NOTE 1:- GENERAL

 

a.OphthaliX Inc. (the “Company” or “OphthaliX”), originally incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 10, 1999 under the name Bridge Capital.com Inc., was a nominally capitalized corporation that did not commence its operations until it changed its name to Denali Concrete Management Inc. (“Denali”), in March 2001. Denali was a concrete placement company specializing in providing concrete improvements in the road construction industry. Denali operated primarily in Anchorage, Alaska, placing curb and gutter, sidewalks and retaining walls for state, municipal and military projects.

 

In December 2005, the Company ceased its principal business operations and focused its efforts on seeking a business opportunity, becoming a public shell company in the U.S.

 

Eye-Fite Ltd. (“Eye-Fite” or the “Subsidiary”) was founded on June 27, 2011 in contemplation of the execution of a transaction between Can-Fite BioPharma Ltd. (the “Parent company” or “Can-Fite”), a public company in Israel and U.S, and the Company, as further detailed in Note 1b.

 

Following the transaction, Denali changed its name to OphthaliX Inc. and also changed its corporate domicile from Nevada to Delaware.

 

On July 5, 2016, the Company released top-line results from its Phase II clinical trial of CF101 for the treatment of glaucoma. In this trial, no statistically significant differences were found between the CF101 treated group and the placebo group in the primary endpoint of lowering intra ocular pressure (“IOP”). High IOP is a characteristic of glaucoma. CF101 was found to have a favorable safety profile and was well tolerated.

 

In September 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors and Can-Fite, the Company’s parent and majority shareholder, consented in writing to, among other things, the voluntary dissolution and liquidation of the Company pursuant to a Plan of Dissolution.

 

In November 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors abandoned the voluntary dissolution and liquidation of the Company. Subsequently, on November 15, 2016, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Wize Pharma Ltd. (“Wize”) for the acquisition of such company by way of a reverse triangular merger. On May 21, 2017, the definitive Merger Agreement was entered into. For more information regarding the Merger Agreement refer also to Note 1d.

 

The Company  has no active business operations and is deemed to be a “shell company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.

b.Reverse Recapitalization and related arrangements:

 

  1. Recapitalization:

 

On November 21, 2011 (the “Closing Date”), Can-Fite purchased 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $ 0.001 per share in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Eyefite pursuant to the terms of a stock purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”). As a result, Eyefite became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and Can-Fite became its majority stockholder and a parent company.

 

On November 21, 2011, the Company also issued a warrant to Can-Fite by which Can-Fite has the right, until the earlier of (a) November 21, 2016 and (b) the closing of the acquisition of the Company by another entity, resulting in the exchange of the Company’s outstanding common shares such that its stockholders prior to such transaction own, directly or indirectly, less than 50% of the voting power of the surviving entity, to convert its right to the Additional Payment (as defined below in Note 1b2) into 480,022 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances). The per share exercise price for the shares was $5.148. The warrant expired on November 21, 2016.

 

Simultaneously with the transactions described above, the Company completed a private placement of shares of Common Stock for gross proceeds of $3,330 through the sale of 646,776 shares to third party investors and sold 466,139 shares of Common Stock to Can-Fite in exchange for 714,922 ordinary shares of Can-Fite (representing approximately 2.5% of Can-Fite’s issued and outstanding share capital as of the Closing Date), valued at $2,400 and 97,112 shares to Can-Fite for gross proceeds of $500. As of June 30, 2017, the Company holds 446,827 Can-Fite ordinary shares, representing approximately 1.35% of Can-Fite’s outstanding share capital.

 

In contemplation of the recapitalization transaction, on November 21, 2011, the Board of Directors, complying with the undertaking taken as part of the recapitalization of the Company on November 21, 2011, formerly resolved to issue to certain investors and Can-Fite, 1,455,228 and 1,267,315 warrants to acquire 323,384 and 281,625 shares of Common Stock of the Company, respectively (the “Warrants”). The exercise price of such Warrants was $7.74 per share. The Warrants were exercisable for a period of five years from their date of grant and did not contain any non- standard anti-dilution provisions. The warrants expired on November 20, 2016.

NOTE 1:- GENERAL (Cont.)

