EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Laser Photonics Corporation (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024, as filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 29, 2024 (the “Original Filing”) and amended on September 12, 2024 (“Amendment No. 1”), to amend its financial statements in response to a comment letter from the SEC dated September 4, 2024, to adopt the accounting treatment in its Original Filing in which the Company treated certain sales and marketing costs paid by the Company to an affiliate, Fonon Corporation, as equity distributions to an affiliate rather than as G&A expenses as set forth in Amendment No. 1. Our current independent registered accounting firm, M&K CPAS, PLLC, has now agreed, following certain information provided to them by the Company, with the treatment of such expenses being equity distributions to an affiliate rather than G&A expenses as was the position taken by our prior independent registered accounting firm., Fruci & Associates II, LLC, in our annual report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and the Original Filing. In addition, the Company has updated the certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2), as required under Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 –BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements and notes of Laser Photonics Corporation (the “Company”) are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, those do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, notes and significant accounting policies included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company has not earned sufficient revenue since inception and has sustained operating losses during the year ended December 31, 2023, and through June 30, 2024. The Company had positive working capital as of June 30, 2024. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate additional cash flows from operations to meet its obligations and/or obtaining additional financing from its members or other sources, as may be required. These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within the twelve-month period subsequent to the date that these financial statements are issued.

 

Restatement of Q2 2023.

 

Q2 2023 was unaudited and as we were preparing our Q2 2024 filing we noticed the balances in our ledger did not match what was filed. Our system of record current financials is the basis for the financials as they are presented, not the prior Q2 2023 filing.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES & USE OF ESTIMATES.

 

Our significant accounting policies are provided in “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our Financial Statements 2023 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies from those disclosed in our 2023 Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based payments in accordance with the provision of ASC 718, which requires that all share-based payments issued to acquire goods or services, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values, net of estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Compensation expenses related to share-based awards is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.

 

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 and disclosure of contingent liabilities at dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In the opinion of management, our financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary by management to fairly state the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Under Topic 606, an entity recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of Topic 606, the entity performs the following five steps: (i) identify the 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 revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of Topic 606, we assess the goods or services promised within each contract and determine those that are performance obligations and assess whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

Revenue is then recognized for the transaction price allocated to each respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. For our products, revenue is generally recognized upon shipment or pickup by the customer. At this stage, the title on the manufactured equipment is transferred to the customer, and the customer is responsible for transportation expenses, insurance, and any transport-related damage to the equipment in transit. We do not hold any obligation to deliver beyond the collection warehouse, and it is the customers’ contractual responsibility to ensure their goods reach their destination.

Table of Contents

 

Refunds and returns, which are minimal, are recorded as a reduction of revenue. Payments received from customers before satisfying the above criteria are recorded as unearned income on the combined balance sheets.

 

Payments received as deposits for specific purchase orders or future laser equipment sales to customers are recognized as customer deposits and included in liabilities on the balance sheet. Customer deposits are recognized as revenue when control over the ordered equipment is transferred to the customer.

 

All revenues are reported in net of any sales discounts or taxes.

 

Other Revenue Recognition Matters related to Distributors.

 

Distributors generally have no right to return unsold equipment. However, in limited circumstances, if the company determines that distributor stock is morally aging beyond the company’s new model releases, it may accept returns and provide the distributor with credit against their trading account at the company’s discretion under its warranty policy. This revenue is recognized on a consignment basis and transfer of control is when an item is sold to end customer at which time the company recognizes revenue.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at a cost, which approximates fair value. The company has $2,539,472 in flexible CD account with Bank of America. The terms on this CD if flexible, having a term of 9 months that automatically renews, Full balance and interest can be withdrawn prior to maturity. A penalty of 7 days interest will be imposed for early withdrawals within the first 6 days of the account term.

 

Current Liabilities

 

Accounts Payable

 

Accounts payable consist of short-term liability to our vendors and sub-contractors, who extend credit terms to the Company or deliver goods or services with delayed payment terms. As of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, our accounts payable were recorded at $198,236 and $223,040, respectively.

 

Deferred Revenue

 

Deferred Revenue is primarily comprised of products that have been made available to key distributors that have not been sold. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $ 116,564, and December 31, 2023, the Company’s deferred revenue liabilities were recorded $213,114.

 

As of June 30, 2024, there were no loan balances owed by the Company.

