NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – THE COMPANY HISTORY AND NATURE OF THE BUSINESS

 

Nukkleus Inc. (f/k/a Compliance & Risk Management Solutions Inc.) (“Nukkleus” or the “Company”) was formed on July 29, 2013 in the State of Delaware as a for-profit Company and established a fiscal year end of September 30.

 

On February 5, 2016, Charms Investments, Ltd (“Charms”), the former majority shareholder of the Company, sold 146,535,140 shares of common stock to Currency Mountain Holdings Bermuda, Limited (“CMH”), the parent of the Company. CMH is wholly-owned by an entity that is owned by Emil Assentato, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and Chairman. In addition, on the same date, CMH acquired 3,937,000 shares of common stock from another non-affiliated company. The aggregate purchase price paid by CMH was $347,500.

 

On May 24, 2016, Nukkleus, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Nukkleus Limited, a Bermuda limited company (“Nukkleus Limited”), Charms, the former majority shareholder, and CMH entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company purchased from CMH certain intellectual property, hardware, software and other assets (collectively, the “Assets”) in consideration of 48,400,000 shares of common stock of the Company.

As a result of such acquisition, the Company’s operations are now focused on the operation of a foreign exchange trading business utilizing the assets acquired from CMH.

 

On May 24, 2016, Nukkleus Limited entered into a General Service Agreement to provide its software, technology, customer sales and marketing and risk management technology hardware and software solutions package to FML Malta Ltd.

Accordingly, all references to FML Malta Ltd. have been replaced with FXDD Malta. FXDD Malta is a private limited liability company formed under the laws of Malta. The General Service Agreement entered with FXDD Malta provides that FXDD Malta will pay Nukkleus Limited at minimum $2,000,000 per month. On October 17, 2017, Nukkleus Limited entered into an amendment of the General Service Agreement with FXDD Malta.

FXDIRECT may terminate this agreement upon providing 90 days’ written notice. On October 17, 2017, Nukkleus Limited entered into an amendment of the General Service Agreement with FXDIRECT.

In addition, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of GVS Limited (“Iron BVI”), which is the parent corporation of GVS (AU) Pty Ltd. (“Iron Australia”) for 24,156,000 shares of common stock of the Company. On November 17, 2017, the Company, IBIH, Terra (FX) Offshore Limited, Ludico Investments Limited, Currency Mountain Holdings LLC and the IBIH Shareholders entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Iron Settlement Agreement”) pursuant to which the SPA was terminated, all differences between the parties were resolved and settled and the parties fully released the other parties from any liability.

IBIH agreed to return the 24,156,000 shares of common stock of the Company to the Company for cancellation and to pay the Company $1,000,000. Further, Markos Kashiouris, Petros Economides and Efstathios Christophi resigned as directors of the Company and waived any directorship fees payable to them under their letter of appointment dated August 1, 2016.

NUKKLEUS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – THE COMPANY HISTORY AND NATURE OF THE BUSINESS (continued)

 

On June 3, 2016, the Company agreed to sell to Currency Mountain Holdings Bermuda, Limited (“CMH”) 30,900,000 shares of common stock and 200,000 shares of Series A preferred stock for $2,000,000 in two equal installments. The first closing occurred on June 7, 2016. The second closing was to occur with the closing of the Company’s acquisition of IBIH.

Projected costs of this exchange are approximately $900,000. As of December 31, 2018, approximately $811,000 has been incurred by our affiliates and ownership of the exchange will be transferred to the Company upon completion.

NOTE 2 –  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. The results reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”)

 

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. These accounts were prepared under the accrual basis of accounting. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 20, 2018. The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2018 contained herein has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2018, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

 

NOTE 3 –  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates during the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 include the fair value of the investment in digital currency, valuation of deferred tax assets and the associated valuation allowances.

 

Fair value of financial instruments and fair value measurements

 

The Company adopted the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 for fair value measurements which clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset and paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company utilizes valuation techniques to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their value. Inputs are broadly defined as assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows :

 

Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.

 

  5

 

 

NUKKLEUS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  

NOTE 3 –  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Fair value of financial instruments and fair value measurements (continued)

 

Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.

 

The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash, prepaid expense, deposit on software development, due from affiliates, due to affiliates, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair market value based on the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities.

