−Removed: of our disclosure controls and procedures over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under
−Removed: the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report.
−Removed: Based on such evaluation, our Principal Executive
−Removed: Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, our disclosure
−Removed: controls and procedures were not effective because of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as
−Removed: discussed below.
−Removed: Notwithstanding
−Removed: this material weaknesses, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Consolidated Financial
−Removed: Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
−Removed: Company at December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for each of the fiscal years presented
−Removed: herein in conformity with U.S.
−Removed: generally accepted accounting principles.
−Removed: Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
−Removed: management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined
−Removed: in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act), as of December 31, 2020.
−Removed: The framework used by management in making
−Removed: the assessment was the criteria set forth in the document entitled “Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013)”
−Removed: issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
−Removed: Based on that assessment, our management has determined
−Removed: that as of December 31, 2020, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective for the purpose
−Removed: for which it is intended and determine there to be a material weakness.
−Removed: management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting,
−Removed: as required by Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Section 404(a).
−Removed: The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process
−Removed: designed under the supervision of the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer and effected
−Removed: by the Company’s Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
−Removed: of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance
−Removed: with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
−Removed: is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f)
−Removed: and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act.
−Removed: Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
−Removed: regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP.
−Removed: of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
−Removed: Also, projection
−Removed: of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes
−Removed: in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
−Removed: material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there
−Removed: is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not
−Removed: be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
−Removed: In connection with management’s assessment of our internal control over financial
−Removed: reporting as required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we identified the following material weaknesses in
−Removed: our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020:
−Removed: Company does not have sufficient resources in its accounting function, which restricts the Company’s ability to gather,
−Removed: analyze and properly review information related to financial reporting in a timely manner.
−Removed: In addition, due to our size and
−Removed: nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible.
−Removed: the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed
−Removed: by separate individuals.
−Removed: Company has inadequate controls to ensure that information necessary to properly record transactions is adequately communicated
−Removed: on a timely basis from non-financial personnel to those responsible for financial reporting.
−Removed: Company has significant deficiencies in the design and implementation of IT controls, specifically in the following areas:
−Removed: data center and network operations, access security and change management.
−Removed: of Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
−Removed: a company with limited resources, the Company does not have the resources to fund sufficient staff to ensure a complete segregation
−Removed: of responsibilities within the accounting function.
−Removed: However, Company management does review, and will increase the review of the
−Removed: financial statements.
−Removed: This action, in addition to future improvements identified above, will minimize any risk of a potential
−Removed: material misstatement occurring.
−Removed: Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
−Removed: have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth fiscal quarter of the year
−Removed: ended December 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over

+Added: Federal Income Tax Consequences
+Added: The following is a general summary of the material
+Added: federal income tax consequences of the grant and exercise and vesting of Awards under the Plan and the disposition of shares acquired
+Added: pursuant to the exercise of such Awards.
+Added: This summary is intended to reflect the current provisions of the Code and the regulations thereunder.
+Added: However, this summary is not intended to be a complete statement of applicable law, nor does it address foreign, state, local and payroll
+Added: tax considerations.
+Added: Moreover, the U.S.
+Added: federal income tax consequences to any particular participant may differ from those described herein
+Added: by reason of, among other things, the particular circumstances of such participant.
+Added: There are a number of requirements that must be met
+Added: for a particular Option to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option.
+Added: One such requirement is that Common Stock acquired through the exercise
+Added: of an Incentive Stock Option cannot be disposed of before the later of (i) two years from the date of grant of the Option, or (ii) one
+Added: year from the date of its exercise.
+Added: Holders of Incentive Stock Options will generally incur no federal income tax liability at the time
+Added: of grant or upon exercise of those Options.
+Added: However, the spread at exercise will be an “item of tax preference,” which may
+Added: give rise to “alternative minimum tax” liability for the taxable year in which the exercise occurs.
+Added: If the holder does not
+Added: dispose of the shares before the later of two years following the date of grant and one year following the date of exercise, the difference
+Added: between the exercise price and the amount realized upon disposition of the shares will constitute long-term capital gain or loss, as the
+Added: Assuming both holding periods are satisfied, no deduction will be allowed to the Company for federal income tax purposes
+Added: in connection with the grant or exercise of the Incentive Stock Option.
+Added: If, within two years following the date of grant or within one
+Added: year following the date of exercise, the holder of shares acquired through the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option disposes of those
+Added: shares, the Participant will generally realize taxable compensation at the time of such disposition equal to the difference between the
+Added: exercise price and the lesser of the Fair Market Value of the share on the date of exercise or the amount realized on the subsequent disposition
+Added: of the shares, and that amount will generally be deductible by the Company for federal income tax purposes, subject to the possible limitations
+Added: on deductibility under Sections 280G and 162(m) of the Code for compensation paid to executives designated in those Sections.
+Added: if an otherwise Incentive Stock Option becomes first exercisable in any one year for shares having an aggregate value in excess of $100,000
+Added: (based on the date of grant value), the portion of the Incentive Stock Option in respect of those excess shares will be treated as a non-qualified
+Added: stock option for federal income tax purposes.
+Added: No income will be realized by a Participant upon grant
+Added: of a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
+Added: Upon the exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, the Participant will recognize ordinary compensation
+Added: income in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the underlying exercised shares over the Option Exercise
+Added: Price paid at the time of exercise.
