Note 2Going Concern and Management’s Plans

NOTE 2          GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS

 

The Company has not yet achieved profitability and expects to continue to incur cash outflows from operations. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had cash of $767,906 and a working capital deficit of $931,889. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company incurred net losses of $979,238 and $1,187,109, respectively, and used cash in operations of $1,267,427 and $968,882, respectively. It is expected that its research and development and general and administrative expenses will continue to increase and, as a result, the Company will eventually need to generate significant product revenues to achieve profitability. These conditions indicate that thereFurther, as of June 30, 2020, the Company has debt principal (excluding Paycheck Protection Program loans) in the amount of $1,275,000 which matures on May 31, 2021.

In January 2020, an outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was identified in Wuhan, China. Through the first quarter of 2020, the disease became widespread around the world, and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic. Our business is substantial doubt aboutdependent on developing new markets and new products to be used on a global basis, thus restrictions on travel could lead to reduced demand for our products and interruptions to supply chains. Also, the local regulations such as “Shelter in Place” will affect our ability to maintain regular R&D and manufacturing schedules as well as the capability to meet customer demands in a timely manner. Given the uncertainty around the extent and timing of the potential future spread or mitigation of the Coronavirus and around the imposition or relaxation of protective measures, we cannot reasonably estimate the impact to our future results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.

For each advance, the Company shall have delivered all shares relating to all prior advances, and, unless waived by the Investor, at least 5 trading days shall have elapsed from the immediately preceding advance date.

TheAs of June 30, 2020, the Company is currently fundinghad approximately $7,242,300 available in connection with the SEDA, subject to certain conditions, in order to fund its operations on a month-to-month basis by means of private placements. Although the Company’s management believes that it has access to capital resources,ongoing operations; however, there are currently no commitments in place for new financing at this time and there iscan be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to sell common shares pursuant to the SEDA at an acceptable price, or without causing undue dilution to existing investors. Further, there is also no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to obtain additional funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate funds on reasonable terms, it may be required to significantly curtail or discontinue operations or obtain funds by entering into financing agreements on unattractive terms. The Company’s operating needs include the planned costs to operate its business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures.

  

The aforementioned conditions indicate that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statement issuance date. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP,GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). The core principle of ASC 606 requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation.

 

The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:

·Step 1:1: Identify the contract with the customer;
·Step 2:2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract;
·Step 3:3: Determine the transaction price;
·Step 4:4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
·Step 5:5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation.

Note 3Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Continued

 

The Company recognizes revenue primarily from the following different types of contracts:

 

·Product sales – Revenue is recognized at the point in time the customer obtains control of the goods and the Company satisfies its performance obligation, which is generally at the time it ships the product to the customer.

·Contract services – Revenue is recognized at the point in time that the Company satisfies its performance obligation under the contract, which is generally at the time it delivers a report to the customer.

Sequencing Policy

Under ASC 815-40-35 (“ASC 815”), the Company has adopted a sequencing policy, whereby, in the event that reclassification of contracts from equity to assets or liabilities is necessary pursuant to ASC 815 due to the Company’s inability to demonstrate it has sufficient authorized shares as a result of certain securities with a potentially indeterminable number of shares, shares will be allocated on the basis of the earliest issuance date of potentially dilutive instruments, with the earliest grants receiving the first allocation of shares. Pursuant to ASC 815, issuances of securities to the Company’s employees and directors, or to compensate grantees in a share-based payment arrangement, are not subject to the sequencing policy.

  

Net Loss Per Common Share

 

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common and dilutive common-equivalent shares outstanding, during each period. Dilutive common-equivalent shares consistplus the impact of sharescommon share, if dilutive, resulting from the exercise of non-vested restrictedoutstanding stock if not anti-dilutive.options and warrants and the conversion of convertible instruments.

Operating LeasesReclassifications

 

The Company leases properties under operating leases. For leasesCertain prior period balances have been reclassified in order to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have no effect upon adoptionon previously reported results of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” at January 1, 2019 and for any leases commencing thereafter, the Company recognizes a liability to make lease payments, the “lease liability”, and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term, the “right-of-use asset”. The lease liability is measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The right-of-use asset is measured at the amount of the lease liability adjusted for the remaining balance of any lease incentives received, any cumulative prepaidoperations or accrued rent if the lease payments are uneven throughout the lease term, any unamortized initial direct costs, and any impairment of the right-of-use-asset. Operating lease expense consists of a single lease cost calculated so that the remaining cost of the lease is allocated over the remaining lease term on a straight-line basis, variable lease payments not included in the lease liability, and any impairment of the right-of-use asset.loss per share.

