SCI ENGINEERED MATERIALS, INC

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1.Business Organization and Purpose

 

SCI Engineered Materials, Inc. (“SCI”, or the “Company”), an Ohio corporation, was incorporated in 1987. The Company operates in one segment as a global supplier and manufacturer of advanced materials for Physical Vapor Deposition (“PVD”) Thin Film Applications. The Company is focused on specific markets within the PVD industry (Photonics, Thin Film Solar, Glass and Transparent Electronics). Substantially all of the Company’s revenues are generated from customers with multi-national operations. The Company develops innovative customized solutions enabling commercial success through collaboration with end users and Original Equipment Manufacturers.

 

Note 2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods presented have been included. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2019. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

 

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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.

 

Revenue Recognition - The Company enters into contracts with its customers that generally represent purchase orders specifying general terms and conditions, order quantities and per unit product prices. The Company has determined that each unit of product purchased represents a separate performance obligation. The Company satisfies its performance obligations and recognizes revenue at a point in time when control of a unit of product is transferred to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products. For the majority of product sales, transfer of control occurs when the products are shipped from the Company's manufacturing facility to the customer. The cost of delivering products to the Company's customers is recorded as a component of cost of products sold. Those costs may include the amounts paid to a third party to deliver the products. Any freight costs billed to and paid by a customer are included in revenue.

 

The Company considers collectability of amounts due under a contract to be probable upon inception of a sale based on an evaluation of the credit worthiness of each customer. The Company sells its products typically under agreements with payment terms less than 45 days. The Company does not typically include extended payment terms or significant financing components in contracts with customers. The majority of the Company’s contracts have an obligation to transfer products within one year. Thus, the Company elects to use the practical expedient where incremental cost of obtaining a contract, such as commissions, is expensed when incurred because the amortization period for those costs is one year or less. The Company treats shipping and handling activities that occur after control of the product transfers as fulfillment activities, and therefore, does not account for shipping and handling costs as a separate performance obligation. Customer deposits are funds received in advance from customers and are recognized as revenue when the Company has transferred control of product to the customer. Product revenues are recognized upon shipment of goods as the customer has assumed the significant risks and rewards of ownership and the Company is entitled to payment at this point. Service revenues are recognized upon completion as the customer cannot realize the benefit of the service until fully completed.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, revenue from the photonics market was approximately 96% and 92% of total revenue, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, revenue from the photonics market was approximately 98% and 95% of total revenue, respectively. The balance of the revenue in these periods was almost entirely from the thin film solar market. The top two customers represented approximately 87% and 76% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. International shipments resulted in 4% and 14% of total revenue for the first six months of 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

Note 3.Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 “Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU No. 2016-13 significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets, including accounts and notes receivables, by replacing today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model under which allowances will be recognized based on expected rather than incurred losses. ASU No. 2016-13 will become effective for us in the first quarter of 2023. We are evaluating the impact that the adoption of this update will have on our financial statements.

 

Note 4.Common Stock and Stock Options

 

Stock Based Compensation cost for all stock awards is based on the grant date fair value and recognized over the required service (vesting) period. Non cash stock based compensation expense was $31,182 and $31,376 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Non cash stock based compensation expense was $62,362 and $65,536 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense was $13,398 as of June 30, 2020 and will be recognized through 2023. There was no tax benefit recorded for this compensation cost as the expense primarily relates to incentive stock options that do not qualify for a tax deduction until, and only if, a qualifying disposition occurs.

 

The non-employee Board members received compensation of 51,085 and 18,080 aggregate shares of common stock of the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The stock had an aggregate value of $59,998 and $59,999 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and was recorded as non-cash stock compensation expense in the financial statements.

Note 7.Earnings Per Share

 

Basic income per share is calculated as income applicable to common shareholders divided by the weighted average of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated as diluted income applicable to common shareholders divided by the diluted weighted average number of common shares. Diluted weighted average number of common shares gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. Diluted earnings per share exclude all diluted potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. All convertible preferred stock and common stock options listed in Note 4 that were out-of-the-money or anti-dilutive were excluded from diluted earnings per share. The following is provided to reconcile the earnings per share calculations:

 

   Three months ended June 30,   Six months ended June 30, 
   2020   2019   2020   2019 
Income applicable to common shares  $14,422   $160,380   $89,900   $309,684 
                     
Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic   4,411,714    4,321,387    4,398,856    4,308,504 
                     
Effect of dilution   6,611    41,889    7,622    43,793 
Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted   4,418,325    4,363,276    4,406,478    4,352,297 

 

 

Note 8.Notes Payable

 

On April 17, 2020 we entered into an unsecured promissory note under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”), with a principal amount of $325,300. The PPP was established under the recently enacted Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). The term of the PPP loan is two years. The interest rate on this loan is 1.0% per annum, which shall be deferred for the first six months of the term of the loan. After the initial six-month deferral period, the loan requires monthly payments of principal and interest until maturity with respect to any portion of the PPP loan which is not forgiven as described below. The Company is permitted to prepay or partially prepay the PPP loan at any time with no prepayment penalties. Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients can apply for, and be granted, forgiveness for all or a portion of loans granted under the PPP. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations and ongoing rulemaking by the SBA, based on the use of loan proceeds for payroll costs and mortgage interest, rent or utility costs and the maintenance of employee and compensation levels. While there is no assurance the Company will obtain forgiveness of the PPP loan in whole or in part, it expects most (if not all) of this loan to be forgiven by the SBA.

 

The Company renewed its line of credit with Huntington National Bank for $1 million during 2019. The line of credit bears interest at 0.5 percentage points over the Prime Commercial Rate with an expiration date of October 5, 2020. At June 30, 2020, no amounts were drawn on the line of credit.

Those statements include, but may not be limited to, all statements regarding our intent, belief, and expectations, such as statements concerning our future profitability and operating and growth strategy. Words such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “will,” “may,” “should,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “likely” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in other statements we make involve risks and uncertainties including, without limitation, the factors set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and other factors detailed from time to time in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. One or more of these factors have affected, and in the future could affect our business and financial condition and could cause actual results to differ materially from plans and projections. Although we believe the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, there can be no assurance that any of the forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will prove to be accurate.

Item 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

 

Executive Summary

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. To date, COVID-19 has surfaced in nearly all regions around the world and resulted in restrictions and shutdowns implemented by national, state, and local authorities. As a result of the pandemic, we are complying with executive orders issued in Ohio and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines regarding safety procedures. These procedures include, but are not limited to: social distancing, staggering start times, remote working, and teleconferencing versus in person meetings. We are maintaining regular contact, via phone and other electronic means, with our customers and suppliers. During the third quarter of 2020, and perhaps longer, we may operate below our normal production schedule due to uncertainty in our domestic and global market due to COVID-19. Thus, we expect revenue to be lower in the second half of 2020 compared to the first six months of this year.

 

On April 17, 2020 we entered into an unsecured promissory note under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”), with a principal amount of $325,300. The PPP was established under the recently enacted Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). This loan allowed us to pay our employees a full 40-hour week while production was below normal capacity. We anticipate that most (if not all) of this loan will be forgiven by the SBA following achievement of the loan requirements. We value all employees and wish to aid them through this difficult period. Management will continue to monitor our production and payroll needs going forward based on evolving circumstances.

 

Some employees worked remotely during most of the second quarter of 2020 and we do not believe it adversely affected our ability to maintain operations, including financial reporting. The Chief Financial Officer maintained constant contact with the accounting staff in addition to the Chief Executive Officer and the Operations Manager. We do not believe our disclosure controls and procedures were materially affected and there were no changes in controls. Communication was maintained with the Board of Directors as well. These employees returned to work in our office in June 2020.

 

Based on recent conversations with customers, we do not expect to experience any material impairments and do not anticipate any changes in accounting judgements. We are not aware of any material adverse impact on our supply chain and remain in contact with our suppliers.

 

We continue to face a period of uncertainty regarding the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on both our projected customer demand and supply chain. During this challenging economic environment, we are focused on continuing to take the necessary steps to respond quickly to changes in our business and maintaining our financial flexibility in the face of the unprecedented and continuing impact of COVID-19, including (but not limited to): reviewing and monitoring planned capital expenditures, reviewing all operating expenses for opportunities to reduce spending, and aligning inventory to estimated revenue.

 

We continue to monitor the rapidly evolving situation related to COVID-19 including guidance from federal, state and local public health authorities and may take additional actions based on these recommendations. In these circumstances, there may be developments outside our control requiring us to adjust our operating plan. As such, given the dynamic nature of this situation, we cannot reasonably estimate the impacts of COVID-19 on our results of operations, cash flows and liquidity in the future.

