Note 1 – Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Organization and nature of business:

Qrons Inc.  ("Qrons" and/or the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Wyoming on August 22, 2016 under the name BioLabMart Inc. Our headquarters are located at 777 Brickell Avenue, Suite 500, Miami, FL 33131.

The Company is a p reclinical stage biotechnology company developing advanced cell-based solutions to combat neuronal injuries with a laser focus on traumatic brain injuries. The technology could  potentially treat a wide range of neurodegenerative diseases.  The Company's  treatment integrates proprietary, engineered mesenchymal stem cells, 3D printable scaffolding, smart materials and a novel delivery system .

On July 6, 2017, the board of directors and a majority of the Company's shareholders approved an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company from "BioLabMart Inc." to "Qrons Inc.". On August 8, 2017, the Company filed Amended Articles of Incorporation with the State of Wyoming to effectuate such name change.   The Company's common stock was approved by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") for quotation on the OTC pink sheets under the symbol "BLMB" as of July 3, 2017. FINRA announced the Company's name change to Qrons Inc. on its Daily List on August 9, 2017. The new name and symbol change to "QRON" for the OTC market was effective August 10, 2017.

Ariel Agreements

On December 14, 2016, the Company entered into a license and research funding agreement ("License Agreement") with Ariel Scientific Innovations Ltd., formerly known as Ariel University R&D Co., Ltd., ("Ariel"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Ariel University, based in Ariel, Israel. Under the terms of the License Agreement, Professor Danny Baranes, the principal investigator and his research team will carry out further research relating to cell treatment with conditioned medium for neuronal tissue regeneration and repair. In consideration for payments under the License Agreement, the Company received an exclusive worldwide royalty- bearing license in Ariel patents and know-how to develop and commercialize products based on or incorporating conditioned medium for neuronal tissue regeneration and/or repair, resulting from Ariel's research or technology or the Company's research funding (the "Products). Under the License Agreement, the Company is required to use its best efforts to develop and commercialize the Products in accordance with development milestones set forth in the Agreement.

In lieu of extending the research financing and research period under the License Agreement beyond the initial 12 months, on December 14, 2017, the Company entered into a 12-month services agreement with Ariel (the "Services Agreement") pursuant to which a team at Ariel under the direction of Prof. Danny Baranes will conduct molecular biology research activities involving the testing of scaffold materials for the Company. On April 12, 2018, the Services Agreement was amended to provide for additional services as the Company may request.

On March 6, 2018, the Company entered into an additional services agreement with Ariel for the services of Professor Gadi Turgeman and his neurobiology research team in their labs.

Dartmouth Agreements

On October 17, 2017, the Company entered into an option agreement with the Trustees of Dartmouth College which provides for, among other things, the grant to the Company of a one-year exclusive option to negotiate a worldwide, royalty bearing, exclusive license with Dartmouth for 3D printable materials in the field of human and animal health. During the option period, the Company agreed to use all commercially reasonable resources to evaluate the intellectual property and provide quarterly milestone reports and a commercialization plan upon exercise of the option. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company agreed to finance the prosecution of patents by Dartmouth to protect its intellectual property.  Further, the agreement provides for the payment by the Company of an option fee and certain license fees and royalty payments based upon the Company's product sales, as part of a final negotiated license agreement. The Company exercised its option on March 26, 2018 to negotiate definitive license terms, as it continues further evaluation and research.

  Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Financial Statement Presentation:  The unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

Fiscal year end:  The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

Use of Estimates:  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be based upon amounts that differ from these estimates.

Cash Equivalents:  The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Research and Development Costs:  The Company charges research and development costs to expense when incurred in accordance with FASB ASC 730, "Research and Development". Research and development costs were $40,897 and $776 for the three months period ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, respectively.

Advertising and Marketing Costs:  Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred $5,000  in advertising and marketing costs during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and incurred no advertising and marketing costs during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Related parties:  For the purposes of these financial statements, parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the party or exercise significant influence over the party in making financial and operating decisions, or vice versa, or where the Company and the party are subject to common control or common significant influence. Related parties may be individuals or other entities.

Stock-Based Compensation and Other Share-Based Payments:  The expense attributable to the Company's Directors is recognized over the period the amounts are earned and vested, and the expense attributable to the Company's non-employees is recognized when vested, as described in Note 7,  Stock Plan .

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

FASB 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. FASB 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. FASB 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.

If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

Warrants:  The Company accounts for common stock warrants in accordance with applicable accounting guidance provided in ASC Topic 815  "Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity's Own Equity"  (ASC Topic 815), as either derivative liabilities or as equity instruments depending on the specific terms of the warrant agreement.  For warrants classified as equity instruments we apply the Black Scholes model.   Presently all warrants issued and outstanding are accounted for using the equity method.

