PROPOSAL THREE:
RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF RBSM LLP AS THE COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2024
The Board has appointed RBSM LLP (“RBSM”) as our independent registered public accounting firm to audit our financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. The Board proposes that our Stockholders ratify this appointment. RBSM has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since December 28, 2017.
We expect that representatives of RBSM will be available via phone at the Annual Meeting, will be able to make a statement if they so desire, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.
Stockholder ratification of the selection of RBSM as our independent registered public accounting firm is not required by our Bylaws or the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Board seeks such ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. Should the Stockholders fail to ratify the selection of RBSM as our independent registered public accounting firm, the Board will reconsider whether to retain that firm for fiscal year 2024. In deciding to appoint RBSM, the Board, standing in for the vacant Audit Committee, reviewed auditor independence issues and existing commercial relationships with RBSM and concluded that RBSM has no commercial relationship with the Company that would impair its independence for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. Set forth below are approximate fees for services rendered by RBSM, our independent registered public accounting firm, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

| Audit Fees | $340,000 | $310,000 |
| Audit-Related Fees | - | - |

| Totals | $340,000 | $310,000 |
Audit Fees
The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by RBSM for the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements and review of financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K and in the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, or services that are normally provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2023 and 2022 were $340,000 and $310,000, respectively.
Audit-Related Fees
The aggregate fees billed in either of the last two fiscal years for assurance and related services by RBSM that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the registrant’s financial statements and are not reported under “Audit Fees” for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2023 and 2022 were $0 and $0, respectively.
Tax Fees
The aggregate fees were billed for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $0 and $0, respectively, for RBSM.
All Other Fees
Other fees billed for professional services provided by the principal accountant, other than the services reported above, for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2023 and 2022 were $0 and $0, respectively, for RBSM.
The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit services and permitted non-audit services (including the fees and terms thereof) to be performed for us by our independent registered public accounting firm, subject to the de minimis exceptions for non-audit services described in Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Exchange Act and Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X, provided that all such excepted services are subsequently approved prior to the completion of the audit. We have complied with the procedures set forth above, and the Audit Committee has otherwise complied with the provisions of its charter.
The affirmative vote of a majority of the Shares present virtually or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the subject matter at the Annual Meeting is required to ratify the appointment of RBSM as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. We are not required to obtain the approval of our Stockholders to appoint the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. However, if our Stockholders do not ratify the appointment of RBSM as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, the Board may reconsider its appointment.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF RBSM AS INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024, AND PROXIES SOLICITED BY THE BOARD WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOR THEREOF UNLESS A STOCKHOLDER HAS INDICATED OTHERWISE ON THE PROXY.
