NOTE 2 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for annual financial statements.

| F-5 |

Table of Contents

In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2024 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024.

Reclassification

Certain accounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Consolidation Policy

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its owned subsidiaries, Etelix.com USA, LLC (“Etelix”), SwissLink Carrier AG (“Swisslink”), ITSBCHAIN, LLC (“ItsBchain”), QGLOBAL SMS, LLC (“QGlobal”), IoT Labs, LLC (“IoT Labs”), Global Money One Inc (“Global Money One”), Whisl Telecom LLC (“Whisl”) and Smartbiz Telecom LLC (“Smartbiz”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The estimates and judgments will also affect the reported amounts for certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these good faith estimates and judgments.

Foreign Currency Translation and Re-measurement

The Company translates its foreign operations to U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”.

The functional currency and reporting currency of Etelix, QGlobal, ItsBchain, IoT Labs, Whisl, Smartbiz and Global Money One is the U.S. dollar, while SwissLink’s functional currency was the Swiss Franc (“CHF”). As of January 1, 2024, we changed the functional currency of SwissLink from their respective local currency to the US dollar. The change in functional currency is due to increased exposure to the US dollar as a result of a change in facts and circumstances in the primary economic environment in which this subsidiary operates. The effects of the change in functional currency were not significant to our consolidated financial statements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of term deposits with maturities of less than three months from inception, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which, in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value. The Company had no cash equivalents at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts

Substantially all of the Company’s accounts receivable balance is related to trade receivables. Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company estimates expected credit losses related to accounts receivable balances based on a review of available and relevant information including current economic conditions, projected economic conditions, historical loss experience, account aging, and other factors that could affect collectability. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded bad debt expense of $725 and $0, respectively.

Table of Contents

Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

The Company has adopted ASC 260, ”Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of basic earnings per share on the face of the statements of operations for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic earnings per share computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive outstanding shares of common stock during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through contingent share arrangements, stock options and warrants unless the result would be antidilutive. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding Series B Preferred stock, and it was excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the result was anti-dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of its cash and cash equivalents and related party payables. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high creditworthiness. At times, its cash and cash equivalents with a particular financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, 8 customers represented 86% of our revenue compared to 12 customers representing 86% of our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, 47% and 62% of the revenue comes from customers under prepayment conditions which means there is no credit or bad debt risk on that portion of the customers portfolio.

Financial Instruments

The Company follows ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” which defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

| F-7 |

Table of Contents

Level 3

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The carrying values of our financial instruments, including, cash; accounts receivable; deposit for acquisition, prepaid and other current assets; accounts payable; accrued liabilities and other current liabilities; and due from/to related parties approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these financial instruments.

Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated. It is not, however, practical to determine the fair value of amounts due to related parties due to their related party nature.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from telecommunication services in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.”

The Company recognizes revenue related to monthly usage charges and other recurring charges during the period in which the telecommunication services are rendered, provided that persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, and collection is reasonably assured. Management considers persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement to be a written interconnection agreement. The Company’s payment terms vary by client.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures" which allows disclosure of one or more measures of segment profit or loss used by the chief operating decision maker to allocate resources and assess performance. Additionally, the standard requires enhanced disclosures of significant segment expenses and other segment items, as well as incremental qualitative disclosures on both an annual and interim basis. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim reporting periods after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and retrospective application is required for all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures included within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” which requires enhanced disclosures, including specific categories and disaggregation of information in the effective tax rate reconciliation, disaggregated information related to income taxes paid, income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit, and income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and should be applied on a prospective basis; however, retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures included within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and does not have an established source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish its business plan and eventually attain profitable operations.

During the next year, the Company's foreseeable cash requirements will relate to continual development of the operations of its business, maintaining its good standing in the industry and continuing its marketing efforts. The Company may experience a cash shortfall and be required to raise additional capital.

