NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Description of Business
Atlas Lithium Corporation (together with its subsidiaries “Atlas Lithium,” the “Company,” the “Registrant,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, on December 15, 2011. The Company changed its management and business on December 18, 2012, to focus on mineral exploration in Brazil.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), consistent in all material respects with those applied in our 2025 Form 10-K, and are expressed in United States dollars. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our 2025 Form 10-K. For the period ended March 31, 2026 the condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company; (i) its 100% owned subsidiary Atlas Lithium Limited and its subsidiary Atlas Litio Brasil Ltda (“Atlas Brazil”); (ii) its 100% owned subsidiary Athena Mineral Resources Corporation and its subsidiary Athena Litio Ltda; (iii) its 100% owned subsidiary Brazil Mineral Resources Corporation and its subsidiary Atlas Recursos Minerais; (iv) its 20.26% equity interest in Atlas Critical Minerals Corporation (“Atlas Critical Minerals”) and its subsidiaries Mineração Apollo Ltda. (“Apollo”), Mineração Duas Barras Ltda. (“MDB”), RST Recursos Minerais Ltda. (“RST”) and Mineração Jupiter Ltda. We have concluded that Atlas Critical Minerals and its subsidiaries are variable interest entities (“VIE”) in accordance with applicable accounting standards and guidance. As such, the accounts and results of Atlas Critical Minerals and their subsidiaries have been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Business Segment
The Company has one reportable segment: mining. The mining segment is composed of several mining projects, being all of them located in Brazil. Currently the Company has projects in development phase, with special focus on our project in the vicinity of Araçuaí, Minas Gerais, Brazil (the “Neves Project”).
The accounting policies of the mining segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.
The chief operating decision maker (CODM) of the mining segment is the Company’s chief executive officer. The CODM regularly reviews the revenue, significant expenses categories – including exploration and evaluation costs and capitalized expenses – and general and administrative expenses. The significant expenses (including capitalized expenses) on which the CODM relies are those that are reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Total segment assets as of March 31, 2026, were $87,446,641, primarily consisting of cash and cash equivalents, mineral rights, capitalized exploration and evaluation costs and equipment acquisitions for the Neves Project.
All of the long-lived assets are located in Brazil and for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, revenues were exclusively generated by the Company’s Iron ore project. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, the Company had one customer accounting for 100% of the Company’s revenue. The other mining projects are in exploration phase.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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 contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates.
Foreign Currency
Until December 31, 2025, with the exception of Atlas Litio Brasil Ltda (“Atlas Brazil”), our foreign subsidiaries (all based in Brazil) used a local currency (Brazilian Reais) as the functional currency. Resulting translation gains or losses were recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company determined that, as of January 1, 2026, the U.S. dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Brazilian subsidiaries operate.
Effective January 1, 2026, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries changed their functional currency from Brazilian Reais to U.S. Dollars due to a shift in the underlying economic facts and circumstances affecting the subsidiaries’ operations and financing activities. In particular, our subsidiary Atlas Critical Minerals listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market and commenced trading on Nasdaq on January 9, 2026. As a result of such listing and the attendant access to U.S. capital markets, the U.S. Dollar is the primary currency through which we and our Brazilian subsidiaries expect to raise any additional capital.
In accordance with Accounting Standards Notification (“ASC”) 830, the change in functional currency was accounted for prospectively from the date of change. As a result:
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new pronouncements, other than those described in our 2025 Form 10-K, that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 2 – COMPOSITION OF CERTAIN FINANCIAL STATEMENT ITEMS
Property and Equipment
The following table sets forth the components of the Company’s property and equipment as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
SCHEDULE OF PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Exploration costs such as drilling, development and related costs are either classified as exploration and charged to operations as incurred, or capitalized, such as to assist with mine planning within a reserve area. Whether to capitalize an exploration cost or incur an expense also depends on whether the drilling or development costs relate to an ore body that has been determined to be commercially mineable and whether the expenditure relates to a probable future benefit to be generated singly or in combination with other assets. The basis of the mineral interest is amortized on a units-of-production basis.
Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses

NOTE 2 – COMPOSITION OF CERTAIN FINANCIAL STATEMENT ITEMS (CONTINUED)
Leases
Finance Leases
For the reporting period ended March 31, 2026, no financial leases meeting the criteria outlined in ASC 842 have been identified.
Operating Leases
Right of use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. When the rate implicit to the lease cannot be readily determined, we utilize our incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of the future lease payments. The ROU asset includes any lease payments made and lease incentives received prior to the commencement date. Operating lease ROU assets also include any cumulative prepaid or accrued rent when the lease payments are uneven throughout the lease term. The ROU assets and lease liabilities may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. The ROU assets and lease liabilities are primarily related to the Company’s offices in Belo Horizonte and Araçuaí, as well as facilities for drilling core storage leased from third parties.
The lease agreements have terms between 2two to five years, with the possibility of extending one of the leases for an additional two years and another for an additional 12 months. The liability was measured at the present value of the lease payments discounted using interest rates with a weighted average rate of 6.5% which was determined to be our incremental borrowing rate. The continuity of the lease liabilities is presented in the table below:
SCHEDULE OF OPERATING LEASE LIABILITY
The maturity of the lease liabilities (contractual undiscounted cash flows) is presented in the table below:
SCHEDULE OF MATURITY OF THE LEASE LIABILITIES
Convertible Debt
SCHEDULE OF CONVERTIBLE DEBT
On November 7, 2023, we entered into a convertible note purchase agreement (the “November 2023 Convertible Note Agreement”) with an entity controlled by Mr. Martin Rowley and other investors to raise up to $20,000,000 in proceeds through the issuance of convertible promissory notes with the following key terms:
On November 7, 2023, we issued $10,000,000in convertible promissory notes under the terms of the November 2023 Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, and there were no other purchases and sales of the convertible promissory notes pursuant to the November 2023 Convertible Note Purchase Agreement. On the date of issuance, we received $10,000,000in cash proceeds and recorded (i) a $9,688,305convertible debt liability and (ii) a $311,695conversion feature derivative liability in our consolidated statement of financial position, as further disclosed below. In the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded $160,274in interest expense and $25,619in accretion expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss ($160,274and $25,619, in the three months ended March 31, 2025).
Derivative Liabilities
SCHEDULE OF DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
a) Derivative liability – embedded conversion feature on convertible debt
On November 7, 2023, the Company issued convertible promissory notes to Mr. Martin Rowley and other investors. In accordance with Financial Accounting and Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 815, the conversion feature of the convertible debt was determined to be an embedded derivative. As such, it was bifurcated from the host debt liability and was recognized as a derivative liability in the consolidated balance sheets. The derivative liability is measured at fair value through profit or loss.
On December 31, 2025, the fair value of the embedded conversion feature was determined to be $6,507 using a Black-Scholes collar option pricing model with the following assumptions:
SCHEDULE OF FAIR VALUE EMBEDDED CONVERSION PRICING MODEL ASSUMPTION
On March 31, 2026, the fair value of the embedded conversion feature was determined to be $1,864using a Black-Scholes collar option pricing model with the following assumptions:
4.350
72.516
3.73
In the Black-Scholes collar option pricing models, the expected volatilities were based on historical volatilities of the securities of the Company and its trading peers, and the risk-free interest rates were determined based on the prevailing rates at the grant date for U.S. Treasury Bonds with a term equal to the expected term of the instrument being valued.
In the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized a $4,643 gain on changes in fair value of financial instruments in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss ($41,633 in the three months ended March 31, 2025).
b) Derivative liability – other stock incentives
The employment agreement of Igor Tkachenko, a Vice President of the Company, dated September 30, 2023, provides for the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock based on us achieving certain market capitalization milestones. As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s obligations under this employment agreement contemplates the issuance of additional shares of the Company’s common stock in five tranches, each representing 0.2% of the Company’s common stock outstanding at the time of vesting, with an expiry date of December 31, 2026 and market vesting conditions as follows:
In accordance with FASB ASC 815, these RSU awards were classified as a liability, measured at fair value through profit or loss, and compensation expense is recognized over the expected term.
