9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The
Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures
as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial
Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective
such that the information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and
communicated to the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation
of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been
detected.
Management’s
Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management
is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f)
under 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 consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even
those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
The
Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020. Based on this evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial
Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, internal control over financial reporting was effective.
The
consolidated financial statements of the Company for 2020 have been audited by the independent registered public accounting firm
of Ramirez Jimenez International CPAs who were given unrestricted access to all financial records and related data, including
minutes of all meetings of stockholders and the Board of Directors. This annual report does not include an attestation report
from the independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s
report was not subject to attestation by the independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities
and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There
have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM
10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Board
Composition
Our
board of directors consists of four directors. Our board of directors has determined that the following directors are “independent”
as defined under the rules of the OTC American: Hannah Bible, Louis Parks, and John Chanaud. On November 13, 2019, Hannah Bible
was nominated and assumed the role of Chairperson. The authorized number of directors may be changed by resolution of our board
of directors amending the applicable by-law provision. Vacancies on our board of directors can be filled by resolution of our
board of directors.
Board
Leadership and Role in Risk Oversight
Meetings
of our board of directors are presided over by our chairperson of the board, Hannah Bible. Our board of directors believes that
Hannah Bible is currently best situated to preside over meetings of our board of directors because of her familiarity with SEC
regulations, board protocols, our staffing business and ability to effectively identify strategic priorities and lead the discussion
and execution of our strategy.
Our
board of directors oversees the risk management activities designed and implemented by our management and executes its oversight
responsibility for risk management directly. The full board of directors also considers specific risk topics, including risks
associated with our strategic plan, business operations and capital structure. In addition, our board of directors receives detailed
regular reports from members of our executive management who are also board members that include assessments of risk, exposures,
and plans for mitigation.
Our
other board of directors’ committees also consider and address risk as they perform their respective committee responsibilities.
All committees report to the full board of directors as appropriate, including when a matter rises to the level of a material
or enterprise level risk.
Committees
of the Board of Directors
The
standing committees of our board of directors consist of an Audit Committee and a Compensation Committee. Each of the committees
reports to our board of directors as they deem appropriate and as our board may request. The composition, duties and responsibilities

questionable accounting, internal controls or auditing matters; (6) reviewing and approving related person transactions; and (7)
overseeing the risk management process.
Our
Audit Committee consists of John Chanaud (Chairman), Hannah Bible and Louis Parks. We believe that each qualifies as independent directors
according to the rules and regulations of the SEC and OTC American with respect to audit committee membership. We also believe that Mr.
Chanaud qualifies as our “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation
S-K. Our board of directors has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee, which is available on our corporate website under

to delegate any of its responsibilities, along with the authority to act in relation to such responsibilities, to one or more
subcommittees as the committee may deem appropriate in its sole discretion. The Compensation Committee may invite such members
of management to its meetings as it deems appropriate. However, the Compensation Committee meets regularly without such members
present, and in all cases no officer may be present at meetings at which such officer’s compensation or performance is discussed
or determined. The Committee has the authority, in its sole discretion, to select, retain and obtain the advice of a compensation
consultant as necessary to assist with the execution of its duties and responsibilities. Neither the Compensation Committee nor

for the Compensation Committee.

Janumpally (individually and in her capacity as trustee of Judos Trust); Kalyan Pathuri
(individually in his capacity as trustee of Igly Trust) and Federal Systems (the “Respondents”).
The Arbitration alleges that certain of the Respondents breached the Merger Agreement
providing for the Merger of MMG into a subsidiary of Reliability, in a number of significant
respects and potentially committed fraud in connection with the Merger. The Company is
seeking damages which if granted will likely be the remedy set forth within the merger
agreement which is primarily the relinquishment in whole or in part shares of Company
Common Stock received by the Respondents in connection with the Merger. The Company has
brought a motion to compel the Arbitration in accordance with the Merger Agreement which
is currently being decided by the Federal Courts in New York. The Company believes a
strong basis for the motion exists, but no assurance can be given that it will be granted.
Regardless, the Company intends to pursue claims under the Merger Agreement in whatever
venue is required.
The Company is
seeking damages which if granted will likely be the remedy set forth within the merger agreement which is primarily the relinquishment

13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Policy
on Review and Approval of Transactions with Related Persons
Our
board of directors is currently primarily responsible for developing and implementing processes and controls to obtain information
from our directors, executive officers and significant stockholders regarding related-person transactions and then determining,
based on the facts and circumstances, whether we or a related person has a direct or indirect material interest in these transactions.
Our Audit Committee is responsible for the review, approval and ratification of “related-person transactions” between
us and any related person. Under SEC rules, a related person is a director, executive officer, nominee for director or beneficial
holder of more than of 5% of any class of our voting securities or an immediate family member of any of the foregoing. In the
course of its review and approval or ratification of a related-person transaction, the Audit Committee will consider:
●
the
nature of the related person’s interest in the transaction;
●
the
material terms of the transaction, including the amount involved and type of transaction;
●
the
importance of the transaction to the related person and to the Company;
●
whether
the transaction would impair the judgment of a director or executive officer to act in our best interest and the best interest
of our stockholders; and
●
any
other matters the Audit Committee deems appropriate.
Any
member of the Audit Committee who is a related person with respect to a transaction under review will not be able to participate
in the deliberations or vote on the approval or ratification of the transaction. However, such a director may be counted in determining
the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the committee that considers the transaction.
