INDEX
PART I
As used in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the terms “we”, “us”
“our”, the “Company” or the “registrant” refer to Blox Inc., a
Nevada corporation, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Our financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$)
unless otherwise stated and are prepared in accordance with United
States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
In this quarterly report, unless otherwise specified, all
references to “common shares” refer to the common shares in our
capital stock.
Forward-Looking Statements
This quarterly report contains “forward-looking statements”. All
statements other than statements of historical fact are
“forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state
securities laws, including, but not limited to, any projections of
earnings, revenue or other financial items; any statements of the
plans, strategies and objections of management for future
operations; any statements concerning proposed new services or
developments; any statements regarding future economic conditions
or performance; any statements or belief; and any statements of
assumptions underlying any of the foregoing.
Forward-looking statements may include the words “may,” “could,”
“estimate,” “intend,” “continue,” “believe,” “expect” or
“anticipate” or other similar words. These forward-looking
statements present our estimates and assumptions only as of the
date of this report. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to
place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak
only as of the dates on which they are made. Except as required by
applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States,
we do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update any
forward-looking statement.
Although we believe the expectations reflected in any of our
forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could
differ materially from those projected or assumed in any of our
forward-looking statements. Our future financial condition and
results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements,
are subject to change and inherent risks and uncertainties. The
factors impacting these risks and uncertainties include, but are
not limited to:
|
● |
our current lack of
working capital; |
|
● |
our ability to obtain
any necessary financing on acceptable terms; |
|
● |
timing and amount of
funds needed for capital expenditures; |
|
● |
timely receipt of
regulatory approvals; |
|
● |
our management team’s
ability to implement our business plan; |
|
● |
effects of government
regulation; |
|
● |
general economic and
financial market conditions; |
|
● |
our ability to secure
exploration permits for our prospective properties in
Ghana;; |
|
● |
our ability to develop
our green mining business in Africa; and |
|
● |
the fact that our
accounting policies and methods are fundamental to how we report
our financial condition and results of operations, and they may
require our management to make estimates about matters that are
inherently uncertain. |

(b) |
Basis of
Presentation |
The
condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company
comprise the Company and its subsidiaries. These condensed interim

management, all adjustments (including normal recurring ones),
considered necessary for the fair statement of results have been

and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The

exchange rates. Gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange
transactions are included in the determination of net income or

Significant
Accounting Judgments and Estimates (continued) |
The
preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the
period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates.
Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in
which the estimate is revised and may affect both the period of
revision and future periods.
In applying
the Company’s accounting policies, management has made certain
judgments that may have a significant effect on the consolidated
financial statements. Such judgments include the determination of
the functional currencies and use of the going concern
assumption.
|
(i) |
Determination of
Functional Currencies |
In
determining the Company’s functional currency, it periodically
reviews its primary and secondary indicators to assess the primary
economic environment in which the entity operates in determining
the Company’s functional currencies. The Company analyzes the
currency that mainly influences labor, material and other costs of
providing goods or services which is often the currency in which
such costs are denominated and settled. The Company also analyzes
secondary indicators such as the currency in which funds from
financing activities such as equity issuances are generated and the
funding dependency of the parent company whose predominant
transactional currency is the Canadian dollar. Determining the
Company’s predominant economic environment requires significant
judgment.
These
condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been
prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will
continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the
normal course of business. The Company has incurred a net loss of
$87,581 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and has incurred
cumulative losses since inception of $35,415,109 as at June 30,
2020.
These
factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to
continue as going concern. The continuation of the Company as a
going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support
from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain
necessary debt and/or equity financing to continue operations.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of
recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might
be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going
concern. Management of the Company has undertaken steps as part of
a plan to sustain operations for the next fiscal year including
plans to raise additional equity financing, control costs and
reduce operating losses.
|
3. |
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements |
The Company
has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in
effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on
the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the
Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting
pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material
impact on its financial position or results of
operations.

