Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have adopted and maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is collected, recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules of the SEC. Our disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The material weaknesses previously identified but not yet remediated include (i) insufficient number of staff to maintain optimal segregation of duties and levels of oversight, and (ii) lack of formal risk assessment under COSO framework. As of September 30, 2024, based on evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Notwithstanding the material weaknesses described above, our management team, including the CEO and CFO have concluded that the condensed unaudited financial statements, and other financial information included in this quarterly report, fairly presents in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in this quarterly report.

Since the third quarter of 2023, we have undertaken specific remediation actions to address the material weaknesses in our financial reporting specifically remediating the material weakness as identified in the 2023 Form 10-K related to documentation of policies and procedures, and insufficient GAAP experience regarding complex transactions and reporting. These remediation actions included hiring a Controller in July 2023, who has extensive experience in developing and implementing internal controls and executing plans to remediate control deficiencies, performing risk assessment under COSO framework, and hiring a Chief Financial Officer in September 2024, who has extensive experience leading public entities. We are establishing more robust processes related to the review of complex accounting transactions, the preparation of account reconciliations and the review of journal entries. We will continue to assess the remaining weaknesses as we continue to implement and refine control policies and procedures.

Changes in Internal Control

We have hired personnel with sufficient GAAP experience, completed documentation of policies and procedures, and documented proper approval processes including documentation of reviews to address the material weaknesses. There has been no change in our internal control procedures over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
