FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.

 

These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – Basis of Presentation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (the “Company”, “we”, “our”) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 20212022 as filed with the SEC under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). on May 17, 2022. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted, as permitted by the SEC, although we believe the disclosures which are made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position at OctoberJuly 31, 20212022, and the results of our operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

Interim results are subject to significant seasonal variations and the results of operations for the three and ninesix months ended October 31,2021July 31, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Reverse Stock Split

On November 24, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Change with the Secretary of the State of Nevada to affect a 1-for-500 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split was formally processed by FINRA effective on February 25, 2021, and the Company’s common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis on February 25, 2021.

Prior to the effective date of the Certificate of Change, the Company was authorized to issue 6,150,000,000 shares of common stock. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the Company is authorized to issue 12,300,000 shares of common stock. The Reverse Stock Split did not have any effect on the stated par value of the common stock.

Prior to the effective date of the Certificate of Change, the Company was authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the Company is authorized to issue 200,000 shares of Class A common stock. As of February 24, 2021 (immediately prior to the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split), there were 51,000,000 shares of Class A common stock outstanding. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, there are approximately adjustment due to the effect of rounding fractional shares into whole shares). The Reverse Stock Split did not have any effect on the stated par value of the Class A common stock.

All references to common shares and common share data in these condensed consolidated financial statements and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

NOTE 2 – Going concern

 

The Company has incurred losses from operations and requires additional funds for further exploratory activity and to maintain its claims prior to attaining a revenue generating status. There are no assurances that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our properties. In addition, the Company may not find sufficient ore reserves to be commercially mined. As such, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Management is working to secure additional funds through the exercise of stock warrants already outstanding, equity financings, debt financings or joint venture agreements. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

NOTE 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Fair Value

 

ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. It defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities that are not active; and model-driven valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. Valuations may be obtained from, or corroborated by, third-party pricing services.

7

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs to measure fair value of assets and liabilities for which there is little, if any market activity at the measurement date, using reasonable inputs and assumptions based upon the best information at the time, to the extent that inputs are available without undue cost and effort.

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable, convertible notes payable, and derivative liability. It is management’s opinion that we are not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. With the exception of the derivative liability, the fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values based on their short maturities or for long-term debt based on borrowing rates currently available to us for loans with similar terms and maturities. Gains and losses recognized on changes in estimated fair value of the derivative liability are reported in other income (expense) as gain (loss) on change in fair value of derivative liability.

 

8

Income Taxes

Income taxes are recorded using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled. The effect on future tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that enactment occurs. To the extent that the Company does not consider it more likely than not that a future tax asset will be recovered, it provides a valuation allowance against the excess. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits, if any, are classified as additional income taxes in the statement of operations. The current period net income will be offset against the prior periods net operating losses which were approximately $32 million as of January 31, 2022, resulting in no current period income tax expense or benefit. The Company continues to record a valuation allowance to fully offset the deferred tax asset.

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications may have been made to our prior year’s financial statements to conform to our current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on our previously reported results of operations or accumulated deficit.

All other terms of the warrants remain unchanged, including application offully considering the reverse split effective on February 25, 2021.2021, which applied equivalently to price and number of shares for all warrants.

 

NOTE 7 – Derivative Liabilities

 

The embedded conversion feature in the convertible debt instruments that the Company issued (See Note 8), that became convertible during the ninesix months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2021,2022, qualified it as a derivative instrument since the number of shares issuable under the note is indeterminate based on guidance in FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. These convertible notes tainted all other equity linked instruments including outstanding warrants and fixed rate convertible debt on the date that the instrument became convertible.

 

The valuation of the derivative liability of the warrants was determined through the use of a Monte Carlo options model that values the liability of the warrants based on a risk-neutral valuation where the price of the option is its discounted expected value. The technique applied generates a large number of possible (but random) price paths for the underlying common stock via simulation, and then calculates the associated exercise value (i.e. “payoff”) of the option for each path. These payoffs are then averaged and discounted to a current valuation date resulting in the fair value of the option.

10

 

The valuation of the derivative liability attached to the convertible debt was arrived at through the use of a Monte Carlo model that values the derivative liability within the notes. The technique applied generates a large number of possible (but random) price paths for the underlying (or underlyings) via simulation, and then calculates the associated payment value (cash, stock, or warrants) of the derivative features. The price of the underlying common stock is modeled such that it follows a geometric Brownian motion with constant drift, and elastic volatility (increasing as stock price decreases). The stock price is determined by a random sampling from a normal distribution. Since the underlying random process is the same, for enough price paths, the value of the derivative is derived from path dependent scenarios and outcomes. The features in the notes that were analyzed and incorporated into the model included the conversion features with the reset provisions, the call/redemption/prepayment options, and the default provisions. Based on these features, there are six primary events that can occur; payments are made in cash; payments are made with stock; the note holder converts upon receiving a redemption notice; the note holder converts the note; the issuer redeems the note; or the Company defaults on the note. The model simulates the underlying economic factors that influenced which of these events would occur, when they were likely to occur, and the specific terms that would be in effect at the time (i.e. stock price, conversion price, etc.). Probabilities were assigned to each variable such as redemption likelihood, default likelihood, and timing and pricing of reset events over the remaining term of the notes based on management projections. This led to a cash flow simulation over the life of the note. A discounted cash flow for each simulation was completed, and it was compared to the discounted cash flow of the note without the embedded features, thus determining a value for the derivative liability.

