F- 4 Kisses From Italy, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Unaudited Financial Statements For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2019, and 2018 NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Kisses From Italy Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Florida on March 7, 2013. The Company’s main focus is to develop a fast, casual food dining chain restaurant business of corporate-owned restaurants and expanding through a nationwide/international franchise and territory sales program. The Company commenced operations in May 2015 by opening its first location in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Three additional restaurants, which were located in various Wyndham Hotel properties in the Pompano Beach, Florida area, were then opened within the following ten months. All locations, which were in leased facilities, were fully operational by April 2016. In December 2017, the Company vacated one of its restaurants due to hurricane damage and permanently closed that located in 2018. On May 30, 2019, the Company announced that it was working on opening its inaugural corporate-owned Italian location. The new location is expected to enable the Company to build its European franchise program and distribution network, as well as creating efficiencies in its planned product distributions that can be scaled across the various business units. The new restaurant, located at Strada Provinciale 70 #100, Via Vittorio Veneto 100 Ceglie del Campo, Bari, Italia, is also expected to become the Company’s training facility for future franchises in Europe. The Company expects to have the location fully operational during the fourth quarter of 2019. Expenses associated with opening the new location included the Company’s financial statements for the six month period ended June 30, 2019, were not material. NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Management’s Representation of Interim Financial Statements The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted as allowed by such rules and regulations, and management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements include all of the adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2018, and 2017 filed with the SEC on April 16, 2019. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. This basis of accounting involves the application of accrual accounting and consequently, revenues and gains are recognized when earned, and expenses and losses or recognized when incurred. The consolidated financials include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries; Kisses from Italy 9 th LLC, Kisses from Italy-Franchising LLC; and its 70% owned subsidiary, Kisses-Palm Sea Royal LLC. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Going Concern The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve-month period following the date of these financial statements. On a consolidated basis, the Company has incurred significant operating losses since inception. Because the Company does not expect that existing operational cash flow will be sufficient to fund presently anticipated operations, this raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the Company will need to raise additional funds and is currently exploring alternative sources of financing. Historically, the Company has raised capital through private placements, as an interim measure to finance working capital needs and may continue to raise additional capital through the sale of Common Stock or other securities and obtaining some short-term loans. The Company will be required to continue to so until its consolidated operations become profitable. Also, the Company has, in the past, paid for consulting services with its Common Stock to maximize working capital, and intends to continue this practice where feasible. F- 5 Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates relate to revenue recognition, impairment of long-lived assets, valuation of financial instruments, income taxes, and contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known or expected trends and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable given the quality of information available as of the date of these financial statements. The results of these assumptions provide the basis for making estimates about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Revenue Recognition Sales, as presented in the Company’s consolidated statement of earnings, represents food and beverage product sold and is presented net of discounts, coupons, employee meals, and complimentary meals. Revenue from restaurant sales is recognized when food and beverage products are sold. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). For the six months ended June 30, 2019, and the year ended December 31, 2018, respectively, the consolidated financial statements were not materially impacted as a result of the application of Topic 606. Non-controlling interest Non-controlling interest represents third-party ownership in the net assets of one of our consolidated subsidiaries. For financial reporting purposes, the assets and liabilities of our majority-owned subsidiary consolidated with those of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, with any third-party investor’s interest shown as non-controlling interest. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s cash equivalents totaled $10,422 and $22,877, respectively. Property and equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost or fair value. During 2018 the Company permanently closed one of its locations and removed all property and detachable leaseholds. The Company believes that this equipment and leaseholds which are in excellent condition can be used at existing and new locations and that the undepreciated book value is equivalent to its fair market value, thus no impairment was recorded. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method and is charged to operations over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The carrying amount and accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts in the year of disposal and any resulting gain or loss is included in results of operations. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows: Computers, software, and office equipment 1 – 6 years Machinery and equipment 3 – 5 years Leasehold improvements Lesser of the lease term or estimated useful life F- 6 Income taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes” . Under FASB ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. 