Historically, the Company has relied upon funds from its stockholders. Management may raise additional capital through future public or private offerings of the Company's stock or through loans from private investors, although there can be no assurance that it will be able to obtain such financing. The Company's failure to do so could have a material and adverse effect upon its operations and its stockholders.

The Purchase Price for 51% of the membership interests of Lynk Telecom is US $1,500,000, and this amount will be paid by the Seller to the Buyer in 12 consecutive monthly cash payments of US$ 125,000 each. The Seller agrees to use these funds for the amortization of the payments that it owes to Voyce in relation to the contract between Lynk Holding and Voyce Telecom.

Once we have paid the $1,500,000 for the acquisition of Lynk Telecom, and Lynk Telecom has achieved the business goals outlined in the Purchase Company Agreement, under what we refer to as “Phase I,” we have agreed to lend up to US$1,500,000 to Lynk Telecom, in installments of up to US$100,000 per month, to be used solely for marketing campaigns, promotion and development of the retail services, according to a business plan that has to be approved by Lynk Telecom’s board of directors.

The disbursements of this loan will be subject to the achievements of the quarterly goals set in the business plan of Lynk Telecom. This retail business plan will have the aim of achieving the objective of generating a minimum of US$200,000 in operating income per month, with intermediate staggered quarterly goals.

Upon the completion of Phase I, and the business goals in the Purchase Company Agreement have been achieved, we have agreed to lend Lynk Telecom up to US$1,500,000 in at least three stages, each of up to US$500,000 per year to help accelerate the amortization of the debt Lynk Holding LLC has with the Voyce Telecom shareholders. These loans would be linked to compliance with the financial statements for fiscal years 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029 and 2030. The goals for these years will be defined posteriori by the parties and approved by Lynk Telecom’s Board of Directors. The payment of this loan will be guaranteed with the portion of dividends that correspond to Lynk Holding LLC when Lynk Telecom makes a dividend distribution.

If, as a result of operations, Lynk Telecom does not reach the projections in the Purchase Company Agreement, and the business plan for the years 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029 and 2030 approved by Lynk Telecom´s Board of Directors, we may retain the stipulated loan. If Lynk Telecom surpassed the projections in the Purchase Company Agreement, we have agreed to true up the purchase price, with details of the true up contained in the Purchase Company Agreement.

Once this Purchase Company Agreement is signed, the manager of Lynk Telecom, Omar Luna, is expected to enter into a 3-year employment agreement with Lynk Telecom, that will be executed before the closing date, renewable for a 2-year period to guarantee the operational continuity of Lynk Telecom and the implementation of a business plan that will lead Lynk Telecom into a productive company with positive net income as established in the Purchase Company Agreement.

Lynk Telecom shall have a Board of Directors composed of 3 members: 2 of the members shall be appointed by us and the remaining member shall be appointed by the Seller. The position of President and Secretary will be reserved for us.

The closing of the Purchase Agreement is subject to, among other things, Lynk Telecom having prepared all accounting information in accordance with SEC standards in such a manner that any audit of the Company, if required, may be performed.

Our metaverse leverages advanced AI to introduce Non-Player Characters (NPCs) that significantly enhance user engagement and functionality within virtual environments. These NPCs are not mere static elements; rather, they are powered by OpenAI's latest language models, enabling dynamic interaction with users. This AI-driven interaction allows NPCs to serve as sales and brand assistants, guiding users through immersive experiences that can extend to purchasing products from external websites. Furthermore, these intelligent agents can control access to gated spaces within the metaverse based on user interactions, showcasing a personalized approach to user experience.

A key innovation in our AI implementation is the NPCs' ability to autonomously make decisions based on their understanding of user interactions. This is achieved through state-of-the-art natural language processing and understanding capabilities, which are supported in seven languages. Additionally, our NPCs utilize advanced text-to-speech and speech-to-text technologies to facilitate seamless communication with users across diverse linguistic backgrounds. The incorporation of "function call" features further enhances the NPCs' ability to perform complex tasks and interact meaningfully with the environment and the users.

