CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements discuss matters that are not historical facts. Because they discuss future events or conditions, forward-looking statements may include words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “may,” “seek,” “plan,” “might,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “predict,” “project,” “forecast,” “potential,” “continue” negatives thereof or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, are based on various underlying assumptions and current expectations about the future and are not guarantees. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievement to be materially different from the results of operations or plans expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

 

We cannot predict all the risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, such information should not be regarded as representations that the results or conditions described in such statements or that our objectives and plans will be achieved, and we do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are found at various places throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and include information concerning possible or assumed future results of our operations, including statements about potential acquisition or merger targets; business strategies; future cash flows; financing plans; plans and objectives of management; any other statements regarding future acquisitions, future cash needs, future operations, business plans and future financial results, and any other statements that are not historical facts.

 

These forward-looking statements represent our intentions, plans, expectations, assumptions and beliefs about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors. Many of those factors are outside of our control and could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements. Considering these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events described in the forward-looking statements might not occur or might occur to a different extent or at a different time than we have described. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning other matters addressed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Except to the extent required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, a change in events, conditions, circumstances or assumptions underlying such statements, or otherwise.

Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For The Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

 

(1) Organization and Business Description

 

AmpliTech Group, Inc. (“AmpliTech” or “the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 30, 2010. On August 13, 2012, the Company acquired AmpliTech, Inc., by issuing 833,750 shares of the Company’s common stock to the shareholders of AmpliTech, Inc. in exchange for 100% of the outstanding shares of AmpliTech Inc. (the “Share Exchange”). After the Share Exchange, the selling shareholders owned 60,000 shares of the outstanding 889,250 shares of Company common stock, resulting in a change in control. Accordingly, the transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition in which AmpliTech, Inc. was deemed to be the accounting acquirer, and the operations of the Company were consolidated for accounting purposes. The capital balances have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse acquisition.

The COVID-19 Pandemic

 

The global health crisis caused by the novel coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic and its resurgences has and may continue to negatively impact global economic activity, which, despite progress in vaccination efforts, remains uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence. In addition, variants of COVID-19, including Delta and Omicron, continue to emerge, the impact of which cannot be predicted at this time, and could depend on numerous factors, including vaccination rates among the population, the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines against COVID-19 variants along with the response by governmental bodies and regulators. Given the ongoing and dynamic nature of the circumstances, it is difficult to predict the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. Many countries around the world have continued to impose quarantines and restrictions on travel and mass gatherings to slow the spread of the virus. Accordingly, our ability to continue to operate our business may also be limited. Such events may result in a period of business, supply and manufacturing disruptions, and in reduced operations, any of which could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. A continuation or worsening of the levels of market disruption and volatility seen in the recent past could have an adverse effect on our ability to access capital, which could in the future negatively affect our liquidity. In addition, a recession or market correction resulting from the spread of COVID-19 could materially affect our business and the value of our common stock. We continue to monitor the impacts of COVID-19 on the global economy and on our business operations. Although we expect the vaccinations for COVID-19 will continue to improve conditions, the ultimate impact from COVID-19 on our business operations and financial results will depend on, among other things, the ultimate severity and scope of the pandemic, including the new variants of the virus, the pace at which governmental and private travel restrictions and public concerns about public gatherings will ease, the rate at which historically large increases in unemployment rates will decrease, if at all, and whether, and the speed with which, the economy recovers. We are not able to fully quantify the impact that these factors will have on our business, but developments related to COVID-19 may materially affect financial condition and results of operations in future periods.

For The Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

 

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes related thereto for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 included in Form 10-K filed with the SEC filed on March 31, 2022.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 for the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers deposits that can be redeemed on demand and investments and marketable securities that have original maturities of less than three months, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were deposited in four financial institutions.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Trade accounts receivables are recorded at the net invoice value and are not interest bearing.

