REGENICIN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNREVIEWED)

 

NOTE 1 - THE COMPANY

 

Regenicin, Inc. (“Regenicin”), formerly known as Windstar, Inc., was incorporated in the state of Nevada on September 6, 2007. On July 19, 2010, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company to Regenicin, Inc. In September 2013, Regenicin formed a new wholly owned subsidiary for the sole purpose of conducting research in the State of Georgia (together, the “Company”). The subsidiary has no activity since its formation due to the lack of funding. The Company’s business plan is to develop and commercialize a potentially lifesaving technology by the introduction of tissue-engineered skin substitutes to restore the qualities of healthy human skin for use in the treatment of burns, chronic wounds and a variety of plastic surgery procedures.

 

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Interim Financial Statements:

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of those of a recurring nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2021. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2020, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020 contained herein has been derived from the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2020, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

 

Going Concern:

 

The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred recurring losses and as of December 31, 2020, has an accumulated deficit of approximately $14.8 million from inception, expects to incur further losses in the development of its business and has been dependent on funding operations through the issuance of convertible debt and private sale of equity securities. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Currently management plans to finance operations through the private or public placement of debt and/or equity securities. However, no assurance can be given at this time as to whether the Company will be able to obtain such financing. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. 

 

  F-5  

 

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurement:

 

As of October 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments-Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. The new standard principally affects accounting standards for equity investments, financial liabilities where the fair value option has been elected, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. Upon the effective date of the new standards, all equity investments in unconsolidated entities, other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting, will generally be measured at fair value through earnings. There no longer is an available-for-sale classification and therefore, no changes in fair value will be reported in other comprehensive income (loss) for equity securities with readily determinable fair values. As a result of the adoption, the Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment of a $950 decrease to accumulated other comprehensive income, and a corresponding decrease to accumulated deficit, as of October 1, 2018.

 

Common stock of Amarantus BioScience Holdings, Inc. (“Amarantus”) is carried at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Fair value is determined under the guidelines of GAAP which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Realized gains and losses, determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, and unrealized gains and losses are included in other income (expense) on the statement of operations.

 

The common stock of Amarantus is valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the security is traded. This valuation methodology is considered to be using Level 1 inputs. The total value of Amarantus common stock at December 31, 2020 is $2,000. The change in unrealized loss for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $775 and $1,225, net of income taxes, respectively, and was reported as other income (expense). 

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:

 

Any recent pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative standards groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to be significant to the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

 

NOTE 3 - LOSS PER SHARE

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to dilutive convertible securities, options, warrants and other potential common stock outstanding during the period; only in periods in which such effect is dilutive.

 

The following weighted average securities have been excluded from the calculation of net loss per share for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 as the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares:

 

    2020   2019
Options       —         1,568,022  

 

The following weighted average securities have been excluded from the calculation even though the exercise price was less than the average market price of the common shares because the effect of including these potential shares was anti-dilutive due to the net losses incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019:

 

  2020   2019
Options   11,771,344       —    
Convertible Preferred Stock   8,850,000       8,850,000  
Convertible Promissory Note   22,084,408       —    
    42,705,752       8,850,000  

  

The effects of options and warrants on diluted earnings per share are reflected through the use of the treasury stock method and the excluded shares that are “in the money” are disclosed above in that manner.

 

  F-6  

 

NOTE 4 - LOANS PAYABLE

 

Convertible Promissory Note - Officer:

Through September 30, 2019, John Weber, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, advanced the Company a total of $238,133. From October 2019 through December 31, 2020, he advanced an additional $97,550 for a total of $335,683. On December 31, 2020, these advances were converted into a convertible promissory note. Interest on the note is computed at 5% per annum and accrues from the time of the advances until the maturity date. The maturity date was September 30, 2020, at which time all the accrued interest and principal became due. The note has been extended to March 31, 2021. For the three months ended December 31, 2020 interest totaling $3,874 was incurred. As of December 31, 2020, a total of $33,426 of interest was incurred and accrued. The note is convertible at the option of Mr. Weber into shares of the Company's common stock at the prevailing market rate on the date of conversion

 

Loan Payable:

 

In February 2011, an investor advanced $10,000. The loan does not bear interest and is due on demand. At both December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, the loan payable totaled $10,000.

