9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As
of October 2, 2022, management performed, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer,
an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange
Act. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the report we file or
submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s forms,
and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management including our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal
Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on the evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer
and our Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of October 2, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During
the quarter ended October 2, 2022, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management
is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations,
internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projection of any evaluation of effectiveness
to future periods is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management
has conducted, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, an assessment, including
testing of the effectiveness, of our internal control over financial reporting as of October 2, 2022. Management’s assessment of
internal control over financial reporting was conducted using the criteria in the 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
A
material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is
a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected
on a timely basis. In connection with our management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting as required
under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we have not identified any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial
reporting as of October 2, 2022. We have thus concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of October
2, 2022.
