NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
October 31, 2024
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Healthcare Integrated Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is a healthcare technology company based in Knoxville, Tennessee. We are creating a diversified spectrum of healthcare technology solutions to integrate and automate the continuing care, home care and professional healthcare spaces.
Our initial product, SafeSpace™ with AI Vision™, is an ambient fall detection solution designed for continuing care communities and at home use. SafeSpace includes hardware devices utilizing RGB, radar and other sensor technology coupled with our internally developed software to effectively monitor a person remotely. In continuing care communities, SafeSpace detects resident falls and generates alerts to a centralized, intelligent dashboard without the use of wearable devices or any action by the resident. In the home, SafeSpace detects falls and sends alerts directly to designated individuals.
We recently introduced and are currently pilot testing two additional products - SafeFace™ and SafeGuard™. SafeFace provides fully automated and ambient time and attendance reporting for facility staff, and an integrated and automatic agency invoice reconciliation feature. SafeGuard is a novel fully ambient elopement detection and alerting system based on our facial recognition technology.
In addition to our current product offerings, we are developing a home concierge healthcare service application to provide a virtual assisted living experience for seniors, recently released postoperative patients and others. The concierge application will enable the consumer to obtain home healthcare services and health and safety monitoring equipment to improve quality of life. We are also working to develop a fully integrated solution for the professional healthcare community that integrates electronic health records, remote patient monitoring, telehealth, and other items where integration is beneficial.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements include those of Healthcare Integrated Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries, after elimination of all intercompany accounts and transactions. We have prepared the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements contain all of the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to fairly present the financial position of the Company as of October 31, 2024 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended October 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on October 29, 2024.
Consolidation Policy
Our consolidated financial statements are consolidated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries. We eliminate all intercompany transactions from our financial results.
Business Combinations
We account for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method requires that the acquired assets and liabilities, including contingencies, be recorded at fair value determined on the acquisition date and that changes thereafter be reflected in income (loss). The estimation of fair values of the assets and liabilities assumed involves several estimates and assumptions that could differ materially from the actual amounts recorded. The results of the acquired businesses are included in our results from operations beginning from the day of acquisition.
Allowance for Credit losses
In accordance with ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, we recognize an allowance for credit losses on acquired financial assets with credit deterioration since origination. The allowance of credit losses is measured based on the Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL) model, which requires an estimate of the expected credit losses over the life of the financial asset. This estimate considers historical loss information, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The allowance for credit losses, if any, is recorded as a reduction to the carrying amount of the financial asset, with a corresponding charge to earnings.
Risk and Uncertainties
Factors that could affect our future operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from management’s expectation include, but are not limited to: our ability to maintain and secure adequate capital to fund our operations and fully develop our product(s); our ability to source strong opportunities with sufficient risk adjusted returns; acceptance of the terms and conditions of our licenses and/or the acceptance of our royalties and fees; the nature and extent of competition from other companies that may reduce market share and create pressure on pricing and investment return expectations; changes in the projects in which we plan to invest which result from factors beyond our control, including, but not limited to, a change in circumstances, capacity and economic impacts; changes in laws, regulations, accounting, taxation, and other requirements affecting our operations and business. Negative developments in these or other risk factors could have a significant adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. We base our estimates on experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on a regular basis and actual results may differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts may be reclassified to conform to current period presentation with no changes to previously reported net loss or stockholders’ deficit.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company minimizes its credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution. The balance at times may exceed federally insured limits. No loss has been experienced and management does not believe we are exposed to any significant credit risk.
Restricted Cash
As of October 31, 2024, restricted cash includes cash received from investors prior to obtaining executed Common Stock Subscription Purchase Agreements (“SPAs”). The investors agreed to purchase 2,200,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $0.10 per share. The executed SPAs were received subsequent to October 31, 2024. The proceeds received were recorded as Deposits on stock subscription agreements in the interim consolidated balance sheets.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding customer balances. Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. Interest is not accrued on overdue accounts receivable. The Company does not require collateral.
Management periodically assesses the Company’s accounts receivable and, if necessary, establishes an allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon a review of the outstanding accounts receivable, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. Accounts determined to be uncollectible are charged to operations when that determination is made.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to credit risk consist of demand deposits with a financial institution. The Company is exposed to credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents in the event of default by the financial institution to the extent account balances exceed the amount insured by the FDIC, which is $250,000.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
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. A fair value hierarchy has been established for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date.
