CAVITATION TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017

 

Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Cavitation Technologies, Inc. (referred to herein, unless otherwise indicated, as "the Company," "CTi," "we," "us," and "our") is a Nevada corporation originally incorporated under the name Bio Energy, Inc. CTi has developed, patented, and commercialized proprietary technology that may be used in liquid processing applications. CTi's patented Nano Reactor® is the critical component of CTi Nano Neutralization® System which is commercially proven to reduce operating costs and increase yields in refining vegetable oils. CTi has two patented systems and has filed several national and international patents to employ its proprietary technology in applications including, vegetable oil refining, wastewater treatment, biodiesel, algae oil extraction, and alcoholic beverage enhancement.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") as promulgated in the United States of America ("U.S.") and with instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, we have included all adjustments considered necessary (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) for a fair presentation. Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2018 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019. You should read these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2018 filed on October 15, 2018. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2018 has been derived from the audited financial statements included in the Form 10-K for that year.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company incurred a net loss of $256,000 and used cash in operations of $284,000, and at September 30, 2018, had a working capital deficiency of $891,000 and a stockholders' deficit of $801,000.  These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the financial statements are issued. In addition, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s June 30, 2018 financial statements, has expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments that may result from an inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

As of September 30, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents on hand of $661,000 and are not generating sufficient revenues to fund operations. In addition to the funds on hand, management believes we may require additional funds to continue to operate our business. Management's plan is to generate income from operations by continuing to license our technology globally through our strategic partners, Desmet Ballestra Group (Desmet), GEA Westfalia, AG (GEA), and recent agreements with Alchemy Beverages, Inc.(ABI). Desmet has provided us monthly advances of $50,000 through August 2018 that was applied against gross profit share from reactor sales pursuant to a January 2016 agreement. Our agreement with Desmet expired on October 1, 2018, however, Desmet and CTi are actively pursuing to finalize a new three year term. We believe that a new license agreement with Desmet should be finalized during fiscal 2019. GEA has agreed to provide us monthly advances of $25,000 less applicable taxes through January 2020, to be applied against gross profit share from future sales pursuant to January 2017 agreement. In June 2018, we entered into two licensing agreements with ABI and anticipate to start receiving certain royalties payments and revenue stream from ABI in fiscal 2019.

 

We may also attempt to raise additional debt and/or equity financing to fund operations and provide additional working capital. However, there is no assurance that such financing will be consummated or obtained in sufficient amounts necessary to meet the Company's needs, that the Company will be able to achieve profitable operations or that the Company will be able to meet its future contractual obligations. Should management fail to obtain such financing, the Company may curtail its operations.

Principles of Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cavitation Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Hydrodynamic Technology, Inc. Inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Fair Value Measurement

 

FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820-10 requires entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized on the balance sheet for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. ASC 820-10 defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.

 

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

·Level 1 - Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access.
·Level 2 - Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
·Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable, supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

On September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates are used in reserve for inventory obsolescence, impairment analysis for fixed assets, accrual of potential liabilities, deferred tax assets and valuing our stock options, warrants, and common stock issued for services, among other items. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues from sale of reactors and the corresponding share in gross profit is recognized in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all the related amendments (“new revenue standard”) to all contracts. Sales revenue from the sale of our Nano Reactors is recognized when products are shipped from our manufacturing facilities as this is our sole performance obligation under these contracts and we have no continuing obligation to the customer. Accordingly, the Company estimates and recognizes the corresponding gross profit at the time of shipment of the Nano reactor hardware, subject to variable consideration constraints, in accordance to ASC 606.

 

Specifically, the Company has determined that the gross profit to be earned from its distributor as a variable consideration that requires estimation in determining the transaction price, and as such all or a portion can be recognized using the most likely amount approach (subject to the variable consideration constraint). Estimates are available from our distributor which are considered in the determination of the most likely amount. However, given the lack of control over the sale to the end customer and the lack of history of prior sales, the Company considered these as a variable revenue constraint that required consideration and as such, the amount of revenue recognized is being limited to the actual amount of cash received under the contract which the Company has determined as not refundable and has concluded that future revenue reversal of such amount is not probable.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board whereas the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized over the vesting period. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non- employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges generally are amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. In certain circumstances where there are no future performance requirements by the non-employee, option grants are immediately vested, and the total stock-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date.

