QUARTA-RAD, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to the Consolidated and Condensed Unaudited Financial Statements
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated and condensed balance sheet of Quarta-Rad, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2020, and the statements of operations and changes in stockholders’ equity/deficit for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, and the cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 have not been audited. However, in the opinion of management, such information includes all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), which are necessary to properly reflect the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2020, the results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.
The consolidated and condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 has been derived from audited financial statements. Certain information and notes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for an entire year. These consolidated and condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
During April 2020, the Company acquired Quarta-Rad USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as a wholly owned subsidiary. There was no consideration paid for the shares. The purpose of the acquisition is to separate the sales of certain products in separate entities. There was no activity, assets or liabilities in the subsidiary through September 30, 2020.
NOTE 2 - NATURE OF BUSINESS
The Company distributes detection devices, including, but not limited to Geiger counters, to homeowners and interested customers in North America and Europe. The Company targets homebuilders and home renovation contractors.
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Advertising
The Company expenses advertising costs, consisting primarily of placement in multiple publications, along with design and printing costs of sales materials, when incurred. Advertising expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, amounted to $16,630, $37,717, $12,708, and $35,042, respectively.
Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market (net realizable value). The Company periodically reviews the value of items in inventory and provides write-downs or write-offs of inventory based on its assessment of market conditions. Write-downs and write-offs are charged to cost of goods sold. The Company’s inventory consists of finished goods available for sale. There were no write-offs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 or 2019.
| 8 |
Earnings per Share
The Company’s basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing its net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The Company’s dilutive earnings per share is calculated by dividing its net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. There were no potentially dilutive instruments outstanding at September 30, 2020.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 825, “Financial Instruments” include cash, trade accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses. All instruments are accounted for on a historical cost basis, which, due to the short maturity of these financial instruments, approximates fair value at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
FASB ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
| ● | Level 1.Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; | |
| ● | Level 2.Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and | |
| ● | Level 3.Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. |
Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include reserves for accounts receivable and inventory, and with the European VAT exposure accrual (Note 5).
Revenue Recognition
The Company follows guidance from FASB Accounting Standards Codification ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The guidance sets forth a new five-step revenue recognition model which replaces the prior revenue recognition guidance in its entirety and is intended to eliminate numerous industry-specific pieces of revenue recognition guidance that have historically existed in U.S. GAAP. The underlying principle of the new standard is that a business or other organization will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects to receive in exchange for the goods or services. The standard also requires more detailed disclosures and provides additional guidance for transactions that were not addressed completely in the prior accounting guidance.
Our principal activities from which we generate our revenue are product sales.
| 9 |
Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer. A contract with a customer exists when we enter into an enforceable contract with a customer. The contract is based on either the acceptance of standard terms and conditions on the websites for e-commerce customers and via telephone with our third-party call center for our print media and direct mail customers, or the execution of terms and conditions contracts with retailers and wholesalers. These contracts define each party’s rights, payment terms and other contractual terms and conditions of the sale. Consideration is typically paid prior to shipment via credit card or check when our products are sold direct to consumers or approximately 30 days from the time control is transferred when sold to wholesalers, distributors and retailers. We apply judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the customer’s historical payment experience and, in some circumstances, published credit and financial information pertaining to the customer.
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product to the customer, which for us is transfer of devices to our customers. Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the goods is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. We have concluded the sale of goods and related shipping and handling are accounted for as the single performance obligation.
The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as the customer receives the benefit of the performance obligation. The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which we will be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring goods to the customer. We issue refunds to e-commerce and print media customers, upon request, within 30 days of delivery. We estimate the amount of potential refunds at each reporting period using a portfolio approach of historical data, adjusted for changes in expected customer experience, including seasonality and changes in economic factors. For retailers, distributors and wholesalers, we do not offer a right of return or refund and revenue is recognized at the time products are shipped to customers. In all cases, judgment is required in estimating these reserves. Actual claims for returns could be materially different from the estimates. There was no reserve for sales returns and allowances, at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
We recognize revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation in a contract by transferring control over a product to a customer when product is shipped. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by us from a customer, are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfilment cost and are included in cost of product sales.

NOTE 4–RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company sells radiation monitors and to date has purchased all of its inventory from a company in Russia, which is owned by a minority shareholder of the Company. Total inventory purchased was $423,630 and $518,750 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and for the year ended December 31, 2019, respectively.
