Item 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 filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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 Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer or persons performing similar functions, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2023.

Based on this evaluation, our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer have concluded that during the period covered by this Annual Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level and, accordingly, provided reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

●pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
●provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
●provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 Framework). Based on our evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2023.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal controls 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.

The review, testing and evaluation of key internal controls over financial reporting completed by the Company resulted in the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer concluding that as of December 31, 2023, material weaknesses existed in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. Specifically, in connection with our:

(i)The lack of adequate policies and procedures in control environment and monitoring controls to ensure that the Company’s policies and procedures have been carried out as planned.
(ii)Lack of accounting personnel resources with the necessary levels of accounting expertise and knowledge to compile and analyze consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
(iii)Segregation of duties: The accounting manager can prepare and post the same journal entries in the accounting system, which increases the risk of misstatement and fraud. In addition, the reconciliations and financial statements have been prepared by the accounting manager, however, no proper review has been implemented.

The Company has and will continue to address the material weaknesses described above through the following actions:

●Engaging third-party consultants with appropriate expertise to assist the finance and accounting department on an interim basis until key roles are filled;
●Assessing finance and accounting resources to identify the areas and functions that lack sufficient personnel and recruiting for experienced personnel to assume these roles;
●Further centralization of key accounting processes to enable greater segregation of duties;
●Developing further training on segregation of duties; and
●Designing and implementing additional compensating controls where necessary.

While we continue working diligently to remediate these material weaknesses, there is no assurance that these material weaknesses will be fully remediated by December 31, 2024.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
