Material Changes and Internal Controls
- Internal Control Effectiveness: Current management concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls were not effective as of December 31, 2018, and remained ineffective as of March 31, 2019.
- Audit Opinion: The independent registered public accounting firm issued an unqualified opinion on the consolidated financial statements for the 2019 Annual Report but issued an adverse opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019.
- Restatement Status: The audit committee and management did not identify any items requiring revision or restatement of the consolidated financial statements previously reported in the 2018 Annual Report or the 2019 First Quarter 10-Q. Consequently, the Company does not intend to file amendments to those prior reports.
Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
- Filing Delays: Management is preparing the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The Company cannot currently predict when this report will be completed and filed due to the time required for the independent auditor to perform the required quarterly review.
- Exchange Compliance: The Company expects to become current in its SEC filing obligations prior to the expiration of the additional trading period granted by the New York Stock Exchange on July 15, 2020.
- Risk Factor: The adverse opinion on internal controls and the delay in filing the Q1 2020 report represent significant risks to the Company's compliance status and investor confidence.
