CAUTIONARY NOTE CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain statements and information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 (the “Quarterly Report”) may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, which address activities, events, or developments that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future, including such things as future capital expenditures, commencement of business operations, business strategy, statements related to the expected effects on our business from the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, and other similar matters are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “hope,” “intend,” “project,” “positioned,” or “strategy” or other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements are based largely on our current expectations and assumptions and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. These statements are subject to many risks, uncertainties, and other important factors that could cause actual future results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements including, but not limited to, the duration and scope of the COVID-19 pandemic and impact on the demand for the products we distribute; our ability to obtain the products from the manufacturer; actions governments, businesses, and individuals take in response to the pandemic, including mandatory business closures and restrictions on onsite commercial interactions; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and action taken in response to the pandemic on global and regional economies and economic activity; the pace of recovery when the COVID-19 pandemic subsides; general economic uncertainty in key global markets and a worsening of global economic conditions or low levels of economic growth; our inability to sustain profitable sales growth; and circumstances or developments that may make us unable to implement or realize the anticipated benefits, or that may increase the costs, of our current and planned business initiatives. For a more thorough discussion of these risks, you should read this entire Report carefully, as well as the risks discussed under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

Although management believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements included in this Report are reasonable, such statements do not guarantee our future performance, and actual results could differ from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements. The assumptions used for purposes of the forward-looking statements specified in the following information represent estimates of future events and are subject to uncertainty as to possible changes in economic, legislative, industry, and other circumstances. As a result, the identification and interpretation of data and other information and their use in developing and selecting assumptions from and among reasonable alternatives require the exercise of judgment. To the extent that the assumed events do not occur, the outcome may vary substantially from anticipated or projected results, and, accordingly, no opinion is expressed on the achievability of those forward-looking statements. In the light of these risks and uncertainties, all of the forward-looking statements made herein are qualified by these cautionary statements, and there can be no assurance that the results and events contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this Report will in fact transpire. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their dates. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements.

Alpine 4 Holdings, Inc., and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021

 

Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared by Alpine 4 Holdings, Inc. (‘we,” “our,” or the "Company"), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") were omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 15, 2021. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021.

 

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on April 22, 2014.  The Company was formed to serve as a vehicle to affect an asset acquisition, merger, exchange of capital stock, or other business combination with a domestic or foreign business.  On March 2, 2021, the Company changed its name from Alpine 4 Technologies Ltd. to Alpine 4 Holdings, Inc.

 

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of Morris Sheet Metal Corp., an Indiana corporation (“MSM”), JTD Spiral, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of MSM, an Indiana corporation, Morris Enterprises LLC, an Indiana limited liability company, and Morris Transportation LLC, an Indiana limited liability company (collectively “Morris”).

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements present the balance sheets, statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows of the Company. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”).

 

Liquidity

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP applicable to a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business within one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.

 

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”), Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), our management evaluates whether there are conditions or events, considered in aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

While the Company experienced a loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, of $6.1 million, and had a negative cash flow used in operations, there were significant non-recurring items related to the RSU purchases totaling approximately $1.8 million contributing to the loss.

  

The Company received a total of approximately $54.0 million in February 2021 in the following two transactions:

 

·The Company raised approximately $45.0 million in net proceeds in connection with a registered direct offering of its stock and;  

·The Company raised approximately $9.0 million in net proceeds in connection with an equity line of credit financing arrangement.  

 

The Company plans to continue to generate additional revenue (and improve cash flows from operations) partly from the acquisitions of two operating companies which closed in May 2021 combined with improved performance from the existing operating companies. 

 

Based on the capital raise as indicated above and management plans to improve cash flows from operations, management believes the Company has sufficient working capital to satisfy the Company’s estimated liquidity needs for the next 12 months. The Company ended the March 31, 2021 quarter with $36.0 million in cash, and as of the date of this Report had $14.3 million in cash after the purchase of the two operating companies in May 2021. During the quarter, the Company paid down liabilities of approximately $13.0 million. In addition, approximately $1.0 million was used to build inventory and for capital expenditures. The current ratio was at 3.2 times at March 31, 2021.

