+Added: Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and
+Added: other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange
+Added: Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
+Added: Disclosure controls
+Added: and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our
+Added: reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer
+Added: and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
+Added: Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
+Added: Under the supervision and with the participation of
+Added: our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of
+Added: our Disclosure Controls and Procedures (“DCPs”) as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2024, as such term is
+Added: defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.
+Added: Based on such evaluation at the time our Form 10-Q
+Added: for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was filed, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of March
+Added: 31, 2024, our DCPs were effective at a reasonable assurance level.
+Added: Subsequent to that evaluation and as a result of the material weakness
+Added: in our ICFR discussed below, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that during the three-month period
+Added: ended March 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
+Added: Our internal control over financial reporting did not
+Added: result in the proper accounting classification of financial information and presentation which, due to its material impact on our financial
+Added: statements, we determined to be a material weakness.
+Added: Therefore, on August 8, 2024, the Company filed a Form 10-Q/A for the three months
+Added: ended March 31, 2024, which corrected the accounting error of a vendor invoice that was inadvertently recorded in April 2024 rather than
+Added: the proper period of March 2024.
+Added: Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial
+Added: A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination
+Added: of deficiencies, in Internal Control over Financial Reporting (“ICFR”), such that there is a reasonable possibility that a
+Added: material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected in a timely manner.
+Added: We did not maintain effective controls over expense
+Added: recording and accruals.
+Added: Specifically, we did not maintain effective controls to timely identify and account for period cutoff and accruals
+Added: to the proper period.
+Added: This material weakness resulted in the restatement of our financial statements for the three months ended March
+Added: Remediation Plan
+Added: Upon identification of the material weakness, our
+Added: management developed a remediation plan to address the material weakness, which includes updating our procedures regarding the review
+Added: of expenses and accruals of expenses to the proper period.
+Added: Our management believes the measures described above
+Added: and others that may be implemented will remediate the material weakness that we have identified.
+Added: However, the material weakness will not
+Added: be considered remediated until there has been appropriate time for us to conclude through testing that the controls are operating effectively.
+Added: As our management continues to evaluate and improve
+Added: our ICFR, we may decide to take additional measures to address control deficiencies or determine to modify certain remediation measures
+Added: Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
+Added: There were no changes in our internal control over
+Added: financial reporting during the six months ended June 30, 2024, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
+Added: our internal control over financial reporting.
