Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
The Vemanti Group Inc. is focused on revolutionizing the hospitality industry through digital innovation, seamlessly integrating new revenue streams without disrupting existing operations. We are a holding company that operates principally through our wholly owned subsidiary, VinHMS Pte. Ltd. ("VinHMS"). VinHMS was incorporated in Singapore on November 1, 2023. VinHMS is a technology solutions provider specializing in digital transformation for the hospitality industry across Southeast Asia. VinHMS's native cloud-based platforms focus on reducing overall costs, streamlining processes, enhancing operational efficiency, accelerating new innovations, improving guest experiences, and increasing financial performance for hotel operators utilizing artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and proprietary advanced algorithms. In addition to its flagship hospitality management solution, CiHMS, VinHMS offers a suite of products, including asset management ("CiAMS"), theme park management ("CiTMS"), and a digital transformation solution for small hotels ("CiTravel").
Business Combination and Organization
On April 1, 2024, Vemanti entered into a share exchange agreement (the "Share Exchange Agreement") with VinHMS Pte. Ltd., a Singapore private company limited by shares ("VinHMS"), and Mr. Hoang Van Nguyen and Asian Star Trading & Investment Pte. Ltd. ("Asian Star"), the sole shareholders of VinHMS (the "Shareholders"), whereby Vemanti will acquire VinHMS for $20,000,000 through the issuance of 10,000,000 Preferred B Shares and the transfer of 40,000,000 Preferred A Shares from Mr. Tan Tran to Mr. Hoang Van Nguyen and Asian Star Trading & Investment Pte. Ltd.. Each Preferred B share can be converted into 26 Common shares after a 12-month lock-up agreement which was executed on April 1, 2024. As of today, no Preferred B shares have been converted. Any conversion can only be executed on or after April 1, 2025. As part of the transaction, Vemanti disposed of VoiceStep LLC thereby transferring it to Mr. Tan Tran. VinHMS Pte. Ltd. is now the only wholly owned subsidiary of Vemanti.
The Business Combination is being accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Vemanti, who is the legal acquirer, is being treated as the "acquired" company for financial reporting purposes and VinHMS is being treated as the accounting acquirer. This determination was primarily based on the following facts and circumstances:
o |
VinHMS stockholders have 100% of the voting interests of the Preferred A shares; |
|
o |
VinHMS' CEO has been named as the CEO of the Company; |
|
o |
the directors nominated by VinHMS represent the majority of the board of directors of the Company; |
|
o |
VinHMS is the larger entity, in terms of substantive operations and employee base; |
|
o |
VinHMS' operations comprise the ongoing operations of the Company. |
Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination is being treated as the equivalent of a reverse recapitalization transaction in which VinHMS issued stock for the net assets of Vemanti. The net assets of Vemanti are being stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination are those of VinHMS. Certain prior period amounts in the consolidated and combined financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Basis of Presentation
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 28, 2024, and notes thereto. In preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates and assumptions included in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements relate to allowances for doubtful accounts, valuation allowance for deferred income taxes and recoverability of other assets and intangible assets.

Table of Contents |
VEMANTI GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("US GAAP") which contemplates the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated significant operating revenues to cover costs and has funded its operations through the issuance of capital stock and financing.
There is no certainty that further funding will be available as needed. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue operating as a going concern. The Company's ability to continue its operations as a going concern, realize the carrying value of its assets, and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business is dependent upon the continued support of its controlling shareholders, its ability to raise capital sufficient to fund its commitments and ongoing losses, and ultimately generating profitable operations.
Reclassification
Certain amounts reported in the prior year condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, VinHMS Pte. Ltd. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates made by management include, among others, allowances for doubtful accounts, valuation allowance for deferred income taxes and recoverability of other assets and intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. It is possible that accounting estimates and assumptions may be material to the Company due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment involved.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash in time deposits, certificates of deposit, and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had no cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivables
The Company regularly reviews its accounts receivables for collectability and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts as necessary using the allowance method. The receivables are not collateralized. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts at both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
The Company estimates the ability to collect receivables by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition. Estimates are based on assumptions and other considerations, including payment history, credit ratings, customer financial performance, industry financial performance and aging analysis. The Company reviews its accounts receivable by aging category and to identify customers with known disputes or collection issues. In determining the allowance, the Company makes judgments about the creditworthiness of a majority of its customers based on ongoing credit evaluations. The Company also considers its historical level of credit losses and current economic trends that might impact the level of future credit losses. Accounts receivables are written-off when they are deemed uncollectible.

