Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.
All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared following the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim reporting. As permitted under those
rules, certain footnotes and other financial information that are normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) can be condensed or omitted. The condensed consolidated balance sheet for the year
ended December 31, 2023, was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The
information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements
and notes thereto of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2023, which were included in the annual report on Form 10-K filed by
the Company on April 10, 2024.
In
the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
considered necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and operating results. The results for the six
months ended June 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the year ending December 31, 2024, or any other
interim or future periods. Since the date of the Annual Report, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant
accounting policies.
Reclassifications
Certain
prior period amounts have been reclassified for consistency with current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on
the reported results of operations.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Although these estimates are based on
our knowledge of current events and actions we may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates
and assumptions. Furthermore, when testing assets for impairment in future periods, if management uses different assumptions or if different
conditions occur, impairment charges may result.
Concentrations
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consisted primarily of cash and accounts receivable.
Customer
and Revenue Concentrations – Cultivation Segment
During the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, 100% of SevenFive’s
revenue was with three customers and 81% of SevenFive’s revenue was with two customers, respectively. During the six months ended
June 30, 2024 and 2023, 100% of SevenFive’s revenue was with three customers and 77% of SevenFive’s revenue was with two customers,
respectively. The customers in 2024 are related party dispensaries and the revenues associated with these customers are eliminated in
consolidation.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, 100% of Hillside
Cultivation’s (formerly noted as Green Tree) revenue was with three customers, and 90% of Hillside Cultivation’s (formerly
noted as Green Tree) revenue was with four customers, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, 100% of Hillside
Cultivation’s (formerly noted as Green Tree) revenue was with three customers, and 83% of Hillside Cultivation’s (formerly
noted as Green Tree) revenue was with three customers, respectively. The customers in 2024 are related party dispensaries and the revenues
associated with these customers are eliminated in consolidation.
Basic
and Diluted Loss Per Share
The company
presents basic earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the statements of operation. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss)
available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted
EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including convertible debt, stock options, and
warrants, using the treasury stock method, and convertible debt instrument, using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS,
the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock
options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares as their effect is anti-dilutive.
The calculation
of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share is as follows:

Going
Concern
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared on the basis of continuity of operations, realization of assets, and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments
in the ordinary course of business. The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception
and have primarily funded its operations with proceeds from the issuance of debt and equity. The Company incurred a net loss of $2,524,394
and lost $580,632 in cash from operations during the six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of $103,026,434
as of June 30, 2024. We had cash and cash equivalents of $383,029 as of June 30, 2024. The Company expects our operating losses to continue
into the foreseeable future as we continue to execute our acquisition and growth strategy. As a result, The Company has concluded
that there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent
upon its ability to raise additional capital to fund operations, support our planned investing activities,
and repay its debt obligations as they become due. If the Company is unable to obtain additional
funding, the Company would be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate some or all of our acquisition
efforts, which could adversely affect its growth plans.
Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
See
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as amended, for discussion of the Company’s significant accounting
policies.
Recently
Issued Accounting Standards
The Company does not believe that there are any new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or
results of operations.

LEASES
The Company’s leases consist primarily of real
estate leases for retail and cultivation facilities. All but one of the Company’s leases are classified as operating leases. The
lease for the retail dispensary acquired in the Green Man transaction is classified as a finance lease. The current and non-current portions
of the operating lease liabilities and finance lease liabilities are disclosed separately on the accompanying condensed balance sheets.
The finance lease ROU asset is included in property and equipment, net and the operating lease ROU asset is disclosed separately on the
accompanying condensed balance sheets. As the rate implicit in the Company’s leases is not readily determinable, we used an estimated
incremental borrowing rate of 20% in determining the present value of lease payments.

Trees
Transaction Notes
In
January 2022, with the completion of the Trees MLK acquisition, we are obligated to pay the Seller cash equal to $384,873 in equal monthly
installments over a period of 24 months. As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the debt balance of this note was nil and $224,509, respectively.
During the year, the Trees MLK Seller forgave the remaining principal balance $264,639 owed from the Trees MLK acquisition. As the debt
holder is also a shareholder of the Company, the effect of this debt forgiveness was accounted for as a capital contribution in paid-in
capital.
Green
Man Acquisition Notes
In
December 2022, with the completion of the Green Man Acquisition, we are obligated to pay the Seller cash equal to $1,500,000 in equal
monthly installments over a period of 18 months. The payments begin in December 2023 and the payment is equal to $83,333 per month. The
relative fair value of this obligation resulted in a debt discount of $275,154. We recorded amortization of debt discount expense from
this obligation of $36,656 and $38,379 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $67,802 and $75,629 for the
six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

