THE CORETEC GROUP INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Business Organization, Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

Nature of Business

The Coretec Group Inc. (the “Group”) (formerly 3DIcon Corporation) (“3DIcon”) was incorporated on August 11, 1995, under the laws of the State of Oklahoma as First Keating Corporation. The articles of incorporation were amended August 1, 2003 to change the name to 3DIcon Corporation. During 2001, First Keating Corporation began to focus on the development of 360-degree holographic technology. From January 1, 2001, 3DIcon’s primary activity has been the raising of capital in order to pursue its goal of becoming a significant participant in the development, commercialization and marketing of next generation 3D display technologies.

Coretec Industries, LLC (“Coretec”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Group (collectively the “Company”), was organized on June 2, 2015 in the state of North Dakota. Coretec is currently developing, testing, and providing new and/or improved technologies, products, and service solutions for energy-related industries including, but not limited to oil/gas, renewable energy, and distributed energy industries. Many of these technologies and products also have application for medical, electronic, photonic, display, and lighting markets among others. Early adoption of these technologies and products is anticipated in markets for energy storage (Li-ion batteries), renewable energy (BIPV), and electronics (Asset Monitoring).

Reverse Acquisition

On May 31, 2016, the Group entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Coretec and four Coretec members (the “Members”), which Members held all outstanding membership interests in Coretec. On September 30, 2016 (the “Closing Date”), the Group closed the transaction contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Members agreed to sell all their membership interests in Coretec to the Group in exchange for the Group’s issuance of an aggregate 4,760,872 shares of the Group’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to the Members (the “Exchange”). Coretec became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group and the former Members beneficially owned approximately 65% of the Group’s common stock on a fully-diluted basis on the Closing Date. Upon the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, two of the Group’s Directors resigned and three new Directors associated with Coretec were nominated and elected, giving control of the board of directors to former Coretec Members.

Authorization of Reverse Stock Split

On February 21, 2017 (the “Record Date”), the Board of Directors unanimously approved, and a majority of the Company’s stockholders, as of the Record Date, approved by written consent pursuant to Section 18-1073 of the Oklahoma Act, to permit the Company’s Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, to effectuate one or more consolidations of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock at some future date no later than the first anniversary of the Record Date, pursuant to which the shares of common stock would be combined and reclassified into one validly issued fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock at a ratio (the “Reverse Split Ratio”) within the range of 1-for-50 and up to 1-for-300 (the “Reverse Split Range”), with each stockholder otherwise entitled to receive a fractional share of common stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Effective June 28, 2017, a Reverse Stock Split pursuant to the maximum stated Reverse Split Ratio, each 300 shares of our issued and outstanding common stock was automatically converted into 1 share of common stock.

F-5

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s year-end audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in the previously filed Form 10-K, and in the opinion of management, reflects all adjustments necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated financial position of the Company. The condensed consolidated results of operations for interim periods may not be indicative of the results which may be realized for the full year.

Note 2 – Going Concern and Management’s Plans

The Company has realized a cumulative net loss of $3,401,378 for the period from inception (June 2, 2015) to September 30, 2018, has negative working capital of $2,642,809, and no revenues. The Company has insufficient revenue and capital commitments to fund the development of its planned products and to pay operating expenses. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a year following the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern depends on the successful completion of the Company's capital raising efforts to fund the development of its planned products. The Company intends to continue to raise additional capital through grants and debt and equity financings. There is no assurance that these funds will be sufficient to enable the Company to fully complete its development activities or attain profitable operations. If the Company is unable to obtain such additional financing on a timely basis or, notwithstanding any request the Company may make, the Company’s debt holders do not agree to convert their notes into equity or extend the maturity dates of their notes, the Company may have to curtail its development, marketing and promotional activities, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately the Company could be forced to discontinue its operations and liquidate.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplates the continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Group and its wholly owned subsidiary, Coretec. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.

F-6

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument held by the Company:

Current assets and current liabilities - The carrying value approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these items.

Notes payable - The fair value of the Company’s notes payable has been estimated by the Company based upon the liability’s characteristics, including interest rate. The carrying value approximates fair value.

Beneficial Conversion Feature of Convertible Notes Payable

The Company accounts for convertible notes payable in accordance with the guidelines established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, and EITF 00-27, Application of Issue No 98-5 To Certain Convertible Instruments. The beneficial conversion feature of a convertible note is normally characterized as the convertible portion or feature of certain notes payable that provide a rate of conversion that is below market value or in-the-money when issued. The Company records a beneficial conversion feature related to the issuance of a convertible note when issued.

