Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of VolitionRx Limited should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 13, 2019. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using 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. Accordingly, since they are interim statements, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

Except as detailed below, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates

The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2019 include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries Singapore Volition Pte. Limited (“Singapore Volition”), Belgian Volition SPRL (“Belgian Volition”), Volition Diagnostics UK Limited (“Volition Diagnostics”), Volition America Inc. (“Volition America”), as well as its majority-owned subsidiary Volition Veterinary Diagnostics Development, LLC (“Volition Vet”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  Except as otherwise indicated by the context, references to the “Company,” “we” and “our” are references to VolitionRx Limited and its subsidiaries.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purposes of the statements of cash flows, we consider interest bearing deposits with original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company invests excess cash from its operating cash accounts in overnight investments and reflects these amounts in cash and cash equivalents in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. At September 30, 2019, cash and cash equivalents totaled approximately $19.7 million, of which $13.1 million was held in an overnight money market account.

Accounts Receivables

Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. Due to the nature of the accounts receivable balance, the Company believes the risk of doubtful accounts is minimal and therefore no allowance is recorded. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required.  The Company may provide for estimated uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance. Balances that remain outstanding after the Company has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. At September 30, 2019, the accounts receivable balance was $16,031.

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Revenue Recognition

Beginning in 2014, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued several Accounting Standards Updates establishing Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”).  ASC 606 replaces most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP with a new principles-based, five-step revenue recognition model.  The Company adopted ASC 606 effective January 1, 2019. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenues when the customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company  recognizes revenues following the five-step model prescribed under ASC 606: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation(s).

The Company generates revenue from its license agreement with Active Motif, Inc. (“Active Motif”) for the sale of Research Use Only kits from which the Company receives royalties. In addition, revenue is received from external third parties for services the Company performs for them in its laboratory.

Revenues, and their respective treatment for financial reporting purposes under ASC 606, are as follows:

Royalty

The Company receives royalty revenues on the net sales recognized during the period in which the revenue is earned, and the amount is determinable from the licensee. These are presented in “Royalty” in the consolidated statements of income. The Company does not have future performance obligations under this revenue stream. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company records these revenues based on estimates of the net sales that occurred during the relevant period from the licensee. The relevant period estimates of these royalties are based on preliminary gross sales data provided by Active Motif and analysis of historical gross-to-net adjustments. Differences between actual and estimated royalty revenues are adjusted for in the period in which they become known.

Services

The Company includes revenue recognized from laboratory services performed in the Company’s laboratory on behalf of third parties in “Service” in the consolidated statements of income.

For each development and/or commercialization agreement that results in revenue, the Company identifies all performance obligations, aside from those that are immaterial, which may include a license to intellectual property and know-how, development activities and/or transition activities. In order to determine the transaction price, in addition to any upfront payment, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration at the outset of the contract either utilizing the expected value or most likely amount method, depending on the facts and circumstances relative to the contract. The Company constrains (reduces) the estimates of variable consideration such that it is probable that a significant reversal of previously recognized revenue will not occur throughout the life of the contract. When determining if variable consideration should be constrained, management considers whether there are factors outside the Company’s control that could result in a significant reversal of revenue. In making these assessments, the Company considers the likelihood and magnitude of a potential reversal of revenue. These estimates are re-assessed each reporting period as required.

Leases

In February of 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 – Leases (“Topic 842”), which significantly amends the way companies are required to account for leases. Under the updated leasing guidance, some leases that did not have to be reported previously are now required to be presented as an asset and liability on the balance sheet. In addition, for certain leases, what was previously classified as an operating expense must now be allocated between amortization expense and interest expense. The Company adopted Topic 842 as of January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition method and prior periods have not been restated. Upon implementation, the Company recognized an initial operating lease right-of-use asset of $110,630 and operating lease liability of $110,630. Due to the simplistic nature of the Company's leases, no retained earnings adjustment was required. See Note 8(b) for further details.

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260, “Earnings Per Share,” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. As of September 30, 2019, 4,407,860 potential common shares equivalents from warrants and options were excluded from the diluted EPS calculations as their effect is anti-dilutive.

Reclassification

Certain amounts presented in previously issued financial statements have been reclassified to be consistent with the current period presentation. In the statement of operations and comprehensive loss, the Company has reclassified the prior year comparative amounts of research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses to be consistent with the current year classification.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has implemented the new applicable accounting pronouncements that are in effect listed above. The Company does not believe that there are any other new applicable accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Note 2 – Going Concern

The future of the Company as an operating business will depend on its ability to obtain sufficient capital contributions, financing and/or generate revenues as may be required to sustain its operations. Management plans to address the above as needed by (a) securing additional grant funds, (b) obtaining additional financing through debt or equity transactions, (c) granting licenses to third parties in exchange for specified up-front and/or back-end payments and (d) developing and commercializing its products on an accelerated timeline. Management continues to exercise tight cost controls to conserve cash.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

The Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets to ensure that their carrying value does not exceed their fair market value. The Company carried out such a review in accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment” as of December 31, 2018. The result of this review confirmed that the ongoing value of the patents was not impaired as of December 31, 2018.

