EXPLANATORY
NOTE
We are filing this
Amendment No. 1 to our annual report on Form 10-K (the “Amendment”) pursuant to a SEC comment letter, dated February
1, 2018, to update certain disclosures in the Form 10-K filed with the SEC on January 12, 2018 (the “Original Report”).
Pursuant to the SEC comments, we are filing this Amendment to present additional information required by Item 9A—Controls
and Procedures.
Except as described
above, no other updates have been made to the Original Report. The Original Report continues to speak as of the date of the Original
Report, and we have not updated the disclosures contained therein to reflect any events which occurred at a date subsequent to
the filing of the Original Report.
In addition, pursuant
to Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as a result of this Amendment, the certifications pursuant to Section
302 and Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, filed and furnished, respectively, as exhibits to the Original Report have
been re-executed and re-filed as of the date of this Amendment and are included as exhibits hereto.
PART II
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
At the conclusion of
the period ended September 30, 2017 we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness
of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded
that as of September 30, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective and adequately designed to ensure that
the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that such information was accumulated
and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, in a manner that allowed for timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial
Reporting.
Our management is responsible
for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)
under Exchange Act. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.
The Company's internal
control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in
reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations
of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial
statements.
All internal control
systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, so that no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance
that all control issues are detected. Also, 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. Therefore, any current evaluation of controls cannot and should not be projected to future periods.
Management conducted
an assessment of the effectiveness of our system of internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2017, the last
day of our fiscal year 2017. This assessment was based on criteria established in the framework Internal Control—Integrated
Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and included
an evaluation of elements such as the design and operating effectiveness of key financial reporting controls, process documentation,
accounting policies, and our overall control environment. Based on management's evaluation under the 2013 COSO framework, management
concluded that the Company's internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of September 30, 2017.
A material weakness
is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable
possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or
detected on a timely basis. We have identified the following material weaknesses.
1. As
of September 30, 2017, we did not maintain effective controls over the control environment. Specifically, we have not developed
a framework for accounting policies and procedures. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization,
management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness.
2. As
of September 30, 2017, we did not maintain effective controls over financial statement disclosure. Specifically, controls were
not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements. Accordingly,
management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
Changes in Internal Controls.
There were no changes
in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange
Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
