Brookmount Explorations Inc.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
May 31, 2009
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 NATURE OF CONTINUED OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Company is an exploration stage company. The Company is incorporated in Nevada and was organized for the purpose of acquiring, exploring and developing mineral properties. The recoverability of amounts from properties acquired will be dependent upon discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Companys interest in the underlying property, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to satisfy the expenditure requirements under the property agreement and to complete the development of the property and upon future profitable production.
In December 2006, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, Brookmount Peru SAC, in Peru. As at May 31, 2009, this subsidiary is inactive and has no assets or liabilities.
Going Concern
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has a working capital deficiency of $725,630 at May 31, 2009 (November 30, 2008 - $593,743) and has incurred losses since inception of $5,341,277 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its mineral properties raising substantial doubt as to the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising additional capital to fund ongoing exploration and development and ultimately on generating future profitable operations. Management plans to continue funding the Companys operations with advances, other debt sources and further equity placements.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulations S-X in the United States of America and are presented in United States dollars. They do not include all information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2008 included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with those consolidated financial statements included in Form 10-K. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the six months ended May 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending November 30, 2009.
Exploration Stage Company
The Company complies with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 7 its characterization of the Company as an exploration stage enterprise.
Mineral Property
The Company is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized in accordance with EITF 04-2 when management has determined that probable future benefits consisting of a contribution to future cash inflows, have been identified and adequate financial resources are available or are expected to be available as required to meet the terms of property acquisition and budgeted exploration and development expenditures.
Mineral property acquisition costs are expensed as incurred if the criteria for capitalization is not met. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property are capitalized. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company has incurred only acquisition and exploration costs which have been expensed. To date the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral properties.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation
The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation, foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into their United States dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the year. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments are recorded at fair value in accordance with FASB Statement No. 157.
Environmental Costs
Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of completion of a feasibility study or the Companys commitments to plan of action based on the then known facts.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences). The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
At May 31, 2009 a full deferred tax asset valuation allowance has been provided and no deferred tax asset benefit has been recorded.
Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Dilutive loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of the Company. Because the Company does not have any potentially dilutive securities, basic loss per share is equal to dilutive loss per share.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options. Accordingly no stock-based compensation has been recorded to date.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. This Statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling (minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, that SFAS No. 160 will have on its financial statements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Companys fiscal year beginning December 1, 2009. Management has determined that the accounting standard will have no effect on the Company.
On December 4, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141R). SFAS No. 141R requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, establishes the acquisition date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and requires the acquirer to expand disclosures about the nature and financial effect of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We have not yet determined the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 141R on our financial statements and footnote disclosures.
In April 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (FSP FAS 142-3) which amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (FAS No. 142). FSP FAS 142-3 applies to intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of assets and intangible assets acquired in both business combinations and asset acquisitions. It removes a provision under FAS No. 142, requiring an entity to consider whether a contractual renewal or extension clause can be accomplished without substantial cost or material modifications of the existing terms and conditions associated with the asset. Instead, FSP FAS 142-3 requires that an entity consider its own experience in renewing similar arrangements. An entity would consider market participant assumptions regarding renewal if no such relevant experience exists. FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for year ends beginning after December 15, 2008 with early adoption prohibited We have not yet determined the effect, if any, of the adoption of this statement on our financial condition or results of operations.
In June 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FSP No. EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted In Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities (FSP EITF 03-6-1). FSP EITF 03-6-1 concludes that unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities, and thus, should be included in the two-class method of computing earnings per share (EPS). FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. Early application of EITF 03-06-1 is prohibited. It also requires that all prior-period EPS data be adjusted retrospectively. We have not yet determined the effect, if any, of the adoption of this statement on our financial condition or results of operations
In March 2009, FASB unanimously voted for the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification) to be effective beginning on July 1, 2009. Other than resolving certain minor inconsistencies in current GAAP, the Codification is not supposed to change GAAP, but is intended to make it easier to find and research GAAP applicable to particular transactions or specific accounting issues. The Codification is a new structure which takes accounting pronouncements and organizes them by approximately ninety accounting topics. Once approved, the Codification will be the single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP. All guidance included in the Codification will be considered authoritative at that time, even guidance that comes from what is currently deemed to be a non-authoritative section of a standard. Once the Codification becomes effective, all non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, "Determining Fair Value When Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly" (FSP 157-4). FSP 157-4 provides guidance on how to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities when the volume and level of activity for the asset/liability
has significantly decreased. FSP 157-4 also provides guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. In addition, FSP 157-4 requires disclosure in interim and annual periods of the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques. We have not yet determined the effect, if any, of the adoption of this statement on our financial condition or results of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment (FSP 115-2/124-2). FSP 115-2/124-2 amends the requirements for the recognition and measurement of other-than-temporary impairments for debt securities by modifying the pre-existing intent and ability indicator. Under FSP 115-2/124-2, another-than-temporary impairment is triggered when there is an intent to sell the security, it is more likely than not that the security will be required to be sold before recovery, or the security is not expected to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. Additionally, FSP 115-2/124-2 changes the presentation of another-than-temporary impairment in the income statement for those impairments involving credit losses. The credit loss component will be recognized in earnings and the remainder of the impairment will be recorded in other comprehensive income. FSP 115-2/124-2 is effective for us beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. Upon implementation at the beginning of the second quarter of 2009, FSP 115-2/124-2 is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. FSP SFAS No. 107-1 and APB 28-1 enhances consistency in financial reporting by increasing the frequency of fair value disclosures. The FSP relates to fair value disclosures for any financial instruments that are not currently reflected a companys balance sheet at fair value. Prior to the effective date of this FSP, fair values for these assets and liabilities have only been disclosed once a year. The FSP will now require these disclosures on a quarterly basis, providing qualitative and quantitative information about fair value estimates for all those financial instruments not measured on the balance sheet at fair value. The disclosure requirement under this FSP is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and early adoption is permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009.