Level 2 Inputs – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or 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 (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 Inputs – Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and borrowings. The fair value of current financial assets and current financial liabilities approximates their carrying value because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized while minor replacements and maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the life of such assets, are charged to operations as incurred. Disposals are removed at cost less accumulated depreciation, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the interim consolidated statements of operations. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method which depreciates the assets over the estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets ranging from five to seven years.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of patents, our website and the costs of software developed for internal use. Certain payroll and stock-based compensation costs incurred are allocated to the intangible assets. We determine the amount of costs to be capitalized based on the time spent by employees or outside contractors on the projects. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their expected useful lives, which approximate 20-years for patents, 3-years for internally developed software and 2-years for website related cost. Intangible assets that are subject to amortization are evaluated for impairment at least annually, and additionally whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that an asset may be impaired. The impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets consists of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount. An impairment loss would be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. We recognized a $15,678 intangible asset impairment charge during the three months ended October 31, 2024. There were not any intangible asset impairment charges recorded during the three months ended October 31, 2023.
Intangibles, net was $436,711 and $506,743 as of October 31, 2024 and July 31, 2024, respectively. See Note 3 - Intangibles, Net.
Derivative Liability
Options, warrants, convertible notes, or other contracts, if any, are evaluated to determine if those contracts, or embedded components of those contracts, qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” (paragraph 815-10-05-4 and Section 815-40-25). The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as either an asset or a liability. The change in fair value is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion, exercise or cancellation of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the date of conversion, exercise, or cancellation and then the related fair value is reclassified to equity.
In circumstances where the embedded conversion option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated, and there are also other embedded derivative instruments in the convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.
The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
The Company adopted Section 815-40-15 of the FASB ASC (“Section 815-40-15”) to determine whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to the Company’s own stock. Section 815-40-15 provides that an entity should use a two-step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions.
We utilize a binomial option pricing model to compute the fair value of the derivative liability and to mark to market the fair value of the derivative liability at each balance sheet date. We record the change in the fair value of the derivative liability as other income or expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
We had no derivative assets or liabilities as of October 31, 2024 and July 31, 2024.
Related Parties
The Company follows subtopic ASC 850-10 for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. Pursuant to Section 850-10-20, the related parties include: (a) affiliates of the Company (“Affiliate” means, with respect to any specified person, any other person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such person, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 405 under the Securities Act); (b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825-10-15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; (c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; (d) principal owners of the Company; (e) management of the Company; (f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and (g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue recognition policy is to recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The Company follows the five-step model provided by ASC Topic 606 in order to recognize revenue in the following manner: 1) Identify the contract; 2) Identify the performance obligations of the contract; 3) Determine the transaction price of the contract; 4) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and 5) Recognize revenue. An entity recognizes revenue for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
Often contracts contain more than one performance obligation. Performance obligations are the unit of accounting for revenue recognition and generally represent the distinct goods or services that are promised to the customer. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. If we determine that we have not satisfied a performance obligation, we defer recognition of the revenue until the performance obligation is satisfied. The agreements are generally non-cancellable or contain significant penalties for early cancellation, although customers typically have the right to terminate their contracts for cause if we fail to perform material obligations. However, if non-standard acceptance periods, non-standard performance criteria, or cancellation or right of refund terms are required, revenue is recognized upon the satisfaction of such criteria.
Advertising and Marketing
Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred in accordance with ASC 720-35, “Advertising Costs.” We incurred advertising and marketing costs of $17,685 and $2,668 for the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the interim consolidated financial statements.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”) which establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation. It defines a fair value-based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument. The Company accounts for compensation cost for stock option plans, if any, in accordance with ASC 718.
Stock-based payments, excluding restricted stock, are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Grants of stock-based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered have been recorded at the fair value of the stock-based payment, which is the more readily determinable value. The grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service. Stock-based compensation expense is included in cost of goods sold or selling, general and administrative expenses, depending on the nature of the services provided, in the interim consolidated statements of operations. Stock-based payments issued to placement agents are classified as a direct cost of a stock offering and are recorded as a reduction in additional paid-in capital.
