PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Issuer’s Business, Products and Services

Company is a media production and distribution enterprise, involved in book publishing, feature film and video production, and distribution of feature films and videos through various media platforms and territories worldwide.

Wholly-owned subsidiaries are Medallion Releasing, Inc. (for handling non-Hannover House producer clients), and Bookworks, Inc., a special purpose entity utilized for book publishing activities, as well as to act as the corporate signatory for compliance purposes with the Screen Actors Guild. Both Medallion Releasing, Inc and Bookworks, Inc. are Arkansas domiciled corporations. Income and costs from these two subsidiaries are incorporated into the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Company publishes fiction and non-fiction books; Company’s media distribution includes the release of films to theatres, home video, digital streaming formats, television outlets and international licensors. Company is working with Vodwiz, Inc. (which has secured non-affiliate private funding) for the development and launch of a new digital streaming site to be named “MyFlix.” The business model for MyFlix is to consolidate feature films and television series programming owned by a wide range of studios and content owners, into a single destination digital streaming site.

The revenue model for MyFlix will be to pay third-party streaming and billing costs off the top and divide remaining revenues on a fifty-fifty basis between the program suppliers and with Vodwiz / MyFlix. Consumers visiting the MyFlix website (or accessing the service through mobile APPS or over-the-top devices such as Roku, AppleTV or hardware installed APPS) can purchase movies or TV episodes on a “per transaction basis” (ala Amazon) or alternatively, can open a monthly subscription with MyFlix for unlimited access to approximately half of the programming otherwise available for per-transaction access. As of the date of this filing, forty-three program suppliers, collectively representing over 12,000 titles, had agreed to participate in the MyFlix service, which would position the site as number two only to Amazon in terms of total programming.

The growth of digital streaming services – both as a general market trend and more recently as a preferred media for home access of entertainment products during the COVID-19 pandemic - has created both a boom and bust in the independent film sectors. Consumers are less likely now to purchase DVDs of unknown movies knowing that the same ten-dollar cost could cover a month’s subscription to a service such as Netflix with over 1,000 titles at any given time. As other studios scramble to open “studio specific” streaming services, Hannover House believes that the Vodwiz / MyFlix model is more like the successful Walmart retail strategy of offering a wider selection of programming at everyday low prices. Hannover House has an option to purchase Vodwiz, subject to the achievement of obtainable corporate benchmarks which include the filing of the Form 10 Registration and the resolution or dismissal of four foreign judgments for which the Company has meritorious defenses and legal strategies to oppose.

Hannover House, Inc. was originally incorporated in California in September, 1993 under the name of Truman Press, Inc., dba “Hannover House.” The company reincorporated Truman Press, Inc. in the State of Arkansas and operated the company privately until December, 2009 at which time a merger occurred with Wyoming-domiciled Target Development Group, Inc., formerly trading on the OTC Pinksheets under the ticker symbol TDGI. Truman Press, Inc., dba “Hannover House” became the effective surviving entity of the merger with Target Development Group, Inc., and in 2011, the company’s petition to the Financial Industry Regulatory Agency (FINRA) for an official corporate name change and ticker symbol change was approved after a lengthy analysis of the company’s history and activities. At that time, the company’s name was officially certified as “Hannover House, Inc.” and the trading ticker symbol was changed to “HHSE.” A similarly named entity (“Hannover House, Inc.”) was registered many years earlier (2005) in Arkansas, but immediately abandoned within less than thirty (30) days from initial registration, due to a change in the Arkansas film incentives program which no longer provided special benefits to Arkansas-based entities. The 2005 Arkansas filing does not now, nor ever has existed as an operating company. Efforts by the actual and operating Hannover House, Inc. (of Wyoming) to expunge the records of the abandoned Arkansas filing have not succeeded. However, there is substantial public record evidencing that Hannover House, Inc., is the operating, Wyoming corporation, and that no reasonable parties could possibly confuse the robust, publicly-traded Hannover House, Inc., with the similarly named, but non-operating entity abandoned as an Arkansas filing more than 15 years ago.

Hannover House, Inc. has released over four hundred titles to the USA Home Video markets since taking on video product distribution activities s in 2002. Some of the better known home video releases include: “TWELVE” from director Joel Schumacher - starring Curtis “50-Cent” Jackson, Zoe Kravitz, Emma Roberts and Kiefer Sutherland; “GRAND CHAMPION” - starring Bruce Willis, Julia Roberts and George Strait; “SAVAGE LAND” – starring Graham Greene, Corbin Bernsen, Vivian Schilling and Charlotte Ross; “TOYS IN THE ATTIC” – starring Forest Whitaker, Joan Cusack and Cary Elwes; and “BONOBOS: BACK TO THE WILD” – starring Luke Evans and Rebecca Hall.

