Note 3 – Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

We provide our products and services under fixed-price and cost-reimbursable contracts. Under fixed-price contracts we agree to perform the specified work for a pre-determined price. To the extent our actual costs vary from the estimates upon which the price was negotiated, we will generate more or less profit or could incur a loss. Cost-reimbursable contracts provide for the payment of allowable costs incurred during performance of the contract. We also enter into cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts. The fixed-fee in a cost-plus-fixed-fee contract is negotiated at the inception of the contract and that fixed-fee does not vary with actual costs. We account for a contract after it has been approved by all parties to the arrangement, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable.

We assess each contract at its inception to determine whether it should be combined with other contracts. When making this determination, we consider factors such as whether two or more contracts were negotiated and executed at or near the same time or were negotiated with an overall profit objective. If combined, we treat the combined contracts as a single contract for revenue recognition purposes.

We evaluate the products or services promised in each contract at inception to determine whether the contract should be accounted for as having one or more performance obligations. The products and services in our contracts are typically not distinct from one another due to their complex relationships and the significant contract management functions required to perform under the contract. Accordingly, our contracts are typically accounted for as one performance obligation. Significant judgment is required in determining performance obligations, and these decisions could change the amount of revenue and profit recorded in a given period. We classify net sales as products or services on our condensed statements of operations and comprehensive income based on the predominant attributes of the performance obligations.

We determine the transaction price for each contract based on the consideration we expect to receive for the products or services being provided under the contract. Our contracts do not include variable consideration. At the inception of a contract we estimate the transaction price based on our current rights and do not contemplate future modifications. Contracts are often subsequently modified to include changes in specifications, requirements or price, which may create new or change existing enforceable rights and obligations. Depending on the nature of the modification, we consider whether to account for the modification as an adjustment to the existing contract or as a separate contract. Generally, modifications to our contracts or delivery orders are distinct and will be accounted for as a separate contract.

We recognize revenue as performance obligations are satisfied and the customer obtains control of the products and services. In determining when performance obligations are satisfied, we consider factors such as contract terms, payment terms and whether there is an alternative future use of the product or service. Substantially all of our revenue is recognized over a period of time as we perform under the contract because control of the work in process transfers continuously to the customer. This continuous transfer of control of the work in process to the customer is supported by contract provisions that allow the customer to unilaterally terminate the contract for convenience, pay us for costs incurred plus a reasonable profit, and take control of any work in process.

For performance obligations to deliver products with continuous transfer of control to the customer, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation, generally using the cost-to-cost measure of progress for our contracts because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer as we incur costs on our contracts. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs to complete the performance obligation. For performance obligations to provide services to the customer, revenue is recognized over a period of time based on costs incurred as our customer receives and consumes the benefits.

Backlog (i.e., unfulfilled or remaining performance obligations) represents the sales we expect to recognize for our products and services for which control has not yet transferred to the customer. The estimated consideration is determined at the outset of the contract and considers the risks related to the technical, schedule and cost impacts to complete the contract. Periodically, we review these risks and may increase or decrease backlog accordingly. As the risks on such contracts are successfully retired, the estimated consideration from customers may be reduced, resulting in a reduction of backlog without a corresponding recognition of sales. As of March 31, 2018, our ending backlog was $4.9 million. For arrangements with the Department of Defense (“DoD”), we generally do not begin work on contracts until funding is appropriated by the customer. Billing timetables and payment terms on our contracts vary based on a number of factors, including the contract type.

Warranty Expense

The Company provides a limited warranty, as defined by the related warranty agreements, for its production units. The Company’s warranties require the Company to repair or replace defective products during such warranty period. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its warranty and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of units sold, expected and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and cost per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amount as necessary. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized a net warranty recovery which is a component of the Company’s cost of sales of $0 and $(141,300), respectively. Since the inception of the ADEPT IDIQ contract in March 2010, the Company has delivered 200 ADEPT units. As of March 31, 2018, there are 11 ADEPT units that remain under the limited warranty coverage.