The Company recognizes all forms of stock-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants, at their fair value on the grant date, which are based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest. See Note 9 - Stock-Based Compensation.
Income Taxes
We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with Topic 740, “Income Taxes”. Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (1) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (2) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
ASC Topic 740-10-30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740-10-40 provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. We have no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.
Net Loss Per Common Share
We determine basic loss per share and diluted loss per share in accordance with the provisions of ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic loss per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The calculation of diluted income loss per share is similar to that of basic earnings per share, except the denominator is increased, if the earnings are positive, to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common shares had been exercised.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements as issued by the FASB in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) through the date these interim consolidated financial statements were available to be issued and found no recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective, that when adopted, will have a material impact on the interim consolidated financial statements of the Company.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company had net losses of $684,138 for the three months ended October 31, 2024 and $702,486 for its most recent fiscal year ended July 31, 2024, the Company now has significant working capital, however, we have a history of losses, an accumulated deficit, and have not generated cash from our operations to support a meaningful and ongoing business plan. It is management’s opinion that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In view of these matters, our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the continuing development, marketing and sales of a viable product to achieve a level of profitability. We intend to finance our future development activities and our working capital needs from the sale of private and public equity securities with additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. Although the Company believes in the viability of management’s strategy to generate sufficient revenue, control costs and the ability to raise additional capital, there can be no assurances to that effect. Therefore, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

5% Convertible Promissory Notes
On various dates during the month of March 2018, we issued a series of 5% Convertible Promissory Notes (collectively, the “5% Notes”) totaling $750,000 in net proceeds. We incurred no costs related to the issuance of the 5% Notes. The 5% Notes bear interest at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum, compounded annually and matured one-year from the date of issuance. At October 31, 2024 and July 31, 2024, accrued but unpaid interest on the 5% Notes was $66,845 and $63,914, respectively, which is included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” on our interim consolidated balance sheets.
The 5% Notes are convertible into common shares of the Company at a fixed ratio of two shares of common stock per dollar amount of the face value of the note. The principal terms under which the 5% Notes may be converted into common stock of the Company are as follows:
| ● | At the option of the holder, the outstanding principal amount of the note, and any accrued but unpaid interest due, may be converted into the Company’s common stock at any time prior to the maturity date of the note. |
| | |
| ● | The outstanding principal amount of the note, and any accrued but unpaid interest due, will automatically be converted into the Company’s common stock if at any time prior to the maturity date of the note, the Company concludes a sale of equity securities in a private offering resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of at least $1,000,000. |
At October 31, 2024, 5% Notes with a face amount of $175,000 and related accrued interest expense of $66,845 are currently in default and are not convertible under the conversion terms. [Management is currently negotiating amendments to the notes in default to extend the maturity dates of such notes and to encourage note conversions.]
Note Payable to Acorn Management Partners, LLC
On August 11, 2020 we agreed to repurchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock from Acorn Management Partners, LLC (“AMP”). As consideration for the share repurchase, we issued a $50,000 promissory note bearing interest a 6.0% per annum and due one-year from the date of issuance (the “Acorn Note”). In the event we default under the terms of the Acorn Note, we are required to deliver 1,000,000 shares of our common stock back to AMP in full satisfaction of the obligation. The purchased shares were delivered by AMP directly to the transfer agent on September 8, 2020 and immediately cancelled. At October 31, 2024 and July 31, 2024, accrued but unpaid interest on the Acorn Note was $12,669 and $11,919, respectively, which is included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” on our interim consolidated balance sheets. At October 31, 2024, the note and related accrued interest expense is in default. Management is currently negotiating an amendment to the note to extend the maturity date.

NOTE 10 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
To continue operations and meet operating cash requirements, we have periodically relied on short term loans from related parties, primarily shareholders, until such time as our cash flow from operations meets our cash requirements, or we are able to obtain adequate financing through sales of our equity securities and/or traditional debt financing. There is no formal written commitment for continued support by shareholders or others. Amounts loaned primarily relate to amounts paid to vendors. The loans are considered temporary in nature and have not been formalized by any written agreement. As of October 31, 2024 and July 31, 2024, related parties were owed $15,690 and $30,925, respectively, which are included in Accounts payable and accrued expenses, related party on the consolidated balance sheets (See Note 6 - Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses, Related Party). The amounts owed are payable on demand and carry no interest. The amounts and terms of the related party loans may not necessarily be indicative of the amounts and terms that would have been incurred had comparable transactions been entered into with independent third parties.