 

The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company’s estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of accounts receivable. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change in the future. An allowance of $39,380 has been recorded at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Employee Retention Credit

 

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) provided an employee retention credit which was a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes. New legislation amended the employee retention credit to be equal to 70% of qualified wages paid to employees after December 31, 2020, and before January 1, 2022. During calendar year 2021, a maximum of $10,000 in qualified wages for each employee per qualifying calendar quarter may be counted in determining the 70% credit. Therefore, the maximum tax credit that can be claimed by an eligible employer is $7,000 per employee per qualifying calendar quarter of 2021. The Company qualifies for the employee retention credit for quarters that experience a significant decline in gross receipts, defined as quarterly gross receipts that are less than 80 percent of its gross receipts for the same calendar quarter in 2019. The Company qualified for the credit beginning on January 1, 2021 and received credits for qualified wages through June 30, 2021. The Company recorded, as Other Receivable, an employee retention credit totaling $201,215 at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

 

Marketable Securities

 

The Company’s investments in marketable securities are classified based on the nature of the securities and their availability for use in current operations. The Company’s marketable securities are stated at fair value with all realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments in marketable equity securities recognized in other income, net. The realized and unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities are determined using specific identification method.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories, which consist primarily of raw materials, work in progress and finished goods, is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market (net realizable value).

 

Inventory quantities and related values are analyzed at the end of each fiscal quarter to determine those items that are slow moving and obsolete. An inventory reserve is recorded for those items determined to be slow moving with a corresponding charge to cost of goods sold. Inventory items that are determined obsolete are written off currently with a corresponding charge to cost of goods sold.

 

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the reserve for inventory obsolescence was $1,035,986 and $1,031,986, respectively.

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

 

Property and equipment are depreciated as follows:

Useful Life

 

Method

 

Office equipment

 

7 years

 

Straight-line

 

Machinery/shop equipment

 

5 to 10 years

 

Straight-line

 

Computer equipment/software

 

1 to 7 years

 

Straight-line

 

Vehicles

 

5 years

 

Straight-line

 

 

Long-lived assets

 

Long lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to; significant decrease in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses, or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset, and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed of significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.

 

Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount of fair value less costs to sell and would no longer be depreciated. The depreciable basis of assets that are impaired and continue in use is their respective fair values.

Investment Policy-Cost Method

 

Investments consist of non-controlling equity investments in privately held companies. The Company elected the measurement alternative for these investments without readily determinable fair values and for which the Company does not control or have the ability to exercise considerable influence over operating and financial policies. These investments are accounted for under the cost method of accounting. Under the cost method of accounting, the non-marketable equity securities are carried at cost less any impairment, adjusted for observable price changes of similar investments of the same issuer. Fair value is not estimated for these investments if there are no identified events or changes in circumstances that may influence the fair value of the investment. Under this method, the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of such investee companies is not included in the consolidated balance sheet or consolidated statements of operations. The Company held $350,000 of investments without readily determinable fair values at March 31, 2022 (see Note 10). These investments are included in other long-term assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. There were no indicators of impairment during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

   

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets include goodwill, trademarks, intellectual property and customer base acquired through the asset purchases of Specialty and Spectrum. The Company accounts for Other Intangible Assets under the guidance of ASC 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other.” Under the guidance, other intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested annually for impairment. Goodwill is not amortized. We test goodwill balances for impairment annually at December 31 or whenever impairment indicators arise.

 

Leases

 

We lease property and equipment under finance and operating leases. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, we record the related asset and obligation at the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company has elected not to separate lease and non-lease components for all property leases for the purpose of calculating ROU assets and lease liabilities. Many of our leases include rental escalation clauses, renewal options and/or termination options that are factored into our determination of lease payments when appropriate. When available, we use the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of our leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, we must estimate our incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis considering such factors as lease term and economic environment risks.

Revenue Recognition

 

We sell our products through a combination of a direct sales force in the United States and independent sales representatives in international markets. Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods based on the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for these goods. This core principle is achieved through the following steps:

 

Identify the contract with the customer. A contract with a customer exists when (i) we enter into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the goods to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these goods, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) we determine that collection of substantially all consideration for services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. We do not have significant costs to obtain contracts with customers. For commissions on product sales, we have elected the practical expedient to expense the costs as incurred.

