THE GRILLED CHEESE TRUCK, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2013

 

1.Nature of Business

 

TRIG Acquisition 1, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 31, 2009 as GSP-1, Inc. The Company was formed as a vehicle to pursue a business combination. On July 6, 2011, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to change its name from “GSP-1, Inc.” to “TRIG Acquisition 1, Inc.”

 

On October 18, 2012, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) by and among (i) the Company, (ii) Grilled Cheese, Inc., a California corporation, (“Grilled Cheese”), (iii) GCT, Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“GCT Sub”); (iv) David Danhi, the majority shareholder of Grilled Cheese (“Majority Shareholder”) and (v) Michelle Grant, the minority shareholder of Grilled Cheese (“Minority Shareholder”, together with the Majority Shareholder, the “Grilled Cheese Shareholders”). Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement: (1) the Majority Shareholder transferred to GCT Sub all of the shares of Grilled Cheese held by such shareholder in exchange for the issuance of 4,275,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”); and (2) the Minority Shareholder transferred all of the shares of Grilled Cheese held by the Minority Shareholder in exchange for $500,000 and 845,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Share Exchange Transaction”).

 

The Share Exchange Transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition of the Company, by Grilled Cheese but in substance as a capital transaction, rather than a business combination since the Company had nominal operations and assets prior to and as of the closing of the Share Exchange Transaction. The former stockholders of Grilled Cheese represent a significant constituency of the Company’s voting power immediately following the Share Exchange Transaction and Grilled Cheese’s management has assumed operational, financial and governance control. The transaction is deemed a reverse recapitalization and the accounting is similar to that resulting from a reverse acquisition. For accounting purposes Grilled Cheese is treated as the surviving entity and accounting acquirer in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations although the Company was the legal acquirer. Accordingly, the Company’s historical financial statements are those of Grilled Cheese. The accumulated losses of Grilled Cheese were carried forward after the completion of the Share Exchange Transaction.

 

All reference to Common Stock and per share amounts have been restated to effect the Share Exchange Transaction which occurred on October 18, 2012.

 

On February 19, 2013, following the Share Exchange Transaction, the Company changed its corporate name from “TRIG Acquisition 1, Inc.” to “The Grilled Cheese Truck, Inc.”

 

The Company is a food truck operation that sells various types of gourmet grilled cheese and other comfort foods in the Southern California and Phoenix, Arizona areas. The Company’s food trucks currently make multiple stops per week at prearranged locations. The food preparation occurs at a commissary which supports streamlined operations within the truck by limiting assembly and grilling, allowing the truck to achieve maximum revenues per hour by delivering melts, tots, soups and sides efficiently to customers. The Company’s business model includes the use of social media and location booking to attract customers to the truck’s various locations.

 

2.Liquidity, Management’s Plan and Going Concern

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The business will require significant amounts of capital to sustain operations and make the investments it needs to execute its longer term business plan. The Company has cash of $428,858 and negative net working capital of $284,006 at June 30, 2013. The Company’s cash and working capital amounts were derived from the proceeds of financing transactions in which it raised proceeds of $1,650,000 in 2012 and $1,869,955 in 2013 through the issuance of notes, convertible notes and common stock purchase warrants. The Company’s net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $2,605,481 and the deficit accumulated by the Company amounts to $4,909,340 as of June 30, 2013.

 

In order to continue as a going concern and achieve a profitable level of operations, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources.  Management’s plan to continue as a going concern includes raising capital through increased sales and conducting additional financings through debt and equity transactions. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the management’s ability to successfully implement the plans described above, including securing additional sources of financing and attain profitable operations.   Management also cannot provide any assurance that unforeseen circumstances that could occur at anytime within the next twelve months or thereafter will not increase the need for the Company to raise additional capital on an immediate basis. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Interim Financial Statements

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

 

These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on July 3, 2013. The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read, or have access to, the audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding period, and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year ending December 31, 2013.

 

3.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

a.Basis of Consolidation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant inter-company transactions are eliminated.

