CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
−Removed: EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
−Removed: (a) Evaluation of Disclosure and Control Procedures
−Removed: We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures”,
−Removed: as such terms are defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in
−Removed: our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and
−Removed: forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”)
−Removed: and Principal Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
−Removed: The Company acknowledges that
−Removed: any controls and procedures can provide only reasonable assurances of achieving the desired control objectives.
−Removed: We have carried out an evaluation as required by Rule
−Removed: 13a-15(d) under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting
−Removed: Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025.
−Removed: Based upon their
−Removed: evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2025, the Company’s disclosure
−Removed: controls and procedures were not effective.
−Removed: Although we have determined that the existing controls and procedures are not effective, the
−Removed: deficiencies identified have not been deemed material to our reporting disclosures.
−Removed: (b) Management’s Report on Internal Controls
−Removed: over Financial Reporting
−Removed: The Company’s management is responsible for
−Removed: establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f)
−Removed: and 15d-15(f).
−Removed: Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive
−Removed: Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, and affected by our Board, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding
−Removed: the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
−Removed: accepted accounting principles.
−Removed: Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide
−Removed: absolute assurance of achieving their objectives.
−Removed: Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence
−Removed: and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgement and breakdowns resulting from human failures.
−Removed: Due to their inherent limitations,
−Removed: there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: It is possible to design safeguards to reduce, but not eliminate, this risk.
−Removed: Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining
−Removed: adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company.
−Removed: Management has used the framework set forth in the
−Removed: report entitled Internal Control—Integrated Framework published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
−Removed: (2013 framework), known as COSO, to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination
−Removed: of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
−Removed: of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
−Removed: Based on such an evaluation,
−Removed: our CEO concluded that, as of March 31, 2025, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective.
−Removed: As a result of our evaluation, we identified a material
−Removed: weakness in our controls related to segregation of duties and other immaterial weaknesses in several areas of data management and documentation.
−Removed: Our management is composed of a small number of professionals
−Removed: resulting in a situation where limitations on segregation of duties exist.
−Removed: Accordingly, and as a result of the material weakness identified
−Removed: above, we have concluded that the control deficiencies result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or
−Removed: interim financial statements may not be prevented on a timely basis by the Company’s internal controls.
−Removed: We continue to employ and
−Removed: refine a structure in which critical accounting policies, issues and estimates are identified, and together with other complex areas,
−Removed: are subject to multiple reviews by executives.
−Removed: In addition, we evaluate and assess our internal controls and procedures regarding our
−Removed: financial reporting, utilizing standards incorporating applicable portions of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s 2009
−Removed: Guidance for Smaller Public Companies in Auditing Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting as necessary on an on-going basis.
−Removed: While the material weakness set forth above was the
−Removed: result of the scale of the Company’s operations and is intrinsic to its small size, the Company believes the risk of material misstatements
−Removed: relative to financial reporting are minimal.
−Removed: This annual report does not include an attestation
−Removed: report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: Management’s report was not
−Removed: subject to attestation by its registered public accounting firm pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection
−Removed: Act, which permits the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
−Removed: (c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial
−Removed: There were no changes in our internal control over
−Removed: financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter
−Removed: that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