 

The transaction was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization which is outside the scope ASC 805, “Business Combinations”. Under reverse capitalization accounting, EyeFite is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes, and acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of the Company. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are reported at their historical amounts. Consequently, the consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect the operations of the acquirer for accounting purposes together with a deemed issuance of shares, equivalent to the shares held by the former shareholders of the legal acquirer and a recapitalization of the equity of the accounting acquirer. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company since the effective date of the reverse capitalization and the accounts of EyeFite since inception.

 

2.License and research and development services from Can-Fite:

 

In connection with the consummation of the recapitalization transaction, the Company and Can-Fite entered into a license agreement, pursuant to which Can-Fite granted EyeFite a sole and exclusive worldwide license for the use of CF101, solely in the field of ophthalmic diseases (“CF101”). EyeFite was obligated to make to the U.S. National Institutes of Health (“NIH”), with regard to the patents of which are included in the license to EyeFite, for as long as the license agreement between the Company and NIH remains in effect, a nonrefundable minimum annual royalty fee and potential future royalties of 4.0% to 5.5% on net sales.

 

In addition, the Company will be obligated to make certain milestone payments ranging from $25 to $500 upon the achievement of various development milestones for each indication. As of December 31, 2016, the Company accrued an amount of $100 related to DES phase III clinical trial and $75 related to the glaucoma Phase II clinical trial. Eye-Fite will also be required to make payments of 20% of sublicensing revenues, excluding royalties and net of the required milestone payments. Until June 30, 2017, the Company did not reach any milestone or generate revenue that would trigger additional payments to Can-Fite.

 

In addition, following the closing of the recapitalization transaction, Can-Fite, OphthaliX and EyeFite entered into a service agreement (the “Service Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Service Agreement, Can-Fite will manage the research and development activities relating to pre-clinical and clinical studies for the development of the ophthalmic indications of CF101. In consideration for Can-Fite’s services, EyeFite will pay to Can-Fite a service fee (consisting of all expenses and costs incurred by Can-Fite plus 15%). In addition, the Company is committed to future additional payments equal to 2.5% of any and all proceeds received by EyeFite relating to the activities regarding the drug (the “Additional Payment”).

 

According to the Service Agreement, Can-Fite had the right, to convert the Additional Payment into an additional 480,022 shares of Common Stock of the Company for total consideration of $2,471 (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances). Such right expired.

NOTE 1:- GENERAL (Cont.)

 

c.During the six months’ period ended June 30, 2017, the Company incurred operating losses and has accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2016 amounting to $225 and $10,119, respectively. The Company will be required to obtain additional liquidity resources in the near term. In addition, in February 2013, as last updated in August 2015, the Company obtained a formal letter from Can-Fite stating that Can-Fite agrees to defer the payments under the Services Agreement from January 31, 2013 for the performance of the clinical trials of CF101 in ophthalmic indications until the completion of a fundraising by the Company that will allow such payments. Also, in August 2015, Can-Fite issued another financial support letter, pursuant to which it committed to cover any shortfall in the costs and expenses of operations of the Company which are in excess of the Company’s available cash to finance its operations, including cash generated from any future sale of Can-Fite shares. Any related balance on amounts owed bear interest at a rate of 3% per annum. Such letter expired on October 10, 2016 but were extended on November 14, 2016 by Can-Fite under the same terms and conditions in order to fund the Company’s operations. Such letter shall expire on the earlier of (1) completion of signed reverse merger transaction as described in note 1a above, or (2) decision of OphthaliX to cease any action in relation to such merger, or (3) February 28, 2017. Deferred payments under the Services Agreement are currently due. As of June 30, 2017, the deferred payments to Can-Fite totaled $4,758. Such deferred payments will be waived  by Can-Fite upon the closing of the merger transaction with Wize Pharma Ltd. (“Wize”) (see also Note 1d).

 

There are no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain an adequate level of financial resources in the next twelve months. The Company will have a severe negative impact on its ability to remain a viable company.

 

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

d.On May 21, 2017, the Company, Wize, Bufiduck Ltd., a company formed under the laws of the State of Israel and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), entered into an agreement and plan of merger (as may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) that provides for, among other things, the merger of Merger Sub with and into Wize, with Wize continuing as the surviving entity and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”).