 

b.Basis of Accounting

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the basis of accounting generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements and with Form 10-Q and article 8-03 of the Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Under this basis of accounting, revenues are recorded as earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred.

 

c.Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash primarily consists of cash on hand and bank deposits. The Company currently has no cash equivalents which would consist of money market accounts and other highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased.

 

d.Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements

 

The preparation of 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 those estimates.

 

e.Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method. The depreciation and amortization methods are designed to amortize the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives, in years, of the respective assets as follows:

 

Computers 4 Years
Vehicles 4 Years
Office Equipment 7 Years
Food Service Equipment 7 Years
Furniture and Fixtures 7 Years
Leasehold Improvements 7 Years

 

Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Improvements of a major nature are capitalized. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gains or losses are reflected in income.

 

7
 

 

The Company reviews the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors. Based on this assessment there was no impairment at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

 

f.Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are generally unsecured. The majority of the Company's sales are in cash from truck stop sales. Receivables relate to catering and special event sales. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based on the age of outstanding invoices and management's evaluation of collectability. Accounts are written off after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted and management concludes that likelihood of collection is remote. Any future recoveries are applied against the allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

g.Revenue Recognition

 

The Company's revenue is derived from three sources. The primary source is from truck stop sales and lesser portions are from catering and event services and licensed truck sales. Truck stop sales are primarily received in cash and revenue for these sales, net of sales tax, is reported at that time.

 

For catering and special event services, customers must sign and deliver the Company's standard catering agreement with a minimum payment of 50% of the agreed upon price of the event. The remaining balance is due by credit card payment within 2 days of the event or cash on the day of the event. The initial 50% deposit is fully refundable until 14 days prior to the event, between 4 and 13 days prior to the event, the deposit is non-refundable and if the customer cancels within 3 days of the event, 100% of the agreed-upon price of the event is due. Revenue is recognized, net of sales tax, at the time services are provided.

For licensed truck sales, revenue is based on 37% of gross revenue from truck stop sales collected by the licensee. Revenue is recognized at the end of each month when the licensee is invoiced and the revenue is booked as a receivable. The Company has a non-binding agreement with the licensee which was entered into in the ordinary course of business. This agreement is subject to change.

 

h.Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs, which are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Statements of Operations, are expensed when incurred. These costs consist primarily of printing for signs, menus, and promotional items. Also included are costs of web based advertising. Total advertising expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $13,256 and $3,012, respectively and for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $668 and $2,546, respectively.

 

i.Earnings (loss) per common share

 

The Company utilizes the guidance per FASB Codification “ASC 260 "Earnings per Share". Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing income available to stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible notes and the exercise of stock options and warrants (calculated using the modified-treasury stock method). Such securities, shown below, presented on a common share equivalent basis and outstanding as of June 30, 2013 have been excluded from the per share computations:

 

   For the Six Months
Ended
 
   June 30, 
   2013   2012 
Convertible notes issued (Post-Reverse Merger)   3,519,955    - 
Warrants for services   2,252,000    - 
Warrants issued in connection with convertible debt   1,759,978    - 
    7,531,933    - 

 

8
 

 

j.Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”). Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

k.Sales Taxes

 

The Company's revenues in the statements of income are net of sales taxes.

 

l.Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820-Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or ASC 820, for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. The adoption of ASC 820 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or operating results, but did expand certain disclosures.

 

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:

 

Level 1:Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

Level 2:Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data

 

Level 3:Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

 

The Company did not have any Level 2 or Level 3 assets or liabilities as of June 30, 2013, with the exception of its convertible notes payable. The carrying amounts of these liabilities at June 30, 2013 approximate their respective fair value based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.

 

Cash is considered to be highly liquid and easily tradable as of June 30, 2013 and therefore classified as Level 1 within our fair value hierarchy.

 

In addition, FASB ASC 825-10-25 Fair Value Option, or ASC 825-10-25, was effective for January 1, 2008. ASC 825-10-25 expands opportunities to use fair value measurements in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company did not elect the fair value options for any of its qualifying financial instruments.

