Basis of Presentation

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of VolitionRx Limited (the “Company”, "VolitionRx," "we" or "us"“VolitionRx”) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and September 30, 2020,2021, respectively, are not audited. Ourunaudited. These interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the requirements for unaudited interim periods and, consequently, do not include all disclosures required to be made in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). In the opinion of ourthe Company’s management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of ourthe Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2021,2022, and ourits results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 20212022 and September 30, 2020,2021, respectively. The results of operations for the periods ended September 30, 20212022 and September 30, 2020,2021, respectively, are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full-year period. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in ourthe Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020,2021, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 22, 2021.30, 2022 (the “Annual Report”).

 

Use of Estimates

 

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, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company also regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to deferred income tax asset valuation allowances, useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, borrowing rate used in operating lease right-of-use asset and liability valuations, impairment analysis of intangible assets, and valuations of stock-based compensation.

 

The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. TheIn addition, the Company has considered the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as certain economic factors, including inflation, rising interest rates, and recessionary pressures, on its business and operations. Although the full impact of these factors is unknown and cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company believes it has made appropriate accounting estimates and assumptions based on the facts and circumstances available as of the reporting date. However, the Company’s actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from these estimates and assumptions, which may result in material effects on the Company’s estimates.financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operationsthe Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements could be materially affected.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 20212022 include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company has two wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiaries, Singapore Volition Pte. Limited (“Singapore Volition”) and Volition Global Services SRL (“Volition Global”). Singapore Volition has one wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiary, Belgian Volition SRL (“Belgian Volition”).  Belgian Volition has four subsidiaries, Volition Diagnostics UK Limited (“Volition Diagnostics”), Volition America, Inc.

All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For the purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers interest bearing deposits with original maturity dates of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company invests excess cash from its operating cash accounts in overnight investments and reflects these amounts in cash and cash equivalents in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. As of September 30, 2021,2022, cash and cash equivalents totaled approximately $22.9$16.4 million, of which $10.2 million was held in an overnight money market account.

Accounts Receivables

 

Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. Due to the nature of the accounts receivable balance, the Company believes the risk of doubtful accounts is minimal and therefore no allowance is recorded. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required.  The Company may provide for estimated uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance. Balances that remain outstanding after the Company has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. As of September 30, 2021,2022, the accounts receivable balance was $19,566$5,492 and the allowance for doubtful debts was nil.$nil.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” effective January 1, 2019. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenues when the customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenues following the five stepfive-step model prescribed under ASC 606: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation(s).

 

The Company generates product revenues from the sale of its Nu.Q® Vet Cancer Screening Test, from the sale of nucleosomes, and from the sale of Research Use Only kits pursuant to its license agreement with Active Motif, Inc. (“Active Motif”) from which the Company receives royalties.research use only kits. In addition, revenue is received from external third parties for Nu.Q®  Discover services the Company performs for them in its laboratory.

 

Revenues, and their respective treatment for financial reporting purposes under ASC 606, are as follows:

 

Royalty

 

The Company receives royalty revenues on the net sales recognized during the period in which the revenue is earned, and the amount is determinable from the licensee. These are presented in “Royalty” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.  The Company does not have future performance obligations under this revenue stream. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company records these revenues based on estimates of the net sales that occurred during the relevant period from the licensee. The relevant period estimates of these royalties are based on preliminary gross sales data provided by Active Motifcustomers and analysis of historical gross-to-net adjustments. Differences between actual and estimated royalty revenues are adjusted for in the period in which they become known.