 

Key inputs and assumptions used to value the convertible note when it became convertible and upon settlement, and warrants upon tainting, were as follows:

 

 The stock projections are based on the historical volatilities for each date. These volatilities were in the 75.4%85.0% to 187.4%132.7% range. The stock price projection was modeled such that it follows a geometric Brownian motion with constant drift and a constant volatility, starting with the market stock price at each valuation date;
   
 An event of default would not occur during the remaining term of the note;
   
 Conversion of the notes to stock would be completed monthly after any holding period and would be limited based on: 5% of the last 6 months average trading volume and the ownership limit identified in the contract assuming the underlying number of common shares increases at 1% per month.month.
��  
 The effective discount was determined based on the historical trading history of the Company based on the specific pricing mechanism in each note;

10

 The Company would not have funds available to redeem the notes during the remaining term of the convertible notes;
 Discount rates were based on risk free rates in effect based on the remaining term and date of each valuation and instrument.
   
 The Holder would exercise the warrant at maturity if the stock price was above the exercise price;
   
 The Holder would exercise the warrant after any holding period prior to maturity at target prices starting at 2 times the exercise price for the Warrants or higher subject to monthly limits of: 5% of the last 6 months average trading volume increasing by 1% per month and the ownership limit identified in the contract assuming the underlying number of common shares increases at 1% per month.month.

 

Using the results from the model, the Company recorded a derivative liability during the ninesix months ended October 31,2021July 31, 2022 of $686,145733,081 for newly granted and existing warrants (see Note 6) that were tainted and a derivative liability of $97,434104,886 for the fair value of the convertible feature included in the Company’s convertible debt instruments. The derivative liability recorded for the convertible feature created a “day 1” derivative loss of $0 and a debt discount of $97,434104,886 that was amortized over the remaining term of the note using the effective interest rate method. Interest expense related to the amortization of this debt discount for the ninesix months ended October 31,2021,July 31, 2022, was $78,16596,264. The remaining unamortized debt discount related to the derivative liability was $19,2698,622 as of OctoberJuly 31, 2021.2022.

 

During the ninesix months ended October 31,2021,July 31, 2022, the Company recorded a reclassification from derivative liability to equity of $0 for warrants becoming untainted and $293,74278,474 due to the conversions of a portion of the Company’s convertible notes.

Business Development

 

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations and financial condition of our company. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. was formerly Liberty Star Gold Corp. and formerly Titanium Intelligence, Inc. (“Titanium”). Titanium was incorporated on August 20, 2001, under the laws of the State of Nevada. On February 5, 2004, we commenced operations in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties business. Big Chunk Corp. (“Big Chunk”) was our wholly owned subsidiary and was incorporated on December 14, 2003, in the State of Alaska. Big Chunk is engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties business in the State of Alaska. Big Chunk was dissolved on June 3, 2019. Redwall Drilling Inc. (“Redwall”) was our wholly owned subsidiary and was incorporated on August 31, 2007, in the State of Arizona. Redwall performed drilling services on our mineral properties. Redwall ceased drilling activities in July 2008 and was dissolved on March 30, 2010. In April 2007, we changed our name to Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp (“Liberty Star”) to reflect our current general exploration for base and precious metals. We are in the exploration phase of operations and have not generated any revenues from operations.

 

In October 2014, we formed our wholly owned subsidiary, Hay Mountain Holdings LLC (“HMH”) (formerly known as Hay Mountain Super Project LLC), to serve as the primary holding company for development of the potential ore bodies encompassed in the Hay Mountain area of interest in Arizona. On April 11, 2019, we formed a new subsidiary named Earp Ridge Mines LLC, wholly owned by Hay Mountain Holdings LLC, intended for engagement with future venture partners.

 

On August 13, 2020, the Company formed Red Rock Mines, LLC, an Arizona corporation, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hay Mountain Holdings, LLC.

 

Our Current Business

 

We are engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in the state of Arizona and the Southwest USA. Claims in the state of Arizona are held in the name of Liberty Star. We use the term “Super Project” to indicate a project in which numerous mineral targets have been identified, any one or more of which could potentially contain commercially viable quantities of minerals. Our significant projects are described below.

 

16

Tombstone Super Project (“Tombstone”): Tombstone is located in Cochise County, Arizona and covers the Tombstone caldera and its environs. Within the Tombstone caldera is the Hay Mountain target where we are concentrating our work at this time. We plan to ascertain whether the Tombstone, Hay Mountain claims possess commercially viable deposits of copper, molybdenum, gold, silver, lead, zinc, manganese and other metals including Rare Earth Elements (REE’s). We have not identified any ore reserves to date.

On June 16, 2020, the company acquired 2 Mineral Exploration Permits (MEP) covering 240 acres at Robbers Roost. Which is located 5.89 miles west of the Hay Mountain Project. While the Robbers Roost MEP area is new to the Company, it has been explored previously by several exploration companies, in the 1970’s and 1990’s, and recently has received significant interest by others operating in the area. Drilling by ASARCO indicates “the presence of a granodioritic porphyry intrusive at depth below the alteration zone. The intrusive is characterized by porphyry copper style alteration and mineralization.” (JB Nelson, “Robbers’ Roost Summary Report,” 1995, p. 2 http://docs.azgs.az.gov/SpecColl/2008-01/2008-01-0103.pdf)

 

From July 14th to August 5th, 2020, field mapping was conducted in the Hay Mountain Project area, located 7 km southeast of Tombstone, in Cochise County, Arizona. The purpose of mapping was to identify alteration and veining associated with an inferred porphyry copper system at depth, determine the extent of hydrothermal alteration, and comment on the possible the timing of emplaced mineralization. Mapping was conducted at 1:10,000 scale and a total of 183 carbonate vein samples were taken for XRF analysis and UV fluorescence response.

 

On November 11, 2020, the company announced the identification of potentially exploitable gold mineralization on its recently acquired Arizona State Land Department Mineral Exploration Permits. Preliminary surface exploration on the Red Rock MEPs advances the Company’s knowledge of the porphyry system signature associated with magnetic highs at, and adjacent to the north of, Target 1, and represent the expansion of biogeochemical, surface rock sampling, and x-ray fluorescence (XRF) work continuing at Target 1 and on the anticipated gold halo likely associated with the indicated porphyry center. The Company discovered multiple outcrops of intensely silicified rock in the initial observational field work. These outcrops generally occur in linear features several feet in thickness with multiple features oriented en-echelon with interstitial host country rock of varying horizontal dimension. These outcrops contain densely distributed jasperoids, which, when sampled yield what the Company believes are potentially economically exploitable concentrations of gold. There was a total of 23 representative (1 to 2 kg) rock sample assays. These assays demonstrate gold concentrations ranging from below detection limits of 0.05 ppm in country rock surrounding certain outcrops to a high of 13.55 ppm in direct outcrop samples. Of the 23 assayed samples, nine (9) show gold concentrations of 0.95 ppm or more.

 

On November 25, 2020, the company received approval from the Arizona State Land Department for 5 additional MEP’s covering 2,369.15 acres for a total of 16,662.10 acres or 26.03 sq miles at our Hay Mountain Project.

 

On March 15, 2021, the company announced the release of more rock chip assay results from the Red Rock Canyon area located within the Hay Mountain Project. 28 samples were submitted to the ALS/USA Inc. Tucson location with results returned to the Company February 6th. This set of samples are within and outside of the original study area and expand on the October 2020 geochemical sampling undertaken on MEP land within the Company’s Red Rock Canyon holdings.

 

On May 21, 2021, the company announced the public release of its latest technical report. The Technical Report on the Red Rock Canyon Gold Property Cochise County, Arizona (“RRC Technical Report” “The Report”). The Report was prepared by Broadlands Mineral Advisory Services Ltd., owned and operated by Liberty Star’s independent director Bernard J. Guarnera, P.ENG., QP, CMA. Mr. Guarnera authored The Report. His findings include that the Red Rock Canyon tract contains “gold at grades that are now considered economic” (p.1). Further, the compilation of previous drilling results, by others as noted in The Report, (p.30) indicates that 12 of 17 intercepts reported gold at grades above what is considered current cut off grades, 0.022 oz per ton (0.68 gpt). These historical intercepts range from five (5) to forty-five (45) feet in vertical extent and reveal multiple mineralized zones. Grades in the larger intercepts are reported up to 0.182 ounces per ton (5.66 gpt). Additionally, Liberty Star collected fifteen (15) more rock samples on a recent field visit near and at the locations of past drilling. The new field assays to confirm similar grades in the corresponding outcrops. These assay results have been posted to the Liberty Star website.

 

17

On May 26, 2021, the company announced the public release of geochemical assay results prepared by ALS/USA Inc. The Company noted in its news release issued May 21st that the results were forthcoming on the heels of its latest technical report focused on the gold prospect at Red Rock Canyon. Previously released geochemical assay results from October 2020 and Feb 2021 can be viewed on the Liberty Star Minerals website. This set of results strongly aligns with previous assay results indicating that the Red Rock portion of the Hay Mountain Project is a potential gold property.

