CLX INVESTMENT COMPANY, INC.
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2005 and 2004
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF ORGANIZATION
This summary of significant accounting policies of CLX Investment Company, Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. In the opinion of management, all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been included. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
a. Organization and Business Activities
CLX Investment Company, Inc. (“the Company” or “CLXN”) is an investment company reporting under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a “Business Development Company”. The Company was incorporated on December 12, 1977 under the laws of the State of Colorado as Calvin Exploration Company, Inc. to engage in any lawful activity as shall be appropriate under laws of the State of Colorado. The Company was organized to engage in on-shore oil and gas exploration, development and production in the continental United States. The Company's oil and gas activities concentrated primarily in Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma and Wyoming. In 1993 the name of the Company was changed to CLX Energy, Inc. Up until September 1, 2004 the Company engaged in only one industry segment and line of business; the acquisition, exploration, development and operation of oil and gas properties for its own account.
On September 13, 2004, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to become a Business Development Corporation as defined under the Investment Act of 1940. Additionally, on September 13, 2004, the Company filed an offering circular with the SEC for up to $5,000,000 of common stock under Regulation E of the Investment Act to raise capital and to make investments in eligible emerging or early-stage companies in various fields of business by arranging for and contributing capital and providing management assistance. In anticipation of the election to become a BDC, the Company changed its name to CLX Investment Company, Inc. on September 1, 2004 to properly reflect the nature of its business.
On May 24, 2004 the Company appointed new management and moved its headquarters to Temecula, CA. At the same time the Company formed CLX Oil & GAS, LLC a wholly owned subsidiary of CLX Energy, Inc. and transferred all of the oil and gas operations of the Company (including the assets and liabilities pertaining to such operations) into CLX Oil & Gas, LLC. On September 1, 2004 the Company sold 100% of its interest in CLX Oil & Gas, LLC to certain shareholders of the Company in exchange for shares of CLX Energy, Inc. The shareholders returned 1,433,552 shares in exchange for 100% interest in CLX Oil & GAS, LLC. The Board of Directors approved the "Securities Purchase and Sale Agreement" and also obtained a fairness opinion from Lehrer Financial and Economic Advisory Service indicating that the Securities Purchase and Sale Agreement was a fair and equitable exchange. The sale of the subsidiary has been accounted for as an asset sale transaction and al l gas and oil operations are reported as discontinued operations on the financial records.
The Company presently has three portfolio investments: eStrategy Solutions, Inc., ActionView International, Inc, and Zonda, Inc.
NOTE 2 - CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
During the quarter ended December 31, 2005, the Company restructured $200,000 in convertible debentures into promissory notes payable October 1, 2006 and bearing interest at the rate of 8% per annum. As a result, this portion of the Company’s convertible debentures has been classified as long-term debt.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2005, the Company restructured $150,888 in convertible debentures into a stock payable for 15,088,800 shares of common stock.
10
NOTE 3 – STOCK PAYABLE
During the quarter ended December 31, 2005, the Company received $75,000 for a stock payable agreement for 7,500,000 shares of common stock. The Company also restructured $220,488 in convertible debentures into a stock payable for 22,048,800 shares of common stock.
NOTE 4 – EQUITY TRANSACTIONS
During the quarter ended December 31, 2005, the Company issued 300,000 shares of common stock on the conversion of $5,400 of convertible debentures. The Company also issued 250,000 shares of common stock for a cash sale of $4,500. This stock was issued unrestricted under the Company’s exemption from registration pursuant to Regulation E.
The shares sold pursuant to the Company’s offering circular under Regulation E were sold by the Company’s officer and directors without the assistance of any broker dealers. The Company relied on Regulation E in making these sales. No advertising or general solicitation was employed in offering these shares. Each purchaser received a copy of the Company’s offering circular. The shares sold in reliance on Regulation E are not restricted securities.
NOTE 5 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Stock Transactions
Subsequent to December 31, 2005 the Company issued 29,548,800 shares of common stock for a stock payable of $295,488. In addition, the Company also issued 12,610,000 shares of common stock for cash totaling $128,860. This stock was issued unrestricted under the Company’s exemption from registration pursuant to Regulation E.
Portfolio Investments
Subsequent to December 31, 2005, the Company made an additional investment of $157,851 into its portfolio company Zonda, Inc.