For compensation after August 1, 2023, we entered into a Non-Employee Chief Executive Officer Engagement Agreement (the “Contract CEO Agreement”) with Platinum Equity Advisors, LLC (“Platinum Equity”), a related party, to provide the services of our CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors. Platinum Equity Advisors, LLC is a related party, is our largest shareholder, and is owned 100% by the spouse of our CEO and Charman of our Board of Directors. At October 31, 2024 and July 31, 2024, we owed Platinum Equity $95,556 and $151,386, respectively, for amounts related to the Contract CEO Agreement. The amount owed is included in Accounts payable and accrued expenses, related party on the interim consolidated balance sheets (See Note 5 - Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses, Related Party).
On June 12, 2024, we issued a Promissory Note to Platinum Equity Advisors, LLC in the principal amount of $410,207 (See Note 7 – Notes Payable, Related Party). The note, plus accrued interest, is due on December 12, 2024. At October 31, 2024 and July 31, 2024, accrued but unpaid interest on the note was $15,839 and $5,583, respectively, (See Note 6 – Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses, Related Party). The amount and terms of the related party loan may not necessarily be indicative of the amount and terms that would have been incurred had comparable transactions been entered into with independent third parties.
During the three months ended October 31, 2024, the Company recognized $10,119 in office rent expense included in “Selling, general and administrative” on our interim consolidated statements of operations related to a month-to-month sublease agreement with Blue Earth Resources, Inc. (“BERI”), an entity related to the Company through common management control for use of certain office space.
NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
On September 18, 2023, Apex Funding Source, LLC (the “Lender”) filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, naming Grasshopper Staffing, Inc. and Indeliving Holdings, Inc., both of which are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, as defendants in the suit. The action against our wholly owned subsidiaries is due to an alleged guarantee of a loan the Lender made to BERI, an entity related to the Company through common management control. The lawsuit is an action for BERI’s breach of a loan agreement and failure to pay $4,705,900 in principal and interest to the Lender when due. The lawsuit also named Scott M. Boruff, the CEO and Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, and Platinum Equity Advisors, LLC, the Company’s largest principal shareholder that is controlled by Julie Boruff, spouse of Scott M. Boruff, as defendants for their alleged guaranty of the BERI loan.
On April 18, 2024, the Lender filed a motion seeking partial summary judgment on its First Cause of Action against BERI and its Second Cause of Action against Scott M. Boruff in the amount of $4,705,900, plus their actual and reasonable attorneys’ fees. Neither the Company nor its subsidiaries were included in the motion seeking partial summary judgment.
In the event the Lender attempts to enforce the alleged guarantees against our subsidiaries, we believe we have valid defenses against such an action. In addition, both subsidiaries previously discontinued their operations and currently have no assets. In the judgement of the Company’s management, if the pending actions were adversely determined they would not have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Employment and Consulting Agreements
On January 31, 2024, we entered into a Non-Employee Chief Executive Officer Engagement Agreement (the “Contract CEO Agreement”) with Platinum Equity Advisors, LLC (“Platinum”) to provide the services of Scott M. Boruff as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company for a term of three (3) years. Effective as of August 1, 2023, the Company shall pay Platinum an annual base fee of $102,000. The initial base fee is intended to compensate Platinum for a time commitment of up to 1/3 of the CEO’s time, attention, skill and best efforts to the Company. At the discretion of the Board of Directors, the base fee may be increased to a maximum annual amount of $306,000 to better reflect the value of any future increases in the CEO’s time commitment to the Company. If the Contract CEO Agreement is terminated by us without cause or by Platinum for good reason, we are obligated to pay Platinum severance equal to three (3) months base fee and any other earned but unpaid compensation. In addition, if at any time during the term of the Contract CEO Agreement Platinum is terminated by us without cause within two years after a Change in Control of our company, or in the 90 days prior the Change in Control at the request of the acquiror, we are obligated to pay Platinum an amount equal to 2.99 times the annual base fee. “Change in Control” is defined in the Contract CEO Agreement to mean the acquisition by any person of beneficial ownership of our securities representing greater than 50% of the combined voting power of our then outstanding voting securities. Platinum is eligible for equity awards and other benefits as approved by the Board of Directors.