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. Under FASB ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. FASB ASC 740-10-05, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company assesses the validity of its conclusions regarding uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis to determine if facts or circumstances have arisen that might cause it to change its judgment regarding the likelihood of a tax position’s sustainability under audit. Stock-based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value method following the guidance set forth in Section 718-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosure about Stock-Based Compensation. This section requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award- the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. Leases The Company follows the guidance in ASC 840 “ Leases ,” which requires us to evaluate the lease agreements the Company enters into to determine whether they represent operating or capital leases at the inception of the lease. Net Loss per Share Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period as defined by Financial Accounting Standards, ASC Topic 260, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , which establishes a new lease accounting model for lessees. The updated guidance requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Codification Improvements , which clarifies certain aspects of the new lease standard. The FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases in July 2018. Also in 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements, which provides an optional transition method whereby the new lease standard is applied at the adoption date and recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings. The amendments have the same effective date and transition requirements as the new lease standard. As an emerging growth company, we have until December 15, 2019, to adopt ASC 842. While we continue to evaluate the impact of the new standard, we expect the adoption of this guidance will have not have any impact on our financial statements. F- 7 NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company had $10,422 and $22,877 in cash on hand respectively and for the six month periods ended June 30, 2019, and 2018, the Company recorded revenues of $278,001 and $237,111, respectively. Additionally, as of June 30, 2019, the Company had a working capital deficit of $240,368; and negative stockholders equity of $(607,338). In the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018, and 2017, the Reports of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm include an explanatory paragraph that describes substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Based on the Company’s current financial projections, it believes it does not have sufficient existing cash resources to fund its current operations. It is the Company’s current intention to raise debt and/or equity financing to fund ongoing operating expenses. There is no assurance that these events will be satisfactorily completed or at terms acceptable to the Company. Any issuance of equity securities, if accomplished, could cause substantial dilution to existing stockholders. Any failure by the Company to successfully implement these plans would have a material adverse effect on its business, including the possible inability to continue operations. NOTE 4 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT The following table sets forth the components of the Company’s property and equipment at June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018: June 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 Cost Accumulated Depreciation Net Book Value Cost Accumulated Depreciation Net Book Value Capital assets subject to depreciation: Furniture and equipment $ 56,966 (39,978 ) 16,988 $ 52,868 (35,200 ) 17,668 Leasehold improvements 175,916 (119,515 ) 56,401 175,716 (103,036 ) 72,680 Total fixed assets $ 232,882 (159,493 ) 73,389 $ 228,584 (138,236 ) 90,348 For the six month periods ended June 30, 2019, and 2018, respectively the Company recorded depreciation and amortization of $21,258 and $19,876 respectively. NOTE 5 – ACCRUED AND OTHER LIABILITIES The following table sets forth the components of the Company’s accrued liabilities at June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018. June 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 Sales tax payable $ 20,533 $ 12,605 Accrued interest payable 28,430 21,728 Accrued rent – 12,114 Payroll tax liabilities 113,026 109,642 Accrued other – 2,000 Total accrued liabilities $ 161,989 $ 158,089 The Company is in arrears on its payroll tax payments as of June 30, 2019. Included in the “payroll tax liabilities” as of June 30, 2019, is approximately $29,774 in interest and penalties. F- 8 NOTE 6 – LOANS PAYABLE The Company has one asset-based line of credit of $9,301. The amount of credit available to be accessed is dependent on the amount of documented credit receipts received by the Company’s restaurants. The due dates on these credit advances are typically between 90 and 180 days. The interest rate on the facility is approximately 32%, plus additional processing fees of approximately 5%. As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, loan payable balances were $9,301 and $4,066 respectively. The amount of loans outstanding was significantly reduced due to proceeds from less expensive (in terms of the interest rate) convertible debt that was applied against loan balances. NOTE 7 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the balance of convertible notes was $441,450 and $277,650, respectively. In April 2018, the Company commenced a private offering of up to $500,000 in convertible debenture (the “Debentures”), to non-residents of the US. These notes accrue interest at the rate of 8% per annum and are convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock and are only convertible until such time as the Company’s Common Stock is approved for trading, of which there is no assurance, at a conversion rate of $0.0667 per share. Interest is payable annually, on or before February 15 of each year. The Debentures mature three years after the issuance date. As of the date hereof, an aggregate of $441,450 in Debentures have been issued. None have been converted. Since the Company’s shares were previously sold in a private placement at a price of $0.10 per share, the difference in price is considered a beneficial conversion feature. Since the holders of the Notes have the right to convert immediately, the beneficial conversion feature of $147,003 has been immediately expensed and recorded as interest expense. NOTE 8 – STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY Capital Stock At June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, there were 81,780,170 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, with a $0.001 par value. 25,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, with a par value $0.01 per share, are authorized, none of which has been issued or was outstanding as of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, respectively.