Intangible Assets

The majority of the Company’s intangible assets is a license acquired during 2015. In July 2015, the Company purchased certain software products, intellectual property and related assets from VSE Corporation. The primary software programs purchased were the Prognostics Framework (PF) and Diagnostic Profiler (DP) programs. The Diagnostic Profiler software is used worldwide by several multinational companies for optimized maintenance of diverse product lines. The Diagnostic Profiler is also used by the US Air Force for depot test programs, and Prognostics Framework is used by the US Army for several missile defense systems.

Licenses are amortized using a straight-line method over their estimated life of six years. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, amortization expense related to the Company’s licenses amounted to $5,250 and $5,250, respectively, and are included in general and administrative expenses on the Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

Note 5 – Income Tax Matters

The Company conducts an on-going analysis to review its net deferred tax asset and the need for a related valuation allowance. As a result of this analysis and the actual results of operations, the Company has (increased) decreased its net deferred tax assets by $(9,901) and $35,169 during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The change in deferred tax assets is attributable to the changes in various book/tax differences.

In December 2017, new legislation was signed into law reducing the corporate U.S. tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, fully repealing the corporate alternative minimum tax and making the NOL carryforward period indefinite for NOLs generated after 2017. In accordance with ASC Topic 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are required to be measured at the enacted tax rate expected to apply when temporary differences are to be realized or settled. As of December 31, 2017, the Company re-measured its deferred tax balances based upon the new 21% tax rate.

While the Company has completed its provisional analysis of the income tax effects of the new legislation and recorded a reasonable estimate of such effects, the amounts recorded related to the new legislation may differ, possibly materially, due to, among other things, further refinement of the Company’s calculations, changes in interpretations and assumptions that the Company has made, additional guidance that may be issued by the U.S. Government, and actions and related accounting policy decisions the Company may take as a result of this legislation. The Company will complete its analysis over a one-year measurement period ending no later than December 22, 2018, and any adjustments during this measurement period will be included as an adjustment to income tax expense/benefit in the reporting period when such adjustments are determined.

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

The following discussion and analysis summarizes the significant factors affecting the operating results, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows of our Company as of and for the periods presented below and should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed financial statements and related information contained herein and in our audited financial statements as of December 31, 2017.

Mikros Systems Corporation (the “Company”, “we” or “us”) designs and manufactures software, hardware and electronic systems used to maintain complex distributed systems. Examples of such systems include defense equipment such as radars and combat systems, and commercial and industrial applications such as printing presses, power distribution, and utility systems, and Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) systems.

Over the past decade, our principal customer has been the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), primarily the U.S. Navy. We provide the following two key systems to the Navy for maintenance of radars and combat systems:

More recently, we have developed and marketed software products to analyze maintenance data collected from target systems, optimize maintenance procedures, and predict failures. Our Prognostics Framework® (PF) and Diagnostic Profiler® (DP) products provide software capabilities which complement our maintenance hardware products (ADEPT and ADSSS) and allow us to provide complete hardware/software solutions for advanced maintenance, particularly of complex distributed systems. Now that we have a complete hardware/software solution for advanced maintenance, we are expanding into commercial and industrial markets.

Revenues from our government contracts represented substantially all of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2017. We believe that we can utilize the intellectual property developed under our various SBIR awards to develop proprietary products for both the government and commercial marketplace.

Adaptive Diagnostic Electronic Portable Testset (ADEPT). ADEPT is an automated maintenance workstation designed to significantly reduce the time required to align the AN/SPY-1 Radar System aboard U.S. Navy Aegis cruisers and destroyers, while optimizing system performance and readiness. ADEPT Systems are currently deploying on all Aegis CG and DDG platforms to support the AN/SPY1 radar system. Since the system uses commercial instrument case and modules, ADEPT units can be modified to support both preventative maintenance and condition-based maintenance of other radars and complex electronic systems in military or commercial applications. In that regard, we have a service contract with the U.S. Navy to extend ADEPT to a second U.S. Navy radar system, the SPS-49. These services are expected to assist in optimizing performance for the Ballistic Missile Defense Mission. As of the date of this report, we have delivered a total of 200 ADEPT units.