NOTE 6 - GOING CONCERN
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependant upon its ability to successfully seek out and consummate investments, or to secure other sources of financing such that it may commence profitable operations. Further, if the Company is not able to generate positive cash flow from operations, or is unable to secure adequate funding under acceptable terms, there is substantial doubt that the company an continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
11
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
GENERAL
The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts may contain forward-looking statements that involve a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed or anticipated by management. Potential risks and uncertainties include, among other factors, general business conditions, government regulations, manufacturing practices, competitive market conditions, success of the Company's business strategy, delay of orders, changes in the mix of products sold, availability of suppliers, concentration of sales in markets and to certain customers, changes in manufacturing efficiencies, development and introduction of new products, fluctuations in margins, timing of significant orders, and other risks and uncertainties currently unknown to management.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company's financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in the external disclosures of the Company including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We review valuations based on estimates for reasonableness and conservatism on a consistent basis throughout the Company. Primary areas where financial information of the Company is subject to the use of estimates, assumptions and the application of judgment inclu de acquisitions, valuation of long-lived and intangible assets, and the realizability of deferred tax assets. 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.
Valuation Of Long-Lived And Intangible Assets
The recoverability of long lived assets requires considerable judgment and is evaluated on an annual basis or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. As it relates to definite life intangible assets, we apply the impairment rules as required by SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Assets to Be Disposed Of" as amended by SFAS No. 144, which also requires significant judgment and assumptions related to the expected future cash flows attributable to the intangible asset. The impact of modifying any of these assumptions can have a significant impact on the estimate of fair value and, thus, the recoverability of the asset.
Income Taxes
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. We regularly review our deferred tax assets for recoverability and establish a valuation allowance based upon historical losses, projected future taxable income and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences. As of December 31, 2005, we estimated the allowance on net deferred tax assets to be one hundred percent of the net deferred tax assets.
Valuation of Investments
As an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Company is not permitted to employ the “equity method” of accounting for ownership in subsidiaries. As a result, we do not consolidate the operations and balance sheets of our portfolio investments regardless of the percent of ownership. In lieu thereof, we are required to carry the value of our portfolio investments at “fair market value.”
As required by ASR 118, the investment committee of the company is required to assign a fair value to all investments. To comply with Section 2(a)(41) of the Investment Company Act and Rule 2a-4 under the Investment Company Act, it is incumbent upon the board of directors to satisfy themselves that all appropriate factors relevant to the value of securities for which market quotations are not readily available have been considered and to determine the method of arriving at the fair value of each such security. To the extent considered necessary, the board may appoint persons to assist them in the determination of such value, and to make the actual calculations pursuant to the board's direction. The board must also, consistent with this responsibility, continuously review the appropriateness of the method used in valuing each issue of security in the company's portfolio. The directors must recognize their responsibilities in this matter and whenever technical assistance is requested from individuals who are not directors, the findings of such intervals must be carefully reviewed by the directors in order to satisfy themselves that the resulting valuations are fair.
12
No single standard for determining "fair value...in good faith" can be laid down, since fair value depends upon the circumstances of each individual case. As a general principle, the current "fair value" of an issue of securities being valued by the board of directors would appear to be the amount which the owner might reasonably expect to receive for them upon their current sale. Methods which are in accord with this principle may, for example, be based on a multiple of earnings, or a discount from market of a similar freely traded security, or yield to maturity with respect to debt issues, or a combination of these and other methods. Some of the general factors which the directors should consider in determining a valuation method for an individual issue of securities include: 1) the fundamental analytical data relating to the investment, 2) the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the securities, and 3) an evaluation of the forces whi ch influence the market in which these securities are purchased and sold. Among the more specific factors which are to be considered are: type of security, financial statements, cost at date of purchase, size of holding, discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at time of purchase, special reports prepared by analysis, information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security, existence of merger proposals or tender offers affecting the securities, price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable companies, and other relevant matters.
The board has arrived at the following valuation method for its investments. Where there is not a readily available source for determining the market value of any investment, either because the investment is not publicly traded, or is thinly traded, and in absence of a recent appraisal, the value of the investment shall be based on the following criteria:
1. Total amount of the Company's actual investment ("AI"). This amount shall include all loans, purchase price of securities, and fair value of securities given at the time of exchange.
2. Total revenues for the preceding twelve months ("R").
3. Earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation ("EBITD")
4. Estimate of likely sale price of investment ("ESP")
5. Net assets of investment ("NA")
6. Likelihood of investment generating positive returns (going concern).
The estimated value of each investment shall be determined as follows:
• Where no or limited revenues or earnings are present, then the value shall be the greater of the investment's a) net assets, b) estimated sales price, or c) total amount of actual investment.
