The duration of the Consultation and Service Agreement is 30 years. WFOE may terminate this agreement at any time by giving 30 day’s prior written notice.

 

F-8

The purchase price shall be the lowest price allowed by PRC laws. The Equity Option Agreements shall remain effective until all the equity interest owned by each operating entity shareholder has been legally transferred to WFOE or its designee(s).

 

Voting Rights Proxy Agreements

 

According to the Voting Rights Proxy Agreements, each shareholder irrevocably appointed WFOE or WFOE’s designee to exercise all his or her rights as the shareholders of the operating entities under the Articles of Association of each operating entity, including but not limited to the power to exercise all shareholder’s voting rights concerning all matters to be discussed and voted in the shareholders’ meeting.

Based on the foregoing contractual arrangements, The Company consolidates the accounts of Xianning Bozhuang Tea Products Co., Ltd., Jingshan Sanhe Luckysky New Energy Technologies Co., Ltd. and Jilin Chuangyuan Chemical Co., Ltd. in accordance with Regulation S-X-3A-02 promulgated by the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810-10, Consolidation.

 

Enterprise-wide disclosure

 

The Company’s chief operating decision-makers (i.e. chief executive officer and her direct reports) review financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information about revenues by business lines for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. There are no segment managers who are held accountable for operations, operating results and plans for levels or components below the consolidated unit level. Based on qualitative and quantitative criteria established by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, “Segment Reporting”, the Company considers itself to be operating within one reportable segment.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern; however, the Company has incurred a net loss of $14,365,365 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $134,246,166, cash and cash equivalents of $313,500, working capital deficit of $4,769,328; its net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $4,240,629

 

These factors raise substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management’s plan for the Company’s continued existence is dependent upon management’s ability to execute the business plan, develop the plan to generate profit; additionally, Management may need to continue to rely on private placements or certain related parties to provide funding for investment, for working capital and general corporate purposes. If management is unable to execute its plan, the Company may become insolvent.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2023 or any future period.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC on March 31, 2023.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements preparation 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 during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available when the calculations are made; however, actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Significant estimates required to be made by management include but are not limited to add accounts that use significant estimates, such as the allowance for estimated uncollectible receivables, realizability of advance to suppliers, inventory valuations, etc.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash) of $313,500 compared to $93,487 as of December 31, 2022.

 

Accounts Receivables

 

Accounts receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when the collection of the total amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories consist of raw materials and finished goods, stated at the lower of cost or market value. Finished goods are comprised of direct materials, direct labor, inbound shipping costs, and allocated overhead. The Company applies the weighted average cost method to its inventory.

 

Advances and Prepayments to Suppliers

 

The Company makes an advance payment to suppliers and vendors for the procurement of raw materials. Upon physical receipt and inspection of the raw materials from suppliers, the applicable amount is reclassified from advances and prepayments to suppliers to inventory.

 

F-10

 

 

Plant and Equipment

 

Plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. The Company typically applies a salvage value of 0% to 10%. The estimated useful lives of the plant and equipment are as follows:

 

Buildings  20-40 years
Landscaping, plant, and tree  30 years
Machinery and equipment  1-10 years
Motor vehicles  5-10 years
Office equipment  5-20 years

 

The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts, and any gain or loss is included in the Company’s results of operations. The costs of maintenance and repairs are recognized as incurred; significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided over their useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of the intangible assets are as follows: 

  

Land use rights  50 years
Software licenses  2 years
Trademarks  10 years

 

Construction in Progress and Prepayments for Equipment

 

Construction in progress and prepayments for equipment represent direct and indirect acquisition and construction costs for plants and fees of purchase and installation of related equipment. Amounts classified as construction in progress and prepayments for equipment are transferred to plant and equipment when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. Depreciation is not provided for assets classified in this account.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired in a business combination. The Company conducts an annual assessment of its goodwill for impairment. If the carrying value of its goodwill exceeds its fair value, then impairment has been incurred; accordingly, a charge to the Company’s operations results will be recognized during the period. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted expected future cash flow analysis.