 

The Company evaluated their operating leases and elected to apply the short-term lease measurement and recognition exemption in which the right of use assets and lease liabilities are not recognized for short-term leases.NOTE 4          PREPAID EXPENSES

Under the terms of the CARES Act, as amended by the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act of 2020, the Company is eligible to apply for and receive forgiveness for all or a portion of their respective PPP Loans. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of the loan proceeds for certain permissible purposes as set forth in the PPP, including, but not limited to, payroll costs (as defined under the PPP) and mortgage interest, rent or utility costs (collectively, “Qualifying Expenses”) incurred during the 24 weeks subsequent to funding, and on the maintenance of employee and compensation levels, as defined, following the funding of the PPP Loan. The Company intends to use the proceeds of their PPP Loans for Qualifying Expenses. However, no assurance is provided that KULR will be able to obtain forgiveness of the PPP Loans in whole or in part. Any amounts not forgiven incur interest at 1.0% per annum and monthly repayments of principal and interest are deferred until the Small Business Administration decides on forgiveness. While the Company’s PPP loans currently have a two-year maturity, the amended law will permit the Company to request a five-year maturity, subject to the approval of the counterparty. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized interest expense of $272.

Overview

 

KULR Technology Group, Inc., through our wholly-owned subsidiary KULR Technology Corporation, develops and commercializes high-performance thermal management technologies for batteries, electronics, batteries, and other components across an array of battery-powered applications. Currently, our main focus is a total solution to battery safety by which we are focused on targetingaim to mitigate the effects of thermal runaway propagation. We also target and provide thermal solutions for the following applications: electric vehicles, and autonomous driving systems (collectively referred to herein as “E-Mobility”); artificial intelligence and Cloud computing; energy storage; andcloud computing, 5G communication technologies.technologies, and energy storage for commercial markets as well as directed energy weapons and high-power missile programs for aerospace and defense. Our proprietary core technology is a carbon fiber material with roots in aerospace and defense, that provides what we believe to be superior thermal conductivity and heat dissipation infor an ultra-lightweight and pliable material. By leveraging our proprietary cooling solutions that have been developed through longstanding partnerships with NASA, the Jet Propulsion Lab and others, our products and services make E-Mobilitycommercial battery powered products safer and more stable.electronics systems cooler and lighter.

Battery safety technology is becoming increasingly vital to our world in which battery-operated devices are everywhere. Lithium ion (“Li-ion”) batteries are widely used in consumer electronics, aerospace, marine and automotive applications. In recent months, KULR has developed a total battery safety solution for its customers that spans a wide array of industries and applications. KULR has seen great success in using our patented thermal runaway shield (“TRS”) technology to prevent cell to cell thermal runaway propagation as well as module to module propagation. We have designed a total solution for customers from the design stages incorporating our materials all the way to testing their passive propagation resistant (“PPR”) battery packs. We are flexible and can work with different battery pack configurations across various industries. We developed a PPR reference design for CubeSat battery in December 2019. Our research and testing, as well as working alongside battery experts at NASA Johnson Space Center, has positioned us for further advancements at the forefront of battery safety.

Hundreds of millions of Li-ion cells are produced and transported annually and even those packaged to prevent external short can still experience thermal runaway (“TR”) due to internal shorts, caused by latent defects, when fully charged. In these dangerous cases, a torch-like fire is released as energy escapes from the cell and sends nearby cells into TR resulting in a large fire. As part of our total battery safety solution, we have designed a bag out of our TRS material to suppress the flames and prevent the TR event. Suitably placed, the TRS provides a means of protection not only from adjacent batteries but also outside fires of arbitrary origin. Experts at NASA’s Propulsion & Power Division found our TRS successful at extinguishing the fire generated by cells when they intentionally triggered the batteries into dangerous failures. Our TRS bag is currently being used on the International Space Station (“ISS”) through a project with Leidos, for storing laptop batteries in order to reduce the risk of TR.

Another key element of our battery safety solution is KULR internal short circuit (“ISC”) device and trigger cells which are used for cell testing and screening. Our patented ISC device, licensed from NASA/NREL, can be inserted by OEMs or manufacturers into cells to mimic failure conditions in a cell. Once the trigger device is placed inside the cell, it can be intentionally triggered on demand causing the cell to short circuit. Currently, we provide ISC devices to OEMs and cell manufacturers, as well as ready-made ISC trigger cells to customers to identify failure modes and safety issues within their systems. Currently we are creating an ecosystem based on our technology which can be applied to different battery architectures and chemistries.


