ALTEROLA BIOTECH, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2024
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS, LIQUIDITY & GOING CONCERN
After formation, the Company was in the business of mineral exploration. On May 3, 2010, the Company sold its mineral exploration business and entered into an Intellectual Property Assignment Agreement ("IP Agreement") with Soren Nielsen pursuant to which Mr. Nielsen transferred his right, title and interest in all intellectual property relating to certain chewing gum compositions having appetite suppressant activity (the "IP") to the Company for the issuance of 55,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock.
Following the acquisition of the IP the Company changed its business direction to pursue the development of chewing gums for the delivery of Nutraceutical/functional ingredients for applications such as appetite suppressant, cholesterol suppressant, vitamin delivery, antioxidant delivery and motion sickness suppressant.
On January 19, 2021, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with ABTI Pharma Limited, a company registered in England and Wales ("ABTI Pharma"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of ABTI Pharma from its shareholders in exchange for 600,000,000 shares of the Company pro rata to the ABTI Pharma shareholders. The shares were issued on January 29, 2021 in anticipation of the closing and the parties to the transaction agreed in a March 24, 2021 amendment to close upon the ABTI Pharma Limited Shares being transferred to the Company, which was to occur upon the filing by the Company of its outstanding September 30, 2020 quarterly report on Form 10-Q, which was filed on May 28, 2021 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The transaction closed on May 28, 2021.
The transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization. ABTI Pharma is the acquirer for accounting purposes and the Company is the issuer. The historical financial statements presented are the financial statements of ABTI. The Agreement was treated as a recapitalization and not as a business combination; at the date of the acquisition, the net liabilities of the legal acquirer, Alterola, were $389,721.
The business plan of the Company is no longer focused on a chewing gum delivery system but was re-focused on the development of cannabinoid, cannabinoid-like, and non-cannabinoid pharmaceutical active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), pharmaceutical medicines made from cannabinoid, cannabinoid-like, and non-cannabinoid APIs and European novel food approval of cannabinoid-based, cannabinoid-like and non-cannabinoid ingredients and products. In addition, the company plans to develop such bulk ingredients for supply into the cosmetic sector.
On December 2, 2021, the Company closed an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with C2 Wellness Corp., a Wyoming corporation, and Dr. G. Sridhar Prasad (together, the "Seller") and acquired certain IP assets (the "Assets") from Seller, which include:
· |
Novel cannabinoid molecules and their associated intellectual property; |
|
· |
Novel cannabinoid pro-drugs, and their associated intellectual property; |
|
· |
Novel proprietary cannabinoid formulations, designed to target lymphatic delivery, and their associated intellectual property; |
|
· |
Novel proprietary nano-encapsulated cannabinoid formulations, in self-dissolving polymers, and their associated intellectual property; and |
|
· |
Cannabinoids and cannabinoid pro-drug formulations for topical ocular delivery, and their associated intellectual property. |
In exchange for the Assets, the Company issued to Seller shares of common stock. On September 8, 2023, the Company and Seller entered into an Agreement to sell the assets, such that the Company sold the assets back to the Seller and the Seller paid 29,015,993 shares of ABTI common stock to the Company. The assets were sold to the Seller in September 2023.
As of April 18, 2023, the Company acquired intellectual property from Alinova Biosciences Ltd. The Company acquired Alinova's joint interest in the patent family of PTX 0001. The Company paid 35,000 Sterling in cash and 5,000,000 shares of ABTI Stock.
On April 16, 2024, the Company formed a new subsidiary Phytanix Bio, with 1,000 Common shares and 17,000 Preferred Shares originally being authorized as founding shares. On May 16, 2024, Phytanix Bio amended its articles of incorporation to change the amount of authorized shares capital of Phytanix Bio to 10,000,000 common shares and 100,000 preferred shares. Additionally, the Company authorized the acquisition of 100% of the share capital of ABTI Pharma Ltd and subsidiaries by Phytanix Bio for the consideration of 5,000,000 Phytanix Bio shares. Phytanix Bio was formed to become the parent of ABTI Pharma Limited and its subsidiaries. Phytanix Bio was formed to execute a merger transaction with NASDAQ-listed company Chain Bridge I (NASDAQ: CBRG), which as of the date of this filing has not yet closed.
