Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements

 

NOTE 1 – BUSINESS, SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND LIQUIDITY

 

Nature of Business

 

First Foods Group, Inc. (the "Company" or “First Foods” formerly known as Litera Group, Inc.) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 1, 2015, as “Litera Group, Inc.”. The Company is an emerging growth corporation originally formed to provide products and services within the theater and film production community. The Company developed screenplays, stage plays, comedy sketch and skit scripts, short film scripts and other literary and dramatic works, as well as offered abridgment and adaptation services. The Company's target market was independent film and theatrical producers and small and experimental production studios that scout for new projects to produce and distribute. The Company amended its Articles of Incorporation with the State of Nevada in order to change its name from Litera Group, Inc. to First Foods Group, Inc. (the “Amendment”). The board of directors of the Company approved the Amendment on February 15, 2017. The shareholders of the Company approved the Amendment by written consent on February 15, 2017. The Amendment became effective on February 16, 2017. First Foods is now focused on providing management services and funding options for new foodservice brands and menu concepts. First Foods Group, Inc. is also growing its own new concepts, both through proprietary development and through mergers, acquisitions, and licensing arrangements.

 

On April 21, 2017, the Company entered into a binding term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) with Oded Brenner (“Brenner”). Pursuant to the Term Sheet, the Company and Brenner will form an entity that will own the intellectual property rights to "Blue Stripes-Cacao Shop" (the "IP Entity"), for the United States. The Company has 120 days from the date of the Term Sheet to raise a minimum of $1,250,000 and complete the closing. Each party will own 50% of the IP Entity. Additionally, the Company and Brenner will form a new entity (the "Operating Entity"), of which, the Company shall own 51% and Brenner 49%, which will be granted the unlimited and exclusive license, at no cost, from the IP Entity, to open company-owned and franchise locations under the "Blue Stripe-Cacao Shop" marks and to sell products under the "Blue Stripe" marks (the "Brand"), both at retail and via the Internet. As part of the closing process, after the money is raised, the Company shall also use its best efforts to negotiate a three-year employment agreement with Brenner, who would then commit to work full-time for the Company and its subsidiaries/affiliates. As of the date of this filing, the Company has not raised any capital or completed a closing for the Term Sheet.

 

On June 19, 2017, the Company entered into a binding term sheet (the “TBS Term Sheet”) with The Big Salad Franchise Company, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company ("TBS"). The Company has 60 days from the date of the Term Sheet to complete the closing. Pursuant to the TBS Term Sheet, the Company will purchase 100% of TBS for payment of $850,000 in cash. Additionally, John Bornoty (the “Sole Member”) shall receive a 10% equity interest in a subsidiary to be formed by Company (“NewCo”), that will operate the TBS franchise program subsequent to Closing (the $850,000 plus the 10% equity interest is collectively known as the "Purchase Price"). Upon Closing, Sole Member will be named Chief Executive Officer of NewCo and will enter into an Executive Employment Agreement ("EEA") with NewCo that includes an annual salary of $90,000.00, plus other benefits and bonuses in accordance with those provided to the officers of the Company. The EEA shall have a three-year term, with renewal options if approved by the Board of the Company and Sole Member.

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented herein, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the year ending December 31, 2017. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed on March 27, 2017, and with the disclosures and risk factors presented therein. The December 31, 2016 condensed balance sheet has been derived from the audited financial statements.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

 

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

 

The Company does not have sufficient cash flow for the next twelve months from the date of this report. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company's condensed financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of twelve months or less to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, the Company had $686 and $17,355 in cash.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Prior to December 30, 2016, the Company generated revenues from the sale of movie scripts. Revenues were recognized when the following conditions were met:

 

1.

Persuasive evidence of a sale or license agreement exists with a customer.

 

2.

The script is complete and has been delivered or is immediately available to be delivered in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

 

3.

The license period for the arrangement has started and the customer can begin exploitation, exhibition or sale.

 

4.

The arrangement fee is fixed or determinable

 

5.

Collection of the arrangement fee is reasonably assured.