NOTE 3 ADVANCES
On May 13, 2005, the Company signed a Letter of Agreement with a private corporation Jemma Resources Corp. (Jemma) to acquire 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Jemma. Significant terms contained in the Letter of Agreement were the appointment of two of Jemmas directors to the Companys board of directors, Jemma completing a debt financing of $15 million, the Companys right to elect not to proceed with the transaction resulting in all advances made to Jemma by the Company being refundable, and the replacement of the Letter of Agreement with a binding contract. The purchase price consisted of 3,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company, 3,000,000 share purchase warrants at $1.50 per warrant exercisable within 24 months from the date of the agreement and approximately CDN $75,000 in refundable advances to secure an extension for the option to purchase a mineral property and for operating costs. During May 2005 two directors of Jemma were appointed to the Companys board of directors. During the year ended November 30, 2005, the Company advanced $43,617 (CDN $54,400) pursuant to the Letter of Agreement. At November 30, 2005 the Letter of Agreement had not been replaced by a binding contract and Jemma had not raised the debt financing as contemplated in the Letter of Agreement. Accordingly the Companys management decided not to proceed with this transaction. The decision was as a result of the Companys due diligence and Jemmas inability to raise the agreed financing. As a result, the advances totaling $43,617 became refundable pursuant to the terms of the Letter of Agreement. As of May 31, 2009, the Company has not received the funds from Jemma. Due to delays in collecting this advance the Company has fully provided against this advance during the year ended November 30, 2006.
During the year ending November 30, 2006, $150,000 was withdrawn from the Companys bank account by a former director of the Company. The former director was not an authorized signatory on the Companys bank account and had not been granted any such authority to withdraw the funds by the Companys Board of Directors. Upon completion of an investigation, the Company determined that the former director had not used the funds for corporate purposes. The Company took legal action against the former director in an effort to recover the $150,000. As a result, the Supreme Court of British Columbia ordered the former director to pay the Company a sum of USD $173,700 plus accrued interest of USD $5,341 and legal costs of $20,959. The sum of $200,000 was received by the Company in May 2008 and included in other income.
On June 29, 2006, a former director of the Company commenced legal action against the Company and its director. The former director claimed damages in excess of $5,000,000 for alleged breach of contract, libel, fraud, intentional deceit, wrongful conduct and emotional distress. On February 12, 2007 the United States District Court issued a notice of dismissal. The legal action against the Company was dismissed in its entirety.
NOTE 4 MINERAL PROPERTIES
Brookmount Claims, Abitibi West County, Quebec, Canada
During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company acquired five mineral claims located in the Chazel Township, in the Province of Quebec for $47,779. At November 14, 2006, the mineral claims lapsed and the Company chose not to renew them as the claims did not appear to be promising.

This document includes statements that may constitute forward-looking statements made pursuant to the Safe Harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 . We caution readers regarding certain forward-looking statements in this document, press releases, securities filings, and all other documents and communications. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding industry prospects and future results of operations or financial position, made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (" Report ") are forward looking. The words " believes ," " anticipates ," " estimates ," " expects ," and words of similar import, constitute " forward-looking statements ." While we believe in the veracity of all statements made herein, forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by us, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies and known and unknown risks. As a result of such risks, our actual results could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, our company. We will not necessarily update information if any forward-looking statement later turns out to be inaccurate. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including risks and uncertainties set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as in other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (" SEC ").
The following information has not been audited. You should read this information in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and related notes to the financial statements included in this report.
Plan of Operations
Our plan of operations for the near future is to complete a secondary exploration program on the Mercedes 100 property. We anticipate that this program will cost approximately $250,000.
