NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation – On February 13, 2012, Acquired Sales Corp. (“Acquired Sales” or the “Company”) purchased 100% of the equity interests of Defense & Security Technology Group, Inc. (“DSTG”). On September 30, 2013 Acquired Sales sold 100% of the capital stock of DSTG to Minh Le, the previous owner of DSTG prior to its acquisition. DSTG’s results of operations have been included in the Company's operations from February 14, 2012 through September 30, 2013 and have been reclassified as discontinued operations.
On January 12, 2013, Acquired Sales entered into an agreement with Drumright Group, LLC (“Drumright”) that was closed on February 11, 2013, wherein Acquired Sales sold 100% of the capital stock of Cogility Software Corporation (“Cogility”) to Drumright. The historical results of Cogility’s results of operations have been reclassified as discontinued operations.
Condensed Financial Statements – The accompanying financial statements are condensed and do not include all disclosures normally required by generally accepted accounting principles. These statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements included in Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2014. In particular, the nature of operations and significant accounting principles were presented in Note 1 to the annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and consist of only normal recurring adjustments, except as disclosed herein. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2014.
Principles of Consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of Acquired Sales for all periods presented, the accounts and discontinued operations of Cogility Software Corporation through February 11, 2013 and the accounts and discontinued operations of Defense & Security Technology Group, Inc. from February 14, 2012 through September 30, 2013. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share – Basic earnings (loss) per common share is determined by dividing earnings (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing earnings (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. When dilutive, the incremental potential common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants are determined by the treasury stock method. The following table summarizes the calculations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

There were 2,148,774 employee stock options and 938,000 warrants outstanding during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because their effects would have been anti-dilutive. There were 2,173,774 employee stock options and 938,000 warrants outstanding during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because their effects would have been anti-dilutive.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. This ASU is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 using one of two retrospective application methods. The Company has not determined the potential effects on the financial statements.
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-12, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718)-Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). ASU No. 2014-12 requires that a performance target that affects vesting and could be achieved after the requisite service period shall be treated as a performance condition. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2016. The Company has not determined the potential effects on the financial statements.
NOTE 2 - RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Company has a history of recurring losses, which has resulted in an accumulated deficit of $7,165,830 as of September 30, 2014. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recognized a loss of $214,278 from continuing operations. The Company used $201,312 of cash in its operating activities from continuing operations. The sale of Cogility and DSTG eliminated the Company’s source of revenue. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Company will not need

(UNAUDITED)
additional financing and, that the Company will be profitable in the future, as a result, there is substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3– NOTE RECEIVABLE
The William Noyes Webster Foundation, Inc. (the "Foundation"), a non-profit Massachusetts corporation, has received a provisional registration from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to own and operate a medical marijuana cultivation facility and dispensary in Barnstable County, Massachusetts. Jane W. Heatley ("Heatley") is the founder and a member of the board of directors of the Foundation.
On July 8, 2014, Acquired Sales Corp. ("AQSP") and Heatley agreed to use their respective best efforts, working exclusively together as a team, and not as a partnership or other entity, in order to consummate transactions, agreements, contracts and other arrangements pursuant to which AQSP will provide capital and expertise to the Foundation.
On July 14, 2014, the Foundation signed and delivered to AQSP a Secured Promissory Note (the "Note") which is in the stated loan amount of $1,500,000. The Note provides that the $1,500,000 loan may be advanced in one or more installments as the Foundation and AQSP may mutually agree upon. The Foundation and AQSP mutually agreed that the first installment of this loan would be $602,500. Pursuant to instructions from the Foundation, on July 14, 2014, AQSP paid $2,500 owed by the Foundation to one of its consultants, and AQSP advanced $600,000 directly to the Foundation. The amount and timing of subsequent loan installments under the Note, which could total $897,500, have not yet been mutually agreed upon between the Foundation and AQSP.
The principal balance outstanding under the Note will bears interest at the rate of 12.5% per annum, compounded monthly. The Company accrued $16,094 in interest under the note for the period ended September 30, 2014. The first payment of accrued interest by the Foundation under the Note shall be made as soon after the Foundation commences operations of its medical marijuana cultivation facility and dispensary as the Foundation's cash flows shall reasonably permit, but in any event no later than one year after the Foundation commences operations. The principal of the Note shall be payable in eight consecutive equal quarterly installments, commencing on the last day of the calendar quarter in which the Foundation commences operations. The Note is secured by, among other things, certain of the Foundation’s assets, as set out in a Security Agreement dated July 14, 2014.
NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On July 14, 2014, AQSP borrowed $300,000 from the Roberti Jacobs Family Trust (the "Trust"). The Trust is an affiliate of Gerard M. Jacobs, AQSP's Chief Executive Officer. The loan was repaid in full on August 5, 2014.