 

Product

 

The Company includes revenue from product sales recognized during the period in which goods are shipped to third parties, and the amount is deemed collectable from the third parties. These are presented in “Product” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Services

 

The Company includes revenue recognized from laboratory services performed in the Company’s laboratory on behalf of third parties in “Services” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

For each development and /or commercialization agreement that results in revenue, the Company identifies all performance obligations, aside from those that are immaterial, which may include a license to intellectual property and know-how, development activities and/or transition activities. In order to determine the transaction price, in addition to any upfront payment, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration at the outset of the contract either utilizing the expected value or most likely amount method, depending on the facts and circumstances relative to the contract. The Company constrains (reduces) the estimates of variable consideration such that it is probable that a significant reversal of previously recognized revenue will not occur throughout the life of the contract. When determining if variable consideration should be constrained, management considers whether there are factors outside the Company’s control that could result in a significant reversal of revenue. In making these assessments, the Company considers the likelihood and magnitude of a potential reversal of revenue. These estimates are reassessed each reporting period as required.

Licensing

The Company includes revenue recognized from the licensing of certain rights to third parties in “Licensing” in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. For each development and/or commercialization agreement that results in revenues, the Company identifies all performance obligations, aside from those that are immaterial, which may include a license to intellectual property and know-how, development activities and/or transition activities. In order to determine the transaction price, in addition to any upfront payment, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration at the outset of the contract either utilizing the expected value or most likely amount method, depending on the facts and circumstances relative to the contract. The Company constrains (reduces) the estimates of variable consideration such that it is probable that a significant reversal of previously recognized revenue will not occur throughout the life of the contract. When determining if variable consideration should be constrained, management considers whether there are factors outside the Company’s control that could result in a significant reversal of revenue. In making these assessments, the Company considers the likelihood and magnitude of a potential reversal of revenue. These estimates are re-assessedreassessed each reporting period as required.

Deferred Revenue (Contract Liabilities) and Contract Assets

Deferred revenue consists of amounts for which the Company has an unconditional right to bill, and/or amounts for which payment has been received (including non-refundable amounts), but have not been recognized as revenue because the related performance obligations are deemed incomplete. As of September 30, 2022, the Company recorded $10.0 million as deferred revenue in respect of a non-refundable payment received in relation to a licensing and product supply agreement with Heska Corporation.

Contract assets include costs and services incurred on contracts with open performance obligations. These contract assets were immaterial as of September 30, 2022.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

 

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share,” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. As of September 30, 2021, 6,143,5992022, 6,302,138 potential common shares equivalents from warrants, options, and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) were excluded from the diluted EPS calculations as their effect is anti-dilutive.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company has functional currencies in Euros, US Dollars and British Pounds Sterling and its reporting currency is the US Dollar. Management has adopted ASC 830-20, “Foreign Currency Matters - Foreign Currency Transactions.” All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. For revenues and expenses, the weighted average exchange rate for the period is used. Gains and losses arising on translation of foreign currency denominated transactions are included in other comprehensive income (loss).

Research and Development

In accordance with ASC 730, “Research and Development,” the Company follows the policy of expensing its research and development costs in the period in which they are incurred. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $10.6 million and $9.7 million during the nine-months ended September 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation.” Under the provisions of ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized over the employee’s requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The fair value of our stock options and warrants is estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. RSUs are valued based on the closing stock price on the date of grant. Refer to Note 7, Stock-Based Compensation, for further details.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain amounts presented in previously issued financial statements have been reclassified to be consistent with the current period presentation. The Company has reclassified the prior period comparative amounts for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ financial statements in the statement of stockholders’ equityrelation to Research and cash flowsDevelopment expenses, General and Administrative expenses and Sales and Marketing expenses to be consistent withconform to the current year classification.presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. The Company does not believe there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

COVID-19 Pandemic Impact

 

As of the date of this filing, there continue to be widespread concerns regarding the ongoing impacts and disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in the regions in which the Company operates. As a result of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has experienced and may continue to experience disruptions that could impact ourto its clinical trials, including delays enrolling patientspatient enrollment and in sample collection.collection delays.

