Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls are procedures
that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in HVII’s reports filed under the Exchange
Act, such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s
rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated
to HVII’s management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure. HVII’s management evaluated, with the participation of HVII’s current chief executive officer
and chief financial officer (HVII’s “Certifying Officers”), the effectiveness of HVII’s disclosure controls and
procedures as of March 31, 2025, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, HVII’s Certifying
Officers concluded that, as of March 31, 2025, HVII’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

HVII does not expect that its
disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how
well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures
are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the
benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no
evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that HVII has detected all HVII’s control deficiencies
and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the
likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential
future conditions.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in HVII’s
internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most
recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, HVII’s internal control over
financial reporting.
