CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are intended to be covered by the “safe harbor” created by those sections. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terms such as “believe,” “expect,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “seek,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,” “project,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “strategy,” “future,” “likely” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or other comparable terminology. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this Quarterly Report regarding our strategies, prospects, financial condition, operations, costs, plans and objectives are forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make regarding: expectations for revenues, cash flows and financial performance and the anticipated results of our ongoing development and business strategies.

 

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

  · our history of, and expectation of future, losses;

 

  · our limited operating history;

 

  · the success of our growth strategy;

 

  · our ability to generate revenue or achieve profitability;

 

  · our ability to identify and successfully integrate acquisitions;

 

  · our ability to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, if at all;

 

  · our ability to attract and retain key personnel, including our strategic operating partners;

 

  · general business, financial market and economic conditions;

 

  · the impact on our business and the overall economy of public health epidemics, including the recent coronavirus pandemic;

 

  · competition in the markets in which we operate;

 

  · seasonality of our operating businesses and the impact of weather conditions;

 

  · costs of raw materials, fuel prices and wages;

 

  · product shortages, loss of key suppliers, failure to develop relationships with qualified suppliers or dependence on third-party suppliers and manufacturers;

 

  · fluctuations in new commercial and residential construction and housing sectors;

 

  · our ability to attract, retain and maintain positive relations with our employees;

 

  · compliance with government regulations;

 

  · the marketability of our Class A Common Stock;

 

  · the volatility of the price of our Class A Common Stock;

 

  · public company costs; and

 

  · our lack of effective internal controls.

 

Any forward-looking statement made by us in this report is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

Notes to the Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1 – Nature of the Business

 

Andover National Corporation, (the “Company” or “Successor”) was organized in the State of Utah on July 11, 2007, and reincorporated on March 20, 2014. Effective February 14, 2019, the Company completed a change of domicile to Delaware from Utah (the “Reincorporation”) by means of a merger of the Company with and into the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Andover National Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Andover”).

 

On October 4, 2019, Andover Environmental Solutions, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Heath L. Legg, pursuant to which Andover Environmental Solutions, LLC purchased sixty percent (60%) of the membership interests of ANC Green Solutions I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, for $4.0 million, subject to certain adjustments (the “Business Combination”).

 

ANC Green Solutions I, LLC, formerly known as Legg Holdings, Inc. (“ANC Green Solutions I” or “Legg”), is an operator and franchisor of commercial and residential landscaping, lawn care and pest control services, operating under the commercial trade name Superior Services. ANC Green Solution I’s core service offerings provide residential homeowners and commercial customers with year-round monitoring and treatment by focusing on weed and insect control, irrigation, seeding, fertilization, general landscape maintenance and installation services. Additionally, ANC Green Solutions I is a master franchisor for outdoor insect control service businesses operating independently throughout the United States.

 

On February 3, 2020, ANC Green Solutions- Potter’s, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“ANC Potter’s”), entered into an Asset Purchase and Contribution Agreement with Potter’s Professional Lawn Care, Inc, and its shareholders, pursuant to which ANC Potter’s purchased a sixty (60%) interest in Potter’s Professional Lawncare, Inc.’s property and assets, for $1.68 million, subject to certain adjustments.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the period ended December 31, 2019 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”) filed with the SEC on March 30, 2020. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods presented reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. The Company’s actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

ANDOVER NATIONAL CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

 

As a result of the Business Combination, the Company is the acquirer for accounting purposes and ANC Green Solutions I is the acquiree and accounting predecessor. The Company’s financial statement presentation distinguishes the Company’s financial performance into two distinct periods, the period up to the closing date of the Business Combination (labeled “Predecessor”) and the period including and after that date (labeled “Successor”).

 

The Business Combination was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, and the Successor financial statements reflect a new basis of accounting that is based on the fair value of the net assets acquired. Determining the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is judgmental in nature and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. See Note 4 – Business Combinations for a discussion of the estimated fair values of assets and liabilities recorded in connection with the Company’s acquisition of ANC Green Solutions I.

 

As a result of the application of the acquisition method of accounting as of the closing date of the Business Combination, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include a black line division which indicates that the Predecessor and Successor reporting entities shown are presented on a different basis and are therefore, not comparable.

