprietary products, media channels and distribution platforms.

 

We believe that we are in the early stages of a large and long-term business opportunity presented by the shift from traditional media formats to digital media formats. Our strategy for pursuing this opportunity includes the following key components:

 

·       Expand Media Offerings. We have developed a platform that enables us more easily to connect our client advertisers to a broader array of online publishers and, in the future, to reach customers through new formats such as mobile and video. Our plan has been, and continues to be, to fulfill, track and optimize a client’s entire digital media plan, regardless of media property or format.

 

·       Develop Digital Marketing Software Solutions. Our current products target our clients’ needs to acquire customers through online media buying. We believe that there will be continued movement towards digital platforms in the other segments of our clients’ marketing activities, such as marketing automation, lead conversion and customer relationship management. To address these and other needs, we plan to continue investing in the internal development or potential acquisition of products and services in these adjacent segments.

 

Affiliate and Performance Marketing Key Trends and Drivers

One of the most effective ways to enter new markets (pay-for-performance model represents low risk and low overhead while also providing access to local marketing experts without having to bring on full-time staff),

Growth of mobile,

We differentiate ourselves by utilizing our marketing platform to attract large multi-location organizations. These organizations have seen dramatic cuts to their marketing departments over the last few years forcing them to work more with less. We help centralize and streamline marketing initiatives for these large decentralized organizations allowing them, in many cases for the first time in years, to stop playing defense and become offensive in the management and implementation of their marketing efforts. In essence, we allow independent field offices, franchise owners, sales agents to have access to easy to utilize fortune 500 type marketing services at their disposal 24/7. We have proven our services lower client acquisition costs, increase the overall spend of client initiatives, creating more loyal and profitable clients.

Penetration of smartphones and tablets has also driven rapid growth of mobile commerce, which represented $64.5 billion globally in 2012, and is expected to grow at 35.5% CAGR between 2012 and 2017 according to IDC. The internet and mobile devices are becoming increasingly important mediums for businesses to generate customer engagement and leads that ultimately result in sales, both online and offline. However, these mediums are also complex and fragmented, making it difficult and costly to engage and convert customers. Illustrating the difficulty of converting customers, 88% of online shoppers surveyed in February 2013 by comScore indicated they had from time to time placed items in a shopping cart and left a site without making a purchase. It is therefore important for businesses to develop and execute online and mobile marketing campaigns efficiently and effectively harnessing consumer intent, big data, technology, measurability, and the ability to target, at scale. According to ZenithOptimedia, marketers spent $88.6 billion on internet advertising in 2012, with this spend expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of over 14.3% through 2015.

 

Competitive Landscape

 

The market for online advertising solutions is intensely competitive and rapidly changing, and with the introduction of new technologies and market entrants, we expect competition to intensify in the future. Many of our current and potential competitors enjoy substantial competitive advantages, such as greater name recognition, longer operating histories and larger marketing budgets, as well as substantially greater financial, technical and other resources. In addition, many of our current and potential competitors have established marketing relationships and access to larger customer bases.

 

Our competitors include:

 

·      Internet Marketing Providers. We compete with large Internet marketing providers such as Google, Yahoo! and Microsoft. These providers typically offer their products and services through disparate, online-only, self-service platforms. We compete with these companies on the basis of our product offerings and our publisher-agnostic services to our clients. Although we compete against the self-service offerings of these large providers, we also have business relationships with them. We also believe that we provide a valuable service to these companies by connecting them to a large number of clients, which are generally disinclined to purchase online advertising via self-service platforms

 

·      Traditional, Offline Media Companies. We compete with traditional yellow page and newspaper companies with large, direct sales forces. While these traditional media companies have made investments to address the migration of advertising expenditures away from their existing print products, we believe that they face the prospect of cannibalizing their existing higher margin products that they own and the challenge of re-training and restructuring their sales forces, most of whom have only sold print products and many of whom still receive the majority of their income from selling those products. We compete with these companies on the basis of the strength and breadth of our technology platform and product offering and our focus exclusively on Internet advertising.

 

Intellectual Property

 

We have developed a few different very important software/applications, which we consider to be proprietary including a custom gateway that runes real-time analytics and tracking on all campaigns powered by our resources. This software helps us manage and mitigate exposure to fraud, while enabling us to purchase media more intelligently, with better control over our advertiser’s budget in order to maximize campaign efficiency and effectiveness. In addition, we have developed Email Service Provider (“ESP”) and Message Transfer Agent (“MTA”) software, which allows clients to log in and manage their own mailings directly. We have also developed dialer/phone systems to maximize efficiency with respect to telecommunication client management.

Results of Operations

 

We are a start-up company. We did not begin meaningful operations until our first quarter of 2014. As of July 31, 2015, we had total assets of $9,967 and total liabilities of $230,604. Since our Inception to July 31, 2015, we have accumulated a deficit of $1,717,185. We anticipate that we will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. We expect we will require additional capital to meet our long term operating requirements. We expect to raise additional capital through, among other things, the sale of equity or debt securities.