• Where revenues and/or earnings are present, then the value shall be the greater of two point five times (2.5x) revenues or six times (6x) earnings, plus the greater of the net assets of the investment or the total amount of the actual investment.
• Under both scenarios, the value of the investment shall be adjusted down if there is a reasonable expectation that the Company will not be able to recoup the investment or if there is reasonable doubt about the investments ability to continue as a going concern.
The Board of Directors of the Company, using the above formula, has valued the Company’s investments at $192,789. The Board has not retained independent appraisers to assist in the valuation of the portfolio investments because the cost was determined to be prohibitive for the current levels of investments.
COMPANY STRATEGY
CLX Investment Company, Inc. (“the Company” or “CLXN”) is an investment company reporting under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a “Business Development Company”. The Company was incorporated on December 12, 1977 under the laws of the State of Colorado as Calvin Exploration Company, Inc. to engage in any lawful activity as shall be appropriate under laws of the State of Colorado. The Company was organized to engage in on-shore oil and gas exploration, development and production in the continental United States. The Company's oil and gas activities concentrated primarily in Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma and Wyoming. In 1993 the name of the Company was changed to CLX Energy, Inc. Up until September 1, 2004 the Company engaged in only one industry segment and line of business; the acquisition, exploration, development and operation of oil and gas properties for its own account.
13
On May 24, 2004 the Company appointed new management and moved its headquarters to Temecula, CA. At the same time the Company formed CLX Oil & GAS, LLC a wholly owned subsidiary of CLX Energy, Inc. and transferred all of the oil and gas operations of the Company (including the assets and liabilities pertaining to such operations) into CLX Oil & Gas, LLC. On September 1, 2004 the Company sold 100% of its interest in CLX Oil & Gas, LLC to certain shareholders of the Company in exchange for shares of CLX Energy, Inc. The shareholders returned 1,433,552 shares in exchange for 100% interest in CLX Oil & GAS, LLC. The Board of Directors approved the "Securities Purchase and Sale Agreement" and also obtained a fairness opinion from Lehrer Financial and Economic Advisory Service indicating that the Securities Purchase and Sale Agreement was a fair and equitable exchange. The sale of the subsidiary has been accounted for as an asset sale transaction and al l gas and oil operations are reported as discontinued operations on the financial records.
On September 13, 2004, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to become a Business Development Corporation as defined under the Investment Act of 1940. Additionally, on September 13, 2004, the Company filed an offering circular with the SEC for up to $5,000,000 of common stock under Regulation E of the Investment Act to raise capital and to make investments in eligible emerging or early-stage companies in various fields of business by arranging for and contributing capital and providing management assistance. In anticipation of the election to become a BDC, the Company changed its name to CLX Investment Company, Inc. on September 1, 2004 to properly reflect the nature of its business.
CLX Investment Company, Inc. presently has three portfolio investments: eStrategy Solutions, Inc, ActionView International, Inc. and Zonda, Inc. Management anticipates making additional portfolio investments as opportunities present themselves in the coming year.
Investment Strategy
CLX Investments Company, Inc. intends to make strategic investments in cash-flow positive companies with perceived growth potential. The Investment Committee has adopted a charter wherein these two criteria will be weighed against other criteria including strategic fit, investment amount, management ability, etc. In principle, the Company will prefer to make investments in companies where the Company can acquire at least a 51% ownership interest in the outstanding capital of the portfolio company, or exert some other management control.
As a Business Development Company, the Company is required to have at least 70% of its assets in "eligible portfolio companies." It is stated in the Investment Committee Charter that the Company will endeavor to maintain this minimum asset ratio.
Portfolio Investments
The Company presently has three portfolio investments: eStrategy Solutions, Inc., ActionView International, Inc, and Zonda, Inc.
eStrategy Solutions, Inc.
eStrategy Solutions, Inc. is a Texas corporation specializing in the development, and marketing of e-learning software solutions. The Company owns 49% of the common stock of eStrategy Solutions, Inc., which it acquired in exchange for cash and an open line of credit. eStrategy Solutions already has training software in place but is projecting a late January completion date for its expanded content delivery platform, which is expected to significantly increase the user capacity of its training programs. The implementation of this new platform is expected to allow the company to expand its customer base and grow revenues unfettered by current system limitations.
The Texas Department of Information Resources has recently renewed its contract to engage the services of eStrategy Solutions. Under the terms of the contract, eStrategy Solutions can be retained by agencies to serve as the provider for agency defined training courses via web-based training. The contract includes development costs, notification to participants, delivery, testing, and management reporting, encompassing all state agencies, all institutions of higher learning, all independent school districts, counties and municipalities. To date, there have been several thousand deliveries covering over 20 courses. In addition to delivery, eStrategy Solutions provides completion documentation and management reports.
