4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer have 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 June 30, 2025 (the “Evaluation Date”).
Based on such evaluation, those officers have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective
in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be included in periodic filings under
the Exchange Act and that such information is not accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and financial
officers, in a manner sufficient to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The
Company has identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Regulation 12b-2 under the
Exchange Act, a “material weakness” is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting,
such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented,
or detected on a timely basis. The Company identified material weaknesses in its internal controls in the following areas: general IT
controls; lack of sufficient accounting personnel and inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives. None of these
deficiencies resulted in a material misstatement to the Company’s annual or interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the periods
ended June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Management
has identified corrective actions to remediate such material weaknesses, which includes the implementation of proper IT system access
controls and the proper backup of the Company’s IT architecture. In addition, the Company has outsourced certain accounting functions
to ensure proper segregation of duties over financial reporting and hired additional accounting personnel. Management intends to continue
the implementation of procedures to remediate such material weaknesses during the fiscal year 2025; however, the implementation of these
initiatives may not fully address any material weaknesses that we may have in our internal control over financial reporting.
The
Company will continue to review and improve its internal controls over financial reporting to address the underlying causes of the material
weaknesses and control deficiencies. Such material weaknesses and control deficiencies will not be remediated until the Company’s
remediation plan has been fully implemented, and it has concluded that its internal controls are operating effectively for a sufficient
period of time.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except
for the material weaknesses and the remediation efforts described above, no other change in our internal control over financial reporting
(as defined by Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2025, that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