In addition, we anticipate spending $60,000 on professional fees, $120,000 on management fees, $120,000 on consulting fees, $40,000 on travel costs, $40,000 on promotional expenses and $40,000 on other administrative expenses in the next 12 months.
Total expenditures over the next 12 months are therefore expected to be $670,000. We will not be able to proceed with either exploration program, or meet our administrative expense requirements, without additional financing.
We will require additional funding in order to proceed with exploration on the Mercedes 100 property and to cover administrative expenses. We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock or from director loans. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing or loans.
We are the beneficial owner of a 100% interest in the Mercedes 100 property, consisting of six mineral claims, as follows:
Claim Name | Claim Number | Claim Area (Hectares) |
Mercedes 100 | C-08020145X011 | 450.00 |
Celeste | C-010151600 | 298.84 |

Nuevo Herraje Cuatro | C-010154100 | 996.96 |
Nueva Charo | C-010051101 | 446.93 |
Subsequently we acquired the Confienza Claim (C-010079806) consisting of 500 hectares at the Mercedes 100 property.
On May 25, 2006, we entered into an option agreement (the Agreement) to acquire an option to purchase 100% of the issued share capital of 722161 B.C. Ltd (722161 BC) on the following terms:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. This Statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling (minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, that SFAS No. 160 will have on its financial statements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Companys fiscal year beginning December 1, 2009. Management has determined that the accounting standard will have no effect on the Company.
On December 4, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141R). SFAS No. 141R requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, establishes the acquisition date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and requires the acquirer to expand disclosures about the nature and financial effect of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We have not yet determined the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 141R on our financial statements and footnote disclosures.
In April 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (FSP FAS 142-3) which amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (FAS No. 142). FSP FAS 142-3 applies to intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of assets and intangible assets acquired in both business combinations and asset acquisitions. It removes a provision under FAS No. 142, requiring an entity to consider whether a contractual renewal or extension clause can be accomplished without substantial cost or material modifications of the existing terms and conditions associated with the asset. Instead, FSP FAS 142-3 requires that an entity consider its own experience in renewing similar arrangements. An entity would consider market participant assumptions regarding renewal if no such relevant experience exists. FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for year ends beginning after December 15, 2008 with early adoption prohibited We have not yet determined the effect, if any, of the adoption of this statement on our financial condition or results of operations.
In June 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FSP No. EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted In Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities (FSP EITF 03-6-1). FSP EITF 03-6-1 concludes that unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities,

and thus, should be included in the two-class method of computing earnings per share (EPS). FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. Early application of EITF 03-06-1 is prohibited. It also requires that all prior-period EPS data be adjusted retrospectively. We have not yet determined the effect, if any, of the adoption of this statement on our financial condition or results of operations
In March 2009, FASB unanimously voted for the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification) to be effective beginning on July 1, 2009. Other than resolving certain minor inconsistencies in current GAAP, the Codification is not supposed to change GAAP, but is intended to make it easier to find and research GAAP applicable to particular transactions or specific accounting issues. The Codification is a new structure which takes accounting pronouncements and organizes them by approximately ninety accounting topics. Once approved, the Codification will be the single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP. All guidance included in the Codification will be considered authoritative at that time, even guidance that comes from what is currently deemed to be a non-authoritative section of a standard. Once the Codification becomes effective, all non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, "Determining Fair Value When Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly" (FSP 157-4). FSP 157-4 provides guidance on how to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities when the volume and level of activity for the asset/liability has significantly decreased. FSP 157-4 also provides guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. In addition, FSP 157-4 requires disclosure in interim and annual periods of the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques. We have not yet determined the effect, if any, of the adoption of this statement on our financial condition or results of operations.
Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.
Item 4:
Controls and Procedures
Management of our company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as required by Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Section 404 A. Our company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of our company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our company's financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our company's internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, he concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal control over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our company's management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack
7
of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on our company's board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (3) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (4) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our company's Chief Financial Officer in connection with the audit of our financial statements as of November 30, 2008 and communicated the matters to our management.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2), (3) and (4) above did not have an effect on our company's financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on our company's board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures can result in our company's determination to its financial statements for the future years.
We are committed to improving our financial organization. As part of this commitment, we will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to our company: i) Appointing one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to the audit committee of our company resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; and ii) Preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists which will set forth procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.
Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our company's Board. In addition, management believes that preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists will remedy the following material weaknesses (i) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (ii) ineffective controls over period end financial close and reporting processes. Further, management believes that the hiring of additional personnel who have the technical expertise and knowledge will result in proper segregation of duties and provide more checks and balances within the department. Additional personnel will also provide the cross training needed to support our company if personnel turn over issues within the department occur. This coupled with the appointment of additional outside directors will greatly decrease any control and procedure issues our company may encounter in the future.
We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.
Management's report is not subject to attestation by our company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