2023, respectively.
In
addition to the Amended Notes, the Lead Investor agreed to provide an additional $250,000 in a separate note (the “2023 Working
Capital Note”) which includes a liquidation preference to recover 1.25x the original investment in the event that the Company commences
any dissolution, liquidation, or winding up. At our option, the Lead Investor shall provide up to an additional $250,000, and, in such
event, the 2023 Working Capital Note shall have a liquidation preference of 1.5x the original investment, applicable to the full $500,000,
in the event that the Company commences any dissolution, liquidation, or winding up. The 2023 Working Capital Note bears interest at
12% per annum and is due and payable on September 15, 2026. As of December 31, 2023, the balance of the Working Capital Note was $500,000,
as the Company requested and received the additional $250,000 optional amount.
On
June 15th, 2024 the Lead Investor agreed to provide an additional $250,000 in a separate note (the “2024 Working Capital
Note”) which includes a liquidation preference to recover 1.25x the original investment in the event that the Company commences
any dissolution, liquidation, or winding up. At our option, the Lead Investor shall provide up to an additional $250,000, and, in such
event, the 2024 Working Capital Note shall have a liquidation preference of 1.5x the original investment, applicable to the full $500,000,

of June 30, 2024, there was no unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested employee awards.
We
recorded nil in compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively and nil in compensation expense
for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Restricted
Stock Awards
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company
did not grant any Restricted Stock Units. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted 429,630 Restricted Stock Units
with a fair value of $28,656 pursuant to the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan to directors and an employee (“2024 RSUs”). The 2024
RSUs vest seven years from the grant date, or earlier upon certain triggering events as defined in the agreement, and upon vesting convert
into one share of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of the 2024 RSUs is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s
common stock on the grant date.
The
Company recorded nil and $18,054 in compensation expense during the three months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively, and $14,968

Contingent
Earnout Liability
On
December 12, 2022, we completed the Green Tree Acquisition which consisted of the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Ancient
Alternatives LLC, Natural Alternatives For Life, LLC, Mountainside Industries, LLC, Hillside Enterprises, LLC, and GT Creations, LLC,
each a Colorado limited liability company (collectively, the “Green Tree Entities”). We paid cash in the amount of $500,000
and stock consideration of 17,977,528 shares of our Common Stock. The closing price of our Common Stock on December 12, 2022, the date
of license transfer, was $0.165 per share, as such, fair value of the equity consideration is $2,966,292. Additionally, we had a potential
obligation to issue additional stock consideration up to 4,879,615 shares of our Common Stock on the achievement of certain performance
indicators on or before June 12, 2024. In November 2023, the Company transferred a majority of the Green Tree Entities back to the original
owners. Subsequent to this transfer, the aforementioned debt was modified. This liability is included in Notes payable- current and Notes
payable- non-current in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
The
fair value of the contingent earnout liability was $0 and $367,056 at June 30, 2024 and December, 31 2023, respectively. The change in
fair value in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024 resulted in a gain on change in fair value of $469,907 and $367,056,
respectively. The contingent earnout liability remained after the Green Tree Acquisition was partially reversed in Q3 2023 and expired
in Q2 2024.
NOTE
8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On
September 16, 2022, the Company entered into a new consulting agreement with Adam Hershey, its Interim Chief Executive Officer, pursuant
to which Mr. Hershey will continue to serve as the Company’s Interim Chief Executive Officer with compensation equal to $200,000
per annum, payable by the Company, monthly. The term of the consulting agreement is for a period of one year, with automatic six-month
renewals thereafter unless terminated by either party. As part of the new consulting agreement, the Company has also agreed to extend
warrants to purchase 7,280,007 shares of Common Stock, held by an affiliate of Mr. Hershey, for an additional two years until May 29,
2027. The exercise price and all other terms and conditions of such warrants remain unchanged. We paid $50,000 and $50,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $100,000 and $100,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
In
February 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of Station 2, LLC’s assets. Station 2, LLC is owned by a board member, who
is also a shareholder of the Company. This acquisition was subsequently reversed in Q3 of 2023.
The
Company currently has a lease agreement with Dalton Adventures, LLC in which the Company leases 17,000 square feet of greenhouse space
in Boulder, Colorado for $29,691 a month, of which $27,000 is base rent and $2,691 is property taxes. The base rent decreased to $10,000
per month starting in May 2023. The owner of Dalton Adventures, LLC is a principal shareholder and former board member of the Company.
We have incurred $30,000 and $75,849 in related party lease expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively,
and $60,000 and $151,698 in related party lease expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. See Note 3 for
further discussion of the Company’s obligations associated with related party leases.