Item 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we had total revenue of $2,606,587. This was a decrease of $135,361, or 4.9%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we had total revenue of $6,045,382. This was a decrease of $711,604, or 10.5%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. Volume was lower in 2020 compared to 2019 as international shipments decreased by $677,216.

 

Gross profit was $437,784 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $694,669 for the same three months in 2019 and $947,122 and $1,390,971 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, primarily due to lower revenue.

 

Operating expenses were $410,024, and $513,582 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively and $831,877 and $1,050,870 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to additional expenses incurred during our management transition in the first half of 2019. Our former president and CEO retired in June 2019.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Three and six months ended June 30, 2020 (unaudited) compared to three and six months ended June 30, 2019 (unaudited):

 

Revenue

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we had total revenue of $2,606,587. This was a decrease of $135,361, or 4.9%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we had total revenue of $6,045,382. This was a decrease of $711,604, or 10.5%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. Volume was lower in 2020 compared to 2019 as international shipments decreased by $677,216.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit was $437,784 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $694,669 for the same three months in 2019. This was a decrease of $256,885, or 37.0%. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue (gross margin) was 16.8% for the second quarter of 2020 compared to 25.3% for the same period in 2019. Gross profit was $947,122 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $1,390,971 for the first six months of 2019. This was a decrease of $443,849 or 31.9%. Gross margin was 15.7% for the first six months of 2020 compared to 20.6% for the same period in 2019. The decrease in gross profit and gross margin was primarily related to lower revenue previously mentioned as well as product mix.

 

General and Administrative Expense

 

General and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, was $272,216 and $349,636, respectively, a decrease of 22.1%. General and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, was $555,381 and $709,436, respectively, a decrease of 21.7%. This decrease was primarily related to lower compensation of approximately $58,000 during the second quarter of 2020 and $139,000 during the first six months of 2020. Higher compensation expense for the same periods in 2019 was related to our new President and CEO working closely with our former President and CEO during the first half of 2019.

Item 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

 

Professional Fees

 

Included in total expense was $56,555 and $53,953 for professional fees for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively and $120,137 and $120,454 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. These continued expenses were primarily related to SEC compliance costs for legal, accounting and stockholder relations fees.

 

Research and Development Expense

 

Research and development expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020, was $90,421 compared to $94,600 for the same period in 2019, a decrease of 4.4%. Research and development expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020, was $177,325 compared to $203,469 for the same period in 2019, a decrease of 12.8%. This decrease was primarily related to lower compensation expense due to staffing levels in the first half of 2019. We continue to invest in developing new applications for all of our markets including an innovative buffer layer for thin film solar cells, transparent conductive oxide systems for transparent electronics and thin film solar. These efforts include accelerating time to market for those applications and involve ongoing research and development expense.

 

Marketing and Sales Expense

 

Marketing and sales expense was $47,387 and $69,346 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. This was a decrease of $21,959 or 31.7%. This decrease was primarily related to lower travel and compensation expenses of approximately $19,000.

 

Marketing and sales expense was $99,171 and $137,965 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. This was a decrease of $38,794 or 28.1%. This decrease was primarily related to lower travel expenses of approximately $27,000 and lower outside sales commissions of $6,000. Travel was limited during the first six months of 2020 due the cancellation of tradeshows and limited direct contact with customers in response to COVID-19 orders issued by national health organizations and state officials.

 

Stock Compensation Expense

 

Included in total expenses were non-cash stock-based compensation costs of $31,182 and $31,376 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $62,362 and $65,536 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Compensation expense for all stock-based awards is based on the grant date fair value and recognized over the required service (vesting) period. Unrecognized non-cash stock-based compensation expense was $13,398 as of June 30, 2020 and will be recognized through 2023.

 

Interest, net

 

Interest expense was $7,300 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and $14,669 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Interest expense was $11,369 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and $13,481 for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Item 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

 

Income Applicable to Common Stock

 

Income applicable to common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, was $14,422 and $160,380, respectively. Income applicable to common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $89,900 and $309,684, respectively. The decrease was the result of lower gross profit which was partially offset by lower operating expenses.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash

 

As of June 30, 2020, cash on hand was $1,924,807 compared to $1,828,397 at December 31, 2019. On April 17, 2020 we entered into an unsecured promissory note under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”), with a principal amount of $325,300 received April 24, 2020. We anticipate that most (if not all) of this loan will be forgiven by the SBA.

