NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Thirty-Nine Weeks ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION

 

Giggles N’ Hugs, Inc. (“GIGL Inc.” or the “Company”) was originally organized on September 17, 2004 under the laws of the State of Nevada, as Teacher’s Pet, Inc. GIGL Inc. was organized to sell teaching supplies and learning tools. On August 20, 2010, GIGL Inc. filed an amendment to its articles of incorporation to change its name to Giggles N’ Hugs, Inc.

 

On December 30, 2011, GIGL Inc. completed the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding shares of GNH, Inc. (“GNH”), a Nevada corporation, pursuant to a Stock Exchange Agreement. For accounting purposes, the acquisition of GNH by GIGL Inc. has been recorded as a reverse merger. Giggles N Hugs restaurant concept brings together high-end, organic food with the play elements and entertainment for children. Giggles N Hugs offers an upscale, family-friendly atmosphere with a play area dedicated to children ages 10 and younger with nightly entertainment, such as magic shows, concerts, puppet shows, as well as activities and games which include face painting, dance parties, karaoke, and arts and crafts,

 

The Company adopted a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to December 31st for financial reporting purposes. Fiscal year 2018 and 2017 consists of a year ending December 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

 

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The interim financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in US Dollars, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

 

These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2017 and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date, but does not included all disclosures, including notes, required by GAAP.

 

Results of operations for the interim periods may not be indicative of annual results.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

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. As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, during the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2018, the Company incurred a net loss of $547,041, used cash in operations of $616,824, and had a stockholders’ deficit of $1,808,838 as of that date. In addition, the note payable to the Company’s landlord was in default. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional funds and implement its business plan. In addition, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm in its report on the December 31, 2017 financial statements has raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date that the financial statements are issued. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company had cash on hand in the amount of $103,267 as of September 30, 2018. Management estimates that the current funds on hand will be sufficient to continue operations through December 2018. Management is currently seeking additional funds, primarily through the issuance of debt and equity securities for cash to operate our business. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company can obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stock holders, in case or equity financing.

 

Principles of consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Giggles N Hugs, Inc., GNH, Inc., GNH CC, Inc. for restaurant operations in Westfield Mall in Century City, California (which was closed June 30, 2016 due to a complete remodel of the Mall), GNH Topanga, Inc. for restaurant operations in Westfield Topanga Shopping Center in Woodland Hills, California, and Glendale Giggles N Hugs, Inc. for restaurant operations in Glendale Galleria in Glendale, California. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Giggles N Hugs, Inc., GNH, Inc., GNH CC, Inc., GNH Topanga, Inc., and Glendale Giggles N Hugs, Inc. will be collectively referred herein to as the “Company”.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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. Estimates and assumptions used by management including assumptions made in impairment analysis of fixed assets, accruals of potential liabilities, valuation of derivative liabilities and equity securities issued for services and realization of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Revenue

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), (ASC 606). The underlying principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at the amount expected to be collected. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contract(s), which includes (1) identifying the contract(s) or agreement(s) with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied.

 

Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied, which occurs for the Company upon shipment or delivery of products or services to our customers based on written sales terms, which is also when control is transferred. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring the products or services to a customer.

 

The Company adopted the guidance of ASC 606 on January 1, 2018. The implementation of ASC 606 had no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements and no cumulative effect adjustment was recognized.

 

Loss per common share

 

Net loss per share is provided in accordance with ASC Subtopic 260-10. We present basic loss per share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS on the face of statements of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing reported losses by the weighted average shares outstanding. Except where the result would be anti-dilutive to income from continuing operations, diluted earnings per share has been computed assuming the conversion of the convertible long-term debt and the elimination of the related interest expense, and the exercise of stock options and warrants. Loss per common share has been computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. For the period ended September 30, 2018, the assumed conversion of convertible notes payable and the exercise of 19,967,917 stock warrants, and 115,000 options to acquire shares of common stock are anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net losses and are excluded in determining diluted loss per share.

 

 F-7 
 

 

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Stock-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 (FASB) 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 stock option and warrant grants 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 stock options or warrants, 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.

 

The Company also issues restricted shares of its common stock for share-based compensation programs to employees and non-employees. The Company measures the compensation cost with respect to restricted shares to employees based upon the estimated fair value at the date of the grant, and is recognized as expense over the period, which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. For non-employees, the Company measures the compensation cost with respect to restricted shares based upon the estimated fair value at the measurement date which is 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.

 

Recent Accounting Standards

 

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. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures, and believes the adoption of the pronouncement will result in the recording of lease assets and lease liabilities of approximately $1,500,000 to our balance sheet upon adoption.

 

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 4 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

Property and equipment consisted of the following at:

 

   September 30, 2018   December 31, 2017 
Leasehold improvements  $1,889,027   $1,889,027 
Fixtures and equipment   60,310    60,310 
Computer software and equipment   267,372    267,372 
Property and equipment, total   2,216,709    2,216,709 
Less: accumulated depreciation   (1,652,881)   (1,476,520)
Property and equipment, net  $563,828   $740,189 

 

Depreciation and amortization expense for the thirteen weeks and thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2018 were $56,211 and $176,361, respectively, and for the thirteen weeks and thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2017 were $64,205 and $192,342, respectively. Repair and maintenance expense for the thirteen weeks and thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2018 were $15,528.19 and $46,046, respectively, and for thirteen weeks and thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2017 were $15,071 and $48,851, respectively,

 

Management assesses the carrying value of property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If there is indication of impairment, management prepares an estimate of future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value. For the periods ended September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there were no indications of further impairment based on management’s assessment of these assets.

NOTE 5 – NOTE PAYABLE FROM LESSOR – In Default

 

On February 12, 2013, the Company entered into a $700,000 Promissory Note Payable Agreement with GGP Limited Partnership (“Lender”) to be used by the Company for a portion of the construction work to be performed by the Company under the lease by and between the Company and Glendale II Mall Associates. On March 1, 2015, the Company and the lender renegotiated the terms of the Promissory Note and agreed to a new note with a principal balance due of $683,316. As part of the new agreement, the Lender waived principal and interest payments for two years beginning March 1, 2015.

 

On August 12, 2016 the Company entered into a third amendment on its lease at The Glendale Galleria. The amendment covered several areas, including adjustment to percentage rent payable, reduced the minimum rent payable, along with the payment and principal of Promissory Note. The Promissory Note was adjusted to a balance due of $763,261 from $683,316, with no interest, payable in equal monthly instalments of $5,300 through maturity of Note on May 31, 2028. The Company imputed interest using a discount rate of 10% to determine a fair value of the note of $443,521. As of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2018 the balance of note payable net of unamortized note discount $422,361 and $420,881 respectively.

 

The lender under the Note is GGP Limited Partnership (GGP). GGP is an affiliate of Glendale II Mall Associates, the lessor of the Company’s Glendale Mall restaurant location. In accordance with the note agreement, an event of default would occur if the Borrower defaults under the lease between the Company and Glendale II Mall Associates. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the entire balance of the Note payable and accrued interest would become due and payable, and the balance due becomes subject to a default interest rate (which is 5% higher than the defined interest rate). As of September 30, 2018, the Company was delinquent in its payments to GGP under the note, and as such, the Note has been reflected as currently due and disclosed as in default.

NOTE 9 – LEASES

 

The Company currently leases its restaurant locations. The Company evaluates each lease to determine its appropriate classification as an operating or capital lease for financial reporting purposes.

 

Minimum base rent for the Company’s operating leases, which generally have escalating rentals over the term of the lease, is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The initial rent term includes the build-out, or rent holiday period, for the Company’s leases, where no rent payments are typically due under the terms of the lease. Deferred rent liabilities are recorded to the extent it exceeds minimum base rent per the lease agreement. Rent expense for the Company’s restaurant operating leases was $88,468 and $84,773 for the thirteen weeks ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017, respectively, and $263,774 and $255,738 for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017.

The Company disburses cash for leasehold improvements and furniture, fixtures and equipment to build out and equip its leased premises. The Company also expends cash for structural additions that it makes to leased premises of which $506,271 and $475,000 were initially reimbursed Topanga and Glendale by its landlords, respectively, as construction contributions pursuant to agreed-upon terms in the lease agreements. Landlord construction contributions usually take the form of up-front cash. Depending on the specifics of the leased space and the lease agreement, amounts paid for structural components are recorded during the construction period as leasehold improvements or the landlord construction contributions are recorded as an incentive from lessor.

 

On August 12, 2016 the Company entered into a third amendment on its lease at The Glendale Galleria. The amendment covered several areas, including adjustment to percentage rent payable, reduced the minimum rent payable and payment and principal of the Promissory Note payable to GGP. The Promissory Note was adjusted to a balance due of $763,262 from $683,316, with zero percent interest, payable in equal monthly instalments of $5,300 through maturity of Note on May 31, 2028, creating a gain on extinguishment of the old note of $220,686. (see Note 5). The change in the payment terms of the lease caused a change in the previously calculated deferred rent of $69,614. For reporting purposes, the Company determined that since the GGP Promissory Note and the related revision of the lease were agreed to at the same time, that the change in the lease payment terms and the reduced rent, and the issuance of the new note are directly related. In addition, past due rent of $164,987 was forgiven. As such the gain on the termination of the note of $220,686, the adjustment to the deferred rent in the aggregate amount of $69,614, and the forgiveness of past due rent of $164,987, resulting in an aggregate gain of $455,287 had been deferred, and is being amortized on the straight-line basis over the remaining life of the lease as an adjustment to rent expense. The balance of the deferred gain was $401,260 as of, December 31, 2017.

 

During the period ended September 30, 2018, $51,591 of deferred gain was amortized and offset to rent expense, resulting in a remaining deferred gain balance of $349,674 as of September 30, 2018 which will be amortized as an offset to rent expense over the remainder of the lease.

 

The balance of the incentive from lessor as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, were $577,376 and $653,007, and included deferred rent of $134,573 and $132,818, respectively. As of September 30, 2018, $113,605 of the incentive from lessor was current and $463,771 was long term. Amortization of the incentive from lessor was $25,755 and $22,059 for the thirteen weeks ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017, respectively, and $75,632 and $64,602 for thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017, respectively.

