CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
−Removed: Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
−Removed: We are required to comply with the internal control requirements of
−Removed: the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for the period ending December 31, 2021 and thereafter.
−Removed: Only in the event that we are deemed to be a large accelerated
−Removed: filer or an accelerated filer and no longer qualify as an emerging growth company would we be required to comply with the independent
−Removed: registered public accounting firm attestation requirement on internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: Further, for as long as we remain
−Removed: an emerging growth company as defined in the JOBS Act, we intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements
−Removed: that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not
−Removed: being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirement.
−Removed: Disclosure controls are procedures with the objective of ensuring that
−Removed: information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act, such as this report, is recorded, processed, summarized and
−Removed: reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
−Removed: Disclosure controls are designed with the objective of ensuring
−Removed: that information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
−Removed: as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
−Removed: We expect to assess the internal controls of our Target Business or
−Removed: businesses prior to the completion of our initial Business Combination and, if necessary, to implement and test additional controls as
−Removed: we may determine are necessary in order to state that we maintain an effective system of internal controls.
−Removed: A Target Business may not
−Removed: be in compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding the adequacy of internal controls.
−Removed: Many small and mid-sized Target
−Removed: Businesses we may consider for our initial Business Combination may have internal controls that need improvement in areas such as:
−Removed: staffing for financial, accounting and external reporting areas, including segregation of duties;
−Removed: reconciliation of accounts;
−Removed: proper recording of expenses and liabilities in the period to which they relate;
−Removed: evidence of internal review and approval of accounting transactions;
−Removed: documentation of processes, assumptions and conclusions underlying significant estimates;
−Removed: documentation of accounting policies and procedures.
−Removed: Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over
−Removed: financial reporting on March 31, 2024.
−Removed: In making these assessments, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring
−Removed: Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013).
−Removed: Based on that assessment, management
−Removed: concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
−Removed: Accordingly, our management believes that the financial statements
−Removed: included in this report present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods
−Removed: This report does not include an attestation report of internal controls
−Removed: from our independent registered public accounting firm due to our status as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act.
−Removed: Because it will take time, management involvement and perhaps outside
−Removed: resources to determine what internal control improvements are necessary for us to meet regulatory requirements and market expectations
−Removed: for our operation of a Target Business, we may incur significant expenses in meeting our public reporting responsibilities, particularly
−Removed: in the areas of designing, enhancing, or remediating internal and disclosure controls.
−Removed: Doing so effectively may also take longer than
−Removed: we expect, thus increasing our exposure to financial fraud or erroneous financing reporting.
−Removed: Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
−Removed: There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting
−Removed: (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially
−Removed: affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent
−Removed: all errors and all instances of fraud.
−Removed: Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only
−Removed: reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met.
−Removed: Further, the design of disclosure
−Removed: controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their
−Removed: Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
−Removed: can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any.
−Removed: The design of disclosure
−Removed: controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance
−Removed: that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