As at March 31, 2026, Tranche 3, Tranche 4, Tranche 5, Tranche 6 and Tranche 7 remain outstanding and unvested, and the total fair value of these outstanding rights to receive restricted stock was $7,214, as measured using a Monte Carlo Simulation with the following ranges of assumptions: the Company’s stock price on the March 31, 2026 measurement date of $4.35, expected dividend yield of 0%, expected annual volatility of 95.02%, risk-free interest rate of 3.7%, and an expected term of 9 months. The expected volatilities were based on historical volatilities of the securities of the Company and its trading peers, and the risk-free interest rates were determined based on the prevailing rates at the grant date for U.S. Treasury Bonds with a term equal to the expected term of the award being valued.
c) Derivative liability - Non-Deliverable Forward
Our Brazilian subsidiaries are exposed to foreign-currency exchange-rate fluctuations in the normal course of business because a portion of their expenses are paid in Brazilian reais (BRL). To mitigate this exposure, these subsidiaries utilize non-deliverable forward foreign-exchange contracts (“NDFs”), which are designed to offset changes in cash flows attributable to currency exchange movements.
The Company applies hedge accounting in accordance with U.S. GAAP (ASC 815). As a result, these derivative instruments are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, with the entire gain or loss on the derivative initially recorded in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). These amounts remain deferred in OCI and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same income statement line item as the hedged item when it affects earnings.
Atlas Lithium actively monitors the derivative portfolio of its subsidiaries on a monthly basis to assess financial results and cash flow implications. These contracts are used strictly for risk management purposes, and none of our Brazilian subsidiaries engage in speculative foreign-exchange transactions. Additionally, these contracts do not contain any credit-risk-related contingent features.
As of March 31, 2026, the fair value of outstanding NDF contracts was recorded as Derivative assets on the balance sheet.
For the period ended March 31, 2026:
The following table summarizes the non-deliverable forward foreign exchange contracts that remain open as of March 31, 2026:

NOTE 3 – DEFERRED OTHER INCOME
On May 2, 2023, the Company and Atlas Brazil entered into a Royalty Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Lithium Royalty Corp., a Canadian company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“LRC”). The transaction contemplated under the Purchase Agreement closed simultaneously on May 2, 2023, whereby Atlas Brazil sold to LRC in consideration for $20,000,000 in cash, a royalty interest equaling 3% of the gross revenue (the “Royalty”) to be received by Atlas Brazil from the sale of products from 19 mineral rights and properties that are located in Brazil and held by Atlas Brazil. Deferred income recognized will be charged to profit and loss on a units-of-sale basis in accordance with the sales of the spodumene produced in mineral rights objective of the Purchase Agreement.
On the same day, Atlas Brazil and LRC entered into a Gross Revenue Royalty Agreement (the “Royalty Agreement”) pursuant to which Atlas Brazil granted LRC the Royalty and undertook to calculate and make royalty payment on a quarterly basis commencing from the first receipt of the sales proceeds with respect to the products from the Property. The Royalty Agreement contains other customary terms, including but not limited to, the scope of the gross revenue, Atlas Brazil’s right to determine operations, and LRC’s information and audit rights.
NOTE 4 – OTHER NONCURRENT LIABILITIES

NOTE 8 – RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Currency Risk
The Company operates primarily in Brazil which exposes it to currency risks. The Company’s business activities may generate intercompany receivables or payables that are in a currency other than the functional currency of the Company. Changes in exchange rates from the time the activity occurs to the time payments are made may result in the Company receiving either more or less in local currency than the local currency equivalent at the time of the original activity.
NOTE 9 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In accordance with FASB ASC 855-10 Subsequent Events, we have analyzed our operations subsequent to March 31, 2026 to the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were issued, and we have determined that there are no material subsequent events to disclose in these condensed consolidated financial statements.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to those financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report and our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K”).
This Quarterly Report includes forward-looking statements that are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Item 1.A. of Part II of this Report that could cause actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. Additionally, our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any period in the future.
Overview
Atlas Lithium is a mineral exploration and development company with lithium projects and multiple lithium exploration properties. In addition, we own exploration properties in other battery minerals, including nickel, copper, rare earths, graphite, and titanium. Our current focus is the continued advancement of our hard-rock lithium project in Minas Gerais, Brazil toward active mining. The project is located within a well-known lithium-bearing pegmatitic district designated by the state government as “Lithium Valley.” We intend to mine and then process our lithium-containing ore to produce lithium concentrate (also known as spodumene concentrate), a key ingredient for the battery supply chain.
In 2025, we received our dense media separation lithium processing plant (the “DMS Plant”), which was designed to produce approximately 150,000 tons of lithium concentrate per annum (“tpa”). Our DMS Plant represents a cornerstone of our Neves Project, designed to deliver high-quality lithium concentrate to the global market for electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy storage systems. With worldwide lithium demand growing, we are positioned to emerge as a key contributor to the sustainable energy transition.
We believe that we hold the largest portfolio of exploration properties for lithium in Brazil among publicly listed companies.
Operational Update
During the first quarter of 2026, we continued to advance our flagship Neves Project toward production while achieving several important strategic and corporate milestones. Work items related to project implementation continued to progress, with particular emphasis on finalizing the project management framework that the Company will utilize to oversee construction execution and the coordination of third party service providers.
On April 27, 2026, we announced that four key operational partners had been selected for the implementation of the Neves Project after a process that lasted several months in which multiple qualified firms participated in a competitive selection process led by our technical team. Contracts were awarded based on a comprehensive evaluation of relevant criteria, including technical experience, proven performance, quality, and cost efficiency. Each awarded contract was finalized at or below the budget projections outlined in our Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS). Each of these four companies brings a strong track record of performance and deep experience in Brazil’s mining sector.
In addition to the key firms mentioned above, our technical team is rapidly advancing the selection of additional operational partners during the second quarter of 2026 for remaining scopes of the Neves Project implementation, as detailed in the DFS.
On January 9, 2026, the common stock of our subsidiary Atlas Critical Minerals Corporation (“Atlas Critical Minerals”) commenced trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol “ATCX,” which we announced by press release on January 14, 2026. Atlas Critical Minerals controls more than 218,000 hectares of mineral rights in Brazil, with projects in rare earths, titanium, graphite, uranium, including a revenue-generating iron ore operation that commenced shipments in late 2025. Atlas Lithium Corporation currently holds an approximate 20% ownership stake in Atlas Critical Minerals, which we believe provides our shareholders with diversified exposure to a broader portfolio of critical minerals while allowing our management team to maintain its focus on advancing the Neves Project. More details about Atlas Critical Minerals are available on its website at www.atlascriticalminerals.com and in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
On April 2, 2026, we announced that our 100%-owned Neves Project had been named in the Joint Fact Sheet for Japan-U.S. Critical Minerals Project Cooperation (the “Joint Fact Sheet”), released on March 20, 2026 by Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (“METI”) together with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan (“MOFA”). The Neves Project is the only Brazil-based lithium project named in the Joint Fact Sheet, which states that the Government of Japan and the Government of the United States are considering financial support for the purpose of development of the Neves Project. The Joint Fact Sheet followed the U.S.-Japan Critical Minerals Investment Ministerial held on March 14, 2026 in Tokyo, as well as the summit held between Japan’s Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi, and U.S. President, Donald Trump, on March 19, 2026. This recognition builds upon our existing strategic partnership with Mitsui & Co., Ltd., which made a US$30 million strategic investment in Atlas Lithium common shares in March 2024 and entered into an offtake agreement for the purchase of lithium concentrate from the Neves Project.
