Management’s
Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Under the supervision
of our Chief Executive Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting
as of December 31, 2021 using the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
A
material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a
reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented
or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2021, the Company determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses under COSO and SEC rules are,
as described below:
(1) lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of independent directors on the Company’s board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (3) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements. The aforementioned potential material weaknesses were identified by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer in connection with the preparation of our financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and communicated the matters to our management and board of directors.
Management
is currently evaluating remediation plans for the above control deficiency.
Accordingly,
the Company concluded that this control deficiency resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or
interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company’s internal controls.
As
a result of the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework
issued by COSO.

opinion paragraph refers to the two year period for the statement of operations, shareholders’

report accordingly. Refer to AS 3101.08.c. If for a two year period, please explain the basis

The
filing has been amended to update the report that the audit and opinion is for each year in the two-year period.
