GULF WEST SECURITY NETWORK, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 |
NOTE 1: NATURE OF THE BUSINESS
Gulf West Security Network, Inc. (a Nevada Corporation), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, formerly known as “NuLife Sciences, Inc.” (“we”, “us”, “our”, “Gulf West”, “GWSN”, or the “Company”), are principally engaged in providing residential and commercial electronic security, home automation, and systems integration services on both a retail and wholesale basis.
The Company’s retail division, which includes its wholly-owned subsidiary LJR Security Services, Inc. (a Louisiana Corporation) (“LJR”), is actively engaged in the hands-on design, engineering, sales, installation, after-market servicing, inspection and remote electronic monitoring of home (residential) burglar, fire and medical alarm systems as well as fully-integrated business (commercial) security and automation systems in the United States.
The Company’s wholesale division, which operates under the name Gulf West Security Network (or “Gulf West”), is further engaged in the development and expansion of a proprietary coalition (alliance or network) of independently-branded life safety and property protection providers, fire alert and suppression system installers, electronic remote monitoring and video surveillance specialists, smart home designers, commercial systems integrators, structured wiring professionals and electrical contractors.
Merger
On August 9, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company through its wholly-owned subsidiary NuLife Acquisition Corp. (“NuLife Sub”) approved and executed an agreement of merger and plan of reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”), to become effective at such time as the articles of merger have been filed with the Secretary of State of Louisiana (the “Effective Time”), and after the satisfaction or waiver by the parties thereto of the conditions set forth in Article VI of the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, and in exchange for all one hundred (100) issued and outstanding shares of LJR Security Services, Inc. (“LJR”), LJR stockholders received one thousand (1,000) shares of series D senior convertible preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series D Preferred Stock”) of the Company, convertible into fifty million two hundred thirty-three thousand five hundred forty-one (50,239,541) shares of common stock of the Company. In addition, the LJR shareholder received one share of series C super-voting preferred stock of NuLife which granted the holder 50.1% of the votes of NuLife at all times.
The merger was accounted for as a reverse merger, whereby LJR was considered the accounting acquirer and became our wholly-owned subsidiary. In accordance with the accounting treatment for a “reverse merger”, the Company’s historical financial statements prior to the reverse merger has been replaced with the historical financial statements of LJR prior to the reverse merger. The financial statements after completion of the reverse merger include the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the combined company from and after the closing date of the reverse merger, with only certain aspects of pre-consummation stockholders’ equity remaining in the consolidated financial statements.
GULF WEST SECURITY NETWORK, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 |
Restatement of Articles of Incorporation
On September 19, 2018, LJR Security Services, Inc. amended and restated its articles of incorporation providing for a change in the Company’s name to “Gulf West Security Network, Inc.” The Company’s authorized shares of common stock, preferred stock and the par value of the stock will remain unchanged. The Company also amended and restated its bylaws to reflect the name change.
On September 20, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company designated one (1) share of Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C Stock”) and one thousand (1,000) shares of Series D Preferred Stock (the “Series D Stock”). The classes of Series C Stock and Series D Stock were created in anticipation of the closing of the Merger Agreement.
Reverse Stock Split
On March 29, 2022, the Company filed an amendment to its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, effective as of 12:01 am on April 1, 2022, whereby each 200 currently outstanding share of the Common Stock shall be combined and converted into one (1) share of Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Following the Reverse Stock Split, the Company had 23,091 shares of Common Stock outstanding and an additional 499,976,909 shares of Common Stock available for issuance. In addition, the authorized shares of common stock were increased from 475,000,000 shares to 500,000,000 shares and the authorized shares of preferred stock were increased from 25,000,000 shares to 50,000,000 shares, of which 635,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, one (1) share of Series C Preferred Stock and 1,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock are outstanding. All outstanding shares disclosed for all periods presented have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effects of the stock split.
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Management makes estimates that affect certain accounts including deferred income tax assets, accrued expenses, fair value of equity instruments and reserves for any other commitments or contingencies. Any adjustments applied to estimates are recognized in the period in which such adjustments are determined.
Principles of Consolidation
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include all accounts of Gulf West Security Network, Inc., LJR, and NuLife Sciences, Inc. from September 28, 2018, the consummation of the Merger Agreement. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
GULF WEST SECURITY NETWORK, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 |
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America (“U.S.”) as promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and with the rules and regulations of the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Therefore, the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, including accounts in book overdraft positions, certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid investments with maturities of one year or less, when purchased, to be cash. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and periodically evaluates the credit worthiness of the financial institutions and has determined the credit exposure to be negligible.
Capitalization of Fixed Assets
The Company capitalizes expenditures related to property and equipment, subject to a minimum rule, that have a useful life greater than one year for: (1) assets purchased; (2) existing assets that are replaced, improved or the useful lives have been extended; or (3) all land, regardless of cost. Acquisitions of new assets, additions, replacements and improvements (other than land) costing less than the minimum rule in addition to maintenance and repair costs, including any planned major maintenance activities, are expensed as incurred.
Revenue Recognition
The Company retrospectively adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, on January 1, 2018, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company generates revenue primarily through contractual monthly recurring fees received for monitoring and related services provided to customers. In transactions involving security systems that are sold outright to the customer, or where equipment is already owned by the customer, the Company’s performance obligations include monitoring, related services, and the sale and installation, or refurbish and repair, of the security systems. Revenue associated with the sale and installation of security systems is recognized once installation is complete and is reflected in installation and repair revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Revenue associated with monitoring and related services is recognized as those services are provided and is reflected in monitoring and related services revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Early termination of the contract by the customer results in a termination charge in accordance with the contract terms. Contract termination charges are recognized in revenue when collectability is probable and are reflected in monitoring and related revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Amounts collected from customers for sales and other taxes are reported net of the related amounts remitted.

