Segment Reporting

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Companyoperates as a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations.operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Under FASB ASC 820-10-05, the Financial Accounting Standards Board establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheets are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short term nature of the instruments.instruments.

Revenue Recognition

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts to perform pilot studies by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. For the comparative periods, revenue has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605606 — Revenue Recognition. Under ASC 605,606, revenue is recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the performance of service has been rendered to a customer or delivery has occurred; (3) the amount of fee to be paid by a customer is fixed and determinable; and (4) the collectability of the fee is reasonably assured.

There was no impact on the Company’s financial statements as a result of adopting ASC 606 for the ninethree months ended June 30,December 31, 2018, and 2017, or the twelve months ended September 30, 2017.2018.

Revenue is primarily generated through our subsidiary, Digipath Labs, Inc., which recognizes revenue from the analytical testing of cannabis products to licensed producers and cultivators within the state of Nevadaon a determinable fixed fee per test, or panel of tests basis.basis. Revenue from the performance of those services is recognized upon completion of the tests, at which time test results are delivered to the customer, provided collectability of the fee is reasonably assured.We We typically require payment within thirty days of the delivery of results. Management estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the aging of its receivables.

The Company also recognizes revenue through our subsidiary, TNM News Corp., which primarily recognizes revenue from advertisements through partnered merchants. Payment for ad revenues are received prior to the distribution of the ad campaign, and the revenues are recognized ratably over the campaign. The Company defers any revenue for which the term of the campaign has not yet been realized. To date, these revenues have not been materially significant.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 Stock Compensation (ASC 718) and Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees pursuant to ASC 505-50 (ASC 505-50). All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the counterparty’s performance is complete or the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached because of sufficiently large disincentives for nonperformance.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In JuneAugust 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07,2018-13,Compensation-Stock CompensationFair Measurement (Topic 718)820): ImprovementsDisclosure Framework – Changes to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accountingthe Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which expandsmodify the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. An entity should apply thedisclosure requirements of Topic 718 to nonemployee awards except for specific guidance on inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of cost (that is, the period of time over which share-based payment awards vest and the pattern of cost recognition over that period).820. The new guidance is effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017,2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

DIGIPATH, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(Unaudited)

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-05,Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118. The amendment provides guidance on accounting for the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) and allows entities to complete the accounting under ASC 740 within a one-year measurement period from the Tax Act enactment date. This standard is effective upon issuance. The Tax Act has several significant changes that impact all taxpayers, including a transition tax, which is a one-time tax charge on accumulated, undistributed foreign earnings. The calculation of accumulated foreign earnings requires an analysis of each foreign entity’s financial results going back to 1986. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02,Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The guidance permits entities to reclassify tax effects stranded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income as a result of tax reform to retained earnings. This new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted in annual and interim periods and can be applied retrospectively or in the period of adoption. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09,Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting, which clarifies when a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as a modification. The new guidance requires modification accounting if the fair value, vesting condition or the classification of the award is not the same immediately before and after a change to the terms and conditions of the award. The new guidance is effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Since ASU 2014-09 was issued, several additional ASUs have been issued to clarify various elements of the guidance. These standards provide guidance on recognizing revenue, including a five-step model to determine when revenue recognition is appropriate. The standard requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We adopted the new standard to be effective with our first interim reporting period for the three months ended December 31, 2017. We use the modified retrospective method of adoption. We have completed an initial evaluation of the potential impact from adopting the new standard, including a detailed review of performance obligations for all material revenue streams. Based on this initial evaluation, adoption does not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Related disclosures have been expanded in line with the requirements of the standard.

There are no other recently issued accounting pronouncements that the Company has yet to adopt that are expected to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Note 2 – Going Concern

As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations resulting in an accumulated deficit of ($12,876,159),$13,612,502, and as of June 30,December 31, 2018, the Company’s cash on hand may not be sufficient to sustain operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing new customers to increase revenues. In addition, the Company is currently seeking additional sources of capital to fund short term operations. Management believes these factors will contribute toward achieving profitability. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of any uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements also do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 4 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Under FASB ASC 820-10-5, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Under GAAP, certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and FASB ASC 820-10-50 details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.