Our management believes that within commercial markets, aerospace and defense, and high-value applications, cell testing and screening has become a topic of focus. Therefore, we plan to expand our capabilities to include full battery analysis and testing as outlined by NASA Johnson Space Center. We plan to fully incorporate this into our holistic approach to battery safety along with our PPR battery pack design and testing services, ISC device and trigger cell products and TRS bags. With increasing regulations and pressure from government bodies to mitigate the dangers of battery fires and TR, we plan to further develop our capabilities in this arena.

 

Our management believes thatprojects high priority and growth in the E-Mobility industry has createdaerospace and defense sectors, specifically in regard to directed energy, hypersonic weapon programs, and space missions. Directed energy is currently in the spotlight as experts predict it will create significant new opportunities forgreatly impact the applicationfuture of warfare. Our CRUX cathode generates powerful electron pulses by field emission from the tops of our technologycarbon fiber coating which has the potential to further develop the current technology. Thermal management is another critical component of both hypersonic weapons programs and know-how. We believe these new opportunities will be further driven by certain changing preferences that we’ve observedspace missions and is another area in younger generations that must increasingly cope with higher population density, global warming,which our products excel. Our carbon fiber solutions are used for thermal management in missile defense programs and the rapidly evolving communications and computing needsare particularly effective because of their personal devicessurvivability at very high temperatures. They are also very effective at transferring heat and mitigate the surrounding infrastructure. As a result,risk of overheating in such high-risk environments. Historically we predict that the younger generations will increasingly preferhave provided value to attend meetings by video conference; rent a car, bike, or scooter, or call an app-based car service instead of owning a vehicle;this sector and leverage the Cloudwe look forward to perform tasks traditionally done in person, such as shopping for lunch, clothes, electronicsfurther developing our relationships with Airforce Research Lab, Naval Research Lab and other consumer goods that also leverages an expanding E-Mobility delivery network.prime contractors to market our solutions.

 

In addition to evolving demands led by consumer-preferences,aerospace and defense, we have observed trending manufacturer-led opportunities in industries such as electric motor vehicles (“EV”) that have become increasingly more reliant on the Cloud, on portability and on high-demand processing power. For example, car manufacturers are increasingly providing options that take over the responsibility for driving, diagnosing its own service requirementsKULR’s high performance thermal interface materials can be used to accelerate 5G communications development due to our material’s core properties: high thermal conductivity, light weight, and analyzing on-board systems data and efficiency. The communications and entertainment industries are leveraging increasingly more powerful and portable devices to deliver live and high-definition content and experiences. These innovations will require high bandwidth communication devices that can handle the power drain and computational requirements to keep up with the sophisticated security and software tools that will power these advanced product offerings. As a result of these manufacturer and consumer trends, we believe that the new generations of high-powered, small form-factor semiconductors are out-pacing the ability to control unwanted heat generation in lithium ion batteries.

The above-described advances in micro technology, portable power, and compact energy efficient devices linked to an ever-widening Internet of Things (“IoT”) via the Cloud are driving opportunities that forms the focuslow contact pressure. 5G is one of the Company’s business development plan. We believe that our corebiggest opportunities going forward for transportation technology and historical development focus on improving lithium-ion battery performancewe would like to take part in testing of digital and safety, positions usRF tests for 5G. Testing is still in early phases for both digital and RF communication chips, however, we are seeing a competitively advantageous position to enhance key components to the evolving mobile applicationsbig growth opportunity for a wide range of consumer products and IoT. We have found that as chip performance increases, power consumption increases, and more heat is generated as a byproduct. When chip size reduces, there is an increased potential for a hot spot on the chip, which can degrade system performance, or even cause spontaneous combustion. However, electronic system components must operate within a specific temperature range on both the high and low end to operate properly. After strenuous testing, we believe we have developed heat management solutions that significantly improve upon traditional heat storage and dissipation solutions and improve upon their rigidity and durability. We also believe that the traditional solutions are not equipped to handle the evolving marketplace. However, through a combination of custom design services and provision of proprietary hardware solutions, our products reduce manufacturing complexity and provide a lighter weight solution than traditional thermal management materialsfor 5G. Cloud computing is also an application of interest since high power communications chips and we believe, can meet the heat management demands of components and batteries being designed into the newest mobile technologies and applications.