 

Identify the performance obligations in the contract. Our contracts with customers do not include multiple performance obligations to be completed over a period.

 

Our performance obligations relate to delivering single-use products to a customer, subject to the shipping terms of the contract. Limited warranties are provided, under which we typically accept returns and provide either replacement parts or refunds.

 

We do not have significant returns. We do not typically offer extended warranty or service plans.

 

Determine the transaction price. Payment by the customer is due under customary fixed payment terms, and we evaluate if collectability is reasonably assured. None of our contracts as of March 31, 2022 contained a significant financing component. Revenue is recorded at the net sales price, which includes estimates of variable consideration such as product returns, rebates, discounts, and other adjustments. The estimates of variable consideration are based on historical payment experience, historical and projected sales data, and current contract terms. Variable consideration is included in revenue only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Taxes collected from customers relating to product sales and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from revenues.

 

Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract. We typically do not have multiple performance obligations in our contracts with customers. As such, we generally recognize revenue upon transfer of the product to the customer's control at contractually stated pricing.

 

Recognize revenue when or as we satisfy a performance obligation. We generally satisfy performance obligations at a point in time upon either shipment or delivery of goods, in accordance with the terms of each contract with the customer. We do not have significant service revenue.

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenditures are charged to operations as incurred. The major components of research and development costs include consultants, outside service, and supplies.

 

The Company has begun its research and development into the next generation of 5G/6G subsystems for cellular and satellite communications. The Company is in the process of designing and developing antennas and subsystems that will be an integral part of the GPS and 5G infrastructure. These subsystems will enable high-speed, high capacity 5G/6G networks that will be installed into infrastructure for retrofitting and improving connectivity for cellphones, satellites and many other everyday applications.

 

In 2021, the Company opened a MMIC chip design center in Texas and has started to implement several of its proprietary amplifier designs into MMIC components. MMICs, or monolithic microwave integrated circuits, are semiconductor chips used in high-frequency communications applications. MMIC’s are widely desired for power amplification solutions to service emerging technologies such as phased array antennas and quantum computing. MMIC’s carry a smaller footprint enabling them to be incorporated into a broader array of systems while reducing costs by eliminating connectors and skilled labor.

 

Research and development costs for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were $413,303 and $7,229, respectively. For financial reporting purposes, research and development costs of $7,229 was reclassed from selling and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of certain assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified according to the financial statement classification of the assets and liabilities generating the differences. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The ASC prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The ASC provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. At March 31, 2022, the Company had no material unrecognized tax benefits.

Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) are determined by dividing the net earnings by the weighted-average number of shares of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares used in the basic EPS calculation plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive securities outstanding under the treasury stock method. As of March 31, 2021, there were 1,415,342 potentially dilutive shares that need to be considered as common share equivalents. Options and warrants were not included in the dilutive earnings per share calculation as their strike price was above the average share price as of March 31, 2022.

   

The computation of weighted average shares outstanding and the basic and diluted earnings per share consisted of the following:

Fair Value Measurements

 

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that could be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Financial assets are marked to bid prices and financial liabilities are marked to offer prices. Fair value measurements do not include transaction costs. A fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  The fair value hierarchy is defined in the following three categories:

 

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

 

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs available at the measurement date, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data and reflect the use of significant management judgment.

Cash and cash equivalents, receivables, inventory, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and customer deposits approximate fair value, due to their short-term nature. The carrying value of notes payable and short and long-term debt also approximates fair value since these instruments bear market rates of interest.

 

Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis relate primarily to long-lived assets, intangible assets, and goodwill, which are remeasured when the derived fair value is below carrying value in the consolidated balance sheets.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued and are recognized over the employees required service period, which is generally the vesting period.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable

 

Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $14,779,545 and $17,018,874 in excess of the FDIC insured limit, respectively.

