Audit Committee
The Board of Directors
formed an Audit Committee on May 13, 2002. The members of the Audit Committee operate pursuant to a charter developed by the Board of
Directors. The Board has determined that all Audit Committee members qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” for
purposes of the rules and regulations of the SEC and that each of these members is sufficiently proficient in reading and understanding
our financial statements to serve on the Audit Committee.
With the exception of Mr. King and Mr. Hempel,
members of the Audit Committee are considered independent members under the Securities and Exchange Act rules and regulations.
The Audit Committee has reviewed with management
and the independent auditors the quality and adequacy of the Company's significant accounting policies. The Audit Committee has considered
and reviewed with the independent auditors their audit plans, the scope of the audit, and the identification of audit risks. The Audit
Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management and has discussed such financial statements with
the independent auditors.
The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures
and the report from the independent accountant required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and has discussed
with the independent accountants the independent accountant’s independence. Based upon the review and discussions referred to above,
the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s annual
report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Management has the responsibility for the preparation
and integrity of the Company's financial statements and the independent registered public accounting firm have the responsibility for
the audit of those statements. It is not the duty of the Audit Committee to conduct audits to determine that the Company’s financial
statements are complete and accurate and are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In giving
its recommendations, the Audit Committee considered (a) management's representation that such financial statements have been prepared
with integrity and objectivity and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and (b)
the report of the Company’s independent auditors with respect to such financial statements.
Nominating, Compensation and Corporate Governance
The Board of Directors does not have a nominating,
compensation committee or corporate governance committee or committees performing similar functions.
The Directors of the Company are responsible for
developing and recommending corporate governance guidelines, identifying qualified individuals to become directors, recommending selected
nominees to serve on the Board, and overseeing the evaluation of the Board.
In addition, the independent Directors are responsible
for considering and recommending the compensation arrangements for senior management. As part of its other responsibilities, they provide
general oversight of our compensation structure, and, if deemed, necessary, retains and approves compensation consultants and other compensation
experts. Other specific duties and responsibilities of reviewing the performance of executive officers; reviewing and approving objectives
relevant to executive officer compensation; recommending incentive compensation plans; and recommending compensation policies and practices
for service on our Board of Directors.
Board Leadership Structure
Our Board of Directors does not have a policy
on whether the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors should be separate and, if they are to be separate,
whether the Chairman of the Board should be selected from the non-employee directors or be an employee. Our Board of Directors believes
that it should be free to make a choice from time to time in any manner that is in the best interest of us and our stockholders.
The Board of Directors believes that Mr. King’s
service as both Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board is in the best interest of us and our stockholders. Mr. King possesses
detailed and in-depth knowledge of the issues, opportunities and challenges we face and is thus best positioned to develop agendas, to
ensure that the Board’s time and attention are focused on the most critical matters. His combined role enables decisive leadership,
ensures clear accountability, and enhances our ability to communicate our message and strategy clearly and consistently to our stockholders,
employees, and customers and suppliers.
Our Board of Directors believes that the independent directors provide
effective oversight of management.
Board of Directors’ Role in the Oversight
of Risk Management
The Board of Directors has designated the Audit
Committee to take the lead in overseeing risk management at the Board of Directors level. Accordingly, the Audit Committee schedules time
for periodic review of risk management, in addition to its other duties. In this role, the Audit Committee receives reports from management,
independent registered public accounting firm, outside legal counsel, and other advisors, and strives to generate serious and thoughtful
attention to our risk management process and system, the nature of the material risks we face, and the adequacy of our policies and procedures
designed to respond to and mitigate these risks.
In addition to the formal compliance program,
our Board of Directors encourage management to promote a corporate culture that understands risk management and incorporates it into our
overall corporate strategy and day-to-day business operations.

REVIEW OF AUDITED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
The Audit Committee has discussed with management

with the independent auditors their audit plans, the scope of the audit, and the identification of audit risks. The Audit Committee has
reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management and has discussed such financial statements with the independent
auditors.
The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures
and the report from the independent accountant required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and has discussed with the
independent accountant the independent accountant’s independence. Based upon the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit

for the preparation and integrity of the Company's financial statements and the independent auditors have the responsibility for the audit
of those statements. It is not the duty of the Audit Committee to conduct audits to determine that the Company’s financial statements

auditors with respect to such financial statements.
