−Removed: under the Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the
−Removed: SEC’s rules and forms.
−Removed: Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated

−Removed: as of the end of the period covered by this Report.
−Removed: do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud.
−Removed: Disclosure controls and
−Removed: procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the
−Removed: disclosure controls and procedures are met.
−Removed: Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there
−Removed: are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs.
−Removed: Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure
−Removed: controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all
−Removed: our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any.
−Removed: The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain
−Removed: assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated
−Removed: goals under all potential future conditions.

−Removed: provide reasonable assurance
−Removed: regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material
−Removed: effect on the financial statements.
−Removed: of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect errors or misstatements in our financial
−Removed: Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
−Removed: because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
−Removed: Management assessed
−Removed: the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting on December 31, 2024.
−Removed: In making these assessments, management used
−Removed: the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated

−Removed: Based on our assessments and those criteria, management determined that we did not maintain effective internal control