 

Loans Payable - Officer:

 

Through December 31, 2020, John Weber, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, advanced to the Company $37,100. The loan does not bear interest and is due on demand

 

Through September 30, 2020, J. Roy Nelson, the Company’s Chief Science Officer, made net advances to the Company totaling $26,935. The loans do not bear interest and are due on demand.

 

In September 2018, Randall McCoy, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, advanced to the Company $4,500. The loan does not bear interest and is due on demand.

 

NOTE 5 - BRIDGE FINANCING

 

On December 21, 2011, the Company issued a $150,000 promissory note to an individual. The note bore interest so that the Company would repay $175,000 on the maturity date of June 21, 2012. Additional interest of 10% was charged on any late payments. The note was not paid at the maturity date and the Company is incurring additional interest as described above. At both December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, the note balance was $175,000. Interest expense was $4,411 for both quarters ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. Accrued interest on the note was $144,938 and $149,938 as of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, respectively, and is included in Accrued expenses - other in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. 

 

NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES

 

The Company recorded no income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 because the estimated annual effective tax rate was zero. As of December 31, 2020, 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.

 

  F-7  

 

NOTE 7 - STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIENCY

 

Preferred Stock:

 

Series A

 

At both December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019, 885,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”) were outstanding.

 

Series A Preferred pays a dividend of 8% per annum on the stated value and has a liquidation preference equal to the stated value of the shares ($885,000 liquidation preference as of December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019 plus dividends in arrears as per below). Each share of Series A Preferred Stock has an initial stated value of $1 and is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the rate of 10 for 1.

 

The Series A Preferred Stock was marketed through a private placement memorandum that included a reference to a ratchet provision which would have allowed the holders of the stock to claim a better conversion rate based on other stock transactions conducted by the Company during the three-year period following the original issuance of the shares. The Certificate of Designation does not contain a ratchet provision. Certain of the stock related transactions consummated by the Company during this time period may have triggered this ratchet provision, and thus created a claim by holders of the Series A Preferred Stock who purchased based on this representation for a greater conversion rate than initially provided. There have been no new developments related to the remaining Series A holders regarding this claim and the conversion rate of their Series A Preferred Stock. Changes to the preferred stock conversion ratio may result in modification or extinguishment accounting. That may result in a deemed preferred stock dividend which would reduce net income available to common stockholders in the calculation of earnings per share. Certain of the smaller Series A holders have already converted or provided notice of conversion of their shares. In respect of this claim, the Company and its outside counsel determined that it is not possible to offer an opinion regarding the outcome. An adverse outcome could materially increase the accumulated deficit.

 

The dividends are cumulative commencing on the issue date when and if declared by the Board of Directors. As of December 31, 2020, and September 30, 2020, dividends in arrears were $694,275 ($.78 per share) and $676,430 ($.76 per share), respectively.

 

Series B

 

Four million shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred”) have been authorized with a liquidation preference of $2.00 per share. Each share of Series B Preferred is convertible into ten shares of common stock. Holders of Series B Preferred have a right to a dividend (pro-rata to each holder) based on a percentage of the gross revenue earned by the Company in the United States, if any, and the number of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred, as follows: Year 1 - Total Dividend to all Series B holders = .03 x Gross Revenue in the U.S. Year 2 - Total Dividend to all Series B holders = .02 x Gross Revenue in the U.S. Year 3 - Total Dividend to all Series B holders = .01 x Gross Revenue in the U.S. At December 31, 2020, no shares of Series B Preferred are outstanding.

 

  F-8  

 

NOTE 8 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with FASB ASC 505, “Equity.” Costs are measured at the estimated fair value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earlier of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by ASC 505.

 

NOTE 9 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Company’s principal executive offices are located in Little Falls, New Jersey. The headquarters is located in the offices of McCoy Enterprises LLC, an entity controlled by Mr. McCoy. The office is attached to his residence but has its own entrances, restroom and kitchen facilities.


The Company also maintains an office at Carbon & Polymer Research Inc. ("CPR") in Pennington, New Jersey, which is the Company's materials and testing laboratory. An officer of the Company is an owner of CPR.

