Going Concern

These factors raise substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management’s plan for the Company’s continued existence is dependent upon management’s ability to execute the business plan, develop the plan to generate profit; additionally, Management may need to continue to rely on private placements or certain related parties to provide funding for investment, for working capital and general corporate purposes. If management is unable to execute its plan, the Company may become insolvent.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
Management has prepared the accompanying financial statements and these notes according to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The Company maintains its general ledger and journals with the accrual method accounting.

Management has eliminated all significant inter-company balances and transactions in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Ownership interests of subsidiaries that the Company does not wholly own are accounted for as non-controlling interests.
Noncontrolling Interests
The noncontrolling interests of the Company represent the ownership stakes held by minority shareholders in the Company’s subsidiaries, and are presented separately from the equity attributable to the Company’s shareholders on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Noncontrolling interests in the Company’s results are disclosed on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss as allocations of total income or loss for the year between noncontrolling interest holders and the Company’s shareholders.
Use of Estimates
The financial statements preparation requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management evaluates estimates, including the allowance for credit losses of accounts receivable, amounts due from related parties and equity investments, the useful lives of our property and equipment, impairment of long-lived assets, long-term investments and goodwill, etc.. Management bases the estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
F-8
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with
original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
$
Accounts Receivables, Net
Accounts receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when the amount is not expected to be collected. Delinquent amount balances are written off against the allowance for doubtful amounts after the management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable.
Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials and finished goods, stated at the lower of cost or market value. Finished goods are comprised of direct materials, direct labor, inbound shipping costs, and allocated overhead. An annual impairment test will be performed on inventory, and any excess of the recoverable amount over the carrying amount will be recognized as impairment losses in the current period.
Advances and Prepayments to Suppliers
The Company makes an advance payment to suppliers and vendors for the procurement of raw materials. Upon physical receipt and inspection of the raw materials from suppliers, the applicable amount is reclassified from advances and prepayments to suppliers to inventory. At the end of each fiscal year, we undertake a thorough examination of prepaid expenses and contractual terms, analyze the causes of delayed receipt of corresponding valuable goods, calculate recoverable amounts using a probability-weighted average method for unrecoverable amounts, and make provisions for impairment as deemed necessary.
Plant and Equipment
Plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. The Company typically applies a salvage value
of
| Buildings | ||||
| Machinery and equipment | ||||
| Motor vehicles | ||||
| Office equipment |
The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts, and any gain or loss is included in the Company’s results of operations. The costs of maintenance and repairs are recognized as incurred; significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.
Intangible Assets
| Land use rights | ||||
| Software licenses | ||||
| Trademarks |
F-9
Construction in Progress and Prepayments for Equipment
Construction in progress and prepayments for equipment represent direct and indirect acquisition and construction costs for plants and fees of purchase and installation of related equipment. Amounts classified as construction in progress and prepayments for equipment are transferred to plant and equipment when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. Depreciation is not provided for assets classified in this account.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired in a business combination. The Company conducts an annual assessment of its goodwill for impairment. If the carrying value of its goodwill exceeds its fair value, then impairment has been incurred; accordingly, a charge to the Company’s operations results will be recognized during the period. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted expected future cash flow analysis.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company annually reviews its long-lived assets for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. Impairment may become obsolete from a difference in the industry, introduction of new technologies, or if the Company has inadequate working capital to utilize the long-lived assets to generate adequate profits. Impairment is present if the carrying amount of an asset is less than its expected future undiscounted cash flows.
If an asset is considered impaired, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are reported lower the carrying amount or fair value fewer costs to selling.
Statutory Reserves
Statutory reserves refer to the amount appropriated from the net income
following laws or regulations, which can be used to recover losses and increase capital, as approved, and are to be used to expand production
or operations. PRC laws prescribe that an enterprise operating at a profit must appropriate and reserve, on an annual basis, an amount
equal to
Foreign Currency Translation
The accompanying financial statements are presented in United States
dollars. The functional currency of the Company is the Renminbi (RMB). The Company’s assets and liabilities are translated into
United States dollars from RMB at year-end exchange rates. Its revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate during
the period.

