Explanatory Note:
This Amendment Number One (“Amendment Number 1”) to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 (as filed with the Commission on 30 March 2020) (“Form 10-K Report”) by Capstone Companies, Inc., a Florida corporation, (“Company”) is being filed solely to: (1) include this Explanatory Note and a signature page; (2) restate Item 9A Controls and Procedures of the Form 10-K Report to read in its entirety as stated below; (3) file Exhibits 31.3 and 31.4 to this Amendment Number 1; and (4) revise Part IV, Item 15. Exhibits to reflect filing of Exhibits 31.3 and 31.4 to this Amendment Number 1. The revisions to Item 9A are made to provide a statement about effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures and eliminate duplicative statement about effectiveness of internal control of financial reporting. Because no financial statements are included with this Amendment Number 1, paragraph 3 of the certifications in Exhibits 31.3 and 31.4 has been omitted. Similarly, because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment Number 1, certifications pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 have been omitted.
Item 9A of the Form 10-K Report reads in its entirety as follows.

Item 9A CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information that would be required to be disclosed in Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to Company’s management, including to Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, Company’s management, including Stewart Wallach, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and James McClinton, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2019. Based on that evaluation, Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer determined that, as of December 31, 2019, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act)
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Company management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and effected by Company’s Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of Company’s financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and includes those policies and procedures that:
| (1) | pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the<br><br> <br>transactions and dispositions of Company assets; |
|---|---|
| (2) | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of<br><br> <br>financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that<br><br> <br>Company receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization<br><br> <br>of Company management and directors; and |
| (3) | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized<br><br> <br>acquisition, use or disposition of Company assets that could have a material effect on<br><br> <br>the financial statements. |
Company management assessed the effectiveness of Company’s internal control over financial reporting. In making this assessment, management used the framework set forth in the report entitled “Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, Company management concluded that Company internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2019.
Because the Company is a smaller reporting company, this Form 10-K Report does not include an attestation report of Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Company’s management's report was not subject to attestation by Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
3
Management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s internal controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of internal controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Also, any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls in future periods are subject to the risk that those internal controls may become inadequate because of changes in business conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act)
During the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2019, there were no changes in Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Except as stated above in Explanatory Note and under restated Item 9A, this Amendment No. 1 speaks as of the original filing date of the Form 10-K Report, does not reflect events that may have occurred subsequent to the original filing date of the Form 10-K Report and does not modify or update the disclosures made in the Form 10-K Report.