 

TheAlthough the Company has taken steps to mitigate the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact the Company’sits business, financial condition, and results of operations in the future periods is highly uncertain and will be affected by a number of factors.factors outside of the Company’s control. These include the duration and extent of the COVID-19 pandemic, the development of new variants of the COVID-19 virus that may be more contagious or virulent than previous versions, the scope of mandated or recommended containment and mitigation measures, the effect of government stabilization and recovery efforts, and the success of vaccine distribution programs.

 

Note 2 - Going Concern

 

The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using U.S. GAAP applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company has incurred losses since inception of $129.0$160.0 million, has had negative cash flows from operations on an annual basis, and has minimal revenues, which creates substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least one year from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The future of the Company as an operating business will depend on its ability to obtain sufficient capital contributions, financing and/or to generate revenues as may be required to sustain its operations. Management plans to address the above as needed by (a) securing additional grant funds, (b) obtaining additional financing through debt or equity transactions, (c) granting licenses to third parties in exchange for specified up-front and/or back-endmilestone payments, and (d) developing and commercializing its products on an accelerated timeline. Management continues to exercise tight cost controls to conserve cash.

 

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 attain profitable operations. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

At closing, the Company issued 73,263 restricted shares of Company common stock, paid an adjusted amount of approximately $357,000 (€321,736) and recorded a holdback liability of $55,404 (€50,000).

Company Overview

 

VolitionRxVolition is a multi-national epigenetics company that applies its NucleosomicsTMNucleosomics™ platform through its subsidiaries to develop simple, easy to use, cost-effective blood tests to help diagnose and monitor a range of life-altering diseases, including somecertain cancers and diseases associated with NETosis, such as sepsis and COVID-19.We hope that through earlierCOVID-19. Our mission is to save lives and improve outcomes for millions of people and animals worldwide. Early diagnosis and monitoring we can help save andhave the potential to not only prolong the life of patients, but also to improve thetheir quality of human and animals’ lives throughout the world.life.

 

Our assaysblood tests are based on the science of NucleosomicsTMNucleosomics™, which is the practice of identifying and measuring nucleosomes in the bloodstream or other bodily fluid,fluids, since changes in these parameters are an indication that disease is present. While we are primarily focused on human diagnostics and monitoring, we also have a subsidiary focused on animal diagnostics and monitoring.

 

Volition’s approach isWe have five key pillars of focus, all of which use the same proprietary Nu.Q® platform to investigate the epigenetic structure of chromatin and nucleosomes rather than investigating only the DNA sequence. We are continuously developing new technologies as well as the facilities to deliver them, including:commercialize in different areas.

 

 

·

A suite of low cost Nu.Q® immunoassays that can accurately measure nucleosomes containing numerous epigenetic signals or structures, now being developed on a range of different platforms including enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, or ELISA, chemiluminescent immunoassay, or CLIA,Vet - cost-effective, easy-to-use cancer screening blood test for dogs and lateral flow, platforms.

·

The production of synthetic (recombinant) nucleosomes, containing exact defined epigenetic signals and structures, which is now in-house. These nucleosomes are used to ensure maximal accuracy of Nu.Q® immunoassay tests but also have many other applications including Research Use Only (Nu.Q® Discover), or RUO, kits and as tools in epigenetic drug development, mass spectrometry and DNA sequencing.

·

The use of the Nu.Q® technology in veterinary applicationsCapture - capturing and the launch of our first product, the Nu.Q® Vet Cancer Screening Test, in the fourth quarter of 2020. We are in the process of developing additional veterinary products, including a treatment monitoring test, a disease recurrence test and a point-of-care platform. Our extensive intellectual property portfolio includes the coverage of veterinary applications.

·

The expansion of our research and development capabilities into the U.S. through the opening ofNu.Q® Discover - a Research and Development laboratory in San Diego, California.complete solution to profiling nucleosomes

Our research and development activities are centered in Belgium, with an innovation laboratory in California, and additional offices in Nevada, London, and Singapore, where we focus on bringing our diagnostic and disease monitoring products to market.

 

Commercialization Strategy

 

Volition believes thatWe believe, given the global prevalence of cancer and diseases associated with NETosis, and the low-cost, accessible and routine nature of our tests, Nu.Q®could potentially be used throughout the world.

We planhave developed and are continuing to workdevelop a large portfolio of intellectual property, or IP, centered around the science of identifying and measuring nucleosomes in the bloodstream. We call this science Nucleosomics™. Our technologies have a large range of applications, both in humans and animals, to screen, diagnose, and risk stratify patients, as well as to monitor treatments, disease progression and potential remissions. While we initially focused our technology on cancer screening, we have since broadened the range of indications our blood tests can detect to include several diseases associated with partnersNETosis, including sepsis, COVID-19 and thrombosis.

We aim to commercializeremain an IP powerhouse in the Nucleosomics™ space and expect to monetize our IP and technologies through licensing and distribution contracts with companies that have established distribution networks on a worldwide or regional basis, in both human and animal care.

To this end, on March 28, 2022, Volition entered into a master license and product supply agreement with Heska Corporation, or Heska, a leading global provider of advanced veterinary diagnostics. In exchange for granting Heska exclusive worldwide rights to sell our Nu.Q® Vet Cancer Test at the point of care for companion animals, Volition received a $10.0 million upfront payment upon signing and is eligible to receive up to an additional $18.0 million based upon the achievement of certain near and mid-term milestones. In addition, Volition has granted Heska non-exclusive rights to sell the Nu.Q®worldwide.

Commercialization will take multiple forms Vet Cancer Test in various markets and opportunities including, but not limited to:kit format for companion animals through Heska’s network of central reference laboratories.

Developments - COVID-19 Pandemic

On March 11, 2020,Following the World Health Organization designated the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus known as COVID-19 as a global pandemic. Governments and businesses around the world have taken unprecedented actions to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, including, but not limited to, shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, significant restrictions on travel, as well as restrictions that prohibit many employees from going to work. Uncertainty with respect to the economic effects of the pandemic has introduced significant volatility in the financial markets.

Throughout 2020 and the first nine months of 2021, we have implemented contingency planning to protect the health and well-beingroll-out of our employees, withNu.Q® Vet canine cancer screening test and Nu.Q® Discover, the majoritynext series of our employees working remotely where possible. We have implemented travel restrictionsproducts we anticipate launching are as well as protocols limiting visitor access to our facilities, and we are following social distancing practices.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have experienced and may continue to experience disruptions that could impact our clinical trials, including:follows:

 

 

·

delays in enrolling patients in clinical trials;

a canine cancer monitoring test;

·

delays in sample collection; and

 

·

diversion of healthcare resources away from the conduct of clinical trials, including the diversion of hospitals serving as clinical trial sitesNETosis related screening and hospital staff supporting the conduct of our clinical trials.monitoring tests for use in sepsis and COVID-19; and

·

cancer tests for humans in non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, colorectal cancer and lung cancer.

 

Our Nucleosomics™ technology is transferable to multiple platforms including ELISA 96-well plates and, bead-based chemiluminescent. We are currently working on transferring our technology to the widely-utilized homogeneous immunoassay platforms and several point of care platforms to enable rapid turnaround of results both in-clinic and at the doctor’s office.

Additionally, we are working on complete nucleosome analysis with our Nu.Q® Capture technology. The extentgoal of this project is to whichinvestigate ways to specifically target circulating tumor DNA, or ctDNA. The ability to enrich ctDNA will allow us to use mass spectrometry to analyze histone and DNA modifications, and to sequence DNA present around nucleosomes. This information could enable cancer diagnosis to identify the tissue of origin of a particular cancer.

Developments - COVID-19 Pandemic

Due to the continued evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic since March 2020, we cannot precisely determine or quantify the impacts the pandemic will have on our business, financial conditions or results of operations. For example, although we have worked with clinical trial sites impacted by the pandemic to ensure study continuity, we have experienced and may in the future experience disruptions that could impact our clinical trials, including delays in enrolling patients in clinical trials or in sample collection, and diversion of healthcare resources from the conduct of our clinical trials.

