NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND RISKS AND UNCERTANTIES

Organization and Operations

KULR Technology Group, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary, KULR Technology Corporation (collectively referred to as “KULR” or the “Company”), develops and commercializes high-performance thermal management technologies for electronics, batteries, and other components across a range of applications. Currently, the Company is focused on targeting both high performance aerospace and Department of Defense (“DOD”) applications, such as satellite communications, directed energy systems and hypersonic vehicles, and applying them to mass market commercial applications, such as lithium-ion battery energy storage, electric vehicles, 5G communication, cloud computer infrastructure, consumer and industrial devices.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2022 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2022 or any other period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and related disclosures as of December 31, 2021 and for the year then ended, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Form 10-K on March 28, 2022.

Risks and Uncertainties

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19, a novel strain coronavirus, a pandemic. During 2020 and continuing into 2022, the global economy has been, and continues to be, affected by COVID-19. While the Company continues to see signs of economic recovery as certain governments begin to gradually ease restrictions, provide economic stimulus and accelerate vaccine distribution, the rate of recovery on a global basis has been affected by resurgence of the virus or its variants in certain jurisdictions. For example, in response to an outbreak of infection in Shanghai, beginning in March 2022, governmental authorities in China implemented a lockdown order in that city, significantly slowing economic and business activity in that region. We continue to monitor the rapidly evolving situation and guidance from international and domestic authorities and may take additional actions based on their recommendations and requirements or as we otherwise see fit to protect the health and safety of our employees, customers, partners and suppliers.

The full extent of the future impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations and financial condition is uncertain. Accordingly, COVID-19 could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects during 2022 and beyond, including the demand for its products, interruptions to supply chains, ability to maintain regular research and development and manufacturing schedules as well as the capability to meet customer demands in a timely manner. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Since the date of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies, except as disclosed in this note.

Liquidity

During April 2022, the Company received an aggregate of $2,933,156 of gross proceeds upon the exercise of warrants. On May 13, 2022, the Company issued a $5,000,000 promissory note to an investor for gross proceeds of $4,750,000. On the same date, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement, which gives the Company the right, but not the obligation, to sell up to $50,000,000 of its shares of common stock to the same investor during the commitment period. See Note 9 – Stockholders’ Equity for additional information on the aforementioned transactions.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had cash of $12,991,732 and working capital of $8,477,713. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of $9,391,240 and used cash in operations of $9,010,695.

While the Company anticipates it will continue to incur operating losses and use cash in operating activities for the foreseeable future, the Company believes that its current working capital, combined with the cash availability pursuant to the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement, is sufficient in comparison to its anticipated cash usage for a period of at least twelve months after the filing date of these financial statements.

Use of Estimates

Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, together with amounts disclosed in the related notes to the financial statements. The Company’s significant estimates used in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, fair value calculations for equity securities, stock-based compensation and the valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets. Certain of the Company’s estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Customer and Revenue Concentrations

The Company had certain customers whose revenue individually represented 10% or more of the Company's total revenue, or whose accounts receivable balances individually represented 10% or more of the Company's total accounts receivable, as follows:


	Revenues								Accounts Receivable
	For the Three Months Ended				For the Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,				As of		As of
	2022		2021		2022		2021		June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021

There is no assurance the Company will continue to receive significant revenues from any of these customers. Any reduction or delay in operating activity from any of the Company’s significant customers, or a delay or default in payment by any significant customer, or termination of agreements with significant customers, could materially harm the Company’s business and prospects. As a result of the Company’s significant customer concentrations, its gross profit and results from operations could fluctuate significantly due to changes in political, environmental, or economic conditions, or the loss of, reduction of business from, or less favorable terms with any of the Company’s significant customers.

Vendor Concentrations

Vendor concentrations are as follows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively:


	For the Three Months Ended				For the Six Months Ended

Inventory

Inventory is comprised of carbon fiber velvet (“CFV”) thermal interface solutions and internal short circuit batteries, which are available for sale. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. The cost of inventory that is sold to third parties is included within cost of sales and the cost of inventory that is given as samples is included within operating expenses. The Company periodically reviews for slow-moving, excess or obsolete inventories. Products that are determined to be obsolete, if any, are written down to net realizable value.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). The core principle of ASC 606 requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation.

The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:

●

Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer;

●

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

●

Step 3: Determine the transaction price;

●

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

●

Step 5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company recognizes revenue primarily from the following different types of contracts:

●

Product sales – Revenue is recognized at the point in time the customer obtains control of the goods and the Company satisfies its performance obligation, which is generally at the time it ships the product to the customer.

