9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under
the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that
such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject
to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies
or procedures may deteriorate.
As
required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, an evaluation as of December 31, 2024 was conducted under the supervision
and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness
of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation,
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of December 31, 2024,
were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management
is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting
is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of,
a company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer and effected by our Board of Directors, management and
other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Our internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedure that:
●
Pertain
to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets
of the issuer;
●
Provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with
GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with the authorization of management of
the issuer; and
●
Provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisitions, use or disposition of the issuer’s
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation
of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In
the course of preparing this Report and the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein, our management conducted an evaluation
of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 using the criteria issued by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commissions (COSO) in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Based on that
evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of December 31, 2024 our internal control over
financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2024. Management has reviewed its assessment with the Audit Committee.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d)
and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K that has materially affected,
or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(ii) one percent of the average of our total assets for the last two completed fiscal years, and in which a related person has or will

completed year, and their immediate family members.
In
considering related-person transactions, our audit committee or another independent body of our board of directors will take into account
the relevant available facts and circumstances including, but not limited to:

●
the
impact on a director’s independence in the event the related person is a director, immediate family member of a director or
an entity with which a director is affiliated;
●
the
terms of the transaction;
●
the
availability of other sources for comparable services or products; and
●
the
terms available to or from, as the case may be, unrelated third parties under the same or similar circumstances.
The
audit committee or other independent body of our board of directors will not approve any related party transaction unless it is on the
same basis as an arms’ length transaction and approved by a majority of the disinterested directors.
