+Added: Disclosure Controls and Procedures:
+Added: As of March 31, 2025, under the supervision and with
+Added: the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer we have evaluated, the effectiveness of the design
+Added: and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.
+Added: that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that because remediation of the deficiency
+Added: in internal control over financial reporting described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 has not
+Added: been completed as described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March
+Added: Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed
+Added: to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we filed or submitted under the Exchange
+Added: Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms.
+Added: Disclosure controls
+Added: and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our
+Added: reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including principal executive officer and principal
+Added: financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
+Added: Management’s Report on Internal Control
+Added: over Financial Reporting:
+Added: Our management is responsible for establishing and
+Added: maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.
+Added: Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or
+Added: under the supervision of, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
+Added: reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
+Added: accepted accounting principles.
+Added: Our control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance
+Added: of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
+Added: (2) provide reasonable
+Added: assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
+Added: accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management
+Added: and directors;
+Added: and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition
+Added: of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
+Added: Because of inherent limitations, internal control
+Added: over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
+Added: Also, any projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods
+Added: are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies
+Added: and procedures may deteriorate.
+Added: A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination
+Added: of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
+Added: of the annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
+Added: As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form
+Added: 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, an evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of management,
+Added: including our CEO and CFO, on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024
+Added: based on criteria related to internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013)
+Added: issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO 2013 Framework).
+Added: Based on this evaluation, management
+Added: determined that because of the material weaknesses described below, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was
+Added: not effective as of December 31, 2024.
+Added: We did not maintain an effective internal control
+Added: environment to ensure the processing of and reporting of non-routine transactions are complete, accurate and timely, including the Company’s
+Added: indefinite-lived assets impairment assessment.
+Added: The material weakness identified above could result
+Added: in a misstatement to the aforementioned asset balances and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim
+Added: consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
+Added: Remediation Plan:
+Added: Management has initiated a remediation plan to address
+Added: the control deficiency that led to the material weakness.
+Added: The remediation plan includes, but is not limited to, engagement of additional
+Added: external accounting resources to assist with the preparation and review of the Company’s non-routine transactions.
+Added: Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
+Added: Except for changes being implemented by the Company
+Added: to address the material weakness identified above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the first
+Added: quarter of 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
