DANIELS CORPORATE ADVISORY COMPANY, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

  

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Daniels Corporate Advisory Company, Inc. (“Daniels” or the Company) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 2, 2002. The Company creates and implements corporate strategy alternatives for mini-cap public and private companies. 

 

The Company formed Payless Truckers, Inc. (“Payless”), a wholly-owned subsidiary which was incorporated in the State of Nevada, on April 11, 2018. Payless is a start-up trucking company whose principal business is to acquire, refurbish, add location electronics, advertise and sell commercial vehicles to drivers and transportation focused customers.

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation:

 

We have prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. We believe these consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) that are necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations for the periods presented. Such rules and regulations allow us to condense and omit certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  We believe these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) that are necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations for the periods presented.

 

Principles of Consolidation:

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Election to be treated as an emerging growth company:

 

For the five-year period starting in the first quarter of 2012, Daniels if continuing eligibility applies has elected to use the extended transition period now available for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b) (1).  This election allows Daniels to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.  As a result of the Company still being eligible, the Daniels financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

FASB Codification:

 

  In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, ("Codification") effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. This statement establishes the Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles used in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The Codification does not replace or affect guidance issued by the SEC or its staff. As a result of the Codification, the references to authoritative accounting pronouncements included herein in this Annual Report now refer to the Codification topic section rather than a specific accounting rule as was past practice.

 

Use of Estimates:

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Risk and Uncertainties:

 

Our future results of operations and financial condition will be impacted by the following factors, among others: our lack of capital resources, dependence on third-party management to operate the companies in which we invest and dependence on the successful development and marketing of any new products in new and existing markets. Generally, we are unable to predict the future status of these areas of risk and uncertainty. However, negative trends or conditions in these areas could have an adverse effect on our business.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

 

For financial statement presentation purposes, short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash accounts at several financial institutions, which at times may exceed the insurable FDIC limit, but management believes that there is little risk of loss.

 

Accounts receivable:

 

Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms which are recorded at net realizable value. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management’s assessment of the collectability of trade receivables. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the amount of the allowance. The Company makes judgments about the creditworthiness of each customer based on ongoing credit evaluations and monitors current economic trends that might impact the level of credit losses in the future. If the financial condition of the customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make payments, a specific allowance will be required.

 

Recovery of bad debt amounts previously written off is recorded as a reduction of bad debt expense in the period the payment is collected. If the Company’s actual collection experience changes, revisions to its allowance may be required. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance.

 

Inventory:

 

Inventory consists of well maintained, commercial freight vehicles primarily acquired at auction. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost (first in, first out) or replacement value. An allowance for potential non-saleable inventory due to movement, current conditions or obsolescence is based upon a review of inventory quantities, past history and expected future usage. The Company believes that no write-down for slow moving or obsolete inventory is necessary as of August 31, 2018.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) introduced a framework for measuring fair value and expanded required disclosure about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities.  The Company adopted the standard for those financial assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the 2008 fiscal year and the impact of adoption was not significant. FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 " Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures " (ASC 820) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

  Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
     
  Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability; either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g. interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
     
  Level 3—Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

 

7

 

 

The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.  These financial instruments include investments in available-for-sale securities and accounts payable and accrued expenses.    The Company has also applied ASC 820 for all non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The adoption of ASC 820 for non-financial assets and liabilities did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

 

Comprehensive Income:

 

ASC Topic 220 (SFAS No. 130) establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events from non-owner sources.  Per the consolidated financial statements, the Company has purchased available-for-sale securities that are subject to this reporting.

 

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment:

 

All of our non-marketable and other investments are subject to a periodic impairment review. Investments are considered to be impaired when a decline in fair value is judged to be other-than-temporary.

 

When events or changes in circumstances indicate that long-lived assets other than goodwill may be impaired, an evaluation is performed to determine if a write-down to fair value is required. When an asset is classified as held for sale, the asset's book value is evaluated and adjusted to the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. In addition, depreciation and amortization ceases while it is classified as held for sale.

 

The indicators that we use to identify those events and circumstances include:

  

  the investee's revenue and earnings trends relative to predefined milestones and overall business prospects;
     
  the general market conditions in the investee's industry or geographic area, including regulatory or economic changes;
     
  factors related to the investee's ability to remain in business, such as the investee's liquidity, debt ratios, and the rate at which the investee is using its cash; and
     
  the investee's receipt of additional funding at a lower valuation. If an investee obtains additional funding at a valuation lower than our carrying amount or a new round of equity funding is required for the investee to remain in business, and the new round of equity does not appear imminent, it is presumed that the investment is other than temporarily impaired, unless specific facts and circumstances indicate otherwise.