NOTE 7– SALE OF SUBSIDIARIES AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Cogility Software Corporation – On January 12, 2013, Acquired Sales entered into an agreement with Drumright Group, LLC (“Drumright”) that was closed on February 11, 2013, wherein Acquired Sales sold 100% of the capital stock of its subsidiary, Cogility Software Corporation (“Cogility”) to Drumright in exchange for $3,975,000 in cash and a $3,000,000 receivable. The $3,000,000 was originally receivable as follows: $1,500,000 on August 11, 2013, less an estimated $32,258 in connection with a certain military contract delay, and $1,500,000 on February 11, 2014. In addition, Acquired Sales was required to hold $300,000 in an escrow account for potential subsequent claims. Acquired Sales was responsible for all costs and expenses and retained all accounts receivable relating to work performed by Cogility on revenue contracts through January 31, 2013, with those costs, expenses and revenue transitioning to Drumright thereafter. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Cogility collected on an account receivable retained by Acquired Sales that had been deemed uncollectible in the amount of $74,605. The amount is recorded as an adjustment to the gain on sale. Acquired Sales retained

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
a contract to create “legal analytics” software. The carrying value of Cogility’s net liabilities, excluding accounts receivable, was $32,899.
Under the terms of the agreement, Acquired Sales was required to transfer Cogility to Drumright without any liabilities. To accomplish this requirement, the $3,975,000 down payment was placed into an escrow account and to the extent necessary was used to pay Cogility’s liabilities, including liabilities that were secured by Cogility’s assets or its capital stock.
The Company agreed to indemnify Drumright for losses caused by breach of the Company’s representations and warranties. In March 2013, Drumright notified the Company of the existence of a second amendment to a license agreement between Cogility and one of its customers that was effective April 2007. On July 16, 2013 the parties entered into a Compromise and Release agreement whereby the parties agreed to reduce the purchase price by $2,000,000 by reducing the $3,000,000 receivable to $1,000,000 due and paid on February 11, 2014. As a result of the Compromise and Release agreement, the Company recognized a gain on disposal of discontinued operations relating to the sale of Cogility of $5,007,899, of which $4,621,122 was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The historical results of Cogility’s operations have been reclassified to discontinued operations.
Defense & Security Technology Group, Inc. – Acquired Sales purchased 100% of the equity interests of Defense & Security Technology Group, Inc. (“DSTG”) on February 13, 2012. The results of DSTG’s operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements from February 14, 2012 through September 30, 2013.
On September 30, 2013 Acquired Sales sold 100% of the common stock of DSTG back to the previous shareholder for $1. The Company recognized a loss on sale of $104,946 during the year ended December 31, 2013, none of which was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The historical results of DSTG’s operations have been reclassified to discontinued operations.
Revenue and operating results of Cogility and DSTG included in discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

