+Added: Based upon this assessment, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2025, due to a material weakness

+Added: management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined
+Added: in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
+Added: Internal control over financial reporting is designed to
+Added: provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
+Added: purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
+Added: Because of its inherent limitations,
+Added: internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements or fraudulent acts.
+Added: Also, projections of any evaluation
+Added: of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions,
+Added: or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
+Added: A control system, no matter how well designed,
+Added: can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
+Added: control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable

+Added: Based on this assessment, management and our CEO and
+Added: CFO concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as
+Added: of December 31, 2025, due to the following:
+Added: the Treatment Segment, management did not have a completeness check control effectively designed and implemented that would provide assurance
+Added: that revenue for waste disposal was appropriately accounted for as part of the period-end revenue reconciliation process.
+Added: weakness identified resulted in errors in our books and records which led to identified adjustments.
+Added: The errors arising from the underlying
+Added: revenue adjustments were not material to the financial statements previously reported in any interim or annual period.
+Added: However, the control
+Added: deficiency could result in misstatements of Treatment Segment revenue that could result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim
+Added: consolidated financial statements.
+Added: Accordingly, we have determined that the control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
+Added: of Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
+Added: We are in the process of developing and implementing a remediation plan
+Added: to strengthen our internal controls.
+Added: This remediation plan includes implementing completeness checks and additional reconciliation procedures,
+Added: as it relates to processed waste and our inventory waste management systems at our Treatment Segment.

+Added: improvements in our controls.
+Added: We have begun implementing certain elements of this plan;
+Added: however, some of these steps will take time to be fully integrated
+Added: and confirmed to be effective and sustainable.
+Added: Additional controls may also be required over time.
