4. Controls and Procedures
(a)
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure
that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and
communicated to management, including the principal executive and financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosures. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of disclosure controls
and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report (“Evaluation Date”), pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the
Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation
Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to material weaknesses described in our 2020 Annual Report on Form
10-K and a material weakness related to the accounting for prospective changes to the rate of corporation tax applicable in the UK, which
was enacted during the quarter.
Notwithstanding
the existence of these material weaknesses, we believe that the consolidated condensed financial statements included in this interim
report on Form 10-Q fairly present in accordance with U.S. GAAP, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations
and cash flows for the periods presented in this report.
Limitations
on Effectiveness of Controls.
A
control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of
the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all controls systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute
assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Our disclosure controls and procedures
are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving its objectives.
(b)
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