 

The historical financial information of the Company prior to the Business Combination has not been reflected in the Predecessor financial statements as these historical amounts have been determined to be not useful information to a reader of the financial statements. The operations of the Company, until the closing of a business combination, other than income from investments and general and administrative expenses, were nominal. Accordingly, no other activity in the Company was reported for periods prior to October 4, 2019 besides ANC Green Solutions I’s’ operations as Predecessor.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Management makes estimates that affect certain accounts including deferred income tax assets, accrued expenses, fair value of equity instruments and reserves for any other commitments or contingencies. Any adjustments applied to estimates are recognized in the period in which such adjustments are determined.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The Company’s policy is to consolidate all entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. For consolidated entities that are less than wholly owned, the third party’s holding of equity interest is presented as noncontrolling interests in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statement of equity and redeemable noncontrolling interest. The portion of net income (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interests is presented as net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

 

The accompanying Successor unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Andover National Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, ANC Green Solutions I, ANC Potter’s and ANC Smith’s. The accompanying Predecessor consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ANC Green Solutions I and its consolidated subsidiaries, Legg Lawncare, Inc. and Legg SMS Franchising, Inc.

 

All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The Company classifies noncontrolling interests that contain an option of the noncontrolling shareholders to require the Company to purchase their interest as redeemable noncontrolling interests within mezzanine equity on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

 

Concentration and credit risk

 

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and periodically evaluates the credit worthiness of the financial institutions and has determined the credit exposure to be negligible.

 

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are limited due to the number of customers comprising the customer base. No customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company reserves for all accounts that are deemed to be uncollectible and reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts regularly. The allowance is based on the age of receivables and a specific identification of receivables considered at risk. Account balances are written off against the allowance when the potential for recovery is considered remote.

 

The following table provides a roll forward of the allowance for doubtful accounts:

 

   Successor   Predecessor 
   Three Months Ended   Three Months Ended 
   March 31,   March 31, 
   2020   2019 
Allowance for doubtful accounts, beginning of period  $2,467   $34,976 
Bad debt expense   24,411    - 
Allowance for doubtful accounts, end of period  $26,878   $34,976 

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment, stated at cost, are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, or for leasehold improvements, over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the lease term. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the estimated useful lives (in years) of each of the Company’s classes of property and equipment were as follows:

 

   Useful Lives
(in years)
Vehicles  5-10
Equipment   5-7
Buildings  15
Leasehold improvements  5
Office equipment   5-7

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value measurements are based on the premise that fair value is an exit price representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the following three-tier fair value hierarchy has been used in determining the inputs used in measuring fair value:

 

Level 1- Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities on the reporting date.

 

Level 2- Pricing inputs are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3- Pricing inputs are generally unobservable and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require management’s judgment or estimation of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. The fair values are therefore determined using factors that involve considerable judgment and interpretations, including but not limited to private and public comparables, third-party appraisals, discounted cash flow models and fund manager estimates.

Notes to the Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Management’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on estimated fair values. Accordingly, the fair value estimates disclosed or initial amounts recorded may not be indicative of the amount that the Company or holders of the instruments could realize in a current market exchange.

 

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the recorded values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable, approximate the fair values due to the short-term nature of the instruments.

 

Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments- Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). This guidance introduces a new model for recognizing credit losses on financial instruments based on an estimate of current expected credit losses. ASU 2016-13 also provides updated guidance regarding the impairment of available-for-sale debt securities and includes additional disclosure requirements. The new guidance is effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a Smaller Reporting Company as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Note 3 Revenue

 

The following table presents the Company’s revenue disaggregated by source:

 

   Successor   Predecessor 
   Three Months Ended   Three Months Ended 
   March 31,   March 31, 
   2020   2019 
Lawn and tree care service revenue  $1,229,680   $606,403 
Franchise revenue   14,700    25,800 
Total revenue  $1,244,380   $632,203 

 

The Company’s revenue is primarily generated from residential and commercial lawn care programs and services, which includes lawncare, landscaping and hardscaping, irrigation, and mosquito, termite and pest control services and from tree care services, which includes tree trimming service, tree removal, stump grinding, mulching, logging and related services. The Company generally recognizes revenue from the sale of services as the services are performed, which is typically ratably over the term of the contract(s), which the Company believes to be the best measure of progress. The Company recognizes revenues as it completes services to its customers in an amount reflecting the total consideration it expects to receive from the customer.

