+Added: Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
+Added: We maintain disclosure controls and procedures
+Added: that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed or submitted under the Securities
+Added: Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
+Added: in the SEC’s rules and forms.
+Added: Our disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that information required to be

+Added: During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, we carried

+Added: financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
+Added: and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.
+Added: Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded
+Added: that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness in our internal controls.
+Added: A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination
+Added: of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonably possibility that a material misstatement
+Added: of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
+Added: Material Weaknesses in Internal Controls
+Added: The Company’s management has concluded
+Added: that our control around the accounting for certain notes receivable accounted for at fair value and certain long-term investments
+Added: accounted for at fair value or with the equity security measurement alternative was not effectively designed or maintained, and
+Added: therefore initially were not accounted for correctly.
+Added: As a result, our management performed additional analysis as deemed necessary
+Added: to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
+Added: States of America.
+Added: Management understands that the accounting standards applicable to our financial statements are complex and will
+Added: seek to enhance controls over its experienced third-party professionals with whom management can consult with respect to accounting
+Added: issues and remediate this material weakness.
+Added: Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

+Added: over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 that

+Added: controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud.
+Added: A control system, no matter how well conceived

+Added: Further, the design
+Added: of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative
+Added: to their costs.