VEMANTI GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Equipment
Equipment is stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of equipment was provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with estimated lives as follows:
Software licenses |
5 years |
Computer equipment |
5 years |
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no equipment to depreciate.
Intangible Assets
The Company holds intangible assets with finite lives. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives, ranging from three to ten years, based on a pattern in which the economic benefit of the respective intangible asset is realized.
Identifiable intangible assets recognized in conjunction with acquisitions are recorded at fair value. Significant unobservable inputs are used to determine the fair value of the identifiable intangible assets based on the income approach valuation model whereby the present worth and anticipated future benefits of the identifiable intangible assets were discounted back to their net present value.
The Company evaluates the recoverability of intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an intangible asset carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company annually evaluates the remaining useful lives of all intangible assets to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization.
The Company has intangible assets related to its hospitality suite of products including:
· |
CiHMS, hospitality management solution; |
|
· |
CiAMS, hospitality asset management; |
|
· |
CiTMS, theme park management; and, |
|
· |
CiTravel, a digital transformation solution for small hotels. |
The software was acquired from VINHMS Software Production and Trading Joint Stock Company and as such no step-up in basis was recorded on the transaction. As of September 30, 2024, all of the products have been fully amortized. At December 31, 2023, the Company had no intangible assets to amortize.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. ASC 360 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review at September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company believes there was no impairment of its long-lived assets.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the core principle of which is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, five basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligation(s) in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
The Company recognizes revenues derived from the subscriptions of its hotel management software. These revenues are accounted for as a single performance obligation satisfied over time because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the Company's performance on a monthly basis. These arrangements stipulate monthly billing, and the Company has elected the "as invoiced" practical expedient to recognize revenue as the services are consumed as the Company has the right to payment in an amount that corresponds directly with the value of performance completed to date.
Taxes collected from customers and remitted to a governmental authority are reported on a net basis and are excluded from revenue. Revenue is billed in advance on a fixed-rate basis. The remainder of revenue is billed in arrears on a transactional basis determined by customer usage.
The Company often bills customers for upfront charges. These charges relate to down payments, implementation fees or prepayments for future services or equipment and are influenced by various business factors including how the Company and customer agree to structure the payment terms. These payments are recognized as deferred revenue until the service is provided or equipment is delivered and installed. All ongoing fees are billed and recognized as revenue on a monthly basis as service is provided.
The Company uses a related party, VINHMS Software Production and Trading Joint Stock Company ("VinHMS VN"), to collect revenue from its Vietnam customers through a sales and distribution agreement until December 31, 2024, at which time the contracts will be renewed with VinHMS Pte. Ltd. VinHMS pte. Ltd. pays a commission of 15% of sales to VinHMS VN to perform this service. These revenues are recognized net of the 15% commission fees as Vemanti is acting as an agent.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. FASB ASC Topic 718 requires companies to measure compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation at fair value at the grant date and recognize the expense over the employee's requisite service period. The Company recognizes in the condensed consolidated statements of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and consultants. Nonemployee share-based payment equity awards are measured at the grant-date fair value of the equity instruments and recognized as an expense over the requisite service period.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires a company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Under ASC 740, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is "more likely than not" that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the "more likely than not" test, no tax benefit is recorded.

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Earnings (loss) per share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options and warrants were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. There are no potentially dilutive securities outstanding during all periods presented.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company applies the provisions of ASC 820-10, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures". ASC 820-10 defines fair value and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:
• |
Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
|
• |
Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. |
|
• |
Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |
For certain financial instruments, the carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, investments, and current liabilities, each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of the loan from stockholder due to its related party nature.