Net Earnings/Loss per Share

 

Basic Earnings/Loss per share is calculated by dividing the Earnings/Loss attributable to stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted Earnings/Loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that shared in the earnings (loss) of the Company. Diluted Earnings/Loss per share is computed by dividing the Earnings/Loss available to stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period and dilutive potential shares outstanding unless such dilutive potential shares would result in anti-dilution.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Trade accounts receivable is recorded net of allowance for expected uncollectible accounts. The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business and performs on-going credit evaluations of its customers. All accounts, or portions thereof, that are deemed uncollectible are written off to bad debt expense, as incurred. In addition, most sales orders are not accepted without a substantial deposit. As of June 30, 2024, the balance of collectible accounts was $446,016. There is no Allowance of Bad Debt considered as of June 30, 2024.

 

Inventory

 

Inventories are stated at a lower cost or net realizable value using the first-in first-out (FIFO) method. The Company has four principal categories of inventory:

 

Sales demonstration inventory - Sales demonstration inventory represents completed product used to support our sales force for demonstrations and held for sale. Sales demonstration inventory is held in our demo facilities or by our sales representatives for up to three years, at which time it would be refurbished and transferred to finished goods as used equipment, stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company expects these refurbished units to remain in finished goods inventory and sold within 12 months at prices that produce reduced gross margins.

 

Equipment parts inventory - This inventory represents components and raw materials that are currently in the process of being converted to a certifiable lot of saleable products through the manufacturing and/or equipment assembly process. Inventories include parts and components that may be specialized in nature and subject to rapid obsolescence. The Company periodically reviews the quantities and carrying values of inventories to assess whether the inventories are recoverable. Because of the Company’s vertical integration, a significant or sudden decrease in sales activity could result in a significant change in the estimates of excess or obsolete inventory valuation. The costs associated with provisions for excess quantities, technological obsolescence, or component rejections are charged to cost of sales as incurred.

 

Work in process inventory - Work in process inventory consists of inventory that is partially manufactured or not fully assembled as of the date of these financial statements. This equipment, machines, parts, frames, lasers and assemblies are items not ready for use or resale. Costs are accumulated as work in process until sales ready items are compete when it is moved to finished goods inventory. The amounts in this account represent items at various stages of completion at the date of these financial statements.

 

Finished goods inventory - Finished goods inventory consists of purchased inventory that was fully manufactured, assembled or in salable condition. Finished goods inventory is comprised of items that are complete and ready for commercial application without further cost other that delivery and setup.

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets consist primarily of capitalized equipment design documentation, software costs for equipment manufactured for sale, as well as certain patent, trademark and license costs. Capitalized software and equipment design documentation development costs are recorded in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 985 “Software” with costs amortized using the straight-line method over a ten-year period. Patent, trademark and license costs are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 15 years. On an ongoing basis, management reviews the valuation of intangible assets to determine if there has been impairment by comparing the related assets’ carrying value to the undiscounted estimated future cash flows and/or operating income from related operations.

 

The Company employs various core technologies across many different product families and applications in an effort to maximize the impact of our research and development costs and increase economies of scale and to leverage its technology-specific expertise across multiple product platforms. The technologies inherent in its laser equipment products include application documentation, proprietary and custom software developed for operation of its equipment, specific knowledge of supply chain and, mostly important, equipment design documentation, consisting of 3D engineering drawings, bills of materials, wiring diagrams, parts AutoCad drawings, software architecture documentation, etc. Intangible assets were received from a related party, ICT Investments, and therefore transferred and booked by Laser Photonics Corp. at their historical cost.

Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment is measured by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from use of the assets and their ultimate disposition. In instances where impairment is determined to exist, the Company will write down the asset to its fair value based on the present value of estimated future cash flows.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and the notes to those financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Report.

 

Certain statements in this Report constitute forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include statements, which involve risks and uncertainties, regarding, among other things, (a) our projected sales, profitability, and cash flows, (b) our growth strategy, (c) anticipated trends in our industry, (d) our future financing plans, and (e) our anticipated needs for, and use of, working capital. They are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “potential,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expects,” “management believes,” “we believe,” “we intend,” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this filing will in fact occur. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

 

The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and, except to the extent required by federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

 

The “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our,” are references to the business of Laser Photonics Corporation, a Wyoming corporation.

 

Overview

 

We are a vertically integrated manufacturing Company for photonics based industrial products and solutions, primarily disruptive laser cleaning technologies. Our vertically integrated operations allow us to reduce development and advanced laser equipment manufacturing time, offer better prices, control quality and protect our proprietary knowhow and technology compared to other laser cleaning companies and companies with competing technologies.

 

Our principal executive offices are located at 1101 N Keller Rd, Orlando FL, 32810, and our telephone number is (407) 804 1000. Our website address is www.laserphotonics.com. The Company’s annual reports, quarterly reports, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to such reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), and other information related to the Company, are available, free of charge, on that website as soon as we electronically file those documents with, or otherwise furnish them to, the SEC. The Company’s website and the information contained therein, or connected thereto, are not and are not intended to be incorporated into this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

We intend to continue to stay ahead of the technology curve by researching and developing cutting edge products and technologies for both large and small businesses. We view the small companies as an attractive market opportunity since they were previously unable to take advantage of laser processing equipment due to high prices, significant operating costs and the technical complexities of the laser equipment. As a result, we are developing an array of laser cleaning equipment that we have named the CleanTech™ product line, which we believe represents a new generation of high-power laser cleaning systems applicable to numerous material processing operations.

