Description of Business
Jubilant Flame International, LTD was organized in the state of Nevada on September 29, 2009 under the name Liberty Vision, Inc. The Company provided web development and marketing services for clients through a wholly owned subsidiary until December 5, 2012, when the Company disposed of its subsidiary to a shareholder for a nominal sum. On December 16, 2012, the Company changed its name to Jiu Feng Investment Hong Kong, LTD. On August 18, 2015, the Company changed its name to Jubilant Flame International, Ltd.
Previously, the Company was engaged in the business of developing and marketing medical products, including Bone-Induction Artificial Bone and Vacuum Sealing Drainage under a license from BioMark. Starting the fourth quarter of fiscal year ended February 28, 2018, the Company has started a new line of business to promote and sell a new cosmetics product “Acropass” series in United States.

| Table of Contents |
The Company purchases the Acropass inventory from Rubyfield Holdings Limited, a Chinese company owned by the CEO of the Company (“Rubyfield”). Under a Resale Agreement between the Company and Rubyfield, the Company agrees to purchase Acropass products from Rubyfield.
The Company also has a Master Service Agreement (the “MSA”) with a third party (“Manager”). Pursuant to MSA, the Manager agrees to provide branding services, social media management services, ad campaign services, and manage and operate the Company’s online shopping platform in the United States and the Company’s Amazon account with respect to the sales of the Acropass products the Company has purchased from Rubyfield.
In the beginning of 2020, the Company ceased the marketing and selling of cosmetic products in the United States.
From the third quarter of year ended February 29, 2020, the company started to provide technical support services for development of new nutrition material and product to customers. The technical support focuses on a nutrition food series which is selling in the USA market. Currently, the nutrition food series include SEA-BUCKTHORN and Organic Sprouting Powder. The company’s technology background directors provide excellent technical service to manufacturers in the USA.
Principal Products and Service
By the third quarter of year ended February 29, 2020, the Company had purchased two type of Acropass products for resale in the United States from Rubyfield – Acropass Trouble Care for acne treatment and Acropass Ageless Lifter for wrinkle treatment (collectively, “Acropass Products”). The Acropass Products are made of hydrocolloid patches with dissolving microstructures. The microstructures contain hyaluronic acid and epidermal growth factor. Hyaluronic Acid is a natural moisturizing agent that delivers nutrients to skin cells and blocks water evaporation from the skin, enabling the skin to maintain adequate amounts of water. EGF protects the skin’s innate natural growth and robustness by preventing the appearance of skin aging and sagging. Both ingredients work together to improve the appearance of skin elasticity and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and acne.
The Company does not manufacture the Acropass Products and purchases the Acropass Products directly from Rubyfield for resale.
In the beginning of 2020, the Company ceased the marketing and selling of cosmetic products in the United States.
From the third quarter of year ended February 29, 2020, the company started to provide technical support services in connection with nutritionally oriented food that include Sea-Buckthourn and Organic Spouting Powder. The company’s technology background directors make our service match customers needs well.
Marketing and Distribution Methods
We do not have any brick-and-mortar stores and sells the Acropass Products directly to our customers on our own website or via Amazon. We hired the Manager to manage the sales and distribution of our products, but we did not engage any distributors to distribute our products. Based on our sales and inventories, we ordered additional inventory from Rubyfield under the Resale Agreement. Rubyfield then shipped the inventory from China to the Manager in the United States and the Manager fulfills our customers’ orders on the website and via Amazon.
Because we were essentially an online business, we directly targeted our customers by promoting our products on our website or via social media, internet advertisement and media reviews. On our products shopping website, http://www.acropass-shop.com/, we had detailed product descriptions, promotional videos and photos to educate our customers about our products and address potential concerns and questions from our customers.
In addition to our website, we also utilized social medical platforms to market our products. we had established a Facebook account that allows us to promote our skin care products and interact with our existing and potential customers. We also had presence on Instagram and Twitter and regularly launch social media campaign on different platforms until we ceased the marketing and selling of cosmetic products in the United States. In the beginning of 2020, the Company ceased the marketing and selling of cosmetic products in the United States.
As we just started our technical support service for development of nutrition food to manufacturers, our service expanding reply on referral currently.