Going Concern and Liquidity

 

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. As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, during the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2018, the Company incurred a net loss of $547,041, and $616,824 of cash used in operations, and had a stockholders’ deficit of $1,808,838 as of that date. In addition, the note payable to the Company’s landlord was in default. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date that the financial statements are issued. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional funds and implement its business plan. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm in its report on the December 31, 2017 financial statements has raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

At September 30, 2018, the Company had cash on hand in the amount of $103,267. Management estimates that the current funds on hand would be sufficient to continue operations through December 2018. Management is currently seeking additional funds through sponsorships and promotions to operate our business. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stock holders, in case or equity financing.

 

Notes Payable

 

On February 12, 2013, the Company entered into a $700,000 Promissory Note Payable Agreement with GGP Limited Partnership (“Lender”) to be used by the Company for a portion of the construction work to be performed by the Company under the lease by and between the Company and Glendale II Mall Associates, LLC. The Note Payable accrued interest at a rate of 10% through October 15, 2015, 12% through October 31, 2017, and 15% through October 31, 2023 and matures on October 31, 2023.

 

On March 1, 2015, the Company and the lender renegotiated the terms of the Promissory Note and agreed to a new note with a principal balance due of $683,316. As part of the new agreement, the Lender waived principal and interest payments for two years beginning March 1, 2015.

 

On August 12, 2016, the Company entered into a third amendment on its lease at The Glendale Galleria. The amendment covered several areas, including adjustment to percentage rent payable, reduced the minimum rent payable, along with the payment and principal of Promissory Note. The Promissory Note was adjusted to a balance due of $763,261.57 from $683,316, with zero percent interest, payable in equal monthly instalments of $5,300 through maturity of Note on May 31, 2028. The Company imputed interest using a discount rate of 10% to determine a fair value of the note of $443,521, resulting in a valuation discount of $319,740. As of September 30, 2018, the balance of note payable was $690,968, and unamortized note discount was $270,087, with a net balance due of $420,881.

 

The lender under the Note is GGP Limited Partnership (GGP). GGP is an affiliate of Glendale II Mall Associates, the lessor of the Company’s Glendale Mall restaurant location. In accordance with the note agreement, an event of default would occur if the Borrower defaults under the lease between the Company and Glendale II Mall Associates. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the entire balance of the Note payable and accrued interest would become due and payable, and the balance due becomes subject to a default interest rate (which is 5% higher than the defined interest rate).

 

Convertible Notes Payable

 

On August 24, 2015, the Company entered into an unsecured Note Payable Agreement with an investor for which the Company issued a $50,000 Convertible Note Payable, which accrues interest at a rate of 5% per annum and matures on August 31, 2016. The Lender may also convert all or a portion of the Note Payable at any time into shares of common stock at a price of $0.10 per share.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

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 the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, impairment analyses, accounting for contingencies and equity instruments issued for services. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The following critical accounting policies are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions, and estimates used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

Our management regularly reviews property, equipment and other long-lived assets, including identifiable amortizing intangibles, for possible impairment. This review occurs quarterly or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If there is indication of impairment of property and equipment or amortizable intangible assets, then management prepares an estimate of future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value. The fair value is estimated at the present value of the future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with management’s estimates of the business risks. Quarterly, or earlier, if there is indication of impairment of identified intangible assets not subject to amortization, management compares the estimated fair value with the carrying amount of the asset. An impairment loss is recognized to write down the intangible asset to its fair value if it is less than the carrying amount. Preparation of estimated expected future cash flows is inherently subjective and is based on management’s best estimate of assumptions concerning expected future conditions.

 

Management believes that the accounting estimate related to impairment of our long lived assets, including our trademark license and trademarks, is a “critical accounting estimate” because: (1) it is highly susceptible to change from period to period because it requires management to estimate fair value, which is based on assumptions about cash flows and discount rates; and (2) the impact that recognizing an impairment would have on the assets reported on our balance sheet, as well as net income, could be material. Management’s assumptions about cash flows and discount rates require significant judgment because actual revenues and expenses have fluctuated in the past and we expect they will continue to do so.

Stock-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 option grants 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.

 

The Company also issues restricted shares of its common stock for share-based compensation programs to employees and non-employees. The Company measures the compensation cost with respect to restricted shares to employees based upon the estimated fair value at the date of the grant, and is recognized as expense over the period, which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. For non-employees, the Company measures the compensation cost with respect to restricted shares based upon the estimated fair value at the measurement date which is 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.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

 

Without sufficient cash flow from operations we will require additional cash resources, including the sale of equity or debt securities, to meet our planned capital expenditures and working capital requirements for the next 12 months. We will require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions to implement of our strategy to successfully expand our operations. If our own financial resources and then-current cash-flows from operations are insufficient to satisfy our capital requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity securities will result in dilution to our existing stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness will result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that could restrict our operations or modify our plans to grow the business. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, will limit our ability to expand our business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, Joey Parsi, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on his evaluation, he concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not designed at a reasonable assurance level and are not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affected, the Company’s internal control over the financial reporting.

 

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

 

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
