ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our 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”)) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file
or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and to ensure that information required to be disclosed is accumulated
and communicated to management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, to allow
timely decisions regarding disclosure. The President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, with assistance
from other members of management, have reviewed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of
December 31, 2015 and, based on their evaluation, have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective
as of such date.