●

Contract services – Revenue is recognized at the point in time that the Company satisfies its performance obligation under the contract, which is generally at the time the services are fulfilled and/or accepted by the customer.

The following table summarizes the Company’s revenue recognized in its consolidated statements of operations:


	For the Three Months Ended				For the Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
Product sales	$	557,664	$	577,360	$	730,263	$	755,609
Contract services		29,882		50,884		57,782		290,540
Total revenue	$	587,546	$	628,244	$	788,045	$	1,046,149

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, the Company had $20,000 and $132,303 of deferred revenue, respectively, from contracts with customers. The contract liabilities represent payments received from customers for which the Company had not yet satisfied its performance obligation under the contract, or the customers have not officially accepted the goods or services provided under the contract. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized $0 and $112,303, respectively, that was included in deferred revenue in a previous period. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, there was 0 revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods.

Deferred labor costs represent costs to fulfill the Company’s contract service revenue. The Company will recognize the deferred labor costs as cost of revenues at the point in time that the Company satisfies its performance obligation under the respective contract, which is generally at the time the services are fulfilled and/or accepted by the customer.

Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common and dilutive common-equivalent shares outstanding during each period.

The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted net loss per common share:

NOTE 9 STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Standby Equity Purchase Agreement

On May 13, 2022, KULR Technology Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the “SEPA”) with YA II PN, Ltd. (“Yorkville”). Pursuant to the SEPA, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Yorkville up to $50,000,000 of its shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at the Company’s request any time during the commitment period commencing on May 13, 2022 and terminating on the earliest of (i) the first day of the month following the 24-month anniversary of the SEPA and (ii) the date on which Yorkville shall have made payment of any advances requested pursuant to the SEPA for shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the commitment amount of $50,000,000. Each sale the Company requests under the SEPA (an “Advance”) may be for a number of shares of common stock with an aggregate value of up to $5,000,000. The shares would be purchased at 98.0% of the Market Price (as defined below) and would be subject to certain limitations, including that Yorkville could not purchase any shares that would result in it owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock at the time of an Advance (the “Ownership Limitation”) or a cumulative aggregate of 19.9% of the Company’s outstanding common stock as of the date of the SEPA (the “Exchange Cap”). The Exchange Cap will not apply under certain circumstances, including to any sales of common stock under the SEPA that equal or exceed the Minimum Price (as defined in Section 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual). “Market Price” is defined in the SEPA as the average of the VWAPs (as defined below) during each of the three consecutive trading days commencing on the trading day following the Company’s submission of an Advance notice to Yorkville. “VWAP” is defined in the SEPA to mean, for any trading day, the daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for such date on the NYSE American as reported by Bloomberg L.P. during regular trading hours. There were 0 issuances pursuant to the SEPA during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Common Stock

During March 2022, the Company issued an aggregate of 70,143 shares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants pursuant to which the Company received an aggregate of $87,679 of gross proceeds.

During April 2022, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,346,525 shares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants pursuant to which the Company received an aggregate of $2,933,156 of gross proceeds. In connection with an inducement offer from the Company, the Company issued new warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,346,525 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share (the “New Warrants”). The New Warrants expire on December 31, 2025. The value of the New Warrants provided to the exercising warrant holders was deemed to be an offering cost associated with an equity financing to raise capital, pursuant to ASU 2021-04. Because the New Warrants were determined to be classified as equity, the credit to additional paid-in capital associated with the issuance of the New Warrants is offset by the debit to additional paid-in capital related to the offering cost. The warrants had a grant date value of $3,657,763, calculated using the Black Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions used: risk free rate – 2.88%, expected term – 3.69, expected volatility – 100%, expected dividends – 0%.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition of KULR Technology Group, Inc. (“KULR”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, KULR Technology Corporation (“KTC”) (collectively referred to as “KULR” or the “Company”) as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to those unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements that are included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. References in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations to “us”, “we”, “our” and similar terms refer to the Company. This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains statements that are forward-looking. These statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risk, uncertainties and other factors. These statements are often identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “estimate,” or “continue,” and similar expressions or variations. Actual results could differ materially because of the factors discussed in “Risk Factors” elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, and other factors that we may not know.

