Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as such item is defined in Rules 13a – 15(e) and 15d – 15(e) of the Exchange Act) that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that information, which is required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is accumulated and communicated to management in a timely manner. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated this system of disclosure controls and procedures in accordance with applicable Securities and Exchange Commission guidance as of the end of the period covered by this annual report and have concluded that disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with US GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP, and that the Company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) 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 consolidated financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our Chief Financial Officer, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the 1992 framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2025, because of a material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as discussed below.
Material weaknesses arose during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, related to the inherent risk associated with the lack of segregation of duties due to limited staffing in the accounting function. The Company plans to remediate the material weakness by adding additional personnel to the accounting function.
Material weaknesses arose during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, in the management review controls over classification of and disclosure of amounts within the financial statements resulting in revisions of amounts previously published in the March 31, 2024 financial statements. The material weaknesses continue to exist during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. The Company plans to remediate the material weakness by clarification of the classification of amounts and inclusion of the required disclosures.
Material weaknesses arose during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, that continued to exist in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, in the management review controls over the classification of and accounting for income taxes. The Company plans to remediate the material weakness by engaging an independent expert to review the Company’s current and deferred tax provisions.
Material weaknesses arose during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, that continued to exist in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 in management’s review and control over documentation supporting entries posted to the Company’s general ledger. The Company plans to remediate the material weakness by implementing procedures to improve the review of, and documentation used to support, entries to the Company’s general ledger.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except for the additional material weakness noted above there have been no other changes in internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025.