 

However, there is no assurance that management’s plans will be successful due to the current economic climate in the United States and globally.

 

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries as of March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020.  Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Use of estimates

 

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  Preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses and related disclosures. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable. In many instances, the Company could have reasonably used different accounting estimates and in other instances changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. This applies in particular to useful lives of non-current assets, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and impairment of non-current assets. Actual results could differ significantly from our estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, the Company’s future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations

and cash flows will be affected.  The ultimate impact from COVID-19 on the Company’s operations and financial results during 2021 will depend on, among other things, the ultimate severity and scope of the pandemic, the pace at which governmental and private travel restrictions and public concerns about public gatherings will ease, and the speed with which the economy recovers. The Company is not able to fully quantify the impact that these factors will have on the Company’s financial results during 2021 and beyond.  COVID-19 did have a negative impact on the Company’s financial performance in 2020.  During the three months ended March 31, 2021, there was no impairment charge related to intangible assets and goodwill.

 

Major Customers

 

The Company had two customers that made up 14% and 9%, respectively, of accounts receivable as of March 31, 2021. The Company had two customers that made up 10% and 8%, respectively, of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2020.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company had two customers that made up 15% and 10% of total revenues. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company had two customers that made up 14% and 11%, respectively, of total revenues. 

 

Fair value measurements

 

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

 

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, convertible notes, notes and line of credit. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.

 

The carrying value of long-term debt approximates fair value since the related rates of interest approximate current market rates.  As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has no financial assets or liabilities that required to be fair valued on a recurring basis.

Earnings (loss) per shares

 

The Company presents both basic and diluted net loss per share on the face of the consolidated statements of operations. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted per share calculations give effect to all potentially dilutive shares of common stock outstanding during the period, including stock options and warrants, and using the treasury-stock method. If antidilutive, the effect of potentially dilutive shares of common stock is ignored. The only potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the periods presented were the convertible debt, options and warrants.  The following table illustrates the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020:

Note 3 – Leases

 

The Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of the Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company must discount lease payments based on an estimate of its incremental borrowing rate.

 

As of March 31, 2021, the future minimum finance and operating lease payments were as follows:

Note 8 – Business Combinations

 

Vayu (US)

 

Effective February 8, 2021, the Company purchased the assets of Vayu (US), Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Vayu”).

 

Under the provision of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, the Company had to determine whether this acquisition was a business combination or an asset (or a group of assets) acquisition. In doing so, the Company determined that the acquisition of Vayu was in fact an asset purchase.  Of the consideration given for the Vayu acquisition more than 95% was concentrated in a single asset or a group of assets in Intellectual Property. As such, the Company accounted for this acquisition as an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 805-10-20.  Accordingly, the assets acquired are initially recognized at the consideration paid, which was the fair value of the series D preferred stock issued, including direct acquisition costs, of which there were none. The cost is allocated to the group of assets acquired based on their relative fair values. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed of were as follows at the purchase date:

Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, the Company may become involved in lawsuits and other legal proceedings that arise in the course of business.  Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and it is not possible to predict the outcome of litigation with total confidence. As of the date of this Report, the Company was not aware of any legal proceedings or potential claims against it whose outcome would be likely, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results, or cash flows, except as set forth below.

 

In June 2020, the Company’s subsidiary Excel Fabrication, LLC filed a lawsuit against Fusion Mechanical, LLC, in the Fifth Judicial District Court, State of Idaho (Case Number CV42-20-2246).

The defendant filed a second motion to dismiss and the Company filed a memorandum in response to the second motion to dismiss, for which a hearing was held on May 10, 2021. As of the date of this Report, discovery was proceeding. The Company intends to pursue vigorously its claims.

 

In August 2020, the Company filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court, District of Arizona (Case No.2:20-cv-01679-DJH), against Alan Martin, the seller of Horizon Well Testing LLC (“HWT”) dba Venture West Energy Services, LLC.

