1.Nature of Operations

American Housing Income Trust, Inc. (“we”, “our”, the “Company”) was incorporated on December 17, 2007 under the laws of the State of Nevada. On February 13, 2015, following the acquisition of the majority and controlling shares of the Company by American Realty Partners, LLC (“ARP”), a change of control of the Company took place. On May 11, 2015, the Company converted into a Maryland corporation and changed its name to American Housing Income Trust, Inc.

On August 3, 2015, the Company, and Valfre Holdings, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company, and James A. Valfre and Pamela J. Valfre, f/k/a Pruitt (collectively, "Valfre") closed on the Company's acquisition of nine single family residences in Arizona through an umbrella limited liability partnership organized in Maryland called "AHIT Valfre, LLP" (“AHIT Valfre”). Pursuant to the AHIT Valfre Agreements, in consideration for the conveyance of the nine single family residences, which were acquired by AHIT Valfre “subject to” existing mortgages, AHIT Valfre issued limited partnership interests to Valfre. On April 8, 2016, AHIT Valfre completed its internal restructuring and the partners in AHIT Valfre restructured their respective interests in the partnership resulting in AHIT Valfre GP, LLC (“AHIT Valfre GP”) and AHIT Valfre Limiteds, LLC (“AHIT Valfre Limiteds”) serving as General Partner and Limited Partner respectively, of AHIT Valfre.

On August 10, 2016, the Company, and Northern New Mexico Properties, LLC, a New Mexico limited liability company closed on the Company’s acquisition of six single family residences, four apartments and sixteen mobile homes spaces located in New Mexico through an umbrella limited liability partnership organized in Maryland called “AHIT Northern NM Properties, LLP” (“AHIT NNMP). Pursuant to the AHIT NNMP Agreements, in consideration for the conveyance of the six single family residences, four apartments and sixteen mobile homes spaces, which were acquired by AHIT NNMP “subject to” existing mortgages, AHIT NNMP issued limited partnership interests to Northern New Mexico Properties, LLC.

On March 1, 2017, the Company entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement with IX Biotechnology, Inc. (“IXB”), a company focused on the production of certified organic cannabidol oil (“CBD”). The transaction closed on April 6, 2017 and, pursuant to the agreement, the Company issued 10,000,000 shares of its restricted common stock in exchange for all the issued and outstanding shares of IXB. As a result of the Stock Exchange Agreement the Company will become IXB’s sole shareholder, making IXB a subsidiary of the Company. In conjunction with the closing of the Stock Exchange Agreement, the Company has restructured its Board of Directors.

 

On March 13, 2017, the Board of Directors adopted the Company’s Second Amended Bylaws, forming the Real Estate Committee (the “Committee”). The Committee will be charged with managing all business-related matters regarding the Company’s real estate holdings.

 

On March 21, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company terminated the offering set forth in the registration statement on Form S-11 and related prospectus, which had been deemed effective on June 23, 2016, and a subsequent post-effective amendment deemed effective on September 19, 2016.

The Company is in the businesses of acquiring and operating residential properties and the production of certified organic cannabidol oil. As of the date of this filing, the Company holds title to 47 residential properties and 1 commercial property.

2.       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

          a)       Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

These unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 contained in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on April 10, 2017. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown have been reflected herein. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year or for any future period. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 as reported in the Company’s Form 10-K have been omitted.

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries ARP, AHIT Valfre, LLP, and AHIT Valfre GP, LLC, its subsidiary special purpose entities, ARP Pledgor, LLC, ARP Borrower, LLC, ARP Pledgor II, LLC, APR Borrower II, LLC, and variable interest entity AHIT NNMP, LLP. All significant intercompany transaction and balances have been eliminated. On June 24, 2015, the Company’s fiscal year-end changed from January 31 to December 31.

          b)       Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, and income taxes. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

        c)        Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for accounts payable and accrued liabilities, amounts due to/from related parties and notes payable are reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and if, applicable, the stated rate of interest is equivalent to rates currently available.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurements, defined as follows:

Level 1   Financial assets and liabilities for which values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that management has the ability to access.

Level 2   Financial assets and liabilities for which values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability (commodity derivatives and interest rate swaps).

Level 3   Financial assets and liabilities for which values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.  These inputs reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The Company does not have any financial instruments that are required to be measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.

        d)       Non-controlling Interest

Limited partnership units in AHIT NNMP that are not owned by the Company are presented as non-controlling interest in the equity section of our consolidated balance sheets.

Our limited partners do not have the right to share in the net income or losses of AHIT NNMP but have the right to convert all or part of their partnership units to common shares of the Company on a one-for-one basis following the one-year anniversary of issuance. At the time of redemption, we have the right to determine whether to redeem the non-controlling limited partnership units of AHIT NNMP for cash, based upon the fair value of an equivalent number of shares of our common stock at the time of redemption. As of March 31, 2017, there were 500,614 limited partnership units outstanding in AHIT NNMP.

e)Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date”. The amendments in ASU 2015-14 defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on its financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes ASC 840, Leases. This ASU is based on the principle that entities should recognize assets and liabilities arising from leases. The ASU does not significantly change the lessees’ recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows from the previous accounting standard. Leases are classified as finance or operating. The ASU’s primary change is the requirement for entities to recognize a lease liability for payments and a right of use asset representing the right to use the leased asset during the term on operating lease arrangements. Lessees are permitted to make an accounting policy election to not recognize the asset and liability for leases with a term of twelve months or less. Lessors’ accounting under the ASC is largely unchanged from the previous accounting standard. In addition, the ASU expands the disclosure requirements of lease arrangements. Lessees and lessors will use a modified retrospective transition approach, which includes a number of practical expedients. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 with early adoption permitted. Management continues to assess the overall impact the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on the Company’s financial statements

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)”. The amendments in this ASU are intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations by amending certain existing illustrative examples and adding additional illustrative examples to assist in the application of the guidance. The effective date and transition of these amendments is the same as the effective date and transition of ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. Public entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2014-09 for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods therein. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on its financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718). This update is intended to provide simplification of the accounting for share based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The effective date is the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customer (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing.” The amendments in this ASU clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. The effective date and transition of these amendments is the same as the effective date and transition of ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. Public entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2014-09 for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods therein. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on its financial statements.

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customer (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients.” The amendments in this ASU affect only the narrow aspects of Topic 606. The effective date and transition of these amendments is the same as the effective date and transition of ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. Public entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2014-09 for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods therein. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on its financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The amendments in this ASU replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on its financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force). ASU 2016-15 reduces diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 with early adoption permitted. Management continues to assess the overall impact the adoption of ASU 2016-15 will have on the Company’s financial statements.

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its consolidated financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

3.   Going Concern

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its stockholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company incurred a net loss of $204,406, and as at March 31, 2017, the Company has accumulated losses of $12,628,745 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated 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 the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company has been successful in raising cash through equity offerings in the past. The Company has financing efforts in place to continue to raise cash through equity offerings.

 

Management has developed a plan to continue operations. This plan includes obtaining equity and debt financing and reducing expenses. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company received $133,166 net proceeds from equity financing. Although the Company has successfully completed financings in the past fiscal years, the Company cannot assure that the plans to address these matters in the future will be successful.

General Description of Business

The Company was incorporated on December 17, 2007 under the laws of the State of Nevada. On February 13, 2015, following the acquisition of the majority and controlling shares of the Company by American Realty Partners, LLC (“ARP”), a change of control of the Company took place. On May 11, 2015, the Company converted into a Maryland corporation and changed its name to American Housing Income Trust, Inc. Thereafter, the Company acquired, renovated, rehabilitated and, in turn, rented single family residence. The Company raised funds to diversify and grow its portfolio through a public offering on registration statement Form S-11/A, effective as of June 23, 2016.

On March 1, 2017, the Company entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement with IXB Biotechnology, Inc. (“IXB”) whereby the Company issued 10,000,000 shares of its restricted common stock to IXB (the “IXB Shares”) in exchange for all of IXB’s issued and outstanding shares, resulting in IXB becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The IXB Shares were issued on a pro rata basis to IXB’s shareholders, resulting in a change in control of the Company. As a result of the IXB merger, the Company is expanding its businesses into other sectors, including cannabidiol (CBD) oil production.

Regarding its residential housing portfolio, the Company faces competition from different sources in acquiring properties and renting our properties. Our primary competitors in acquiring portfolios are private equity investors, REITs, and sizeable institutional investors. We believe that our vertically integrated real estate acquisition and management platform, local presence, and market knowledge in markets that meet our selection criteria provide us with competitive advantages.

Acquisition of properties are financed from various sources of capital, including retained cash flow, issuance of additional equity and debt, and sales of properties. Debt financing and other capital required by the Company may not be available or may only be available on adverse terms. While the Company intends to actively acquire and rehab properties for rental operations, the Company may be unable to lease up the properties on schedule, resulting in decrease in expected rental revenues. Labor and materials required for maintenance, repair, and capital expenditures may be more expensive than anticipated. Occupancy levels and market rents may be adversely affected by national and local economic and market conditions.

We believe that our expansion into CBD oil technologies and production provides the Company with diversification of assets. The CBD industry is new and growing rapidly. We face competition from a variety of competitors. We believe our experience in management and real estate acquisition, coupled with the experience and technologies acquired from IXB, may create a competitive advantage in this new, developing industry. However, as with any investment, there is no guarantee that we will be successful.

We qualify as an "emerging growth company" under the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to (a) have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (b) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor's report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis); (c) submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as "say-on-pay" and "say-on-frequency;" and (d) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO's compensation to median employee compensation.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

-18
 

 

We will remain an "emerging growth company" for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a "large accelerated filer" as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which would occur if the market value of our ordinary shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.