Overview

KULR Technology Group, Inc., through our wholly-owned subsidiary KULR Technology Corporation, develops and commercializes high-performance thermal management technologies for batteries, electronics, and other components across an array of battery-powered applications. For aerospace and Department of Defense (“DOD”) applications, our solutions target high performance applications in direct energy, hypersonic vehicles and satellite communications. For commercial applications, our main focus is a total solution to battery safety and sustainability by which we aim to mitigate the effects of thermal runaway propagation which has been known to cause random fires in lithium-ion (“Li-ion”) batteries. This total battery safety solution can be used for electric vehicles, energy storage, battery recycling transportation, cloud computing and 5G communication devices. Our proprietary core technology is a carbon fiber material that provides what we believe to be superior thermal conductivity and heat dissipation for an ultra-lightweight and pliable material. By leveraging our proprietary cooling solutions that have been developed through longstanding partnerships with advanced technology users like NASA, the Jet Propulsion Lab and others, our products and services make commercial battery powered products safer and electronics systems cooler and lighter.

KULR’s business model continues to evolve from being a component supplier, to providing more design and testing services to our customers. The next step of evolution is to provide total system solutions to address market needs. In order to scale up as a systems provider more quickly and efficiently in the Li-ion battery energy storage and recycling markets, KULR will actively seek partners for joint venture, technology licensing and other strategic partnership models. The goal is to leverage the Company’s thermal design technology expertise to create market leading products, which KULR will take to market directly to capture more value for KULR shareholders.

In June, KULR achieved significant milestone in executing this strategy by securing an initial order for over 75 megawatt hours (“MWh”) of Li-ion battery cell capacity from Taiwan’s E-One Moli Energy Corporation (“Molicel”) to design and build battery applications with the highest safety ratings. As part of the strategic relationship, KULR would purchase over 700MWh of battery energy capacity to further accelerate its production and supply chain localization initiatives within North America. Securing this Molicel battery cell supply accelerates our ability to provide total solutions to high value customer applications with revenue potential that could exceed $350 million.

Through the partnership with Molicel, KULR will apply a holistic and comprehensive solution to battery safety and thermal energy management with a suite of technologies including its: Passive Propagation Resistant (“PPR”) design and testing, Internal Short Circuit (“ISC”) trigger cells, Fractional Thermal Runaway Calorimeter (“FTRC”) testing and AI-powered CellCheck battery management system, to target the following markets:

●

Aerospace and defense systems, such as CubeSat batteries meeting JSC 20793 safety requirements and the strategic battery reserve program initiated by NASA

●

Energy storage systems

●

High-performance electric vehicles and electric vertical take-off and landing (“eVOTL”)

●

Premium industrial and consumer electronics

Recent Developments

Sales and Marketing

The KULR Sales and Marketing group further expanded with the onboarding of a Director of Product Marketing, Internal Sales Manager, and Technical Sales Lead. These individuals bring over 60+ years of experience to the KULR team and will bring more focus on sales related to energy storage and recycling. Additionally, KULR has added an additional Manufacturer’s Representative team to support East Coast sales. With the increase in product platforms and expanded sales and marketing capabilities, KULR now has in excess of 300 customers in our active sales funnel.

The Sales team were successful in landing four major commercial accounts for our SafeCase products with deployment trials underway. Additionally, with support of our major recycling partner, KULR were able to obtain UPS permits allowing for shipment of batteries utilizing the KULR SafeCase products. This is a major milestone for the expansion of SafeCase utilization.

Additionally, KULR received a follow-on order for the space-developed phase change material (“PCM”) heat sink technology from leading aerospace and defense company Lockheed Martin Corporation.

Operations and HR

The KULR organization took a tremendous leap forward in completing ISO 9001 certification for our San Diego headquarter facility during the quarter. This is an exceptional accomplishment for the team and demonstrates KULR’s dedication is pursuit of manufacturing excellence and operational controls.

Our fully automated battery testing capability has begun installation with initial processing capabilities of approximately 500,000 18650/21700 cells annually in support of NASA WI-37. System installation will complete in Q3’22 with full capacity processing initiating in Q4’22. This capability will be used to support NASA and DOD battery cell deployments as well as for internal demands related to KULR qualified cells deployments.

KULR hired an additional 10 permanent employees during the second quarter and maintains an outsource strategy for software development and volume TRS manufacturing. We have 42 full-time and two part-time employees as of June 30, 2022.

COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19, a novel strain coronavirus, a pandemic. During 2020 and continuing into 2022, the global economy has been, and continues to be, affected by COVID-19. While the Company continues to see signs of economic recovery as certain governments begin to gradually ease restrictions, provide economic stimulus and accelerate vaccine distribution, the rate of recovery on a global basis has been affected by resurgence of the virus or its variants in certain jurisdictions. Although recent cases and deaths from the COVID-19 pandemic have generally declined in the United States, spread of COVID-19 in China recently resulted in a temporary lockdown covering all of Shanghai, China where our manufacturing partner has its headquarter. During the first quarter of 2022, we experienced significant impact to our business due to the COVID-19 lockdown in China. As of March 2022, inventory in excess of $325,000 could not be shipped due to the COVID-19 lockdown in Shanghai. The product was shipped, and revenue was recognized during the second quarter. COVID-related challenges have resulted in delays in product shipment, not cancellations. As restrictions ease in the coming months, we expect to make up for lost time and revenue as we move through our sizeable inventory. We are currently taking active steps to direct our production and supply chain activities to North America to geographically diversify and potentially reduce further COVID-19 impacts.

