(the Company) for the <br />year ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes (the financial statement), and have issued our <br />report thereon dated April 19, 2018. <br /> <br />Internal Control Over Financial Reporting <br /> <br />In planning and performing our audit of the financial statement, we considered Calvin, Giordano & <br />Associates, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit <br />procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on <br />the financial statement, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the <br />Company’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the <br />Company’s internal control. <br /> <br />A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow <br />management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, <br />or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or <br />combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a <br />material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and <br />corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, <br />in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit <br />attention by those charged with governance. <br /> <br />Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of <br />this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be <br />material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did <br />not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. <br />However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />81