Revenue Recognition
The Company adopted ASC 606 “Revenue Recognition.” It recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
The Company derives its revenues from selling explosion-proof skid-mounted refueling device, SF double-layer buried oil storage tank, high-grade synthetic fuel products, industrial formaldehyde solution, urea-formaldehyde pre-condensate (UFC), methylal, urea-formaldehyde glue for environment-friendly artificial board chemicals, food products like frozen fruits, beef & mutton products and vegetables and tea products. The Company recognize product revenue at a point in time when the control of the products has been transferred to customers. The Company applies the following five steps to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements:
| ● | identify the contract with a customer; |
| ● | identify the performance obligations in the contract; |
| ● | determine the transaction price; |

Advertising
All advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
Shipping and Handling
All outbound shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred.
Research and Development
All research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Retirement Benefits
Retirement benefits in the form of mandatory government-sponsored defined contribution plans are charged to either expense as incurred or allocated to inventory as part of overhead.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income tax using an asset and liability approach and recognizes deferred tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets. If it is more likely than not, these items will either expire before the Company can realize their benefits or uncertain future realization.
Comprehensive Income
The Company uses Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 220, “Reporting Comprehensive Income.” Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of stockholders’ equity, except the changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders due to investments by stockholders.
Earnings Per Share
The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) following ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per share.” Basic EPS is measured as the income or loss available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per-share basis from the potential conversion of convertible securities or the exercise of options and or warrants; the dilutive impacts of potentially convertible securities are calculated using the as-if method; the potentially dilutive effect of options or warranties are computed using the treasury stock method. Potentially anti-dilutive securities (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from diluted EPS calculation.

Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, accounts and other receivables, accounts and other payables, accrued liabilities, and short-term debt, have carrying amounts that approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosing the Company’s fair value of financial instruments. ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines fair value and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:
| ● | Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology used quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
| ● | Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and information that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the financial instrument’s full term. |
| ● | Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |
Lease
Effective December 31, 2018, Jingshan Sanhe Luckysky New Energy Technologies
Co., Ltd. adopted ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842), and elected the practical expedients that do not require us to reassess:
(1) whether any expired or existing contracts are, or contain, leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and
(3) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. For lease terms of
Lease terms used to calculate the present value of lease payments generally do not include any options to extend, renew, or terminate the lease, as the Company does not have reasonable certainty at lease inception that these options will be exercised. The Company generally considers the economic life of its operating lease ROU assets to be comparable to the useful life of similar owned assets. The Company has elected the short-term lease exception, therefore operating lease ROU assets and liabilities do not include leases with a lease term of twelve months or less. Its leases generally do not provide a residual guarantee. The operating lease ROU asset also excludes lease incentives. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company reviews the Impairment of its ROU assets consistent with the approach applied for its other long-lived assets. The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on its ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows of the related operations. The Company has elected to include the carrying amount of operating lease liabilities in any tested asset group and it includes the associated operating lease payments in the undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows.
As of March 31, 2024, the lease agreement with JSSH has lapsed and the company does not have any current lease agreements exceeding 12 months.
F-12
Equity investments
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01 (“ASU 2016-01”), Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which, among other things, generally requires companies to measure investments in other entities, except those accounted for under the equity method, at fair value and to recognize any changes in fair value in net income. ASU 2016-01 also simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and the guidance should be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The guidance related to equity investments without readily determinable fair values (including disclosure requirements) is applied prospectively to equity investments that exist as of the date of adoption. ASU 2016-01, which the Company adopted on January 1, 2018, did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Investments in entities over which the Company does not have significant influence are recorded as equity investments and are accounted for either at fair value with any changes recognized in net income, or for those without readily determinable fair values, at cost less impairment, adjusted for subsequent observable price changes. Under the equity method, the Company’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of equity investments is recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income; and the Company’s share of post-acquisition movements in equity is recognized in equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Company and an entity in which the Company has recorded an equity investment are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest in the entity. To the extent of the Company’s interest in the investment, unrealized losses are eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. When the Company’s share of losses in an entity in which the Company has recorded an equity investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, the Company does not recognize further losses, unless the Company has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the equity investee.
Commitments and Contingencies
From time to time, the Company is a party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The majority of these claims and proceedings related to or arise from commercial disputes. The Company first determine whether a loss from a claim is probable, and if it is reasonable to estimate the potential loss. The Company accrues costs associated with these matters when they become probable, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. Also, the Company disclose a range of possible losses, if a loss from a claim is probable but the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated, which is in line with the applicable requirements of Accounting Standard Codification 450. The Company’s management does not expect any liability from the disposition of such claims and litigation individually or in the aggregate would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which is an update to ASU Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduced the expected credit losses methodology for the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, replacing the previous incurred loss methodology. The amendments in Update 2016-13 added Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, and made several consequential amendments to the Codification. Update 2016-13 also modified the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities, which must be individually assessed for credit losses when fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, in accordance with Subtopic 326-30, Financial Instruments— Credit Losses—Available-for-Sale Debt Securities. The amendments in this Update address those stakeholders’ concerns by providing an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis. For those entities, the targeted transition relief will increase comparability of financial statement information by providing an option to align measurement methodologies for similar financial assets. Furthermore, the targeted transition relief also may reduce the costs for some entities to comply with the amendments in Update 2016-13 while still providing financial statement users with decision-useful information. ASU 2019-05 is effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning January 1st, 2020. The Company has implemented the new standard, and as of March 31, 2024, there was no material effect of this current standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

3. Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”)
A VIE is an entity that has either a total equity investment that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or whose equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, such as through voting rights, right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity or obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity. If any, the variable interest holder with a controlling financial interest in a VIE is deemed the primary beneficiary and must consolidate the VIE. PLAG WOFE is deemed to have the controlling financial interest and be the primary beneficiary of Jilin Chuangyuan Chemical Co., Ltd. because it has both of the following characteristics:
| 1) | The power to direct activities at Jilin Chuangyuan Chemical Co., Ltd. that most significantly impact such entity’s economic performance, and |
| 2) | The obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits from Jilin Chuangyuan Chemical Co., Ltd. that could potentially be significant to such entity. Under the Contractual Arrangements, Jilin Chuangyuan Chemical Co., Ltd. pay service fees equal to all of its net income to PLAG WFOE. At the same time, PLAG WFOE is obligated to absorb all of the Jilin Chuangyuan Chemical Co., Ltd.’s losses. The Contractual Arrangements are designed to operate Jilin Chuangyuan Chemical Co., Ltd. for the benefit of PLAG WFOE and ultimately, the Company. Accordingly, the accounts of Jilin Chuangyuan Chemical Co., Ltd. are consolidated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In addition, those financial positions and results of operations are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |

Additionally, the Act imposes a one-time transition tax on deemed repatriation of historical earnings of foreign subsidiaries, and future foreign earnings are subject to U.S. taxation. The change in rate has caused the Company to remeasure all U.S. deferred income tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences and NOLs and recorded one time income tax payable to be paid in 8 years. However, this one-time transition tax has no effect on the Company’s income tax expenses as the Company has no undistributed foreign earnings prior to March 31, 2024 which the Company has foreign cumulative losses at March 31, 2024.

The Company evaluated the provisions of ASC 740 related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, present, and disclose uncertain positions that the company has taken or expects to take in its tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Differences between tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the net benefit recognized and measured pursuant to the interpretation are referred to as “unrecognized benefits.” A liability is recognized (or amount of net operating loss carry forward or amount of tax refundable is reduced) for unrecognized tax benefit because it represents an enterprise’s potential future obligation to the taxing authority for a tax position that was not recognized as a result of applying the provisions of ASC 740.

20. Risks
A. Credit risk
The Company’s deposits are made with banks located in the PRC. They do not carry federal deposit insurance and may be subject to loss of the banks become insolvent.
Since the Company’s inception, the age of account receivables has been less than one year, indicating that the Company is subject to the minimal risk borne from credit extended to customers.
B. Interest risk
The Company is subject to interest rate risk when short-term loans become due and require refinancing.
C. Economic and political risks
The Company’s operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may be influenced by changes in the political, economic, and legal environments in the PRC.
21. Contingencies
The Group records accruals for certain of its outstanding legal proceedings or claims when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Group evaluates, on a quarterly basis, developments in legal proceedings or claims that could affect the amount of any accrual, as well as any developments that would make a loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable. The Group discloses the amount of the accrual if it is material.
When a loss contingency is not both probable and estimable, the Group does not record an accrued liability but discloses the nature and the amount of the claim, if material. However, if the loss (or an additional loss in excess of the accrual) is at least reasonably possible, then the Group discloses an estimate of the loss or range of loss, unless it is immaterial or an estimate cannot be made. The assessment of whether a loss is probable or reasonably possible, and whether the loss or a range of loss is estimable, often involves complex judgments about future events. Management is often unable to estimate the loss or a range of loss, particularly where (i) the damages sought are indeterminate, (ii) the proceedings are in the early stages, or (iii) there is a lack of clear or consistent interpretation of laws specific to the industry-specific complaints among different jurisdictions. In such cases, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the timing or ultimate resolution of such matters, including eventual loss, fine, penalty or business impact, if any.

