+Added: Based on this assessment, management and our
+Added: CEO and CFO, concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2021
+Added: due to the following:
+Added: revenue contracts that contained nonstandard terms and conditions were not appropriately evaluated in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue
+Added: from Contracts with Customers.” Specifically, management did not have the appropriate controls in place over the determination of revenue recognition for nonroutine and complex revenue transactions.
+Added: The material weakness identified resulted in errors in the Company's books and records which led to audit adjustments.
+Added: The errors arising from the underlying revenue adjustments were not material to the financial statements
+Added: reported in any interim or annual period and therefore, did not result in a revision to any previously filed financial statements.
+Added: the control deficiencies could result in misstatements of the revenue accounts and related disclosures that would result in a material
+Added: misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected in a timely manner.
+Added: we have determined that the control deficiencies when evaluated in the aggregate constitute a material weakness.
+Added: of Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
+Added: material weakness as discussed above was primarily attributed to the uniqueness of certain of the Company’s contracts that
+Added: contain nonstandard terms and conditions.
+Added: Although the Company’s policies and procedures were in place to ensure guidance
+Added: under ASC 606 were applied to the majority of its contracts accurately, the Control failed to operate in a manner to specifically
+Added: identify the nonstandard terms that would impact revenue recognition.
+Added: The Company is evaluating the material weakness identified and
+Added: is developing a plan of remediation to strengthen our internal controls pertaining to evaluating revenue contracts that contain
+Added: nonstandard terms and conditions.
+Added: This remediation plan includes evaluating the manner in which we use third-party consulting firms
+Added: with expertise in applying the revenue recognition guidance that will assist management with the assessment and evaluation of
+Added: revenue contracts executed that contain nonstandard terms and conditions.
+Added: In conjunction with further evaluation of this relationship, management will also perform a more rigorous evaluation of these nonstandard revenue contracts in accordance with ASC
+Added: Company is committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and believes that these remediation efforts will represent
+Added: significant improvements in our controls.
+Added: The Company has started to implement these steps, however, some of these steps will take time