Income taxes:  The Company has adopted ASC Topic 740 – "Income Taxes" ASC Topic 740 requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC Topic 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share : In accordance with ASC Topic 280 – "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 stock 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 shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock had been issued and if the additional shares of common stock were dilutive.

Potential common stock consists of the incremental common stock issuable upon the exercise of common stock warrants (using the if-converted method), convertible notes, classes of shares with conversion features, and stock awards and stock options. The computation of basic loss per share for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 excludes potentially dilutive securities of underlying share purchase warrants, convertible notes, stock options and preferred shares, because their inclusion would be antidilutive. As a result, the computations of net loss per share for each period presented is the same for both basic and fully diluted.

New Accounting Pronouncements:  There were various accounting standards and interpretations issued recently, none of which are expected to have a material effect on the Company's operations, financial position or cash flows.

Note 3 – Going Concern

The Company has experienced net losses to date, and it has not generated revenue from operations.  While the Company has recently raised proceeds it does not believe its resources will be sufficient to meet its operating and capital needs beyond the fourth quarter of 2018. The Company expects it will require additional capital to fully implement the scope of its proposed business operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company will have to continue to rely on equity and debt financing. There can be no assurance that financing, whether debt or equity, will always be available to the Company in the amount required at any particular time or for any particular period or, if available, that it can be obtained on favorable terms.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amount and classification of liabilities that might cause results from this uncertainty.

Note 4 – Convertible Note – Related Party and Derivative Liabilities

On September 1, 2016, the Company entered into a convertible debenture agreement with CubeSquare, LLC ("CubeSquare"), of which our Chief Executive Officer is the managing partner and our President is a 25% owner. The Company received proceeds of $10,000 during fiscal 2016 ("Note 1"). The note bears interest at 8% per annum and was due on September 1, 2017. Interest accrues from September 1, 2016 and is payable on maturity. Interest is payable, at the lender's option, in cash or common stock. Any portion of the loan and unpaid interest are convertible at any time at the option of the lender into shares of common stock of the Company  at a conversion price of the greater of (i) $0.0625 per share if the Company's shares are not trading on a public market and; (ii) in the event the Company's shares are listed for trading on a public market, the conversion price shall be equal to a 50% discount to  the average of the five  lowest trading prices during the previous twenty  trading days prior to the date of the notice of conversion from the lender.

On September 28, 2017 the Company and CubeSquare amended Note 1 to extend the maturity date of the note from September 1, 2017 to September 1, 2018 under the same terms and conditions.

QRONS INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 4 – Convertible Note – Related Party and Derivative Liabilities (continued)

On September 27, 2017, the Company entered into a second convertible debenture agreement with CubeSquare under which the Company received proceeds of $15,000 (Note 2). Note 2 bears interest at 8% per annum and is due on September 27, 2018. Interest shall accrue from September 27, 2017 and shall be payable on maturity.   Any portion of the principal and unpaid interest under the note is convertible at any time at the option of CubeSquare into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to a 50% discount to the average of the five lowest trading prices during the previous twenty trading days prior to the date of the notice of conversion from CubeSquare.

The Company analyzed the amendment to Note 1 and Note 2 under  ASC 815-10-15-83  and concluded that these two convertible debentures  meet the definition of a derivative.  We estimated the fair value of the derivative on the inception dates, and subsequently, using the Black-Scholes valuation technique, adjusted for the effect of dilution, because that technique embodies all of the assumptions (including, volatility, expected terms, and risk-free rates) that are necessary to fair value complex derivate instruments.

As a result of the application of ASC No. 815 in the periods ended March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 the fair value of the conversion feature is summarized as follows:

Note 5 – License and Research Funding Agreements

On December 14, 2016, the Company entered the License Agreement with Ariel. Under the terms of the License Agreement, Professor Danny Baranes, the principal investigator and his research team will carry out further research relating to cell treatment with conditioned medium for neuronal tissue regeneration and repair. The Company shall fund the research completed during the research period in the total amount of $100,000. In consideration for payments under the License Agreement, the Company received an exclusive worldwide royalty- bearing license in Ariel patents and know-how to develop and commercialize products based on or incorporating conditioned medium for neuronal tissue regeneration and/or repair, resulting from Ariel's research or technology or the Company's research funding (the "Products). Under the License Agreement, the Company is required to use its best efforts to develop and commercialize the Products in accordance with development milestones set forth in the Agreement.