 

8

 

 

Revenue and Cost Recognition:

 

We recognize revenue when we satisfy performance obligations by the transfer of control of products or services to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those products or services. We recognize revenue from product sales to customers when we satisfy our performance obligation, at a point in time, upon product shipment or delivery to our customer as determined by agreed upon shipping terms. Shipping charges billed to customers are included in product sales and the related shipping costs are included in operating expenses.

 

We recognize corporate financial consulting service revenue over a period of time as the performance obligation is satisfied over a period of time rather than a point in time. Contracts have specifications unique to each customer and do not create an asset with an alternate use, and we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

 

Accounts receivable is recognized when we have transferred a good or service to a customer and our right to receive consideration is unconditional through the completion of our performance obligation. A contract asset is recognized when we have a right to consideration from the transfer of goods or services to a customer but have not completed our performance obligation. A contract liability is recognized when we have been paid by a customer but have not yet satisfied the performance obligation by transferring goods or services. We had no material contract assets or contract liabilities as of August 31, 2018.

 

Our performance obligations related to product sales are satisfied in one year or less. Unsatisfied performance obligations represent contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less. As permitted under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, we are using the practical expedient not to disclose the value of these unsatisfied performance obligations. We also use the practical expedient in which we do not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component if the expectation at contract inception is such that the period between payment by the customer and the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer will be one year or less.

 

Financing Fees:

 

Financing fees were being amortized over the life of the related liability on the straight-line method which is not materially different than using the effective interest method. All amortization has been expensed since the ongoing staffing operations have discontinued from which the finance fees were originally accrued.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Share:

  

The Company reports basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) according to the provisions of ASC Topic 260, which requires the presentation of basic EPS and, for companies with complex capital structures, diluted EPS. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders, adjusted by other changes in income or loss that would result from the assumed conversion of those potential common shares, by the weighted number of common shares and common share equivalents (unless their effect is antidilutive) outstanding. Common stock equivalents are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when the Company reports a loss because to do so would be anti-dilutive. Thus, these equivalents are not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share, resulting in basic and diluted loss per share being equal. 

 

Income Taxes:

 

The Company, a C-corporation, accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740 (SFAS No. 109). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10 " Uncertainty in Income Taxes " (ASC 740-10), on January 1, 2007. The Company has not recognized a liability as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits has not been provided since there is no unrecognized benefit since the date of adoption. The Company has not recognized interest expense or penalties as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10.  If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.

 

9

 

Currently, the Company has projected $8,076,069 as of August 31, 2018 in Net Operating Loss carryforwards available. The benefits of the potential tax savings will be recognized in the recorded to date.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:

 

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.

 

NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Company currently rents space from Arthur Viola, CEO and shareholder. This is a month to month rental and there is no commitment beyond each month. The monthly rent expense is $2,025.

 

Effective December 15, 2015, Mr. Viola entered into a $685,000 convertible promissory note agreement with the Company in lieu of cash for prior years, unpaid compensation and forgave all other remaining unpaid amounts outstanding at that time. The note matures on December 15, 2018 and bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum. Mr. Viola has the option to convert any portion of the unpaid principal balance into the Company’s common shares at a discount to market of 50% at any time.

 

During 2016, our President Arthur Viola infused $10,200 in advances for working capital. These funds were advanced interest free with no payback terms of twelve months and one day. No repayments have been made against these advances as of August 31, 2018.

 

Since its formation during 2018, an operating principal of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Payless Truckers, Inc. has loaned $70,000 to fund the subsidiary’s operations. The loan currently bears no interest and is payable on demand. The Company has imputed interest on this obligation at a rate of 10% per annum, which the Company believes is appropriate and represents a market lending rate based upon other debt financings. As of August 31, 2018, imputed interest of $2,333 has been recorded in the Company’s financial statements.

 

NOTE 4 - GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. Historically, the Company has sustained recurring operating losses. As of August 31, 2018, the Company had a working capital deficit of ($1,356,563) and an accumulated deficit of ($8,076,059).