The

30, 2023, respectively.

Employee
awards are issued under our 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan, which was approved by shareholders on November 23, 2020. Expense varies primarily
due to the number of stock options and restricted stock awards granted and the share price on the date of grant. The decrease in expense
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to June 30, 2023, is due to issuing less restricted stock awards at a higher
per unit grant date value in the second quarter of 2024.
Professional
fees consist primarily of accounting and legal expenses. Professional fees decreased for the three and six months ended June 30,
2024 as compared to June 30, 2023 due to the lack of unusual accounting activity in the first and second quarters of 2024 as compared
to the 2023 periods.
Depreciation
and amortization decreased due to the reversal of the acquisition of a portion of the Green Tree assets and a revaluation of the Green
Tree and Green Man acquisitions as of the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to June 30, 2023.

Amortization
of debt discount decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to June 30, 2023 due to the change in outstanding
debt related to the Green Tree acquisition reversal. Interest expense decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024,
as compared to June 30, 2023, due to the modification of the 12% Notes with an interest rate of 12% in Q4 2023 and a delay in Q2 2023
payments. The gain on warrant derivative liability reflects the change in the fair value of the 2019 Warrants which expired in Q2 2024.
The loss on contingent earnout reflects the change in the fair value of the Green Tree Contingent Earnout liability which expired in
Q2 2024.

The
decrease in revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to June 30, 2023, is due to the closure of three cultivations
during Q2 2023 and a reduction in grow operations at one of the remaining cultivations facilities in Q1 2023. The decrease in cost and
expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to June 30, 2023 is attributed to the closure of three cultivations
during Q2 2023 and a reduction in grow operations at one of the remaining cultivations facilities in Q1 2023. The costs and expense
incurred between our dispensaries and cultivation locations are eliminated in consolidation.
Liquidity
Sources
of liquidity
Our
sources of liquidity historically have included the cash exercise of common stock options and warrants, debt, and the issuance of common
stock or other equity-based instruments. We anticipate our significant uses of resources will include funding operations.
Sources
and uses of cash
We had cash of $383,029 and $969,676 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31,
2023, respectively. Our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities were as follows:

Net cash used in operating activities | |

$ | (267,314 | ) |
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities | |
$ | 23,980 | | |
$ | (789,246 | ) |
Net
cash used in operating activities increased in 2024 due to the expiration and subsequent gain of the Green Tree contingent earnout.
Net
cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from June 30, 2023 decreased as a result of a lack of acquisition
activity in 2024.
Net
cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased from June 30, 2023 due to the partial reversal of
the acquisition of a portion of the Green Tree assets and the issuance of the 2024 Working Capital Note.
Capital
Resources
We had no
material commitments for capital expenditures as of June 30, 2024. Part of our growth strategy, however, is to acquire operating
businesses. We expect to fund such activity through cash on hand, the issuance of debt, common stock, warrants for our common stock or
a combination thereof.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities, and the amounts of revenues and expenses. Critical accounting policies are those that require the application
of management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect
of matters that are inherently uncertain and that may change in subsequent periods. In applying these critical accounting policies, our
management uses its judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in making certain estimates. Actual results may differ
from these estimates.
We
define critical accounting policies as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and which may potentially
result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. In applying these critical accounting policies, our
management uses its judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in making certain estimates. These estimates are subject
to an inherent degree of uncertainty.
Business
Combinations
Amounts
paid for acquisitions are allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value at the date of
acquisition. The fair value of identifiable intangible assets is based on detailed valuations that use information and assumptions provided
by management, including expected future cash flows. We allocate any excess purchase price over the fair value of the net assets and
liabilities acquired to goodwill. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful lives. Acquisition-related
costs, including advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, and other costs, are expensed in the periods in which the costs are incurred.
The results of operations of acquired businesses are included in the consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date.
Goodwill
and Intangibles
Goodwill
represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill and
long-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of ASC No. 350, Intangibles-Goodwill
and Other (“ASC No. 350”). ASC No. 350 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating
segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change
that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carry value. Application of the goodwill impairment
test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, assignment
of goodwill to reporting units, and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. We test goodwill annually in December, unless
an event occurs that would cause us to believe the value is impaired at an interim date. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2023, for discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies.
Intangible
assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.
Impairment
of Long-lived Assets
We
periodically evaluate whether the carrying value of property and equipment has been impaired when circumstances indicate the carrying
value of those assets may not be recoverable. The carrying amount is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows
expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If the carrying value is not recoverable, the impairment loss
is measured as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value.
Our
impairment analyses require management to apply judgment in estimating future cash flows as well as asset fair values, including forecasting
useful lives of the assets, assessing the probability of different outcomes, and selecting the discount rate that reflects the risk inherent
in future cash flows. If the carrying value is not recoverable, we assess the fair value of long-lived assets using commonly accepted
techniques, and may use more than one method, including, but not limited to, recent third-party comparable sales and undiscounted cash
flow models. If actual results are not consistent with our assumptions and estimates, or our assumptions and estimates change due to
new information, we may be exposed to an impairment charge in the future.
Debt with
Equity-linked Features
We may issue
debt that has separate warrants, conversion features, or other equity-linked attributes.
Debt
with warrants – When we issue debt with warrants, we treat the warrants as a debt discount, record as a contra-liability against
the debt, and amortize the balance over the life of the underlying debt as amortization of debt discount expense in the consolidated
statements of operations. The offset to the contra-liability is recorded as additional paid in capital in our consolidated balance sheets.
If the debt is retired early, the associated debt discount is then recognized immediately as amortization of debt discount expense in
the consolidated statement of operations. The debt is treated as conventional debt.
We
determine the value of the non-complex warrants using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (“Black-Scholes”) using the
stock price on the date of issuance, the risk-free interest rate associated with the life of the debt, and the volatility of our stock.
For warrants with complex terms, we use the binomial lattice model to estimate their fair value.
Convertible
Debt - When we issue debt with a conversion feature, we must first assess whether the conversion feature meets the requirements to
be treated as a derivative. If the conversion feature within convertible debt meets the requirements to be treated as a derivative, we
estimate the fair value of the convertible debt derivative using Black-Scholes upon the date of issuance, using the stock price on the
date of issuance, the risk-free interest rate associated with the life of the debt, and the estimated volatility of our stock.
Modification
of Debt - When we change the terms of existing notes payable, we evaluate the amendments under ASC 470-50, Debt Modification and
Extinguishment to determine whether the change should be treated as a modification or as a debt extinguishment. This evaluation includes
analyzing whether there are significant and consequential changes to the economic substance of the note. If the change is deemed insignificant
then the change is considered a debt modification, whereas if the change is substantial the change is reflected as a debt extinguishment.
Equity-based
Payments
We
estimate the fair value of equity-based instruments issued to employees or to third parties for services or goods using Black-Scholes
or the Binomial Model, which requires us to estimate the volatility of our stock and forfeiture rate.
Revenue
Recognition
ASC
Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”) requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict
the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to
be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing
so, judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process including identifying performance obligations in the
contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to
each separate performance obligation.
The
following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:
| ● | Step
1: Identify the contract with the customer; |
| ● | Step
2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract; |
| ● | Step
3: Determine the transaction price; |
| ● | Step
4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
| ● | Step
5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation. |

ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under
the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s
rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer
and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We
carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Principal Executive Officer and
Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures
as of June 30, 2024, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal
Financial and Accounting Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2024.
Internal
Control over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f)
and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officer
and principal financial officer and effected by the Board, management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and
includes those policies and procedures that:
|
● |
Pertain
to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets
of the Company; |
|
● |
Provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with
GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures of are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors;
and |
|
● |
Provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that
could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because
of inherent limitations, our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those
systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because
of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the second quarter of 2024, which were identified in connection
with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, which have materially
affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such
statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;

control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have:
a) designed
such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure
that material information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those
entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being prepared;
b) designed
such internal control over financial reporting, or cause such internal control over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision,
to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;

5. The registrant’s other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed,
based on our most recent evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting, to the registrant’s auditors and the audit committee
of the registrant’s board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):
a) all significant
deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely
to adversely affect the registrant’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information; and
b) any fraud,
whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have significant role in the registrant’s internal control over
financial reporting.