Mineral
Property Interest |
The Company
entered into a Deed of Assignment and Assumption Agreement dated
July 24, 2014 (the “Assumption Agreement”) among Joseph Boampong
Memorial Institute Ltd. (“JBMIL”) and Equus Mining Ltd. (“EML”),
Burey Gold Guinee sarl (“BGGs”) and Burey Gold Limited (“BGL”) and,
collectively with EML and BGGs, (the “Vendors”), pursuant to which
the Company agreed to assume JBMIL’s right to acquire a 78%
beneficial interest in the Mansounia Concession (the “Property”)
from the Vendors. The Company exercised that right and acquired a
78% beneficial interest in the Property.
The Property
lies in the southwest margin of the Siguiri Basin, in the Kouroussa
Prefecture, Kankan Region, in Guinea, West Africa and covers a
surface area of 145 square kilometres. The Property is located
approximately 80 kilometres west, by road, from the country’s third
largest city, Kankan.
An
exploration permit for the Property was granted by the Ministère
des Mines et de la Géologie on August 20, 2013. As part of its due
diligence, the Company obtained a legal opinion which confirmed
that the license was in good standing at the time of acquisition.
It is the Company’s intention to obtain an exploitation permit to
allow the Company the right to mine and dispose of minerals for 15
years, with a possible 5-year extension. The Company has commenced
work on the feasibility study required for obtaining this
permit.
In
consideration for the acquisition of the interest in the Property,
the Company paid in cash $100,000 to BGL and $40,000 to EML and
issued BGL and EML an aggregate of 6,514,350 shares of common stock
of the Company (the “First Tranche Shares”), at a deemed price of
$0.1765 per share, for an aggregate deemed value of $1,150,000. The
First Tranche Shares were issued to BGL and EML in the proportions
of 71.43% and 28.57%, respectively. For accounting purposes, the
Company recorded the cash payment of $140,000, and $10,000 for an
independent valuation of the Property. Additionally, $781,722 was
capitalized to mineral property interests, being the fair value of
the first tranche of shares. The fair value of the first tranche
shares was based on the closing price of the Company’s shares on
the OTCQB on July 24, 2014.
Within 14
days of commercial gold production being publicly declared from ore
mined from the Property, the Company will issue BGL and EML a
second tranche of shares of common stock of the Company (the
“Second Tranche Shares”). The number of Second Tranche Shares to be
issued shall be calculated by dividing $1,150,000 by the volume
weighted average share price of the Company’s common stock over a
20-day period preceding the issuance date. The Second Tranche
Shares shall be issued to BGL and EML in the proportions of 71.43%
and 28.57%, respectively.
The
exploration license, which was originally granted on August 20,
2013, was extended by the Company until January 30, 2020, pending
the results of its application for a mining license for the
property (first submitted December 7, 2018). On February 17, 2020,
the Company received notice from Minister of Mines and Geology,
Republic of Guinea, revoking the Company’s exploration license for
the Mansounia Gold Project. As a result of the revocation of the
Company’s exploration license, all rights held by the Company and
its partners in the Mansounia Gold Project have been terminated.
The Company has since confirmed that its mining license application
cannot proceed without a valid exploration license, and that
it is ineligible to re-apply for an exploration license due to the
expiration of its previous license. At March 31, 2020,
management decided to write off the mineral property
interest.

Fair
Value of Financial Instruments |
The
following provides an analysis of financial instruments that are
measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped
into Levels 1 to 3 and based on the degree to which fair value is
observable:
Level 1 –
fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices
(unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities;
Level 2 –
fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than
quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the
asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly
(i.e. derived from prices); and
Level 3 –
fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques
that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based
on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
Level 2 and
3 financial instruments are measured using management’s best
estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of
fair value require significant management judgment to estimation.
Valuations based on unobservable inputs are highly subjective and
require significant judgments. Changes in such judgments could have
a material impact on fair value estimates. In addition, since
estimates are as of a specific point in time, they are susceptible
to material near-term changes. Changes in economic conditions may
also dramatically affect the estimated fair values.
The
following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets measured
at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy:

Year
ended March 31, 2020
On August
16, 2019, the Company entered into security purchase agreements
with two private investors, issuing two convertible promissory
notes in an aggregate principal amount of $150,000, with a $15,000
original issue discount and $10,000 in legal fees, paid in cash to
the investors and the legal counsel. Each note accrues interest at
an annual rate of 5% and is to be repaid nine months after the
dates of actual funding received. The investors have rights to
convert a portion, or all, of the principal amount plus interest of
each note at a lowest conversion price of i) $0.09 (fixed
conversion price); or ii) 50% multiplied by the lowest closing bid
price of the Common Stock during the 25 consecutive trading day
period immediately preceding the date of the respective conversion
(alternative conversion price) into common shares of the Company
after 180 days and prior to May 16, 2020.
In addition,
the Company issued 300,000 commitment shares to the two investors
with a fair value of $60,000 and 1,111,110 warrants with a fair
value of $220,541. The two warrant holders are entitled to purchase
up to 1,111,110 common shares of the Company at an exercise price
of $0.135 with a 5-year expiry date (Note 7 (b) &
(c))
Based on a
discount factor of 66%, the debt portion of the promissory note was
valued at $102,567 and the conversion feature portion of the notes
was valued at $202,208. The conversion feature was valued using the
Black Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk free
interest rate of 1.61%, volatility of 100.01%, dividend rate of 0%
and expected life of 9 months.