F- 10 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included herein. In connection with, and because we desire to take advantage of, the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we caution readers regarding certain forward-looking statements in the following discussion and elsewhere in this report and in any other statement made by, or on our behalf, whether or not in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on our behalf. We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements. Overview and History We are a Florida corporation incorporated on March 7, 2013, focused on developing a fast, casual food dining chain restaurant business. We commenced operations by opening our initial corporately owned location in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in May 2015. We opened three additional locations by April 2016, all in Southern Florida, through a working relationship with Wyndham Hotels. In September 2017, Hurricane Irma caused significant damage to the area. As a result of the damage from the Hurricane, our hotel locations closed due to the fact that the Wyndham hotel group had to halt operations at the respective hotel properties in order to begin the necessary repairs and renovations following the storm. All but one of our restaurants are located in timeshare developments. The storm impacted travel to Florida during this time and is just now reaching prior levels. While our Fort Lauderdale location was reopened in early November 2017, we were only able to reopen two of the hotel locations in Pompano Beach in late January 2018. We also elected not to reopen our 4 th location, as the damages were too excessive. If we are able to raise additional capital, of which there is no assurance, our intention is to own and operate up to 10 of our restaurants and utilize them as a showcase in the marketing of our proposed franchise operations. In May 2017, we completed our National Franchise License and now have the ability to sell franchises in all of the states in the US except for New York, Virginia, and Maryland which we intend to add at later dates if sufficient demand exists. In June 2017, we completed the sales of two franchise locations in Florida. We anticipate commencement of the building and development of these locations by early 2020. On May 30, 2019, we announced that we were working on opening our inaugural corporate-owned Italian location. We are both hopeful and confident this will be the first of many new outlets across the European continent. Italian traditions and culture have always been the source of inspiration behind our culinary concept. It is expected to allow us to establish and build our European franchise program and distribution network, as well as creating efficiencies, in our planned product distributions, that can be scaled across the various business units. The new restaurant, located at Strada Provinciale 70 #100, Via Vittorio Veneto 100 Ceglie del Campo, Bari, Italia, is also expected to become our training facility for future franchises in Europe. We expect to have the location fully operational during the fourth quarter of 2019. We have never been subject to any bankruptcy proceeding. Our principal offices are located at 80 SW 8 th St. Suite 2000, Miami, Florida, 33130, telephone (305) 423-7129 and our website is www.kissesfromitaly.com. Results Of Operations Comparison of Results of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019, and 2018 Revenue and Cost of Sales During the six month period ended June 30, 2019, our revenues were $278,011 compared to $237,111 for the same six month period ended June 30, 2018, an increase of $40,890, or approximately 17.2%. We are continuing our efforts to recover from the impact that Hurricane Irma had on our business and South Florida in general. 5 Cost of goods sold during the six months ended June 30, 2019, was $126,934 compared to $103,333 during the same period in 2018. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 45.7% and 43.6% for the periods ended June 30, 2019, and 2018, respectively. We are not as efficient in terms of cost of sales at lower revenue levels. We expect our cost of sales as a percentage of sales to be reduced as sales levels increase, of which there is no assurance. Operating expenses Operating expense increased during this period, to $361,827 in the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $261,840 during the same period in 2018, an increase of $99,987. This increase was primarily as a result of increased payroll. Payroll increased by $57,738 because in 2019 our hotel locations were operating at full capacity in comparison to 2018, when operations were limited by the impact of the Hurricane.. Rent expense also increased by over $21,290 in this period as a result of rent abatements received in the 2018 period. We also commenced efforts to expand our business into Italy during this period. During this period approximately $15,000 in operating expense was attributable to these efforts. Additionally, general and administrative expenses increased by $46,584 in the 2019 period compared to the same period in 2018. This increase is primarily attributable to increased . expense across various categories including approximately $15,000 spent toward the pending expansion of the Company’s European location mentioned throughout this Report. Other expense Other income and expense was $73,685 during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $57,497 during the same period in 2018 due to increased interest expense from increased borrowing, specifically our convertible notes issued subsequent to June 30, 2018, See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below. Net Loss As a result, during the six months ended June 30, 2019, we incurred a net loss attributable to Kisses from Italy Inc. of ($274,872) or $0.00 per share and a net loss attributable to non-controlling interests of ($9,574); compared to a net losses of ($185,560) or $0.00 per share and a $(9,509) a net loss attributable to non-controlling interests; respectively, for the same six-month period in 2018. The increase in the net loss attributable to Kisses from Italy Inc. of $98,886 for the six month period ended June 30, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018 is primarily attributable to increased operating expenses and interest expense, partially offset by an increase in gross margin due to higher sales. Comparison of Results of Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2019, and 2018 Revenue and Cost of Sales During the three-month period ended June 30, 2019, our revenues increased from $131,707 in the 2018 period to $162,429, an increase of $30,722, approximately 23.3%. We are continuing our efforts to recover from the impact that Hurricane Irma had on our business and South Florida in general. Cost of goods sold during the three month period ended June 30, 2019, was $78,790 compared to $56,954 during the same period. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 48.5% and 43.2% for the periods ended June 30, 2019, and 2018, respectively. We are not as efficient in terms of cost of sales at lower revenue levels. We expect our cost of sales as a percentage of sales to be reduced as sales levels increase, of which there is no assurance. 