On January 31, 2024, in connection with the appointment of Kenneth M. Greenwood as Chief Technology Officer of the Company, the Company and Mr. Greenwood entered into an employment agreement (the “Greenwood Employment Agreement”) with an initial term of three (3) years. Effective as of August 1, 2023, the Company shall pay Mr. Greenwood a base salary at the rate of $102,000 per annum. The initial base salary is intended to compensate Mr. Greenwood for a devotion of up to forty percent (40%) of his time, attention, skill and best efforts to the Company. At the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer, the base salary may be increased to a maximum annual amount of $255,000 to better reflect the value of any future increases in Mr. Greenwood’s time commitment to the Company. In the event Mr. Greenwood’s employment with the Company is terminated without cause, Mr. Greenwood shall be entitled to a severance payment equal to his currently in effect base salary for one (1) full year. If Mr. Greenwood is terminated without cause within two (2) years of a change in control upon request of the acquiror, Mr. Greenwood shall be entitled to a severance payment in an amount equal to 2.99 times the annualized base salary he is then earning. In addition, Mr. Greenwood is eligible for equity awards and other benefits as approved by the Board of Directors.
On January 31, 2024, in connection with the appointment of Susan A. Reyes, MD as Chief Medical Officer of the Company, the Company and Dr. Reyes entered into an employment agreement (the “Reyes Employment Agreement”) with an initial term of three (3) years. Effective as of August 1, 2023, the Company shall pay Dr. Reyes a base salary at the rate of $24,000 per annum. The initial base salary is intended to compensate Dr. Reyes for a fractional devotion of her time, attention, skill and best efforts to the Company. At the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer, the base salary may be increased to a maximum annual amount of $92,000 to better reflect the value of any future increases in Dr. Reyes’ time commitment to the Company. In the event Dr. Reyes’ employment with the Company is terminated without cause, Dr. Reyes shall be entitled to a severance payment equal to her currently in effect base salary for one (1) full year. If Dr. Reyes is terminated without cause within two (2) years of a change in control upon request of the acquiror, Dr. Reyes shall be entitled to a severance payment in an amount equal to 2.99 times the annualized base salary she is then earning. In addition, Dr. Reyes is eligible for equity awards and other benefits as approved by the Board of Directors.
On June 15, 2024, we entered into a Non-Employee Chief Strategy Officer Engagement Agreement (the “Contract CSO Agreement”) with Dustin M. Hillis to provide the services of Chief Strategy Officer to the Company for a term of three (3) years. The Company shall pay Mr. Hillis an annual base fee of $100,000, to be paid in equal monthly payments, and receive a grant of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock as a signing bonus. In addition to the base fee and stock grant, Mr. Hillis will be paid a commission on certain new and recurring business sales. Mr. Hillis is also eligible for discretionary bonuses, equity awards and other benefits as approved by the Board of Directors. If the Contract CSO Agreement is terminated by us without cause, or by Mr. Hillis for good reason, we are obligated to pay Mr. Hillis a severance equal to one month of base fee and any other earned but unpaid compensation due to him under the Contract CSO Agreement.
NOTE 12 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION OF OUR PLAN OF OPERATION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND RELATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS REPORT. THIS DISCUSSION CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT RELATE TO FUTURE EVENTS OR OUR FUTURE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE. THESE STATEMENTS INVOLVE KNOWN AND UNKNOWN RISKS, UNCERTAINTIES AND OTHER FACTORS THAT MAY CAUSE OUR 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. THESE RISKS AND OTHER FACTORS INCLUDE, AMONG OTHERS, THOSE LISTED UNDER “FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS” AND “RISK FACTORS” AND THOSE INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS REPORT.
This following discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting the interim consolidated financial statements, financial condition, liquidity, and cash flows of Healthcare Integrated Technologies, Inc, for the three months ended October 31, 2024, and 2023. The discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on October 29, 2024.