The beneficial conversion feature of a convertible note is credited to additional paid-in-capital. The intrinsic value is recorded in the consolidated financial statements as a debt discount and such discount is amortized over the expected term of the convertible note and is charged to interest expense.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Common Share

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other instruments to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

Basic and diluted loss per shares are calculated the same for all periods presented due to the net loss. The following securities are excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive common shares because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

	September 30,
	2018		2017
Options		2,883,379		284,166
Warrants		1,061		65,228
Series A convertible preferred stock		115,000		115,000
Series B convertible preferred stock		-		41,842,241
Convertible debentures		166,249,033		61,122,346
Total potentially dilutive shares		169,248,473		103,428,981

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Based upon the evaluation, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements, except as disclosed in Note 7.

F-7

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The following is a summary of recent accounting pronouncements that are relevant to the Company:

In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2018-07 – Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Non-Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The new guidance aligns the requirements for nonemployee share-based payments with the requirements for employee share-based payments. The Company does not expect the amendment, which is effective beginning with our 2019 fiscal year, to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”). ASU 2016-01 addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments, specifically equity investments and financial instruments measured at amortized cost. ASU 2016-01 is effective for public companies for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. ASU 2016-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 will make eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for public companies for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2016-15 did not have a material impact on the Company’s cash flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued accounting standards update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) intended to increase transparency and comparability among companies by requiring most leases to be included on the balance sheet and by expanding disclosure requirements. This is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted for all public business entities and all nonpublic business entities upon issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this new guidance may have on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows, financial position and disclosures.

The FASB has issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in FASB ASC 605 - Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Codification. The standard requires that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. On July 9, 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 from annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations because the Company currently has no revenue.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. This ASU provides a screen to determine when a set is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. The amendments in this ASU are effective beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods and should be applied prospectively. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This ASU simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill test. Under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and labilities following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and labilities assumed in a business combination. Instead, an entity should perform its annual, or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. The amendments in this ASU are effective beginning after December 15, 2019, however early adoption is permitted beginning January 1, 2017 and should be applied on a prospective basis. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, Golden State applied $25,341 to fund the exercise of warrants under the terms of the 4.75% convertible debenture.

4.75% Convertible debenture due December 2018

On November 3, 2006, the Company issued to Golden State a 4.75% convertible debenture in a principal amount of $100,000, due December 31, 2014 and subsequently extended to December 31, 2018 and warrants to buy 61 post-split equivalent shares of common stock at a post-split exercise price of $114,450 per share. In connection with each conversion, Golden State is expected to simultaneously exercise a percentage of warrants equal to the percentage of the principal being converted. On January 8, 2018, Golden State converted $225 of the 4.75% convertible debenture into 244,618 shares of common stock at $0.0009 per share and exercised 0.2143 warrants at $114,450 per share for $24,525.

7% Convertible promissory note due March 2019, related party

On March 30, 2017, the Company issued to Mr. Victor Keen, Co-Chairman of the Board of Directors, a 7% convertible promissory note in a principal amount of $250,000, due March 1, 2019 (“Maturity Date”). The promissory note shall automatically convert into eight percent (8%) of the fully diluted outstanding shares of common stock of the Company calculated after giving effect to (a) the exercise of all outstanding options, warrants or other rights to acquire shares of common stock of the Company, (b) the conversion of all outstanding convertible or exchangeable securities, and (c) after giving effect to the issuance of common stock upon conversion of this note (the “Conversion Shares”). The conversion shall not occur until both of the following two events shall have occurred (the “Conversion Event”): (i) the consummation of the Reverse Split by the Company as reflected in the Preliminary Information Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 7, 2017, and (ii) the conversion of all the Company’s issued and outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into the Conversion Shares. If the Conversion Event has not occurred prior to the earlier to occur of the Maturity Date and the occurrence of an event of default, then this note shall not be automatically converted into the Conversion Shares and Mr. Victor Keen may elect, at his sole discretion, (i) to have the outstanding principal balance of this note converted into the Conversion Shares; or (ii) to declare the outstanding principal balance of this note, together with all accrued interest, be paid in accordance with the terms of the note. Such election may be made at any time on or following the Maturity Date or the occurrence of an event of default. This note is an unsecured obligation of the Company. The embedded conversion option was deemed to be a beneficial conversion feature because the active conversion price was less than the commitment date market price of the common stock. The dollar amount of the beneficial conversion feature is limited to the carrying value of the promissory note, so a $250,000 debt discount was recorded, with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital for the beneficial conversion feature. The debt discount is being amortized over the life of the debt and $97,830 and $65,577 was amortized during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 respectively.