Overview
Acquired Sales Corp. is incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada.
On January 12, 2013, Acquired Sales entered into an agreement with Drumright Group, LLC (“Drumright”) that was closed on February 11, 2013, wherein Acquired Sales sold 100% of the capital stock of its subsidiary, Cogility Software Corporation (“Cogility”) to Drumright in exchange for $3,975,000 in cash and a $3,000,000 receivable. The $3,000,000 was originally receivable as follows: $1,500,000 on August 11, 2013, less an estimated $32,258 in connection with a certain military contract delay, and $1,500,000 on February 11, 2014. In addition, Acquired Sales was required to hold $300,000 in an escrow account for potential subsequent claims. Acquired Sales was responsible for all costs and expenses and retained all accounts receivable relating to work performed by Cogility on revenue contracts through January 31, 2013, with those costs, expenses and revenue transitioning to Drumright thereafter. Acquired Sales retained a contract to create “legal analytics” software. The carrying value of Cogility’s net liabilities, excluding accounts receivable, was $32,899.
Under the terms of the agreement, Acquired Sales was required to transfer Cogility to Drumright without any liabilities. To accomplish this requirement, the $3,975,000 down payment was placed into an escrow account and to the extent necessary was used to pay Cogility’s liabilities, including liabilities that were secured by Cogility’s assets or its capital stock.
The Company agreed to indemnify Drumright for losses caused by breach of the Company’s representations and warranties. In March 2013, Drumright notified the Company of the existence of a second amendment to a license agreement between Cogility and one of its customers that was effective April 2007. On July 16, 2013 the parties entered into a Compromise and Release agreement whereby the parties agreed to reduce the purchase price by $2,000,000 by reducing the $3,000,000 receivable to $1,000,000 due on February 11, 2014. As a result of the Compromise and Release agreement, the Company recognized a gain on disposal of discontinued operations relating to the sale of Cogility of $5,082,504, of which $4,621,122 was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
On February 13, 2012, Acquired Sales purchased 100% of the equity interests of Defense & Security Technology Group, Inc. (“DSTG”). The results of DSTG’s operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements from February 13, 2012 through September 30, 2013. On September 30, 2013 Acquired Sales sold 100% of the common stock of DSTG back to the previous shareholder for $1. The Company recognized a loss on sale of $104,946 during the year ended December 31, 2013, none of which was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
The Company is in discussions and/or negotiations to enter into transactions with a number of licensed medical marijuana growers and dispensaries in several jurisdictions where such activities are legal at the state level. No assurances or guarantees whatsoever can be made as to whether any of such transactions will be successfully consummated, nor on what terms.
If the Company does enter into transactions with one or more licensed medical marijuana growers and/or dispensaries, then it is highly likely that the Company will be required to raise a substantial amount of equity capital and/or debt capital in connection with those transactions, which could result in substantial dilution for existing shareholders of the Company. No assurances whatsoever can be made that such transactions would result in profitability of the Company, nor what the impacts would be on the Company's balance sheet, income statement, or stock price.
In addition, marijuana is classified as a controlled substance by the U.S. federal government, and any entrance by the Company into the medical marijuana industry may trigger material legal and financial risks for the Company. Under certain scenarios, these material legal and financial risks could result in a shutdown or bankruptcy of the Company.
This Form 10-Q does not attempt to describe all of the numerous material risks and uncertainties associated with any possible entrance by the Company into the medical marijuana industry. If the Company does enter into the medical marijuana industry, then shareholders and potential shareholders are expressly cautioned that such participation will entail such numerous material risks and uncertainties, and associated "Risk Factors" will need to be set forth in subsequent filings by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company cannot provide any assurances whatsoever in regard to the potential negative legal, regulatory, financial and operational risks to the Company associated with the potential entrance by the Company into the medical marijuana industry. You are urged to use caution in your evaluation of the Company's stock, and to seek the advice of competent legal and financial advisors in regard to the medical marijuana industry, which is currently in a state of rapid change and involves many variables, which are beyond the Company's control.
The Company further cautions you that as the recreational use of marijuana is permitted in certain states, that the medical marijuana industry is likely to be subjected to even more intense scrutiny and oversight by elected officials, legislative bodies, courts, law enforcement agencies, and community groups. The Company cannot provide any assurances whatsoever in regard to the future potential negative impacts of such intensified scrutiny and oversight.
The Company is also in discussions and/or negotiations with companies involved in various other industries, including but not limited to wastewater treatment and other industrial services, real estate ownership and development, and other industries.

At September 30, 2014 all the Company’s current assets consisted of cash from the sale of its subsidiaries and prepaid legal fees. Total current assets at September 30, 2014 of $686,072 are adequate to fund current operations and fulfill corporate obligations, but not enough to fund growth and potential acquisitions. Current liabilities at September 30, 2014 included $57,931 of accounts payable; accounts payable consist mainly of liabilities for professional fees and reimbursement expenses.
Comparison of September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 the Company incurred a loss from continuing operations of $230,372 mainly due to legal, contract labor and professional fees and reimbursement for expenses incurred by the Company’s President. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Cogility collected on an account receivable retained by Acquired Sales that had been deemed uncollectible in the amount of $74,605. The amount is recorded as an adjustment to the gain on sale of discontinued operations. The Company currently has no revenue generating subsidiaries and is in discussions and/or negotiations to enter into transactions with a number of licensed medical marijuana growers and dispensaries in several jurisdictions where such activities are legal at the state level, and with companies involved in other industries. No assurances or guarantees whatsoever can be made as to whether any of such transactions will be successfully consummated, nor on what terms.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recognized net income of $4,403,624, mainly due to a one-time gain on the sale of its subsidiary Cogility Software Corporation. The Company incurred a loss from continuing operations of $287,335 mainly due to legal and professional fees and loss from the extinguishment of debt. Income from discontinued operations of $4,621,122 included gain on sale of Cogility of $4,726,068. The Company greatly reduced its overhead costs with the sale of Cogility. As of September 30, 2013, our labor force consisted of one full time and one part time employee. All other labor was hired on a contract basis. This substantially reduced the Company’s fixed costs on a go forward basis.
The Company used cash from continuing operations of $201,312 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 primarily due to legal and professional fees and reimbursement for expenses incurred by the Company’s President. Cash was increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from discontinued operations due to the collection of accounts receivable from its previously owned subsidiary Cogility Software Corporation retained by AQSP under the purchase and sale agreement. The Company used cash from continuing operations of $458,942 and $851,970 from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 primarily due to the repayment of nearly all accounts payable and accrued expenses in accordance with the Cogility purchase agreement.
The Company had net cash provided by investing activities from continuing operations of $397,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 primarily due to the final payment received from the sale of Cogility of $1,000,000 and $602,500 loaned to an unrelated party. The Company had net cash provided by investing activities from continuing operations of $3,588,552 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 primarily due to cash received from the sale of Cogility at the time of sale. Cash used in discontinued operations of $ 4,127 consisted of purchases of property and equipment for DSTG.