At September 30, 2024, the Company identified a note payable that is required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value (see NOTE 7 - Note Payable). At December 31, 2023, the Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value.
Recent Authoritative Guidance
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity, to address the complexity in accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. This ASU significantly changes the guidance on the issuer's accounting for convertible instruments and the guidance on the derivative scope exception for contracts in an entity's own equity so that fewer conversion features will require separate recognition and fewer freestanding instruments, like warrants with require liability treatment. ASU 2020-06 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021. This guidance was adopted on January 1, 2022, and at December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2024, there is no material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statement and disclosures.
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04, Issuer's Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options - a Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force. There has been diversity in accounting for modifications of equity-classified warrants due to a lack of explicit guidance in the Codification. Some entities recognize an expense, while other record a dividend for an economically similar warrant modification. The FASB issued the ASU to reduce this diversity and establish a principles-based recognition framework according to the substance of the modification transaction. ASU 2021-04 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim period within those fiscal years. This guidance was adopted on January 1, 2022, and at December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2024, there is no material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statement and disclosures.
Management does not believe any other recently issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncement, if adopted, would have a material impact effect on the Company's present or future financial statements.

NOTE 4 - Acquisition
On April 1, 2024, Vemanti entered into a share exchange agreement (the "Share Exchange Agreement") with VinHMS Pte. Ltd., a Singapore private company limited by shares ("VinHMS"), and Mr. Hoang Van Nguyen and Asian Star Trading & Investment Pte. Ltd. ("Asian Star"), the sole shareholders of VinHMS (the "Shareholders"), whereby Vemanti will acquire VinHMS for $20,000,000 through the issuance of 10,000,000 Preferred B Shares and the transfer of 400,000,000 Preferred A Shares from Mr. Tan Tran to Mr. Hoang Van Nguyen and Asian Star Trading & Investment Pte. Ltd. ("Business Combination"). Each Preferred B share can be converted into 26 Common shares after a 12-month lock-up agreement which was executed on April 1, 2024. As of today, no Preferred B shares have been converted. Any conversion can only be executed on or after April 1, 2025. VinHMS Pte. Ltd. is now the only wholly owned subsidiary of Vemanti.
The Business Combination is being accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Vemanti, who is the legal acquirer, is being treated as the "acquired" company for financial reporting purposes and VinHMS is being treated as the accounting acquirer. This determination was primarily based on the facts and circumstances noted in the Section: "Business Combination and Organization" in Note 1. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination is being treated as the equivalent of a reverse recapitalization transaction in which VinHMS issued stock for the net assets of Vemanti.
In the reverse capitalization transaction, the 10,000,000 Preferred B shares issued and the 40,000,000 Preferred A shares that were transferred have been recast as the opening equity of VinHMS Singapore. The effect of the reverse merger on the common shares and the net assets of Vemanti have been shown on a single line in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders' Equity. The net assets of Vemanti are being stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination are those of VinHMS.

The following discussion and analysis are based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report, which we have prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. You should read the discussion and analysis together with such consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto.
Overview
Vemanti, incorporated on April 3, 2014, under the laws of the State of Nevada, has pivoted away from a financial technology ("fintech") focus to a technology company that will revolutionize the hospitality industry through digital innovation, seamlessly integrating new revenue streams without disrupting existing operations. It primarily seeks to generate revenues in the emerging markets of Vietnam and Southeast Asia. In particular, we aim to lead the sector's transformation by enhancing both guest experiences and operational efficiencies.
Until June 16, 2022, we held an 18.6% ownership interest in Fvndit which, through its subsidiaries, operates an online short-term P2P financing platform for SMEs in Vietnam. On June 16, 2022, the Company executed and consummated the transactions contemplated by a stock purchase agreement (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") entered into by and between the Company and Fvndit. Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Fvndit purchased from the Company all of the shares of Fvndit's common stock then owned by the Company and certain accounts receivable of approximately $25,000 that were due from Fvndit to the Company in consideration for certain assets of Fvndit related to providing a peer-to-peer investment marketplace in Vietnam that matches companies needing working capital funds with investors wishing to provide those funds. As a result of the sale, the Company no longer owns any shares of Fvndit.