 

The fair value of the investment in digital currency is determined using the equivalency rate of bitcoin to USD. Digital currency consists of cryptocurrency denominated assets and are included in current assets. The Company revalues such asset at every reporting period and recognizes gain or loss as other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations that are attributable to the change in the fair value of the digital currency.

 

The following table provides the financial assets measured on a recurring basis and reported at fair value on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2018:

 

          Fair value measurement using  
    Carrying value     Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total  
Investment - digital currency   $ 56,252     $ 56,252     $ —       $ —       $ 56,252  

 

The investment in digital currency has a cost of $93,655 net of fees, unrealized loss of $37,403 for the three months ended December 31, 2018, and a fair value of $56,252 at December 31, 2018. The Company did not have any financial asset measured at fair value on a recurring basis on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2018.

 

Concentration of credit risk

 

The Company maintains its cash in bank and financial institution deposits that at times may exceed federally insured limits. At December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018, the Company’s cash balances accounts had approximately $0 and $8,000 in excess of the federally-insured limits, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts through and as of the date of this report.

Deposit on software development

 

In the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company signed an agreement with a third-party for the customization and development of a trading platform to be used by it. In accordance with the signed agreement, the Company made a deposit on software development of $50,000. The project was cancelled in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 and the Company received a subsequent reimbursement of $10,000 of the deposit. As of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018, the remaining deposit of $40,000 was due from the third-party.

Effective October 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09") and other associated standards. Under the new standard, the Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of promised services or goods in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. The Company evaluated the new guidance and its adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements and a cumulative effect adjustment under the modified retrospective method of adoption was not necessary. There is no change to the Company’s accounting policies. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2014-09, the Company recognized revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement existed, delivery occurred, the fee was fixed or determinable, and collectability was reasonably assured.

 

In general, the Company applies the following steps when recognizing revenue from contracts with customers: (i) identify the contract, (ii) identify the performance obligations, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations and (v) recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied. The nature of the Company's contracts with customers relates to the Company's services performed for a related party under a General Service Agreement ("GSA"). There are multiple services provided under the GSA and these performance obligations are combined into a single unit of accounting. Fees are recognized as revenue when the services are completed under the terms of the GSA. Revenue is recorded at gross as the Company is deemed to be a principal in the transactions.

   

Income taxes

 

The Company recorded no income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 because the estimated annual effective tax rate was zero. As of December 31, 2018, the Company continues to provide a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets since the Company believes it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Per share data

 

ASC Topic 260 “Earnings per Share,” requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes dilution. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity .

 

Basic net earnings per share are computed by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities were exercised or converted into common stock or other contracts to issue common stock resulting in the issuance of common stock that would then share in the Company’s earnings subject to anti-dilution limitations. In a period in which the Company has a net loss, all potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted shares outstanding as they would have an anti-dilutive impact. For the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, potentially dilutive common shares consist of common stock issuable upon the conversion of Series A preferred stock (using the if-converted method).

 

The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted net loss per share :

 

    Three Months Ended
December 31, 2018
    Three Months
Ended
December 31, 2017
 
Net loss available to common stockholders for basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock   $ (119,902 )   $ (169,988 )
Weighted average common stock outstanding - basic     230,485,100       242,037,970  
Effect of dilutive securities:                
Series A preferred stock            
Weighted average common stock outstanding - diluted     230,485,100       242,037,970  
Net loss per common share - basic and diluted   $ (0.00 )   $ (0.00 )

 

For the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, a total of 1,250,000 and 5,000,000 shares of common stock from the assumed redemption of the Series A convertible redeemable preferred stock at the contractual floor of $0.20 per share, respectively, have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding as they would have had an anti-dilutive impact.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

 

Effective October 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This ASU addresses the classification of certain specific cash flow issues including debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, settlement of certain debt instruments, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of certain insurance claims and distributions received from equity method investees. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements .

 

Effective October 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The ASU clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or business. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements .

 

Effective October 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting. The guidance clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as modifications. Entities will apply the modification accounting guidance if the value, vesting conditions or classification of the award changes. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements .

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU No. 2018-07 expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The guidance also specifies that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years (quarter ending September 30, 2019 for the Company). Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. The Company will evaluate the effects of adopting ASU 2018-07 if and when it is deemed to be applicable.

