Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Companys financial statements for external purposes in accordance with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
In evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (Office of the CEO) also our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our CEO as well as our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective, at the reasonable assurance level, containing material weaknesses in internal controls as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Office of the CEO and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure due to the Companys limited internal resources and lack of ability to have multiple levels of review and Lack of internal control environment and lack of formal documentation of internal control policies Also due to limited resources available to have additional staff to our accounting office there is inadequate segregation of duties. This lack of capital and consequential lack of staff has resulted in insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines.
(b) Management's report on internal control over financial reporting.
Our Chief Executive Officer as well as our Chief Financial Officer, I. Andrew Weeraratne, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Mr. Weeraratne has assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this

report based on the criteria for effective internal control described Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment Mr. Weeraratne has concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's internal control over financial reporting is not effective due to insufficient written policies and procedures and inadequate segregation of duties and lack of multiple levels of reviews and effective risk assessment, as to timely identify, correct and disclose information required to be included on our Securities and Exchange Commission reports due to the Companys limited internal resources and lack of ability to have multiple levels of transaction review and segregate duties Due to our limited activities where all cash disbursements can be easily accounted and due to the quarterly review process with our auditors, management believes that the financial statements and other information presented herewith are materially correct.
(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act) during the quarter ended December 31, 2017, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