On April 7, 2026, we announced the appointment of Admiral Flávio Augusto Viana Rocha, a former Cabinet member of the Brazilian Government, to our board of directors as an independent director. Admiral Rocha is a distinguished Brazilian leader with over 43 years of experience in strategy, governance, logistics, and international relations, including official government missions to more than 50 countries. From 2020 to 2022, he held the Minister-level position of Chief of the Secretariat for Strategic Affairs of the Presidency of Brazil, where he led the development of Brazil’s National Long-Term Policy and National Strategic Agenda, including the National Energy Policy. We believe Admiral Rocha’s experience will be valuable as we continue to advance the Neves Project and strengthen our position within the global critical minerals landscape.
Market Update
Lithium market conditions continued to improve during the first quarter of 2026, supported by accelerating growth in the energy storage systems (“ESS”) segment — particularly for grid-scale applications and power for data centers — alongside continued robust demand for electric vehicles worldwide. These demand drivers were reinforced by ongoing supply disruptions, including production constraints impacting Chinese lepidolite operations and export restrictions affecting Zimbabwean spodumene producers, which together tightened global supply availability. These dynamics created a favorable backdrop for the continued improvement in lithium prices observed during the quarter. Consistent with this environment, we have received written indications of interest from several parties seeking to secure long-term supply arrangements for our future lithium concentrate production.
Results of Operations
The Three Months Ended March 31, 2026, compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026 totaled $16.5 million, compared to net loss of $10.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in net loss is mainly due to:
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $34.4 million and working capital of $21.9 million.
Net cash used by operating activities totaled $10.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to net cash used of $4.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, representing an increase of $6.2 million. The increase in net cash used by operating activities was mainly due to higher general and administrative expenses. See the section entitled “Results of Operations” above.
Net cash used by investing activities totaled $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to net cash used of $4.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, representing a decrease in cash used of $2.9 million. The increase is essentially driven by:
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $10.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $7.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, representing an increase in cash provided of $3.3 million. The increase is due to the following:
We have historically incurred net operating losses and have not yet generated material revenues from the sale of products or services. As a result, our primary sources of liquidity have been derived through proceeds from the sales of our equity and the equity of one of our subsidiaries. We believe our cash and equivalents will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for a period of at least twelve months from the date of these financial statements. However, our future short- and long-term capital requirements will depend on several factors, including but not limited to, the rate of our growth, our ability to identify areas for mineral exploration and the economic potential of such areas, the exploration and other drilling campaigns needed to verify and expand our mineral resources, the successful installation of our lithium processing facilities, and our ability to attract talent. To the extent that our current resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may need to seek additional equity or debt financing. If the needed financing is not available, or if the terms of financing are less desirable than we expect, we may be forced to scale back our existing operations and growth plans, which could have an adverse impact on our business and financial prospects and could raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We operate primarily in Brazil, which exposes us to currency risks. Our business activities may generate intercompany receivables or payables that are in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity. Changes in exchange rates from the time the activity occurs to the time payments are made may result in it receiving either more or less in local currency than the local currency equivalent at the time of the original activity.
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of American (“U.S. GAAP”). Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financial statements.
Until December 31, 2025, with the exception of Atlas Brazil, our foreign subsidiaries (all based in Brazil) used a local currency (Brazilian Reais) as the functional currency. Resulting translation gains or losses were recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company determined that, as of January 1, 2026, the U.S. dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Brazilian subsidiaries operate.
Effective January 1, 2026, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries changed their functional currency from Brazilian Reais to U.S. Dollars due to a shift in the underlying economic facts and circumstances affecting the subsidiaries’ operations and financing activities. In particular, our subsidiary Atlas Critical Minerals listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market and commenced trading on the Nasdaq on January 9, 2026. As a result of such listing and the attendant access to U.S. capital markets, the U.S. Dollar is the primary currency through which we and our Brazilian subsidiaries expect to raise any additional capital.
In accordance with ASC 830, the change in functional currency was accounted for prospectively from the date of change. As a result:

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has evaluated the design, operation, and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that as of March 31, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred in the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that materially affected, or would be reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations of the Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted pursuant to the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgement in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