Critical Accounting Policies
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, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Significant estimates include share-based compensation forfeiture rates and the potential outcome of future tax consequences of events that have been recognized for financial reporting purposes. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.
Income Taxes – Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred income taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided on differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements and on tax carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred income tax assets when it is not more likely than not that the deferred income tax assets will be realized.
Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share – Basic earnings (loss) per common share is determined by dividing earnings (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing earnings (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. When dilutive, the incremental potential common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants are determined by the treasury stock method. There were 2,148,774 employee stock options and 938,000 warrants outstanding during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because their effects would have been anti-dilutive. There were 2,173,774 employee stock options and 938,000 warrants outstanding during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because their effects would have been anti-dilutive.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. This ASU is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 using one of two retrospective application methods. The Company has not determined the potential effects on the financial statements.
In September 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-12, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718)-Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). ASU No. 2014-12 requires that a performance target that affects vesting and could be achieved after the requisite service period shall be treated as a performance condition. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2016. The Company has not determined the potential effects on the financial statements.
Contractual Cash Obligations and Commercial Commitments
The William Noyes Webster Foundation, Inc. (the "Foundation"), a non-profit Massachusetts corporation, has received a provisional registration from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to own and operate a medical marijuana cultivation facility and dispensary in Barnstable County, Massachusetts. Jane W. Heatley ("Heatley") is the founder and a member of the board of directors of the Foundation.
Teaming Agreement - On July 8, 2014, Acquired Sales Corp. ("AQSP") and Heatley agreed to use their respective best efforts, working exclusively together as a team, and not as a partnership or other entity, in order to consummate transactions, agreements, contracts and other arrangements pursuant to which AQSP will provide capital and expertise to the Foundation.
Promissory Note - On July 14, 2014, the Foundation signed and delivered to AQSP a Secured Promissory Note (the "Note") which is in the stated loan amount of $1,500,000. The Note provides that the $1,500,000 loan may be advanced in one or more installments as the Foundation and AQSP may mutually agree upon. The Foundation and AQSP mutually agreed that the first installment of this loan would be $602,500. Pursuant to instructions from the Foundation, on July 14, 2014, AQSP paid $2,500 owed by the Foundation to one of its consultants, and AQSP advanced $600,000 directly to the Foundation. The amount and timing of subsequent loan installments under the Note, which will total $897,500, have not yet been mutually agreed upon between the Foundation and AQSP.
The unpaid balance of the Note will bear interest at the rate of 12.5% per annum, compounded monthly. The first payment of accrued interest by the Foundation under the Note shall be made as soon after the Foundation commences operations of its medical marijuana cultivation facility and dispensary as the Foundation's cash flows shall reasonably permit, but in any event no later than one year after the Foundation commences operations. The principal of the Note shall be payable in eight consecutive equal quarterly installments, commencing on the last day of the calendar quarter in which the Foundation commences operations. The Note is secured by, among other things, certain of the Foundation’s assets as set out in a Security Agreement dated July 14, 2014.

The Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company defends itself vigorously against any such claims.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements – We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide information required by this Item.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules, regulations and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As indicated in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective. Management’s assessment of internal controls over financial reporting has not changed at September 30, 2014. There existed a lack of segregation of duties in regard to the Company’s financial reporting, procedures for depositing of funds, procedures for cash disbursements, procedures for checkbook entries, period close procedures, and procedures for financial statement preparation that result in material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management, with the participation of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has concluded there were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
