Controls and Procedures
We
maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e), promulgated by the
SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Disclosure controls and procedures
include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company’s reports filed
under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules
and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer
and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation
of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated our company’s disclosure controls and procedures
as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive
officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of March 31, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were
not effective.
The
ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was due to the following material weaknesses which we identified in
our internal control over financial reporting: (1) the lack of multiples levels of management review on complex accounting and
financial reporting issues, (2) we had not implemented adequate system and manual controls, and (3) a lack of adequate segregation
of duties and necessary corporate accounting resources in our financial reporting process and accounting function as a result
of our limited financial resources to support hiring of personnel and implementation of accounting systems. Until such time as
we expand our staff to include additional accounting personnel and hire a full time chief financial officer, it is likely we will
continue to report material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.
Changes
in Internal Control
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period ended March 31, 2022 that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