6 Operating expenses Operating expense increased during this period, to $191,921 in the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $146,79 during the same period in 2018, an increase of $53,422. The increase is attributable to an increase in payroll, rent and G&A expenses offset by a reduction in consulting and professional fees. Other income and expense Other expense was $26,004 during the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $50,657 during the same period in 2018. The decrease is attributable to less borrowing on convertible notes issued in the 2019 period compared to 2018. Since these notes have been issued at a discount there is a beneficial conversion period requiring immediate expensing of discount which is charged to interest expense. So at lower levels of borrowing, there is less discount and interest expense. See Note 7. Convertible Notes. Net Loss During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we incurred a net loss attributable to Kisses from Italy Inc. of ($138,909) or $0.00 per share and a net loss attributable to non-controlling interests of ($3,377); compared to net losses of ($113,903) or $0.00 per share and a $(8,481) a net loss attributable to non-controlling interests; respectively, for the same three-month period in 2018. Liquidity and Capital Resources At June 30, 2019, we had $ 10,422 in cash and cash equivalents. Net cash used in operating activities was $175,616 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, compared to $97,735 during the six months ended June 30, 2018. This increase in the cash used in the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the similar period in 2018 was primarily attributable to our increased operating loss in 2019 over 2018 levels of $ 98,821 offset by an increase in accounts payable of $29,127. Cash flows used in investing activities were $4,299 during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $0 in 2018 due to the purchase of equipment in the 2019 period. Net cash provided by financing activities was $167,458 for the period ended June 30, 2019, compared to 111,636 during the same period in June 30, 2018. The increase is attributable to proceeds from convertible notes we received in 2019 of $15,151 and a reduction in net repayments on loan balances of $40,671. The amount of capital we raise will vary from period to period based on the effectiveness of our fundraising efforts. Our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, were prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve-month period following the date of these financial statements. We have incurred annual losses since inception and expect we may incur additional losses in future periods. We have one asset-based line of credit for $9,301 with one lender. The amount of credit available to be accessed is dependent on the amount of documented credit receipts received by our restaurants. The due dates on these credit advances are typically between 90 and 180 days. The interest rates on these facilities are approximately 31 to 38% respectively, plus additional processing fees of approximately 5%. As of the date of this Report, the balance on the asset-based line was $4,066. 7 In order to continue our business development, including opening additional company-owned restaurants and continuing to develop and enhance the marketing of our franchise concept, we estimate we will need approximately $1 million in additional capital. We believe we can open at least 2 additional locations for approximately $300,000. We intend to use the balance of the funds to either open additional locations or use the balance of the funds on franchise marketing. We believe that by continuing to open company-owned restaurants we can use these locations to market other locations. We can provide no assurance that additional funding will be available on a timely basis, on terms acceptable to us, or at all. While we have had discussions with potential investors and investment bankers, we have no agreement with any third party to provide us this additional financing and there can be no assurances that we will obtain this financing, either debt or equity or both, on favorable terms, or at all. Our inability to receive this financing may have a significant negative impact on our continued development and results of our operations. In April 2018, we commenced a private offering of convertible debentures (the “Debentures”) to non-residents of the US. These Debentures accrue interest at the rate of 8% per annum and are convertible into shares of our Common Stock beginning upon issuance until such time as our Common Stock is approved for trading, of which there is no assurance, at a conversion rate of $0.0667 per share. Interest is payable annually, on or before February 15 of each year. Each Debenture matures 3 years after the issuance date. As of the date hereof, an aggregate of $441,450 in Debentures have been issued. None have been converted. These funds have been used primarily to cover our operating losses. We have arranged for our application to trade our Common Stock to be filed with FINRA on our behalf but there are no assurances the application will be successful. Our management recently began scouting locations throughout the different regions of Italy and have found what they consider to be interesting locations with great potential in the regions of Rome and further south in the region of Puglia. We have deemed these locations as opportunities for additional corporate-owned and franchise program expansion. However, there are no agreements in place as of the date of this Report to open any new facilities, either Company-owned or franchises and no assurances can be provided that we will expand our operations accordingly. Inflation Although our operations are influenced by general economic conditions, we do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our results of operations during the six-month period ended June 30, 2019. Critical Accounting Estimates The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The following represents a summary of our critical accounting policies, defined as those policies that we believe are the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.

We are a smaller reporting company and are not required to provide the information under this item pursuant to Regulation S-K. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. Disclosure Controls and Procedures – Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. These controls are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2019, at a reasonable assurance level. We believe that our financial statements presented in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q fairly presents, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for all periods presented herein. Inherent Limitations – Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well-conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. 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. 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, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdown can occur because of simple error or mistake. In particular, many of our current processes rely upon manual reviews and processes to ensure that neither human error nor system weakness has resulted in erroneous reporting of financial data. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting – There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the six month period ended June 30, 2019, which were identified in conjunction with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 9 PART II.