Regarding book publishing, Hannover House has achieved best-seller status on both the fiction and non-fiction charts. The best-selling fiction title has been the suspense-thriller, “QUIETUS” by author Vivian Schilling (with over 100,000 copies in print, including mass market editions from Penguin-Putnam and Onyx Publishers); the best-selling Fiction title to date has been “Blood, Money & Power: How L.B.J. Killed J.F.K.” from attorney Barr McClellan (over 120,000 copies in print, inclusive of mass market editions).

The company has also released thirty-two feature films to theatres, beginning in 2008 with “HOUNDDOG” a dramatic feature starring Dakota Fanning, and two top performing feature documentaries, “TURTLE: THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY” (2011) and “ON ANY SUNDAY: THE NEXT CHAPTER” (2014).

Employees

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had two full-time employees and one full-time, short-term employee. The full-time employees were Eric F. Parkinson (CEO and SECY), and D. Frederick Shefte (PRESIDENT), each working on an unsalaried basis. The one full-time, short-term employee is Randall Blanton, working as interim Chief Financial Officer (CFO) for a period of between ninety (90) and one-hundred-eighty (180) days or until such time that the company has obtained Directors and Officer’s Liability Insurance (“D&O”) coverage, at which time, Mr. Blanton’s short-term affiliation will be converted into a full-time employment status with a term of at least one (1) year. During the interim process, Mr. Blanton is being paid as an outside contractor at the monthly rate of four-thousand dollars (USD $4,000).

Issuer’s Facilities

As of the date of this filing, the Company does not hold a direct lease on offices; however, as a trade-out for marketing services with Vodwiz, Inc., Company has been granted occupancy of offices at 355 N. College Ave., Suite N, Fayetteville, AR, 72701, consisting of approx. 1,380 square feet, including four executive offices, a conference room, two bathrooms and a kitchen. For purposes of accounting and revenue and expense recognition, Company is accruing costs of $2,050 per month for office space value, and matching this sum with a ledger entry for marketing services.

Available Information

Issuer utilizes M2 Compliance Corporation to file reports and other disclosures electronically with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for information statements, financial reports as well as for the upcoming Form 10 Registration statement. The company’s financials and other disclosures may also be found on the OTC Markets website, at www.OTCMarkets.com/HHSE.

Officers, Directors, and Control Persons

During the applicable reporting period, officer D. Frederick Shefte completed a dissolution of marriage with Diana Shefte; under the terms of the divorce settlement, the officer (affiliate) shares beneficially owned by D. Frederick Shefte as listed in the above table, will eventually be transferred to Diana Shefte, under the specific sale restriction rules governing the disposition of affiliate-owned shares under Rule 144.

Response: On October 8, 2019, Company was advised of an order from the Arkansas Securities Commission regarding the issuance of a convertible debt instrument to JSJ Investments, Inc. in 2014, which transaction was not registered with the Arkansas Securities Commission. Company was ordered to not issue any additional convertible debt instruments from within the State of Arkansas if such instruments are not registered within the State of Arkansas Securities Commission. Company was advised on a call with the Commission on October 10, 2019 that this policy in Arkansas is effective until such time that the Company is otherwise a fully reporting and registered with the Securities & Exchange Commission. Company has requested an appeal and administrative hearing to remove the order on multiple causes of action. The initial step of the appeal process occurred in late November, at which time, a representative of the Arkansas Dept. of Securities concurred that the transaction in question was not with an Arkansas resident or Arkansas entity, and therefore may not be subject to Arkansas Laws. There will be an additional appeal process hearing at such time that the COVID-19 pandemic shut-down of courthouses and non-essential hearings has been lifted. Based upon prior calls with the Arkansas Securities Commission and with appropriate counsel, Company will present the appropriate evidence at this upcoming hearing that should result in a dismissal of the Arkansas C&D order.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

Investors and prospective shareholders should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included in this report, in considering our business and prospects. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations. The occurrence of any of the following risks could harm our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Risks Related to Our Business

The company’s previous core-business of DVD Distribution is being eroded and replaced with digital streaming media for deliver to consumers.

During the years 2004 through 2008, the company was selling nearly four-million DVD units per year to Walmart Stores, Inc., primarily for the “budget bin” business (at suggested retail prices of $5.00 or less), in addition to a robust new-release business for two or three higher priced DVD titles per month. Beginning with the emergence of the BluRay format, available retail shelf space at Walmart, Target, Best Buy and other major USA retailers began to shrink for independent films. Beginning with the emergence of the Netflix / Amazon Prime models of direct-to-home digital delivery of entertainment, the consumer buying trends have evolved away from DVD and BluRay units in favor of home streaming. While Hannover House is moving its titles into the streaming media – both through multiplatform placements as well as through the planned “MYFLIX” multi-studio site, there can be no assurance that the revenues previously generated by DVD and BluRay physical units will be fully replaced with digital streaming revenues.