Competition
The skin care product in the United States is very competitive. Brand recognition, quality of products, packaging, ingredients, celebrity effects and price are some of the many factors that impact consumers’ choices among competing products and brands. Marketing, promotion, merchandising, branding, and positive customer and media review have a significant impact on consumers’ buying decisions. We compete against a number of companies, most of which have substantially greater resources than we do.
Our principal competitors consist of well-known, multinational manufacturers and marketers, most of which design, manufacture, market and sell their products under multiple brand names. We also faced competition from smaller independent brands, skin care specialty websites, as well as some retailers. In the beginning of 2020, the Company ceased the marketing and selling of cosmetic products in the United States.
The company’s technical support service to nutrition food industry is unique. SEA-BUCKTHORN is highly beneficial to the heart disease, diabetes, and boost the immune system treatment. Organic Sprouting Powder contains high level of plant protein. We believe we will gain recognition among our targeted customers.
Principal Supplier
Rubyfield is the principal and sole supplier of the Company’s Acropass Products. The Company entered into a Resale Agreement with Rubyfield, pursuant to which the Company agrees to purchase Acropass Products from Rubyfield. The Resale Agreement expires on December 31, 2019 and the Company didn’t renew the agreement upon the expiration.
Intellectual Property
Through a Resale Agreement with Rubyfield, the Company has the rights to distribute Acropass Products in the United States. The Company does not own any intellectual property nor did the Company enter into any license arrangement with Raphas or Rubyfield with respect to Acropass Products or their intellectual property.
In addition to the promotional material provided by Rubyfield under the Resale Agreement, the Company created promotional material related to Acropass Products, including videos, photographs and marketing material. The Company owns the intellectual property rights to such promotional material.
From the third quarter of year ended February 28,2020, the company started new business line to provide technical support services of development of new healthy material and product to customers. The company believes its technology background directors may develop new intellectual property in this new service business area. The company has not generated revenue from this new business line.
Government Regulation
We do not need governmental approval to market and distribute our products in the United States but our products are regulated by the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) and the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act (FPLA) because they are considered cosmetics. FDA regulates cosmetics under the authority of these laws. Our products registered in the FDA volunteer registration program.
The FD&C Act defines cosmetics by their intended use, as “articles intended to be rubbed, poured, sprinkled, or sprayed on, introduced into, or otherwise applied to the human body...for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the appearance” (FD&C Act, sec. 201(i)). The FD&C Act prohibits the marketing of adulterated or misbranded cosmetics in interstate commerce. “Adulteration” refers to violations involving product composition--whether they result from ingredients, contaminants, processing, packaging, or shipping and handling. “Misbranding” refers to violations involving improperly labeled or deceptively packaged products. Under the FD&C Act, a product also may be misbranded due to failure to provide material facts. This means, for example, any directions for safe use and warning statements needed to ensure a product’s safe use.
In addition, under the authority of the FPLA, FDA requires a list of ingredients for cosmetics marketed on a retail basis to consumers (Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations. Cosmetics that fail to comply with the FPLA are considered misbranded under the FD&C Act. This requirement does not apply to cosmetics distributed solely for professional use, institutional use (such as in schools or the workplace), or as free samples.
FDA can take action against cosmetics on the market that are in violation of these laws, as well as companies and individuals who market such products.
FDA’s legal authority over cosmetics is different from their authority over other medical products they regulate. Under the law, cosmetic products and ingredients do not need FDA premarket approval, with the exception of color additives. However, FDA can pursue enforcement action against products on the market that are not in compliance with the law, or against firms or individuals who violate the law.
We have followed best practices guidelines to comply with all regulatory requirements.

Market Information

Although there is trading in our common stock from time to time, there is no established market for our common stock. In the past year, it has traded the price per share has been in the $0.018 to $0.078 range during the year ended February 28, 2022 These prices reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transaction values.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and shareholders of
Jubilant Flame International, Ltd.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Jubilant Flame International, Ltd. (“the Company”), as of February 28, 2022 and 2021, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended February 28, 2022 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of February 28, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended February 28, 2022, in conformity with U.S generally accepted accounting principles
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 3 to the financial statements and going concern assessment of critical audit matter below, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has stockholders’ deficit that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatements of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgement. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in anyway our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Going Concern Assessment
As described in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company prepared its financial statements on a going concern basis, and management has concluded that the Company has not generated sufficient income to sustain the operations. For the years ended February 28, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred net losses of USD 0.064 million and USD 0.084 million, respectively. As of February 28, 2022 and 2021, the accumulated deficit amounted to USD 3.66 million and USD 3.59 million, respectively and the current liabilities exceeded the current assets in the amount of USD 1.17 million and USD 1.12 million, respectively.
The principal consideration for our determination that performing procedures relating to the Company’s going concern assessment is a critical audit matter is the significant judgment by management related to the Company’s ability to raise funds and continue operations.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the financial statements. The procedure included confirming the personal commitment to provide financial support for the next twelve-months from the balance sheet date by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

