CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
−Removed: of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
−Removed: disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit
−Removed: under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time
−Removed: periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief
−Removed: Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
−Removed: Our management is responsible
−Removed: for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under
−Removed: the Securities Exchange Act.
−Removed: Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision and with the participation
−Removed: of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to provide reasonable assurance regarding
−Removed: the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S.
−Removed: As of January 31, 2022, our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria
−Removed: set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, or 2013 Framework.
−Removed: Based on this assessment, our management concluded that, as of January 31, 2022, our internal control over financial reporting was not
−Removed: effective because of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the lack of accounting department
−Removed: resources and/or policies and procedures to ensure recording and disclosure of items in compliance with generally accepted accounting
−Removed: We have taken and are taking steps to remediate the material weakness, including implementing additional procedures and utilizing
−Removed: external consulting resources with experience and expertise in U.S.
−Removed: GAAP and public company accounting and reporting requirements to assist
−Removed: management with its accounting and reporting of complex and/or non-recurring transactions and related disclosures.
−Removed: Notwithstanding the identified
−Removed: material weakness, our management believes that the condensed financial statements included in this Quarterly Report fairly represent
−Removed: in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows at and for the periods presented in accordance
−Removed: Nonetheless, we also believe that an internal control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide
−Removed: absolute assurance that the objectives of the internal control system are met, and no evaluation of internal control can provide absolute
−Removed: assurance that all internal control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company are detected.
+Added: Evaluation of Disclosure
+Added: Controls and Procedures
+Added: have established disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we
+Added: file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules
+Added: and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer,
+Added: to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
+Added: principal executive officer and principal financial officer, with the assistance of other members of the Company’s management, have
+Added: evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
+Added: and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
+Added: Based upon our evaluation, each of
+Added: our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial
+Added: reporting was not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q because the Company has not yet
+Added: completed its remediation of the material weakness previously identified and disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K
+Added: for the year ended April 30, 2022, the end of its most recent fiscal year.
+Added: Specifically,
+Added: management has identified the following material weaknesses:
+Added: we do not have sufficient resources in our accounting function, which
+Added: restricts our ability to perform sufficient reviews and approval of manual journal entries posted to the general ledger and to consistently
+Added: execute review procedures over general ledger account reconciliations, financial statement preparation and accounting for non-routine
+Added: transactions ;
+Added: our primary user access controls (i.e., provisioning, de-provisioning,
+Added: privileged access and user access reviews) to ensure appropriate authorization and segregation of duties that would adequately restrict
+Added: user and privileged access to the financially relevant systems and data to appropriate personnel were not designed and/or implemented
+Added: We did not design and/or implement sufficient controls for program change management to certain financially relevant systems
+Added: affecting our processes .
+Added: material weakness is a control deficiency or combination of control deficiencies that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material
+Added: misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.
+Added: Planned Remediation
+Added: are implementing measures designed to improve our internal control over financial reporting to remediate material weaknesses, including
+Added: the following:
+Added: · Formalizing our internal control documentation and strengthening supervisory reviews by our management;
+Added: · Adding additional accounting personnel and segregating duties amongst accounting personnel.
+Added: continues to work to improve its controls related to our material weaknesses, specifically relating to user access and change management
+Added: surrounding our information technology systems and applications.
+Added: Management will continue to implement measures to remediate material
+Added: weaknesses, such that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively.
+Added: The remediation actions include:
+Added: (i) enhancing
+Added: design and documentation related to both user access and change management processes and control activities;
+Added: and (ii) developing and communicating
+Added: additional policies and procedures to govern the area of information technology change management.
+Added: In order to achieve the timely implementation
+Added: of the above, management has commenced the following actions and will continue to assess additional opportunities for remediation on an
+Added: ongoing basis:
+Added: · Engaging a third-party specialist to assist management with
+Added: improving the Company’s overall control environment, focusing on change management and access controls;
+Added: · Implementing new applications and systems that are aligned
+Added: with management’s focus on creating strong internal controls.
+Added: are currently working to improve and simplify our internal processes and implement enhanced controls, as discussed above, to address the
+Added: material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and to remedy the ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and
+Added: These material weaknesses will not be considered to be remediated until the applicable remediated controls are operating for
+Added: a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
+Added: Despite the existence of these material weaknesses, we believe that
+Added: the condensed financial statements included in the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material
+Added: respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S.
+Added: generally accepted
+Added: accounting principles.
Changes in Internal Control

−Removed: affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
−Removed: effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, is subject to inherent limitations, including
−Removed: the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate

−Removed: Accordingly, in designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any
−Removed: system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable,
−Removed: not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
−Removed: In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must
−Removed: reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits
−Removed: of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
−Removed: Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods
−Removed: are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
−Removed: policies or procedures may deteriorate.
−Removed: We intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our internal controls as necessary or appropriate
−Removed: for our business but cannot assure you that such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial
+Added: Except as detailed above,