Please also see the cautionary language at the beginning of this Quarterly Report regarding forward-looking statements.

 

Overview and Highlights

 

Company Background

 

Alpine 4 Holdings, Inc. (“we,” “our,” or the “Company”), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on April 22, 2014. We are a publicly traded conglomerate that is acquiring businesses that fit into its disruptive DSF business model of Drivers, Stabilizers, and Facilitators.   At Alpine 4, we understand the nature of how technology and innovation can accentuate a business.  Our focus is on how the adaptation of new technologies even in brick and mortar businesses can drive innovation.   We also believe that our holdings should benefit synergistically from each other and that the ability to have collaboration across varying industries can spawn new ideas and create fertile ground for competitive advantages.  This unique perspective has culminated in the development of our Blockchain-enabled Enterprise Business Operating System called SPECTRUMebos.

 

As of the date of this Report, the Company was a holding company that owned eleven operating subsidiaries:

 

-A4 Corporate Services, LLC;  

-ALTIA, LLC;  

-Quality Circuit Assembly, Inc.;  

-Morris Sheet Metal, Corp;  

-JTD Spiral, Inc.;  

-Excel Construction Services, LLC;  

-SPECTRUMebos, Inc.;  

-Impossible Aerospace, Inc.;  

-Vayu (US), Inc.; 

-Thermal Dynamics, Inc.; and 

-Alternative Laboratories, LLC. 

 

In the first quarter of 2020, we created three additional subsidiaries to act as silo holding companies, organized by industries. These silo subsidiaries are A4 Construction Services, Inc. (“A4 Construction”), A4 Manufacturing, Inc. (“A4 Manufacturing”), and A4 Technologies, Inc. (“A4 Technologies”). In the first quarter of 2021, we formed additional silo subsidiaries: A4 Defense Systems, Inc. (“A4 Defense”); and A4 Aerospace Corporation. All of these are Delaware corporations. Each is authorized to issue 1,500 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.01 per share, and the Company is the sole shareholder of each of these subsidiaries.  

 

In March 2021, the Company announced the combination of its subsidiaries Deluxe Sheet Metal, Inc. (Deluxe) and Morris Sheet Metal Corporation (Morris) to become one of the largest sheet metal contractors in the Midwest region of the United States. Both companies will be under the Morris Sheet Metal brand. Management anticipates that Deluxe and Morris will be fully integrated by May 2021.  The Company’s management believes that the combination of these businesses will create a more harmonious relationship between the two companies. The combining of resources should empower Morris to strengthen its brand through its strategic banking relationship, eliminate duplicative and competitive interests, and expand its footprint beyond the Indiana home base.

 

Effective May 1, 2021, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of stock of Thermal Dynamics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Thermal Dynamics”).


20


Effective May 4, 2021, the Company acquired all of the outstanding membership interests of KAI Enterprises, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, the sole asset of which was all of the outstanding membership interests of Alternative Laboratories, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Alt Labs”).

 

Alpine 4 maintains our corporate office located at 2525 E. Arizona Biltmore Circle, Suite C237, Phoenix, Arizona 85016. ALTIA works out of the headquarters offices.  QCA rents a location at 1709 Junction Court #380 San Jose, California 95112. Deluxe Sheet Metal’s facilities are located at 6661 Lonewolf Dr, South Bend, Indiana 46628. Morris Sheet Metal and JTD Spiral are located at 6212 Highview Dr, Fort Wayne, Indiana 46818. Excel Construction Services’ office and fabrication space are located at 297 Wycoff Cir, Twin Falls, Idaho 83301. Impossible Aerospace’s headquarters are located at 2222 Ronald St, Santa Clara, California 95050. Vayu (US) has its headquarters at 3815 Plaza Drive, Ann Arbor, MI 48108. The headquarters for TDI are located at 14955 Technology Ct, Fort Myers, FL 33912. Alt Labs has it headquarters at 14955 Technology Ct, Fort Myers, FL 33912.