ADEPT Distance Support Sensor Suite (ADSSS). In 2013, we started development of ADSSS for the Navy’s Littoral Combat Ship (“LCS”). ADSSS is a network-enabled system that can be configured to monitor multiple shipboard systems and report maintenance data onshore for further analysis to detect trends and predict failures. ADSSS provides an open architecture approach with industry standard hardware, and cybersecurity compliant software to acquire and process system operational and maintenance data. ADSSS fully automates the capture of system operation, environment and maintenance data to provide unattended operation. The system monitors key parameters and sends alert notifications when parameters move out of tolerance. We expect ADSSS to be used on both variants of the LCS, currently planned to be at least 32 ships. ADSSS, with its remote monitoring and prognostics capabilities, has also generated interest in other ship classes, including Aegis, and we are currently pursuing several related opportunities.

Diagnostic Profiler. The Diagnostic Profiler is an integrated development environment for developing diagnostic capabilities used in maintenance, embedded diagnostics and troubleshooting applications. The software provides diagnostic services to its host application, including fault call-outs, suggested “next best” test to further isolate faults, and direct maintenance actions. When additional faults are identified, the software prioritizes the fault call-outs by probability. The use of the diagnostic profiler eliminates the need for the development and maintenance of diagnostic flow charts and hard-coded text sequences. This reduces the effort required to correct bugs and design changes and over the life of the system, could result in significant cost savings.

Prognostics Framework. Prognostics Framework is an analysis software for framework that implements real-time prognostics, diagnostics, and status monitoring to support embedded prognostic applications, health management systems and condition-based maintenance applications. The Prognostics Framework software institutes an information framework that organizes relevant data related to: (i) the condition of the system; (ii) the system’s ability to perform required functions over specific time intervals; and (iii) the need for maintenance actions and repair parts. The Prognostics Framework has been used to implement a complete health management system on one of the first radar systems to require prognostics as a key element of its overall solutions. Other potential applications include complex computer networks, power generators, power supply, cooling and environmental systems.

In March 2016, we received a contract award valued at approximately $0.15 million to provide Initial System Familiarization Training of the ADEPT system on all CG-47 and DDG-51 Class ships.

In April 2016, we received three contracts to continue logistics support of the ADEPT maintenance automation workstation. A contract valued at approximately $0.3 million to provide ADEPT General Engineering and Support was awarded, along with two other logistics contracts to perform necessary updates, repair and calibration on the ADEPT units, totaling $0.25 million. Along with the contracts received for our ADEPT product, we received a follow on contract in the amount of $0.1 million, for technical support on the USS Fort Worth (LCS3) using the latest version of our ADSSS.

In July 2016, we received two additional contract modifications for our current service contract for LCS systems using the ADSSS, which added an additional $4.65 million for ongoing development. This funding will extend the program until June 2018 and allow us to perform installations and support for the LCS classes.

In September 2016, we were awarded and entered into a multi-year IDIQ contract with the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division, relating to our ADSSS product. The contract has a term of five years and provides for the purchase and sale of up to $48 million of ADSSS units and related engineering and logistics support. The IDIQ contract covers the first eight ships of the 28 ship program. The first delivery order in the amount of $3.0 million was awarded on September 15, 2016 to perform installations, support and logistics for the LCS class.

In September 2016, we received multiple contracts totaling approximately $0.4 million to continue logistics support of the ADEPT maintenance workstation. These contracts include general engineering support, repair, calibration and training.