 

 8  

 

 

The fair value of the Company's common stock options and warrants grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life of the common stock options, and future dividends. Compensation expense is recorded based upon the value derived from the Black-Scholes option pricing model and based on actual experience. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods.

 

Earnings( Loss) Per Share

 

The Company’s computation of earnings (loss) per share (EPS) includes basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Shares of restricted stock subject to vesting are included in basic weighted average common shares outstanding from the time they vest. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the net income (loss) of the Company. In computing diluted EPS, the treasury stock method assumes that outstanding options and warrants are exercised, and the proceeds are used to purchase common stock at the average market price and there were no instruments that would result in issuance of additional shares during the period.  

 

As of September 30, 2018, the Company had 11,000,000 stock options and 75,926,510 stock warrants outstanding to purchase shares of common stock that were not included in the diluted net loss per common share because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to record a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Targeted Improvements, which allows for a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period the new lease standard is adopted and will not require restatement of prior periods. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 and ASU 2018-11 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments (Subtopic 825-10) - Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU 2016-01 provides guidance on how entities measure certain equity investments and present changes in the fair value. This standard requires that entities measure certain equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2017. The Company adopted the guidance of ASU No. 2016-01 on July 1, 2018 and there was no effect to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 2 - Agreement with Distributors

 

Desmet Ballestra Agreement

 

On January 22, 2016, the Company signed a three-year agreement with Desmet for the sale and marketing of the Company’s Nano reactor system. As part of the agreement, Desmet provided, under certain conditions, limited monthly advance payments of $50,000 against future gross profit share to CTi through August 2018. The agreement expired on October 1, 2018 and Desmet and CTi are working on a new three year licensing agreement which we estimated will be finalized during fiscal 2019.

The Company recognizes revenue from sale of reactors upon shipment and acceptance by Desmet, as the Company has no further obligations to Desmet other than the reactor’s two-year standard warranty. In addition, Desmet pays for such reactors on credit terms and the amount of the sale is recorded as a receivable upon acceptance by Desmet. The Company also receives a share in gross margin or profit from the sale of Desmet’s integrated neutralization system to its customer of which the reactors are an integral component, however, such amount is subject to adjustment based on certain factors including costs over run. The Company recognizes the gross profit at the time of shipment of the Nano reactor hardware in accordance to ASC 606 as such shipment is deemed to be the only performance obligation and the Company has no more continuing obligation to Desmet. In addition, the Company has no control with regards to the sale and installation of Nano Neutralization System, between our distributor and the end customer. The Company has determined that the gross profit to be earned from Desmet as a variable consideration that requires estimation in determining the transaction price, and as such all or a portion can be recognized using the most likely amount approach (subject to the variable consideration constraint). Estimates are available from Desmet which are considered in the determination of the most likely amount. However, given the lack of control over the sale to the end customer and the lack of history of prior sales, the Company considered these as a variable revenue constraint that required consideration. Thus, the amount of revenue recognized is being limited to the actual amount of cash received under the contract which the Company has determined as not refundable and preclude any probable of future revenue reversal. Further, Company has been able to develop an expectation of the actual collection based on its historical experience.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized revenue of $55,000 and $340,000, respectively, related to the shipment and acceptance of reactors to Desmet.

 

GEA Westfalia Agreement

 

In January 2017 we entered into a global technology license, R&D and marketing agreement with respect to our patented Nano Reactor™ technology, processes and applications. Under the agreement, GEA has been granted a worldwide exclusive license to integrate our patented technology into water treatment application, milk and juice pasteurization, and certain food related processes. The license agreement between us and GEA has a three-year term and provides for the payment of $300,000 per year in advanced license fees or share in gross margin or profit to us.

 

Revenues from sale of reactors and share in gross profit is being recognized in accordance with current accounting guidelines as previously discussed in the Desmet Ballestra Agreement.

 

As of June 30, 2018, outstanding advances from GEA to be applied to share in gross profit in future period amounted to $427,000. During the period ended September 30, 2018, we received additional advances totaling $50,000 from GEA. As of September 30, 2018, outstanding advance from GEA amounted to $477,000.

 

There were no reactor sales or gross profit or margin revenue recognized during the period ended September 30, 2018.