During July 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with the Russian Affiliate to develop and update software for a new device for $180,000. The development contract ended December 31, 2019.
The Company owes the Russian affiliate $126,390 and such amount is included in related party payables in the accompanying balance sheet at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The related payable balance is related to the research and development services including the July 2017 contract noted above.
Since inception, the Company has not compensated its CEO, who is the majority shareholder, and, as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, is due $43,948 and $21,918, respectively, for expenses paid by the shareholder on behalf of the Company, included in related party payables.
NOTE 5– COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Contingencies
The Company is currently undergoing a multi-year VAT tax examination by certain European tax authorities. As of September 30, 2020, the outcome of these examinations is uncertain, and the Company is disputing any amounts due. The estimated liabilities on the VAT tax exposure could anywhere from $0 to $125,000 based on estimates and information provided to management. The Company believes its exposure is limited and has accrued $100,000, which is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses, as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Actual results from this matter could differ from this estimate.
| 11 |
Legal
In the normal course of business, the Company may become involved in various legal proceedings. The Company knows of no pending or threatened legal proceeding to which the Company is or will be a party that, if successful, might result in material adverse change in the Company’s business, properties or financial condition.
NOTE 6–GOING CONCERN
The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. While the Company has established sources of capital to cover its operating costs, it incurred a loss for the first nine months of 2020 and cannot support a salary for its CEO, which causes substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to implement its business plan. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
Management intends to focus on raising funds and potential acquisitions going forward. The Company cannot provide any assurance or guarantee that it will be able to raise funds. Potential investors must be aware if it is unable to raise funds through the sale of its common stock and generate sufficient revenues, any investment made into the Company could be lost in its entirety.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 7–SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has performed an evaluation of events occurring subsequent to September 30, 2020 through November 13, 2020. Based on its evaluation, other than the note below, there is nothing to be disclosed herein.
NOTE 8 - COVID-19
On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus (the “COVID-19 outbreak”) and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally.
The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report. Management is actively monitoring the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity. However, if the pandemic continues, it may have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of future operations, financial position, and liquidity.
The uncertainty as to the future impact on the Company of the recent COVID-19 outbreak has been considered as part of the Company’s adoption of the going concern basis. Thus far, we have not observed a material impact on our sales in the first ten months of the year against the same period in the previous year.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations
The following is management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations and is provided as a supplement to the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements and notes to help provide an understanding of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows during the periods included in the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements.
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, “Company,” “the Company,” “us,” and “our” refer to Quarta-Rad, Inc., a Delaware corporation, unless the context requires otherwise.
We intend the following discussion to assist in the understanding of our financial position and our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. You should refer to the Financial Statements and related Notes in conjunction with this discussion.
Results of Operations
General
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 29, 2011 with fiscal year end in December 31. We were formed to distribute and sell detection devices to homeowners and interested consumers in North America. Initially, our business plan was to sell products on consignment from Star Systems Japan, a corporation owned by our majority shareholder. We purchased these products from Quarta-Rad, Ltd., a company owned by our minority shareholder. We also targeted direct-to-consumer sales since we believe we can distribute these products through the Internet. We have never been party to any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding, nor have we undergone any material reclassification, merger, consolidation, purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of business.
As of the date of this Form 10-Q, we continue to expand our operations and expect to increase our revenues with additional working capital. Our chief executive officer and director, Victor Shvetsky, and our director and president, Alexey Golovanov, are our only employees. Mr. Shvetsky and Mr. Golovanov will devote at least ten hours per week to us but may increase the number of hours as necessary. Beginning in 2013, we began purchasing the products from Quarta-Rad, Ltd., our related party supplier and it shipped the products to us. We then shipped the products to a third-party online retailer, to hold for Internet sales and sales to our third-party resellers.
Our administrative office is located at 1201 N. Orange St., Suite 700, Wilmington, DE 19801, which is a virtual office.