The Company has certain financial instruments that must be measured under the new fair value standard. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:

Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Overview

Digipath, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada on October 5, 2010. Digipath, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Digipath,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”)is a service-oriented independent testing laboratory, data analytics and media firm focused on the developing cannabis and hemp markets, and supports the cannabis industry’s best practices for reliable testing, cannabis education and training, and brings unbiased cannabis news coverage to the cannabis industry.training. Our business units as of June 30,December 31, 2018 are described below.

		Digipath Labs, Inc. Digipath Labs’ mission is to provide pharmaceutical-grade analysis and testing to the cannabis industry to ensure consumers and patients know exactly what is in the cannabis they ingest and to help maximize the quality of our clients’ products through research, development, and standardization. We have been operating a cannabis testing lab in Nevada since 2015 and have plans to open labs in other states that have legalized the sale of cannabis, beginning with California.
		The National Marijuana News Corp. provides a balanced and unbiased approach to cannabis news, interviews and education with a news/talk radio show, app, national marijuana news website and social media presence focusing on the political, economic, medicinal, scientific, and cultural dimensions of the rapidly evolving—and profoundly controversial—medicinal and recreational marijuana industry.
		GroSciences, Inc. Launched during the first fiscal quarter of 2019 to capitalize on the extensive data we have collected from cannabis through the testing process. GroSciences plans to develop and license specific formulations to other producers and product makers in the industry.

Our cannabis testing and business licenses were briefly suspended by Nevada regulators for an eight business day period subsequent torevenues improved slightly over the endprevious fiscal quarter, but was substantially lower than our comparative fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2017. This decrease was primarily the result of the temporary suspension by regulators of two of our competitors in the prior year’s quarter, endedresulting in a significant increase in our sales during that quarter. Our revenues stabilized subsequent to December 31, 2017 commencing at the end of business on Friday, January 19, 2018, andwhen these competitors were reinstated on January 31, 2018. This significantly affected our financial results for the second and third fiscal quarter due to the lack of revenue for the eight day period, followed by the need to outsource our pesticide analyses to another lab while we re-validated our testing method. In response to the temporary suspension, we accelerated the implementation of ISO 17025:2017 standards and increased our staffing to better support an ISO-accredited laboratory and be able to service the level of demand we experienced duringreinstated. During the first fiscal quarter. At the end of Junequarter ending December 31, 2018, our pesticide methods were certified by the State of Nevada, which enabled us to end our outsourcing of pesticide testing.we received ISO 17025:2017 accreditation. We believe that we are now well positioned to handle future growth in full compliance with Nevada’s regulations applicable to our operations and get backare poised to operatingexpand to other jurisdictions.

We are currently seeking to expand our lab testing services to Colombia, and to that end have retained Colombian counsel and hired two local employees. Our goal is to launch a testing lab in Colombia by the end of the fiscal year, although there can be no assurance that we will be successful in that regard.

In January 2019, we entered into an agreement to provide potency testing laboratories for hemp production at sites owned by Hemp, Inc. in North Carolina, Oregon and Arizona.Under the terms of the agreement, we will oversee and manage the construction and build out of a gross margin consistent with other analyticalhemp potency-testing laboratory in three of Hemp Inc.’s locations and Hemp. Inc. will provide the space for the testing labslaboratories at no cost to us.

We are alsoexploring opportunities to capitalize on the extensive data we have collected from our cannabis testing activities. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, GroSciences, Inc., we intend to license specific formulations and intellectual property developed from our experience in the cannabis industry.

On July 3, 2018, following the untimely passing of Joseph Bianco, who had served as our Chief Executive Officer, our Board appointed Todd Denkin as Chief Executive Officer We have not yet commenced operations for this initiative, other than minimal research and Chairman of the Board, succeeding Mr. Bianco.