NOTE 1:- GENERAL (Cont.)

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of Wize common stock that is issued and outstanding will be automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive that number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Company common stock equal to an initial exchange ratio of 5.3681 shares of OphthaliX common stock for each one Wize ordinary share (as may be adjusted, the “Exchange Ratio”). To that end, as a result a private placement conducted by Wize (the “2017 PIPE”), (1) on account of the first closing in the 2017 PIPE, the Exchange Ratio is currently 5.1617 shares of Company common stock for each one Wize ordinary share, and (2) if the second closing of the 2017 PIPE is completed prior to the Effective Time, the Exchange Ratio is expected to be further adjusted to 4.1781 shares of Company common stock for each one Wize ordinary share. Each convertible note or loan to purchase Wize ordinary shares existing at the time of the Merger Agreement (the “Convertible Loans”) will constitute a convertible note to purchase the number of shares of Company common stock equal to the number of Wize ordinary shares that were subject to a Convertible Loan immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio at a proportionally adjusted conversion price. In this respect, it was further agreed that the conversion of all or part of such Convertible Loans (including future investment rights to the holders thereof upon such conversion (the “Future Investment Rights”) and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Future Investment Rights), whether before or after the Effective Time, shall not modify the Exchange Ratio.

 

As contemplated in the Merger Agreement, the Company plans to call an annual meeting of its stockholders in order to, among other things, amend its Certificate of Incorporation immediately following the Merger, in order to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 100,000,000 to 500,000,000 and to change the name of the Company from “OphthaliX, Inc.” to “Wize Pharma, Inc.”.

 

Consummation of the Merger is subject to certain closing conditions, including, among other things, (i) the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4, including a proxy statement and prospectus, (ii) approval by the stockholders of the Company and shareholders of Wize, (iii) as of the earlier of the Effective Time or August 30, 2017, Wize shall have available cash and cash equivalents of at least NIS 1,000,000, (iv) the Company has no liabilities as of the Effective Time (including any indebtedness owed to Can-Fite), and (v) receipt by Wize an interim tax pre-ruling from the Israeli Tax Authority. On July 27, 2017, the aforementioned registration statement on Form S-4 was filed but has not been declared effective yet.

NOTE 4:- STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIENCY

 

a.Shares of Common Stock:

 

The shares of Common Stock represent the legal acquirer, meaning OphthaliX’s share capital as of the transaction date.

 

Shares of Common Stock confer upon the holders the right to receive notice to participate and vote in the general meetings of the Company and the right to receive dividends, if declared.

 

On July 18, 2013, the Company’s stockholders approved a reverse stock split of one share for each four and one-half shares outstanding (1:4.5) (the “Reverse Split”) which became effective as of the close of business on August 6, 2013. All shares of Common Stock, warrants, options, per share data and exercise prices included in these consolidated financial statements and notes for all periods presented have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split with respect to the Company’s shares of Common Stock.

 

b.Warrants:

 

In contemplation of the Reverse Recapitalization, it was agreed that for each four shares of Common Stock purchased by the investors and Can-Fite, they will be granted by the Company nine warrants to acquire two shares of Common Stock of the Company. The exercise price of the warrants is $7.74 per share of Common Stock. The warrants were exercisable for a period of five years from their date of grant. The warrants did not contain nonstandard anti-dilution provisions. In November 2016, all such warrants expired.

 

According to ASC 815-40-15 and 25 instructions, the Company’s management evaluated whether the warrants are entitled to the scope exception in ASC 815-10-15-74 (as the warrants meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815-10-15-83). Based on their straight forward terms (i.e., fix exercise price, no down-round or other provisions that will preclude them from being considered indexed to the Company’s own stock), the Company’s management concluded the warrants should be classified as equity at inception.

 

In contemplation of the transaction, the Company issued a total of 532,870 fully vested warrants to acquire 118,415 shares of Common Stock to consultants and brokers involved in the transaction. These warrants were exercisable upon the payment of $5.148 per share of Common Stock. In November 2016, all such warrants expired.

NOTE 4:- STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIENCY (Cont.)