Our reference to our technology as "cutting-edge" is grounded in our commitment to continuous improvement and innovation. We consistently integrate the latest advancements in AI, particularly in the areas of chatbots, language understanding, and user interaction technologies. This ensures that our metaverse remains at the forefront of AI application in virtual spaces, offering an unparalleled user experience that goes beyond traditional virtual environments.

We are currently in an advanced phase of development, with ongoing enhancements to AI functionalities and user interaction models. Our team is dedicated to exploring and implementing the latest AI technologies to ensure that our metaverse remains a leading example of innovation in virtual space technology.

Results of Operations

Revenues

Our total revenue reported for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $51,414,878, compared with $24,666,529 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. These numbers reflect an increase of 108% quarter over quarter on our consolidated revenues.

When looking at the numbers by subsidiary, we have the following breakout for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023:

Subsidiary |  | Revenue Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 |  | Revenue Three Months Ended March 31, 2023
Etelix.com USA, LLC |  | $ | 18,629,910 |  |  | $ | 4,348,986 |
SwissLink Carrier AG |  |  | 974,734 |  |  |  | 1,275,285 |
QGlobal LLC |  |  | 367,260 |  |  |  | 85,051 |
IoT Labs LLC |  |  | 24,338,199 |  |  |  | 15,261,282 |
Whisl |  |  | 923,328 |  |  |  | 304,686 |
Smartbiz |  |  | 6,181,447 |  |  |  | 3,391,240 |
|  | $ | 51,414,878 |  |  | $ | 24,666,529 |

The continued growth of our revenue is the result of the development of our business strategy, which includes the strengthening of our commercial and operating activities and expanding the synergies among our subsidiaries.

We expect that our revenue will continue to grow consistently over the coming quarters until reaching a projected total of +$250,000,000 by the end of 2024.

Cost of Revenues

Our total cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased to $50,035,852, compared with $23,449,793 for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

When looking at the numbers by subsidiary, we have the following breakout for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023:

Subsidiary |  | Cost of Revenue Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 |  | Cost of Revenue Three Months Ended March 31, 2023
Etelix.com USA, LLC |  | $ | 17,832,936 |  |  | $ | 3,764,473 |
SwissLink Carrier AG |  |  | 770,168 |  |  |  | 1,103,857 |
QGlobal LLC |  |  | 242,417 |  |  |  | 51,549 |
IoT Labs LLC |  |  | 23,796,575 |  |  |  | 14,878,901 |
Whisl |  |  | 1,129,010 |  |  |  | 567,719 |
Smartbiz |  |  | 6,264,746 |  |  |  | 3,083,294 |
|  | $ | 50,035,852 |  |  | $ | 23,449,793 |

Our cost of revenues consists of direct charges from vendors that the Company incurs to deliver services to its customers. These costs primarily consist of usage charges for calls and SMS terminated in vendor networks.

The behavior in the costs shows a logical correlation with the behavior of the revenue commented on above. We have reached a higher volume of sales and every additional unit sold (minutes and SMS) has its corresponding termination cost.

Gross Margin

Our gross margin, which is simply the difference between our revenues and our cost of sales, discussed above, was $1,379,026 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $1,216,736 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This represents an increase of 13.34% in the gross margin quarter over quarter.

We expect our gross margin will increase through the increment in the revenue associated with the SMS businesses offered by QGlobal SMS, whose margin is greater than 25%, compared to the margins of the wholesale voice business of 3% average. While our revenue associated with voice services grew 187% when comparing the three months ended on March 31, 2024 to the three months ended on March 31, 2023, the revenue of QGlobal SMS grew 332% in the same period.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased to $1,562,478 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $1,534,266 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The detail by major category is reflected in the table below.

When looking at the numbers by subsidiary, we have the following breakout for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023:

|  |  | 1,562,478 |  |  |  | 1,534,266 |  |  |  | 28,212 |

The most significant differences are: (1) the increase in Professional Fees; (2) the increases in technology expenses related to the deployment and upgrade of the Switching platform to allocate Smartbiz. This platform is currently used by SwissLink and Etelix; and (3) the increase in Public Cost.