The full extent of the future impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations and financial condition is uncertain. Accordingly, COVID-19 could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects during 2022 and beyond, including the demand for its products, interruptions to supply chains, ability to maintain regular research and development and manufacturing schedules, as well as the capability to meet customer demands in a timely manner. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Results of Operations

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared With Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2021

Revenue

Our revenues consisted of the following types:


	For the Three Months Ended				For the Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
Product sales	$	557,664	$	577,360	$	730,263	$	755,609
Contract services		29,882		50,884		57,782		290,540
Total revenue	$	587,546	$	628,244	$	788,045	$	1,046,149

For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we generated $587,546 and $628,244 of revenues from 12 and 6 customers, respectively, representing a decrease of $40,698, or 6%. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we generated $788,045 and $1,046,149 of revenues, respectively, representing a decrease of $258,104, or 25%, resulting from three contracts received during the first quarter of 2021.

Revenue from product sales during the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by $19,696 or 3% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. Revenue from product sales during the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by $25,346 or 3% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. Product sales during these periods include sales of our component product, carbon fiber velvet (“CFV”) thermal management solution, internal short circuit (“ISC”) battery cells and devices, patented TRS technology, and thermal fiber thermal interface (“FTI”) materials.

Revenue from contract services during the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by approximately $21,002 or 41% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. Revenue from contract services during the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by approximately $232,758 or 80% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 is primarily attributable to three large DOD contracts received during the first quarter of 2021 generated $233,656 of revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Our service revenues, which include certain research and development contracts and onsite engineering services, have not been hampered by restrictions arising from working under COVID-19 shelter-in-place regulations.

Our customers and prospective customers are large organizations with multiple levels of management, controls/procedures, and contract evaluation/authorization. Furthermore, our solutions are new and do not necessarily fit into pre-existing patterns of purchase commitment. Accordingly, the business activity cycle between expression of initial customer interest to shipping, acceptance and billing can be lengthy, unpredictable, and lumpy, which can influence the timing, consistency and reporting of sales growth.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues consisted of the cost of our products as well as labor expenses directly related to product sales or research contract services.

Generally, we earn greater margins on revenue from products as compared to revenue from services, so product mix plays an important part in our reported average margins for any period. Also, we are introducing new products at an early stage in our development cycle and the margins earned can vary significantly between periods, customers and products due to the learning process, customer negotiating strengths, and product mix.

Table of Contents

For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, cost of revenues was $423,672 and $439,206, respectively, representing an increase of $15,534, or 4%. The increase was primarily due to increased labor costs to produce finished goods, costs to procure component material for a new product line, and shipping costs from our foreign manufacturer. The gross margin percentage was 28% and 30% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in margins realized during the three months ended June 30, 2022 is primarily attributable to an increase in headcount for production, new costs related to material for our new Safe Case product, and shipping costs from our foreign manufacturers.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, cost of revenues was $546,590 and $714,474, respectively, representing a decrease of $167,884, or 23%. The decrease was primarily due to decreased costs as a result of decreased revenues. The gross margin percentage was 31% and 32% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in margins realized during the six months ended June 30, 2022 is primarily attributable to an increase in headcount for production, new costs for material for our new Safe Case product, and shipping costs from our foreign manufacturers.

The short and long-term worldwide implications of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine are difficult to predict at this time. The imposition of sanctions on Russia by the United States or other countries and possible counter sanctions by Russia, and the resulting economic impacts on oil prices and other materials and goods, could affect the price of materials used in the manufacture of our product candidates. If the price of materials used in the manufacturing of our product candidates increase, that would adversely affect our business and the results of our operations.

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which contemplate our continuation as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, our management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting whereas we did not design or maintain effective controls to ensure that there is an independent review and approval of electronic payments (wires, EFT’s, ACH’s and credit card payments) as our policy of providing timely support to ensure completeness and accuracy of the payment was not followed which continued to exist as of June 30, 2022. We are currently in the process of implementing a detailed plan for remediation of the material weakness, including developing and maintaining preventative controls around the electronic payment process to ensure proper segregation of duties.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Except as disclosed above, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the second quarter of 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over current or future financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations of the Effectiveness of Controls

Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
