−Removed: Controls and Procedures Evaluation
−Removed: of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
−Removed: The term "disclosure
−Removed: controls and procedures,"
−Removed: as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, refers to controls
−Removed: and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files
−Removed: or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's
−Removed: rules and forms.
−Removed: Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure
−Removed: that such information is accumulated and communicated to a company's management, including its principal executive and principal
−Removed: financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
−Removed: In designing and
−Removed: evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how
−Removed: well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls
−Removed: and procedures are met.
−Removed: Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required
−Removed: to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures.
−Removed: The design of
−Removed: any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no
−Removed: assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions;
−Removed: over time, controls
−Removed: may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.
−Removed: Because of the inherent limitations in a control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
−Removed: Based on the evaluation
−Removed: of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2020, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have
−Removed: concluded that, as of June 30, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance
−Removed: level as a result of the material weaknesses discussed below.
−Removed: Notwithstanding these material weaknesses, our Chief Executive Officer
−Removed: and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K
−Removed: present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally
−Removed: accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.