11

Our management’s growth strategy has put particular focus on targeting E-Mobility applications for its core technology. We believe we are well-positioned to provide a broad range of E-mobility solutions, and intend to expand our business through internal growth and acquisition. In the case of acquisitions, we seek to acquire businesses in related markets that are synergistic to our existing operations, technologies, and management experience. This focus will highlight markets in which we can: (1) integrate our existing technology into the acquiree’s product offerings or simultaneously offer our products and services through the acquiree’s customer base and channels; (2) gain a leading market position and provide vertically integrated services where we can secure economies of scale, premium market positioning, and operational synergies; and/or (3) establish a leading position in selected markets and channels of the acquiree through a joint broad-based, hi-tech, E-Mobility branding campaign. We have developed an acquisition discipline based on a set of financial, market and management criteria to evaluate opportunities. If we were to successfully close an acquisition, we would seek to integrate it while minimizing disruption to our existing operations and those of the acquired business, while exploiting the technical and managerial synergies from integration.optical communication modules require cooling.

 

We have not yet achieved profitability and expect to continue to incur cash outflows from operations. It is expected that our research and development and general and administrative expenses will continue to increase and,operations, as a result, we will eventually need to generate significant product revenues to achieve profitability. These conditions indicate that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statement issuance date. Historically, we have been able to raise funds to support our business operations, although there can be no assurance, even with the support of borrowing under the SEDA, that we will be successful in raising additional funds in the future. Furthermore, we remain focused on growing our operations and eventually achieving profitability, although no assurances can be made that we will achieve such goals.

 

Recent Developments

TerminationCOVID-19

In January 2020, an outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was identified in Wuhan, China. Through the first quarter of 2020, the disease became widespread around the world, and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic. Our business is dependent on developing new markets and new products to be used on a global basis, thus restrictions on travel could lead to reduced demand for our products and interruptions to supply chains. Also, the local regulations such as “Shelter in Place” will affect our ability to maintain regular R&D and manufacturing schedules as well as the capability to meet customer demands in a timely manner. Given the uncertainty around the extent and timing of the Securities Purchase Agreementpotential future spread or mitigation of the Coronavirus and around the imposition or relaxation of protective measures, we cannot reasonably estimate the impact to our future results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.

Typically, a customer relationship begins with service projects to research customer problems and design relevant solutions, followed by product deliveries once the proposed solutions are tested and accepted. Our service revenues, which include certain research and development contracts and onsite engineering services, were not hampered by restrictions arising from working under COVID-19 shelter-in-place regulations. Product sales during these periods included sales of our component product, CFV thermal management solution, and ISC battery cell products, as well as certain research and development contract and onsite engineering services.

Revenue from product sales decreased by 55% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, partly due to the result of physical shipment delays under the impact of the COVID-19 related shut downs, and partly due to the timing of product orders from customers. Product sales during these periods included sales of our component product, CFV thermal management solution, as well as certain research and development contract services.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues consists of the cost of our products as well as labor expenses directly related to product sales or research contract services.

Generally, we earn greater margins on revenue from products compared to revenue from services, so product mix plays an important part in our reported average margins for any period. Also, we are introducing new products in the early stages of our development cycle and the margins earned can vary significantly between period, customers and products due to the learning process, customer negotiating strengths, and product mix.working under COVID-19 shelter-in-place regulations.

 

Our customers and prospective customers are large organizations with multiple levels of management, controls/procedures, and contract evaluation/authorization. Furthermore, our solutions are new and do not necessarily fit into pre-existing patterns of purchase commitment. Accordingly, the business activity cycle between expression of initial customer interest to shipping, acceptance and billing can be lengthy, unpredictable and lumpy, which can influence the timing, consistency and reporting of sales growth.

For the six months ended June 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, cost of revenues was $90,067$67,339 and $183,417,$90,067, respectively, a decrease of $93,350,$22,728, or 51%25%. The decrease was primarily due to increased volume of contracts in the 2018 period, which requested additional labor and materials. The gross margin percentage was 64% and 54% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase during the 2019 period resulted primarily from a more favorable product mix being sold as compared to the previousprior period. The gross margin percentage was 76% and 64% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The improvement in margins during 2020 was primarily the result of both change in product mix and the sale of services to a major new customer.

