Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
(1) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation,
under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial
Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our
President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2025 were not effective
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 the SEC’s rules and forms because of certain material weaknesses in
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Specifically, management
has identified a limited segregation of duties due to our limited resources and insufficient accounting personnel, resulting in a lack
of controls to ensure maintenance of documentation supporting transactions recorded in the Company’s accounting records.
Management’s Annual
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible
for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under
the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
· pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions
and dispositions of our assets;
· provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
· provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use
or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations,
internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness
to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of
compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management assessed the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the parameters set forth above and has concluded that as of December
31, 2025, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (“US GAAP”) as a result of the following material weaknesses:
31
· The Company does not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions.
· The Company does not have written documentation of our internal controls policies and procedures.
· The Company’s human resources, processes and systems are not sufficient to enable the production
of timely and accurate financial statements in accordance with US GAAP.
We plan to rectify these
weaknesses by establishing written policies and procedures for our internal control of financial reporting and hiring additional accounting
personnel at such time as we raise sufficient capital to do so.
