9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In
accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness 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 annual report on
Form 10-K and determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual
report on Form 10- K.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
This
annual report on Form 10-K does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting
or an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of
the Securities and Exchange Commission for newly public companies.
Nevertheless, we identified a material
weakness relating to our internal control over financial reporting. As a result of the material weakness identified, we incorrectly classified
certain offering and organizational expenses that arose in the period ended March 31, 2021. The misstatements relate to periods prior
to our commencement of operations, and are corrected in the financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Since commencing operations, we have made changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange
Act) that occurred during the period ended March 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting. We believe that the processes and controls that we have established will address the material weakness, but we will need a period of execution
to demonstrate remediation.
