The Audit Committee reviews the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board. Management is responsible for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, RBSM, LLP (“RBSM”), is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of the audited financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management and management’s evaluations of the Company’s system of internal controls over financial reporting contained in the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

As required by the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), the Committee has discussed with RBSM: (i) the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB and the SEC and (ii) the independence of RBSM from the Company and management. The Audit Committee received the written disclosures and the confirming letter from RBSM required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and discussed with RBSM its independence from the Company.

Based upon the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 which was filed with the SEC on March 28, 2025.