Healthcare Integrated Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries is a healthcare technology company based in Knoxville, Tennessee. We are creating a diversified spectrum of healthcare technology solutions to integrate and automate the continuing care, home care and professional healthcare spaces.
Our initial product, SafeSpace™ with AI Vision™, is an ambient fall detection solution designed for continuing care communities and at home use. SafeSpace includes hardware devices utilizing RGB, radar and other sensor technology coupled with our internally developed software to effectively monitor a person remotely. In continuing care communities, SafeSpace detects resident falls and generates alerts to a centralized, intelligent dashboard without the use of wearable devices or any action by the resident. In the home, SafeSpace detects falls and sends alerts directly to designated individuals.
We recently introduced and are currently pilot testing two additional products - SafeFace™ and SafeGuard™. SafeFace provides fully automated and ambient time and attendance reporting for facility staff, and an integrated and automatic agency invoice reconciliation feature. SafeGuard is a novel fully ambient elopement detection and alerting system based on our facial recognition technology.
In addition to our current product offerings, we are developing a home concierge healthcare service application to provide a virtual assisted living experience for seniors, recently released postoperative patients, and others. The concierge application will enable the consumer to obtain home healthcare services and health and safety monitoring equipment to improve quality of life. We are also working to develop a fully integrated solution for the professional healthcare community that integrates electronic health records, remote patient monitoring, telehealth, and other items where integration is beneficial.
Strategy
Our mission is to grow a profitable healthcare technology company by focusing on our core product, continuing the development of our proprietary software, and developing new uses and product lines for our technology. Our management team is focused on maintaining financial flexibility and assembling the right complement of personnel and outside consultants required to successfully execute our mission.
Financial and Operating Results
We continue to utilize funds raised from the private sales of our common stock, issuance of debt, and short-term advances from related parties to provide cash for our operations, which has allowed us to continue refining our initial product and readying it for pilot testing, developing future product offerings and adding talented individuals to our management team and on a contract basis. Highlighted achievements for the three months ended October 31, 2024 include:
| ● | On August 23, 2024, we appointed Micheal “Coach” Burt to our Board of Directors. |
| | |
| ● | On October 1, 2024, we appointed Timothy R. Brady as Fractional Chief Financial Officer. |
| | |
| ● | On November 5, 2024, we announced the appointment of Caleb Dixon as Chief Customer Officer to focus on enhancing customer engagement and satisfaction. |
| | |
| ● | We received $2,452,000 in net proceeds from the sale of our common stock at an average price of $0.10 per share during the three months ending October 31, 2024. |

Total Operating Expenses | | $ | 670,201 | | | $ | 215,656 | | | $ | 454,545 | | | | 211 | % |
Officers’ Salaries - Officers’ salaries increased $50,370, or 58%, over 2023 and is primarily due to the addition of our new Chief Strategy Officer and our Chief Executive Officer’s increased pay over the previous period, the Company’s officers accepted voluntary pay reductions in the prior comparable period.
Contract labor – Contract labor increased $36,011 over 2023 and is attributable to the addition of new finance and accounting personnel.
Professional Fees - Professional fees increased $29,813, or 70%. over the same period in the prior year primarily due to increased accounting and legal fees and the addition of a grant writing consultant.
Software Development – Software development expenses increased $29,806 over 2023 due to an increase in the use of independent contractors for specific development projects.
Travel and entertainment – Travel and entertainment expense increased $23,915, or 2,847%, over the same period in the prior year. The increase is primarily due to increased business travel by the senior management team.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working Capital
The following table summarizes our working capital for the interim period ended October 31, 2024 and fiscal year ended July 31, 2024:
| | October 31, 2024 | | | July 31, 2024 | |
Current assets | | $ | 2,266,684 | | | $ | 222,584 | |
Current liabilities | | | (944,223 | ) | | | (1,022,522 | ) |
Working capital surplus (deficit) | | $ | 1,322,461 | | | $ | (799,938 | ) |
Current assets for the interim period ended October 31, 2024 increased $2,044,100 as compared to the fiscal year ended July 31, 2024. The increase is primarily due to the receipt of $2,452,000 in net proceeds from the sale of our common stock at an average price of $0.10 per share during the three months ending October 31, 2024.
