ITEM
4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a)
Disclosure Controls and Procedures .
Our
management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2025
(the “Evaluation Date”). Based on such evaluation, those officers have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure
controls and procedures are ineffective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required
to be included in periodic filings under the Exchange Act and that such information is not accumulated and communicated to management,
including our principal executive and financial officers, in a manner sufficient to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Contributing factors include lack of sufficient internal accounting personnel, segregation of duties, and lack of sufficient internal
controls (including IT general controls) that encompass the Company as a whole with respect to entity- and transaction-level controls
to ensure complete documentation of complex and non-routine transactions and adequate financial reporting.
As
part of our quarter-end closing process for the period ended June 30, 2025, we identified that certain transactions in the Company’s
common stock by two of our executive officers had not been timely reported on Form 4 and had not been reflected in the beneficial ownership
tables in prior SEC filings. These errors were corrected with the filing of late and amended Form 4s on August 12, 2025, and the Company’s
beneficial ownership table in this Form 10-Q has been updated accordingly. We have implemented additional procedures to reconcile brokerage
records of our officers and directors with our stock ownership records on a quarterly basis to ensure timely reporting and accurate disclosure.
Management
has identified corrective actions to remediate such material weaknesses, which are subject to fundraising and include hiring additional
employees. Management intends to implement procedures to remediate such material weaknesses during the fiscal year 2025; however, the
implementation of these initiatives may not fully address any material weakness or other deficiencies that we may have in our disclosure
controls and procedures.
(b)
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we implemented additional procedures to reconcile brokerage records
of our officers and directors with our stock ownership records on a quarterly basis to ensure timely reporting and accurate disclosure.
Management believes these procedures enhance our internal control over financial reporting.
