ITEM
4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation
of disclosure controls and procedures and changes in internal controls over financial reporting.
Rule
13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), defines the term “disclosure
controls and procedures” as those controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company
in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including
its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.
Based
upon an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures performed by our management, with the participation
of our President and Chief Executive Officer, and our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, as of the end of the period covered by this
quarterly report, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable assurance level
in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
required time periods. No change in our “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the
Exchange Act) occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
