Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Management’s Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures
are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under
the Exchange Act 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 and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal
financial officer, who are one in the same, concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls
and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Management’s Report on Internal Control
over Financial Reporting
Our management, with the participation of our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control
over our financial reporting. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to management regarding the preparation
and fair presentation of published financial statements.
Our management, consisting of our principal executive
officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls over financial
reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable,
not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact
that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent
limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, misstatements, errors,
and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been or will be prevented or detected. These inherent limitations include the
realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design
of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance
that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls
effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks that internal controls may become inadequate as a result of changes in conditions,
or through the deterioration of the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
There was no change in the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Management's Assessment Regarding Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting
At the end of the period
covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of and with the participation of our
management, including the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operations
of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a – 15(e) and Rule 15d – 15(e) under the Exchange Act) as
of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial
Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in ensuring that: (i) information required to be
disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits to the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms and (ii) material information required
to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO,
as appropriate, to allow for accurate and timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Disclosure controls and procedures
were not effective due primarily to a material weakness in the segregation of duties in the Company’s internal control of financial
reporting as discussed below.

Internal Control over
Financial Reporting
Management is responsible
for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries)
and all related information appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
Management conducted an evaluation
of the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this report, based
on the criteria in a framework developed by the Company’s management pursuant to and in compliance with the criteria established.
This evaluation included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, walkthroughs of
the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that our
internal control over financial reporting was not effective, because management identified a material weakness in the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting related to the segregation of duties as described below.
While the Company does adhere
to internal controls and processes that were designed, it is difficult with a very limited staff to maintain appropriate segregation of
duties in the initiating and recording of transactions, thereby creating a segregation of duties weakness. Due to: (i) the significance
of segregation of duties to the preparation of reliable financial statements; (ii) the significance of potential misstatement that could
have resulted due to the deficient controls; and (iii) the absence of sufficient other mitigating controls, we determined that this control
deficiency resulted in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement or lack of disclosure within the annual or interim financial
statements may not be prevented or detected.
Management’s Remediation Initiatives
Management has evaluated,
and continues to evaluate, avenues for mitigating our internal controls weaknesses, but mitigating controls to completely mitigate internal
control weaknesses have been deemed to be impractical and prohibitively costly, due to the size of our organization at the current time.
Management expects to continue to use reasonable care in following and seeking improvements to effective internal control processes that
have been and continue to be in use at the Company.