 

Working Capital

 

At June 30, 2020 working capital was $2,309,261 compared to $1,992,328 at December 31, 2019, an increase of $316,933, or 15.9%. Inventories decreased $1,878,014 and customer deposits decreased $2,071,317 due to prepaid orders shipped during 2020. Also, accounts payable decreased $74,390.

 

Cash from Operations

 

Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2020, was $8,818 and $293,280 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. This included depreciation and amortization of $228,680 and $255,563 and non-cash stock-based compensation costs of $62,362 and $65,536 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. In addition, accrued expenses and customer deposits decreased $2,086,240 and $223,047 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which were offset by reduced inventory levels in 2020. The inventory reserve increased $39,814 during the first six months of 2020 due to current uncertainties regarding specific product shipments to international customers.

 

Cash from Investing Activities

 

Cash of $167,999 was used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2020, for the acquisition of production equipment. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, $212,195 was used in investing activities which included an in-plant office mezzanine in addition to the acquisition of production equipment.

 

Cash from Financing Activities

 

Cash of $48,620 and $76,391 was used in financing activities for principal payments to third parties for finance lease obligations and notes payable during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As previously mentioned, during the second quarter of 2020 we entered into an unsecured promissory note under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”), with a principal amount of $325,300, with the expectation that most (if not all) of this loan will be forgiven by the SBA. Also, a dividend payment of $24,152 was made to owners of our Series B preferred stock during the second quarter of 2020 and 2019.

Item 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

 

Debt Outstanding

 

Total debt outstanding increased to $500,515 at June 30, 2020, from $223,835 at December 31, 2019. The increase was due to the proceeds received from the unsecured promissory note under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”)

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements including special purpose entities.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Note 2 to the Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Financial Statements. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, accounting for the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory allowances, property and equipment depreciable lives, patents and licenses useful lives, revenue recognition, tax valuation allowance, stock-based compensation and assessing changes in which impairment of certain long-lived assets may occur. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The following critical accounting policies are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of the Financial Statements. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on our assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts and the aging of the accounts receivable. If there is a deterioration of a major customer’s credit worthiness or actual defaults are higher than our historical experience, our estimates of the recoverability of amounts due us could be adversely affected. Inventory purchases and commitments are based upon future demand forecasts. If there is a sudden and significant decrease in demand for our products or there is a higher risk of inventory obsolescence because of rapidly changing technology and customer requirements, we may be required to increase our inventory allowances and our gross margin could be adversely affected. Depreciable and useful lives estimated for property and equipment, licenses and patents are based on initial expectations of the period of time these assets and intangibles will benefit us. Changes in circumstances related to a change in our business, change in technology or other factors could result in these assets becoming impaired, which could adversely affect the value of these assets.

 

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure.

Item 4.Control and Procedures (continued)

 

Management previously disclosed a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting in its annual report on Form 10-K, filed on February 5, 2020, for the year ended December 31, 2019, relating to insufficient segregation of duties consistent with control objectives. Management is aware of the risks associated with the lack of segregation of duties due to the small number of employees currently working with general administrative and financial matters. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions shall be performed by separate individuals.

 

To address and remediate the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described above, we performed a review of our related procedures and controls and strengthened cross approval of various functions, including financial reporting and disclosure review controls by the Chief Financial Officer, to include the Chief Executive Officer and Audit Committee Chairperson where appropriate. We continue to report to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors at least monthly (and more often as necessary). This reporting includes balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of cash flows, and other detail supporting these statements.

 

Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Disclosure controls and procedures are defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act as controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed with the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

 

Inherent Limitations over Internal Controls

 

Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Management is responsible for the consistency, integrity, and presentation of information. To fulfill our responsibility, we maintain systems of internal control designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and transactions are executed in accordance with established procedures. The concept of reasonable assurance is based upon recognition that the cost of the controls should not exceed the benefit derived. We believe our systems of internal control provide this reasonable assurance.

 

The Board of Directors exercises its oversight role with respect to our systems of internal control primarily through its Audit Committee, which is comprised of independent directors. The Committee oversees our financial reporting, quarterly reviews and audits to assess whether their quality, integrity, and objectivity are sufficient to protect shareholders’ investments.

Item 4.Control and Procedures (continued)

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

Other than the remediation described above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting for the three months ended June 30, 2020, that materially affected or were reasonably likely to materially affect our disclosure controls and procedures. Additionally, there were no changes in our internal controls that could materially affect our disclosure controls and procedures subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