 

m.Convertible Instruments

 

The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with professional standards for “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”.

 

Professional standards generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.  Professional standards also provide an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as defined under professional standards as “The Meaning of “Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument”.

The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with professional standards when “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features,” as those professional standards pertain to “Certain Convertible Instruments.” Accordingly, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying Common Stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their earliest date of redemption. The Company also records when necessary deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying Common Stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note.

 

ASC 815-40 provides that, among other things, generally, if an event is not within the entity’s control could or require net cash settlement, then the contract shall be classified as an asset or a liability.

 

n.Deferred Financing Costs

 

Costs incurred with obtaining and executing debt arrangements are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related debt.

 

o.Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”).

Overview

 

TRIG Acquisition 1, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 31, 2009 as GSP-1, Inc.  The Company was formed as a vehicle to pursue a business combination. The Company selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. On July 6, 2011, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to change its name from “GSP-1, Inc.” to “TRIG Acquisition 1, Inc.” On February 19, 2013, following the Share Exchange Transaction, the Company changed its corporate name from “TRIG Acquisition 1, Inc.” to “The Grilled Cheese Truck, Inc.”

 

From inception until the closing of the Share Exchange, we solely existed as a vehicle to pursue a business combination.  As a result of the Share Exchange, we ceased our prior operations and, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Grilled Cheese, now operate as a food truck franchisor, specializing in grilled cheese.

 

Grilled Cheese, Inc. was a privately held California S corporation, incorporated on September 18, 2009. Immediately prior to the closing of the Share Exchange, David Danhi and Michelle Grant were the shareholders of Grilled Cheese.  Grilled Cheese’s operations to date have consisted of sales of grilled cheese and food related items in their operating food truck, business formation, strategic development, marketing, website development, negotiations with potential franchisees and capital raising activities. 

 

The Grilled Cheese Truck is a food truck that sells various types of gourmet grilled cheese and other comfort foods principally in the Los Angeles, California area and in Phoenix, Arizona. Each of our trucks currently makes approximately ten stops per week (lunch and dinner five days a week) at prearranged locations. The food preparation occurs at our kitchens which support streamlined operations within the truck itself by limiting assembly and grilling, allowing the truck to achieve maximum revenues per hour and delivering melts, Tater Tots™, soups and sides efficiently to its customers. Our business model is effective in the use of social media and location booking to secure high sales per stop. Our website, www.thegrilledcheesetruck.com lists the weekly schedule where the trucks will be stopping.

 

We are capitalizing on the burgeoning food truck industry through its established food service operations and unique social media strategy. Driving our growth, we have received national media visibility and a robust fan base of just over 113,000 followers on Twitter and Facebook. We have established significant brand presence, but have sustained losses to date. Our co-founder is David Danhi, a successful chef and food industry entrepreneur.

 

21
 

 

We currently generate revenue from retail sales through five company-owned food trucks, and intend to expand and generate revenue from franchise revenues, consisting primarily of royalties based on a percentage of sales reported by franchise restaurants and franchise fees paid by franchisees as well as property income we derive from properties we lease or sublease to our franchisees.

 

The immediate operating objectives for the Company include the implementation of more efficient systems and equipment. Management recognizes the importance of efficient cash and accounting management systems and will implement an advanced point-of-sales (POS) platform that will work for both company and franchised outlets. In addition to quicker customer order process, this system will also streamline the financial reporting, cost of goods, performance metrics and finance processes. It will also track franchised operations and remotely calculate and collect royalties, all in real time and on a daily basis. We have implemented the new POS system during the second quarter of 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes our Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.  We have a working capital deficit, and have incurred losses since inception, and further losses are anticipated raising substantial doubt about our company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our company generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand and private placement of securities.

