, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, because of certain material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, as further described below.

Notwithstanding the conclusion by our Certifying Officers that our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2024, were not effective, and notwithstanding the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below, management believes that the consolidated financial statements and related financial information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows as of the dates presented, and for the periods ended on such dates, in conformity with US GAAP.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

                84

In connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting: (i) lack of degree of precision in the review of materials used to record transactions in accordance with US GAAP, and (ii) lack of formalized or documented policies related to the overall IT system environment, including IT security and cybersecurity, centrally managed security patches and antivirus/malware protection, and user access.

Management is committed to implementing changes to our internal control over financial reporting to ensure that the control deficiencies that contributed to the material weaknesses are remediated. To address our material weaknesses, we are in the process of planning to implement measures designed to improve our internal control over financial reporting and remediate the control deficiencies that led to the material weaknesses. These measures include (i) designing and implementing procedures to improve the precision and quality in the review of materials used in financial reporting, and (ii) designing and implementing policies related to our overall IT system environment.
