EXPLANATORY
NOTE
The
sole purpose of this Amendment No. 2 to the Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 of AgeX Therapeutics,
Inc. filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30,
2020 (the “Form 10-K”) is to amend Item 9A of Part II to include
management’s annual report on internal control over financial
reporting in accordance with Rule 308(a) of Regulation
S-K.
No
other changes have been made to the Form 10-K. This Amendment No. 2
to the Form 10-K speaks as of the original filing date of the Form
10-K, does not reflect events that may have occurred subsequent to
the original filing date, and does not modify or update in any way
disclosures made in the original Form 10-K.
PART
II
Item
9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
It is
management’s responsibility to establish and maintain adequate
internal control over all financial reporting pursuant to Rule
13a-15 under the Exchange Act. Our management, including our
principal executive officer and our principal financial officer,
have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures as of the end of our fourth quarter.
Following this review and evaluation, management
collectively determined that our disclosure controls and procedures
are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed
by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i)
is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in SEC rules and forms; and (ii) is accumulated
and communicated to management, including our chief executive
officer and our chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting
that occurred during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended
December 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate
internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over
financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), is
a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal
executive officer, our principal operations officer, and our
principal financial officer, and effected by our Board of
Directors, management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and
includes those policies and procedures that:
|
● |
Pertain
to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately
and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our
assets; |
|
|
|
|
● |
Provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and
expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations
of our management and directors; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
Provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that
could have a material effect on the financial
statements. |
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of
any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to
the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter
how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those
systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable
assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and
presentation.
Our
management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria
established in the 2013 Internal Control - Integrated Framework
issued by COSO. Based on this assessment, management believes that,
as of that date, our internal control over financial reporting was
effective.