Barter Transactions
The Company conducts certain barter sales through trade organizations for which it is a member, as are some of its customers. The barter transactions are generally related to the Company providing its security services, and the value of these services is recorded at fair value which is the contracted for value of the services with the customer, which is the more readily available measure as to its valuation.
Fair Value Measurements
Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments require disclosure of the fair value information, whether or not recognized in its balance sheet, where it is practicable to estimate that value.
In accordance with ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” the Company measures certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, established a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
| · | Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; |
| · | Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and |
| · | Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. |
| | Fair Value Measurement | |
| | Carrying Value | | | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | |

Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
Changes in Level 3 assets measured at fair value for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2021 were as follows:
Balance, December 31, 2020 | | $ | 238,395 | |
Changes in fair value of derivative | | | (99,773 | ) |
Balance, December 31, 2021 | | $ | 138,622 | |
Change in fair value of derivative | | | (90,397 | ) |
Balance, September 30, 2022 | | $ | 48,225 | |
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model to value the derivative instruments. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
The Company estimates the fair value of these instruments using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the intrinsic value if the convertible notes are due on demand.
The Company determined that certain convertible debt instruments outstanding as of the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include an exercise price “reset” adjustment that qualifies as derivative financial instruments under the provisions of ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in an Entity’s Own Stock (“ASC 815-40”). Certain of the convertible notes payable have a variable exercise price, thus are convertible into an indeterminate number of shares for which we cannot determine if we have sufficient authorized shares to settle the transaction with. Accordingly, the embedded conversion option is a derivative liability and is marked to market through earnings at the end of each reporting period. Any change in fair value during the period is recorded in earnings as “Income from discontinued operations.” Please refer to Note 3 below.
Going Concern
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has limited commercial experience and had a net loss from continuing operations of $227,602 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and an accumulated deficit of $3,508,536, and a working capital deficit of $3,146,074 at September 30, 2022. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenue sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company’s cash resources will likely be insufficient to meet its anticipated needs during the next twelve months. The Company will require additional financing to fund its future planned operations, including research and development and commercialization of its products.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund its operating losses until it establishes a revenue stream and becomes profitable. Management’s plans to continue as a going concern include raising additional capital through sales of equity securities and borrowing. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. If the Company is not able to obtain the necessary additional financing on a timely basis, the Company will be forced to delay or scale down some or all of its development activities or perhaps even cease the operation of its business. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. There is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to record a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 was effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest period presented in the consolidated financial statements. The Company adopted the provisions of this standard in the year 2019 but did not have any impact since all leases are short-term in nature.
Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future condensed consolidated financial statements.

On December 21, 2020, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with the sole shareholder and owner of Westech Security and Investigations, Inc. (“Westech”). Pursuant to the terms of the share purchase agreement, the sole shareholder of Westech will sell all her shares to the Company in exchange for approximately 66% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Sale”), to become effective at such time as the articles of merger have been filed. The remaining 34% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common Stock shall consist of presently issued and outstanding shares of common Stock of the Company and the following to be issued in the form of Company’s Series E Preferred Stock, convertible into one share of Company’s common Stock, and shall consist of: (i) an exchange of all outstanding preferred stock of the Company, (ii) an exchange of all outstanding loans to the Company which shall either be satisfied or shall convert to Series E Preferred Stock immediately following the closing of the sale so that there are no outstanding loans to the Company at closing of the sale, (iii) a bridge loan of $500,000 previously made to Westech, which shall convert to Series E Preferred Stock immediately following the closing of the sale and (iv) an investment of $750,000 into the Company at closing of the sale. In connection with the additional $1,250,000, the Company shall issue 1,250,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock. Furthermore, subject to the approval of Company’s shareholder and subject to discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company, the Company will change its name to “Westech Security and Investigation, Inc”, increase the number of shares of authorized preferred stock so it has sufficient amount of preferred stock to undertake the transactions contemplated by the sale; and undertake a 1-for-187 reverse stock split of its shares of common stock. Subsequent to the period ended December 31, 2021.
On August 19, 2022, the Company entered into a Termination Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) with Westech and Josephine Brown (“Brown”), the sole shareholder and owner of Westech, to terminate the Share Purchase Agreement, dated December 21, 2020 (the “Share Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, Westech and Brown. Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, the Company, Westech and Brown released each other from certain claims related to, or arising out of, the Share Purchase Agreement.
On August 9, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company through its wholly-owned subsidiary NuLife Acquisition Corp., a Louisiana corporation (“NuLife Sub”), approved and executed an agreement of merger and plan of reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”), to become effective at such time as the articles of merger had been filed with the Secretary of State of Louisiana (the “Effective Time”), and after the satisfaction or waiver by the parties thereto of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, NuLife Sub merged with and into LJR, with LJR being the surviving entity and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, all one hundred (100) issued and outstanding shares of common stock of LJR held by the sole stockholder of LJR (“LJR Stockholder”) were exchanged into one thousand (1,000) shares of series D senior convertible preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series D Preferred Stock”), of the Company, convertible into fifty million two hundred thirty-nine thousand five hundred forty-one (50,239,541) shares of common stock of the Company (the “Merger”). In addition, the LJR Stockholder received one share of series C super-voting preferred stock of the Company which granted the holder 50.1% of the votes of the Company at all times.