14
In the State of Texas, eStrategy Solutions has focused its business strategy on a large market niche that has a clear need for low-cost, highly effective e-learning programs. eStrategy Solutions has proven a new unique sales and pricing model that targets a defined portion of overlooked clients. By focusing on thousands of licensing regulatory agencies and certificate granting organizations, eStrategy Solutions offers enterprise level software features at low cost, and eStrategy Solutions further creates a cost-recovery method which produces funds needed to deploy a robust e-learning system. An example of this cost-recovery method is at work with the Texas Board of Chiropractic Examiners (CE). This agency chose eStrategy Solutions to host the learning system at no cost and convert the mandatory CE course into an attractive web based delivery to thousands of chiropractic professionals. The convenience of online secure payment and 24-hour access to courses are a source of savings for the user and eStrategy splits the revenue with the agency.
eStrategy Solution’s market is not just limited to Texas. The model that has been developed in Texas is applicable to all other states as well. The market potential for e-learning is in the billions of dollars and eStrategy Solutions is expected to grow and capture a significant percentage of its specific market segment.
ActionView International, Inc.
On July 15, 2005, the Company entered into a financing agreement with ActionView International, Inc. (“AVWI”) wherein the Company will provide a line of credit to AVWI in the amount of $350,000. The line of credit accrues interest at 8% per annum and is to be repaid in an amount equal to the greater of 25% of net monthly income (EBIT) or $25,000 per month commencing on the earlier of nine months from the date of the final draw down, or the month following the third consecutive month in which AVWI generates net income (EBIT) of at least $50,000. In consideration AVWI shall issue CLXN a total of 2,000,000 shares of AVWI restricted common stock, the shares will be issued in proportion with the line of credit being drawn upon.
AVWI custom-designs, develops and manufactures “smart” scrolling advertising billboards. AVWI attempts to place its signs into high traffic locations and then markets advertising space on the signs. Advertising revenues generated from the billboards will be shared with advertising agencies, the local business partner and the location owner. The benefit to advertisers is big, bold exposure at top tier locations at very reasonable costs. AVWI’s plan for proceeds is manufacturing the remaining billboards at the Guangzhous airport just outside of Hong Kong and general working capital purposes. With all 150 airport signs in place, advertising revenue is expected to be $3.9mm for the calendar year 2006.
Zonda, Inc.
On August 30, 2005, the Company entered into a financing agreement with Zonda, Inc. (“Zonda”) wherein the Company will provide a line of credit to Zonda in the amount of $500,000. The line of credit accrues interest at 8% per annum, in consideration for the line of credit Zonda shall issue an equity position of 20% to the Company.
Zonda, Inc. is a privately held company that specializes in test products that serve the medical diagnostic (IVD), food safety, and sanitation testing markets. Zonda is currently expanding the distribution of its product lines into broader markets around the world. The first product that has been targeted for accelerated marketing and distribution efforts is an innovative, rapid, self-contained diagnostic device for the detection of Chlamydia. The device, which is marketed under the HandiLab name, is superior to its competition due to its comparable accuracy, ease of use, compact design, long shelf life, rapid results and cost effectiveness.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Quarter ended December 31, 2005 compared to quarter ended December 31, 2004
During the quarter ended December 31, 2005, the Company incurred a net loss of $64,165 or $0.00 per share compared
to a net loss of $231,828 or $0.17 per share for the same quarter of 2004. The current loss is primarily due to an unrealized gain on non affiliated investment of $34,282 related to the Company’s portfolio investments and operating expenses, which were $100,330 for the quarter ended December 31, 2005. The Company will be able to keep future operating costs at a minimum based on the management agreement it has in place to outsource all its administrative support. Interest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 was $8,818.
Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2005 were $8,301 compared with revenues of $50 for the three months ended December 31, 2004. The current revenue was generated from interest income from portfolio investments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with principles of accounting applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred operating losses in the quarter ended December 31, 2005, and some of the past years and has generated an accumulated deficit of $1,737,537. The Company requires additional capital to meet its operating requirements. Management plans to increase cash flows through the sale of securities. The portfolio companies are cash flow positive but will require additional funds against their line of credit for operations. Funds will also be required for additional portfolio investments. There are no assurances that such capital raising plans will be successful. No adjustments have been made to the accompanying financial statements as a result of this uncertainty.
