ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

ITEM 9A.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted 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 SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), we carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our management, including Steve G. Johnson, our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and principal executive officer, and Jason T. Thompson, our principal financial officer and chief accounting officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Report.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and principal financial and chief accounting officer, our management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2024. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and principal financial and chief accounting officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2024 due to the continuing existence of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below (which we view as an integral part of our disclosure controls and procedures). Based on the performance of additional procedures designed to ensure the reliability of our financial reporting, we believe that the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates, and for the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).

Cybersecurity Incident Disclosure Provision

In compliance with recent Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) cybersecurity requirements, we acknowledge the heightened risks associated with cyber threats that could adversely affect our business operations, financial condition, and reputation. Recognizing the evolving regulatory environment, we have implemented a comprehensive cybersecurity program, encompassing regular risk assessments, employee training, advanced security technologies, and incident response plans. In accordance with SEC guidelines, we commit to timely and accurate disclosure of material cybersecurity incidents, detailing their nature, scope, potential impact, and remediation efforts. We actively evaluate and update our cybersecurity measures to adapt to evolving threats, collaborate with third-party service providers to mitigate risks, and engage with cybersecurity experts to ensure ongoing compliance and transparency. Investors are advised to carefully consider the cybersecurity risks outlined herein before making investment decisions. We have updated our cybersecurity policies and procedures accordingly.

Material Weakness and Remediation Plan

A material weakness 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. Management has determined that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of the year ended December 31, 2024 due to the existence of the material weaknesses described below.

Based on additional procedures and post-closing review, Management concluded that the consolidated financial statements including this report present fairly, in all material respects, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles accepted in the United States.

We began to take steps to address our material weaknesses, through our remediation plan. We implemented the following measures:

●Identify and employ additional full-time highly qualified accounting personnel to join the corporate accounting function to enhance overall monitoring, maintain standard internal controls, and accounting oversight within the Company.
●The Company hired an Accounting Manager on June 21, 2023 and a Staff Accountant on August 16, 2023 in addition to the certified public accountant (“CPA”) as its Controller.
●Implement enhanced documentation associated with management review controls and validation of the completeness and accuracy of financial reporting and key management financial reports.
●Provide training of standard operating procedures and internal controls to key stakeholders within the supply chain, logistics, and inventory processes.
●Enhance and automate existing internal control to ensure proper authorization, review, and recording of financial transactions.
●On an as-needed basis, identify and engage certain third-party subject matter experts to assist with the preparation and reporting of complex business and accounting transactions.
●Engaged RRBB and Bass Tax Group as our tax consultants.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Other than as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the quarter ended December 31, 2024 that materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Controls

Our management can provide no assurance that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting can prevent all errors and all fraud under all circumstances. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been or will be detected. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
