Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that 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 SEC’s rules and forms. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer (CEO), and our Chief Financial Officer (CFO), concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were fully effective as of October 31, 2025.
Our management, including our CEO and CFO, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. 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. Due to 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, have been detected.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of the Trust’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and effected by the Trust’s Board of Trustees, 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
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 the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Assessment of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2025. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013). Based on management’s assessment, management concluded our internal control over financial reporting was fully effective as of October 31, 2025.
Management’s Remediation Initiatives
In an effort to remediate past deficiencies and enhance the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting, the Trust previously increased its technical accounting expertise through an increasingly seasoned Chief Financial Officer, and in Fiscal Years 2023/2024 promoting its Corporate Controller, and employing one or more full-time Senior Staff Accountants to assist with the Trust’s technical accounting and internal control issues. The CFO has extensive public company reporting experience, to further assist with the Trust’s technical accounting and internal controls.
We have taken several appropriate and reasonable additional steps, as outlined above, to make the necessary improvements to our Accounting staff and internal control over financial reporting, which resulted in management providing the support previously needed with the additional hiring and training of sufficient personnel with appropriate training and expertise in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. This additional staffing and training has allowed us to make the necessary improvements, including:
| ● | Continuing to improve the control environment through (i) being staffed with sufficient number of personnel to address segregation of duties issues, controls, and to perform control monitoring activities, (ii) increasing the level of GAAP knowledge by retaining additional technical accountants, (iii) implementing formal process to account for non-standard transactions, and (iv) implementing and formalizing management oversight of financial reporting at regular intervals; |
| ● | Continuing to update the documentation of our internal control processes, including implementing formal risk assessment processes and entity level controls; |
| ● | Implementing control activities that address relevant risks and assure that all transactions are subject to such control activities; Ensure systems that impact financial information and disclosures have effective information technology controls; |
| ● | Implementing plan to increase oversight and review of ad hoc spreadsheets while also working to reduce their use; |
| ● | Further enhancing the supervisory procedures to include additional levels of analysis and quality control reviews within the accounting and financial reporting functions; |
| ● | IHT previously strengthened the position of Chief Financial Officer (CFO), to assist with the Trust’s internal controls oversight; and |
| ● | IHT previously filled the position of Controller, which has further assisted with the Trust’s internal controls oversight, and process accounting. |
We believe that the remediation measures described above have and will continue to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting and remediate any material weaknesses. These remediation efforts were implemented throughout Fiscal Year 2025, and continuing in Fiscal 2026. Additional strengthening did take place in the balance of the current Fiscal Year 2025, as well as the current Fiscal Year 2026.
Our management believes that our financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025 fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented and that this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the periods covered by this report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were continued positive changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. With the several new additions aforementioned above, these new additions should assist with the Trust’s stability, technical accounting, and internal control issues.