Note 5 – Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation, Claims, and Assessments

The Company may be involved in legal proceedings, claims and assessments arising in the ordinary course of business.

North Dakota State University Research Foundation License Agreement

Under the terms of the Exclusive License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) signed on June 16, 2016 with North Dakota State University Research Foundation (“NDSU/RF”), the Company was delinquent on payments of $139,789 and unable to meet certain milestones. A dispute arose between the Company and NDSU/RF regarding compensation and deliverables. The License Agreement was renegotiated with NDSU/RF and on June 29, 2018, the Company entered into a settlement agreement and general release (the “Settlement Agreement”) with NDSU/RF to resolve the dispute, pursuant to which the Company and NDSU/RF fully and forever released each other from the License Agreement and mutually released each other of all claims. Accordingly, the Company recognized a gain of $139,789 for the settlement of accounts payable on June 25, 2018.

Supply Agreement

On December 13, 2016, the Company entered into a Supply Agreement (the “Supply Agreement”) with Gelest Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Gelest”). This Supply Agreement was for the purchase and sale of Cyclohexasilane (“CHS” or the “Products”) as set forth in the Supply Agreement, pursuant to which the Company agrees to use Gelest as a primary source to manufacture the Products for the duration of three years from the effective date.

F-11

Under the terms of the Supply Agreement, Gelest would have scaled-up production of CHS, within their available capacity of 12-18 Kg per year, and further optimize the manufacturing process licensed by the purchaser from NDSU Research Foundation (“NDSU/RF”). The term of this project was 90 days from the receipt of the first installment of YSi6Cl14 salt from the purchaser. The cost for scale-up and manufacturing optimization was $180,000 to be paid by the purchaser in two installments. The initial installment of $18,000 was paid upon finalizing this Supply Agreement. The second installment of $162,000 was to be paid net 30 days from availability for shipment of between 200 – 400 grams of the initial product of the quality stated in the Supply Agreement.

On April 6, 2018, Gelest and the Company mutually agreed to cancel the December 13, 2016 CHS Supply Agreement. The Company is currently negotiating an agreement with Gelest where Gelest will provide CHS storage and handling, website and catalog listings of CHS produced by or for the Company for sale to its customers, and customer service, including trans-fill of customer cylinders.

Office Lease

The Company entered into a lease agreement in June 2015 for office space in North Dakota that was canceled on April 30, 2017 with no cancellation costs paid or due. The Company has an amended office lease in Tulsa, Oklahoma that expired on July 31, 2018. Rent expense for operating leases was $17,358 and $25,000 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company is now on a month to month basis under the terms of the lease.

Note 6 – Options Issued to Purchase Common Stock

On March 21, 2017, the Company and Mr. Michael Kraft entered into a consulting agreement, pursuant to which the Company granted Mr. Kraft an option to purchase from the Company $50,000 of common stock at the market price on the date of the execution of the Reverse Split, which became effective on June 28, 2017. Accordingly, the $50,000 value of options calculates to 208,160 shares based upon the $0.24 closing price on June 28, 2017.

The $50,000 estimated fair value of the option to purchase common stock issued in 2017 was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected dividend yield of $0 is based on the average annual dividend yield at the date issued. Expected volatility of 260.52% is based on the historical volatility of the stock. The risk-free interest rate of 1.84% is based on the U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity rates as of the issue date. The expected life of the option of ten years is based on historical exercise behavior and expected future experience.

Note 7 – Subsequent Events

Subsequent to September 30, 2018, the Company issued 295,372 shares of common stock in payment of $13,012 of consulting services.

Plan of Operation

Background:

On June 22, 2017, The Coretec Group Inc. (the “Group”) filed an Amended Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Oklahoma to change its name from “3DIcon Corporation” to “The Coretec Group Inc.”, which became effective on June 29, 2017.

The Group, formerly known as 3DIcon Corporation, was incorporated on August 11, 1995, under the laws of the State of Oklahoma. The Group’s primary activity has been the raising of capital in order to pursue its goal of becoming a significant participant in the development, commercialization and marketing of next generation 3D display technologies.

