Controls and Procedures
We
maintain “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, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required
to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported
within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated
and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures,
no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure
controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was
required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures.
The
design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future
events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
With
respect to the quarter ended September 30, 2020, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, we conducted
an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon this evaluation,
our Chief Executive Officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2020
due to the material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting. We have a lack of segregation of duties, and
a lack of controls in place to ensure that all material transactions and developments impacting the financial statements are reflected.
C hanges
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting:
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange
Act) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2020 which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

1. Legal Proceedings
In
the past, in the ordinary course of business, we actively pursued legal remedies to enforce our intellectual property rights and
to stop unauthorized use of our technology. Other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, we know of no material,
active or pending legal proceedings against us.

December 31, 2019 and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2020.