We continue to focus our business operations on the development of our distribution agreements and reseller network as well as continue to advertise on the Internet. We plan to continue to utilize our website to promote the products to home renovation contractors and other purchasers of detection devices. We are promoting the detection products by advertising our website and marketing to independent distributors and others interested in detection devices. We purchase the products from QRR, which is owned by our minority shareholder and is the original manufacturer for RADEX product line. Under an oral agreement with QRR, we have the exclusive distribution rights for sale of QRR products in Europe and the US for a period of 10 years. We sell the products we purchase from QRR directly to third party buyers and to resellers. The purchase terms require us to prepay for the products we purchase at a price that is set forth in each purchase order. In October 2018, our United Kingdom retail platform was suspended due to certain UK restrictions. We are in the process of becoming compliant in order to lift these restrictions and exploring and testing new partners for EU distribution. We have reserved $100,000 on our balance sheet as accrued expenses in connection with this matter.
Critical Accounting Policy and Estimates. Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section discusses our condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these condensed financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our condensed financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources. In addition, these accounting policies are described at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis and in the notes to the condensed financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, together with notes thereto, which are included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Three months ended September 30, 2020 compared with the three months ended September 30, 2019
Revenues. Our net revenues decreased $50,951, or 19.48% to $210,630 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared with $261,581 for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was due to a decrease in the sale of our RD1503 model. We attribute the decrease to a decrease in demand.
Cost of Goods Sold. Our Cost of Goods Sold decreased $7,284 or 4.02% to $173,706 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $180,990 for the comparable period in 2019. The decrease is due to the decrease in sales during the quarter. We had a decrease in our gross margins due to increased shipping costs and underperforming sales in the EU.
Operating Expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, our total operating expenses decreased $58,625 or 58.13% to $42,219 compared to $100,844 for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease is primarily attributable to the Company’s reduction in prior VAT accruals and research and development expense.
Net Loss. Our net loss decreased $14,958 or 73.86% to $5,295 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to a net loss of $20,253 for the comparable period in 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in operating expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we used cash for operating expenses from cash on hand and the sale of products on the Internet and from independent, third party resellers.
Nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2019
Revenues. Our net revenues decreased $85,393 or 12.05% to $623,217 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared with 708,610 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was due to a decrease in the sale of our RD1503 Model. We attribute the decrease to a decrease in demand.
Cost of Goods Sold. Our Cost of Goods Sold decreased $5,512 or 1.10% to $497,708 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $503,220 for the comparable period in 2019. The decrease is due to a decrease in sales. We had a decrease in our gross margins due to increased shipping costs and underperforming sales in the EU.
Operating Expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our total operating expenses decreased $140,202 or 51.95% to $129,664 compared to $269,866 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease is primarily attributable to the Company’s reduction in professional fees, prior VAT accruals and research and development expense.
Net Loss. Our net loss decreased $60,321, or 93.56% to $4,155 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to a net loss of $64,476 for the comparable period in 2019. The increase was primarily due a reduction of operating expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we used cash for operating expenses from cash on hand and the sale of products on the Internet and from independent, third party resellers.
Our total assets were $253,953 and $244,937 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, consisting of $118,338 and $41,962, respectively, in cash. Our working capital deficit was $33,995 and $29,840 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
| 14 |
We had $76,376 in cash provided by and $6,227 in cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
We had no cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
We had no cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
We do not have sufficient funds for pursuing our plan of operation, which includes acquisitions, but we are in the process of trying to procure funds sufficient to fund our plan. There can be no assurance that we will be able to procure funds sufficient for such purpose. If operating difficulties or other factors (many of which are beyond our control) delay our realization of revenues or cash flows from operations, we may be limited in our ability to pursue our business plan. Moreover, if our resources from obtaining additional capital or cash flows from operations, once we commence them, do not satisfy our operational needs or if unexpected expenses arise due to unanticipated pressures or if we decide to expand our business plan beyond its currently anticipated level or otherwise, we will require additional financing to fund our operations, in addition to anticipated cash generated from our operations. Additional financing might not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If adequate funds were not available or were not available on acceptable terms, our ability to fund our operations, take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, develop or enhance our business or otherwise respond to competitive pressures would be significantly limited. In a worst-case scenario, we might not be able to fund our operations or to remain in business, which could result in a total loss of our stockholders’ investment. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders would be reduced, and these newly issued securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing stockholders.
The Company had no formal long-term lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements as of September 30, 2020.
The Company has no current plans for the purchase or sale of any plant or equipment.
The Company has no current plans to make any changes in the number of employees.