The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business remains uncertain and subject to change. If there is a subsequent outbreak of COVID-19 in the future, we may experience significant delays in our clinical development timelines, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations in the future is highly uncertain and will be affected by a number of factors. These include the duration and extent of the COVID-19 pandemic, the development of new variants of the COVID-19 virus that may be more contagious or virulent than previous versions, the scope of mandated or recommended containment and mitigation measures, the effect of government stabilization and recovery efforts, and the success of vaccine distribution programs.operations.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have financed our operations since inception primarily through private placements and public offerings of our common stock. As of September 30, 2021,2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $22.9$16.4 million.

We do not currently have any substantial source ofsufficient revenues to cover our annual expenses and expect to rely on additionalfinancing our operations in future financing,periods, primarily through the sale of equity or debt securities, or the sale ofand licensing rights, to provide sufficient funding to execute our strategic plan. There isHowever, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising further funds.additional funds, or that we will be able to do so on terms that are satisfactory to us.

 

In the event that additional financing is delayed, we will prioritize the maintenance of our research and development personnel and facilities, primarily in Belgium, and the maintenance of our patent rights. In such instance, the completion of clinical validation studies and regulatory approval processes for the purpose of bringing products to the IVD and veterinaryin vitro diagnostics markets would be delayed. In the event of an ongoing lack of financing, it may be necessary to discontinue operations, which will adversely affect the value of our common stock.

 

We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive activities. For these reasons, our auditors statedincluded in their report on our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 20202021 an explanatory paragraph regarding factors that raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.

Net Loss

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, the Company’s net loss was $18.9approximately $23.3 million in comparison to a net loss of $15.2$18.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.2021. The change was a result of the factors described above.

 

Going Concern

 

We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining external financing to continue to pursue our operational and strategic plans. For these reasons, management has determined that there is substantial doubt that the business will be able to continue as a going concern without further financing.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

 

Future Financings

 

We may seek to obtain additional capital through the sale of debt or equity securities, if we deem it desirable or necessary. These sales may include the sale of equity securities from time to time through our “at the market offering program” with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and Oppenheimer & Co. Inc.Jefferies LLC under the Equity Distribution Agreement dated September 24, 2021May 20, 2022 (see Note 6,Common Stock, of the notes to the condensedinterim consolidated financial statements). However, we may be unable to obtain such additional capital when needed, or on terms favorable to us or our stockholders, if at all. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be reduced, stockholders may experience additional dilution, or such equity securities may provide for rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of debt securities, the terms of such securities may place restrictions on our ability to operate our business.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related condensed notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, applied on a consistent basis. 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, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

 

We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements.  A summary of these policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on current facts, historical experiences, information from third party professionals and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially and adversely from those estimates made by management. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations could be affected.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has implemented all applicable new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. The Company does not believe that there are any other applicable new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive and Principal Financial Officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded, as they previously concluded as of December 31, 2020,2021, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2021,2022, because of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, as referenced below and described in detail in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2020.Report.

 

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 our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

In our Annual Report, for the year ended December 31, 2020, the deficiencies identified involved the segregation of duties in some areas of finance, the oversight in information technologies, where certain processes may affect the internal controls over financial reporting, and the monitoring of review controls with respect to accounting for complex transactions.finance.

 

During the first nine months of 2021, our management, with oversight from our audit committee, has implemented the following remediationWe have already taken steps to help address and mitigate some of the underlyingtowards remediating such deficiencies which gave rise to the previously disclosed material weaknesses and to improve our internal control over financial reporting:

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Except for the ongoing remediation of the material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting noted above, no changes in our internal control over financial reporting were made during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021,2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations of the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls

 

Our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.

 

The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving our stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