LIQUIDITY & GOING CONCERN
On September 30, 2024, the Company has negative working capital of $2,468,290 has incurred losses since inception of $13,673,734, and has not received revenues from sales of products or services. These factors create substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
The ability of Alterola to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company generating cash from the sale of its common stock and/or obtaining debt financing and attaining future profitable operations. Management's plans include selling its equity securities and obtaining debt financing to fund its capital requirement and ongoing operations; however, there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in these efforts.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2024
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC") instructions to Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the interim period ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the full year. These consolidated financial statements and the notes attached hereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's 10-K for its fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company, as of September 30, 2024, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three months then ended have been included.
The Company had a September 30 fiscal year end. Subsequent to the Agreement with ABTI Pharma, the Company has changed its year end from September 30 to March 31.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Equivalents
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers highly liquid financial instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Alterola's consolidated financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable, and loans payable - related party. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value ("FV") due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these consolidated financial statements.
FV is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The FV should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the FV of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk including our own credit risk.
In addition to defining FV, the disclosure requirements around FV establish a FV hierarchy for valuation inputs which is expanded. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring FV are observable in the market. Each FV measurement is reported in one of the three levels which is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the FV measurement in its entirety. These levels are:
Level 1 - inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
Level 2 - inputs are based upon significant observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 - inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management's estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The FV are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.
The carrying value of the Company's financial assets and liabilities which consist of cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and notes payable are valued using level 1 inputs. The Company believes that the recorded values approximate their FV due to the short maturity of such instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, exchange or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
Foreign Currency Translation
The consolidated financial statements are presented in US Dollars. Transactions with foreign subsidiaries where US dollars are not the functional currency will be recorded in accordance with Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 830 Foreign Currency Transaction. According to Topic 830, all assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholders' equity (deficit) is translated at historical rates and statement of operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income (loss) in accordance with ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income. Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2024
Revenue Recognition
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under ASC 605. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, the financial statements were not materially impacted as a result of the application of Topic 606 compared to Topic 605.
Loss Per Common Share
Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each reporting period. Diluted loss per share includes potentially dilutive securities such as outstanding options and warrants, using various methods such as the treasury stock or modified treasury stock method in the determination of dilutive shares outstanding during each reporting period. The Company does not have any potentially dilutive instruments.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for at FV in accordance with ASC Topic 718. To date, the Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options.
Research and development
We engage in a variety of research and development activities to develop our technologies and work toward development of a saleable product. When it is determined that the research and development products we are creating have reached a point where saleable products are possible, these amounts are capitalized. As of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 there are no capitalized research and development costs.
The research and development costs incurred by the company relate to the following:
· |
Licenses for patent and know-how (Nano 4 M) - this relates to the company's formulation of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) for its lead pharmaceutical programs. |
|
· |
Protein Technologies Ltd - this relates to the company's research into production of cannabinoids by biosynthesis (as opposed to botanical production by growing plants). The company has genetically modified an organism to produce cannabinoids by fermentation (similar to methodology used for the production of antibiotics) |
|
· |
Apex Molecular Ltd.- the company has a number of pharmaceutical development programs using both novel and natural molecules. The Company employs third party chemistry / contract, manufacturing companies such as Apex Molecular Ltd. to synthesize and purify these compounds for their pharmaceutical development programs. |
|
· |
Acquisition of intellectual property from Alinova Biosciences Ltd. |
|
· |
Continued patent prosecution and internationalization of company intellectual property. |
|
· |
Staff costs and consultancy costs relating to R & D. |
Noncontrolling interests
The Company follows ASC Topic 810, "Consolidation," governing the accounting for and reporting of noncontrolling interests ("NCI") in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and the loss of\d control of subsidiaries. Certain provisions of this standard indicate, among other things, that NCI be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability, that increases and decreases in the parent's ownership interest that leave control intact be treated as equity transactions rather than as step acquisitions or dilution gains or losses, and that losses of a partially-owned consolidated subsidiary be allocated to noncontrolling interests even when such allocation might result in a deficit balance. The net loss attributed to NCI was separately designated in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Losses attributable to NCI in a subsidiary may exceed a NCI's interests in the subsidiary's equity. The excess attributable to NCI is attributed to those interests. NCI shall continue to be attributed their share of losses even if that attribution results in a deficit NCI balance.
Other Intangible Assets
The Company have recorded the assets acquired as part of the C2 Wellness acquisition as indefinite lived Intangible assets. Indefinite life intangible assets recorded are not amortized and, as a result, are assessed for impairment at least annually, using either a qualitative or quantitative process. The C2 Wellness assets that were acquired were subsequently re-sold as discussed above. The Company performed this annual assessment as of March 31, 2024, noting impairment factors indicating possible impairment of intangible assets recognized and recorded impairment of $392,278.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Alterola does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

NOTE 3 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS
As part of the C2 Wellness acquisition, the company recognized $12,000,000 in intangibles as discussed in Note 1.