 

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for potential credit losses. Therefore, management does not believe significant credit risks exist at March 31, 2022.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. This ASU amends ASC 805 to require acquiring entities to apply ASC 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in business combinations. The ASU is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has not completed its assessment of the standard but does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

We do not expect the adoption of these or other recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operation, financial position or cash flow.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read along with our financial statements and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion and analysis contain forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ significantly from the results, expectations and plans discussed in these forward-looking statements.

 

Business Overview

 

AmpliTech Group Inc. (“AMPG,” “AmpliTech” or the “Company”), incorporated in 2010 in the state of Nevada, is the parent company of its subsidiary AmpliTech, Inc., and AMPG’s divisions Specialty Microwave, Spectrum Semiconductor Materials, and AmpliTech Group MMIC Design Center (“AGMDC”).

 

AmpliTech Inc. designs, engineers and assembles micro-wave component-based amplifiers that meet individual customer specifications. Our products consist of RF amplifiers and related subsystems, operating at multiple frequencies from 50kHz to 44GHz, including low noise amplifiers (“LNA”), medium power amplifiers, cryogenic amplifiers, and custom assembly designs for the global satellite communications, telecom (5G & IoT), space, defense, and quantum computing markets. We also offer non-recurring engineering services on a project-by-project basis, for a predetermined fixed contractual amount, or on a time plus material basis. We have both domestic and international customers in such industries as aerospace, governmental, defense and commercial satellite.

 

Specialty Microwave designs and manufactures state-of- the-art precision SATCOM microwave components, RF subsystems and specialized electronic assemblies for the military and commercial markets, flexible and rugged waveguides, wave guide adapters and more.

 

AGMDC designs, develops and manufactures state-of-the-art signal processing components for satellite and 5G communications networks, defense, space and other commercial applications, allowing the Company to market its products to wider base of customers requiring high technology in smaller packages.

 

On November 19, 2021, AMPG entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Spectrum Semiconductor Materials Inc. (“SSM”), a globally authorized distributor of integrated circuit (IC) packaging and lids for semiconductor device assembly, prototyping, testing, and production requirements founded in 1990 and headquartered in San Jose, CA, pursuant to which AMPG acquired substantially all of the assets of the Company (the Acquisition). The Acquisition was completed on December 15, 2021.

 

In 2021, the Company opened a monolithic microwave integrated circuits (“MMIC”) chip design center in Texas and has started to implement several of its proprietary amplifier designs into MMIC components. MMICs are semiconductor chips used in high-frequency communications applications. MMICs are widely desired for power amplification solutions to service emerging technologies, such as phased array antennas and quantum computing. MMICs carry a smaller footprint enabling them to be incorporated into a broader array of systems while reducing costs.

Our mission is to patent our proprietary IP and trade secrets that were used in small volume niche markets and expand our capabilities through strategic partnerships, joint ventures, mergers/acquisitions with key industry leaders in the 5G/6G, quantum computing, and cybersecurity markets. We believe this will enable us to scale up our products and revenue by developing full systems and subsystems with our unique technology as a core component, which we expect will position us as a global leader in these rapidly emerging technology sectors and addresses large volume markets as well, such as cellphone handsets, laptops, server networks, and many other applications that improve everyday quality of life.

 

The Company’s research and development initiative to expand its product line of low noise amplifiers to include its new 5G and wireless infrastructure products and MMIC designs is progressing significantly. Our combined engineering and manufacturing resources are expected to complement the development of new subsystems for satellite, wireless, and 5G infrastructures, as well as advanced military and commercial markets.

Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Assumptions

 

The SEC defines critical accounting policies as those that are, in management’s view, most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and those that require significant judgments and estimates.

 

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates including the allowance for doubtful accounts, the salability and recoverability of inventory, income taxes and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form our basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company believes there have been no significant changes during the three month period ended March 31, 2022, to the items disclosed as critical accounting policies in management’s discussion and analysis in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

We cannot predict what future laws and regulations might be passed that could have a material effect on our results of operations. We assess the impact of significant changes in laws and regulations on a regular basis and update the assumptions and estimates used to prepare our financial statements when we deem it necessary.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report.