Following the Reverse Stock Split, the Company had 23,091 shares of Common Stock outstanding and an additional 499,976,909 shares of Common Stock available for issuance. In addition, the authorized shares of common stock were increased from 475,000,000 shares to 500,000,000 shares and the authorized shares of preferred stock were increased from 25,000,000 shares to 50,000,000 shares, of which 635,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, one (1) share of Series C Preferred Stock and 1,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock are outstanding.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Management makes estimates that affect certain accounts including deferred income tax assets, accrued expenses, fair value of equity instruments and reserves for any other commitments or contingencies. Any adjustments applied to estimates are recognized in the period in which such adjustments are determined.

See Note 2 of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recently issued accounting standards.
Results of Operations
Three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
We had revenue of $2,072 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $2,646 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, a decrease of $574 or 21.7%. This decrease in revenue was due to a reduction in revenue from monitoring and related services between the two periods.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue sold for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $1,068, as compared to $969 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, a minimal increase of $99.
General and Administrative
Our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were $82,586, a minimal decrease of $727, or 0.9%, compared to $83,313 for the three months ended September 30, 2021.
Loss from discontinued operations
Subsequent to the Merger, management decided to discontinue the activities of NuLife. As a result, we recorded income of $11,559, primarily due to a change in the fair value of a derivative liability for the three months ended September 30, 2022.
Net loss
As a result of the foregoing, for the three months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded a net loss of $73,772 compared to a net loss of $121,893 for the three months ended September 30, 2021.
Nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
We had revenue of $6,945 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $7,944 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, a decrease of $999 or 12.6%. The decrease in revenue was due to a lesser concentration on new alarm system sales and installations, with our focus moving more toward alarm system monitoring and the corresponding recurring monthly revenue (RMR) that is associated with monitoring services.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $3,631, as compared to $2,981 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $650 or 21.8%.
General and Administrative

Loss from discontinued operations
Subsequent to the Merger, management decided to discontinue the activities of NuLife. As a result, we recorded income of $90,397 primarily due to a change in the fair value of a derivative liability for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Net loss
As a result of the foregoing, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded a net loss of $137,205 compared to a net loss of 326,922 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2022, the Company had $7,677 cash. The Company has limited commercial experience and had a net loss from continuing operations of $85,331 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and an accumulated deficit of $3,508,536, and a working capital deficit of $3,146,074 at September 30, 2022. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenue sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.
We do not believe that we have enough cash on hand to operate our business during the next 12 months. The Company will require additional financing to fund its future planned operations, including research and development and commercialization of its products. To date, the Company has financed its operation primarily from advances from its affiliates. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has received advances totaling $1,950,193 and $1,875,436, respectively, from its affiliates. The formal structure and payment terms of these advances have not yet been determined by the Company and the third parties. We do not have verbal or formal contracts with our affiliates obligating them to loan funds to us.
We may seek to raise additional funding that we require in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund our operations. We currently do not have any agreements or arrangements in place for any future financing.
Operating Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we used $98,143 of cash in operating activities primarily as a result of our loss of $137,205 from operations, offset by net changes in working capital items of operating assets and liabilities of $186,212.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we used $115,027 of cash in operating activities primarily as a result of our loss of $326,922 from operations, offset by net changes in working capital items of operating assets and liabilities of $180,297.
Financing Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, financing activities provided $74,757 in proceeds from a bridge loan and provided $8,026 in advances from related party.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, financing activities provided $111,500 in proceeds from a bridge loan and used $2,320 in advances from related party.
Off-Balance Sheet Transactions
At September 30, 2022, the Company did not have any transactions, obligations or relationships that could be considered off-balance sheet arrangements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item 3.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, management performed, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on the evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Due to resource constraints, material weaknesses are evident to management regarding our inability to generate all the necessary disclosure for inclusion in our filings with the Securities and Exchanges Commission, which is due to the lack of resources and segregation of duties. We lack sufficient personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience and training in GAAP to meet the demands for a public company, including the accounting skills and understanding necessary to fulfill the requirements of GAAP-based reporting. This weakness causes us to not fully identify and resolve accounting and disclosure issues that could lead to a failure to perform timely internal control and reviews. In addition, the Company has not established an audit committee, does not have any independent outside directors on the Company’s Board of Directors, and lacks documentation of its internal control processes.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