Note 7 – Warrants and Options

The following table summarizes the changes in warrants outstanding of the Company during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019:

Effective March 5, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment to an outstanding warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 5.0 million shares of our common stock, originally issued to Cotterford Company Limited, a significant stockholder, in connection with an equity financing completed on or about August 10, 2018.  The amendment temporarily reduced the exercise price of such warrant from $3.00 per share to $2.90 per share through the close of business on March 8, 2019. As a result of this amendment, $196,957 of financing costs were recorded in other expenses.

On July 1, 2019, the Company modified the performance criteria for certain vesting milestones on an employee warrant agreement and as a result the Company re-measured warrants held by the employee, to purchase 125,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.47 per share, resulting in $11,829 of additional warrant expense to be recorded over the vesting period. These warrants vest on achievement of certain business objectives and expire 3 years from the date of vesting.

On July 24, 2019, Cotterford Company Limited exercised the remainder of its warrant and purchased 1,609,195 shares of our common stock at $3.00 per share resulting in gross proceeds of $4.8 million to the Company.

Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies

In 2015, the Company entered into an equipment finance lease to purchase three Tecan machines (automated liquid handling robots) for €550,454 Euros, maturing May 2020. As of September 30, 2019, the balance payable was $65,345.

In 2016, the Company entered into a real estate finance lease with ING Asset Finance Belgium S.A. (“ING”) to purchase a property located in Belgium for €1.12 million Euros, maturing May 2031. As of September 30, 2019, the balance payable was $633,861.

In 2018, the Company entered into a finance lease with BNP Paribas leasing solutions to purchase a freezer for the Belgium facility for €25,000 Euros, maturing January 2022. The leased equipment is amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 years. As of September 30, 2019, the balance payable was $21,217.

The following is a schedule showing the future minimum lease payments under finance leases by years and the present value of the minimum payments as of September 30, 2019.

b)Operating Lease Right-of-Use Obligations 

The Company adopted Topic 842 on January 1, 2019. The Company elected to adopt this standard using the optional modified retrospective transition method and recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment to the condensed consolidated balance sheet on the date of adoption. Prior periods have not been restated. With the adoption of Topic 842, the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet now contains the following line items: Operating lease right-of-use assets, Current portion of operating lease liabilities and Operating lease liabilities, net of current portion.

As all the existing leases subject to the new lease standard were previously classified as operating leases by the Company, they were similarly classified as operating leases under the new standard. The Company has determined that the identified operating leases did not contain non-lease components and require no further allocation of the total lease cost. Additionally, the agreements in place did not contain information to determine the rate implicit in the leases, so we used our incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. Our weighted average discount rate is 4.44% and the weighted average remaining lease term is 21 months.

As of September 30, 2019, operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities arising from operating leases were $193,918 and $196,451, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, cash paid for amounts included for the measurement of lease liabilities was $53,393 and the Company recorded operating lease expense of $48,393.

The following is a schedule showing the future minimum lease payments under operating leases by years and the present value of the minimum payments as of September 30, 2019.

Company Overview

VolitionRx is a multi-national life sciences company that applies its Nucleosomics^TM platform through its subsidiaries to develop and bring to market simple, easy to use, cost-effective blood tests designed to help diagnose a range of cancers and other diseases. We hope that through earlier diagnosis we can help save and improve the quality of many people’s lives throughout the world.

Our tests are based mainly on the science of Nucleosomics, which is the practice of identifying and measuring nucleosomes in the bloodstream or other bodily fluid - since changes in these parameters are an indication that disease is present. We are developing a novel suite of blood assays for epigenetically-altered circulating nucleosomes as biomarkers in cancer and other diseases. Nu.Q^TM products are simple, low-cost, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, or ELISA, platform tests and can incorporate other biomarkers such as anti-inflammatory markers and/or off patent, low cost ELISA tests in our panels (e.g. CEA, PSA, and CA125) for higher accuracy. We have successfully used our technology platform to develop Research Use Only kits that are being sold through our licensee, Active Motif, Inc., and offer laboratory analytical services to other scientific institutions. We are at the early stages of revenue for these services.