 

Factors and Trends That Affect Our Operations and Financial Results

 

In reading our financial statements, you should be aware of the following factors and trends that our management believes are important in understanding our financial performance.

 

Supply Chain. We are experiencing increased lead times for certain parts and components purchased from third party suppliers; particularly electronic components. We, our customers and our suppliers continue to face constraints related to supply chain and logistics, including availability of capacity, materials, air cargo space, sea containers and higher freight rates and import duties. Supply chain and logistics constraints are expected to continue for the foreseeable future and could impact our ability to supply products and our customers’ demand for our product or readiness to accept deliveries. Notwithstanding these effects, we believe we have the ability to meet the near-term demand for our products, but the situation is fluid and subject to change.

 

Net sales. Our net sales have historically fluctuated from quarter to quarter. The increase or decrease in sales from the previous quarter can be affected by the timing of orders received from customers, the shipment, installation and acceptance of products at our customers’ facilities. Net sales can be affected by the time taken to qualify our products for use in new applications in the end markets that we serve. Our sales cycle varies substantially, ranging from a period of a few weeks to as long as one year or more, but is typically several months. The adoption of our products by a new customer or qualification in a new application can lead to an increase in net sales for a period, which may then slow until we penetrate new markets or obtain new customers.

 

 

Our business depends substantially upon capital expenditures by end users, particularly by manufacturers using our products for materials processing, which includes general manufacturing, automotive including electric vehicles (EV), other transportation, aerospace, heavy industry, consumer, semiconductor and electronics. Approximately 92% of our revenues for first quarter of 2022 and 91% of our revenues for the full 2021 fiscal year were from customers using our products for materials processing. Although applications within materials processing are broad, the capital equipment market in general is cyclical and historically has experienced sudden and severe downturns. For the foreseeable future, our operations will continue to depend upon capital expenditures by end users of materials processing equipment and will be subject to the broader fluctuations of capital equipment spending.

 

Gross margin. Our total gross margin in any period can be significantly affected by several factors, including net sales, production volumes, competitive factors, product mix, and by other factors such as changes in foreign exchange rates relative to the U.S. Dollar. Many of these factors are not under our control. The following are examples of factors affecting gross margin:

 

● As our products mature, we can experience additional competition which tends to decrease average selling prices and affects gross margin.

 

● Our gross margin can be significantly affected by product mix. Within each of our product categories, the gross margin is generally higher for devices with greater average power. These higher power products often have better performance, more difficult specifications to attain and fewer competing products in the marketplace.

 

Selling and Marketing expenses. In the first quarter of 2024, we invested in Selling and Marketing costs in order to support continued growth in the Company. As the secular shift to laser blasting technology matures, our sales growth becomes more susceptible to the cyclical trends typical of capital equipment manufacturers. Accordingly, our future management of and investments in selling and marketing expenses will also be influenced by these trends, although we may still invest in selling and marketing functions to support sales sustainability even in economic down cycles.

 

Research and development expenses. We plan to continue to invest in research and development to improve our existing laser blasting technology and equipment and develop new products, systems and applications. We believe that these investments will sustain our position as a leader in the laser blasting industry and will support development of new products that can address new markets and growth opportunities. The amount of research and development expenses we incur may vary from period to period.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $2,747,633 in cash, $2,957,074 in current assets (without cash and cash equivalents) and $620,028 in current liabilities.

 

As a result, on June 30, 2024, the Company had 5,048,679 in total working capital, compared to $8,262,302 of total working capital on December 31, 2023.

 

We will have to meet all the financial disclosure and reporting requirements associated with being a publicly reporting Company. Our management will have to spend additional time on policies and procedures to make sure it is compliant with various regulatory requirements, especially that of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This additional corporate governance time required of management could limit the amount of time our management has to implement our business plan and may delay our anticipated growth plans.

 

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

 

 

Revenues

 

Revenue Recognition- Under Topic 606, an entity recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of Topic 606, the entity performs the following five steps: (i) identify the 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 revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. We only apply the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of Topic 606, we assess the goods or services promised within each contract and determine those that are performance obligations and assess whether each promised good or service is distinct. We then recognize as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. Refunds and returns, which are minimal, are recorded as a reduction of revenue. Payments received by customers prior to our satisfying the above criteria are recorded as unearned income in the combined balance sheets. All revenues were reported in net of any sales discounts or taxes.

 

Inventory — Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market value. Inventory includes parts and components that may be specialized in nature and subject to rapid obsolescence. We maintain a reserve for excess or obsolete inventory items. Inventories are written off and charged to the cost of goods sold when identified as excess or obsolete. If future sales differ from these forecasts, the valuation of excess and obsolete inventory may change, and additional inventory provisions may be required. Because of our vertical integration, a significant or sudden decrease in sales could result in a significant change in the estimates of excess or obsolete inventory valuation. On December 31, 2022, we recorded $101,698 in Inventory Obsolescence.

 

For the six months ending June 30, 2024, we recognized revenue of $1,366,426, as compared to $1,641,632 in revenue for the same period in 2023, a decrease of $275,206. The decrease is primarily due to the timing of orders expected to be booked in Q2 2024.

 

		Three Months Ended June 30,								Six Months Ended June 30,
		2024 (Unaudited)				2023 (Audited)				2024 (Unaudited)				2023 (Audited)
Revenue		$	623,435			$	965,440			$	1,366,426			$	1,641,632

 

For the six months ending June 30, 2024, our net income was $(1,479,965) as compared to $(1,936,499) in the same period of 2023.

 

We are entering into laser equipment sales agreements with customers for specific equipment based upon purchase orders and our standard terms and conditions of sale.

 

Under our customer contracts or/and purchase orders, we transfer title and risk of loss to the customer and recognize revenue upon shipment. Our customers do not have extended payment terms or rights of return under these contracts.

Summary Financial Information – Non-GAAP EBITDA

Other financial data:

Adjusted EBITDA(2)		$	(675,733	)		$	(577,947	)		$	(1,036,126	)		$	(1,752,415	)

 

In addition to providing financial measurements based on generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we provide the following additional financial metrics that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP (non-GAAP): EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for financial and operational decision making, for planning and forecasting purposes and to evaluate our financial performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures help us to identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of certain expenses that we exclude in the calculations of the non-GAAP financial measures.

 

 

Accordingly, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect our ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in the business and provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and prospects.

 

These non-GAAP financial measures do not replace the presentation of our GAAP financial results and should only be used as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations in the use of non-GAAP measures, because they do not include all the expenses that must be included under GAAP and because they involve the exercise of judgment concerning exclusions of items from the comparable non-GAAP financial measure. In addition, other companies may use other non-GAAP measures to evaluate their performance, or may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison.

 

(1)	EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management, lenders, and certain investors as a supplemental measure in the evaluation of some aspects of a corporation’s financial position and core operating performance. Investors sometimes use EBITDA, as it allows for some level of comparability of profitability trends between those businesses differing as to capital structure and capital intensity by removing the impacts of depreciation and amortization. EBITDA also does not include changes in major working capital items, such as receivables, inventory and payables, which can also indicate a significant need for, or source of, cash. Since decisions regarding capital investment and financing and changes in working capital components can have a significant impact on cash flow, EBITDA is not necessarily a good indicator of a business’s cash flows. We use EBITDA for evaluating the relative underlying performance of our core operations and for planning purposes. We calculate EBITDA by adjusting net income to exclude net interest expense, income tax expense or benefit, depreciation and amortization, thus the term “Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization” and the acronym “EBITDA.”
(2)	Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) as reported in our consolidated statements of income excluding the impact of (i) interest expense; (ii) income tax provision; (iii) depreciation and amortization; (iv) stock-based compensation expense; (v) accretion of debt discounts; (vi) other income - forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program loan; (vii) other financing costs; (viii) loss on extinguishment of debt; (ix) warrant inducement expense; (x) amortization of right-of-use assets; and (xi) change in fair value of derivative liabilities. Our Adjusted EBITDA measure eliminates potential differences in performance caused by variations in capital structures (affecting finance costs), tax positions, the cost and age of tangible assets (affecting relative depreciation expense) and the extent to which intangible assets are identifiable (affecting relative amortization expense). We also exclude certain one-time and non-cash costs. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies, and any such differences could be material.

 

We believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are helpful for investors to better understand our underlying business operations. The following table adjusts Net Income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three- and six-months ending June 30, 2024, and 2023.

Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting Company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).

 

We have not utilized any derivative financial instruments such as futures contracts, options and swaps, forward foreign exchange contracts or interest rate swaps and futures. We believe that adequate controls are in place to monitor any hedging activities. We do not have any borrowings and, consequently, we are not affected by changes in market interest rates. We do not currently have any sales or own assets and operate facilities in countries outside the United States and, consequently, we are not affected by foreign currency fluctuations or exchange rate changes. Overall, we believe that our exposure to interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate changes is not material to our financial condition or results of operations.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosures Control and Procedures
