ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

A.   Disclosure Controls and Procedures
---------------------------------------
The Group maintains disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports the Group files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarised and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognises that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Group have been detected.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Group’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 20-F. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of 31 December 2024.
