4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls
and Procedures
Our
Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (our
principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) conducted an evaluation of the design and operation of our “disclosure
controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange
Act”)). The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined
in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures
of a company that are designed to ensure
that information required to be disclosed by
the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported, within the time periods specified
in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, 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 accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal
executive officer and principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate,
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In accordance with SEC rules,
an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial
Officer of the effectiveness, as of December 31, 2025, of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)
under the Exchange Act). “Internal control over financial reporting” includes those policies and procedures that:
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately
and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the issuer;
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary
to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures
of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and
(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Based
on that evaluation as of December 31, 2025, our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures
are effective.
Internal
Control over Financial Reporting
During
the three months ended December 31, 2025, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule
13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
26
Inherent Limitations
on the Effectiveness of Controls
In designing and evaluating
our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any system of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed
and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management
necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Because of its inherent
limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
