9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our
management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period
covered by this Annual Report. 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 SECs rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief 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 such evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of February 28, 2022, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer concluded that due to the existence of material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting, as discussed in
more detail below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not completely effective as of February 28, 2022. Management has continued
to monitor the implementation of the remediation plan described below.
Managements
annual report on internal control over financial reporting
The
Companys internal control over financial reporting ( ICFR ) is designed under the supervision of our Chief
Executive Officer, acting in the capacity of principal executive officer, and our Chief Financial Officer, acting in the capacity of
principal financial officer, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, 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, or GAAP. The Companys ICFR includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain
to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Companys
assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with GAAP, and that the Companys receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
the Companys management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the Companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
The
management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate ICFR for the Company. Our management assessed the
effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2022 in accordance with the framework
in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(the COSO Framework ). As a quickly growing development-stage company with limited resources, management is in the
process of building the necessary infrastructure of controls, following the COSO Framework, to ensure that more stringent policies and
procedures will be in place in the near future. However, based on our current review, management concluded that, during the period covered
by this report, material weaknesses in ICFR as follows:
●
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;
and
●
We
have limited segregation of duties and oversight of work performed as well as lack of compensating controls in the Companys
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.
In
order to remediate the documented material weaknesses, management has implemented corporate governance policies and charters that will
further align the Companys governance procedures with the requirements noted in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, including a Codes of Business
Conduct and Ethics, which reflects the overall corporate principles, policies and values that provides overall guidance for our control
procedures.
Notwithstanding
the assessment that our ICFR was not effective as of February 28, 2022 and that there are material weaknesses as identified herein, we
believe that our consolidated financial statements contained in this Annual Report fairly present our financial position, results of
operations and cash flows for the period covered thereby in all material respects. We are committed to continuing to improve our internal
control processes and we are undertaking measures to remediate the material weaknesses we have identified and generally strengthen our
internal control over financial reporting. We will also continue to further review, optimize, and enhance our financial reporting controls
and procedures. These 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.
This
Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding our internal control over financial
reporting. The attestation report by our registered public accounting firm was not required pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit
us to provide only our managements report on internal control over financial reporting.
Changes
in internal control over financial reporting
Except
for the remediation procedures being implemented by the Company as described above, there have been no other 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 our fiscal
year ended February 28, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.

Compensation
Policies and Practices and Risk Management
One
of the responsibilities of our Compensation Committee and our Board, in its role in setting executive compensation and overseeing our
various compensation programs, is to ensure that our compensation programs are structured so as to discourage inappropriate risk-taking.
We believe that our existing compensation practices and policies for all employees, including executive officers, mitigate against this
risk by, among other things, providing a meaningful portion of total compensation in the form of equity incentives. These equity incentives
have historically been in the form of stock grants to promote long-term rather than short-term financial performance and to encourage
employees to focus on sustained stock price appreciation. The Compensation Committee is responsible for monitoring our existing compensation
practices and policies and investigating applicable enhancements to align our existing practices and policies with avoidance or elimination
of risk and the enhancement of long-term stockholder value.
Director
Compensation
Each
of our directors receives regular cash compensation of $2,000 per month, for serving on the Board.

Under
Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract,
arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct
the voting of such security; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the security.
Certain shares of common stock may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the
power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares of common stock are deemed to be beneficially owned by
a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as
of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares of common stock outstanding
is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition
rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of common stock of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily
reflect the persons actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding
as of the date of this Proxy Statement. As of May 25, 2022, there were 42,777,260 shares of common stock of the Company issued and
outstanding.