During the year ended March 31, 2024, it was determined that these costs should have been expensed as research and development costs and not capitalized as part of the initial balance recorded. This correction was made and is reflected in the restatement footnote (Note 2) contained in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024.
On August 14, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to obtained 3 issued patents, one pending patent and all associated intellectual property related to a biotechnological interest for $60,000.

Overview
Our goal is to provide better medicines for patients around the world. We believe in harnessing the therapeutic potential of cannabinoids and cannabinoid- like compounds, which can be developed into valuable treatments for seriously ill patients. Rather than just focusing on one method of identifying, researching and developing such medicines, we are interested in developing new medicines from all sources including botanical, traditional chemical synthesis and biosynthetic methodologies.
On May 28, 2021, we acquired ABTI Pharma Limited, a company registered in England and Wales ("ABTI Pharma"), with the purchase of all of its capital stock in exchange for 600,000,000 shares of our common stock pro rata to the ABTI Pharma shareholders.
As a result of the acquisition, we are a pharmaceutical company working with cannabinoid and cannabinoid-like molecules. We have three areas of focus:
1) Development of regulated pharmaceuticals (human and animal health) and regulated food products. This has been achieved via the strategic acquisition of Phytotherapeutix Ltd.;
2) Production of low cost of goods Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) and food-grade ingredients (supported by the strategic acquisition of Ferven Ltd); and
3) Formulation, and drug delivery, providing improved bioavailability, solubility and stability (supported by the exclusive licensing of IP and technology from Nano4M Ltd).
Phytotherapeutix Ltd, a subsidiary of ABTI Pharma Ltd, has generated a number of molecules with patents pending, some of which have demonstrable pharmacological activity, similar to that of CBD. This means that some of these molecules are anticipated to have a similar market potential to CBD across a range of therapeutic areas.
Ferven Ltd, another subsidiary of ABTI Pharma Ltd, is looking to produce cannabinoids by fermentation. The exclusively licensed organism has the potential to be genetically modified to produce multiple cannabinoids at an anticipated very low cost of goods. It is anticipated that the selected genetically modified organisms will grow very quickly, which in turn, reduces the cost of production.
Nano4M Ltd is a company which has exclusively licensed its nano-formulation patents and know-how to ABTI Pharma Ltd.
As of April 18, 2023, we acquired intellectual property from Alinova Biosciences Ltd. We acquired Alinova's joint interest in the patent family of PTX 0001. We paid 35,000 Sterling in cash and 5,000,000 shares of ABTI Stock.
In November 2021, we acquired assets and IP from C2 Wellness Corporation. The consideration paid was 24,000,000 ABTI shares. On September 08, 2023, we agreed to sell the same assets and IP to C2 Wellness Corporation for a total of 29,015,993 of our shares
On April 16, 2024, the Company formed a new subsidiary Phytanix Bio, with 1,000 Common shares and 17,000 Preferred Shares originally being authorized as founding shares. On May 16, 2024, Phytanix Bio amended its articles of incorporation to change the amount of authorized shares capital of Phytanix Bio to 10,000,000 common shares and 100,000 preferred shares. Additionally, the Company authorized the acquisition of 100% of the share capital of ABTI Pharma Ltd and subsidiaries by Phytanix Bio for the consideration of 5,000,000 Phytanix Bio shares. Phytanix Bio was formed to become the parent of ABTI Pharma Limited and its subsidiaries. Phytanix Bio was formed to execute a merger transaction with NASDAQ-listed company Chain Bridge I (NASDAQ: CBRG), which as of the date of this filing has not yet closed.
Additionally, we may consider entering into Joint Venture Partnerships, or acquire companies (or be acquired) with complimentary portfolios or enter into Licensing Agreements to enhance the product portfolio. These are strategies the Company may implement and any such opportunities will be assessed on a case-by-case basis and on their merit at the time.
Alterola and ABTI Pharma Ltd management have extensive experience, know-how and connections in the cannabinoid medicines sector, and are looking to utilize this knowledge and experience for the development of such medicines from existing cannabinoids and cannabinoid-like molecules.
Our address is 47 Hamilton Square Birkenhead Merseyside CH41 5AR United Kingdom. Our telephone number is +44 151 601 9477. Our website is www.alterolabio.com. The company has a fully operational US$ and a £ sterling bank account in the United Kingdom with the HSBC Group.