 

Payment terms vary by customer, but payments are generally due at the point of service. The Company incurs certain direct incremental costs to obtain contracts with customers, such as sales-related commissions, where the recognition period for the related revenue is less than one years. These costs are expensed as incurred and recorded with in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of operations.

 

The Company also grants franchises to operators in exchange for an initial franchise license fee and continuing royalty payments. Franchise revenue is recognized over the license term as the Company has determined that all obligations under the franchise agreements represent a single performance obligation that is satisfied over time.

Diluted earnings (loss) per share includes the effect, if any, from the potential exercise or conversion of securities, such as warrants, stock options and restricted stock units, that would result in the issuance of incremental shares of common stock. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 , the earnings per share amounts are the same for Class A Common and Class B Common stock because the holders of each class are legally entitled to equal per share distributions whether through dividends or in liquidation. The calculations of basic and diluted income (loss) per common share are as follows:

This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that are based on our management’s current beliefs and assumptions, which statements are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors. Please also see “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements” at the beginning of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Overview

 

We were organized in the State of Utah on July 11, 2007, and reincorporated on March 20, 2014. Effective February 14, 2019, we completed a change of domicile to Delaware from Utah (the “Reincorporation”) by means of a merger of us with and into our wholly-owned subsidiary, Andover National Corporation, a Delaware corporation.

 

On October 4, 2019, Andover Environmental Solutions, LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Heath L. Legg, pursuant to which Andover Environmental Solutions, LLC purchased sixty percent (60%) of the membership interests of ANC Green Solutions I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, for $4.0 million , subject to certain adjustments (the “Business Combination”).

 

ANC Green Solutions I, LLC, formerly known as Legg Holdings, Inc. (“ANC Green Solutions I” or “Legg”), is an operator and franchisor of commercial and residential landscaping, lawn care and pest control services, operating under the commercial trade name Superior Services. ANC Green Solution I’s core service offerings provide residential homeowners and commercial customers with year-round monitoring and treatment by focusing on weed and insect control, irrigation, seeding, fertilization, general landscape maintenance and installation services. Additionally, ANC Green Solutions I is a master franchisor for outdoor insect control service businesses operating independently throughout the United States.

 

On February 3, 2020, ANC Green Solutions- Potter’s, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“ANC Potter’s”), entered into an Asset Purchase and Contribution Agreement with Potter’s Professional Lawn Care, Inc, and its shareholders, pursuant to which ANC Potter’s purchased a sixty (60%) interest in Potter’s Professional Lawncare, Inc.’s property and assets, for $1.68 million, subject to certain adjustments.

Recent Developments

 

COVID-19-Related Considerations

 

The COVID-19 outbreak, which surfaced in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and which was subsequently declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020, has had a pronounced effect on the domestic and global economies. Although our business has not been materially adversely impacted by the recent COVID-19 outbreak to date, it may be materially adversely impacted in the future. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our business, financial results, liquidity and cash flows will depend largely on future developments, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity and action taken to contain or prevent further spread within the U.S. and the related impact on consumer confidence and spending, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

 

Results of Operations

 

As a result of the Business Combination, we are the acquirer for accounting purposes and ANC Green Solutions I is the acquiree and accounting predecessor. Our financial statement presentation distinguishes our financial performance into two distinct periods, the period up to the closing date of the Business Combination (labeled “Predecessor”) and the period including and after that date (labeled “Successor”).

 

17

 

 

Our historical financial information prior to the Business Combination has not been reflected in the Predecessor financial statements as these historical amounts have been determined to be not useful information to a reader of the financial statements. Our operations, until the closing of the Business Combination, other than income from investments and general and administrative expenses, were nominal. Accordingly, no other activity of ours was reported for the three months ended March 31, 2019 besides ANC Green Solutions I’s operations as Predecessor.

Net income (loss)     (1,071,345 )     144,737       (1,216,082 )

 

Revenue

 

Our revenue was generated from residential and commercial lawn care programs and services, which includes lawncare, landscaping and hardscaping, irrigation and pest-control services, in addition to pest-control franchisor revenue. In addition, revenue was generated from tree care services, which includes tree service, tree removal, stump grinding, mulching, logging and related services. We generated revenues of approximately $1.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 (Successor) as compared to revenue of $0.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019 (Predecessor). The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to the acquisitions of ANC Potter’s and ANC Smith’s, which contributed combined revenue of approximately $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 (Successor).

