Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of December 31, 2023. Based on that evaluation, it was concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2023.
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting can also be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, the risk.
Management performed an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, using criteria established in theInternal Control - Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO-2013”). Based on that assessment, management identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, as further described below. Due to these material weaknesses, management concluded that internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, were not effective, based on COSO’s framework.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
As a result of our assessment, we have determined that the Company has a material weakness that relates to a lack of segregation of duties.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above did not have any effect on the Company’s financial results.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.

Remediation Plan for the Material Weaknesses
Management has been engaged in developing remediation plans to address the above material weaknesses. In order to address and resolve these deficiencies we are researching the options available given our financial means to do the following: (1) hire outside consultants to review the Company’s financial statements for complex transactions. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, we may determine to take additional measures to address the material weaknesses or determine to supplement or modify the remediation measures described above.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fourth fiscal quarter of 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