In addition, upon the occurrence of an Exit Event (as defined in the License Agreement) of the Company or of any affiliate commercializing the products, the Company is obligated to issue to Ariel an immediately exercisable warrant for that number of shares equal to 4% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company at the time of issuance.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
 
This Quarterly Report on Report contains predictions, estimates and other forward-looking statements relating to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may", "should", "intends", "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "predicts", "potential", or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors including the risks set forth in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 2, 2018, that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements represent our management's beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this Report. You should read this Report with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect.

All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. We undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they are made, except as required by federal securities and any other applicable law.

The management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Report and the Company's audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the SEC in its Annual Report on Form 10-K on March 2, 2018, along with the accompanying notes.  As used in this quarterly report, the terms "we", "us", "our", and the "Company" means BioLabMart Inc. prior to August 8, 2017 and Qrons Inc. since August 8, 2017.

Overview

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Wyoming on August 22, 2016 as BioLabMart Inc. and changed its name to Qrons Inc. on August 8, 2017.
 
The Company is a p reclinical stage biotechnology company developing advanced cell-based solutions to combat neuronal injuries with a laser focus on traumatic brain injuries. The technology could potentially treat a wide range of neurodegenerative diseases. The Company's treatment integrates proprietary, engineered mesenchymal stem cells, 3D printable scaffolding, smart materials and a novel delivery system.  

The Company raised an aggregate of $281,000 between November 2, 2016 and January 27, 2017 from 37 accredited investors and $500,000 in January 2018 from an accredited investor in private placement offerings under Regulation D and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, respectively. 

The Company relies primarily on its two co-founders, Jonah Meer and Ido Merfeld, who are its sole officers and directors to manage its day- to-day business.  We currently outsource all professional services to third parties in an effort to maintain lower operational costs.
 
Messrs. Meer and Merfeld, as the holders of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of the Company's Class A Preferred Stock, collectively have 66 2/3% of the voting rights of the Company. Acting together, they will be able to influence the outcome of all corporate actions requiring approval of our stockholders.

The Company's common stock was approved by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") for quotation on the OTC pink sheets under the symbol "BLMB" as of July 3, 2017. On July 6, 2017, the Company's board of directors and shareholders approved an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation changing the name of the Company from "BioLabMart Inc." to "Qrons Inc. The Secretary of State of the State of Wyoming approved such name change, effective August 8, 2017.  FINRA announced the Company's name change to Qrons Inc. on its Daily List on August 9, 2017. The new name and symbol, "QRON", became effective on August 10, 2017.

License Agreement with Ariel

On December 14, 2016, the Company entered into a license and research funding agreement ("License Agreement") with Ariel University R&D Co., Ltd., ("Ariel"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Ariel University, based in Ariel, Israel. In consideration for payments under the License Agreement, the Company received an exclusive worldwide royalty-bearing license in Ariel patents and know-how to develop and commercialize products for neuronal tissue regeneration and/or repair, resulting from Ariel's research or technology or the Company's research funding.
 
Services Agreements with Ariel

In lieu of extending the research financing and research period under the License Agreement beyond the initial 12 months, on December 14, 2017, the Company entered into a 12-month services agreement with Ariel (the "Services Agreement") pursuant to which a team at Ariel University under the direction of Prof. Danny Baranes will conduct molecular biology research activities involving the testing of scaffold materials for the Company. As compensation for such services, the Company paid Ariel (i) $17,250 on December 19, 2017 and  (ii) $17,250 on April 26, 2018. On April 12, 2018, the Services Agreement was amended to provide for the payment by the Company of an additional monthly fee, commencing March 2018, of up to 8,000 Israeli shekels as compensation for additional costs which the Company may request.

Option Agreement with Dartmouth

On October 17, 2017, the Company entered into an option agreement with the Trustees of Dartmouth College ("Dartmouth") which provides for, among other things, the grant to the Company of a one-year exclusive option to negotiate a worldwide, royalty bearing, exclusive license with Dartmouth for 3D printable materials in the field of human and animal health. The option agreement provided the opportunity to evaluate the intellectual property, potential products and markets and for further research to develop the intellectual property. The Company exercised its option on March 26, 2018 to negotiate definitive license terms, as it continues further evaluation and research.
18


Plan of Operations

To date, we have not yet developed any candidate for product development nor generated any revenue from the sales of products or services.

In the next 12 months, we plan on establishing additional research teams with each team focusing on a specific area of research in conformance with our multidisciplinary approach to integrate the biological, chemical and mechanical challenges of treating traumatic brain injury to enable the development of what we believe to be our novel stem cell delivery system, via an implantable product.

We also plan to further develop our proprietary, neuro-regenerative mesenchymal stem cell lines as it relates to our product candidate and to continue working with Dartmouth in our development of innovative 3D printable biocompatible advanced materials and stem cell delivery techniques.