The Company needs additional capital for new venture development, new product acquisition, general operations and existing debt management.

The development, production and distribution of original content feature films – as well as the onboarding and launch of the MyFlix streaming portal each demand significant funding resources which exceed the company’s abilities from current revenue levels. To continue with the acquisition (or production) of commercially viable feature film products – and to finance the costs to on-board titles and launch the MyFlix streaming site – Company will be reliant upon outside financing which may not be available. Sources which the Company plans to pursue include the issuance of a S1 stock registration filing to raise up to eight million dollars (USD $8,000,000) for such ventures. Other financing options include the use of international pre-sales and various co-production and state film incentives to provide the capital for high-profile feature film productions. Currently, the Company has no established bank-financing arrangements. Therefore, it is likely that the Company’s future financing need would involve some form of registration offering or a future private offerings of the Hannover House, Inc. equity securities, debt financings, or strategic partnerships and other arrangements with corporate partners.

We may incur significant costs to ensure compliance with corporate governance and accounting requirements.

With the Company’s impending registration through the Securities and Exchange Commission, the enhanced level of compliance and disclosure – including audit and review requirements – may result in a strain on the Company’s resources. New operational procedures will need to be implemented and maintained, to comply with the Company’s public company reporting requirements, including operational compliance under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and other rules implemented by the SEC. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly. We also expect that these applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers.

Our future success is substantially dependent on the performance and continued service of Eric Parkinson, our Chief Executive Officer.

We are presently substantially dependent on the experience, abilities, industry relationships and continued services of Eric F. Parkinson, our Chief Executive Officer. The loss of Mr. Parkinson’s services would be highly detrimental to the Company’s ongoing and future business, and his replacement with an executive with Mr. Parkinson’s level of experience and prior success in the entertainment distribution industry could be prohibitively expensive.

Our future growth will require the recruitment of additional qualified employees, and there is no assurance that we will be able to find such employees on acceptable terms.

To accommodate our future growth, we will need to increase the depth and experience of our employees and management team. Our future success will depend to a large degree upon the active participation of our key officers and employees. There is no assurance that we will be able to employ additional qualified persons on acceptable terms. Lack of qualified employees will adversely affect our business development.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Investors / Shareholders may experience a dilution of ownership interest because of the future issuance of additional shares of our common stock and our preferred stock.

In the future, Hannover House, Inc. may issue authorized but previously unissued equity securities, resulting in the dilution of the ownership interests of our present stockholders. The Company is currently authorized to issue an aggregate of 900,000,000 shares of capital stock, but anticipates changing the authorized level of shares to 1-Billion in total (to accommodate the upcoming S1 stock offering which calls for the sale of up to 150-million shares in three stages of 50-million shares each).

The Company may also issue additional shares of our common stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for common stock in connection with hiring or retaining employees or consultants, future acquisitions, future sales of our securities for capital raising purposes or for other business purposes. The future issuance of any such additional shares of our common stock or other securities may create downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock. There can be no assurance that we will not be required to issue additional shares, warrants or other convertible securities in the future in conjunction with hiring or retaining employees or consultants, future acquisitions, future sales of our securities for capital raising purposes or for other business purposes, including at a price (or exercise prices) below the price at which shares of our common stock are then quoted on the OTC or other quotation system.

Our common stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC and the trading volume in our securities is, to date, modest, which can make transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.

The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9, which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require: (i) that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and (ii) the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must: (i) obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and (ii) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form: (i) sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and (ii) that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.

Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

Our stock price may be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations due to many factors, including a substantial market overhang.

The market price of our common stock may be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to quarterly variations in operating results, announcements of distribution agreements, new affiliations or new products and services by us or our competitors, changes in financial estimates by securities analysts, lack of market acceptance of our products, or other events or factors, including the risk factors described herein. In addition, the stock market in general experiences significant price and volume fluctuations that are often unrelated to a company’s operating performance. As with any public company, we may be subject to securities class action litigation following periods of volatility in the market price of our securities which could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources.

Company does not expect to pay dividends for some time, which could result in no immediate return on a stock purchase investment.