 

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

Overview

 

We are a financial technology company which is focused on providing software and technology solutions for the worldwide retail foreign exchange (“FX”) trading industry. We primarily provide our software, technology, customer sales and marketing and risk management technology hardware and software solutions package to FXDD Malta Limited (“FXDD Malta”). The FXDD brand (e.g., see FXDD.com) is the brand utilized in the retail forex trading industry by FXDD Malta .

 

As part of the Assets acquired, we acquired ownership of FOREXWARE, the primary software suite and technology solution which powers the FXDD brand globally today. We also have ownership of the FOREXWARE brand name. We have also acquired ownership of the customer interface and other software trading solutions being used by FXDD.com. By virtue of our relationship with FXDD Malta and FXDirectDealer LLC (“FXDIRECT”), we provide turnkey software and technology solutions for FXDD.com. We offer the customers of FXDD 24 hour, five days a week direct access to the global over the counter (“OTC”) FX market, which is a decentralized market in which participants trade directly with one another, rather than through a central exchange .

 

In an FX trade, participants effectively buy one currency and simultaneously sell another currency, with the two currencies that make up the trade being referred to as a “currency pair”. Our software and technology solutions enable FXDD to present its customers with price quotations on over the counter tradeable instruments, including over the counter currency pairs, and also provide our customers the ability to trade FX derivative contracts on currency pairs through a product referred to as Contracts for Difference (“CFD”). Our software solutions also offer other CFD products, including CFDs on metals, such as gold, and on futures linked to other products .

 

We currently plan to seek for acquisitions that bring shareholder value both in the short term and long term. Our goal is to create an industry leading sector consolidated platform, combining strong global retail and institutional trading flows covering FX, commodities, futures, CFD and equities, with a cutting edge technological product suite, turnkey software and technological development capabilities .

In July 2018, we incorporated Nukkleus Malta Holding Ltd. In July 2018, Nukkleus Malta Holding Ltd. incorporated Nukkleus Exchange Malta Ltd. and is in the processes of incorporating Nukkleus Payments Malta Ltd.  For Nukkleus Payments Malta Ltd., management is currently exploring obtaining an Electronic Money Institution license to facilitate customer payment transactions.  For Nukkleus Exchange Malta Ltd., we seek to create an electronic exchange whereby it facilitates the buying and selling of various digital assets as well as traditional currency pairs used in FX trading.  Currently, Nukkleus Exchange Malta Ltd., is in the process of finalizing the exchange, which has been paid for by related parties. Both entities would be regulated by the Malta Financial Services Authority. For a further discussion, see Liquidity and Capital Resources.

   

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. When making these estimates and assumptions, we consider our historical experience, our knowledge of economic and market factors and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ under different estimates and assumptions.

 

Critical accounting policies are those that require application of management’s most subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2018, except as discussed below.

   

Investment – digital currency

 

Digital currency consists of cryptocurrency denominated assets and are included in current assets. Investment in digital currency is carried at fair market value. Unrealized gain or loss resulting from change the value of the digital currency is recorded in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. Gain and loss realized upon sale of the investment in digital currency are also recorded in other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations.

 

The fair value of the investment in digital currency is determined using the equivalency rate of bitcoin to USD. The Company revalues such asset at every reporting period and recognizes gain or loss as other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations that are attributable to the change in the fair value of the digital currency.

 

Results of Operations

 

Summary of Key Results

 

For the three ended December 31, 2018 versus the three months ended December 31, 2017

 

Revenue and Cost of Revenue

 

Total revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2018 versus the three months ended December 31, 2017 was $4,800,000 and $4,800,000, respectively. Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was from general support services rendered to a related party. 

 

Cost of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2018 versus the three months ended December 31, 2017 was $4,725,000 and $4,725,000, respectively. Cost of revenue represents amount incurred for general support services rendered by a related party. 

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses were mainly third-party and related party professional fees and directors’ compensation.

 

Total operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2018 versus the three months ended December 31, 2017, were $155,989 versus $238,948, respectively. The decrease in operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2018 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2017 was mainly due to the decrease in use of professional services providers, offset by an increase in salary incurred for our newly hired employee .

