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 June 30, 2025, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation,
HVII’s Certifying Officers concluded that, as of June 30, 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.