 

If any of the above conditions are not met, the Company will defer revenue until all conditions are met.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company provides for income taxes using the asset and liability approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. With the change in ownership occurring December 30, 2016, the Company is subject to certain NOL limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

Per Share Data

 

In accordance with "ASC-260 - Earnings per Share", the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. There were no dilutive shares outstanding as of June 30, 2017 and 2016.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair value. The carrying value of cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Management is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant market or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the ASC. ASU 2014-09 establishes principles for recognizing revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the expected consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (including interim reporting periods within those periods). Early adoption is permitted to the original effective date for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 (including interim reporting periods within those periods). The amendments may be applied retrospectively to each prior period (full retrospective) or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application (modified retrospective). The Company will adopt ASU 2014-09 in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and plans to apply the full retrospective approach. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have a material impact on its financial statements.

statements concerning the potential benefits that First Foods Group, Inc. (“First Foods”, “we”, “our”, “us”, the “Company”, or “management”) may experience from its business activities and certain transactions it contemplates or has completed; and

 

o

statements of First Foods's expectations, beliefs, future plans and strategies, anticipated developments and other matters that are not historical facts. These statements may be made expressly in this Form 10-Q. You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates," "opines," or similar expressions used in this Form 10-Q. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties that may cause First Foods's actual results to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by First Foods in those statements. The most important facts that could prevent First Foods from achieving its stated goals include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

 

(a)

volatility or decline of First Foods's stock price;

 

 

(b)

potential fluctuation of quarterly results;

 

 

(c)

failure of First Foods to earn revenues or profits;

 

 

(d)

inadequate capital to continue or expand its business, and inability to raise additional capital or financing to implement its business plans;

 

 

(e)

decline in demand for First Foods's products and services;

 

 

(f)

rapid adverse changes in markets;

 

 

(g)

litigation with or legal claims and allegations by outside parties against First Foods, including but not limited to challenges to First Foods's intellectual property rights; and

 

 

(h)

insufficient revenues to cover operating costs;

 

There is no assurance that First Foods will be profitable, First Foods may not be able to successfully develop, manage or market its products and services, First Foods may not be able to attract or retain qualified executives and personnel, First Foods may not be able to obtain customers for its products or services, additional dilution in outstanding stock ownership may be incurred due to the issuance of more shares, warrants and stock options, or the exercise of outstanding warrants and stock options, and other risks inherent in First Foods' businesses.

 

Because the statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. First Foods cautions you not to place undue reliance on the statements, which speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. The cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section should be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that First Foods or persons acting on its behalf may issue. First Foods does not undertake any obligation to review or confirm analysts' expectations or estimates or to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 10-Q, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

 

Current Overview

 

First Foods is currently an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. A company loses its “emerging growth company” status on (i) the last day of the fiscal year during which it had total annual gross revenues of $1,000,000,000 or more; (ii) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of its first sale of common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); (iii) the date on which it has, during the previous 3-year period, issued more than $1,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt; or (iv) the date on which it is deemed to be a ‘large accelerated filer’, as defined in Section 240.12b– 2 of title 17, Code of Federal Regulations, or any successor thereto. As an “emerging growth company,” First Foods is exempt from certain obligations of the Exchange Act including those found in Section 14A(a) and (b) related to shareholder approval of executive compensation and golden parachute compensation and Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 related to the requirement that management assess the effectiveness of the company’s internal control for financial reporting. Furthermore, Section 103 of the JOBS Act provides that as an “emerging growth company”, First Foods is not required to comply with the requirement to provide an auditor’s attestation of ICFR under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for as long as First Foods qualifies as an “emerging growth company.” However, an “emerging growth company” is not exempt from the requirement to perform management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting.

First Foods Group, Inc. (formerly “Litera Group, Inc.”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 1, 2015.

 

First Foods, as Litera Group, Inc., was dedicated to the creation and commercialization of literary and dramatic products and services with the aim of achieving profitability and sustaining growth of our business. First Foods is now focused on providing management services and funding options for new foodservice brands and menu concepts. First Foods is also growing its own new concepts, both through proprietary development and through mergers, acquisitions, and licensing arrangements. The Company has assembled a team of distinguished food service professionals with experience and success at the highest levels of the industry.

 

We intend to become a self-sustained operational entity. In order to generate revenues, management will aim to maximize the Company’s business value by creating competitive products and services, addressing market and competition, utilizing specific marketing strategies, and establishing growth strategy for our company.

 

On December 30, 2016, as a result of a private transaction, the control block of voting stock of this company, represented by 10,500,000 shares of common stock (the “Shares”), were transferred from Wade Gardner to Rosenweiss Capital LLC, and a change of control of the Company occurred. The consideration paid for the Shares, which represent 74% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company on a fully-diluted basis, was $200,000. In connection with the transaction, Mr. Gardner released the Company from all debts owed to him.

