ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and
procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act
is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the
“SEC”) rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal
executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There are inherent limitations
to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention
or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable
assurance of achieving their control objectives.
In connection with the
preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, our management, including our principal executive
officer and principal financial officer, carried out an evaluation, as of March 31, 2025, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls
and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act.
Based on this evaluation,
management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2025 due to the material weaknesses
that were previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 31,
2025, that have not yet been remediated. Management’s plan to remediate these material weaknesses is described in detail in the
Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
