Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The term “disclosure controls and procedures”, as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act or the Act, means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the 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 by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026 and concluded, consistent with prior reporting periods, that these controls and procedures were not effective due to material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting for complicated financial transactions causing the Company file quarterly and annual reports late.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. An internal control material weakness is a significant deficiency, or aggregation of deficiencies, that does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that material misstatements in financial statements will be prevented or detected on a timely basis by employees in the normal course of their work. An internal control significant deficiency, or aggregation of deficiencies, is one that could result in a misstatement of the financial statements that is more than inconsequential. In making its assessment of internal control over financial reporting Management used the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013).
Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We previously disclosed material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, we had insufficient resources with the appropriate knowledge and expertise to design, implement, and operate effective internal controls over our financial reporting process that contributed to other material weaknesses within our system of internal control over financial reporting at the control activity level. In addition, we failed to timely file quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for quarters within the year ended December 31, 2025 and the first quarter of 2026, and the report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. As a result, we have identified the following material weaknesses as of March 31, 2026:
| i. | Control Environment: We failed to demonstrate a commitment to attract, develop, and retain competent and sufficient qualified resources with an appropriate level of knowledge, experience, and training in certain areas around our financial reporting process. |
| ii. | Risk Assessment: We failed to design and implement certain risk assessment activities related to identifying and analyzing risks to achieve objectives and identifying and assessing changes in the business that could impact our system of internal controls. |
| iii. | Control Activities: We failed to design and implement certain control activities that address relevant risks and retain sufficient evidence of the performance of control activities. |
| iv. | Information and Communication: We failed to design and implement certain information and communication activities related to obtaining or generating and using relevant quality information to support the functioning of internal control. |
| v. | Monitoring: We failed to design and implement certain monitoring activities to ascertain whether the components of internal control are present and functioning. |
| vi. | Privileged Access: Certain finance and accounting personnel have privileged access (also known as Super User Access) to our ERP systems, a material weakness in internal control which could result in unauthorized, inappropriate and undetected changes to financial-reporting systems. |
Remediation Plans
Company Financial Management led by the Chief Financial Officer will participate in all strategic transactions and access if these transactions yield complicated financial accounting and reporting issues. Internal resources will then be charged with evaluating if the Company has the necessary expertise to account for and report on the transactions in a timely manner. If not, outside expert resources will be contracted to assist in a timely manner to ensure timely quarterly and annual report filings. The Super User Access available to certain finance and accounting personnel was removed in the 2 nd quarter of 2026 and limited to appropriate Information Technology personnel.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
For the quarter ended March 31, 2026 there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, except as noted above.
