Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
 
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form

-Q and Article

of Regulation S-

Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements include all adjustments necessary (which are of a normal and recurring nature) for the fair and
not
misleading presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2018
included in the Annual Report on Form

-K filed by the Company with the SEC on
April 1, 2019 (
the “Annual Report”), as amended. The accompanying
December 31, 2018,
balance sheet was derived from our audited financial statements included in the Annual Report. The results of operations for any interim periods are
not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year.