 

Research and Development

Research and development (“R&D”) includes expenses incurred in connection with the R&D of our CFV thermal management solution. R&D expenses are expensed as they are incurred.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, R&D expenses decreased by $4,459,were $57,991 and $114,547, respectively, a decrease of $56,556 or 4%, to $114,547 from $119,006 for the three months ended June 30, 2018.49%. The decrease is attributableprimarily due to expenses associated with R&D supplies.reductions in salaries and other salary related costs, such as payroll taxes and other benefits, as a result of COVID-19.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, R&D expenses decreased by $10,951,were $169,704 and $227,739, respectively, a decrease of $58,035 or 5%, to $227,739 from $238,690 for the six months ended June 30, 2018.25%. The decrease is attributable to expenses associated with R&D supplies.reductions in salaries and other salary related costs, such as payroll taxes and other benefits, implemented during the end of the first quarter of 2020 due to COVID-19.

 

We expect that our R&D expenses will increase as we expand our future operations.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019,2020 and 2018,2019, cash provided by financing activities was $1,956,476 and $883,300, respectively. Our cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was due to $1,410,000 of net proceeds from the issuance of a note payable, $155,226 of proceeds from the Paycheck Protection Program loan, and $0, respectively.$616,695 of net proceeds from the sale of common stock. These amounts were partially offset by $130,000 for the payment of debt issuance costs, $84,000 for the repayments on notes and $15,000 of cash paid in offering costs. Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019 consisted of approximately $898,000$898,300 of proceeds from the sale of common stock partially offset by the payment of $15,000 of deferredcash paid for offering costs.

In January 2020, an outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was identified in Wuhan, China. Through the first quarter of 2020, the disease became widespread around the world, and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic. Our business is dependent on developing new markets and new products to be used on a global basis, thus restrictions on travel could lead to reduced demand for our products and interruptions to supply chains. Also, the local regulations such as “Shelter in Place” will affect our ability to maintain regular R&D and manufacturing schedules as well as the capability to meet customer demands in a timely manner. Given the uncertainty around the extent and timing of the potential future spread or mitigation of the Coronavirus and around the imposition or relaxation of protective measures, we cannot reasonably estimate the impact to our future results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.

Effective February 27, 2020, the Company entered into a twenty-four month Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (“SEDA”) with YAII, pursuant to which the Company may, at its discretion, sell to up to an aggregate of $8,000,000 (subject to YAII’s approval for amounts over $100,000) of shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to Company 80% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price for the five days immediately following the date the Company delivers notice requiring YAII to purchase the shares under the SEDA. For each advance, the Company shall have delivered all shares relating to all prior advances, and, unless waived by YAII, at least 5 trading days shall have elapsed from the immediately preceding advance date. Through June 30, 2020, we issued an aggregate of 561,564 shares of common stock at prices between $0.72 - $1.62 per share for aggregate proceeds of $757,695 received against advance notices submitted to YAII under the SEDA, of which $141,000 of the proceeds were applied directly against the note payable (see Note 9 – Stockholder Deficiency for additional details). Additionally, the Company applied for, and in April 2020, received, a loan of $155,000 under the government Small Business Administration (“SBA”) sponsored Payroll Protection Program (“PPP”) to support continuing employment during the COVID-19 pandemic.

As of June 30, 2020, we had approximately $7,242,300 available in connection with the SEDA, in order to fund our ongoing operations; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue sell common shares pursuant to the SEDA at an acceptable price, or without causing undue dilution to our existing investors. Subsequent to June 30, 2020, we issued an aggregate of 771,159 shares of common stock at prices between $0.96 - $1.65 per share for aggregate proceeds of $745,000 received against advance notices submitted to YAII under the SEDA, which consists of gross proceeds of $915,000 less $170,000 withheld by YAII to pay down a portion of the Note.

During July 2020, we also received net proceeds of $2,090,000 pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement with YAII (the “July 2020 Note”). The July 2020 Note bears no interest, matures on July 20, 2021, and will be paid in monthly installments through the maturity date.

 

We have not yet achieved profitability and expect to continue to incur cash outflows from operations. It is expected that our research and development and general and administrative expenses will continue to increase and, as a result, we will eventually need to generate significant product revenues and/or raise additional capital to fund our operations. These conditions indicate that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statement issuance date. 

14

We are currently funding our operations on a month-to-month basis. Although our management believes that we have access to capital resources there are currently no commitments in place for new financing at this time andthrough the SEDA or other sources, there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate funds on reasonable terms, we may be required to significantly curtail or discontinue operations or obtain funds by entering into financing agreements on unattractive terms. Our operating needs include the planned costs to operate our business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures. The conditions outlined above indicate that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statement issuance date.


Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which contemplate our continuation as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
