−Removed: financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Securities
−Removed: Exchange Act of 1934.
−Removed: Internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable
−Removed: assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
−Removed: statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
−Removed: in the United States of America.
−Removed: Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
−Removed: financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements or fraudulent acts.
−Removed: Also, projections
−Removed: of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls
−Removed: may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
−Removed: with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
−Removed: A control system, no matter how well designed,
−Removed: can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and
−Removed: presentation.
−Removed: control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable
−Removed: detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
−Removed: (ii) provide reasonable assurance
−Removed: that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with
−Removed: generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being
−Removed: made only in accordance with appropriate authorizations of management and directors of the Company;
−Removed: and (iii) provide reasonable
−Removed: assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets
−Removed: that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
−Removed: with the participation of our CEO and CFO, conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting
−Removed: as of December 31, 2021 based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee
−Removed: of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).
−Removed: Based on this assessment, management and our
−Removed: CEO and CFO, concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2021
−Removed: due to the following:
−Removed: revenue contracts that contained nonstandard terms and conditions were not appropriately evaluated in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: The material weakness identified resulted in errors in the Company's books and records which led to audit adjustments.
−Removed: The errors arising from the underlying revenue adjustments were not material to the financial statements
−Removed: reported in any interim or annual period and therefore, did not result in a revision to any previously filed financial statements.
−Removed: the control deficiencies could result in misstatements of the revenue accounts and related disclosures that would result in a material
−Removed: misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected in a timely manner.
−Removed: we have determined that the control deficiencies when evaluated in the aggregate constitute a material weakness.
−Removed: of Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
−Removed: material weakness as discussed above was primarily attributed to the uniqueness of certain of the Company’s contracts that
−Removed: contain nonstandard terms and conditions.
−Removed: Although the Company’s policies and procedures were in place to ensure guidance
−Removed: under ASC 606 were applied to the majority of its contracts accurately, the Control failed to operate in a manner to specifically
−Removed: identify the nonstandard terms that would impact revenue recognition.
−Removed: The Company is evaluating the material weakness identified and
−Removed: is developing a plan of remediation to strengthen our internal controls pertaining to evaluating revenue contracts that contain
−Removed: nonstandard terms and conditions.
−Removed: This remediation plan includes evaluating the manner in which we use third-party consulting firms
−Removed: with expertise in applying the revenue recognition guidance that will assist management with the assessment and evaluation of
−Removed: revenue contracts executed that contain nonstandard terms and conditions.
−Removed: 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
−Removed: Company is committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and believes that these remediation efforts will represent
−Removed: significant improvements in our controls.
−Removed: The Company has started to implement these steps, however, some of these steps will take time
−Removed: to be fully integrated and confirmed to be effective and sustainable.
−Removed: Additional controls may also be required over time.
−Removed: Until the remediation
−Removed: steps set forth above are fully implemented and tested, the material weakness described above will continue to exist.

−Removed: In our opinion, because of the