 

Costs of services provided

 

Cost of services provided represents costs directly related to the provision of the lawn care, landscaping, tree care and pest-control services and include direct labor, materials and equipment depreciation. Costs of services provided during the three months ended March 31, 2020 (Successor) increased $0.4 million as compared to costs of services provided in the three months ended March 31, 2019 (Predecessor) primarily due to the acquisitions of ANC Potter’s and ANC Smith’s. ANC Potter’s and ANC Smith’s combined cost of services provided was approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 (Successor).

 

General and administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses were $1.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 (Successor) as compared to $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019 (Predecessor). The increase was attributable to the inclusion of Andover’s expenses primarily associated with compensation and benefits and professional fees during the three months ended March 31, 2020, which are not included in the general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 (Predecessor), as those results include only the results of ANC Green Solutions I.

Sales and marketing expenses

 

Sales and marketing expenses increased by approximately $18,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2020 (Successor) as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019 (Predecessor), which was primarily attributable to ANC Potter’s and ANC Smith’s.

 

Other income (expense)

 

Other income (expense) of approximately $34,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2020 (Successor) primarily reflects investment income from our holdings of highly liquid investments, which are classified as cash equivalents. Other income (expense) was nominal during the three months ended March 31, 2019 (Predecessor).

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $9.5 million and total equity of $18.3 million. Net working capital was $7.9 million.

 

Our operations may be affected by the recent and ongoing outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) which in March 2020, was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The ultimate disruption which may be caused by the outbreak is uncertain; however, it may result in a material adverse impact on our financial position, operations and cash flows. Possible areas that may be affected include, but are not limited to, disruption to our customers and revenue, labor workforce, and the decline in value of assets held by us.

 

Our principal capital requirements are to fund our working capital needs and to make investments in line with our business strategy. We calculate working capital as current assets less current liabilities. Our principal sources of liquidity are existing cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations and financing activities. In addition, as a public company, we may from time to time access the capital markets through the offering and sale of our securities. However, there can be no assurance that any such alternative sources would be available or sufficient. We believe that future operating cash flows, together with cash on hand will be sufficient to meet our future operating and capital expenditure cash requirements for the next twelve months.

 

Cash Flow Summary

 

The following table summarizes selected items in our consolidated statements of cash flows:

 

    Successor     Predecessor  
    Three Months Ended     Three Months Ended  
    March 31,     March 31,  
    2020     2019  
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities   $ (563,344 )   $ 128,075  
Net cash used in investing activities     (3,375,715 )     (17,192 )
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities     2,028,971       (1,890 )

 

Operating Activities

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 (Successor), cash used in operating activities was $0.6 million primarily as a result of our net loss offset, in part, by share-based compensation of $0.4 million, depreciation and amortization expense of $0.2 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 (Predecessor) operating activities provided $0.1 million of cash primarily as a result of our net income.

 

Investing Activities

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 (Successor), we used $3.4 million of cash in investing activities primarily as a result of our acquisitions of ANC Potter’s and ANC Smith’s, net of cash acquired, for $1.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 (Predecessor), investing activities used approximately $17,000 of cash primarily for the purchase of property and equipment.

 

19

 

 

Financing Activities

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 (Successor), $2.0 million of cash was provided by financing activities from the issuance of shares in a private placement. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 (Predecessor) financing activities used approximately $1,900 of cash as distributions to shareholders and repayment of an equipment loan.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

We have deferred purchase consideration associated with the acquisitions of ANC Green Solutions I, ANC Potter’s and ANC Smith’s of approximately $2.0 million in aggregate, of which $1.3 million is payable within the next twelve months and $0.7 million is classified as a long term obligation.

 

We are also party to loan agreements, the proceeds of which were used to purchase certain equipment and a truck. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $133,160 and $0, respectively, was outstanding under the loan agreements. The loans have remaining terms ranging from 1 year to 4.2 years.

 

Critical accounting policies

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. Our accounting policies are described in Note 1 to our audited financial statements for 2019 appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

 

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide this information.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management performed, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Management’s evaluation identified the following material weakness as of March 31, 2020: insufficient personnel resources within the accounting function to segregate the duties over financial transaction processing and reporting. Based on the foregoing evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change to our internal controls or in other factors that could affect these controls during the three months ended March 31, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. However, our management is currently seeking to improve our controls and procedures in an effort to remediate the deficiency described above.

From time to time, we are also a party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of our operating businesses.