 

c.Stock option plan and grant:

 

In 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the adoption of the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”). An Israeli annex was subsequently adopted in 2013 to comply with the requirements set by the Israeli law in general and in particular with the provisions of section 102 of the Israeli tax ordinance. Under the 2012 Plan and Israeli annex, the Company may grant its officers, directors, employees and consultants, stock options, restricted stocks and Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) of the Company. Each Stock option granted shall be exercisable at such times and terms and conditions as the Company’s Board of Directors may specify in the applicable option agreement, provided that no option will be granted with a term in excess of 10 years. Upon the adoption of the 2012 Plan, the Company reserved for issuance 1,088,888 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value each. As of June 30, 2017, the Company has 971,388 shares of Common Stock available for future grant under the 2012 Plan.

 

During the six months’ periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, no stock options have been granted.

 

The below is a summary of the Company’s options activity for employees under Company’s 2012 Plan:

  Exercisable as of June 30, 2017   117,500    7.96    5.2   $- 

 

As of June 30, 2017, there is no aggregated intrinsic value of outstanding and exercisable options. The aggregate intrinsic value represents the total intrinsic value (the difference between the deemed fair value of the Company’s Ordinary Shares on the last day of the second quarter of 2017 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on June 30, 2017. This amount is impacted by the changes in the fair market value of the Company’s shares.

 

Stock-based compensation expenses recognized during the six months’ periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 totaled to $0 and $3, respectively.

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

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations analyzes the major elements of our balance sheets, statements of income and cash flows. This section should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Year Ended December 31, 2016 and our interim financial statements and accompanying notes to these financial statements. All amounts are in U.S. dollars and rounded. 

Forward-Looking Statement Notice 

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements about our expectations, beliefs or intentions regarding, among other things, our product development efforts, business, financial condition, results of operations, strategies or prospects. In addition, from time to time, we or our representatives have made or may make forward-looking statements, orally or in writing. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “should” or “anticipate” or their negatives or other variations of these words or other comparable words or by the fact that these statements do not relate strictly to historical or current matters. These forward-looking statements may be included in, but are not limited to, various filings made by us with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, press releases or oral statements made by or with the approval of one of our authorized executive officers. Forward-looking statements relate to anticipated or expected events, activities, trends or results as of the date they are made. Because forward-looking statements relate to matters that have not yet occurred, these statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from any future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Many factors could cause our actual activities or results to differ materially from the activities and results anticipated in forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, those set forth in our most recent annual reports referenced below. 

This report identifies important factors which could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements, particularly those set forth under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 23, 2017. 

Such risk factors are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any of our forward-looking statements. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. 

All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf speak only as of the date of this report and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included in this report. We undertake no obligations to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. In evaluating forward-looking statements, you should consider these risks and uncertainties. 

Description of Business 

OphthaliX was a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapeutic products for the treatment of ophthalmic disorders. OphthaliX has in-licensed certain patents and patent applications protecting the use in the ophthalmic field of our current pipeline drug under development, a synthetic A3 adenosine receptor, or A3AR, agonist, CF101 (known generically as IB-MECA). 

On July 5, 2016, OphthaliX released top-line results from its Phase II trial with respect to the development of CF101 for the treatment of glaucoma or related syndromes of ocular hypertension. In this trial, no statistically significant differences were found between the CF101 treated group and the placebo group in the primary endpoint of lowering intra ocular pressure. 

Subsequently, in September 2016, OphthaliX’s board of directors and Can-Fite BioPharma Ltd. (“Can-Fite”), OphthaliX’s parent and holder of approximately 82% of the outstanding shares of common stock of OphthaliX, consented in writing to, among other things, to OphthaliX’s voluntary dissolution and liquidation pursuant to a Plan of Dissolution, that would result in OphthaliX’s complete dissolution and liquidation. The Plan of Dissolution was expected to go into effect 20 days after the date an information statement (the “Definitive Information Statement”) was first given to all OphthaliX’s shareholders who did not execute the written consent. 

Prior to the distribution of the Definitive Information Statement, on November 10, 2016, OphthaliX’s board of directors abandoned its voluntary dissolution and liquidation. On the same day, OphthaliX’s board of directors authorized its entry into a non-binding letter of intent with Wize Pharma Ltd. (“Wize”) for a proposed reverse merger. 