+Added: Such income will be subject to income tax withholdings, and the Participant will be required to pay
+Added: to the Company the amount of any required withholding taxes in respect to such income.
+Added: The Company will be able to deduct this same amount
+Added: federal income tax purposes, but such deduction may be limited under Sections 280G and 162(m) of the Code for compensation paid
+Added: to certain executives designated in those Sections.
+Added: Restricted Stock
+Added: A Participant will not be subject to tax upon the
+Added: grant of an Award of Restricted Stock unless the Participant otherwise elects to be taxed at the time of grant pursuant to Section 83(b)
+Added: On the date an Award of Restricted Stock becomes transferable or is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture,
+Added: the Participant will recognize ordinary compensation income equal to the difference between the Fair Market Value of the shares on that
+Added: date over the amount the Participant paid for such shares, if any.
+Added: Such income will be subject to income tax withholdings, and the Participant
+Added: will be required to pay to the Company the amount of any required withholding taxes in respect to such income.
+Added: If the Participant made
+Added: an election under Section 83(b) of the Code, the Participant will recognize ordinary compensation income at the time of grant equal to
+Added: the difference between the Fair Market Value of the shares on the date of grant over the amount the Participant paid for such shares,
+Added: if any, and any subsequent appreciation in the value of the shares will be treated as a capital gain upon sale of the shares.
+Added: rules apply to the receipt and disposition of Restricted Shares received by officers and directors who are subject to Section 16(b) of
+Added: the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).
+Added: The Company will be able to deduct, at the same time as it is recognized
+Added: by the Participant, the amount of taxable compensation to the participant for U.S.
+Added: federal income tax purposes, but such deduction may
+Added: be limited under Sections 280G and 162(m) of the Code for compensation paid to certain executives designated in those Sections.
+Added: Restricted Stock Units
+Added: A Participant will not be subject to tax upon the
+Added: grant of a Restricted Stock Unit Award.
+Added: Rather, upon the delivery of shares or cash pursuant to a Restricted Stock Unit Award, the Participant
+Added: will recognize ordinary compensation income equal to the Fair Market Value of the number of shares (or the amount of cash) the Participant
+Added: actually receives with respect to the Award.
+Added: Such income will be subject to income tax withholdings, and the Participant will be required
+Added: to pay to the Company the amount of any required withholding taxes in respect to such income.
+Added: The Company will be able to deduct the amount
+Added: of taxable compensation recognized by the Participant for U.S.
+Added: federal income tax purposes, but the deduction may be limited under Sections
+Added: 280G and 162(m) of the Code for compensation paid to certain executives designated in those Sections.
+Added: No income will be realized by a Participant upon grant
+Added: Upon the exercise of an SAR, the Participant will recognize ordinary compensation income in an amount equal to the Fair Market
+Added: Value of the payment received in respect of the SAR.
+Added: Such income will be subject to income tax withholdings, and the Participant will
+Added: be required to pay to the Company the amount of any required withholding taxes in respect to such income.
+Added: The Company will be able to
+Added: deduct this same amount for U.S.
+Added: federal income tax purposes, but such deduction may be limited under Sections 280G and 162(m) of the
+Added: Code for compensation paid to certain executives designated in those Sections.
+Added: Stock Bonus Awards
+Added: A Participant will recognize ordinary compensation
+Added: income equal to the difference between the Fair Market Value of the shares on the date the shares of common stock subject to the Award
+Added: are transferred to the Participant over the amount the Participant paid for such shares, if any, and any subsequent appreciation in the
+Added: value of the shares will be treated as a capital gain upon sale of the shares.
+Added: The Company will be able to deduct, at the same time as
+Added: it is recognized by the Participant, the amount of taxable compensation to the Participant for U.S.
+Added: federal income tax purposes, but such
+Added: deduction may be limited under Sections 280G and 162(m) of the Code for compensation paid to certain executives designated in those Sections.
+Added: Section 162(m)
+Added: In general, Section 162(m) of the Code denies a publicly
+Added: held corporation a deduction for U.S.
+Added: federal income tax purposes for compensation in excess of $1,000,000 per year per person paid to
+Added: its principal executive officer and the three other officers (other than the principal executive officer and principal financial officer)
+Added: whose compensation is disclosed in its proxy statement/prospectus as a result of their total compensation, subject to certain exceptions.
+Added: The Plan is intended to satisfy an exception with respect to grants of Options to covered employees.
+Added: In addition, the Plan is designed
+Added: to permit certain Awards of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, cash bonus awards and other Awards to be awarded as performance
+Added: compensation awards intended to qualify under the “performance-based compensation” exception to Section 162(m) of the Code.
+Added: New Plan Benefits
+Added: Future grants under the Plan will be made at the discretion
+Added: of the Committee and, accordingly, are not yet determinable.
+Added: In addition, the value of the Awards granted under the Plan will depend on
+Added: a number of factors, including the Fair Market Value of the shares of common stock on future dates, the exercise decisions made by the
+Added: Participants and/or the extent to which any applicable performance goals necessary for vesting or payment are achieved.
+Added: Consequently,
+Added: it is not possible to determine the benefits that might be received by Participants receiving discretionary grants under, or having their
+Added: annual bonus paid pursuant to, the Plan.
+Added: Interests of Directors or Officers
+Added: The Company’s directors may grant Awards under
+Added: the Plan to themselves as well as to the Company’s officers and other employees, consultants and advisors.