The increased net loss was due primarily to decreased revenues, as offset in part by decreased stock-based compensation and increased staffing and outsourced pesticide testing costsother income, over the comparative three month period, as we revamped operations to better position ourselves for anticipated increased demand in the recreational cannabis market and addressed the temporary suspension of our Nevada licenses.

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:

The following table summarizes selected items from the statement of operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

Revenues

Revenues were generated by our cannabis testing lab and to a de minimis extent, from advertising on TNM News’ media outlets. Aggregate revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 were $2,223,630, compared to revenues of $1,296,115 during the nine months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of $927,515, or 72%. The increase in revenue was due to the continued growth of our testing lab operations in Nevada as our customer base, consisting of production and cultivation facilities, increased their operations, particularly following the implementation of the Nevada law permitting the recreational use of marijuana, which went into effect on July 1, 2017. This was bolstered during the first fiscal quarter of the current period due to the suspensions that were served by Nevada regulators on two of our competitors, as offset in part by our own suspension during the second fiscal quarter of the current period. We believe that these regulatory disruptions are reflective of the early stages of our nascent industry and are not indicative of ordinary operating conditions in Nevada.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 were $1,563,518, compared to $640,871 during the nine months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of $922,647, or 144%. Cost of sales consists primarily of labor, depreciation, maintenance on lab equipment, and supplies consumed in our testing operations. The increased cost of sales in the current period was primarily due to the cost of outsourcing our pesticide analysis, and increased labor and supplies as we revamped our operations to comply with regulators’ requirements and gear up for increased demand. During the nine months ended June 30, 2018, we began to implement ISO/IEC 17025 standards for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories, and outsourced our pesticide testing to a third party while we repaired and upgraded instrumentation and developed State approved assays. At the end of June, our pesticide were methods certified by the State of Nevada and were able to resume our own pesticide testing, which is expected to significantly reduce our cost of sales in future periods. Our gross margins of approximately 30%, decreased during the nine months ended June 30, 2018, compared to gross margins of approximately 51% during the nine months ended June 30, 2017. We anticipate our gross margins to be in the neighborhood of 50% as we now perform our own pesticide tests.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 were $1,108,202, compared to $907,994 during the nine months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of $200,208, or 22%. The expenses consisted primarily of marketing, rent, salaries and wages, and travel expenses.

Professional Fees

Professional fees for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 were $964,269, compared to $745,437 during the nine months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of $218,832, or 29%. Professional fees included non-cash, stock-based compensation of $815,887 and $524,054 during the three months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, respectively, including the amortization of $438,683 and $299,760, respectively, of stock options expense that is now fully amortized. Professional fees increased primarily due to increased stock-based compensation paid to employees and consultants during the current period.

Bad Debts Expense

Bad debts expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 was $53,041, compared to $23,150 during the nine months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of $29,891, or 129%. Bad debts expense increased during the current period as our allowance for doubtful accounts increasedcomplied with the growth in sales and disruption of operations during the year. Our bad debts allowance was 2.4% and 1.8% of sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 and ISO 17025:2017 respectively.

Operating Loss

Our operating loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 was $1,465,400 compared to $1,021,337 during the nine months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of $444,063, or 43%. Our operating loss increased primarily due to increased cost of sales as we reworked our lab processes, in addition to increased stock-based compensation, offset in part by our increased revenues, during the nine months ended June 30, 2018, compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2017.

Other Income

Other income for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 was $85,912, compared to other income of $263,000 during the nine months ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of $177,088. Other income consisted of $57,600 of subleased rent and $28,312 related to restitution payments received from a former employee for the nine months ended June 30, 2018. Other income during the nine months ended June 30, 2017 consisted of $250,000 received pursuant to the settlement under a license agreement with GB Sciences, Inc., $3,000 of subleased rental income and $10,000 of restitution payments received from a former employee.