In February 2017, we were awarded a follow-on multi-year Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase III IDIQ contract with the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division, for our ADEPT program. The contract provides for the purchase and sale of up to $35.1 million of ADEPT units and related engineering, such as calibration, repair, training and other logistics services. The first delivery order in the amount of $1.1 million was awarded in February 2017 to build eleven ADEPT systems for continuing fleet support on all Aegis cruisers and destroyers.

In March and April 2017, we were awarded the second, third and fourth delivery orders under the ADEPT IDIQ Contract. The second delivery order covers for engineering services in the amount of $11.5 million which will be funded incrementally and facilitate the engineering and technical support for the ADEPT program during the next three years. The third delivery order contract for $0.6 million is to provide sustainment services, such as calibration, repair, evaluations, and screenings of ADEPT units to be performed in our Manufacturing and Depot (M&D) Center in Largo, Florida. The fourth delivery order for $0.1 million is to provide training to sailors in the fleet to operate the ADEPT maintenance automation workstation.

In April 2017, we received contract awards totaling $2.0 million from the U.S. Navy to extend the capabilities of the ADSSS Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) system to support a fourth Navy radar system, the MK 99. The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) office in Dahlgren, VA provided $0.5 million of the total funding to support this effort.

In July 2017 and November 2017, we received modifications which added funding to our ADEPT IDIQ Contract, for engineering services in the amounts of $0.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively. These awards will allow us to continue to support the ADEPT product line in the fleet, implement necessary software enhancements, and provide general support of the program.

In August 2017, we received a modification to our ADEPT sustainment delivery order, adding $0.5 million to allow our manufacturing and depot center in Largo, Florida, (“M&D Center”) to continue to provide bi-annual sustainment services for units from the fleet cycling through our M&D Center. The sustainment efforts include implementing modifications of existing units (54 in total) awaiting fielding.

In September 2017, we received a delivery order in the amount of $2.4 million for the production and delivery of additional ADEPT units. These new units will continue our fleet support on Aegis cruisers and destroyers in the U.S. Navy. In 2018, we received additional modifications to our ADEPT IDIQ Contract and incremental awards for continued engineering services in the aggregate amount of $0.42 million. This funding will support necessary software enhancements to sustainment services for the ADEPT product out of our M&D Center.

In February and March 2018, we received modifications to our ADEPT sustainment delivery orders, adding $0.25 million to allow us to continue to provide bi-annual sustainment services for units from the fleet cycling through the M&D Center. In addition to those sustainment services, it allows our team at the M&D Center to provide training to sailors in the fleet to operate the ADEPT maintenance automation workstation.

Between January 2018 through April 2018, we received multiple contract awards which added funding to our ADEPT IDIQ Contract for Engineering Services. The total amount awarded in the first quarter of 2018 was $0.5 million and an additional $1.6 million was awarded in April 2018. This funding will allow us to continue supporting the ADEPT product line in the fleet and implementing necessary software enhancements to increase readiness.

As substantially all of our revenue is derived from contracts with the Federal government, our key performance indicator is the dollar volume of contracts and task orders awarded to us under our IDIQ contracts. Increases in the number and value of contracts and trade orders awarded will generally result in increased revenues in future periods and, assuming relatively stable variable costs associated with our fulfilling such awards, increased profits in future periods. The timing of such awards is uncertain as we sell to Federal government agencies where the process of obtaining such awards can be lengthy and at times uncertain. As the substantial majority of our revenue in 2017, and expected revenue in 2018, is or will be from sales of ADEPT units and ADSSS systems under our IDIQs contract, continued generation of task orders and our ability to expand the market and potential customer base for ADEPT units will be a key indicator of future revenue. ADEPT units must be serviced and calibrated every two years. Accordingly, as we continue to increase the installed base of ADEPT units and expand the units to other radar systems, we expect to generate future recurring maintenance and service revenue.

Our strategy for continued growth is based on continuing expansion of our defense business and executing new initiatives to apply our advanced maintenance technology in commercial markets. With regard to the defense industry, we expect to continue expanding our technology base, backlog and revenue by continuing our active participation in the DoD SBIR program and bidding on projects that fall within our areas of expertise. These areas include electronic systems engineering and integration, radar systems engineering, combat/C4I (Command, Control, Communications, Computers & Intelligence) systems engineering, and communications engineering. We believe that we can utilize the intellectual property developed under our various SBIR awards to develop proprietary products, such as ADEPT and ADSSS, with broad appeal in both the government and commercial marketplace. Our state-of-the-art test equipment can be used by many commercial and governmental customers such as the FAA, radio and television stations, cell phone stations, and airlines. Second, we will continue to pursue SBIR projects with the Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. Navy, and other government agencies. Third, we believe that through our marketing of products, such as ADEPT, we will develop key relationships with prime defense contractors. Our strategy is to develop these relationships into long-term, key subcontractor roles on future major defense programs awarded to these prime contractors.

With regard to commercial markets, our Diagnostics Profiler and Prognostics Framework software offerings complement our hardware products and allow us to provide complete hardware/software solutions for advanced maintenance applications. Current customers for these systems include major multinational corporations such as HP, which recently extended our Diagnostic Profiler software support with for a fifth year. We continue to receive repeat orders from these customers to support their applications. We plan to provide “condition-based maintenance” systems for applications such as FAA radar surveillance and support systems, power distribution and utilities infrastructure, commercial shipping, cooling and environmental systems, and other “complex distributed systems” to commercial customers. In that regard, we are currently developing a condition-based maintenance solution for heating ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC) equipment based on our proprietary Prognostics Framework solution. We have deployed two active pilot systems that are providing key maintenance data on a daily basis to service technicians.

In 2018, our primary strategic focus is to continue as a premium provider of R&D and product development services to the defense industry, generate multiple task orders under our two IDIQ contracts, and expand our commercial business through marketing and sales of our Prognostics Framework and Diagnostic Profiler software products. We will also seek to generate incremental revenue through providing light assembly and production services to commercial customers at our M&D Center.

Over the longer term, we intend to further develop advanced maintenance technologies and implement these technologies in products for deployment in defense applications and to expand into more commercial applications. We believe that many of our core capabilities, remote monitoring, rugged systems, predictive maintenance and communications expertise, are applicable to other industries that work with complex distributed systems, such as utilities, communications and transportation systems. We are currently in discussions with certain industry participants regarding this initiative.

During recent years, the combination of spending caps, discretionary spending cuts, sequestration and further changes in defense spending and priorities have caused, and may in the future continue to cause, delays in funding certain projects. This may negatively impact our revenues and profits.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as amended (commonly referred to as ASC 606), which replaces numerous requirements in U.S. GAAP, including industry-specific requirements, and provides companies with a single revenue recognition model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers and significantly expanded the disclosure requirements for revenue arrangements. The new standard, as amended, was effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2018.

We adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective transition method. Results for reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2017 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, the accounting standard in effect for periods ending prior to January 1, 2018.

We generated revenues of $2,490,660 during the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to $1,754,973 during the three months ended March 31, 2017, an increase of $735,687, or 42%. The increase was due primarily to a production order for 26 ADEPT units in September 2017, increase in revenue from engineering contracts, and the receipt of additional contracts for engineering services, support and repairs and calibration services.

Cost of sales consists of direct contract costs including labor, material, subcontracts, warranty expense for ADEPT units that have been delivered, travel, and other direct costs. Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $1,177,032 compared to $651,536 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, an increase of $525,496 or 81%. The increase was due primarily to the receipt of a production order for 26 ADEPT units in September 2017, increase in revenues from engineering contracts received in 2017, and the receipt of additional contracts for engineering services, support and repairs and calibration services. As a percentage of revenue, cost of sales increased to 47% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to 37% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase was due primarily to the change of the mix of costs incurred in 2018 specifically, increases in direct labor, material and subcontract costs related to engineering service contracts.