Results of Operations for the Three and Six Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023
We have generated no revenues since inception and we do not anticipate earning revenue until such time that we are able to market and sell our ingredients and / or products / medicines.
We incurred operating expenses of $477,231 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared with $123,157 for the same period ended 2023. Our operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were mainly the result of $234,342 in consulting fees, $91,548 in accounting and audit fees, legal fees of $96,060, and general and administrative expenses of $24,023. By contrast, our operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were mainly the result of $15,937 in consulting fees, $25,000 in directors fees, $23,162 in accounting and audit fees and $33,519 in salaries and wages. Additionally, we incurred operating expenses of $1,160,053 for the six months ended September 30, 2024, as compared with $716,724 for the same period ended 2023. The increases are primarily a result of increased accounting and audit fees, research & development, consulting fees and an increase in general and administrative increase due to a proposed transaction previously announced between Chain Bridge and the Company.
If we are able to obtain financing, we expect that our operational expenses will increase significantly for the balance of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 and beyond. This would be the result of increased research and development expenses associated with our product candidates, the development of those candidates in compliance with regulatory processes, laws and regulations, increased payroll as we take on more help, as well as the expenses associated with our reporting obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
We had other expnses of $321,962 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as a result of a gain on conversion, compared with zero in other income for the same period ended September 30, 2023.
We recorded a net loss of $799,193 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared with $123,157 for the same period ended 2023.
As a relatively recently formed pharmaceutical company, the company has limited operations to date, and expects to have reoccurring losses, as is typical with companies in the pharmaceutical industry, for the foreseeable future. As explained above, the company intends to raise capital and ramp up its efforts to bring its product candidates to market. This will require significant capital, product development to continue and complete and momentum on those product candidates through the regulatory process. There are no assurances that we will be able to generate revenues and achieve profitable operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2024, we had $1,147,024 in current assets, consisting mostly of cash in bank of $82,720, loans receivable of $1,063,235 and inventories, and current liabilities of $3,615,314. We had a working capital deficit of $2,468,290 as of September 30, 2024, compared with a working capital deficit of $1,329,601 as of March 31, 2024.
We had cash used in operating activities of $1,067,729 for the six months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $197,625 for the same period ended 2023. Our negative operating cash flow the six months ended September 30, 2024 was mainly the result our net loss of $1,453,940, adjustment for the add back of non-cash expenses related to stock issued for services aggregating $306,635, and changes in operating assets and liabilities such as a decrease in accounts payable of $19,902 and increase in accrued liabilities of $99,538. Our negative operating cash flow during the six months ended September 30, 2023 was mainly the result of a net loss offset by shares issued for services and net changes in operating assets and liabilities.
There was cash used in investing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2024 of $60,000 as compared to cash provided by investing activities of $35,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2023. The cash used in investing for 2024 was for patents and associated intellectual property and the cash provided by investing for 2023 was related to the acquisition of patent production rights.
Financing activities provided $1,322,869 for the six months ended September 30, 2024, as a result of related party notes and advances of $49,014 and net proceeds from notes payable of $2,493,935, offset by cash used in financing activities of $157,045 related to the payment of deferred offering costs and an issuance of a loan receivable of $1,063,235. Financing activities provided $75,530 for the six months ended September 30, 2023, as a result of related party notes offset by the receipt of treasury shares and purchase of common shares for cash.
Based upon our current financial condition, we do not have sufficient cash to operate our business at the current level for the next 12 months. We intend to fund operations through short-term or long-term debt and/or equity financing arrangements, however this may be insufficient to fund expenditures or other cash requirements. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional funding. If we are not able to secure additional funding, the implementation of our business plan will be impaired. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2024, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Going Concern
Our financial statements were prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have negative working capital of $2,468,290 as of September 30, 2024, and have incurred losses since inception of $13,673,734. We expect to incur further losses in the development of our business and have been dependent on funding operations from inception. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans include continuing to finance operations through the private or public placement of debt and/or equity securities and the reduction of expenditures. However, no assurance can be given at this time as to whether we will be able to achieve these objectives. The financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of September 30, 2024. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the presence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has identified the following material weaknesses which have caused management to conclude that, as of September 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines.
Remediation Plan to Address the Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our company plans to take steps to enhance and improve the design of internal controls over financial reporting. During the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending March 31, 2025: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating such agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Business Combination Agreement are also modified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to stockholders and were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts.
