value of our reporting units has fallen below their carrying value. This assessment is based on several factors, including industry and |
market conditions, overall financial performance, including an assessment of cash flows in comparison to actual and projected results |
of prior periods. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying |
value based on our qualitative analysis, or if we elect to skip this step, we perform a Step 1 quantitative analysis to determine the |
fair value of the reporting unit. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no impairments of goodwill. Intangible |
assets These |
assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. |
If impaired, intangible assets are written down to fair value based on discounted cash flows or other valuation techniques. We have no |
intangibles with indefinite lives. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no impairments of intangible assets. Long-Lived |
Assets We |
review our property and equipment and right-of-use assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the |
carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. The test for impairment is required to be performed by management upon triggering |
events. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted |
cash flow expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured |
by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are |
reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no impairments of |
long-lived assets. Income |
Taxes Income |
taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities |
are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing |
assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred |
income tax assets and liabilities are recorded with respect to temporary differences in the accounting treatment of items for financial |
reporting purposes and for income tax purposes. Where, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some |
amount of recorded deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is established for the amount that, in management’s |
judgment, is sufficient to reduce the deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. A tax position must |
meet a minimum probability threshold before a financial statement benefit is recognized. The minimum threshold is defined as a tax position |
that is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related |
appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest |
amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. 106 ITEM |

9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. Evaluation |
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures We |
maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures |
refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports 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 |
SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial |
officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As |
required by Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, our management has carried out an evaluation, with the participation and under the supervision |
of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls |
and procedures, as of December 31, 2022. Based upon, and as of the date of this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial |
officer determined that, because of the material weaknesses described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Management’s |
Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting Our |
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for our company. Internal |
control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officer and |
principal financial and accounting officer, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable |
assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance |
with GAAP, and includes those policies and procedures tha (1) pertain |
to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the |
transactions and dispositions of our assets; (2) provide |
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of |
financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are |
being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management and directors; and (3) provide |
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, |
use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Our |
management evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022. In making this evaluation, |
management used the framework established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations |
of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. The COSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, |
including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring. |
Based on our evaluation, we determined that, as of December 31, 2022, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective |
due to the following material weaknesses. ● We |
did not have appropriate policies and procedures in place to evaluate the proper accounting |
and disclosures of key documents and agreements. ● We |
do not have adequate segregation of duties with our limited accounting personnel and rely |
upon outsourced accounting services. 107 ● We |
do not have sufficient and skilled accounting personnel with an appropriate level of technical |
accounting knowledge and experience in the application of GAAP commensurate with our financial |
reporting requirements. In |
order to cure the foregoing material weakness, we have taken or plan to take the following remediation measu ● We |
plan to make necessary changes by providing training to our financial team and our other |
relevant personnel on the GAAP accounting guidelines applicable to financial reporting requirements. ● In |
the first quarter of 2022, we engaged a financial reporting consultant to provide outsourced |
accounting and financial reporting services. ● In |
the first quarter of 2022, we also put in place new policies and procedures at the subsidiary |
level to standardize accounting procedures across all business units. We also plan to hire |
additional skilled accounting personnel at the subsidiary companies to implement the policies |
and procedures. ● In |
the third quarter of 2022, we hired a corporate controller. We |
intend to complete the remediation of the material weaknesses discussed above as soon as practicable but we can give no assurance that |
we will be able to do so. Designing and implementing an effective disclosure controls and procedures is a continuous effort that requires |
us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to devote significant resources |
to maintain a financial reporting system that adequately satisfies our reporting obligations. The remedial measures that we have taken |
and intend to take may not fully address the material weaknesses that we have identified, and material weaknesses in our disclosure controls |
and procedures may be identified in the future. Should we discover such conditions, we intend to remediate them as soon as practicable. |
We are committed to taking appropriate steps for remediation, as needed. 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. 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. Changes |
in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting We |
regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls |
and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities |
as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes. Except |
for the matters described above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter |
of fiscal year 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial |
reporting. ITEM |