 

25
 

 

The Company's liquidity and capital needs relate primarily to working capital and other general corporate requirements.  To date, the Company has funded its operations with convertible loans, by the sale of common and preferred stock and through a private placement offering. Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2013 was $428,858, a $350,824 increase as compared to December 31, 2012. As of June 30, 2013, working capital deficit (current assets less current liabilities) decreased to $(284,006) from $(838,992), as of December 31, 2012. Cash used in operations of $1,491,897 in 2013 was primarily attributable to the net loss of $2,605,481 offset by adjustments totaling $1,113,584, which primarily relates to increase in accounts receivable of $13,964, increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $7,747, net increase in accounts payable – related parties and accounts payable of $102,665, an increase in deferred finance costs of $177,100, an increase in accrued interest of $146,681, decrease in accrued compensation of $5,500, common stock and warrants issued for services of $906,667 and $231,095 of depreciation and amortization. Cash used in operations of $23,681 for the same period in 2012 was primarily attributable to the net loss of $25,264 offset by adjustments totaling $1,583, which primarily relates to a decrease in accounts receivable of $11,252, increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $10,354, increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $20,156, an increase in customer deposits of $12,317, loss on sale of property and equipment of $1,440 and $3,033 of depreciation.

The Company purchased computer equipment, food service equipment and equipment for the Company’s trucks during the six months ended June 30, 2013. During the same period in 2012 we sold equipment totaling $1,199. 

 

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $1,858,844 for the six month period in 2013 and $(9,901) for the same period in 2012. In 2013, we had proceeds of $1,896,155 from convertible notes and shareholder advances and we had payments totaling $37,311 which were payments made for notes payable and a repayment of a loan from a shareholder. During the same period in 2012, we repaid $9,901 to a note holder and a shareholder.

 

Financial Position 

 

The Company's liquidity and capital needs relate primarily to working capital and other general corporate requirements. As of June 30, 2013, the company raised approximately $3,520,000 in senior secured notes. Management plans to continue raising capital through increased sales and by engaging in additional debt and equity financing transactions The Company will use the proceeds for operating and working capital, expenses, professional fees, advisory fees and future business.

 

Total assets increased by $593,611, or 191%, to $903,777 as of June 30, 2013 from $310,166 as of December 31, 2012. This increase was primarily attributable to the increase in cash and equivalents related to proceeds from financing and prepaid expenses, increase in accounts receivable and notes receivable as well as an increase in deferred financing costs and other assets.

 

Total liabilities increased by $1,637,627, or 65%, to $4,164,023 as of June30, 2013 from $2,526,396 as of December 31, 2012. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses totaling $244,124 as well as the issuance of convertible notes payable (short term and long term) totaling $1,896,155.

 

Total stockholders’ deficit increased by $1,044,016 during 2013. This increase was attributable to the net loss totaling $2,605,481 off-set with the increase in additional paid in capital of $1,559,025 and increase in common stock of $2,440.

We had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 3 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements or notes thereto.

 

 Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

Smaller reporting companies are not required to provide the information required by this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report (the “Evaluation Date”), pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, due to material weaknesses in our control environment and financial reporting process. A “material weakness” is defined under SEC rules as 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 a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company’s internal controls. Our management concluded that we had material weaknesses in our control environment and financial reporting process consisting of the following as of the Evaluation Date:

 

  1)   lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a  lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in  the establishment and monitoring of required internal control and procedures;
  2)   inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives;
  3)   ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes; and
  4) lack of accounting personnel with adequate experience and training.

        

As of the date of this Report, the Company does not intend to remedy the foregoing and therefore such material weaknesses in our control environment and financial reporting process will continue. A system of controls, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the system of controls are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

  

Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

 

No changes were made to our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II-OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, the Company may become involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of its operations in the normal course of business. We are not involved in any pending legal proceeding or litigation and, to the best of our knowledge, no governmental authority is contemplating any proceeding to which we are a party or to which any of our properties is subject, which would reasonably be likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

 

Item 1A.Risk Factors.

 

Smaller reporting companies are not required to provide the information required by this item.

 

Item 2.Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

During the period of this Quarterly Report and for the two years prior to this report, all unregistered sales of our securities were previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K.