On September 30, 2016 (the “Closing Date”), we closed a transaction contemplated by a Share Exchange Agreement dated May 31, 2016 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Coretec Industries, LLC (“Coretec”). Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, Coretec became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group (collectively, the “Company”). Coretec was organized on June 2, 2015 in the state of North Dakota. It is currently developing, testing, and providing new and/or improved technologies, products, and service solutions for medical, electronic, photonic, display, and lighting markets among others.

The combination of the two companies provides a significant number of opportunities to increase shareholder value by:

●

Providing technological support to advance the refinement of CSpace image material;

●

Adding recognized expertise to the team;

●

Creating the opportunity for near-term revenue; and

●

Adding a significant portfolio of Intellectual Property.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was $100,858 as compared to $96,427 for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The approximately $4,000 increase was a result of the increase in the amount of our notes payable and debentures payable outstanding during the period.

Other Income

The Company recognized a gain of $139,789 for the settlement of accounts payable during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Management remains focused on controlling cash expenses. We recognize our limited cash resources and plan our expenses accordingly. We intend to leverage stock-for-services whenever possible. The operating budget consists of the following expenses:

●	Research and development expenses pursuant to the development of an initial demonstrable prototype and a second prototype for static volume technology.
●	Acceleration of research and development through increased research personnel as well as other research agencies.
●	General and administrative expenses: salaries, insurance, investor related expenses, rent, travel, website, etc.
●	Hiring executive officers for technology, operations and finance.
●	Professional fees for accounting and audit; legal services for securities and financing; patent research and protection.

Our independent registered public accountants, in their audit report accompanying our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to our organization having insufficient revenues to fund development and operating expenses.

We had net cash of $9,256 at September 30, 2018.

We had negative working capital of $2,642,809 at September 30, 2018.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we used $569,376 of cash for operating activities, a net increase of $27,852 or 5% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The net increase in the use of cash for operating activities was a result of a decrease in the net loss of $504,774 and the increase in the amortization of debt discount of $56,022, the increase in stock issued for services of $11,994, the decrease in amortization of intangible assets of $10,001, offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $434,217, a gain on settlement of accounts payable of $139,789, a decrease in options issued for services of $50,000 and an increase in prepaid expenses of $36,744.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, there was $-0- of net cash provided by investing activities, a decrease of $232 or 100% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease was a result of no investing activity in 2018.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, there was $108,002 of net cash provided by financing activities, a decrease of $448,509 or 81% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease was a result of $474,460 decrease in proceeds from note advances from a related party, an increase in proceeds from exercise of warrants of $23,765 and a $2,186 decrease in payments on our insurance premium financing.

We expect to fund the ongoing operations through the existing financing in place and through raising additional funds as permitted by the terms of Golden State financing.

Our ability to fund the operations of the Company is highly dependent on the underlying stock price of the Company.

There is no assurance that we’ll be successful in raising additional funds on reasonable terms or that the funding will be sufficient to enable us to fully complete our development activities or attain profitable operations. If we are unable to obtain such additional financing on a timely basis or, notwithstanding any request we may make, our debt holders do not agree to convert their notes into equity or extend the maturity dates of their notes, we may have to curtail development, marketing and promotional activities, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately, we could be forced to discontinue our operations and liquidate.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not engage in any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, and results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

Significant Accounting Policies

There has been no change in the significant accounting policies summarized in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, which was filed on April 2, 2018.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Company is a smaller reporting company, as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1) and is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2018. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits 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 by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level as we do not have sufficient resources in our accounting function, which restricts the Company’s ability to gather, analyze and properly review information related to financial reporting in a timely manner. In addition, 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, management will engage financial consultants and perform additional analysis and other procedures to help address this material weakness. Until remediation actions are fully implemented, and the operational effectiveness of related internal controls are validated through testing, the material weaknesses described above will continue to exist.

Notwithstanding the assessment that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective and that there is a material weakness as identified herein, we believe that our condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report fairly present our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods covered thereby in all material respects.

Changes in Disclosure Controls and Procedures. There has been no change in our disclosure controls and procedures identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2018, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our disclosure controls and procedures.

PART II

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are not a party to any pending legal proceeding, nor is our property the subject of a pending legal proceeding, that is not in the ordinary course of business or otherwise material to the financial condition of our business. None of our directors, officers or affiliates is involved in a proceeding adverse to our business or has a material interest adverse to our business.