We are continually identifying operational synergies among all of our subsidiaries to be more cost efficient. We are currently making investments in the development of a unique voice switching platform that will allow us to reduce costs between fifty and sixty thousand dollars per quarter.

Operating Income

The Company showed negative Operating Income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 of $183,452 compared with a negative result of $317,530 for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Even though the Company showed negative Operating Income, the number shows a trend of significant improvement year over year.

Our Telecom Division, which is the one generating revenue at the present time, generated positive Operating Income. The expenses of our Pre-revenue companies are set at the minimum required to finish the development of the product/services prior to market launch.

The reason why there are practically no operating expenses associated with the Fintech project is because the product development has already been completed. The Company is working on the design of the marketing and sales strategy for the start of commercial activities.

Other Expenses/Other Income

We had other expenses of $396,764 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared with other income of $158,708 for the same period ended 2023. The other expenses in 2024 are largely due to $365,474 in Interest Expense associated with the financing for the acquisition of QXTEL, which allows us to drive the organic growth of the company. Our other income in 2023 was largely due to the positive change in fair value of derivative liabilities.

Net Loss

We finished the three months ended March 31, 2024 with a net loss of $580,216, as compared to a loss of $158,822 during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The net loss as of March 31, 2024 is highly impacted by interest expense incurred in the acquisition of QXTEL; however, the increase in the Company's value and the beneficial effects of this acquisition could be observed in the consolidated proformas that were presented in conjunction with the acquisition of QXTEL .

QXTEL is expecting to add over eighty million dollars in annual revenues and net income around one million dollars per year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2024, we had total current assets of $15,619,755 and current liabilities of $13,484,660, resulting in a positive working capital of $2,135,095 and a current ratio of approximately 1.16 to 1. This compares to working capital of $1,878,228 at December 31, 2023.

The positive evolution of our working capital is an indicator that the company's capital resources allow us to cover operating costs more easily every day and finance organic growth.

Our operating activities used $536,888 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared with $197,163 provided in operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2023. Our cash flow from operations varies depending on our operating results and the timing of operating cash receipts and payments, specifically trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable.

Investing activities used $1,622,892 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared with $142,947 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Uses of funds in investing activities in 2024 consisted primarily of the first payment of $1,500,000 for the acquisition of QXTEL in January 2024. Uses of funds on investing activities in 2023 were primarily the acquisition of property and equipment and the issuance of a related party loan.

Table of Contents

Financing activities provided $3,522,683 in the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared with $390,994 provided in the three months ended March 31, 2023. Our positive financing cash flow in 2024 was largely the result of the financing secured to complete the acquisition of QXTEL. Our positive financing cash flow in 2023 was largely the result of the net proceeds from the exercise of an option in the amount of $400,000.

Our current financial condition has improved significantly. However, we intend to fund operations through increased sales and debt and/or equity financing arrangements, to strengthen our liquidity and capital resources. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional funding. If we are not able to secure additional funding, the implementation of our business plan will be impaired. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.

Inflation

Although our operations are influenced by general economic conditions, we do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our results of operations during the three-month period ended March 31, 2024.

Critical Accounting Polices

A “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Our accounting policies are discussed in detail in the footnotes to our financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2024; however, we consider our critical accounting policies to be those related to allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of long-lived assets, and income taxes. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. See the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report for a complete discussion of our significant accounting policies.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2024, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We do not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operation, financial position, or cash flow.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company and are not required to provide the information under this item pursuant to Regulation S-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures - Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report.

These controls are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of March 31, 2024. Our management identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines.

We believe that our financial statements presented in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for all periods presented herein.

Inherent Limitations - Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon 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. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of 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 our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdown can occur because of simple error or mistake. In particular, many of our current processes rely upon manual reviews and processes to ensure that neither human error nor system weakness has resulted in erroneous reporting of financial data.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting - There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, which were identified in conjunction with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