 

Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

The Company annually reviews its long-lived assets for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. Impairment may become obsolete from a difference in the industry, introduction of new technologies, or if the Company has inadequate working capital to utilize the long-lived assets to generate adequate profits. Impairment is present if the carrying amount of an asset is less than its expected future undiscounted cash flows.

 

If an asset is considered impaired, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are reported lower the carrying amount or fair value fewer costs to selling. 

 

Statutory Reserves

 

Statutory reserves refer to the amount appropriated from the net income following laws or regulations, which can be used to recover losses and increase capital, as approved, and are to be used to expand production or operations. PRC laws prescribe that an enterprise operating at a profit must appropriate and reserve, on an annual basis, an amount equal to 10% of its profit. Such an appropriation is necessary until the reserve reaches a maximum equal to 50% of the enterprise’s PRC registered capital.

 

F-11

 

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The accompanying financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The functional currency of the Company is the Renminbi (RMB). The Company’s assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars from RMB at year-end exchange rates. Its revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate during the period. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.

 

   09/30/2023   12/31/2022   09/30/2022 
Period-end US$: CAD$ exchange rate   1.3406    1.3554    1.3631 
Period-end US$: RMB exchange rate   7.1798    6.9646    7.0998 
Period-end US$: HK exchange rate   7.8243    7.7967    7.8499 
Period average US$: CAD$ exchange rate   1.3415    1.3012    1.2831 
Period average US$: RMB exchange rate   7.0148    6.7261    6.6068 
Period average US$: HK exchange rate   7.8335    7.831    7.8347 

 

The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies, and all foreign exchange transactions must be conducted through authorized financial institutions.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company adopted ASC 606 “Revenue Recognition.” It recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

 

The Company derives its revenues from selling explosion-proof skid-mounted refueling device, SF double-layer buried oil storage tank, high-grade synthetic fuel products, industrial formaldehyde solution, urea-formaldehyde pre-condensate (UFC), methylal, urea-formaldehyde glue for environment-friendly artificial board chemicals, food products like frozen fruits, beef & mutton products and vegetables and tea products. The Company applies the following five steps to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements:

 

  identify the contract with a customer;
     
  identify the performance obligations in the contract;
     
  determine the transaction price;
     
  allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and;
     
  Recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

Advertising

 

All advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Shipping and Handling

 

All outbound shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Research and Development

 

All research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Retirement Benefits

 

Retirement benefits in the form of mandatory government-sponsored defined contribution plans are charged to either expense as incurred or allocated to inventory as part of overhead.

 

F-12

 

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company records stock compensation expense for employees at fair value on the grant date and recognizes the expense one time because there is no employee’s requisite service period requirement.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, accounts for income tax using an asset and liability approach and recognizes deferred tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets. If it is more likely than not, these items will either expire before the Company can realize their benefits or uncertain future realization.

 

Comprehensive Income

 

The Company uses Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 220, “Reporting Comprehensive Income.” Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of stockholders’ equity, except the changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders due to investments by stockholders.

 

Net Loss per Share of Common Stock

 

The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) following ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per share.” Basic EPS is measured as the income or loss available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per-share basis from the potential conversion of convertible securities or the exercise of options and or warrants; the dilutive impacts of potentially convertible securities are calculated using the as-if method; the potentially dilutive effect of options or warranties are computed using the treasury stock method. Potentially anti-dilutive securities (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from diluted EPS calculation.

 

Fair Value Measurement

 

The Company’s financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, accounts and other receivables, accounts and other payables, accrued liabilities, and short-term debt, have carrying amounts that approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosing the Company’s fair value of financial instruments. ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines fair value and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

  Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology used quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
     
  Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and information that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the financial instrument’s full term.
     
  Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

F-13

 

 

Long-term Investments

 

Investments in entities over which the Company does not have significant influence are recorded as equity investments and are accounted for either at fair value with any changes recognized in net income, or for those without readily determinable fair values, at cost less impairment, adjusted for subsequent observable price changes. Under the equity method, the Company’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of equity investments is recognized in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income; and the Company’s share of post-acquisition movements in equity is recognized in equity in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Company and an entity in which the Company has recorded an equity investment are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest in the entity. To the extent of the Company’s interest in the investment, unrealized losses are eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.

 

Commitments and Contingencies 

 

From time to time, the Company is a party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The majority of these claims and proceedings related to or arise from commercial disputes. The Company first determine whether a loss from a claim is probable, and if it is reasonable to estimate the potential loss. The Company accrues costs associated with these matters when they become probable, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. Also, the Company disclose a range of possible losses, if a loss from a claim is probable but the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated, which is in line with the applicable requirements of Accounting Standard Codification 450. The Company’s management does not expect any liability from the disposition of such claims and litigation individually or in the aggregate would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements,

 

In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which is an update to ASU Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduced the expected credit losses methodology for the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, replacing the previous incurred loss methodology. The amendments in Update 2016-13 added Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, and made several consequential amendments to the Codification. Update 2016-13 also modified the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities, which must be individually assessed for credit losses when fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, in accordance with Subtopic 326-30, Financial Instruments— Credit Losses—Available-for-Sale Debt Securities. The amendments in this Update address those stakeholders’ concerns by providing an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis. For those entities, the targeted transition relief will increase comparability of financial statement information by providing an option to align measurement methodologies for similar financial assets. Furthermore, the targeted transition relief also may reduce the costs for some entities to comply with the amendments in Update 2016-13 while still providing financial statement users with decision-useful information. ASU 2019-05 is effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning January 1st, 2020. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2023. The adoption did not have significant impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

 

3. Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”)

 

A VIE is an entity that has either a total equity investment that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or whose equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, such as through voting rights, right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity or obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity. If any, the variable interest holder with a controlling financial interest in a VIE is deemed the primary beneficiary and must consolidate the VIE. PLAG WOFE is deemed to have the controlling financial interest and be the primary beneficiary of Jilin Chuangyuan Chemical Co., Ltd because it has both of the following characteristics:

 

1) The power to direct activities at Jilin Chuangyuan Chemical Co., Ltd that most significantly impact such entity’s economic performance, and

 

2) The obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits from Jilin Chuangyuan Chemical Co., Ltd. that could potentially be significant to such entity. Under the Contractual Arrangements, Jilin Chuangyuan Chemical Co., Ltd. pay service fees equal to all of its net income to PLAG WFOE. At the same time, PLAG WFOE is obligated to absorb all of the Jilin Chuangyuan Chemical Co., Ltd.’s losses. The Contractual Arrangements are designed to operate Jilin Chuangyuan Chemical Co., Ltd. for the benefit of PLAG WFOE and ultimately, the Company. Accordingly, the accounts of Jilin Chuangyuan Chemical Co., Ltd. are consolidated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In addition, those financial positions and results of operations are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

17. Income Taxes

 

United States

 

On December 22, 2017, the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (the “Act”) was enacted. Under the provisions of the Act, the U.S. corporate tax rate decreased from 34% to 21%. As the Company has a December 31 fiscal year-end, the lower corporate income tax rate will be phased in, resulting in a U.S. statutory federal rate of 21% for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Accordingly, the Company has remeasured the Company’s deferred tax assets on net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) in the U.S at the lower enacted cooperated tax rate of 21%. However, this remeasurement has no effect on the Company’s income tax expenses as the Company has provided a 100% valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets previously.

