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.
−Removed: Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of September 30, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures are not designed at a reasonable assurance level and are not effective due to the material weaknesses described below.
−Removed: Discussion of Material Weaknesses
−Removed: In connection with our preparation of our financial statements as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we identified material weaknesses as defined under the Exchange Act and by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) in our internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: The material weaknesses relate generally to the design of our internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
−Removed: The material weaknesses that we identified related to the lack of review of journal entries, lack of timely and effective review of financial statement account balances and our lack of maintaining a sufficient complement of personnel commensurate with our accounting and reporting requirements.
−Removed: Remediation Activities
−Removed: We continue to be in the process of remediating the material weaknesses and have taken and will continue to take steps that we believe will address the underlying causes of the material weaknesses.
−Removed: The remediation efforts already taken include (i) implementing a monthly financial statement close process that includes formal review of financial statement account balances and journal entries, (ii) creating a disclosure committee consisting of key executives and accounting personnel who review the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures and (iii) hiring full time accounting and finance resources, including a Chief Financial Officer, Controller, Finance Manager, and a Staff Accountant.
−Removed: While significant progress has been made to enhance our internal control over financial reporting, we are still in the process of implementing, documenting, and testing these processes, procedures and controls.
−Removed: We will continue to devote significant time and attention to these remediation efforts.
−Removed: However, the material weaknesses cannot be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
−Removed: Notwithstanding the material weaknesses, management has concluded that the financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP.
+Added: Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure the timely disclosure of required information in our SEC filings.
