NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

Note 1 – Organization, Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Norris Industries, Inc. (“NRIS” or the “Company”) (formerly International Western Petroleum, Inc.), was incorporated on February 19, 2014, as a Nevada corporation. The Company was formed to conduct operations in the oil and gas industry. The Company’s principal operating properties are in the Ellenberger formation in Coleman County, and in Jack County and Palo-Pinto County. Texas. The Company’s production operations are all located in the State of Texas.

 

On April 25, 2018, the Company incorporated a Texas registered subsidiary, Norris Petroleum, Inc., as an operating entity.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s annual report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K for the year ended February 29, 2020. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Liquidity and Capital Considerations

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve-month period following the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company’s business and operations have been adversely affected by and are expected to continue to be adversely affected by the recent COVID-19 outbreak and may be adversely affected in the future by other similar outbreaks.

 

As a result of the recent COVID-19 outbreak, including voluntary and mandatory quarantines, travel restrictions and other restrictions, the Company’s operations, and those of its subcontractors, customers and suppliers, have and are anticipated to continue to experience delays or disruptions and temporary suspensions of operations. In addition, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations have been and are likely to continue to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 outbreak.

 

The timeline and potential magnitude of the COVID-19 outbreak is currently unknown. The continuation or amplification of this virus could continue to more broadly affect the United States and global economy, including our business and operations, and the demand, for oil and gas.

 

The Company has incurred continuing losses since 2016, including a loss of $2,898,132 for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2020 and $443,575 for the six months ended August 31, 2020. During the six months ended August 31, 2020, the Company received $200,000 in funding from its credit line and incurred cash losses of approximately $274,000 from its operating activities. As of August 31, 2020, the Company had $400,000 available to borrow under its existing credit line with JBB Partners, Inc. (“JBB”), an affiliate of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, a cash balance of approximately $91,000 and negative working capital of approximately $193,000. As of the filing date of these financial statements, the Company had $300,000 available to borrow under its existing line of credit with JBB.

 

The Company’s principal capital and exploration expenditures during next fiscal year are expected to relate to selected well workovers on its Jack and Palo Pinto County acreages. The Company believes that it has the ability to fund its costs for such expenditures from cash on-hand and available funds from its line of credit.

 

In the event that the Company requires additional capital to fund higher operational losses or oil and gas property lease purchases for fiscal year ending February 28, 2021, the Company expects to seek additional capital from one or more sources via restricted private placement sales of equity and debt securities from those other than JBB. However, there can be no assurance that the Company would be able to secure the necessary capital to fund its costs on acceptable terms, or at all. If, for any reason, the Company is unable to fund its operations, it would have to undertake other aggressive cost cutting measures and then be subject to possible loss of some of its rights and interests in prospects to curtail operations and forced to forego opportunities or in worst case, cease operations.

 

F-5
 

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expense during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company’s operations are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including financial, operational, technological, and other risks associated with operating an emerging business, including the potential risk of business failure.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of one year or less to be cash equivalents. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents.

 

Oil and Gas Properties, Full Cost Method

 

The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for its oil gas properties, whereby all costs incurred in connection with the acquisition, exploration for and development of petroleum and natural gas reserves are capitalized. Such costs include lease acquisition, geological and geophysical activities, rentals on non-producing leases, drilling, completing and equipping of oil wells and administrative costs directly attributable to those activities and asset retirement costs. Disposition of oil properties are accounted for as a reduction of capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recognized unless such adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capital costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations.

 

Depletion and depreciation of proved oil properties are calculated on the units-of-production method based upon estimates of proved reserves. Such calculations include the estimated future costs to develop proved reserves. Costs of unproved properties are not included in the costs subject to depletion. These costs are assessed periodically for impairment.

 

At the end of each quarter, the unamortized cost of oil and gas properties, net of related deferred income taxes, is limited to the sum of the estimated future after-tax net revenues from proved properties, after giving effect to cash flow hedge positions, discounted at 10%, and the lower of cost or fair value of unproved properties, adjusted for related income tax effects. Costs in excess of the present value of estimated future net revenues are charged to impairment expense. This limitation is known as the “ceiling test,” and is based on SEC rules for the full cost oil and gas accounting method.