 

Alchemy Beverages, Inc. Agreement

 

In June 2018, the Company entered into licensing agreements with Alchemy Beverages Inc. (ABI). Pursuant to the licensing agreements, ABI has the exclusive global distribution rights for the Company’s patented and patent pending technology for the processing of alcoholic beverages. The Company has agreed to assist in the installation and maintenance of the nano reactor systems for ABI and will receive royalty payments ranging from 1% to 3% on all net revenues, as defined, of ABI for the life of the applicable patents. In addition, the Company will receive leasing, consulting, and manufacturing fees as defined. In addition, on a future transaction involving the sale of ABI, the Company will receive approximately 10% of the transaction price (with a minimum of $5 million) and in the event ABI becomes a public entity, the Company will receive approximately 10% of ABI’s shares. There was no revenue recognized during the period ended September 30, 2018 pursuant to these agreements.

 

At September 30, 2018, the Company owns 19.9% of ABI. The investment in ABI has no value assigned to it, which approximates its fair value.

Note 4 - Commitments and Contingencies

 

Royalty Agreements

 

On July 1, 2008, our wholly owned subsidiary entered into Patent Assignment Agreements with two parties, our President and Technology Development Supervisor, where certain devices and methods involved in the hydrodynamic cavitation processes invented by the President and the Technology Development Supervisor have been assigned to the Subsidiary.  In exchange, the Subsidiary agreed to pay a royalty of 5% of gross revenues to each of the President and Technology Development Supervisor for licensing of the technology and leasing of the related equipment embodying the technology. These agreements were subsequently assumed by Cavitation Technologies on May 13, 2010 from its subsidiary. The Company's President and Global Technology Manager both waived their rights to receive royalty payments that have accrued, or that may accrue, on any gross revenue generated through September 30, 2018.

 

On April 30, 2008 and as amended on November 22, 2010, our wholly owned subsidiary entered into an employment agreement with our former Director of Chemical and Analytical Department (the "Inventor") to receive an amount equal to 5% of actual gross royalties received from the royalty stream in the first year in which the Company receives royalty payments from the patent which the Inventor was the legally named inventor, and 3% of actual gross royalties received by the Company resulting from the patent in each subsequent year. As of September 30, 2018, no patents have been granted in which this person is the legally named inventor.

ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as its plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Its actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

 

Overview of our Business

 

Cavitation Technologies, Inc. ("CTi"), a Nevada corporation, was originally incorporated under the name Bio Energy, Inc. We design and engineer environmentally friendly technology-based systems that are designed to serve large, growing, global markets such as vegetable oil refining, renewable fuels, water treatment, algae oil extraction, biodiesel production, water-oil emulsions and crude oil yield enhancement.  Our systems are designed to process industrial liquids at a lower cost and higher yield than conventional technology. We are a process and product development firm that has developed, patented, and commercialized proprietary technology.

 

CTi has developed, patented, and commercialized proprietary technology that can be used for processing of industrial fluids. CTi's patented Nano Reactor® is the critical components of the CTi Nano Neutralization® System which is commercially proven to reduce operating costs and increase yields in processing oils and fats. CTi has two issued patents relating to our Nano Reactor® systems and has filed several national and international patents to employ its proprietary technology in applications including, vegetable oil refining, biodiesel production, waste water treatment, algae oil extraction, and alcoholic beverage enhancement.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded revenue of $55,000 and incurred a net loss of $256,000.

 

Management's Plan

 

We are engaged in manufacturing our Neutralization System, which is designed to help refine vegetable oils such as soybean, canola, sunflower and rapeseed.  Our near-term goal is to continue to sell our systems through our partners, Desmet Ballestra and GEA. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded revenues of $55,000 and incurred a net loss of $256,000.  As of September 30, 2018, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $891,000 and a stockholders' deficit of $801,000. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.

 

As of September 30, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents on hand of $661,000 and are not generating sufficient revenues to fund operations. In addition to the funds on hand, Management believes we may require additional funds to continue to operate our business. Management's plan is to generate income from operations by continuing to market our technology and products globally through our strategic partner, Desmet Ballestra and GEA Group. Further, we believe our business development with Alchemy Beverages, Inc may start generating revenues in our Fiscal 2019.

