Since the Company has not yet fully completed its review, the estimates regarding the impact set forth above are preliminary and remain subject to change.
In connection with the restatement, management has determined that a material weakness related to the accounting for financing transactions in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting existed for the periods from March 31, 2017 through December 31, 2018. The Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2017 through December 31, 2018, and the Company’s management has concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2018.
The Company anticipates that it will file amended Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2018, June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2018, to amend and restate its financial condition and financial results for the affected periods as soon as practicable.