 

No rent is charged for either premises.

 

On May 16, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with CPR in which CPR will supply the collagen scaffolds used in the Company's production of the skin tissue. The contract contains a most favored customer clause guaranteeing the Company prices equal or lower than those charged to other customers. The Company has not yet made purchases from CPR.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe-harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Further information concerning our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included herein and in our other filings with the SEC.

 

Overview

  

During the quarter ended, December 31, 2019, the Company continued to position its product, NovaDerm®, to enter clinical trials to gain FDA product approval. Having secured Orphan Drug Designation as a biologic for NovaDerm®, we complied with the FDA annual reporting requirements. In addition, as part of an asset purchase agreement, we granted Amarantus Bioscience Holdings, Inc., a right of first refusal for the purchase of any engineered skin technology designed for treatment of severe burns in humans that we developed. This right of first refusal expired during this quarter on November 7, 2019. 

 

Recently, the risk of introducing pathogens when using materials from animals to produce drugs, devices, and biologics has increased awareness of the safety issues. NovaDerm® and future Regenicin products use animal sourced materials like collagen to produce the life-saving products. We have worked with our collagen supplier and the FDA to ensure we are meeting the expectations for traceability and purity of the FDA for NovaDerm® production.  We have arranged for sufficient Bovine Closed Herd corium to produce sufficient collagen scaffolds to meet our needs for the clinical trials, ensuring compliance with FDA requirements. 

 

Our major objective for 2021 is to secure the required funding to finalize some additional requirements of the IND application and begin the clinical trials. As previously reported, our goal in obtaining the required funding has been to minimize shareholders’ dilution as much as possible. Consequently, we are primarily pursuing financing through the issuance of debt instruments, international licensing agreements and governmental grants. We have completed all the administrative requirements to allow us to apply for grants. Regenicin is now registered with System For Award Management (“SAM”) which is required to do business with the US Government.  We must have our IND submitted before we can request financial assistance from The US FDA Office of Orphan Products Clinical Trials Grant. We intend to take full advantage of working with OOPD to develop our clinical protocol according to suggestions from the FDA during our Pre-IND meeting.

 

The Orphan Drug Act created the Orphan Product Grants Program, which is administered by OOPD, to stimulate the development of promising products for rare diseases and conditions. Orphan product grants are a proven method of fostering and encouraging the development of new safe and effective medical products for rare diseases and conditions. These grants support new and continuing extramural research projects that test the safety and efficacy of promising new drugs, biologics, devices, and medical foods through human clinical trials in very vulnerable populations often with life-threatening conditions.

As a registered member of SAM we will be investigating numerous government programs to seek developmental funding needed to complete our IND.

 

We estimated that the completion of the IND and the clinical trials would take approximately 12-18 months and cost in the range of $6.9 million once initial funding is in place. It is estimated that the cost to finalize the IND will be approximately 1.9 million, and the cost to complete Phase 1/2 of the clinical trial will be approximately 5.0 million. In addition to the completion of the IND, the only other significant gating item to entering the clinical trials is funding for this process.

 

Two board positions remain open anticipating requests of Board representation from potential investors.

 

Importantly, we are filing this quarterly report without our auditor’s review of our financial information or this report. Our reason for doing this is simply that we cannot afford at this time to pay our auditor for past due services or prior filings or to pay the costs necessary for this current filing. Instead, we have provided herein information as typically presented in our 10Q quarterly report, including financial information, which has not been reviewed or audited by any independent outside source.

 

We intend, if and when able, to file an amendment to this 10Q and previously filed 10K with such audited and reviewed information. We are unaware at this time when, if ever, we will obtain the necessary funding for this amended filing, but we will continue to provide such information to investors as and when we are able through either this SEC EDGAR filing process and/or through postings on our website as things change.

 

We are continuing to work with potential investors in order to pursue the necessary funding based on our stated objectives. It has taken longer to raise the funds than originally estimated; however, we remain confident that our goal is achievable. In the interim, the officers and related parties intend to continue to fund our essential operating costs as they have in the past, as disclosed in the accompanying financial statement.