 

The Company capitalizes pre-acquisition costs directly identifiable with specific properties when the acquisition of such properties is probable. Capitalized pre-acquisition costs are presented in the balance sheet.

 

Equipment

 

Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Renewals and betterments which extend the life or improve existing equipment are capitalized. Upon disposition or retirement of equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are 3 to 10 years.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic No. 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

 

F-6
 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s revenue is comprised entirely of revenue from exploration and production activities. The Company’s oil is sold primarily to wholesalers and others that sell product to end use customers. Natural gas is sold primarily to interstate and intrastate natural-gas pipelines, various end-users, local distribution companies, and natural-gas marketers. NGLs are sold primarily to various end-users. Payment is generally received from the customer in the month following delivery.

 

Contracts with customers have varying terms, including spot sales or month-to-month contracts, or contracts with a finite term, where the production from a well or group of wells is sold to one or more customers. The Company recognizes sales revenues for oil, natural gas, and NGLs based on the amount of each product sold to a customer when control transfers to the customer. Generally, control transfers at the time of delivery to the customer at a pipeline interconnect, the tailgate of a processing facility, or as a tanker lifting is completed. Revenue is measured based on the contract price, which may be index-based or fixed, and may include adjustments for market differentials and downstream costs incurred by the customer, including gathering, transportation, and fuel costs.

 

Revenues are recognized for the sale of the Company’s net share of production volumes. Sales on behalf of other working interest owners and royalty interest owners are not recognized as revenues. The Company does not hedge nor forward sell any of its current production via derivative financial contracts.

 

Share-based Compensation

 

The Company estimates the fair value of each share-based compensation award at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value determined represents the cost for the award and is recognized over the vesting period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. Share-based compensation expense is recognized based on awards ultimately expected to vest. Excess tax benefits, if any, are recognized as an addition to paid-in capital.

 

Net Loss per Common Share

 

Basic net loss per common share amounts are computed by dividing the net loss available to the Company’s shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding over the reporting period. In periods in which the Company reports a net loss, dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive. The following table summarizes the common stock equivalents excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per since the inclusion of these shares would be anti-dilutive for the three and six months ended August 31, 2020 and 2019:

 

    2020     2019  
Stock options     -       1,440,000  
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock     66,666,667       66,666,667  
Convertible debt     14,500,000       12,000,000  
Total common shares to be issued     81,166,667       80,106,667  

 

F-7
 

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk include cash deposits placed with financial institutions. The Company maintains its cash in bank accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits as guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). At August 31, 2020, $0 of the Company’s cash balances was uninsured. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The standard replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses on instruments within its scope, including trade receivables. This update is intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses. The effective date of ASU No. 2016-13 will be the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal 2022 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company does not expect the adoption of any other recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Overview

 

The Company underwent a change of control in July 2017, when Patrick Norris, and his affiliate JBB Partners (“JBB”) acquired the majority of ownership of the Company and provided loans and equity funding for the oil/gas mineral rights purchases and covering the operational expenses of Company.

 

The Company will, from time to time, seek strategic investors and other funding to help it develop additional exploration and acquisition projects located within the Bend Arch-Fort Worth Basin and other prime acquisition targets in the Central West, South and East Texas.

 

THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY IS IN A SUBSTANTIAL DOWNTURN DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.

 

Our business and operations have been adversely affected by and are expected to continue to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and the public health response.

 

As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak and the adverse public health developments, including voluntary and mandatory quarantines, travel restrictions and other restrictions, our operations, and those of our subcontractors, customers and suppliers, have experienced and are anticipated to continue to experience delays or disruptions and temporary suspensions of operations. In addition, our financial condition and results of operations have been and are likely to continue to be adversely affected by the coronavirus outbreak.

 

The timeline and potential magnitude of the COVID-19 outbreak and its consequences are currently unknown. The continuation or amplification of this virus could continue to more broadly affect the United States and global economy, including the demand for oil and gas.

  

The Company has experienced the effects of a negatively impacted domestic and international demand for crude oil and natural gas, which has contributed to price volatility, impacted the price we receive for oil and natural gas, and has materially and adversely affected the demand for and marketability of our production. For the Company, this means that our production may have to be shut-in for some of our wells at any point in time and we may hold, or continue to store some, or all of our oil production as inventory to be sold at a later date because to date we have refused to accept a loss price for our production. Our 2020 fiscal year end was negatively impacted by the pandemic response, and the negative impact of the pandemic was continued to be experienced in the first quarter of the 2021 fiscal year. In the second quarter of the 2021 fiscal year, there was some recovery in oil prices and production from the previous quarter. Nevertheless, at this time, we continue to expect that our financial results for the full fiscal year to be adversely impacted by the existence of and the government response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Our Business Strategy

 

We are an Exploration and Production (“E&P”) oil and natural gas company that focuses on the acquisition, development, and exploration of crude oil and natural gas properties in Texas. The Company is currently managed by business and oil and gas exploration veterans who specialize in the oil and gas acquisition and exploration markets of the Central West Texas region. The Company’s goal is to tap into the high potential leases of the Central West Texas region of the United States, aiming to unlock its potential, specifically in the prolific Bend Arch-Fort Worth region. This area is approximately 120 miles long and 40 miles wide running from Archer County, Texas in the north to Brown County, Texas in the south. The Company is also looking at other acquisition opportunities in the Permian Basin, West Texas, East Texas and South Texas region.

Management believes that focusing on the development of existing small producing fields is one of the key differentiators of the Company. Oil and natural gas reserve development is a technologically oriented industry. Management believes that the use of current technology has greatly increased the success rate of finding commercial oil or natural gas deposits. In this context, success means the ability to make an oil/gas well that produces a commercialized quantity of hydrocarbons. In general, the Company expects to conduct 3D Seismic surveys to determine more accurate drilling locations and drilling depths beside its initial georadiometry technology application via its last 10 drilling projects. For short-term cash flow enhancement, the Company plans to seek large-reserve oil and gas properties with low production to acquire at the lowest cost possible and then implement effective Enhanced Oil Recovery (“EOR”) methods to improve its current revenues and assets. For long-term cash flow enhancement, the Company plans to identify larger and more mature production opportunities while selecting capital and strategic operating partners to buyout via the Company’s strategic joint venture partnerships, thus significantly increasing production via additional drilling and its EOR implementations.

 

We plan to execute the following business strategies:

 

Develop and Grow Our Hydrocarbon Resource Acreage Positions Using Outside Development Expertise. We plan to continue to seek and acquire niche assets in hydrocarbon-rich resource plays to improve our asset quality and expand our drilling inventory. We plan to leverage our management team’s expertise and apply the latest available EOR technologies to economically develop our existing property portfolio in Central West and East Texas in addition to any assets in other regions we may acquire. We operate the majority of our acreage, thus giving us certain control over the planning of capital expenditures, execution and cost reduction. Our operational plan allows us to adjust our capital spending based on drilling results and the economic environment. As a small producer, we regionally evaluate industry drilling results to implement simple yet effective operating practices which may increase our initial production rates, ultimate recovery factors and rate of return on invested capital.

 

Acquire Small Producing Companies with Compelling Underlying Values. We identify acquisition opportunities of exploration and production companies with underlying assets to unlock the development potential and accelerate production using new technologies and capital infusion from capital partners.

 

Our operation strategy is to identify “niche” hydrocarbon land leases in Texas with studies to develop reserves via drilling or re-entering existing low production wells to increase production and enhance valuation of our production assets. We also plan to position the Company by growing our management team with added petroleum experts in the United States to partner up with other oil and gas players once we have established our business to positive cash flow from our existing presence in the Texas oil field markets.

 

Our management’s time in the petroleum markets and our ability to contract experienced geology expertise, allows us to identify and secure acreage with potential reserves. Management believes that the Company’s near-term prospects as a public company could become attractive, even if our current business is still small and at a risky stage of transition and development.

 

Our Competitive Strengths

 

Management believes that we have a number of competitive strengths that will allow us to successfully execute our business strategies:

 

Simple Capital Structure. We have a simple capital structure and de-risked inventory of quality locations with what we believe is upside potential to take advantage of the current recovery of oil prices to acquire potential production at reasonable cost. Management believes there are opportunities for profits to be made now that oil prices appear to have stabilized and if they continue to gradually rise higher.

 

Moderate Risk Exploration Practice. Unlike many major oil companies that often drill very deep wells with a high degree of risk, we focus on shallow well exploration (sub 5,000 feet) that is less expensive and has lower risk factors. The basis for management’s belief that the wells that can be drilled in the prospective leases and will have the capacity to produce a reasonable amount of hydrocarbon is due to our recent studies of the general areas where we are prospecting the projects. That is our most important exploration practice.

 

Under The Radar Asset Base. Management believes our local West Texas E&P team has a special talent in acquiring local “prime time” hydrocarbon land leases with sub-300 barrels of oil per day (“bopd”) wells that have large hydrocarbon reserves. Management believes that these “under the radar” prospective leases have multi-year drilling inventory and reasonable production history with high upside potential and not readily accessible to the public for auctions, thus adding to our competitive advantage on these “under the radar” opportunities. It is because management also believes that these highly valuable leases are not economically justifiable for the major oil and gas companies in the region because such companies need the wells they drill to produce at least 300 barrels (“Bbls”) of oil per day per well.

 

Technologies

 

Oil and natural gas reserve development is a technologically oriented industry; many techniques developed by the industry are now used in other industries, including the space program. Management believes that technological innovations have made it possible for the oil and natural gas industry to furnish the fuels that power the world economy. Management also believes that technology has greatly increased the success rate of finding commercial oil or natural gas deposits. In this context, success rate means the ability to make an oil/gas well that can produce a commercialized quantity of hydrocarbon.

 

At NRIS, we focus on core basic field EOR management practices and contract outside experts to provide us the understanding of complex mineralogy in shale reservoirs to better determine zones prone to fracture stimulation. This technology can suggest where to frack by providing us with available data to deliver us a greater chance of success. Our field engineers, geologists and petrophysicists work together for better drilling decisions.

Sales Strategy

 

Our sales strategy in relation to spot pricing will be to produce less when the sales price is lower and produce more when the sales price is higher. To maintain the lowest production cost, we will aim to have our inventory be as low as possible, in some instances virtually zero. Our E&P core team has business relationships with BML, Transport Oil, and Lion Oil Trading & Transportation, for oil sales and WTG Jameson for gas sales. The Company entered into production agreements with BML, Lion Oil and WTG Jameson so that, as our tier 1 buyer, they can handle pick-up and sales of our crude oil stock to refineries and gas via local gas pipelines.

 

As such, crude oil will be picked up from our leases as needed during the calendar month. At the end of the month the crude total sales will be tallied by lease and the 30-day average of the daily closing of oil will be tabulated. On or about the 25th of the following month the proceeds checks will be issued to the financial parties of record.

 

Operational Plans

 

Overall, we seek to acquire on a selective basis, oil and gas reserve concessions with existing production. To maintain our operations and complete any acquisitions we intend to raise capital via equity or debt, be this from our control owner, or other third-party financing sources, including the capital markets. The Company is still in the process of assessing the wells it holds, or recently acquired and is reviewing its options to make improvements in the future to address underperformance.

 

The Company shifted its E&P plan on regional acquisition(s) to a focus in the North Texas and Outside of Permian Basin region. This region has been producing oil continuously for nearly 100 years and the U.S. Geological Survey (“USGS”) has recently announced that this region has the largest estimate of continuous oil production that it has ever assessed. Our area of interest is production locations in Texas but outside of the Texas Permian Basin market where property prices are too high for a smaller player as a result of USGS estimates that there are 20 billion barrels of undiscovered, technically recoverable oil.

 

As result of COVID-19 the Company will likely take a pause on any new drilling activity until such time has elapsed that energy prices have stabilized. If the Company does review any acquisitions it will follow model which is based on a concept that has been proven in the past to be an effective and successful path of development for many other well- known E&P players:

 

  a) The financed acquisition of mature smaller oil fields that have potential for instituting EOR incremental production processes; and
     
  b) Develop strategic partnerships with existing operators to share production increases garnered through the implementation of this EOR plan.

 

The Company has plans to curtail its operating budget for each wells to basic maintenance and does not plan any new drill programs in the current fiscal year.

The decrease in losses was primarily related to lower operating expenses incurred from the Company’s oil and gas properties as a result of reduction in lease operating expenses in response to curtailing of production due to low energy prices and general cost cutting measures during the current period.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of August 31, 2020, the Company had cash on-hand of $91,181.

 

Net cash used by operating activities during the six months ended August 31, 2020 was $274,100, compared to cash used in operating activities of $354,044 for the same period in 2019. The decrease was mainly related to lower operating expenses incurred from the Company’s oil and gas properties as a result of reduction in lease operating expenses in response to curtailing of production due to low energy prices and general cost cutting measures during the current period compared to the prior year’s period.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for six months ended August 31, 2020 was $207,200, related to proceeds of $200,000 from the Company’s line of credit with JBB and proceeds of $7,200 from a collection of subscription receivable, compared to cash provided by financing activities of $550,000 for the same period in 2019, related to proceeds from the Company’s line of credit with JBB.

 

The Company will seek capital from various third party sources and to the extent necessary from its officers and significant stockholders, from time to time. There is no assurance that it will be able to obtain financing of any amount or of any specific nature. If obtained the terms may have restrictive covenants or obligations that will be difficult to meet or may be too onerous for the Company to accept. Any financing accepted by the Company may have a dilutive effect on the outstanding equity of the Company and may restrict the payment of dividends.

 

The Company currently has a secured, convertible note entered into effective December 28, 2017, which is secured by all the assets of the Company. The note is issued to an affiliate of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and the holder of the note is a controlling majority shareholder of the Company. The existence of the notes, as well as the security interest, may limit the opportunity to raise financing that requires a security interest or would suffer dilution because of the convertibility of the notes. Additionally, the note is convertible into shares of common stock of the Company, which if converted will cause a substantial dilution to the equity of the outstanding Common Stock. On February 26, 2018, the note holder converted its prior note for $750,000, that was due July 28, 2018, into 1,000,000 Series A Preferred Stock. The note for $1,550,000 was extended to September 30, 2020 from the original due date of December 28, 2018.

 

On June 26, 2018 and May 21, 2019, the Company and JBB entered into modifications of the existing Secured Promissory Note originally dated December 28, 2017 (“Loan Note”), to add provisions to permit the Company to obtain advances under the Loan Note up to a maximum of $1,000,000 and extend the maturity dates. The Company may request an advance in an amount of $100,000 no more frequently than every 30 days, provided that it provides a description of the use of proceeds for the advance reasonably acceptable to JBB, and the Company is not otherwise in default of the Loan Note. The Company received advances under the line of credit of $200,000 during the three months ended May 31, 2019. On October 1, 2019, the Company entered into another amendment of its Loan Note with JBB to increase the line of credit by an additional $500,000, for a total of $1,500,000, and extend the maturity date for the original note and line of credit to December 31, 2020. On May 29, 2020, the Company entered into an extension agreement with JBB to extend the maturity of its outstanding Loan Note to September 30, 2021.

 

On June 13, 2019, JBB lent the Company $250,000 under a secured promissory note. The funds were used to acquire the remaining working interest in the Marshall Walden oil and gas property from Odyssey Enterprises LLC. The loan has an interest rate of 5% per annum, a maturity date of June 30, 2022, and is secured by all assets of the Company. The loan is convertible into the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of $0.20 per common share

 

The original loan amount and the advances are secured by all the assets of the Company and are convertible into common stock of the Company at the rate of $0.20 per share, subject to adjustment for any reverse and forward stock splits. The Loan Note may be repaid at any time, without penalty, however, any advance that is repaid before maturity may not be re-borrowed as a further advance.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of August 31, 2020, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303 (a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act of 1934.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, which in our case is the same individual. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of August 31, 2020 (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the Evaluation Date, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the identification of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that were disclosed in Item 9A. Controls and Procedures in our 2020 annual report on Form 10-K in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the six months ended August 31, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

We are not currently involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. 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 companies or our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

You should carefully consider the risk factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 15, 2020 (the “2020 10-K”), together with all of the other information included in this report, before investing in our common stock. Those risks and uncertainties encompass many of the risks that could affect our business and the value of our stock. Not all risks and uncertainties are described. Risks that we do not know about could occur and issues we now view as minor could become more important. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