 

Business Strategy

 

What We Do:

 

Alexander Hamilton in his “Federalist paper #11”, said that our adventurous spirit distinguishes the commercial character of America.  Hamilton knew that our freedom to be creative gave American businesses a competitive advantage over the rest of the world.  We believe that Alpine 4 also exemplifies this spirit in our subsidiaries and that our greatest competitive advantage is our highly diverse business structure combined with a culture of collaboration.

 

It is our mandate to grow Alpine 4 into a leading, multi-faceted holding company with diverse subsidiary holdings with products and services that not only benefit from one another as a whole, but also have the benefit of independence.  This type of corporate structure is about having our subsidiaries prosper through strong onsite leadership while working synergistically with other Alpine 4 holdings.  The essence of our business model is based around acquiring B2B companies in a broad spectrum of industries via our acquisition strategy of DSF (Drivers, Stabilizer, Facilitator).  Our DSF business model (which is discussed more below) offers our shareholders an opportunity to own small-cap businesses that hold defensible positions in their individual market space.  Further, Alpine 4’s greatest opportunity for growth exists in the smaller to middle-market operating companies with revenues between $5 to $150 million annually.  In this target-rich environment, businesses generally sell at more reasonable multiples, presenting greater opportunities for operational and strategic improvements that have greater potential to enhance profit.

 

Driver, Stabilizer, Facilitator (DSF)

 

Driver:  A Driver is a company that is in an emerging market or technology, that has enormous upside potential for revenue and profits, with a significant market opportunity to access.  These types of acquisitions are typically small, brand new companies that need a structure to support their growth.

 

Stabilizer:  Stabilizers are companies that have sticky customers, consistent revenue and provide solid net profit returns to Alpine 4.

 

Facilitators:  Facilitators are our “secret sauce”.  Facilitators are companies that provide a product or service that an Alpine 4 sister company can use as leverage to create a competitive advantage.

 

When you blend these categories into a longer-term view of the business landscape, you can then begin to see the value-driving force that makes this a truly purposeful and powerful business model.  As stated earlier, our greatest competitive advantage is our highly diversified business structure combined with a collaborative business culture, that helps drive out competition in our markets by bringing; resources, planning, technology and capacity that our competitors simply do not have.  DSF reshapes the environment each subsidiary operates in by sharing and exploiting the resources each company has, thus giving them a competitive advantage that their peers do not have.

PICTURE 2  

 

How We Do It:

 

Optimization vs. Asset Producing

 

The process to purchase a perspective company can be long and arduous.  During our due diligence period, we are validating and determining three major points, not just the historical record of the company we are buying.  Those three major points are what we call the “What is, What Should Be and What Will Be”.

 

“The What Is” (TWI).  TWI is the defining point of where a company is holistically in a myriad of metrics; Sales, Finance, Ease of Operations, Ownership and Customer Relations to name a few. Subsequently, this is usually the point where most acquirers stop in their due diligence.  We look to define this position not just from a number’s standpoint, but also how does this perspective map out to a larger picture of culture and business environment. 

 

“The What Should Be” (TWSB).  TWSB is the validation point of inflection where we use many data inputs to assess if TWI is out of the norm with competitors, and does that data show the potential for improvement. 

 

“The What Will Be” (TWWB).  TWWB is how we seek to identify the net results or what we call Kinetic Profit (KP) between the TWI and TWSB.  The keywords are Kinetic Profit.  KP is the profit waiting to be achieved by some form of action or as we call it, the Optimization Phase of acquiring a new company. 

 

Optimization:  During the Optimization Phase, we seek to root up employees with in-depth training on various topics. Usually, these training sessions include; Profit and Expense Control, Production Planning, Breakeven Analysis and Profit Engineering to name a few.  But the end game is to guide these companies to: become net profitable with the new debt burden placed on them post-acquisition, mitigate the loss of sales due to acquisition attrition (we typically plan on 10% of our customers leaving simply due to old ownership not being involved in the company any longer), potential replacement of employees that No longer wish to be employed post-acquisition and other ancillary issues that may arise.  The Optimization Phase usually takes 12-18 months post-acquisition and a company can fall back into Optimization if it is stagnant or regresses in its training.