Impact of Inflation
The Company believes that inflation has had a negligible effect on operations over the past quarter.
Capital Expenditures
The Company expended no amounts on capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Plan of Operation
Our business strategy is to continue to market our website (www.quartarad.com). We have used our website to market products for sale to consumers as well to third party distributors. We will continue to strengthen our presence on e-commerce sites. We are also focusing on expanding our reseller network by targeting large consumer retail chains.
The number of detection devices, which we will be able to sell will depend upon the success of our marketing efforts through our website and the distributors that we will enter into agreement with to sell the products.
We intend to implement the following tasks within the next twelve months:
Inventory:
We intend to purchase inventory to increase our sales. We believe that these funds will be initially sufficient for us to increase our inventory from Quarta-Rad, Ltd. The amount needed for inventory purchases is directly related to the demand for sales of our product.
Marketing: (Estimated cost $25,000-$75,000). In addition to the website modification costs, we intend to increase our marketing efforts on the Internet to generate leads and sales. We will also utilize funds to develop marketing brochures and materials to market the products to industry professionals such as home renovation contractors.
| 15 |
Secure Distribution Agreements: (Estimated cost $10,000). We plan to seek and secure distribution agreements for the sale of our detection devices.
Our management does not anticipate the need to hire additional full or part- time employees over the next three (3) months, as the services provided by our officers and directors and our independent contractor appear sufficient at this time. We believe that our operations are currently on a small scale that is manageable by these two individuals as well as our independent contractor. Our management’s responsibilities are mainly administrative at this stage. While we believe that the addition of employees is not required over the next three (3) months, the professionals we plan to utilize will be considered independent contractors. We do not intend to enter into any employment agreements with any of these professionals. Thus, these persons are not intended to be employees of our company.
We currently do not own any equipment that we would seek to sell in the near future; we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements; and we have not paid for expenses on behalf of our directors.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
Forward Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 2 of Part I of this report include forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (collectively, the “Reform Act”). The Reform Act provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about themselves so long as they identify these statements as forward-looking and provide meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ from the projected results. All statements, other than statements of historical fact that we make in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking. The words “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “will continue,” “estimates,” “plans,” “projects,” the negative of these terms and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean the statement is not forward-looking.
Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties or other factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from the future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These statements are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions, which in turn are based on currently available information. Certain risks, uncertainties or other important factors are detailed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and may be detailed from time to time in other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including on Forms 8-K and 10-K.
We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for us to predict all those risks, nor can we assess the impact of all those risks on our business or the extent to which any factor may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. We believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable. However, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and unless required by law, we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to update publicly any of them considering new information or future events.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our condensed financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the condensed financial statements. The estimates are based on historical experience and assumptions believed to be reasonable under current facts and circumstances. Actual amounts and results could differ from these estimates made by management. Certain accounting policies that require significant management estimates and are deemed critical to our results of operations or financial position are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and Note 1 to the Condensed Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information required by this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure of controls and procedures.
The Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s officer, its president, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2020 based on the criteria establish in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the 2013 Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on the foregoing evaluation, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2020 and that they do not allow for information required to be disclosed by the 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 Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive and Principal Accounting & Financial Officers as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The material weaknesses relate to the following:
| ● | We do not have adequate segregation of duties in the handling of our financial reporting. This is caused by a very limited number of personnel. | |
| ● | Our accounting staff does not have sufficient technical accounting knowledge relating to accounting for income taxes and complex US GAAP matters. | |
| ● | The Company has not performed a risk assessment and mapped our process to control objectives. | |
| ● | The Company has not implemented comprehensive entity-level internal controls. | |
| ● | The Company has not implemented adequate system and manual controls. |
Plan for Remediation of Material Weaknesses
We intend to take appropriate and reasonable steps to make the necessary improvements to remediate this deficiency as resources to do so become available. We intend to consider the results of our remediation efforts and related testing as part of our year-end 2020 assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
Such remediation would entail enhancing the training and oversight of the accounting personnel responsible for non-routine transactions involving complex accounting matters and engaging the services of an independent consultant with sufficient expertise in income tax and complex U.S. GAAP matters to assist us in the preparation of our financial statements.
Management believes that the aforementioned material weaknesses did not impact our financial reporting or result in a material misstatement of our condensed financial statements.
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