As an emerging growth company, we are exempt from Section 14A and B of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which require the shareholder approval of executive compensation and golden parachutes. The Company is an Emerging Growth Company under the JOBS Act of 2012, but the Company has irrevocably opted out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards pursuant to Section 107(B) of the JOBS Act. We plan to raise capital following our recent change in status to an operating entity through the offering of shares of common stock or preferred stock to investors. We anticipate we will need to pursue capital to fund our operations over the next twenty-four months. We believe we will be able to raise the necessary capital to carry out our business plan, but there is no assurance that we will be able to do so.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we reported a net loss of $204,406 and $789,003, respectively. The change in net loss between the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was primarily attributable to a decrease in operating expense and gain on sale of properties during the three months ended March 31, 2017. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, depreciation increased by $16,966, general and administrative expense decreased by $376,326, and interest expense increased by $13,101. The net decrease in general and administrative expense is a result of a decrease of $75,825 in professional fees, a decrease of $321,828 in management fees, and a decrease of $119,499 in advertising and marketing expense and offset by an increase of $181,394 in rental property expense. Professional fees were $75,825 higher for the three months ended March 31, 2016 because of the legal and accounting fees associated with the preparation and amendments of the registration statement during the three months ended March 31, 2016. Management fees decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2017 is a result of the former Chief Financial Officer of the Company agreeing to waive his management fees commencing October 7, 2016. Rental property expenses increased during the three months ended March 31, 2017 due to the closing costs associated with the sale of real estate properties.

 

Revenue - Rental revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2017, were $172,769, compared to $161,900 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. This resulted in an increase of approximately $10,869 from the comparable period. The increase in revenue is primarily a result of the Company having more rental properties rented out and generating revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016.

 

Operating Expenses - Operating expenses for the three ended March 31, 2017, was $646,696, as compared to $955,884 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The $309,188 decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease of $376,326 in general and administrative expense mainly related to the decrease of $75,825 in professional fees, $321,828 in management fees, $119,499 in advertising and marketing expense and offset by an increase of $181,394 in rental property expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recognized stock-based compensation of $291,058 pursuant to an employment agreement which is included in general and administrative expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recognized $0 in stock-based compensation as a result of the former Chief Financial Officer of the Company agreeing to waive his management fees commencing October 7, 2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, maintain our assets, fund our operations and other general business needs. Our liquidity, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive and other factors that are beyond our control. Our near-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of purchasing our target assets, restoring and leasing properties and funding our operations.

Our long-term liquidity needs primarily of funds necessary to pay for the acquisition and maintenance of properties; non-recurring capital expenditures; interest and principal payments on our indebtedness; and general and administrative expenses. We seek to satisfy our long-term liquidity needs through cash flow from operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, the issuance of debt and equity securities, and property dispositions. We have financed our operations and acquisitions to date through the funding by members of our subsidiaries and third party loans, including the debt service identified above in the section titled "Description of Business."

We believe our current available cash along with anticipated revenues may be insufficient to meet our cash needs for the near future if we do not receive additional funding. Our assets are illiquid by their nature. Thus, a timely liquidation of assets might not be a viable source of short-terms liquidity should a cash flow shortfall arise that cause a need for additional liquidity. It could be necessary to source liquidity from other financing alternatives should any such scenario arise. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to us, if at all. In that event, we would be required to change our growth strategy and seek funding on that basis, if at all.

Cash Flow Information

 

Net cash used for operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was $267,836 and $302,790, respectively. The decrease in cash used in operating activities was primarily related to the increase in revenue and from the timing of payments of accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $381,404 as compared to $202,673 of net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The change was due to the proceeds from sale of real estate properties.

Net cash provided by all financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $4,688 as compared to cash used in financing activities of $21,475 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The change was due to proceeds from sale of common stock of $133,166 during the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to $0 in the three months ended March 31, 2016, and offset by the repayment of related party advances of $107,051 in the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to $0 in the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Our estimated working capital requirement for the next 12 months is $350,000 with an estimated burn rate of $30,000 per month. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, we had cash of $120,407 at March 31, 2017. 

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into 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.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements and related financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

-21
 

We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements. Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2 of our financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report. We believe the following critical accounting policies and procedures, among others, affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

As a smaller reporting company, as defined in 17 CFR § 229.10(f)(1), we are not required to provide the information requested by this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated our company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by our company in reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities Exchange Commission and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our company's management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective was due to the presence of the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both United States generally accepted accounting principles and Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines. Management anticipates that such disclosure controls and procedures will not be effective until the material weaknesses are remediated.

As described in Basis of Presentation in this First Quarter Report for fiscal year 2016, the Company recently determined that a material weakness existed in the Firm's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of March 31, 2017. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As a result of that determination, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have since concluded that the Firm's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2017.

We plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal controls over financial reporting. During the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending December 31, 2017, subject to obtaining additional financing: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out above are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2017 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