Our diagnostic target in the blood includes the same tumor chromosome fragment as targeted by ctDNA tests, but our approach is to test for chromosome protein and nucleic acid changes in intact chromosome fragments by ELISA, rather than chemically extracting, amplifying, and sequencing the circulating tumor DNA, or ctDNA, and discarding the rest of the nucleosome. ELISA is possible because the targets of our tests occur globally across all nucleosomes within a tumor cell, whereas individual ctDNA changes must be identified within the three billion base-pair genomes. This means that the targets of our tests are exponentially more prevalent in circulating blood, and detectable using simple laboratory methods.

We are developing blood-based tests for the most prevalent cancers focusing on colorectal cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer and pancreatic cancer, using our Nucleosomics biomarker discovery platform. Our development pipeline includes assays to be used for symptomatic patients, asymptomatic (screening) patients and high-risk populations. The platform employs a range of simple Nu.Q immunoassays on industry standard ELISA formats, which allows more rapid quantification of epigenetic changes in biofluids (whole blood, plasma, serum, sputum, urine, etc.) than afforded by other approaches such as bisulfite conversion and polymerase chain reaction. We are researching the use of our assays across multiple platforms worldwide.

We believe that given the global prevalence of cancer and the low cost, accessible routine nature of our tests, Nu.Q will eventually be used throughout the world. Our launch sequence is determined to a large extent by regulatory hurdles - consequently, we aim to launch in Europe and Asia, and subsequently in the United States. We plan to work with partners and/or distributors to commercialize Nu.Q worldwide. Additionally, we are working on complete Nucleosome analysis (Nu.Q Capture). The goal of this project is to investigate ways to specifically target ctDNA. The ability to enrich for ctDNA will allow us to use mass spectrometry to analyze histone and DNA modifications and moreover to sequence the DNA present around the nucleosomes. This extremely valuable information might enable cancer diagnosis to identify the tissue of origin of that given cancer.

In addition to human diagnostics we are also researching the use of the Nu.Q technology in veterinary applications.  An initial proof of concept study demonstrated that nucleosomes can be detected in dogs and, therefore, the potential to differentiate cancer from other diseases. We will now test Nu.Q Vet in larger trials in veterinary medicine. Our extensive intellectual property portfolio includes coverage of veterinary medicine applications.

The U.S. is currently the largest veterinary market in the world and has a clearly defined regulatory pathway via the USDA, requiring fewer and smaller clinical studies than the FDA process for human diagnostics.  This generally allows a much faster route to revenue for veterinary products as compared to human products.

Overview of Plan of Operations

We have identified the specific processes and resources required to achieve the near and medium-term objectives of our business plan, including personnel, facilities, equipment, research and testing materials including antibodies and clinical samples, and the protection of intellectual property. To date, operations have proceeded satisfactorily in relation to our business plan. However, it is possible that some resources will not readily become available in a suitable form or on a timely basis or at an acceptable cost. It is also possible that the results of some processes may not be as expected, and that modifications of procedures and materials may be required. Such events could result in delays to the achievement of the near and medium-term objectives of our business plan, in particular the progression of clinical validation studies and regulatory approval processes for the purpose of bringing products to the IVD and veterinary markets.

Our future as an operating business will depend on our ability to obtain sufficient capital contributions, financing and/or generate revenues as may be required to sustain our operations.  Management plans to address the above as needed by: (a) securing additional grant funds; (b) obtaining additional equity or debt financing; (c) granting licenses to third parties in exchange for specified up-front and/or back-end payments; and (d) developing and commercializing our products on an accelerated timeline. Management continues to exercise tight cost controls to conserve cash.

22

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our accomplishment of the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually to attain profitable operations. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital, we could be forced to cease operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have financed our operations since inception primarily through private placements and public offerings of our common stock. As of September 30, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $19.7 million.

Net cash used in operating activities was $10.1 million and $11.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively. The decrease in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to decreased expenditures on research and development and general and administrative activities.

Net cash used in investing activities was $0.4 million and $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively. The increase was primarily due to investment in software and laboratory equipment.

The following table summarizes our approximate contractual payments due by year as of September 30, 2019.

Approximate Payments (Including Interest) Due by Year

We intend to use our cash reserves to predominantly fund further research and development activities. We do not currently have any substantial source of revenues and expect to rely on additional future financing, through the sale of equity or debt securities, or the sale of licensing rights, to provide sufficient funding to execute our strategic plan. There is no assurance that we will be successful in raising further funds.

In the event that additional financing is delayed, we will prioritize the maintenance of our research and development personnel and facilities, primarily in Belgium, and the maintenance of our patent rights. In such instance, the completion of clinical validation studies and regulatory approval processes for the purpose of bringing products to the IVD and veterinary market would be delayed. In the event of an ongoing lack of financing, it may be necessary to discontinue operations, which will adversely affect the value of our common stock.

