4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management,
which includes our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our President, Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the existence of material weaknesses
in our internal control over financial reporting.
Material
Weakness Over Financial Reporting
We
determined that there were inappropriate system access controls over the financial reporting system. These controls were not designed
to prevent or detect unauthorized changes to source information or implement an appropriate level of segregation of duties. Accordingly,
management has determined that this control deficiency constituted a material weakness.
We
also concluded that we lacked adequate controls with respect to recording year end accruals for vendor liabilities. Accordingly, management
has determined that this control deficiency constituted a material weakness.
Notwithstanding
such material weaknesses, we believe the financial information presented herein is materially correct and fairly presents the financial
position and operating results for the three months ended January 31, 2026 in conformity with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information
and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Remediation
Plan for the Material Weaknesses
As
previously disclosed in Item 9A of our 2025 Annual Report, to remediate the material weaknesses identified above, we are initiating controls
and procedures in order to:
● Enhance
system access controls and segregation of duties through role-based access restrictions and
periodic user access reviews.
● Strengthen
year-end financial close and review procedures, including formalized controls over vendor
accruals.
The
material weaknesses identified above will not be considered remediated until our remediation efforts have been fully implemented and
we have concluded that these controls are operating effectively.
Management
does not expect that our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors 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 systems
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 a cost-effective control system, no evaluation of
internal control over financial reporting can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that
all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been or will be detected.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other
than the changes intended to remediate the material weaknesses as discussed above, there was no change in our internal control over financial
reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2026 that
has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