Subsequently, on May 21, 2017, OphthaliX and a wholly-owned private Israeli subsidiary of the Company, Bufiduck Ltd. (“Merger Sub”), and Wize Pharma, an Israeli company listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange currently focused on the treatment of ophthalmic disorders, including dry eye syndrome, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Wize, with Wize becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of OphthaliX and the surviving corporation of the merger (the “Merger”). The parties intend to effect the Merger and the other transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement by way of an Israeli court-approved plan of arrangement among the Merger Sub and Wize and their respective shareholders and (if applicable) creditors, in accordance with Sections 350 and 351 of the Israeli Companies Law of 1999, as amended.  

 

 - 15 - 

 

 

Since the Merger Agreement is subject to approvals and other conditions, there can be no assurance that the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will be consummated in a timely basis or at all.

 

OphthaliX has no active business operations and is deemed to be a “shell company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.

Financial expenses, net   205,000    59,000

Revenues

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses were $216,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $108,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, an increase of $108,000 or 100%. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increase of professional services in connection to the Merger transaction with Wize.

 

Financial Expenses, net

 

Financial expenses, net were $205,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to financial expenses of $59,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, a change of $146,000 or 247%.

Revenues

 

We did not generate any revenues from operations. We had no revenues because we do not have any commercial products.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses were $8,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $43,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016, a decrease of $35,000 or 81%. The decrease in research and development expenses is primarily related to the fact that the Phase II CF101 study for glaucoma was in its final stages during 2016 and that no material research and development expenses were incurred in the three months ended June 30, 2017.

 

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses were $133,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $64,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016, an increase of $69,000 or 108%.

Financial Expenses, net

 

Financial expenses, net were $85,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to financial expenses of $30,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016, a change of $55,000 or 183%. Financial expenses, net consisted primarily of interest expenses due to deferred payments to our majority shareholder and parent company, Can-Fite and impairment loss of investment in Parent Company. The increase of financial expenses, net was mainly attributable to impairment loss of investment in Parent Company. 

 

Net Loss

 

As a result of the foregoing, we incurred a net loss of $226,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared $137,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016, a decrease of $89,000 or 65%.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures.

 

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had $18,000 and $13,000 in cash and cash equivalents, a working capital deficit of $4,590,000 and $4,160,000 and an accumulated deficit of $10,119,000 and $9,689,000, respectively. The increase in working capital deficit was primarily due to our expenses financed by our Parent Company and impairment loss of investment in Parent Company.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $5,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared with net cash used in operating activities of $16,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, a change of $21,000 or 131%. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was primarily related to increase in the net loss amounted to $135,000, decrease in the stock-based compensation expenses amounted to $3,000, increase in the Impairment loss of investment in Parent Company amounted to $137,000, changes in other accounts receivable, other account payables and accrued expenses and related parties amounted to $22,000.

 

There was no net cash used in investing and provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. 

 

We have no current source of revenue. In February 2013, as last updated in August 2015, we obtained a formal letter from Can-Fite stating that Can-Fite agreed to defer the payments under the Services Agreement from January 31, 2013 for the performance of the clinical trials of CF101 in ophthalmic indications until the completion of a fundraising by the Company that will allow such payments. Also, in August 2015, Can-Fite issued another financial support letter, pursuant to which it committed to cover any shortfall in the costs and expenses of operations of the Company which were in excess of the Company’s available cash to finance its operations, including cash generated from any future sale of Can-Fite shares. Any related balance on amounts owed bore interest at a rate of 3% per annum. Both letters expired on October 10, 2016. On November 14, 2016, Can-Fite agreed to extend the support letter under the same terms and conditions in order to fund the Company’s operations. Such letter expired on February 28, 2017. Deferred payments under the Services Agreement are currently due. As of June 30, 2017, the deferred payments to Can-Fite totaled $4,758,000.

 

These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The opinion of our independent registered public accounting firm on our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Future reports on our financial statements may include an explanatory paragraph with respect to our ability to continue as a going concern. 

 

As of the date of this report, we have no material capital commitments.

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 material effect on our consolidated financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our significant accounting policies, which include management’s best estimates and judgments, are included in Note 2 to the financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2017 included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

 

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act, during our most recent fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2017, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