We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive activities. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report on our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 an explanatory paragraph regarding factors that raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018

The following table sets forth our results of operations for the three months ended on September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively:

Revenues

Our operations are still predominantly in the research and development stage and we had limited revenues of $17,096 and $nil during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses decreased to $4.2 million from $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively, as a result of the factors described below.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses decreased to $2.6 million from $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively. This was primarily due to less work undertaken with our collaboration partners, partially offset by increased laboratory costs and personnel costs.

24

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased to $1.4 million from $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively. This was primarily due to lower stock-based compensation costs and legal and professional fees, partially offset by higher foreign exchange costs.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses decreased to $195,641 from $259,302 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively. This decrease was primarily related to lower salary costs during the period.

Other Expenses

The Company’s other expenses decreased to $4,658 compared to $29,108 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively. This decrease was primarily due to interest income received from cash on an overnight money market account deposit, partially offset by additional interest expense on long-term debt.

Net Loss

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company’s net loss was $4.2 million, a decrease of approximately $0.3 million, or 7%, in comparison to a net loss of $4.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The change was a result of the factors described above.

25

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018

The following table sets forth our results of operations for the nine months ended on September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively:

Revenues

Our operations are still predominantly in the research and development stage and we had limited revenues of $17,096 and $nil during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses decreased to $12.3 million from $13.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively as a result of the factors described below.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses decreased to $7.6 million from $7.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively. This decrease was primarily due to less work undertaken with our collaboration partners, partially offset by increased laboratory costs and sample costs.

26

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased to $4.0 million from $4.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively. This decrease was primarily due to lower stock–based compensation charges and reduced legal fees as a result of decreased external capital raising activities in 2019.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses decreased to $718,047 from $845,253 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively. This decrease was primarily due to decreased marketing and professional fees and as well as reduced salary expenditures during the period.

Other Expenses

The Company’s other expenses increased to $223,808 from $78,646 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively. This increase was primarily due the exercise of warrants to purchase approximately 1.7 million shares of our common stock by Cotterford Company Limited during the 2019 period at an amended price of $2.90 which resulted in a $196,957 expense, partially offset by interest income received from cash deposited in an overnight money market account.

Net Loss

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company’s net loss was $12.5 million, a decrease of approximately $1.2 million, or 9%, in comparison to a net loss of $13.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The change was a result of the factors described above.

Going Concern

We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining external financing to continue to pursue our operational and strategic plans. For these reasons, management has determined that there is substantial doubt that the business will be able to continue as a going concern without further financing.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

27

Future Financings

We may seek to obtain additional capital through the sale of debt or equity securities, if we deem it desirable or necessary. However, we may be unable to obtain such additional capital when needed, or on terms favorable to us or our stockholders, if at all. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be reduced, stockholders may experience additional dilution, or such equity securities may provide for rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of debt securities, the terms of such securities may place restrictions on our ability to operate our business.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements.  A complete summary of these policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has implemented all applicable new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. The Company does not believe that there are any other applicable new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive and Principal Financial Officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded, as they previously concluded as of December 31, 2018, that our disclosure controls and procedures continue to not be effective as of September 30, 2019, because of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, as described below and in detail in our Annual Report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors meets regularly with our financial management, and with the independent registered public accounting firm engaged by us. Internal accounting controls and the quality of financial reporting are discussed during these meetings. The Audit Committee has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm matters required to be discussed by the auditing standards adopted or established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”). In addition, the Audit Committee and the independent registered public accounting firm have discussed the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence from the Company and its management, including the matters in the written disclosures required by PCAOB Rule 3526 “Communicating with Audit Committees Concerning Independence.”

28

As of September 30, 2019, we did not maintain sufficient internal controls over financial reporting due to insufficient:

segregation of duties in some areas of Finance; 

oversight in the area of Information Technology, where certain processes may affect the internal controls over financial reporting; and 

monitoring of review controls with respect to accounting for complex transactions. 

We have developed, and are currently implementing, a remediation plan for these material weaknesses. Specifically, we have identified and selected a system for financial reporting that will allow further automation of the reporting process, thereby strengthening the control environment over financial reporting.

As we continue to evaluate and work to enhance our internal controls over financial reporting, we may determine that additional measures should be taken to address these or other control deficiencies, and/or that we should modify our remediation plan.

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2019, other than those described above, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Limitations of the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls

Our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls 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. 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 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 the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.

The design of any system of controls is also 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 our stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