Net Revenues. As of March 31, 2024, our net revenue for the three months ended was $1.53 million, representing a decrease of approximately $7.00 million or 82% from the same period last year's $8.53 million. During the corresponding period in the previous fiscal year, over 60% of our total revenue was derived from selling various food products to restaurants. However, this segment has been significantly impacted by COVID-19 and the company management is strategically realigning new supply markets to effectively mitigate this adverse impact, resulting in sales declining from $5.28 million in 2023 to zero dollars in 2024.
Cost of Revenues. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we experienced a decrease in cost of revenue of $7.12 million or 86%, in comparison to the three months ended March 31, 2023, from approximately $8.29 million to $1.17 million. This change was mainly due to a decrease in sales of revenue, as discussed above.
Gross Profit. Our gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased by $0.12 million, representing a 48% increase to $0.36 million compared to $0.25 million for the same period in 2023. This significant growth is primarily attributed to the sharp increase in advertising revenue from Fast branch, which operates at approximately 100% gross profit rate.
Operating Expenses
Selling and Marketing Expenses. Our selling and marketing expenses decreased by $0.21 million, or 84%, to $0.04 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $0.25 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This decrease was mainly due to the aforementioned reasons, attributable to a decrease in sales of revenue.
General and Administrative Expenses. Our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased slightly by $0.11 million, or 10%, to $1.20 million compared to the previous year's $1.09 million for the same period. The increase was primarily due to a reclassification of selling and marketing expenses to general and administrative expenses as a result of staff function realignment.
Net Loss
Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased by $0.21 million, or 16%, to a net loss of $1.08 million from $1.29 million in the same period in 2023. This decrease was primarily attributed to an increase in advertising revenue sales as mentioned earlier.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In assessing our liquidity, we monitor and analyze our cash-on-hand and operating and capital expenditure commitments. Our liquidity needs meet our working capital requirements, operating expenses, and capital expenditure obligations. In the reporting period at March 31, 2024, our primary sources of financing have been cash generated from operations and private placements.
3
As of March 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $403.08 thousand compared to $436.38 thousand as of December 31, 2023. The debt to assets ratio was 57.27% and 54.40% as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. We expect to continue to finance our operations and working capital needs in 2024 from cash generated from operations and, if needed, private financings. Suppose available liquidity is insufficient to meet our operating and loan obligations as they come due. In that case, our plans include pursuing alternative financing arrangements or reducing expenditures as necessary to meet our cash requirements. However, there is no assurance that we will raise additional capital or reduce discretionary spending to provide liquidity if needed. We cannot be sure of the availability or terms of any alternative financing arrangements.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern; however, the Company has incurred a net loss of $1,108,035 attributable to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $141,805,501, a working capital deficit of $7,267,697, its net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $ 183,614.
These factors raise substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management’s plan for the Company’s continued existence is dependent upon management’s ability to execute the business plan, develop the plan to generate profit; additionally, Management may need to continue to rely on private placements or certain related parties to provide funding for investment, for working capital and general corporate purposes. If management is unable to execute its plan, the Company may become insolvent.
The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flow for all financial statement periods presented in this report.

| (In thousands of U.S. dollars) | 2024 | 2023 | ||||||

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $0.31 million to $0.18 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $0.50 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023. This decrease was primarily due to changes in net operating assets and liabilities of $0.31 million.

Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased to $11,449 from the $23,234 used in investing activities for the same period in 2023. This increase is primarily due to a decrease in the purchase of plant and equipment compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024, amounted to $225,717, indicating a decrease of $12,577 compared to the corresponding period in 2023. This decline primarily stems from a net change of $1.34 million in related party balances as opposed to 2023, partially offset by an increase of $1.36 million attributed to proceeds from long-term loans.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the United States generally accepted accounting principles requires our management to make assumptions, estimates, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements, including the notes to that, and related disclosures of commitments contingencies, if any.
We consider our critical accounting policies to require the more significant judgments and estimates in preparing financial statements, including those outlined in Note 2 to the financial statements included herein.
The Company has evaluated the timing and the impact of the guidance above on the financial statements.
As of March 31, 2024, there were no other recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted that would or could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance arrangements.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2023. Based upon his evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective.
As a result, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.
We do not expect that our 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 we have detected all our 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
During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