 

In preparation of the IND application, we will continue, subject to funding, to develop the testing suggested by the FDA during the Pre-IND meeting. Our scaffold supplier continues to introduce the FDA suggested testing on collagen processing which addresses Bovine Closed Herd requirements for the tighter safety and traceability of the collagen scaffolds used to produce NovaDerm®. Our scaffold supplier is close to entering a contract for ASTM-F2212 testing of Type I collagen. We continue discussions and evaluation of possible clinical trial sites for NovaDerm®. Our discussions have confirmed that patient recruitment and enrollment should be faster and less complicated than other clinical trials because of our Orphan Designation. In addition, the surgical protocol will be similar to the grafting procedures currently in use at those limited burn center facilities, NovaDerm® should thus require minimal physician training and documentation to complete the clinical trial.

 

Subject to funding, the initial trials are planned to begin with a total of ten subjects and an Initial Data Safety Monitoring Board, (DSMB), review of safety on the first three subjects once they have reached 6 months follow-up. We do not intend to interrupt our trial waiting for the DSMB report. Our management’s approach is to set up the trials so as to allow for a seamless transition into commercial production upon approval. 

 

Our first cultured skin substitute product candidate, NovaDerm®, is a multi-layered tissue-engineered living skin prepared by utilizing autologous (patient’s own) skin cells. It is a graftable cultured epithelium skin substitute containing both epidermal and dermal components with a collagen base. Clinically, we expect our Cultured Skin substitute self-to-self skin graft product will perform the same as split thickness allograft skin. Our Autologous cultured skin substitute should not be rejected by the immune system of the patient, unlike porcine or cadaver cellular grafts. Immune system rejection is a serious concern in Xeno-transplant procedures which have a cellular component. The use of our cultured skin substitute should not require any specialized physician training because it is applied the same as in a standard split thickness allograft procedure.

 

NovaDerm® does not require the large harvest areas that are required when performing split thickness allograft procedures. NovaDerm® is designed to need only a small area of harvest material to cover the wound. Where split thickness allograft skin can be stretched 2 to 4 times, NovaDerm® can expand the coverage 100 to 400 times, greatly reducing scarring from harvesting. There are limits to how much burned area can be covered with the current split thickness allograft procedure. When a patient has more than 50% of their body with full thickness burns there is not enough harvest area available to cover the area so the same area harvested must be allowed to grow back the replacement skin before it can be harvested the second or third time, allowing to wound area to open with high risk of infection and even mortality.

 

Clinically speaking, a product designed to treat a life-threatening condition must be available for the patient when needed. Our Culture skin substitute is being developed to be ready to apply to the patient when the patient is ready for grafting, within the first month of the patient being admitted to the hospital. Patients with serious burn injuries may not be in a condition to be grafted on a predefined schedule made more than a month in advance. Therefore, in order to accommodate the patient’s needs, we are striving to ensure that our cultured skin substitute will have an adequate shelf life and manufacturing schedule to ensure it is available whether the patient needs it the first month, or any day after, until the patient’s wound is completely covered and closed. We intend to provide the patient enough NovaDerm® to meet the patients’ needs in a single lot of material with adequate shelf life to be available when the patient is ready. With our extended shelf life and enough material in the first shipment the physician may perform a second grafting 5 or ten days post grafting period 1.

Our second product is anticipated to be TempaDerm®. TempaDerm® uses cells obtained from human donors to develop banks of cryo-preserved (frozen) cells and cultured skin substitute to provide a continuous supply of non-allogenic skin substitutes to treat much smaller wound areas on patients, such as ulcers. This product is expected to have applications in the treatment of chronic skin wounds such as diabetic ulcers, decubitus ulcers and venous stasis ulcers. This product is also expected to be similar to our burn indication product, except for the indications, and it will not depend totally on autologous cells. In fact, it may be possible to use the excess cultured skin that was originally produced for use on the patient that donated the cells used to grow the skin. Hopefully, TempaDerm® will be able to take this original cultured skin and use it on someone other than the original donor. As currently planned, TempaDerm® has the possibility of using banked cells, or even frozen cultured skin substitutes, to carry inventory to satisfy unknown needs or large volumes to meet the demands created in large scale disasters. Because of our focus to date on NovaDerm®, we have taken only limited steps toward the development of TempaDerm®. We may also decellularize TempaDerm® or NovaDerm® to make collagen wound coverings containing all the natural growth promoters found in skin.

