Item 1C. Cybersecurity.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity We acknowledge the increasing importance of cybersecurity in today’s digital and interconnected world. Cybersecurity threats pose significant risks to the integrity of our systems and data, potentially impacting our business operations, financial condition, and reputation. As a smaller reporting company, we currently do not have formalized cybersecurity measures, a dedicated cybersecurity team or specific protocols in place to manage cybersecurity risks. We have two employees in our IT department that manage all technology for our company, and we rely on trusted third party platforms and software that is constantly under review for cyber threats. Our approach to cybersecurity is in the developmental stage, and we have not yet conducted comprehensive risk assessments, established an updated incident response plan or engaged with external cybersecurity consultants for assessments or services. Given our current stage of cybersecurity development, we have not experienced any significant cybersecurity incidents to date. However, we recognize that the absence of a formalized cybersecurity framework may leave us vulnerable to cyberattacks, data breaches, and other cybersecurity incidents. Such events could potentially lead to unauthorized access to, or disclosure of, sensitive information, disrupt our business operations, result in regulatory fines or litigation costs, and negatively impact our reputation among customers and partners. We are in the process of evaluating our cybersecurity needs and developing appropriate measures to enhance our cybersecurity posture. This includes considering the engagement of external cybersecurity experts to advise on best practices, conducting vulnerability assessments, and developing an incident response strategy. Our goal is to establish a cybersecurity framework that is commensurate with our size, complexity, and the nature of our operations, thereby reducing our exposure to cybersecurity risks. In addition, our board of directors created a Technology and Cryptocurrency Committee and appointed members to that committee. It is in the process of formulating its charter, a portion of which will include reviewing and addressing the issues related to cybersecurity. That committee will oversee the Company’s cybersecurity risk management framework and approve any cybersecurity policies, strategies, and risk management practices. Despite our efforts to improve our cybersecurity measures, there can be no assurance that our initiatives will fully mitigate the risks posed by cyber threats. The landscape of cybersecurity risks is constantly evolving, and we will continue to assess and update our cybersecurity measures in response to emerging threats. For a discussion of potential cybersecurity risks affecting us, please refer to the “Risk Factors” section.
