−Removed: internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: on the Effectiveness of Controls
−Removed: management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures
−Removed: or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud.
−Removed: A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide
−Removed: only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
−Removed: Further, the design of a control system must
−Removed: reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.
−Removed: of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues,
−Removed: misstatements, errors, and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been or will be prevented or detected.
−Removed: These inherent
−Removed: limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple
−Removed: error or mistake.
−Removed: Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people,
−Removed: or by management or Board override of the control.
−Removed: design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can
−Removed: be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
−Removed: Over time, controls
−Removed: may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
−Removed: Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
+Added: were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2025, that have materially affected,
+Added: or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
+Added: Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
+Added: of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
+Added: Projections of any evaluation
+Added: of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
+Added: the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
+Added: All internal control systems, no matter how well designed,
+Added: have inherent limitations.
+Added: These include the fact that human judgment in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns in internal
+Added: control can occur because of human failures such as simple errors or mistakes or intentional circumvention of the established process.
+Added: Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation
+Added: and presentation.
+Added: Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented
+Added: or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting.
+Added: However, these inherent limitations are known features of
+Added: the financial reporting process.
+Added: in Disclosure Controls and Procedures
