−Removed: with the participation of our management, including the CEO and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness
−Removed: 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
−Removed: Exchange Act).
−Removed: Based on that evaluation, the CEO and the CFO have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly
−Removed: Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness in internal control over financial
−Removed: reporting described below.
−Removed: The Company’s disclosure controls
−Removed: and procedures have been designed to ensure that:
−Removed: (i) information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit
−Removed: to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in applicable
−Removed: rules and forms and (ii) material information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated
−Removed: and communicated to management, including the CEO and the CFO, as appropriate, to allow for accurate and timely decisions regarding
−Removed: required disclosure.
−Removed: Management does not expect that our disclosure
−Removed: controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud.
−Removed: The effectiveness of our or any system of disclosure controls and
−Removed: procedures, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the system will be
−Removed: met and is subject to certain limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, and evaluating controls

−Removed: Material Weakness in Internal Control
−Removed: over Financing Reporting Existing as of December 31, 2022
−Removed: A material weakness is a deficiency, or
−Removed: a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a
−Removed: material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely
−Removed: Our management concluded that we did not
−Removed: maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, due to a material weakness relating to our
−Removed: controls, specifically, the Company’s controls over the accounting for non-routine transactions were not adequately designed
−Removed: to ensure the consideration of all related relevant accounting guidance when such transactions were recorded.
−Removed: This material weakness
−Removed: resulted in the restatement of the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for Affected Periods.
−Removed: Additionally,
−Removed: this material weakness could result in a misstatement of the aforementioned account balances or disclosures that would result in
−Removed: a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or timely detected.
−Removed: Remediation Plan for the Material Weakness
−Removed: In order to remediate the material weakness,
−Removed: the Company’s management plans to enhance the design of its control over the consideration of all related relevant accounting
−Removed: guidance for the initial recording and subsequent measurements of non-routine transactions.
−Removed: The material weakness cannot be considered
−Removed: remediated until the newly designed control activity operates for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through
−Removed: testing, that all related relevant accounting guidance for non-routine transactions has been considered in connection with the
−Removed: Company’s normal quarterly close and review procedures for each quarter.
−Removed: Until the material weakness is remediated, we will
−Removed: continue to perform additional analyses and other post-closing procedures to ensure that our consolidated financial statements
−Removed: are prepared in accordance with U.S.
−Removed: Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
−Removed: There have been no changes in the Company’s

+Added: Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financing Reporting Existing as of March 31, 2023
+Added: material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there
+Added: is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be
+Added: prevented or detected on a timely basis.
+Added: Management concluded that the previously
+Added: disclosed material weakness relating to the Company’s controls over the accounting for non-routine transactions continued to
+Added: exist as of March 31, 2023.

+Added: relevant accounting guidance when such transactions were recorded.
+Added: As disclosed in the Company’s Amendment No.
+Added: 10-K/A to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, and in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on
+Added: Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022, this material weakness resulted in the

+Added: 31, 2022, as discussed in Note 3.
+Added: The Company determined that the error was partially caused by the same material weakness that
+Added: existed as of June 30, 2022, September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022.
+Added: The material weakness discussed above continued to exist
+Added: as of March 31, 2023.
+Added: In addition to the material weakness discussed above, our management concluded that three other material
+Added: weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting existed as of March 31, 2023.
+Added: A cumulative listing of our material weaknesses
+Added: is disclosed below:
+Added: ● Control Environment:
+Added: Management did not design and maintain an effective control environment
+Added: based on the criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations Integrated Framework (2013) (“COSO Framework”).
+Added: Specifically, the Company does not have sufficient personnel with the appropriate levels of knowledge, experience, and training
+Added: in accounting and internal controls over financial reporting commensurate with the complexity of the Company’s business.
+Added: This material weakness contributed to additional material weaknesses related to the Company’s control activities as further
+Added: described below.
+Added: ● Risk Assessment:
+Added: Management did not design and maintain effective controls over the risk
+Added: assessment process.
+Added: Specifically, management does not have a formal process to identify, update, and assess risks due to changes
+Added: in the Company’s business practices, including entering into increasingly complex transactions that could significantly impact
+Added: the design and operation of the Company’s control activities.
+Added: ● Control Activities:
+Added: Management did not design and maintain effective controls, including
+Added: management review controls, related to non-routine transactions.
+Added: Specifically, management did not maintain effective controls over
+Added: monitoring and assessing the work of third-party specialists, including the evaluation of the appropriateness of accounting conclusions
+Added: that has resulted in misstatements.
+Added: In addition, the Company did not design and maintain effective controls related to the evaluation
+Added: of certain inputs and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of instruments and features associated with complex debt and
+Added: equity transactions.
+Added: Finally, management did not have policies and procedures for the reconsideration of existing agreements when
+Added: infrequent transactions occur.
+Added: ● Monitoring Activities:
+Added: Management did not design and maintain effective monitoring controls
+Added: to support timely evaluation of remediation of identified internal control deficiencies.
+Added: Additionally, these material weaknesses
+Added: could result in a misstatement of the account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual
+Added: or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or timely detected.
+Added: Plan for the Material Weaknesses
+Added: To address our material weaknesses identified
+Added: during the quarter ended March 31, 2023, we are currently devising a detailed plan to address each individual material weakness
+Added: identified, as well as the overall monitoring process, including the following:
+Added: ● In order to remediate the material weaknesses relating to the Company’s control environment
+Added: and risk assessment process, we plan to develop and implement controls to ensure work performed by Company personnel and other
+Added: experts is reviewed by individuals with the appropriate level of U.S.
+Added: GAAP knowledge and experience.
+Added: This may include separating
+Added: the performance and review of certain close procedures among current accounting personnel and/or engaging third party accounting
+Added: consultants with the requisite U.S.
+Added: GAAP knowledge and experience to perform work under the control and oversight of Company personnel.
+Added: In addition, we plan to enhance the design of our controls over the consideration of all related relevant accounting guidance for
+Added: the initial recording and subsequent measurements of non-routine transactions.
+Added: ● In order to remediate the material weakness relating to the Company’s controls activities,
+Added: we are in the process of designing and implementing controls over the completeness and accuracy of identifying and adequately assessing
+Added: the assumptions utilized in the valuation analysis of complex financial instruments, as well as engaging third party consultants
+Added: with the relevant background and expertise to perform the appropriate complex valuation analyses under the control and oversight
+Added: of Company personnel.
+Added: ● In order to remediate the material weakness relating to the Company’s controls over monitoring
+Added: activities, we plan to design and implement controls to manage and monitor our progress towards the remediation of internal control
+Added: deficiencies and material weaknesses, including oversight by, and periodic reporting to, the Audit Committee.
+Added: The process of designing and maintaining
+Added: effective internal control over financial reporting is a continuous effort that requires management to anticipate and react to
+Added: changes in our business, economic and regulatory environments and to expend significant resources.
+Added: As we continue to evaluate our
+Added: internal control over financial reporting, we may take additional actions to remediate the material weaknesses or modify the remediation
+Added: actions described above.
+Added: While we continue to devote significant
+Added: time and attention to these remediation efforts, the material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until management completes
+Added: the design and implementation of the actions described above and the controls operate for a sufficient period of time, and management
+Added: has concluded, through testing, that these controls are effective.
+Added: in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
+Added: Other than as discussed above, there have
+Added: been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2023,
+Added: that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial
