CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
−Removed: of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
−Removed: maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are
−Removed: designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized,
−Removed: and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated
−Removed: to our management, including Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding
−Removed: required disclosures.
−Removed: In designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment
−Removed: in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures.
−Removed: The design of any disclosure controls and
−Removed: procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any
−Removed: design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
−Removed: Any controls and procedures, no matter how well
−Removed: designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
−Removed: management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the
−Removed: design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.
−Removed: Based upon that evaluation
−Removed: and subject to the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, our disclosure controls and procedures
−Removed: were not effective due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below.
−Removed: Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
−Removed: management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: Our internal control over
−Removed: financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of its principal executive and principal financial officers and effected
−Removed: by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
−Removed: and the preparation of its consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S.
−Removed: generally accepted
−Removed: accounting principles.
−Removed: of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
−Removed: In addition, projections
−Removed: of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
−Removed: conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
−Removed: Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
−Removed: management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 based on the framework
−Removed: established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
−Removed: Based on this assessment, management has determined that our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
−Removed: 2021 was not effective.
−Removed: material weakness, as defined in the standards established by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”),
−Removed: is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility
−Removed: that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
−Removed: ineffectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting was due to the following material weaknesses which are indicative of
−Removed: many small companies with small number of staff:
−Removed: of risk assessment procedures on internal controls to detect financial reporting risks in
−Removed: a timely manner;
−Removed: of documentation on policies and procedures that are critical to the accomplishment of financial
−Removed: reporting objectives.
−Removed: Plan to Remediate the Material Weakness
−Removed: management plans to implement measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weakness are remediated,
−Removed: such that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively.

+Added: of Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule

+Added: to delist our securities, but there can be no assurance the Staff would grant our request for continued listing.
+Added: Nasdaq notification has no immediate effect on the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
+Added: We intend to actively monitor
+Added: the bid price of our common stock and our minimum market value of listed securities and will consider options available to us to achieve
+Added: compliance with the Nasdaq listing rules.
+Added: There can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with the minimum bid price