Hannover House, Inc. has never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain our earnings, if any, to provide funds for the operation and expansion of our business and, therefore, do not anticipate declaring or paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any payment of future dividends will be at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors and will depend upon, among other things, our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, level of indebtedness, contractual restrictions with respect to the payment of dividends and other relevant factors of our operations.

Company’s common stock shares are not currently trading “electronically” through the DTCC which can limit an Investor / Shareholder’s placement with brokers (if shares are acquired via “paper certificates”).

As of June 1, 2020 common stock shares of Hannover House, Inc. were approved for electronic clearance and transfer through the Depository Trust Clearing Corporation (DTCC). Shareholders may still request a physical (paper) share certificate if electronic transfer is not preferred.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS.

Not Applicable.

ITEM 2. PROPERTY.

The Company owns office furnishings, computers, fixtures and a wide range of motion picture production equipment as are itemized on the Company’s balance sheet. The Company does not own any real estate property, and is sharing offices with Vodwiz, Inc., under a services-barter arrangement.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

Over the course of operations these past twenty-seven (27) years, from time-to-time the Company has been involved in litigation, most commonly from third-party producers who wish to claim that they are owed more in royalties that the results of their title’s release actually accrued. The total number of lawsuits has been seventeen (17), the majority of which have been resolved in Company’s favor. The Company is not currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. Excepting as specified in the summary below, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our company’s or our company’s subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect on us. Notwithstanding the above, the Company has summarized all significant legal proceedings or legal judgments below, along with a status on activities regarding the disposition of each. These legal issues are listed alphabetically by the name of the principal adversarial party.

3a). BEDROCK VENTURES v. HANNOVER HOUSE – A California default judgment was entered against the company for approximately $513,098 in 2005, which Bedrock has attempted to enforce through unsuccessful garnishment attempts against some Hannover House customers. Based on Arkansas law, and the meritorious defense that Bedrock was contractually committed to funding the Company for $1.5-mm (which was only partially paid), and the subsequent discovery of fraud by Bedrock involved with the transaction, Company plans to re-open the case for adjudication once the COVID-19 court shut downs are lifted.

3b). DAISY WINTERS v. HANNOVER HOUSE – A California default judgment was entered against Hannover House (amount of award still pending), despite a written agreement to dissolve the venture between the two parties, including Hannover’s full cooperation with the dissolution of rights. Based on Arkansas law and meritorious defenses, Company plans to re-open this case for adjudication in Arkansas once the COVID-19 court shut downs are lifted.

3c). DOGPATCH (Carters A.V.) v. HANNOVER HOUSE – A case has been filed in Arkansas for which Hannover House has meritorious defenses which are likely to prevail upon adjudication. Hannover House has not yet filed its response due to the COVID-19 court house shut down.

3d). GETTING GRACE v. HANNOVER HOUSE – A settlement agreement with this program supplier has been made, but court shut downs have impeded the certification and consummation of this agreement.

3e). HINDS-SHANKMAN v. HANNOVER HOUSE – Company has three causes of meritorious defense which have not yet been pursued due to court house shut downs in California. Although the Plaintiff has filed for a “default.” Counsel and representatives of the court have disclosed that respondents that are impeded from filing a timely response during the court house shut downs will be granted an equal amount of compensatory time to make a response once the courts are reopened.

3f). JSJ v. HANNOVER HOUSE – Company has engaged counsel to move to set-aside the Texas default on the grounds that the notes were fully paid prior to the Plaintiff seeking a judgment.

3g). LEWIN v. HANNOVER HOUSE – This is a foreign (New York) default judgment for which there is no contractual basis whatsoever. Company will seek to have the foreign judgment stayed-from-enforcement at such point in time that the Arkansas courts are re-opened following the COVID-19 shut downs.

3h). ORIGIN RELEASING v. HANNOVER HOUSE – This was a Texas matter that Hannover House defended and ultimately acquiesced and agreed to payment of approx. $250,000 on the basis of a revised accounting of revenues. Subsequent to the agreement to pay this revised sum to Origin Releasing, Hannover House found the original contract which was not “marked-up with hand-written changes” that were the basis for the Origin claim of monies still being due. This significant development provides the basis to re-open the case in Texas, which can be implemented once the COVID-19 court house shut downs are lifted.

3i). SECOND STAR v. HANNOVER HOUSE – Company has not yet filed its response due to the applicable court house being shut-down during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the Plaintiff has proceeded to file for a “default,” Counsel and representatives of the court have disclosed that respondents that are impeded from filing a timely response during the court house shut downs will be granted an equal amount of compensatory time to make a response once the courts are reopened.