Current liabilities for the interim period ended October 31, 2024 decreased $78,299 as compared to the fiscal year ended July 31, 2024. The decrease is due to decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses and a reduction in payroll liabilities.
Net Cash Used by Operating Activities
We currently do not have a revenue source and will continue to have negative cash flow from operations for the near future. The factors in determining operating cash flows are largely the same as those that affect net earnings, except for non-cash expenses such as depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and impairment of intangibles, which affect earnings but do not affect operating cash flow. Net cash used by operating activities was $378,667 for the three months ended October 31, 2024 as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $3,049 for the three months ended October 31, 2023. The increase in cash used by operating activities is primarily attributable to an increase in operating costs and the payment of accounts payable and accrued expenses, including related party items.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $2,216,767 for the three months ended October 31, 2024, which represents a $2,213,998 increase over the same period of 2023. The increase is primarily due to the receipt of $2,452,000 in net proceeds from the sale of our common stock at an average price of $0.10 per share during the three months ending October 31, 2024.
Going Concern Qualification
At this time, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient funding from debt financings and/or the sale of our equity securities to meet our obligations over the next twelve months. We are likely to continue using short-term loans from management to meet our short-term funding needs. We have no material commitments for capital expenditures as of October 31, 2024.
We have a history of losses, an accumulated deficit, negative working capital and have not generated cash from operations to support a meaningful and ongoing business plan. Our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm has included a “Going Concern Qualification” in their report for the years ended July 31, 2024 and 2023. The foregoing raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. We intend on financing our future activities and working capital needs largely from the sale of private and/or public equity securities with additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. There is no guarantee that additional capital or debt financing will be available when and to the extent required, or that if available, it will be on terms acceptable to us. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The “Going Concern Qualification” might make it substantially more difficult to raise capital.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of U.S. GAAP. U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to U.S. GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 of our consolidated financial statements.
We believe the following critical policies impact our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Business Combinations
We account for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method requires that the acquired assets and liabilities, including contingencies, be recorded at fair value determined on the acquisition date and that changes thereafter be reflected in income (loss). The estimation of fair values of the assets and liabilities assumed involves several estimates and assumptions that could differ materially from the actual amounts recorded. The results of the acquired businesses are included in our results from operations beginning from the day of acquisition.
In accordance with ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, we recognize an allowance for credit losses on acquired financial assets with credit deterioration since origination. The allowance of credit losses is measured based on the Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL) model, which requires an estimate of the expected credit losses over the life of the financial asset. This estimate considers historical loss information, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The allowance for credit losses, if any, is recorded as a reduction to the carrying amount of the financial asset, with a corresponding charge to earnings.
Risk and Uncertainties
Factors that could affect our future operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from management’s expectation include, but are not limited to: our ability to maintain and secure adequate capital to fund our operations and fully develop our product(s); our ability to source strong opportunities with sufficient risk adjusted returns; acceptance of the terms and conditions of our licenses and/or the acceptance of our royalties and fees; the nature and extent of competition from other companies that may reduce market share and create pressure on pricing and investment return expectations; changes in the projects in which we plan to invest which result from factors beyond our control, including, but not limited to, a change in circumstances, capacity and economic impacts; changes in laws, regulations, accounting, taxation, and other requirements affecting our operations and business. Negative developments in these or other risk factors could have a significant adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We base our estimates on experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on a regular basis and actual results may differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
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. A fair value hierarchy has been established for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date.
Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or 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 (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and borrowings. The fair value of current financial assets and current financial liabilities approximates their carrying value because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of patents, our website and the costs of software developed for internal use. Certain payroll and stock-based compensation costs incurred are allocated to the intangible assets. We determine the amount of costs to be capitalized based on the time spent by employees or outside contractors on the projects. Intangible assets are amortized over their expected useful life on a straight-line basis. We evaluate the useful lives of these assets on an annual basis and test for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets. If the estimate of an intangible asset’s remaining life is changed, the remaining carrying value of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over the revised remaining useful life.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets such as property, equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment at least annually or whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows, market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset.