 

F-24

 

 

Additionally, the Act imposes a one-time transition tax on deemed repatriation of historical earnings of foreign subsidiaries, and future foreign earnings are subject to U.S. taxation. The change in rate has caused the Company to remeasure all U.S. deferred income tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences and NOLs and recorded one time income tax payable to be paid in 8 years. However, this one-time transition tax has no effect on the Company’s income tax expenses as the Company has no undistributed foreign earnings prior to September 30, 2023 which the Company has foreign cumulative losses at September 30, 2023.

 

British Virgin Islands

Under Hong Kong tax law, Lucky Sky Planet Green Holdings Co., Limited (H.K.) is exempted from income tax on its foreign-derived income and there are no withholding taxes in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends.

 

PRC

Net Revenues. Our net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2023 amounted to $4.18 million, which represents a decrease of approximately $6.08 million, or 59%, from $10.26 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. This decrease was attributable to a mixture of effects: the continued adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company, which resulted in lower revenue per subsidiary compared to the same period last year and the disposal of subsidiary Anhui Ansheng in December 2022. 

 

Cost of Revenues. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we experienced a decrease in cost of revenue of $5.73 million or 60%, in comparison to the three months ended September 30, 2022, from approximately $9.57 million to $3.83 million. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in the revenue in the current three months period compared to the same period in 2022 and the disposal of the subsidiary Anhui Ansheng in December 2022.

Gross Profit. Our gross profit decreased by $0.35 million, or 50% to $0.35 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $0.70 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Our selling and marketing expenses decreased by $0.33 million, or 58%, to $0.23 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $0.56 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The selling and marketing expenses mainly come from transportation and storage cost and the sales staff salaries cost decline.

 

General and Administrative Expenses. We experienced a decrease in general and administrative expense of $0.99 million from $2.16 million to approximately $1.18 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. This expense decrease was mainly due to kinds of expenses controlled and the disposal of the Anhui Ansheng in December 2022, where the corresponding administrative staff salary costs, the depreciation, the amortization expense and other management costs decreased comparing with the same period in the previous year.

 

Net Loss

 

Our net loss decreased by $1.02 million, or 44%, to a net loss of $1.28 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $2.30 million in net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

This decrease was mainly due to the aforementioned reasons, attributable to the decrease in the revenue in the current nine months period compared to the same period in 2022 and the disposal of the subsidiary Anhui Ansheng in December 2022. 

 

Operating Expenses

 

Selling and Marketing Expenses. Our selling and marketing expenses decreased by $0.78 million, or 52%, to $0.72 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $1.50 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Net Loss

 

Our net loss increased by $9.71 million, or more than 100%, to a net loss of $14.76 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $5.05 million in net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This decrease was mainly due to the disposal of the subsidiary Anhui Ansheng in December 2022.

 

Going Concern and Capital Resources

 

In assessing our liquidity, we monitor and analyze our cash-on-hand and operating and capital expenditure commitments. Our liquidity needs meet our working capital requirements, operating expenses, and capital expenditure obligations. In the reporting period in the fiscal period ended September 30, 2023, our primary sources of financing have been cash generated from operations.

 

As of September 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash) of $0.31 million and a working capital deficit of $5.16 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we have incurred a net loss of $14,764,145. These factors raise substantial doubt on our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. We expect to continue to finance our operations and working capital needs in 2023 from cash generated from operations and, if needed, private financings. Suppose available liquidity is insufficient to meet our operating and loan obligations as they come due. In that case, our plans include pursuing alternative financing arrangements or reducing expenditures as necessary to meet our cash requirements. However, there is no assurance that we will raise additional capital or reduce discretionary spending to provide liquidity if needed. We cannot be sure of the availability or terms of any alternative financing arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with the United States generally accepted accounting principles requires our management to make assumptions, estimates, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, including the notes to that, and related disclosures of commitments contingencies, if any.

 

We consider our critical accounting policies to require the more significant judgments and estimates in preparing unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, including those outlined in Note 2 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance arrangements.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not applicable. 

 

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES  

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2023. Based upon his evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective.

 

As a result, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.

 

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