 

Upon the change of control of the Company, which occurred on December 30, 2016, the existing director and officer resigned immediately. Accordingly, Wade Gardner, serving as the sole director and as the only officer, ceased to be the Company’s President and Principal Accounting Officer. At the effective date of the transfer, Abraham Rosenblum assumed the role of a director and President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, and Treasurer of the Company. At the effective date of the transfer, Hershel Weiss assumed the role of a director of the Company.

 

On February 16, 2017, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation with the State of Nevada in order to change its name from “Litera Group, Inc.” to “First Foods Group, Inc.” (the “Amendment”). The board of directors of the Company approved the Amendment on February 15, 2017. The shareholders of the Company approved the Amendment by written consent on February 15, 2017.

 

On February 27, 2017, Harold Kestenbaum accepted the appointment to be Chairman of the Board of Directors of First Foods Group, Inc. and Interim Chief Executive Officer. On February 27, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company resolved to appoint Mr. Kestenbaum as the Chairman of the Board of Directors and as the Interim Chief Executive Officer. In conjunction with Mr. Kestenbaum’s appointment, Abraham Rosenblum agreed to resign as Chief Executive Officer, but will remain on the Board of Directors of the Company.

 

On March 1, 2017, Mark J. Keeley accepted the appointment to be the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. On March 1, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company resolved to appoint Mr. Keeley as the Chief Financial Officer.

 

On April 21, 2017, the Company entered into a binding term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) with Oded Brenner (“Brenner”). Pursuant to the Term Sheet, the Company and Brenner will form an entity that will own the intellectual property rights to "Blue Stripes-Cacao Shop" (the "IP Entity"), for the United States. Each party will own 50% of the IP Entity. Additionally, the Company and Brenner will form a new entity (the "Operating Entity"), of which, the Company shall own 51% and Brenner 49%, which will be granted the unlimited and exclusive license, at no cost, from the IP Entity, to open company-owned and franchise locations under the "Blue Stripe-Cacao Shop" marks and to sell products under the "Blue Stripe" marks (the "Brand"), both at retail and via the internet. Pursuant to the Term Sheet, the IP Entity will control and supervise the Brand and its menu, design, and any aspect of the roll-out of the Brand, nationally. Brenner shall have control over the creative process, branding, brand image, menu, design of prototypes and in laying the groundwork for the license agreement under which the Operating Entity will operate the coffee houses. Pursuant to the Term Sheet, the Operating Entity will have control over the development of the Brand, the franchise activities, and other growth aspects of the Brand. The Company shall have the right to invest up to $1,250,000 in Brenner's Blue Stripes International company which owns the international rights to the Brand, and in exchange, the Company will receive 10% of the Blue Stripes international rights and development rights, outside the United States. If the Company elects to invest $1,750,000, it will receive 15%. Pursuant to the Term Sheet, the funds invested by the Company shall also be allocated to building two prototype locations, in the New York metro area, one in New York City and the other in suburb of New York City. Brenner shall be paid an annual salary of $150,000 for developing the Brand identity and for creating the menu for the franchise operations. The Company has 120 days from the date of the Term Sheet to raise a minimum of $1,250,000. The Company shall also use its best efforts to negotiate a three-year employment agreement with Brenner, who would then commit to work full-time for the Company and its subsidiaries/affiliates. As of the date of this filing, the Company has not raised any capital or completed a closing for the Term Sheet.

On June 19, 2017, the Company entered into a binding term sheet (the “TBS Term Sheet”) with The Big Salad Franchise Company, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company ("TBS"). Pursuant to the TBS Term Sheet, the Company will purchase 100% of the assets or member units of TBS, (or a combination to be determined by the Parties) including, but not limited to, all of its revenue streams (exclusive of cash in the bank which John Bornoty ("Sole Member") shall retain), trademarks, logos, recipes, and intellectual property, in consideration of the payment of $850,000 in cash upon the closing of the transactions (the “Closing”). Additionally, the Sole Member shall receive a 10% equity interest in a subsidiary to be formed by Company (“NewCo”), that will operate the TBS franchise program subsequent to Closing (the $850,000 plus the 10% equity interest is collectively known as the "Purchase Price"). TBS will pay its "ordinary" accounts payable prior to the Closing.

 

Upon Closing, Sole Member will be named Chief Executive Officer of NewCo and will enter into an Executive Employment Agreement ("EEA") with NewCo that includes an annual salary of $90,000.00, plus other benefits and bonuses in accordance with those provided to the officers of the Company. The EEA shall have a three-year term, with renewal options if approved by the Board of the Company and Sole Member. If by the end of a sixty-day due diligence period Sole Member and the Company have not reached a mutually acceptable EEA, either party to the Term Sheet may terminate the obligations under the Term Sheet, rendering it void.

