Controls and Procedures .
−Removed: Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
−Removed: management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure
−Removed: controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
−Removed: For purposes of this section, the
−Removed: term disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information
−Removed: required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
−Removed: (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s
−Removed: rules and forms.
−Removed: Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information
−Removed: required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated
−Removed: to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions,
−Removed: as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
−Removed: upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2023, the end of the
−Removed: period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.
−Removed: does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all
−Removed: errors and all fraud.
−Removed: A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance
−Removed: that the objectives of the control systems are met.
−Removed: Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource
−Removed: constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.
−Removed: Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective
−Removed: control system, no evaluation of internal control over financial reporting can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error
−Removed: or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been or will be detected.
−Removed: inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a
−Removed: simple error or mistake.
−Removed: Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people,
−Removed: or by management override of the controls.
−Removed: The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood
−Removed: of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future
−Removed: Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks.
−Removed: Over time, controls may become
−Removed: inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
−Removed: Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
−Removed: 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,
−Removed: during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
−Removed: control over financial reporting.
+Added: Disclosure and control procedures
+Added: management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, evaluated the effectiveness
+Added: of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under
+Added: the Exchange Act ) as of the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q, and have concluded that, based on such evaluation,
+Added: our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting
+Added: as of June 30, 2023 as described below.
+Added: Notwithstanding
+Added: the conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report, we
+Added: believe that our consolidated financial statements and other information contained in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q present fairly,
+Added: in all material respects, our business, financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented.
+Added: Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
+Added: management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a
+Added: -15(f) under the Exchange Act .
+Added: Our internal control was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of
+Added: directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.
+Added: control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
+Added: and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
+Added: The Company’s
+Added: internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to assets of the Company; (ii)
+Added: provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
+Added: with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with
+Added: authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
+Added: detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial
+Added: material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is
+Added: a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not
+Added: be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
+Added: making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
+Added: (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (issued in 2013).
+Added: upon the assessments, management has concluded that as of June 30, 2023, there was a material weakness in our internal control over financial
+Added: reporting due to the fact that we did not have an adequate process established to ensure appropriate levels of review of accounting and
+Added: financial reporting matters, which resulted in our closing process not identifying all required adjustments and disclosures in a timely
+Added: plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal control over financial reporting.
+Added: To remediate our material weaknesses,
+Added: we plan to appoint additional qualified personnel with the requisite knowledge to improve the levels of review of accounting and financial
+Added: reporting matters;
+Added: however, such remediation efforts are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing or generating significant
+Added: revenue to cover the costs of implementing the changes required.
+Added: effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, is subject to inherent limitations, including
+Added: the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate
+Added: misconduct completely.
+Added: Accordingly, in designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any
+Added: system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable,
+Added: not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
+Added: In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must
+Added: reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits
+Added: of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
+Added: Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods
+Added: are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
+Added: policies or procedures may deteriorate.
+Added: We intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our internal controls as necessary or appropriate
+Added: for our business but cannot assure you that such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial
