ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act report is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based upon this evaluation, our 45 Table of Contents principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2020 to provide such reasonable assurance.