The majority of our engineering costs consist of (i) salary, wages and related fringe benefits paid to engineering employees, (ii) rent-related costs, and (iii) consulting fees paid to engineering consultants. As the nature of these costs benefit the entire organization and all research and development efforts, and their benefit cannot be identified with a specific project or contract, these engineering costs are classified as part of “engineering overhead” and included in operating expenses. Engineering costs for the three months ended March 31, 2018 were $640,293 compared to $517,180 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, an increase of $123,113, or 24%. The increase in 2018 was due to increases in engineering salaries and fringe benefits for additional employees hired in 2017, recruiting costs, incentive compensation, engineering consulting fees, and training for engineers.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salary, intellectual property, consulting fees and related costs, professional fees, business insurance, franchise tax, SEC compliance costs, travel, and unallowable expenses (representing those expenses for which the government will not reimburse us, including independent research and development which consists of research and development expenses unrelated to our defense contracts). General and administrative costs for the three months ended March 31, 2018 were $451,678 compared to $408,903 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, an increase of $42,775, or 10%. The increase was due primarily to increases in bid and proposal salaries, insurance costs, and professional fees.

At March 31, 2018, we estimated our annual effective tax rate for 2018 to be 31%. We recognized a tax expense of $68,812 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. At March 31, 2018, the difference from the statutory federal income tax rate is attributable to state income taxes and certain permanent book-tax differences. In December 2017, new legislation was signed into law reducing the corporate U.S. tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. Tax expense was $34,000 less under the lower 2018 rate than it would have been using the prior statutory tax rate.

We reported a net income of $153,305 for the three months ended March 31 2018 as compared to $90,307 for the three months ended March 31 2017, an increase of $62,998 or 70%. The increase was attributable primarily to the increase in revenues during the first quarter of 2018 which was offset by cost of sales increases in excess of our increase in revenue which was partially offset by smaller increases in our general and administrative expenses and engineering expenses, and a lower federal income tax rate.

Since our inception, we have financed our operations through debt, private and public offerings of equity securities, and cash generated by operations.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, net cash provided by operations was $262,905 compared to net cash provided by operations of $497,615 during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease was primarily due to the timing of receipts and payments related to our operating assets and liabilities.

Net cash used in investing activities was $19,317 in the three months ended March 31 2018 as compared to $8,348 in the three months ended March 31 2017, an increase of $10,969. The increase was due to the purchase of additional equipment, and furniture and fixtures, related to an expansion of our offices in Pennsylvania.

On January 31, 2018, we entered into a $550,000 credit facility with PNC Bank. The facility matures on January 31, 2019 and accrues interest at a variable rate equal to the Daily LIBOR Rate plus 250 basis points. Interest is paid monthly. Principal borrowings may be prepaid at any time without penalty and the facility is secured by substantially all of our assets. The facility contains customary affirmative and negative nonfinancial covenants. As of the date of this report, no amounts were outstanding under the facility.

In order to pursue strategic opportunities, obtain additional SBIR contracts, or acquire strategic assets or businesses, we may need to obtain additional financing or seek strategic alliances or other partnership agreements with other entities. In order to raise any such financing, we anticipate considering the sale of additional debt or equity securities under appropriate market conditions. There can be no assurance, assuming we successfully raise additional funds or enter into business alliances, that we will remain profitable or continue to generate positive cash flow.

We believe our available cash resources and expected cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund operations for the next twelve months. We do not expect to incur any material capital expenditures during the next twelve months.

As of March 31, 2018, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partners, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, established for the purpose of facilitating off- balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

An evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) was carried out by us under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer, who serves as our principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer concluded that as of March 31, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure (i) that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our president, in order to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d- 15(f)) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

On February 28, 2018, we issued 7,000 shares of common stock to an employee upon exercise of options at an exercise price of $0.05 per share. The foregoing securities were issued in a private placement transaction pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, without general solicitation or advertising of any kind and without payment of placement agent or brokerage fees to any person.

*This certification is deemed not filed for purposes of section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