On April 1, 2024, Vemanti entered into a share exchange agreement (the "Share Exchange Agreement") with VinHMS Pte. Ltd., a Singapore private company limited by shares ("VinHMS"), and Mr. Hoang Van Nguyen and Asian Star Trading & Investment Pte. Ltd. ("Asian Star"), the sole shareholders of VinHMS (the "Shareholders"), whereby Vemanti will acquire VinHMS for $20,000,000 through the issuance of 10,000,000 Preferred B Shares and the transfer of 40,000,000 Preferred A Shares from Mr. Tan Tran to Mr. Hoang Van Nguyen and Asian Star Trading & Investment Pte. Ltd. Each Preferred B share can be converted into 26 Common shares after a 12-month lock-up agreement which was executed on April 1, 2024. As of today, no Preferred B shares have been converted. Any conversion can only be executed on or after April 1, 2025. As part of the transaction, Vemanti disposed of VoiceStep LLC thereby transferring it to Mr. Tan Tran. VinHMS Pte. Ltd. is now the only wholly owned subsidiary of Vemanti.

The Business Combination is being accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Vemanti, who is the legal acquirer, is being treated as the "acquired" company for financial reporting purposes and VinHMS is being treated as the accounting acquirer. This determination was primarily based on the following facts and circumstances:
o |
VinHMS stockholders have 100% of the voting interests of the Preferred A shares; |
|
o |
VinHMS' CEO has been named as the CEO of the Company; |
|
o |
the directors nominated by VinHMS represent the majority of the board of directors of the Company; |
|
o |
VinHMS is the larger entity, in terms of substantive operations and employee base; |
|
o |
VinHMS' operations comprise the ongoing operations of the Company. |
Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination is being treated as the equivalent of a reverse recapitalization transaction in which VinHMS issued stock for the net assets of Vemanti. The net assets of Vemanti are being stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination are those of VinHMS.
VinHMS is a technology solutions provider specializing in digital transformation for the hospitality industry across Southeast Asia. VinHMS's native cloud-based platforms focus on reducing overall costs, streamlining processes, enhancing operational efficiency, accelerating new innovations, improving guest experiences, and increasing financial performance for hotel operators utilizing artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and proprietary advanced algorithms. In addition to its flagship hospitality management solution, CiHMS, VinHMS offers a suite of products, including asset management ("CiAMS"), theme park management ("CiTMS"), and a digital transformation solution for small hotels ("CiTravel").
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized approximately $273,597 and $948,565, respectively, in net sales. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we incurred a net loss of $128,036 and $371,786, respectively.
As reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, we generated cash from operations of $309,879 and had a net profit from operations of $206,181 and an accumulated deficit of $374,131 as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
While we believe in the viability of our strategy to generate sufficient revenues and in our ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances that we will be successful or that our cash position will be sufficient to support our daily operations. Our continued existence is dependent upon our ability to continue to execute our operating plan and to obtain additional debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance the necessary debt or equity financing will be available or will be available on terms acceptable to our Company. Accordingly, we may decide to exit our existing business and explore potential strategic alternatives, including establishing a new business, or target an existing business for acquisition, without restriction to any specific business, industry or geographical location.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Historically, our primary uses of cash have been to finance working capital needs. We expect that we will be able to meet our needs to fund operations, capital expenditures and other commitments in the next 12 months primarily with our cash balance and operating cash flows.
However, the Company may choose to raise additional capital through a debt or equity financing in order to pursue additional acquisition or strategic investment opportunities. Additional capital, if required, may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all.
Currently, the Company has sufficient cash to remain in business for the next 12 months.
The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVEDISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Not applicable because we are a smaller reporting company.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, with the participation and supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not, in design and operation, effective at a reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below. Because of our limited operations, we have a limited number of employees which prohibits a segregation of duties. In addition, we lack a formal audit committee with a financial expert. As we grow and expand our operations, we will engage additional employees and experts as needed. However, there can be no assurance that our operations will expand.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act 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.
Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, in designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business but cannot assure you that such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial reporting.