On January 9, 2017, Ariel filed a US provisional patent application related to our neural cell development research. A U.S. provisional patent application provides the means to establish an early effective filing date for a later filed non-provisional patent application. It  does not mature into an issued patent unless the applicant files a regular non-provisional patent application within one year. On January 22, 2018, Ariel refiled the provisional patent application. Subject to positive efficacy findings, we currently intend to file for a non-provisional application within one year of the filing of the provisional application.

As our research progresses if and when we achieve functional supporting results, we or Ariel intend to file for additional patents. Under the License Agreement Ariel shall be responsible for the preparation, filing, prosecution and protection of its patents. Such preparation shall be done in consultation with the Company, provided expenses in excess of $1,000 will require Company pre-approval. The Company shall reimburse Ariel for all documented patent-related expenses. We currently estimate the cost of such patent preparation and filing to be approximately $7,000 which we intend to fund with the Company's operating capital.

We will continue exploring sources of additional debt and equity financings as well as available grants.
 
There is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business after the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our expenditures. We do not currently have sufficient resources to accomplish all of the conditions necessary for us to generate revenue.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2018 were $488,628 compared to total operating expenses of $1,081for the three months ended March 31, 2017. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company incurred $40,897 of research and development expenses including payroll of $21,700, service fees related to certain research and development agreements of $12,255, patent consultation and filing fees and certain purchases of expendable lab supplies and equipment compared to $776 of research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The Company incurred general and administrative expenses of $426,551 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and $305 of general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in general and administrative expense during the three months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily due to stock-based compensation costs of $409,405 related to the issuance of stock options to our officers, and stock awards to members of our advisory board. Professional fees totaled $21,180 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to no professional fees during the three months March 31, 2017.   Other expense in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017 include interest expense related to the accretion of our convertible notes of $6,858 and $2,700, respectively, and a gain on the value of derivative liabilities of $2,016 in the three months ended March 31, 2018, with no similar gain in the three months ended March 31, 2017. We recorded a net loss of $493,470 in the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to a net loss of $3,781 in the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

Our current assets as of March 31, 2018 were $506,201 which consisted of $474,308 in cash and cash equivalents and $31,893 of prepaid expenses.  We are in the early stage of development, have experienced net losses to date and have not generated revenue from operations which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. There are a number of conditions that we must satisfy before we will be able to commercialize our potential product and generate revenue, including successful development of a product candidate, which includes clinical trials, FDA approval, demonstration of effectiveness sufficient to generate commercial orders by customers, establishing production capabilities as well as effective marketing and sales capabilities for our product. We do not currently have sufficient resources to accomplish any of these conditions necessary for us to generate revenue and currently expect to incur increasing operating expenses.  We will require substantial additional funds for operations, the service of debt and to fund our business objectives. We will have to continue to rely on equity and debt financing. There can be no assurance that financing, whether debt or equity, will always be available to us in the amount required at any particular time or for any particular period or, if available, that it can be obtained on terms favorable to us. While we secured financing in the amount of $500,000 in January 2018, without additional financing, we do not believe our resources will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital needs beyond the fourth quarter of 2018.

Going Concern
 
Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation. Our report from our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 includes an explanatory paragraph stating the Company has experienced net losses to date, and it has not generated revenue from operations, and will need additional working capital to service debt and for ongoing operations.  These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to obtain sufficient funding, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected and we may be unable to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments which are based on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of their evaluation form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and circumstances. Our significant accounting policies are more fully discussed in note 2 to our financial statements contained herein.  

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
There were various accounting standards and interpretations issued recently, none of which are expected to have a material effect on the Company's operations, financial position or cash flows.  
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are a smaller reporting company and are not required to provide this information.
  
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as of March 31, 2018, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, based on the material weaknesses discussed below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act were recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Act Commission's rules and forms and that our disclosure controls are not effectively designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our internal controls are not effective for the following reasons: (i) there is an inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives as management is comprised of only two persons, one of which is the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer and, (ii) the Company does not have a formal audit committee with a financial expert, and thus the Company lacks the board oversight role within the financial reporting process.
 
In order to mitigate the foregoing material weakness, we have engaged an outside accounting consultant with significant experience in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP to assist us in the preparation of our financial statements to ensure that these financial statements are prepared in conformity to U.S. GAAP. We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of this action and make any changes that our management deems appropriate.

We would need to hire additional staff to provide greater segregation of duties. Currently, it is not feasible to hire additional staff to obtain optimal segregation of duties. Management will reassess this matter in the following year to determine whether improvement in segregation of duty is feasible. In addition, we would need to expand our board to include independent members.
 
Going forward, we intend to evaluate our processes and procedures and, where practicable and resources permit, implement changes in order to have more effective controls over financial reporting. 
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
During the period covered by this report, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
