ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our
Chief Executive Officer (performing the functions of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer),
evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the United
States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), as of August 31, 2020. Our disclosure
controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit
under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s
rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (performing the
functions of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer), as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure. Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated,
can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating
the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls
and procedures as of August 31, 2020, our Chief Executive Officer (performing the functions of the Company’s principal executive
officer and principal financial officer) concluded that due to the existence of material weaknesses in our internal controls over
financial reporting, as discussed in more detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 29, 2020, our disclosure
controls and procedures were not completely effective as of August 31, 2020. Management has continued to monitor the implementation
of the remediation plan described below.
Material Weakness
As previously disclosed in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended February 29, 2020, management concluded that material weaknesses existed in our internal control
over financial reporting. Specifically, we determined that:
· We did not have written documentation of our internal control policies
and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which is applicable to us as a reporting company.
· We have limited segregation of duties and oversight of work performed
as well as lack of compensating controls in the Company’s finance and accounting functions due to limited personnel. As a
result, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. Furthermore, we
cannot provide reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with management and director
authorization. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions
should be performed by separate individuals.
· Certain control procedures were unable to be verified due to performance
not being sufficiently documented.
In order to remediate the documented material
weaknesses, management has begun implementing the following corrective measures:
· management has drafted and continues to revise a Corporate Governance
Policy that will further align the Company’s governance procedures with the requirements noted in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;
and
· management has also drafted a revised Code of Conduct, which reflects
the overall corporate principles, policies and values that will also provide the overall guidance for the control procedures.

Management is committed to improving our internal
control processes and believes that the measures described above should remediate the material weaknesses identified and strengthen
internal control over financial reporting. As we continue to evaluate and improve internal control over financial reporting, additional
measures to remediate the material weaknesses or modifications to certain of the remediation procedures described above may be
necessary. The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable remediated controls operate for a sufficient
period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. Notwithstanding the
material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we believe that our consolidated financial statements contained
in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period
covered thereby.
Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than the implementation of the remediation
efforts set forth above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and
15(d)-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