Derivative Liability
Options, warrants, convertible notes, or other contracts, if any, are evaluated to determine if those contracts, or embedded components of those contracts, qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” (paragraph 815-10-05-4 and Section 815-40-25). The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as either an asset or a liability. The change in fair value is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion, exercise or cancellation of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the date of conversion, exercise, or cancellation and then the related fair value is reclassified to equity.
In circumstances where the embedded conversion option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated, and there are also other embedded derivative instruments in the convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.
The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
The Company adopted Section 815-40-15 of the FASB ASC (“Section 815-40-15”) to determine whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to the Company’s own stock. Section 815-40-15 provides that an entity should use a two- step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions.
We utilize a binomial option pricing model to compute the fair value of the derivative liability and to mark to market the fair value of the derivative at each balance sheet date. We record the change in the fair value of the derivative as other income or expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
Related Parties
The Company follows subtopic ASC 850-10 for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. Pursuant to Section 850-10-20, the related parties include: (a) affiliates of the Company (“Affiliate” means, with respect to any specified person, any other person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such person, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 405 under the Securities Act); (b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825-10-15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; (c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; (d) principal owners of the Company; (e) management of the Company; (f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and (g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
Contract Liabilities
The Company receives payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules. Contract liabilities include payments received in advance of performance under the contract. Contract assets include amounts related to the Company’s contractual right to consideration for completed performance obligations not yet invoiced. Our contract assets and liabilities are reported on an individual contract basis at the end of each reporting period. Contract liabilities are classified as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when we expect to recognize revenue. The Company expects to recognize all outstanding contract liabilities over the next 12 months.
Contract Combination
The Company may execute more than one contract or agreement with a single customer. The Company evaluates whether the agreements were negotiated as a package with a single objective, whether the amount of consideration to be paid in one agreement depends on the price and/or performance of another agreement, or whether the goods or services promised in the agreements represent a single performance obligation. The conclusions reached can impact the allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation and the timing of revenue recognition related to those arrangements. The Company applied the revenue model to a portfolio of contracts with similar characteristics where we expected that the financial statements would not differ materially from applying it to the individual contracts within that portfolio.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” using the modified retrospective method. Under this method, the Company follows the five-step model provided by ASC Topic 606 in order to recognize revenue in the following manner: 1) Identify the contract; 2) Identify the performance obligations of the contract; 3) Determine the transaction price of the contract; 4) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and 5) Recognize revenue. An entity recognizes revenue for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
Often contracts contain more than one performance obligation. Performance obligations are the unit of accounting for revenue recognition and generally represent the distinct goods or services that are promised to the customer. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. If we determine that we have not satisfied a performance obligation, we defer recognition of the revenue until the performance obligation is satisfied. The agreements are generally non-cancellable or contain significant penalties for early cancellation, although customers typically have the right to terminate their contracts for cause if we fail to perform material obligations. However, if non-standard acceptance periods, non-standard performance criteria, or cancellation or right of refund terms are required, revenue is recognized upon the satisfaction of such criteria.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”) which establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation. It defines a fair value-based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument. The Company accounts for compensation cost for stock option plans, if any, in accordance with ASC 718.
Stock-based payments, excluding restricted stock, are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Grants of stock-based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered have been recorded at the fair value of the stock-based payment, which is the more readily determinable value. The grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service. Stock-based compensation expenses are included in cost of goods sold or selling, general and administrative expenses, depending on the nature of the services provided, in the consolidated statements of operations. Stock-based payments issued to placement agents are classified as a direct cost of a stock offering and are recorded as a reduction in additional paid in capital.
The Company recognizes all forms of stock-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants, at their fair value on the grant date, which are based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest.
Capital Resources
We had no material commitments for capital expenditures as of October 31, 2024.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements as of October 31, 2024.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We do not hold any market risk sensitive instruments. We consider our interest rate risk exposure to be minimal as a result of fixing interest rates on 100% of our debt. At October 31, 2024, there was no floating rate debt that would expose us to market fluctuations in interest rates.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, at the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). In conducting its evaluation, management considered the material weaknesses described below in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of the Evaluation Date we did not maintain disclosure controls and procedures that were effective in providing reasonable assurances that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange act of 1934 was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods prescribed by SEC rules and regulations, and that such information was accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be 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 the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any system of controls is 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 its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
