CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
−Removed: maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are
−Removed: designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded,
−Removed: processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated
−Removed: and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions
−Removed: regarding required disclosure.
−Removed: In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure
−Removed: controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives
−Removed: of the disclosure controls and procedures are met.
−Removed: Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily
−Removed: was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures.
−Removed: of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there
−Removed: can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
−Removed: the supervision and with the participation of our management, we conducted an evaluation, as of September 30, 2021, of the effectiveness
−Removed: of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures.
−Removed: Based upon our evaluation, our management, including our principal
−Removed: executive officer and principal financial officer, has concluded that, as of September 30, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures
−Removed: were not effective due to our limited internal audit functions and lack of ability to have multiple levels of transaction review.
−Removed: Company intends to address the foregoing deficiency by upgrading its accounting software to an ERP (“Enterprise Resource Planning”),
−Removed: a cloud-based solution, which would add the necessary controls to manage day to day activities such as accounting, procurement, project
−Removed: management, risk management and compliance as well as to automate the consolidation process of its entities, adding a level of reliability
−Removed: to the Company’s financial reporting.
−Removed: The Company proposes to add personnel to address the lack of ability to have multiple level
−Removed: transaction review.
−Removed: Management is addressing these steps immediately and has executed an agreement on August 11, 2021, to start implementation
−Removed: of replacing its current software to an ERP cloud-based solution.
−Removed: Management anticipates the new ERP solution to be fully operational
−Removed: by the second quarter of 2022.
+Added: management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f)
+Added: and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act.
+Added: Our management is also required to assess and report on the effectiveness of our internal control
+Added: over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
+Added: Management assessed the effectiveness of our
+Added: internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021.
+Added: In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee
+Added: of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013).
+Added: During our assessment
+Added: of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, management identified significant deficiencies
+Added: related to (i) our internal audit functions and (ii) a lack of segregation of duties within accounting functions.
+Added: Therefore, our internal
+Added: controls over financial reporting were not effective as of March 31, 2022.
+Added: has determined that our internal audit function is significantly deficient due to insufficient qualified resources to perform internal
+Added: audit functions.
+Added: to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible or economically feasible.
+Added: However, to the extent
+Added: possible, we will implement procedures to assure that the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions
+Added: will be performed by separate individuals.
+Added: believe that the foregoing steps will remediate the significant deficiency identified above, and we will continue to monitor the effectiveness
+Added: of these steps and make any changes that our management deems appropriate.
+Added: Due to the nature of this significant deficiency in our internal
+Added: control over financial reporting, there is more than a remote likelihood that misstatements which could be material to our annual or
+Added: interim financial statements could occur that would not be prevented or detected.
+Added: material weakness (within the meaning of PCAOB Auditing Standard No.
+Added: 5) is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal
+Added: control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial
+Added: statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
+Added: A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies,
+Added: in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by
+Added: those responsible for oversight of the company’s financial reporting.
+Added: of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
+Added: Projections of any evaluation
+Added: of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
+Added: the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