proceeds received by the Company were allocated to the convertible

On June 22,
2013, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with
Waratah Capital Ltd. (“Waratah”) where the Company agreed to
purchase all of Waratah’s right, title, and interest in the Quivira
Gold (“Quivira”) shares, of which Waratah holds 100% of the
outstanding shares. As consideration for the Quivira shares, the
Company will issue to Waratah 60,000,000 shares of common stock and
60,000,000 warrants. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase
one additional common share at $0.05 for a period of five years
from the closing date. Quivira, a subsidiary of Waratah
Investments, owns and operates gold and diamond mining properties
in Ghana.
The closing
of the agreement is subject to the completion of due diligence and
the completion of a private placement for $1,500,000. The private
placement closed during the year ended March 31, 2019. As of the
issuance date of these financial statements, the due diligence has
not yet been completed.

Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations |
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with our
financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in
this quarterly report. The following discussion contains
forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and
beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those
discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could
cause or contribute to such differences include those discussed
below and elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form
10-Q.
Overview
We were
incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 21, 2005, under the
name “Nava Resources, Inc.” for the purpose of conducting mineral
exploration activities. We were authorized to issue 400,000,000
shares of common stock, having a par value of $0.001 per share. On
January 4, 2007, we obtained written consent from our shareholders
to amend our Articles of Incorporation to change the par value of
our common stock from $0.001 to $0.00001 per share, which change
was effected on February 28, 2007. Effective July 30, 2013, we
changed our name from “Nava Resources, Inc.” to “Blox
Inc.”.
On July 9,
2020, the Company received notice from OTC Markets Group that the
closing bid price of our common shares has closed below $0.01 for
more than 30 consecutive calendar days and no longer meets the
Standards for Continued Eligibility for the OTCQB quotation tier as
per the OTCQB Standards Section 2.3(2), which states that the
company must “maintain proprietary priced quotations published by a
Market Maker in OTC Link with a minimum closing bid price of $0.01
per share on at least one of the prior thirty consecutive calendar
days.”
As per
Section 4.1 of the OTCQB Standards, the company will be granted a
cure period of 90 calendar days during which the minimum closing
bid price for the Company’s common stock must be $0.01 or greater
for ten consecutive trading days in order to continue trading on
the OTCQB marketplace. If the requirement is not met by October 7,
2020, the Company will be removed from the OTCQB marketplace and
demoted to the OTC Pink reporting tier. In addition, if the
Company’s closing bid price falls below $0.001 at any time for five
consecutive trading days, the Company will be immediately removed
from the OTCQB and demoted to the OTC Pink reporting
tier.
Recent
Developments
Recently
Discontinued Projects
Mansounia
Property, Guinea, West Africa
Our former
Mansounia exploration permit was acquired in 2013 and was secured
based on our technical and financial capabilities to obtain a
mining permit. The 2013 exploration permit was near expiration when
acquired and was subsequently renewed for the maximum of four times
permitted by the Guinea Mining Code. In December 2019, the company
submitted its final mining permit proposal to the Ministry of
Mines. The ministry requested, in its discretion, that we provide
evidence of funding to account for 15% of the capital required for
project financing. The company was unable to secure the required
financing during prior to expiration of the final permit extension,
and the permit was withdrawn by decree from the Ministry of Mines.
Although it is our understanding the Ministry of Mines exercises
considerable discretion regarding the extension and revocation of
permits and the grant of mining licenses, the decree to revoke our
exploration permit suggests that our application is no longer under
consideration. With respect to the fate of the project, we
anticipate that we will attempt to renegotiate a position for the
Mansounia project once Guinea reopens its border to international
travel (the country has been inaccessible due to COVID-19)
Currently the a permit for the property has been granted by way of
two exploration licence to Penta Goldfields SARL, a company owned
by our In country manager in Guinea, Mr. Nfamoussa Kaba. There is
no guarantee that we will be successful in securing any future
rights to the Mansounia project.
Current
Business:
Pramkese, Osenase
and Asamankese, Ghana, West Africa
On June 22,
2013, we entered into a share purchase agreement with Waratah
Investments Limited (“Waratah”) whereby we agreed to purchase all
of Waratah’s right, title, and interest in the Quivira Gold
(“Quivira”) shares, of which Waratah holds 100% of the outstanding
shares. As consideration for the Quivira shares, we agreed to issue
to Waratah 60,000,000 shares of common stock and 60,000,000
warrants. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one
additional common share at $0.05 for a period of five years from
the closing date. Quivira, a subsidiary of Waratah, owns and
operates gold and diamond mining properties in Ghana.
The closing
of the agreement was subject to the completion of a private
placement financing of up to US$1,500,000, which private placement
was completed in April 2018. We issued 30,000,000 units (the
“Units”) at a price of US$0.05 per unit for aggregate gross
proceeds of US$1,500,000. US$1,100,000 of the proceeds were
advanced as non-interest bearing loans since 2014 and were utilized
to cover general and administrative expenses, as well as to carry
out exploration work on our mineral properties. The remaining
balance of US$400,000 was received by April 2018. Each Unit
consists of one common share and one share purchase warrant
entitling the holder thereof to purchase one additional common
share at a price of $0.05 per share for a term of five years from
the date of issuance.
Closing the
Agreement is also conditional upon receiving legal opinions of
Ghana counsel confirming various matters relating to the laws of
Ghana, including corporate and title opinions; the Company
receiving legal opinions of Australian counsel confirming various
matters relating to the laws of Australia, including corporate and
title opinions; completion of certain ongoing transactions by
Quivira relating to the transfer of title to certain assets and to
an assignment of debt; and preparation of U.S. GAAP consolidated
financial statements for Quivira.
Our
directors conducted their first visit to Ghana in August 2015, when
they visited the Birim Region where the three Ghanaian concessions
are located. The objective was to carry out a geological
reconnaissance over the areas to identify potentially favourable
lithologies. The directors inspected the existing field
programs in Ghana and oversaw the planning and implementation of
