Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of and with the participation of its management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms due to ineffective internal controls over financial reporting that stemmed from the following material weaknesses:
| ● | Lack of segregation of duties for accounting personnel who prepared and reviewed the journal entries in some of the subsidiaries within the consolidation, lack of supervision, coordination and communication of financial information between different entities within the Group; |
| ● | Lack of full time U.S. GAAP personnel in the accounting department to monitor and reconcile the recording of the transactions which led to error in revenue recognition in previously issued financial statements; |
| ● | Lack of resources with technical competency to address, review and record non-routine or complex transactions under U.S. GAAP; |
| ● | Lack of management control reviews of the budget against actual with analysis of the variance with a precision that can be explained through the analysis of the accounts; |
| ● | Lack of proper procedures in identifying and recording related party transactions which led to restatement of previously issued financial statements; |
| ● | Lack of proper procedures to maintain supporting documents for accounting records; and |
| ● | Lack of proper oversight for the Company’s cash disbursement process that led to misuse of the Company funds by its former executive. |
In order to remediate the material weaknesses stated above, we intend to implement additional policies and procedures, which include:
| ● | Hiring additional accounting staff to report the internal financial timely; |
| ● | Reporting other material and non-routine transactions to the Board and obtain proper approval; |
| ● | Recruiting additional qualified professionals with appropriate levels of U.S. GAAP knowledge and experience to assist in resolving accounting issues in non-routine or complex transactions; |
| ● | Developing and conducting U.S. GAAP knowledge, SEC reporting and internal control training to senior executives, management personnel, accounting departments and the IT staff, so that management and key personnel understand the requirements and elements of internal control over financial reporting mandated by the U.S. securities laws; |
| ● | Setting up budgets and developing expectations based on understanding of the business operations, compare the actual results with the expectations periodically and document the reasons of the fluctuations with further analysis. This should be done by CFO and reviewed by CEO, communicated with the Board; |
| ● | Strengthening corporate governance; |
| ● | Setting up policies and procedures for the Company’s related party identification to properly identify, record and disclose related party transactions; and |
| ● | Setting up proper procedures for the Company’s fund disbursement process to ensure that cash is disbursed only upon proper authorization, for valid business purposes, and that all disbursements are properly recorded. |
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. On April 24, 2025, we engaged Marcum Asia CPAs LLP to provide internal control over financial reporting best practices consulting services to the Company.