JUBILANT FLAME INTERNATIONAL, LTD
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2022 AND FEBRUARY 28, 2021
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS
Jubilant Flame International, Ltd. (the “Company”), was formed on September 29, 2009 under the name Liberty Vision, Inc. The Company provided web development and marketing services for clients. On August 18, 2015, the Company changed its name to Jubilant Flame International, Ltd.
From the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended February 28, 2018, the Company started to market and sell cosmetics products imported from Asia, Acropass Series products, in the United States market. The Company purchased the inventory from a related party company in China. The Company contracted with a third party to operate the online shopping platform and marketing campaign in the United States until January 2020. In the beginning of 2020, the Company ceased the marketing and selling of cosmetic products in the United States.
From the third quarter of the year ended February 29, 2020, the company began its new business line of providing technical support services for development of new nutrition food products to sell to customers in USA. The company had not generated significant revenue from this new business by the year ended at February 28, 2022.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
The Company’s significant estimates include income tax provisions and valuation allowances of deferred tax assets; and the assumption that the company will continue as a going concern. Those significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to those estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.
Management regularly reviews its estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such reviews, and if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
| F-6 |
| Table of Contents |
Receivables
Receivables are stated at their carrying values, net of a reserve for doubtful accounts. Receivables consist primarily of amounts due from Sea-Buckthourn nutrition food technical support fee. At the year end of February 28, 2022, the company decided to write off total of $
Carrying Value, Recoverability and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company has adopted paragraph 360-10-35-17 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for its long-lived assets. The Company’s long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related long-lived asset or group of long-lived assets over their remaining estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. If long-lived assets are determined to be recoverable, but the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives are shorter than originally estimated, the net book values of the long-lived assets are depreciated over the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives.
The Company considers the following to be some examples of important indicators that may trigger an impairment review: (i) significant under-performance or losses of assets relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; (ii) significant changes in the manner or use of assets or in the Company’s overall business strategy; (iii) significant negative industry or economic trends; (iv) increased competitive pressures; (v) a significant decline in the Company’s stock price for a sustained period of time; and (vi) regulatory changes. The Company evaluates acquired assets for potential impairment indicators at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of such events.
The impairment charges, if any, are included in operating expense in the accompanying statements of income and comprehensive income (loss).
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect as of the date of the issuance of these financial statements.
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes. This guidance will be effective for entities for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020 on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2021 and the adoption of this guidance doesn’t have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
On June 16, 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326):
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduced an expected credit loss model for the impairment of financial assets measured at amortized cost basis. That model replaces the probable, incurred loss model for those assets. Through the amendments in that Update, the Board added Topic 326, Financial Instruments— Credit Losses, and made several consequential amendments to the Codification. This guidance will be effective for entities for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after January 1, 2023. The Company will adopt the new standard effective March 1, 2023 and does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
The Company has considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe the adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
| F-7 |
| Table of Contents |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale date of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.
The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:
| · | Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
| · | Level 2: Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
| · | Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available. |
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, due to related party and loan payable, approximate their fair values because of the current nature of these instruments. .
Commitments and Contingencies
Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.
Income Taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are provided for based upon differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
Operating, Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Operating, selling, general and administrative expenses include all operating costs of the Company.
Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during each period.
Since the company has incurred losses for all periods, the impact of the common stock equivalents would be anti- dilutive and therefore are not included in the calculation.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. As of February 28, 2022, the Company had a working capital deficit of $
The COVID-19 pandemic has had and continues to have a major slowdown effect on worldwide business activity. Although the Company does not anticipate any fundamental change in its business plans, management does expect some degree of unavoidable slowdown due to the Company’s inherent reliance on business activities from multiple external partners, clients outside our control. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company may raise additional capital through the sale of its equity securities, through an offering of debt securities, or through borrowings from financial institutions or related parties. By doing so, the Company hopes to generate sufficient capital to execute its new business plan in the nutrition food technical service sector on an ongoing basis. Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. There is no guarantee the Company will be successful in achieving these objectives. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In support of the Company’s efforts and cash requirements, it must rely on advances from related parties until such time that the Company can support its operations or attains adequate financing through sales of its equity or traditional debt financing. There is a formal written commitment for continued support by shareholders. The advances are considered temporary in nature and have not been formalized by a promissory note.
The CEO confirmed the personal commitment to provide financial support for the next twelve-months from the balance sheet date.

ITEM 9 CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
None.
ITEM 9A CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the sole officers, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on management’s evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Furthermore, smaller reporting companies face additional limitations. Smaller reporting companies employ fewer individuals and find it difficult to properly segregate duties. Smaller reporting companies tend to utilize general accounting software packages that lack a rigorous set of software controls.
Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2022. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that, as of February 28, 2022, our internal controls over financial reporting were ineffective because: (1) the Company lacks a functioning audit committee and there is a lack of independent directors on the board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) due to the lack of employees, the Company has inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (3) the Company has ineffective controls over its period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Executive Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of February 28, 2022. Because of our overall limited financial resources, we cannot estimate when we may begin to remediate any of the foregoing deficiencies and the time frame in which they will be remediated if and when begun.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that exempt smaller reporting companies from such requirement.
Changes in internal controls
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation described above that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Corporate Governance; Audit Committee and Other Committees
We do not have a separately-designated standing audit committee, and we do not have an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by SEC regulation. The Company’s Board of Directors performs some of the same functions of an audit committee, such as recommending a firm of independent certified public accountants to audit the financial statements; reviewing the auditors’ independence, the financial statements and their audit report; and reviewing management’s administration of the system of internal accounting controls. The Company does not currently have a written audit committee charter or similar document.
We do not have any other committees of the board of directors, such as compensation or nomination committees. The functions of these types of committees are currently carried out by the Board of Directors.