programs for the near future. Field work on the three concessions
has since ceased and associated exploration permits have expired.
Neither the Company nor Quivira holds any right title or claim to
the concessions, but the Company endeavors to renew permits subject
to securing sufficient financing. There is no guarantee that
sufficient financing will be raise in a timely manner, if at
all.
We intend to
renew permits for three concessions in Ghana for their gold and
diamond potential, and to explore the market for other viable
assets. All three licences have expired and require an estimated
$100,000 to renew. We are currently in discussions with with
prospective equity investors to finance the renewal costs, however
no agreement has been secured. Nevertheless, in order to secure
necessary financing, we will be required to increase our authorized
capital. The Asamankese, Osenase and Pramkese concessions are
located near Asamankese, Akim Oda and Kade towns respectively. The
concession is dominated by broad pene plain, dotted with moderate
to high hills and remnant of rain forest. The area is hilly and
rugged, running from 180m to 300m in elevation. Around the licences
is the Atewa range about 1050m above sea level. There are little
published records of extensive widely scattered gold mineralization
old pits, shafts and adits, as well as artisanal gold workings in
the concessions. In the mid-sixties, the Geological Survey
Department of Ghana undertook reconnaissance mapping and soil
geochemical survey in the area during which traces of gold were
recorded in panned concentrates of geochemical samples.
Osenase is
in the Birim Central Municipal District. The nearest town to the
project area is the District Capital Akim Oda. This project has
seen limited amount of gold exploration. The concession was
previously held by Cornucopia Resources in the 1990s and was
engaged in potential for a diamond resource. Paramount Mining
Corporation held the concession for almost 6 years with limited
amount of work. The limited work done was focused on diamondiferous
hard rock potential at Atiankama Nkwanta. The presence of diamonds
in what appears to be an in-situ unit exposed by the Francis Pits
at Atiakama Nkwanta provides an opportunity to explain the source
of some of the diamonds in the region. S Two oriented grids were
sampled in 2007 but were never analysed for gold. The samples have
been stored at the Manso camp to be analysed later. No subsequent
work has been carried out to establish gold or diamond potential,
and there is no guarantee that ore is present in economically
significant quantity.
Asamankese
is a 150Km2 Prospecting License (PL) in the West Akim District. The
nearest town to the project area is the District Capital
Asamankese. Asamankese was originally part of Osenase under a
reconnaissance licence. In 2006, about 4 soil-oriented grids on
800m x 50m was established and sampled. The samples were stored at
the Manso camp to be analysed later. The samples are still in
storage at the Manso camp. A total of 436 samples representing two
of the gridlines L1600N and L2400N at 800m apart were later on
analysed for gold. The samples were sent to SGS Tarkwa for 2kg BLEG
analysis. Results received were not encouraging for gold, with only
one modest spike of 170 ppb Au, associated with alluvials. A
limited stream sediment program began in November 2008 but could
not be completed due to financial constraints. About 108 stream
sediment samples were collected and panned for visible gold out of
a total 183 planned. No laboratory analysis was carried out. About
80 sample points are still yet to be sampled.
Pramkese is
a 66 square kilometres Prospecting License (PL) in the Kwaebibirim
District located in the Birim Diamond Field. The nearest town to
the project area is the District Capital Kade. Limited
reconnaissance work was carried out in 2009 and the licence was
converted to a Prospecting Licence. The exercise concentrated on
the south of the town of Pramkese. Ten (10) alluvial pits were dug
and sampled. The samples collected were panned and hand jigged for
gold and diamond respectively. In the early 90’s, a fair amount of
work was done on the concession for both alluvial gold and diamond
by Basogard. Basogard defined some alluvial gold and diamond
resources which were never investigated.
The company
is now in discussions with various potential partners to explore
and define the potential of these concessions, however no
definitive agreements have been reached. There is no guarantee
that any agreements will be reached or that permits will be
secured.
Going
Concern
Our
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. We
have not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient
to cover our operating costs and to allow us to continue as a going
concern. We have incurred a net loss of $87,581 for the three
months ended June 30, 2020, and have incurred cumulative losses
since inception of $35,415,109. These factors raise substantial
doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as going
concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on
our ability to continue obtaining adequate capital to fund
operating losses until we become profitable. If we are unable to
obtain adequate capital, we could be forced to significantly
curtail or cease operations.
We will need
to raise additional funds to finance continuing operations.
However, there are no assurances that we will be successful in
raising additional funds. Without sufficient additional financing,
it would be unlikely for us to continue as a going concern. Our
ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our
ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in this
quarterly report and eventually secure other sources of financing
and attain profitable operations.
Results
of Operations
Three Months
Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019
The net loss
for the three months ended June 30, 2020 were $87,581 as compared
to the net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2019 of
$22,745. Operating expenses for the 1st quarter totaled
$70,637 compared to $67,398, in 2019 a decrease of $31,761. Some of
the more items contributing to the net loss and comprehensive loss
for the 1st quarter of 2020 and 2019 were as
follows:
|
● |
Exploration
expenses of $Nil (2019: $25,105). The exploration decreased
significantly is due to lack of funding in the current
quarter. |
|
● |
Consulting
and professional fees of $22,791 (2019: $34,505). The decrease is
result of cutting back the management fees in the current
quarter. |
|
● |
Gain on the
investment in warrants of $Nil (2019: $44,653). The fair value of
warrants of ASI is Nil in the current quarter due to the warrants
expired. |
|
● |
Unrealized
gain on the investment in common shares of $50,202 (2019: $68,276).
The unrealized gain is due to holding the investment in Ashanti
Sankofa Inc’s (TSX.V-ASI)’ common shares. The market value of ASI’s
common shares decreased for the current quarter. |
|
● |
Accretion of
$9,261 (2019 - $Nil). The accretion of the convertible debenture
was recognized in the two quarters of fiscal 2020. There was no
such expense recorded in the comparable quarters. |
Management
anticipates operating expenses will materially increase in future
periods as we focus on green mineral development and incur
increased costs as a result of being a public company with a class
of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934.