 

Desmet had provided monthly advances of $50,000 while GEA is providing monthly advances of $25,000, however, we anticipate that we may need additional funding, and we may attempt to raise additional debt and/or equity financing to fund operations and to provide additional working capital. However, there is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining such financing will be or obtained sufficient amounts necessary to meet our business needs, or that we will be able to meet our future contractual obligations.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues from sale of reactors and the corresponding share in gross profit is recognized in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all the related amendments (“new revenue standard”) to all contracts. Sales revenue from the sale of our Nano Reactors is recognized when products are shipped from our manufacturing facilities as this is our sole performance obligation under these contracts and we have no continuing obligation to the customer. Accordingly, the Company estimates and recognizes the corresponding gross profit at the time of shipment of the Nano reactor hardware, subject to variable consideration constraints, in accordance to ASC 606.

 

Specifically, the Company has determined that the gross profit to be earned from its distributor as a variable consideration that requires estimation in determining the transaction price, and as such all or a portion can be recognized using the most likely amount approach (subject to the variable consideration constraint). Estimates are available from our distributor which are considered in the determination of the most likely amount. However, given the lack of control over the sale to the end customer and the lack of history of prior sales, the Company considered these as a variable revenue constraint that required consideration and as such, the amount of revenue recognized is being limited to the actual amount of cash received under the contract which the Company has determined as not refundable and has concluded that future revenue reversal of such amount is not probable.

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board whereas the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized over the vesting period. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non- employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges generally are amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. In certain circumstances where there are no future performance requirements by the non-employee, option grants are immediately vested, and the total stock-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date.

 

The fair value of the Company's common stock options and warrants grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life of the common stock options, and future dividends. Compensation expense is recorded based upon the value derived from the Black-Scholes option pricing model and based on actual experience. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods.

Revenue

 

The Company generates revenues from the sale of the Nano Reactor® to customers/distributor as well as share in gross profit from the sale of such reactors by our distributors to their customers.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized revenues of $55,000 from sale of reactors to Desmet pursuant to one purchase order. There was no revenues recognized attributable from our share in gross profit.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized revenues of $240,000 from sale of reactors to Desmet pursuant to two purchase orders. In addition, the Company also recognized the corresponding gross profit of $100,000.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, our cost of sales amounted to $5,000, and to $19,000 during the same period in prior year, which was the result of the revenue transactions described above.

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2018 amounted to $306,000 compared with $463,000 for the same period in 2017, a decrease of $157,000, or 34%. The decrease in operating expenses was due to decrease in legal expenses as a result of a settlement of litigation with a former employee in March 2018. In addition, other professional fees also decreased due to decrease in the services rendered.

 

Research and development (R&D) expenses remained relatively low as we continued to rely on Desmet and GEA for support in R&D and development of new applications for our technology. It is our intention to pursue R&D as our cash position permits.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company incurred a net loss of $256,000 and used cash in operations of $284,000, and at September 30, 2018, had a working capital deficiency of $891,000 and a stockholders' deficit of $801,000. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the financial statements are issued. In addition, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s June 30, 2018 financial statements, has expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

As of September 30, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents on hand of $661,000 and are not generating sufficient revenues to fund operations. In addition to the funds on hand, management believes we may require additional funds to continue to operate our business. Management's plan is to generate income from operations by continuing to license our technology globally through our strategic partners, Desmet Ballestra Group (Desmet), GEA Westfalia, AG (GEA), and recent agreements with Alchemy Beverages, Inc.(ABI). Desmet has provided us monthly advances of $50,000 through August 2018 that was applied against gross profit share from reactor sales pursuant to a January 2016 agreement. Our agreement with Desmet expired on October 1, 2018, however, Desmet and CTi are actively pursuing to finalize a new three-year term. We believe that a new license agreement with Desmet should be finalized during fiscal 2019. GEA has agreed to provide us monthly advances of $25,000 less applicable taxes through January 2020, to be applied against gross profit share from future sales pursuant to January 2017 agreement. In June 2018, we entered into two licensing agreements with ABI and anticipate to start receiving certain royalties payments and revenue stream from ABI in fiscal 2019.

 

We may also attempt to raise additional debt and/or equity financing to fund operations and provide additional working capital. However, there is no assurance that such financing will be consummated or obtained in sufficient amounts necessary to meet the Company's needs, that the Company will be able to achieve profitable operations or that the Company will be able to meet its future contractual obligations. Should management fail to obtain such financing, the Company may curtail its operations.

ITEM 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

In accordance with rule 13a-15(a), CTi management must maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) and (c), management must also evaluate the effectiveness of these disclosure control and procedures at the end of each fiscal year. As of September 30, 2018, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2018.
