Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company performed an evaluation under the supervision and with the
participation of management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, of the design and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based upon that evaluation,
our President and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective in the timely and accurate recording, processing, summarizing and reporting of material financial and non-financial
information within the time periods specified within the Commission’s rules and forms. Our President and Chief Financial Officer also concluded that
our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under
the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely
discussions regarding required disclosure.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during
our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.