 

Asset Producing:  Asset Producing is the ideal point where we want our subsidiaries to be.  To become Asset Producing, subsidiary management must have completed prescribed training formats, proven they understand the key performance indicators that run their respective departments and finally, the subsidiaries they manage must have posted a net profit for 3 consecutive months.

Revenue

 

Our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021, decreased by $167,191 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020.  In 2021, the decrease in revenue is related to $1,516,351 for Deluxe; and $529,041 for APF; offset by an increase of $1,708,183 for QCA; $133,595 for Morris and $36,423 for Excel.  The decrease in revenue was driven by the closure of APF. The decrease in revenue was driven mainly by our construction services group as COVID 19 continued to cause pressure within this group. We do, however, expect a pickup in revenue in the second quarter of 2021 and thereafter resulting in a year over year organic increase.

 

Cost of revenue

 

Our cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021, increased by $837,934 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020.  In 2020, the increase in our cost of revenue related to $1,301,688 for QCA; and $416,219 for Morris; offset by a decrease of $558,683 for APF; $255,591 for Deluxe and $65,699 for Excel.   In the quarter ended March 31, 2021, there was significant cost of revenue pressure which was a direct result of lower revenue in our construction services group as well as lower margins on the mix of jobs.

 

Operating expenses

 

Our operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021, increased by $2,963,299 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020.  The increase is due to the purchase of RSU in connection with the acquisitions of Impossible Aerospace and Vayu of $1,100,451 and $726,932, respectively.

 

Other expenses

 

Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2021, decreased by $2,411,432 as compared to the same period in 2020. This decrease was primarily due to the change in derivative liability and change in fair value of contingent consideration.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have financed our operations since inception from the sale of common stock, capital contributions from stockholders and from the issuance of notes payable and convertible notes payable.  We expect to continue to finance our operations from our current operating cash flow and by the selling shares of our common stock and or debt instruments. In the first quarter of 2021, we raised approximately $54,000,000 through the sale of our common stock.

 

In April and May 2020, we received seven loans under the Paycheck Protection Program of the U.S. Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act totaling $3,896,107.  The loans have terms of 24 months and accrue interest at 1% per annum.  We expect some or all of these loans to be forgiven as provided by in the CARES Act.

 

Management expects to have sufficient working capital for continuing operations from either the sale of its products or through the raising of additional capital through private offerings of our securities and improved cash flows from operations including the two acquisitions that closed in May 2021. Additionally, the Company is monitoring additional businesses to acquire which management hopes will provide additional operating revenues to the Company. There can be No guarantee that the planned acquisitions will close or that they will produce the anticipated revenues on the schedule anticipated by management.

 

The Company also may elect to seek bank financing or to engage in debt financing through a placement agent. 

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company has not entered into any transactions with unconsolidated entities whereby the Company has financial guarantees, subordinated retained interests, derivative instruments, or other contingent arrangements that expose the Company to material continuing risks, contingent liabilities, or any other obligation under a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk, or credit risk support to the Company.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. Preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. In many instances, we could have reasonably used different accounting estimates and in other instances changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. This applies in particular to useful lives of non-current assets and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ significantly from our estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected. Management believes that there have been no changes in our critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2021. 

 

For a summary of our critical accounting policies, refer to Note 2 of our consolidated financial statements included under Item 8 – Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on April 15, 2021.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. 

 

As a Smaller Reporting Company, the Company is not required to include the disclosure under this Item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, March 31, 2021. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer.

 

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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our


24


company's reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Based upon that evaluation, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this report due to the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, many of which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) inadequate control activities and monitoring processes over financial reporting.  However, as discussed in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2020, we have hired additional accounting staff, including a Chief Accounting Officer.  Management will continue to work to improve the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures throughout 2021.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