   

  14

 

Other Expense

 

Other expense includes interest expense on redeemable preferred stock, amortization of debt discount, and unrealized loss recognized from investment - digital currency. Total other expense for the three months ended December 31, 2018 versus the three months ended December 31, 2017, was $38,913 versus $6,040, respectively. The increase in total other expense for the three months ended December 31, 2018 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2017 was primarily due to the increase in unrealized loss recognized from digital currency asset, offset by the decrease in interest expense on redeemable preferred stock and the decrease in amortization of debt discount.

 

As a result of the termination of the IBIH transaction, we and CMH have agreed to enter into that certain Stock Redemption Agreement dated February 13, 2018 providing that 75,000 CMH Preferred Shares were redeemed and cancelled in consideration of $750,000 which occurred on February 13, 2018. Therefore, our interest expense on redeemable preferred stock for the three months ended December 31, 2018 decreased as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2017, and our amount from amortization of debt discount for the three months ended December 31, 2018 decreased as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2017.

 

Net Loss

 

As a result of the factors described above, our net loss was $119,902, or $(0.00) per common share (basic and diluted), for the three months ended December 31, 2018. Our net loss was $169,988, or $(0.00) per common share (basic and diluted), for the three months ended December 31, 2017.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. At December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018, we had cash balances of $126,191 and $257,637, respectively.

 

For the three months ended December 31, 2018, although we incurred a net loss of $119,902, we had a net cash flow used in operating activities of $37,791.

 

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the management of expenses and our ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and pay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, and upon profitable operations.

 

Currently, we are in the process of finalizing the creation an electronic exchange whereby it facilitates the buying and selling of various digital assets as well as traditional currency pairs used in FX trading, which has been paid by related parties. Projected costs of this exchange is approximately $900,000. As of December 31, 2018, approximately $811,000 has already been spent by our affiliates and ownership of the exchange will be transferred to us upon completion.

   

We need to either borrow funds or raise additional capital through equity or debt financings.  However, we cannot be certain that such capital (from our stockholders or third parties) will be available to us or whether such capital will be available on terms that are acceptable to us.   Any such financing likely would be dilutive to existing stockholders and could result in significant financial operating covenants that would negatively impact our business. If we are unable to raise sufficient additional capital on acceptable terms, we will have insufficient funds to operate our business or pursue our planned growth.

 

Cash Flow for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2018 Compared to the Three Months Ended December 31, 2017

 

Net  cash flow used in operating activities was $37,791 for the three months ended December 31, 2018.  These included $119,902 in net loss. Cash flows used in operating activities included changes in operating assets and liabilities totaling $44,136 for the three months ended December 31, 2018.

Net cash flow used in investing activities was $93,655 for the three months ended December 31, 2018. During the three months ended December 31, 2018, we purchased digital currency of $93,655.

  15

 

We did not incur any financing activity during the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

 

Our capital requirements for the next twelve months primarily relate to mergers, acquisitions and the development of business opportunities. In addition, we expect to use cash to pay fees related to professional services. Currently, we are in the process of finalizing the creation an electronic exchange whereby it facilitates the buying and selling of various digital assets as well as traditional currency pairs used in FX trading, which has been paid by related parties. Projected costs of this exchange is approximately $900,000. As of December 31, 2018, approximately $811,000 has already been spent by our affiliates and ownership of the exchange will be transferred to us upon completion. The following trends are reasonably likely to result in a material decrease in our liquidity over the near to long term:

   

  The working capital requirements to finance our current business;
  The use of capital for mergers, acquisitions and the development of business opportunities;
  Addition of personnel as the business grows; and
  The cost of being a public company.

 

We need to either borrow funds or raise additional capital through equity or debt financings.  However, we cannot be certain that such capital (from our stockholders or third parties) will be available to us or whether such capital will be available on terms that are acceptable to us.   Any such financing likely would be dilutive to existing stockholders and could result in significant financial operating covenants that would negatively impact our business. If we are unable to raise sufficient additional capital on acceptable terms, we will have insufficient funds to operate our business or pursue our planned growth.

 

Consistent with Section 144 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, it is our current policy that all transactions between us and our officers, directors and their affiliates will be entered into only if such transactions are approved by a majority of the disinterested directors, are approved by vote of the stockholders, or are fair to us as a corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the board. We will conduct an appropriate review of all related party transactions on an ongoing basis.
