15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Financial responsibility,
disclosure controls and procedures, and report on internal control over financial reporting.

  Ø       Disclosure controls and procedures  

As of December 31, 2024,
evaluations of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Articles 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 of the SEC) were carried out under the supervision of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer. The internal control system may have inherent limits regarding its effectiveness. Consequently, effective disclosure
controls and procedures offer a reasonable security of achieving its control goals but may not be able to prevent or detect errors or
fraud completely.

Based upon this evaluation,
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded, subject to the limitations noted above, that for the period covered
by this annual report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required
to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act of the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and disclosed
within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and communicated to our Management, including Executive and Financial
Officers, who promote timely decisions regarding the required disclosure.

  Ø       Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting  

Our Management is responsible
for establishing, maintaining, and assessing the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as defined in Articles 13a-15(f)
and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 of US SEC.

Our internal controls were
developed to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial
statements for external purposes, in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Accounting Standards as issued
by the International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS Accounting Standards).

Due to their inherent limitations,
internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Additionally, the projections of effectiveness of
controls to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or assumptions
of the level of compliance with policies or procedures.

Our Management assessed
the effectiveness of our internal controls over consolidated financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based upon the criteria established
in the Internal Controls - Integrated Framework (2013) established by the “ Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission - COS