 

Three and Six Months Ended July 31, 2015 Compared with the Three and Six Months Ended July 31, 2014

 

Revenue

 

Revenue is generated from advertising and marketing services, through the sale of data used by companies in the targeted marketing of their products and services via direct mail and contracted fees from student loan borrowers in exchange for providing services designed to assist the borrower in managing their student loans and enroll in qualifying programs that ease their financial burden.

 

Revenue decreased $3,446 to $61,224 during the three months ended July 31, 2015 compared to $64,670 during the three months ended July 31, 2014. Revenue increased $114,139 to $197,477 during the six months ended July 31, 2015 compared to $83,338 during the six months ended July 31, 2014. The three month year-over-year decrease is due to decreased advertising services revenue offset by higher student loan services revenue. The six month year-over-year increase is due to increased direct mail revenue and increased revenue from student loan services which did not exist in 2014.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses decreased $119,586 to $114,263 during the three months ended July 31, 2015 compared to $233,849 during the three months ended July 31, 2014. Operating expenses decreased $46,106 to $342,937 during the six months ended July 31, 2015 compared to $389,043 during the six months ended July 31, 2014. The three and six month year-over-year decrease is due to the absence of $100,000 of stock based compensation in 2015 compared to 2014, decreases in officer compensation, web development and programming and professional fees offset by higher marketing costs related to student loan services.

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

During the three and six months ended July 31, 2015, the Company incurred $13,534 and $20,451, respectively of interest expense related to the stated interest contained in our outstanding convertible promissory notes and $58,363 and $102,886, respectively of amortization related to the debt discount resulting from the beneficial conversion feature contained on our convertible promissory notes. No such expense was recognized during the three and six months ended July 31, 2014.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our principal source of liquidity is cash in the bank. As of July 31, 2015 our current assets were $9,967 and were comprised of $7,193 in cash and $2,774 of accounts receivable. Due to the “start-up” nature of our business, we expect to incur losses as we develop and introduce our products and services. These conditions raise doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management recognizes that in order for us to meet our capital requirements, and continue to operate, additional financing will be necessary. We expect to raise additional funds through private or public equity investment in order to expand the range and scope of business operations. We will try to raise additional funds through private or public equity but there is no assurance that such additional funds will be available for us to finance our operations on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital or generate positive cash flow, it is unlikely that we will be able to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

 

For the six months ended July 31, 2015, net cash flows used in operating activities was $213,252, compared to $246,993 for the six months ended July 31, 2014. The $33,741 decrease was due to continued efforts to manage the Company’s expenses.

 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

 

For the six months ended July 31, 2015, we generated cash flows from financing activities of $163,700 from the issuance of common stock and loans compared to $320,255 for the six months ended July 31, 2014. We have financed our operations primarily through the issuance of debt and equity.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that have a significant impact on the results that we report in our financial statements. Some of our accounting policies require us to make difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates regarding matters that are inherently uncertain. Certain of these significant accounting policies require us to make critical accounting estimates, as defined below.

 

A critical accounting estimate is defined as one that is both material to the presentation of our financial statements and requires management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments that could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Specifically, critical accounting estimates have the following attributes: 

 

 

·

we are required to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time of the estimate; and

 

·

different estimates we could reasonably have used, or changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur, would have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

 

Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be applicable and reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. These changes have historically been minor and have been included in the financial statements as soon as they became known. Based on a critical assessment of our accounting policies and the underlying judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies, management believes that our financial statements are fairly stated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and present a meaningful presentation of our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our most critical accounting estimates include:

 

 

·

the recognition and measurement of current and deferred income taxes, which impact our provision for taxes.

 

Below, we discuss this policy further, as well as the estimates and judgments involved.

Income Taxes

 

Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current period and deferred taxes on temporary differences between the amount of taxable income and pretax financial income and between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled.

 

When accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, first, the tax position is evaluated to determine the likelihood that it will be sustained upon external examination. If the tax position is deemed “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained, the tax position is then assessed to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The amount of the benefit that may be recognized is the largest amount that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company’s utilization of U.S. Federal net operating losses will be limited in accordance to Section 381 rules. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

At the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer of the Company (the “Certifying Officer”) conducted an evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. As defined under Sections 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’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 the Certifying Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Based on this evaluation, the Certifying Officer has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, for the quarter covered by this report, to ensure that material information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported by management of the Company on a timely basis in order to comply with the Company’s disclosure obligations under the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated there under.

 

Management has found it necessary to limit the Company’s administrative staffing in order to conserve cash, until the Company’s level of business activity increases. As a result, there is limited segregation of duties amongst the employees. The Company and its independent public accounting firm have identified this as a material weakness in the Company’s internal controls. The Company intends to remedy this material weakness by hiring additional employees and reallocating duties, including responsibilities for financial reporting, among the employees as soon as there are sufficient resources available. However, until such time, this material weakness will continue to exist. Despite the limited number of employees and limited segregation of duties, management believes that the Company is capable of following its disclosure controls and procedures effectively.

 

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