$63,066.
Current
Liabilities
Current
liabilities as at June 30, 2020 increased by $69,052 since March
31, 2020, primarily due to issuing convertible notes being incurred

Operating
activities
The increase
in net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended
June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019 was primarily as
a result of increased operating activities in the current
quarter.
Investing
activities
For the
three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2020, there were no investing
activities incurred.
Financing
activities
There was a
convertible promissory notes issued in the three months ended June
30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019.
Critical
Accounting Policies
There have
been no significant changes to the critical accounting policies as
described in our Annual Form 10-K for the year ended March 31,
2020.
Cash
Requirements
Our current
cash position is not sufficient to meet our present and near-term
cash needs. We will require additional cash resources,
including the sale of equity or debt securities, to meet our
planned capital expenditures and working capital
requirements. For the next 12 months we estimate that our
capital needs will be $500,000 to $750,000 and we currently have
approximately $63,000 in cash. We will seek to sell additional
equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities.
The sale of additional equity securities will result in dilution to
our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness will result in
increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to
operating and financial covenants that could restrict our
operations or modify our plans to grow the business. Financing may
not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at
all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable
to us, or at all, will limit our ability to expand our business
operations and could harm our overall business
prospects.
Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements
We have no
off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely
to have a current or future effect on our financial condition,
changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of
operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources
that is material to our stockholders.