Net Loss

Net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 was $1,379,488, compared to $758,337 during the nine months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of $621,151, or 82%. The increased net loss was due primarily to increased staffing and outsourced pesticide testing costs over the comparative nine month period, as we revamped operations to better position ourselves for anticipated increased demand in the recreational cannabis market and addressed the temporary suspension of our Nevada licenses.regulation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following is a summary of the Company’s cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing, and financing activities for the ninethree month periods ended June 30,December 31, 2018 and 2017:

Net Cash Provided inby (Used in) Operating Activities

During the ninethree months ended June 30,December 31, 2018, net cash used in operating activities was $212,707,$366,237, compared to net cash used inprovided by operating activities of $184,533$182,156 for the same period ended June 30,December 31, 2017. The increase in cash used in operating activities is primarily attributable to our increased net lossas we continued to develop ourdidn’t benefit from the decreased competition from the suspension of two competing cannabis testing lab operations.labs in the current quarter, as we did in the prior period.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

During the ninethree months ended June 30,December 31, 2018, net cash used in investing activities was $194,008,$50,000, compared to $136,894$142,514 for the same period ended June 30,December 31, 2017. The increasedecrease is attributable to greater investments made for cannabis testing equipment in the currentprior period thanthat was not necessary in the comparativecurrent period, in addition to the payment of a short term loan during the current period.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

During the ninethree months ended June 30,December 31, 2018, net cash provided by financing activities was $268,608,$500,000, compared to $300,000$143,008 for the same period ended June 30,December 31, 2017. The current period consisted of proceeds received on fixed convertible debt financing at $0.14 per share, while the comparative period consisted of proceeds received from the sale of stock and warrants.

Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

As of June 30,December 31, 2018, our balance of cash on hand was $40,070.$259,790. We currently may not have sufficient funds to sustain our operations for the next twelve months and we may need to raise additional cash to fund our operations and expand our lab testing business.As we continue to develop our lab testing business and attempt to expand operational activities, we expect to experience net negative cash flows from operations in amounts not now determinable, and will be required to obtain additional financing to fund operations through common stock offerings to the extent necessary to provide working capital. We have and expect to continue to have substantial capital expenditure and working capital needs.

The Company has incurred recurring losses from operations resulting in an accumulated deficit, and, as set forth above, the Company’s cash on hand is not sufficient to sustain operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing new customers to increase revenues. In addition, the Company is currently seeking additional sources of capital to fund short term operations.In the event sales do not materialize at the expected rates, management would seek additional financing or would attempt to conserve cash by further reducing expenses. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in achieving these objectives, becoming profitable or continuing our business without either a temporary interruption or a permanent cessation.cessation. In addition, additional financing may result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no outstanding off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts. We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s subjective or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments.

While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in notes to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results and affect the more significant judgments and estimates that we used in the preparation of our financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

The Company has adoptedAccounting Standards Update No. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) on October 1, 2017.. This updateprovides guidance on recognizing revenue, including a five-step model to determine when revenue recognition is appropriate. The standard requires that an entity recognize revenue from contracts with customers to depict the transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new update does not affect how the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605,606, Revenue Recognition. ASC 605606 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery of product has met the criteria established in the arrangement or services rendered; (3) the fee is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. With respect to our cannabis lab testing revenues,we sell our services on a determinable fixed fee per test, or panel of tests basis, and offer a discounted price for customers that agree to exclusive or predetermined quantities of tests. WeWe typically require payment within thirty days of the delivery of results. Revenues are recognized upon the substantial completion of the tests when collectability is reasonably assured, which is usually upon delivery of results to the customer.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 Stock Compensation (ASC 718) and Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees pursuant to ASC 505-50 (ASC 505-50). All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the counterparty'scounterparty’s performance is complete or the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached because of sufficiently large disincentives for nonperformance.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30,December 31, 2018. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC'sSEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company'scompany’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30,December 31, 2018, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) or in other factors that occurred during the period of our evaluation or subsequent to the date we carried out our evaluation which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. The design of any system of controls and procedures is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There can be no assurance that any system of controls and procedures will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