Effective
September 27, 2021, our Board of Directors authorized and approved the adoption by the Company of the 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (the
2021 Stock Incentive Plan ), pursuant to which an aggregate of 7,000,000 shares of our common stock may be issued
pursuant to awards that may be granted under the 2021 Stock Incentive Plan. The 2021 Stock Incentive Plan was approved by our stockholders
at our annual meeting of stockholders held on November 22, 2021.
The
2021 Stock Incentive Plan is administered by our Board of Directors, or the Compensation Committee, or any other committee appointed
by the Board of Directors to administer the 2021 Stock Incentive Plan, and the Board of Directors shall determine, among other things:
(i) the persons to be granted awards under the 2021 Stock Incentive Plan; (ii) the number of shares or amount of other awards to be granted;
and (iii) the terms and conditions of the awards granted. The Company may issue restricted shares, stock options, restricted stock units,
stock appreciation rights, deferred stock rights and dividend equivalent rights, among others, under the 2021 Stock Incentive Plan.
An
award may not be exercised after the termination date of the award and may be exercised following the termination of an eligible participants
continuous service only to the extent provided by the administrator under the 2021 Stock Incentive Plan. If the administrator under the
2021 Stock Incentive Plan permits a participant to exercise an award following the termination of continuous service for a specified
period, the award terminates to the extent not exercised on the last day of the specified period or the last day of the original term
of the award, whichever occurs first. In the event an eligible participants service has been terminated for cause,
he or she shall immediately forfeit all rights to any of the awards outstanding.
T he
2021 Stock Incentive Plan includes the following best practice provisions to reinforce the alignment between stockholders interests
and equity compensation arrangements. These provisions include, but are not limited to:
● No
discounted awards : the exercise price of an award must not be lower than 100% of the
fair market value of the shares on the stock exchange or system on which the shares are traded
or quoted at the time the award is granted;
● No
buyout without shareholder approval : outstanding options or non-qualified stock options
( SARs ) may not be bought out or surrendered in exchange for cash unless
shareholder approval is received;
● No
repricing without shareholder approval : the
Company may not, without shareholder approval, reprice an award by reducing the exercise
price of a stock option or exchanging a stock option for cash, other awards or a new stock
option with a reduced exercise price;
● Minimum
vesting requirements for full-value awards : except in the case of an award
granted in substitution and cancellation of an award granted by an acquired organization
and shares delivered in lieu of fully vested cash awards, any equity-based awards granted
under the 2021 Stock Incentive Plan will have a vesting period of not less than one year
from the date of grant; provided, however, that this minimum vesting restriction will not
be applicable to equity-based awards not in excess of 5% of the number of shares available
for grant under the 2021 Stock Incentive Plan. For avoidance of doubt, the foregoing restrictions
do not apply to the Boards discretion to provide for accelerated exercisability or
vesting of any award in case of death or disability. The treatment of awards in connection
with a change of control are described below;
● No
accelerated vesting of outstanding unvested awards and double-trigger change of control requirements :
no acceleration of any unvested awards shall occur except in the case of the death or disability
of the grantee or upon a change of control. In this respect the 2021 Stock Incentive Plan
requires a double-trigger – both a change of control and a qualifying
termination of continuing services – to accelerate the vesting of awards. In connection
with a change in control, time-based awards shall only be accelerated if the awards are not
assumed or converted following the change in control and performance based awards shall only
be accelerated: (i) to the extent of actual achievement of the performance conditions; or
(ii) on a prorated basis for time elapsed in ongoing performance period(s) based on target
or actual level achievement. In connection with vesting of outstanding awards following a
qualifying termination after a change in control (i.e., double-trigger vesting), the same
conditions set forth in the preceding sentence will apply;
● No
dividends for unvested awards : holders of any awards which have not yet vested are not
entitled to receive dividends, however, dividends may be accrued and paid upon the vesting
of such awards;
● No
liberal share recycling : shares issued under the 2021
Stock Incentive Plan pursuant to an award, or
shares retained by or delivered to the Company to pay either the exercise price of an outstanding
stock option or the withholding taxes in connection with the vesting of incentive stock awards
or SARs, and shares purchased by the Company in the open market using the proceeds of option
exercises, do not become available for issuance as future awards under the 2021
Stock Incentive Plan ;
● Transferability : the
awards granted under the 2021 Stock Incentive Plan generally
may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other
than by will, by the laws of descent and distribution;
● No
automatic grants : the 2021
Stock Incentive Plan does not provide for automatic
grants to any eligible participant; and
● No
evergreen provision : the 2021 Stock Incentive Plan does not provide for an evergreen
feature pursuant to which the shares authorized for issuance under the 2021
Stock Incentive Plan can be automatically replenished.
The
foregoing summary of the 2021 Stock Incentive Plan is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2021 Stock Incentive
Plan, which is attached hereto as exhibit 10.8.