3j). UPTONE (Davis) v. HANNOVER HOUSE – This was a California default judgment for which no service of the summons onto defendants occurred. Accordingly, once the California courts are reopened for business, Hannover House will file to set-aside this judgment and will file the applicable, meritorious responses, including the cross complaint for damages of more than $700,000 resulting from Uptone’s failure to fund the theatrical releasing costs of the movie “Union Bound,” which forced Hannover House to mitigate.

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES.

PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Market Information

Hannover House, Inc. common stock is quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol “HHSE.”. The last trade for our common stock prior to the effective date of this filing was at $0.0123 per share on August 14, 2020. The OTC Markets chart summary indicates that the common stock trades at a daily average volume of 627,842 shares, which is a daily trading volume at average prices of approximately $7,722. Accordingly, large dollar volume purchases will have a substantial impact to the price-per-share of Hannover House, Inc. stock, while liquidity is presently limited and a large block of shares for sale could take time to sell. It is management’s belief that the filing of the Form 10 Registration could improve investor / shareholder confidence in the HHSE stock and that this could manifest into both a higher average share price as well as an increase in daily volume.

Holders

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had approximately 205 shareholders of record for its common stock – according to the Company’s stock transfer agent, Standard Registrar and Transfer Co., Inc. An additional pool of shareholders are consolidated under block listings for trade brokers such as E-Trade, Scottrade and TD Ameritrade.

Dividends

Hannover House, Inc. has not declared or paid any dividends on our common stock and the Company intends to retain any future earnings to fund the development and growth of our business. Therefore, we do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. There are no restrictions on our present ability to pay dividends to stockholders of our common stock, other than those which may be prescribed by Wyoming law.

Equity Compensation Plan and Stock Option Plan Information

The Company, at the current time, has no stock option plan or any equity compensation plans

Results of Operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020

The first six months of 2020 were utilized by management primarily to complete reporting requirements for the Company’s forthcoming Form 10 Registration filing, as well as the Company’s subsequent S1 Registration and raising. Additional activities included ongoing supervision of the editorial process of the feature film, “WILDFIRE” as well as on-boarding and mastering work related to the preparation and prelaunch of the consumer streaming site, MyFlix. Revenues for Q2 were a modest $75,319 of which $69,345 were non-cash journal entries for invoiced services rendered ($54,250), studio royalties ($8,945) and rental-space barter ($6,150).

Cost of Revenue

There were not cost-of-goods incurred during Q1 which impacted the G&A or Income Statement for this period.

Gross & Net Profits

For the applicable reporting period, Company posted a Gross Profit of $75,319 which after interest and operational expenses resulted in a net income of $57,870. Due to tax-loss carry forwards, no provision for income taxes has been included in this quarterly assessment of net income

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the current reporting period were $9,848. This G&A expense for the period ending 6-30-2020 is lower than in prior quarters due to the waiver of salary from officers and the cessation of travel, entertainment and releasing costs as a result of the COVID-19 impact to the motion picture and video distribution industries, including Hannover House, Inc.

Interest expense.

Interest expense was $7,601 for the three-month period ended June 20, compared to $7,502 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, which represents a modest and predicted rise in the interest expenses due to compounding balances.

Liquidity & Capital Resources

The company had limited and minimal liquidity during the three-month period ended June 30, 2020, which was not problematic due to a cessation of most costs due to the COVID-19 industry shut downs.

As of the June 30, 2020, Company had cash of $1,028, as compared to $4,849 as of March 30, 2020, representing a decrease of $3,821.

This filing includes a summary of Cash Flows for the Company during the applicable reporting period.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use if estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.

Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 of our financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact its financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities”.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to include this information in our Annual Report on Form 10-K or onto Form 10-Q

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our consolidated financial statements appear in a separate section of this Annual Report on Form 10-Q beginning on page F-1.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

None.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure and Control Procedures

The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure (i) that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and (ii) that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2020, and concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as a whole, and that the deficiency involving internal controls constituted a material weakness as discussed below.

(b) Management’s Assessment of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). A system of internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, the Company’s management has evaluated the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2015, based on the criteria established in a report entitled “Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission” and the interpretive guidance issued by the Commission in Release No. 34-55929. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s management has evaluated and concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of November 30, 2015, and identified the following material weaknesses:

Notwithstanding the existence of these material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, our management believes that the financial statements included in its reports fairly present in all material respects the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

The Company will continue its assessment on a quarterly basis and the Company plans to hire personnel and resources to address these material weaknesses when it is financially able to do so. We believe these issues can be solved by hiring in-house accounting support and plan to do so as soon as we have funds available for this.

This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s registered public accounting firm was not required to issue an attestation on its internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC. The Company will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls and procedures on an on-going basis.

(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

None.
