Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial
reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange
Act ”), as of March 31, 2026.
To ensure that information required to be disclosed
by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time
periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, including to ensure that information required to
be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on the evaluation performed as of March
31, 2026, as a result of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that are previously disclosed under “Part
II - Item 9A - Controls and Procedures” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date in that:
●
We failed to design adequate controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance
that U.S. GAAP was being properly applied to the matters resulting into the restatement of our quarterly financial statements, including
recognition of revenue in case of deferred payment sales, recognition of right of use of certain assets and lease liabilities and
functional and other classifications, also leading to certain accounting errors as described in details in the restatement notes
as included in the respective amended quarterly financial statements.
●
We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures.
Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
●
We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which
is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may
not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording
of transactions should be performed by separate individuals.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a
reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on
a timely basis.
Remediation Plan
The Company has been addressing and remediating
these material weaknesses with the support and assistance of the accounting and financial staff employed by our Indian operating subsidiary.
We have enhanced the review process for significant transactions to ensure proper accounting treatment under applicable guidelines and
have engaged the external experts to provide guidance to the Company staff in the areas of financial reporting, internal controls, and
enterprise risk management and assist it in the application of accounting principles to complex transactions. This external expert group
is also helping the Company in strengthening its existing internal controls, policies and Standard Operating Procedures (“ SOPs ”)
in all the major functional areas.
In addition, we have also engaged services of
external experts in the field of designing, development and implementation of a comprehensive cloud-based ERP system. The ERP implementation
process involves a detailed process study of each of the business functions and engagement with their respective process owners, identifying
their linkages with other business functions and designing report formats, data sourcing and customizing the ERP system and training
of the respective teams to meet the business data flow and reporting requirements of each business function. Post completion of roll
out of all the functional modules under this new cloud-based ERP system which is designed to integrate all business functions within
the accounting and financial department would help us in further addressing the abovementioned weaknesses.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer do not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. Although our disclosure
controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, a control system, no matter how
well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Further,
the design of any control system is subject to resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their
costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all
control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the fact that
judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. There can be no assurance
that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial
Reporting
Except for the remediation efforts described
above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this
report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
