Item 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 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.
