+Added: of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
+Added: of September 30, 2023, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated
+Added: the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act).
+Added: Our CEO and CFO have concluded, based upon the
+Added: evaluation described above, that, as of September 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the
+Added: reasonable assurance level because of the material weaknesses discussed below.
+Added: Notwithstanding the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below, our management
+Added: has concluded that our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K are fairly stated in all material respects in accordance
+Added: material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is
+Added: a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented
+Added: or detected on a timely basis.
+Added: connection with the preparation of our audited financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2022, we identified material weaknesses
+Added: in our internal controls over financial reporting, as of September 30, 2022.
+Added: These material weaknesses had not been fully remediated
+Added: as of September 30, 2023.
+Added: The material weaknesses identified related to the fact that we did not design and maintain accounting policies,
+Added: procedures and controls to ensure complete, accurate and timely financial reporting in accordance with U.S.
+Added: Specifically, the material
+Added: weaknesses identified included the following:
+Added: not design and maintain formal accounting policies, procedures and controls to achieve complete, accurate and timely financial accounting,
+Added: reporting and disclosures, including controls over the preparation and review of account reconciliations, journal entries and classification
+Added: of certain costs;
+Added: had not developed and effectively communicated to our employees our accounting policies and procedures, which resulted in inconsistent
+Added: Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these
+Added: circumstances constitute a material weakness;
+Added: do not have sufficient, qualified finance and accounting staff with the appropriate U.S.
+Added: GAAP technical accounting expertise to identify,
+Added: evaluate and account for accounting and financial reporting, and effectively design and implement systems and processes that allow
+Added: for the timely production of accurate financial information in accordance with internal financial reporting timelines.
+Added: we did not design and maintain formal accounting policies, processes and controls related to complex transactions necessary for an
+Added: effective financial reporting process;
+Added: a high-growth, smaller reporting company that became responsible for listed financial reporting within the last eighteen (18) months,
+Added: we have a limited staff and budget available to adequately test and monitor the effectiveness of certain internal controls.
+Added: management is actively engaged and committed to taking the steps necessary to remediate the control deficiencies that constituted the
+Added: material weaknesses.
+Added: During fiscal year 2023, we made the following enhancement to our control environment:
+Added: February 2023, we hired a permanent Staff Accountant whose responsibilities include working with our CFO, existing employees and
+Added: third-party consultants to improve the design, implementation, execution and supervision of our controls.
+Added: We expect to continue evaluating
+Added: our needs for additional personnel.
+Added: We expect to provide enhanced training to existing and new employees in order to enhance the
+Added: level of communication and understanding of controls with personnel that provide key information and perform key roles within our
+Added: financial accounting and reporting function;
+Added: began documenting accounting policies, procedures and controls to achieve complete, accurate, and timely financial accounting, reporting
+Added: and disclosures including controls over the preparation and review of account reconciliations, journal entries and classification
+Added: of certain costs.
+Added: remediation activities are continuing during fiscal year 2024.
+Added: In addition to the above actions, we expect to engage in additional activities,
+Added: including, but not limited to:
+Added: external consultants to provide support and to assist us in our evaluation of more complex applications of GAAP, and to assist us
+Added: with documenting and assessing our accounting policies and procedures until we have sufficient technical accounting resources;
+Added: business process-level controls across all significant accounts and information technology general controls across all relevant systems.
+Added: This includes providing training for control owners that will present expectations as it relates to the control design, execution
+Added: and monitoring of such controls, including enhancements to the documentation to evidence the execution of the controls;
+Added: improvements to our accounting system to enhance the accuracy of our financial records.
+Added: continue to enhance corporate oversight over process-level controls and structures to ensure that there is appropriate assignment of
+Added: authority, responsibility, and accountability to enable remediation of our material weaknesses.
+Added: We believe that our remediation plan
+Added: will be sufficient to remediate the identified material weaknesses and strengthen our controls.
+Added: As we continue to evaluate, and work
+Added: to improve our controls, management may determine that additional measures to address control deficiencies or modifications to the remediation
+Added: plan are necessary.
+Added: we have performed certain remediation activities to strengthen our controls to address the identified material weaknesses, control weaknesses
+Added: are not considered remediated until new internal controls have been operational for a period of time, are tested, and management concludes
+Added: that these controls are operating effectively.
+Added: We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of our remediation measures in connection
+Added: with our future assessments of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures,
+Added: and we will make any changes to the design of our plan and take such other actions that we deem appropriate given the circumstances.
Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
−Removed: management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined
−Removed: in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act.
−Removed: Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding
−Removed: the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes, in accordance with generally
−Removed: accepted accounting principles.
−Removed: Because of inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent
−Removed: or detect all misstatements.
−Removed: Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls
−Removed: may become inadequate due to change in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
−Removed: control over financial reporting is defined, under the Exchange Act, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the issuer’s
−Removed: principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the issuer’s Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
−Removed: preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those
−Removed: policies and procedures that:
−Removed: to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets
−Removed: of the issuer;
−Removed: reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with
−Removed: generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with
−Removed: authorizations of management and directors of the issuer;
−Removed: reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer’s
−Removed: assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
−Removed: Company’s principal executive officers have assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial
−Removed: reporting as of September 30, 2022.
−Removed: In making this assessment, the Company’s principal executive officers were guided by the
−Removed: releases issued by the SEC and to the extent applicable the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued
−Removed: by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 Update).
−Removed: The Company’s principal executive
−Removed: officers have concluded that based on their assessment, as of September 30, 2022, that our internal control over financial reporting
−Removed: were not effective and require remediation in order to be effective at the reasonable assurance level.
−Removed: Prior to the Business
−Removed: Combination, we have been a private company with limited accounting personnel and other resources necessary for effective internal
−Removed: controls over financial reporting.
−Removed: In addition, our auditors identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial
−Removed: reporting during the audit of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022.
−Removed: A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of
−Removed: deficiencies, in internal controls, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or
−Removed: interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
−Removed: The material weaknesses identified relate to the
−Removed: fact that we did not design and maintain an effective control environment commensurate with our financial reporting requirements,
−Removed: including (a) lack of a sufficient number of trained professionals with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge, training and
−Removed: experience and (b) lack of accounting research on critical accounting policies including business combinations and specifically
−Removed: the valuation of warrants in calculating the consideration paid during the Business Combination.
−Removed: Management’s general assessment of the above processes in light of the company’s size, maturity and
−Removed: complexity, as to the design and effectiveness of the internal controls over financial reporting is that the key controls and
−Removed: procedures in each of these processes provide reasonable assurance regarding reliability of financial reporting and the preparation
−Removed: of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
−Removed: The remediation efforts we will undertake during fiscal year 2023 are intended to increase our accounting knowledge,
−Removed: training, and experience through increased staffing and engagement with the appropriate third-party subject matter experts.
−Removed: are cautioned that internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations and may not prevent
−Removed: or detect misstatements.
−Removed: Therefore, even effective internal control over financial reporting can only provide reasonable assurance with
−Removed: respect to the financial statement preparation and presentation.
+Added: We are engaged in the process of design and implementation of our internal control over financial reporting in a
+Added: manner commensurate with the scale of our operations subsequent to the Business Combination, including the enhancement of our internal
+Added: and external technical accounting resources (as well as to address the material weaknesses discussed above).
+Added: However, the design of internal
+Added: control over financial reporting for our company post-business combination has required and will continue to require significant time
+Added: and resources from management and other personnel.
+Added: As a result, management was unable, without incurring unreasonable effort or expense
+Added: to fully assess our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2023.
