ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation
of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures
as of June 30, 2021. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by
a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time
periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act
is accumulated and communicated to its management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 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 the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as
of June 30, 2021, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls
and procedures were not effective.
Management’s Report on Internal Control
over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for
establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined
in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as a process designed by, or under the supervision
of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company’s 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 generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures
that:
● Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable
detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
● Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded
as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts
and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
● Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial
statements.
Because of its inherent limitations,
internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective
can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation
of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management assessed the effectiveness
of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2021. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework
(2013). Based on this evaluation, management has concluded our internal control over financial reporting at June 30, 2021 was not effective
due to the material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as disclosed below.
Notwithstanding the identified material
weakness, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer believe the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual
Report on Form 10-K fairly represent in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows at and for
the periods presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
102
Ongoing Remediation of Previously Reported Material
Weakness
In connection with the audits of our consolidated
financial statements as of and for the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, our management previously identified a material weakness in
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, primarily the result of inadequate resources required to respond to financial
reporting matters other than in the normal course of business. In connection with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements
as of June 30, 2021, there were material audit adjustments required in relation to the overstatement of the valuation of warrants issued
as part of the Company’s financing efforts which were outside of, and/or in addition to, its regular reporting cycle. The presence
of these adjustments is indicative of failures in design and effectiveness of internal controls. The identified material weakness has
not been remediated as of June 30, 2021.
We have taken significant measures,
and plan to continue to take measures, to remediate this material weakness. Management has implemented a remediation plan to address
the root causes which contributed to the material weakness and is committed to a strong Internal Control over Financial Reporting (ICFR)
environment. The remediation plan includes increasing our in-house personnel and/or expertise and implementing and adopting additional
controls and procedures to remediate the material weakness.
While we have commenced implementing the
remediation plan and made enhancements to our control procedures in this area, certain remediation steps were delayed including the hiring
of in-house personnel which was not fully implemented until July 2021. As a result, our remediation efforts, as of June 30, 2021,
remain in progress but are anticipated to be fully implemented during the second half of calendar 2021.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than the actions we are taking
to remediate the material weakness described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified
in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the year ended June
30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