 

Management believes that the Company's capital requirements will depend on many factors including the success of the Company's business development efforts and its ability to raise capital to fund acquisitions and operations. There are no assurances that such financing will be available to the Company when needed. 

 

The conditions described above raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 5 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Commitments:

 

The Company currently has no long-term commitments.

 

Contingencies:

 

None

  

NOTE 6 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

We are not engaged in any other litigation and management is unaware of any claims or complaints that could result in future litigation.  Management will seek to minimize disputes with its customers but recognizes the inevitability of legal action in today's business environment as an unfortunate price of conducting business.

 

NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES

As of August 31, 2018, the Company had approximately $8,076,059 in net operating loss carry forwards for federal income tax purposes which expire between 2018 and 2034.  Generally, these can be carried forward and applied against future taxable income at the tax rate applicable at that time. We are currently using a 21% effective tax rate for our projected available net operating loss carryforward. However, as a result of potential stock offerings and stock issuance in connection with potential acquisitions, as well as the possibility of the Company not realizing its business plan objectives and having future taxable income to offset, the Company's use of these NOLs may be limited under the provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  The Company is in the process of evaluating the implications of Section 382 on its ability to utilize some or all of its NOLs.

During the three months ended May 31, 2018, the Company amended this agreement and received an additional $10,000 in funding under this note. As of August 31, 2018, the note balance was $97,000 and all associated loan discounts were fully amortized.

 

NOTE 9 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

 

The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC 815, which requires that all derivative financial instruments be recorded in the balance sheets either as assets or liabilities at fair value.

 

The Company's derivative liability is an embedded derivative associated with one of the Company's convertible promissory notes. The convertible promissory notes issued, (the "Note"), are a hybrid instrument which contain an embedded derivative feature which would individually warrant separate accounting as a derivative instrument under Paragraph 815-10-05-4.  The embedded derivative feature includes the conversion feature to the Note. Pursuant to Paragraph 815-10-05-4, the value of the embedded derivative liability have been bifurcated from the debt host contract and recorded as a derivative liability resulting in a reduction of the initial carrying amount (as unamortized discount) of the notes, which are amortized as debt discount to be presented in other (income) expenses in the statements of operations using the effective interest method over the life of the notes.

 

The embedded derivative within the note have been valued using the Black Scholes approach, recorded at fair value at the date of issuance; and marked-to-market at each reporting period end date with changes in fair value recorded in the Company's statements of operations as "change in the fair value of derivative instrument".

 

As of August 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, the estimated fair value of derivative liability was determined to be $234,595 and $362,091, respectively. During the nine months ended August 31, 2018, new derivative liabilities of $63,960 were recognized by the Company. The change in the fair value of derivative liabilities for the nine months ended August 31, 2018 was $228,896 resulting in an aggregate gain on derivative liabilities.

As used in this interim report, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company”, the “Registrant”, “Daniels Corporate Advisory”, “DCAC” and “Daniels” mean Daniels Corporate Advisory Company, Inc. unless otherwise indicated.

 

Overview

  

Daniels Corporate Advisory creates and implements corporate strategy alternatives for the mini-cap public or private company client. The addition of new business opportunities and the location of professional talent for implementation is anticipated through the full-time efforts of our senior management. These efforts are to be expanded in the United States and in foreign capitals by an expanding advisory board and through the networks of independent consultants. Principals of the respective client company will open their networks to augment professional access for specialties the Daniels corporate strategy consultants believe are needed in a jointly-venture, jointly-controlled undertaking created for the client’s optimum growth.

 

Daniels may provide the client with multiple corporate strategies/opportunities including joint-ventures, marketing opportunity agreements and/or potential acquisitions structured in leveraged buyout format. One or a combination of these strategies would allow the client to enter new market niches or expand further into existing ones.

 

Recent Business Developments

 

We have continued to focus our efforts on the build out of the Daniels Corporate Strategy Model. We adjusted our strategy as it relates to the development of subsidiary start-ups and potential acquisitions for common stock. We concentrated on identifying projects that had the potential to produce significant earnings while utilizing limited capital within an expedited time period. We are prioritizing businesses that require heavy capital expenditures and intend to leverage our financing structure in order to produce the potential for accelerated earnings.

 

As a result, we formed Payless Truckers, Inc. (“Payless”), a wholly-owned subsidiary which was incorporated in the State of Nevada, on April 11, 2018. Payless is a start-up trucking company whose principal business is to acquire, refurbish, add location electronics, advertise and sell commercial vehicles to independent drivers and operators. We entered into an operating agreement with a senior management team in an effort to drive the business and better realize its earnings and growth potential. Payless is responsible for a substantial amount of our financial results, which was an intentional management objective.

 

We envision Payless as a two-segment trucking business that will be built from its current operating base in Louisiana over the first twelve months of operation. It represents a streamlined trucking company model; one we believe should survive any potential future slow-downs in the economy. It was developed to allow for the maximum utilization of each truck. The first phase of operations has already been implemented, and is described above. The second phase of the business looks to expand upon our current model to allow drivers to rent, or lease, to own our vehicles.

 

We hope to further enhance our plan for growth beginning in our second year by forming joint-ventures and/or partnerships with truck maintenance companies across the United States in key traffic hubs. This will potentially afford independent drivers and operators the opportunity to be serviced by trusted maintenance facilities under our warranty program.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of August 31, 2018, we had $60,586 in cash and cash equivalents and a working capital deficit of $1,356,563.

 

During the nine months ended August 31, 2018, net cash used in operating activities was ($45,511) compared to net cash used of ($47,027) during the same period in 2017. The nominal decrease in net cash used in operating activities is primarily attributable to the results of operations of our newly formed Payless Truckers, Inc. subsidiary. Payless acquires, refurbishes and resells commercial freight vehicles. It recorded sales of $983,321 and realized a gross margin of $130,058 during the period. Payless currently does not offer credit terms on its sales, and as such requires cash proceeds from its customers at the time of sale. Its gross margins were offset, in part, by the change in its working capital assets which created a cash use of approximately $83,000. The change in working capital assets was primarily caused by an increase in inventory of approximately $238,000, offset by an increase in trade payables and accrued liabilities of approximately $161,000.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $106,000 for the nine months ended August 31, 2018, as compared to net cash provided of $47,051 during the same period in 2017. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities is directly related to loans made to fund operations by an operating principal of our Payless subsidiary.

 

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve-month period following the date of these financial statements.

 

Financing Activities

 

We will have to raise capital by means of borrowings or through a private placement or a subsequent registered offering.  At present, we do not have any commitments with respect to future financings.  If we are unable to raise adequate capital, in the near term, to finance all phases of a client corporate consulting assignment, our proposed business will experience slow growth because it will be very hard to compete for business without a sound capital base to support advisory and implementation efforts on our suggested corporate growth strategies.

 

At present, we do have sufficient capital on hand to fund very limited operations for the immediate future.  Our logistics income continues to provide enough working capital to fund our operations. We are continually seeking to raise funds for our projects through both debt and equity measures.

 

Effective December 15, 2015, our chief executive officer, Mr. Arthur Viola, entered into a $685,000 convertible promissory note agreement with the Company in lieu of cash for prior years, unpaid compensation and forgave all other remaining unpaid amounts outstanding at that time. The note matures on December 15, 2018 and bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum. Mr. Viola has the option to convert any portion of the unpaid principal balance into the Company’s common shares at a discount to market of 50% at any time. In the event of conversion, Mr. Viola intends to reinvest any proceeds generated by his investment back into the business to fund operations or the growth of our subsidiaries.

ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods and accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

 

16

 

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and our Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) as of November 30, 2017. In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, we and our management recognize that any disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objective. As of November 30, 2017, based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, and in light of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls, the CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

 

In light of the conclusion that our internal controls over financial reporting were ineffective as of November 30, 2017, we have applied procedures and processes as necessary to ensure the reliability of our financial reporting in regards to this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, management believes, based on its knowledge, that: (i) this quarterly report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading with respect to the periods covered by this report; and (ii) the financial statements, and other financial information included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as at, and for, the periods presented in this quarterly report.

 

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected. Under the supervision of our CEO and PFO, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2017 using the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2017, we determined that control deficiencies existed that constituted material weaknesses, as described below:

 

     
  1) lack of documented policies and procedures;
  2) inadequate resources dedicated to the financial reporting function; and
  3) ineffective separation of duties due to limited staff.

 

Subject to the Company's ability to obtain financing and hire additional employees, the Company expects to be able to design and implement effective internal controls in the future that address these material weaknesses.

 

Accordingly, we concluded that these control deficiencies resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the Company's internal controls.

 

As a result of the material weaknesses described above, our CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2018 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

 

17

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended August 31, 2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