As of December 31, 2005, the Company had total cash and current assets of $466,497 and current liabilities of $382,569. The Company generated cash for operations through the sale of common stock. As of December 31, 2005, the Company has promissory notes payable October 1, 2006 and bearing interest at the rate of $8% per annum and a stock payable in the amount of $295,488 for 29,548,800 shares of common stock. On September 13, 2004, the Company filed a notification with the Securities and Exchange Commission of its intent to raise capital through the issuance of securities exempt from registration under Regulation E of the Securities Act of 1933. This exemption allows the Company to sell up to $5,000,000 of securities exempt from registration. Subsequent to December 31, 2005 the company raised another $128,860 in cash for the sale of 12,610,000 shares of common stock under Regulation E, the Company also issued 29,548,000 shares of common stock for a stock payable of $295,488. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise any additional funds through the issuance of the remaining convertible debentures or that any funds made available will be adequate for the Company to continue as a going concern. Further, if the Company is not able to generate positive cash flow from operations, or is unable to secure adequate funding under acceptable terms, there is substantial doubt that the company can continue as a going concern.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
An investment in the Company involves a high degree of risk. In addition to matters discussed elsewhere in this report, careful consideration should be given to the following risk factors. This report contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could be substantially different from the results we anticipate in these forward-looking statements because of one or more of the factors described below and/or elsewhere in this report. If any of these risks were to actually occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition would likely suffer materially. The risks outlined below are those which management believes are material to an understanding of our business and the risks inherent in it, but such list is not exclusive of every possible risk which may impact the Company and its shareholders in the future. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also appear or increase in significance, and could therefore impair our projected business results of operations and financial condition.
Risks Related to Our Business
Our future operating results are subject to a number of risks, including our ability or inability to implement our strategic plan and to raise sufficient financing as required. Inability of our management to guide growth effectively, including implementing appropriate systems, procedures and controls, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
Our future growth depends on the addition of portfolio companies that are cash flow positive and can contribute to the overall growth of the Company. The Company has a plan to implement acquisitions and is presently evaluating several companies to see if they will fit the criteria that have been established. The future performance of the companies acquired will determine if these evaluations were correct. And although part of the process is to evaluate the history of the companies to determine stability in their respective industries there is no assurance that this stability will continue. Change in revenue or expense projections or even changes in the industry that cannot be adjusted to will could adversely affect performance.
16
We require additional funds to support our business operations.
We require additional capital in order to implement our current business plan as contemplated in this report. CLX Investment Company intends to attempt to raise funds during the second fiscal quarter of 2006 through the sale of stock exempt from registration to accredited investors. If we are unable to raise the necessary capital we require, which we estimate to be a minimum of $500,000 and not more than $2,000,000, then we may not be able to operate our business in the manner described in this report. Our inability to raise the funds we require, when we require them and on terms that are reasonably acceptable to our management, would have a materially adverse effect upon our ability to maintain and grow our business.
If we do raise the funds we require to grow the business, it could result in substantial dilution to our existing shareholders.
To the extent that much of our financing will be raised through the issuance of convertible debentures, stock will be issued at a discount to the market upon conversion of the debt resulting in substantial dilution to our existing shareholders which is disproportionate to the value of the funds received by us in such transaction. There is no guarantee that additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms when needed, or at all.
Our failure to effectively manage our growth could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We expect our business to grow rapidly. Such growth will place a significant strain on our management systems and resources. We will need to continue to improve our operational and financial systems and managerial controls and procedures, and we will need to continue to expand, train and manage our workforce.
If we are unable to retain key personnel or attract new personnel, it could have a material adverse effect on our business.
The loss of services of any of our key personnel or our inability to successfully attract and retain qualified personnel in the future would have a material adverse effect on our business. We do not maintain key person life insurance on any of our employees.
Risks Related To Our Industry
Laws and regulations may prohibit or severely restrict our ability to raise capital.
Various government agencies in the United States and throughout the world regulate capital raising practices. If we are unable to continue our business in our existing manner then we may not be able to acquire additional portfolio investments, which would hamper or even cause our business to fail. Additionally, government agencies and courts may use their powers and discretion in interpreting and applying laws in a manner that limits our ability to operate or otherwise harm our business. Also, if any governmental authority brings a regulatory enforcement action against us that interrupts our ability to raise capital, or which results in a significant fine or penalty assessed against us, our business could suffer.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act"), we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures within the 90 days prior to the filing date of this report. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Tammy Dunn and Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Kenneth Wiedrich. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting management to material information relating to us and required to be included in our periodic SEC filings. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date we carried out our evaluation.
17
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