 

We believe this technology has many different uses beyond the burn indication. The other uses may include chronic wounds, reconstructive surgery, other complex organs and tissues. Some of the individual components of our planned cultured skin substitute technology is expected to be developed for devices, such as tendon wraps made of collagen or collagen temporary coverings of large area wounds to protect the patients from infections while waiting for the permanent skin substitute. The collagen technology used for cultured skin substitutes, as designed, is expected to be used for many different applications in wound healing and stem cell technology and even drug delivery systems.

 

We could pursue any or all of the indications simultaneously if financing permitted, but for now we will seek approval for burns first as an Orphan Biologic Product to establish significant safety data and then Biological License Approval. 

 

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

 

We generated no revenues from September 6, 2007 (date of inception) to December 31, 2020. We do not expect to generate revenues until we are able to obtain FDA approval of our product and thereafter successfully market and sell the product.

 

We incurred operating expenses of $150,818 for the three months ended December 31, 2020, compared with operating expenses of $192,350 for the three months ended December 31, 2019. General and Administrative expenses accounted for all of our operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2020. The major difference and shift in operating expenses from the three months ended December 31, 2020 was accounted for by lower General and Administrative expenses.

 

Net other expense was $9,060 for the three months ended December 31, 2020, as compared to net other expense of $5,636 for the three months ended December 31, 2019. Other expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2020 consisted of interest expense of $8,285 and an unrealized loss on securities of $775. Other income and expense for the same period ended 2019 consisted of interest expense of $4,411, and an unrealized loss on securities of $1,225.

 

After provision for preferred stock dividends of $17,845, we recorded net loss of $177,723 for the three months ended December 31, 2020. By comparison, we recorded net loss of $215,831 for the three months ended December 31, 2019. Our net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 was primarily the result of General and Administrative expenses of $150,818.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2020, we had cash of $1,373 and total current assets of $3,373. As of December 31, 2020, we had current liabilities of $4,450,527. We therefore had working capital deficit of $4,447,154.

 

Operating activities used $11,193 in cash for the three months ended December 31, 2020. This use of cash was primarily attributable to funding the loss for the period.

 

There were no investing activities during the reported period.

 

Cash flows from financing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2020 represent net proceeds from a loan from John Weber, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer of $11,200.

We have issued various promissory notes to meet our short term demands, the terms of which are provided in the notes to the consolidated financial statements accompanying this report. While this source of bridge financing has been helpful in the short term to meet our financial obligations, we will need additional financing to fund our operations, continue with the FDA approval process, and implement our business plan. Our long term financial needs are estimated at about $8-10 million.

Based upon our current financial condition, we do not have sufficient cash to operate our business at the current level for the next twelve months. We intend to fund operations through increased debt and/or equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund expenditures or other cash requirements. We plan to seek additional financing in a private equity or debt offering to secure funding for operations. Alternatively, we have been discussing the possibility of obtaining financing through a merger and/or other arrangements related to combining with other related companies or going private transactions. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional funding or in entering into any of these sorts of arrangements. If we are not able to secure additional funding, the implementation of our business plan will be impaired. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of December 31, 2020, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Going Concern

 

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred operating losses from inception, expect to incur further losses in the development of our business, and have been dependent on funding operations through the issuance of convertible debt and private sale of equity securities. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans include continuing to finance operations through the private or public placement of debt and/or equity securities and the reduction of expenditures. However, no assurance can be given at this time as to whether we will be able to achieve these objectives. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of December 31, 2019. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the presence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.

 

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. Management has identified the following material weaknesses which have caused management to conclude that, as of December 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines.

 

Remediation Plan to Address the Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

We plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal controls over financial reporting. During the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending September 30, 2021 assuming we are able to obtain necessary funding or alternative financing: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.

 

We are unable to remedy our controls related to the inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management until we receive financing to hire additional employees. 

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended December 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