 

16

On August 20, 2021, the company executed a financing agreement for the purpose of drilling for the Red Rock Canyon Gold Project, in Cochise County, Arizona. The agreement allows for a $1,000,000 common stock purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) and a $1,000,000 warrant agreement (the “Warrant Agreement,” together “the Agreements”) with Triton Funds LP (“Triton”) of San Diego, California under an S1 registration now effective.

Drilling mobilization will begin immediately upon completing prerequisite State of Arizona archeological and vegetation surveys and obtaining approval by the Arizona State Land Department, which the Company expects to be completed by early 2022. A diamond core drill rig is expected to be active shortly after approval.

 

Title to mineral claims involves certain inherent risks due to difficulties in determining the validity of certain claims, as well as potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many mineral properties. We have investigated title to all the Company’s mineral properties and, to the best of its knowledge, title to all properties retained are in good standing.

 

The mineral resource business generally consists of three stages: exploration, development and production. Mineral resource companies that are in the exploration stage have not yet found mineral resources in commercially exploitable quantities and are engaged in exploring land in an effort to discover them. Mineral resource companies that have located a mineral resource in commercially exploitable quantities and are preparing to extract that resource are in the development stage, while those engaged in the extraction of a known mineral resource are in the production stage. We have not found any mineral resources in commercially exploitable quantities.

 

There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our properties, and further exploration is required before we can evaluate whether any exist and, if so, whether it would be economically feasible to develop or exploit those resources. Even if we complete our current exploration program and we are successful in identifying a mineral deposit, we would be required to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before we could know whether that mineral deposit will constitute a commercially viable mineral deposit, known as an “ore reserve.”

 

To date, we have not generated any revenues. Our ability to pursue our business plan and generate revenues is subject to our ability to obtain additional financing, and we cannot give any assurance that we will be able to do so.

 

The extent to which the coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) impacts our businesses will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. If the disruptions posed by COVID-19 or other matters of global concern continue for an extensive period of time, our operations may be materially adversely affected. Currently, the Company has not experienced a significant impact on its businesses related to COVID-19. However, COVID-19 did, and continues to, impact us significantly with delays in acquiring a JV to begin our primary drilling project.

We also utilized our cash funds to continue exploration activities at our Hay Mountain mineral lands by working on geochemical interpretation of the soil, rock chip and vegetation sampling and ZTEM (aeromagnetics and aero electromagnetics). We purchased no new equipment during the nine months ended October 31,2021. We have been raising capital primarily by issuing convertible promissory notes, related party notes and the sale of common stock. We intend to continue to raise capital from such sources. In addition to seeking sources of funding through the sale of equity, we may seek to enter into joint venture agreements, or other types of agreements with other companies to finance our projects for the long term. In addition, we may choose to sell a portion of our assets to finance our projects. Should our properties prove to be commercially viable, we may be in a position to seek debt financing to help build infrastructure, and eventually we may obtain revenues from commercial mining of our properties.

Thenotes thereto. We consider critical accounting policies adopted byto be those that require more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our company are as follows:financial statements, including the following: long lived assets; intangible assets valuations; and income tax valuations. Management relies on historical experience and other assumptions believed to be reasonable in making its judgment and estimates. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

 

Going Concern

Since we have not generated any revenue, we have negative cash flows from operations and negative working capital, and we have included a reference to the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in connection with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements asManagement believes its application of October 31, 2021. Our total stockholders’ deficit at October 31, 2021 was approximately $2.1 million.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that adequate sources of financing will be obtained as required and that our assets will be realized, and liabilities settled in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Mineral claims

We account for costs incurred to acquire, maintain and explore mineral properties as charged to expense in the period incurred until the time that a proven mineral resource is established at which point development of the mineral property would be capitalized. Currently, we do not have any proven mineral resources on any of our mineral properties.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures at OctoberJuly 31, 2021,2022, which is the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this report. This evaluation was carried out by Mr. Brett Gross, our principal executive officer and Ms. Patricia Madaris, our principal financial officer. Based on this evaluation, Mr. Brett Gross and Ms. Patricia Madaris have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as at the end of the period covered by this report. Given the size of our current operation and existing personnel, the opportunity to implement internal control procedures that segregate accounting duties and responsibilities is limited. Until the organization can increase in size to warrant an increase in personnel, formal internal control procedures will not be implemented until they can be effectively executed and monitored. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our company in the reports that we file or submit 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 we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Management believes that despite our material weaknesses set forth above, our financial statements for the quarter ended OctoberJuly 31, 20212022, are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the quarter ended OctoberJuly 31, 2021,2022, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