 

On June 23, 2017, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement (the “Agreement”), with Robert Kanuth.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We monitor our estimates on an on-going basis for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the future. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates if past experience or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate.

 

Certain of our accounting policies are particularly important to the portrayal and understanding of our financial position and results of operations and require us to apply significant judgment in their application. As a result, these policies are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. In applying these policies, we use our judgment in making certain assumption and estimates. Our critical accounting policies are outlined in Note 1 in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements

 

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2017 compared to the Three Months ended June 30, 2016

 

We had $0 in revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2017 and $16,500 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. Our revenue change is a result of the changing from the sale of dramatic and literary products to providing franchise marketing and consulting services to new and emerging food service franchise companies. We anticipate an increase in sales revenue as we continue to develop our new business plan. Our operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 were $2,114,207, which primarily consisted of consulting of $693,000, advertising and promotion of $483,912, compensation expenses of $421,875, the fair market value of shares issued to a director for services of $307,500, legal and professional fees of $86,255, and deferred salaries of $68,774. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, our operating expenses were $28,516 which consisted of general and administrative expenses. Our increase in operating expenses is primarily due to changing the focus of the Company from theater related activities to retail food and restaurant activities. Our net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $2,114,207. Our net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $12,016. The increase in net loss is primarily due to the adjustment in our business plan.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 compared to the Six Months ended June 30, 2016

 

We had $0 in revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2017 and $28,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Our revenue change is a result of the changing from the sale of dramatic and literary products to providing franchise marketing and consulting services to new and emerging food service franchise companies. We anticipate an increase in sales revenue as we continue to develop our new business plan. Our operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were $4,059,909, which primarily consisted of the fair market value of cash and the fair market value of shares issued to the Interim CEO and Chairman of the Board under a consulting contract of $1,500,000, compensation expenses of $703,125, consulting of $693,000, advertising and promotion of $534,525, the fair market value of shares issued to consultants of $495,000, the fair market value of shares issued to a director for services of $307,500, professional fees of $129,552, and deferred salaries of $113,969. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, our operating expenses were $52,785 which consisted of general and administrative expenses. Our increase in operating expenses are primarily due to changing the focus of the Company from theater related activities to retail food and restaurant activities. Our net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $4,059,909. Our net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $24,785. The increase in net loss is primarily due to the adjustment in our business plan.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company's cash position was $686 at June 30, 2017, compared to $17,355 at December 31, 2016. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had current assets of $40,968 and current liabilities of $448,824 compared to $17,355 and $17,355, respectively, as of December 31, 2016, as we had just begun our revised operations. This resulted in a working capital (deficit) of ($407,856) at June 30, 2017 and $0 at December 31, 2016. The change is based on our change in business direction beginning in this year.

 

Net cash used in operating activities amounted to $163,119 and $25,456 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. This is primarily due to a net loss of $4,059,910 and $24,785, respectively, offset by non-cash items included in the net loss of $3,652,053 in stock based compensation during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

 

Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $146,450 and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

The Company does not have sufficient capital to meet its current cash needs, which include the costs of compliance with the continuing reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company intends to seek additional capital through the management services and funding options for new foodservice brands and menu concepts. First Foods Group, Inc. is also growing its own new concepts, both through proprietary development and through mergers, acquisitions, and licensing arrangements. Financing options may be available to the Company either via a private placement or through the public sale of stock. There is no assurance, however, that the available funds will be available or adequate. Its need for additional financing is likely to persist.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

JOBS Act

 

On April 5, 2012, the JOBS Act was enacted. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act. This election allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

 

We are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, as an “emerging growth company,” we intend to rely on certain of these exemptions, including without limitation, (i) providing an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and (ii) complying with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements, known as the auditor discussion and analysis. We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1 billion or more; (ii) December 31, 2019; (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

As an emerging growth company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our management has carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of June 30, 2017. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective due to a lack of sufficient resources to hire a support staff in order to separate duties between different individuals. The Company lacks the appropriate personnel to handle all the varying recording and reporting tasks on a timely basis. The Company plans to address these material weaknesses as resources become available by hiring additional professional staff, as funding becomes available, outsourcing certain aspects of the recording and reporting functions, and separating responsibilities.

 

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the last quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
