4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As
of the end of our quarterly ended June 30, 2024, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures”
(as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) was carried out by our management,
with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and
CFO have concluded that as of the end of the quarter ended June 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective due
to the material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting related to the restatement described in Note 9 to our amendment
to the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 financial statements filed with the SEC on August 4, 2023. The material weakness
specifically related to the subsequent measurement of complex financial instruments.
To
address this material weakness, management has devoted, and plans to continue to devote significant effort and resources to the remediation
and improvement of its internal control over financial reporting and to provide processes and controls over the internal communication
with the Company and the financial advisors. While we have processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements,
we plan to enhance these processes to better evaluate our research and understanding of the nuances of the complex accounting instruments
that apply to our financial statements. We plan to include providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and
documents with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished
over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects. Other than this issue, our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level and, accordingly, provided reasonable assurance that
the information requirement to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024, covered by
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.
