VOTING AND MEETING INFORMATION

Solicitation of Proxies

This management information circular (the “ Management Information Circular ”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by management of Urbanfund Corp. (the “ Company ” or “ Urbanfund ”) to be used at the annual and special meeting (the “Meeting ”) of the shareholders of the Company to be held at the Company’s offices at 35 Lesmill Road, Toronto, Ontario, M3B 2T3 on Monday, June 19, 2023 at the hour of 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) and at any adjournment thereof for the purposes set forth in the enclosed notice of annual and special meeting of shareholders (the “ Notice of Meeting ”). Proxies will be solicited primarily by mail but may also be solicited personally, by telephone or by facsimile by the directors and/or officers of the Company at nominal costs. The costs of solicitation by management will be borne by the Company. Pursuant to National Instrument 54-101 - Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (“ NI 54-101 ”), arrangements have been made with clearing agencies, brokerage houses and other financial intermediaries to forward proxy solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of the common shares in the capital of the Company (the “ Common Shares ”). The cost of any such solicitation will be borne by the Company.

Record Date

The Board of Directors (the “ Board ” or the “ Board of Directors ”) of the Company has fixed May 11, 2023 as the record date (the “ Record Date ”) for the purpose of determining the shareholders entitled to receive the Notice of Meeting and to vote at the Meeting. The list of the shareholders will be available for inspection during usual business hours at the principal office of the Company’s registrar and transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc., and will also be available for inspection at the Meeting.

Appointment of Proxies

The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy are officers of the Company and represent management of the Company. A shareholder desiring to appoint some other person or company (who need not be a shareholder) to represent it, him or her at the Meeting may do so by inserting such person’s name in the blank space provided in the form of proxy and returning the completed proxy to Computershare Investor Services Inc., Proxy Department, by mail 100 University Avenue, 8[th] Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1 or by fax to 1-888-453-0330, any time up to and including 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on June 15, 2023, or if the meeting is adjourned, not later than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays) preceding the time of such adjourned meeting. A proxy should be executed by the shareholder or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing or, if the shareholder is a corporation, by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized.

Revocation of Proxies

A proxy given by a shareholder for use at the Meeting may be revoked at any time prior to its use. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked by an instrument in writing executed by the shareholder or by his or her attorney authorized in writing or, if the shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized and deposited with Computershare Investor Services Inc., Proxy Department, by mail 100 University Avenue, 8[th] Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1 or by fax to 1-888-453-0330, at any time up to and including two business days preceding the Meeting or any adjournment thereof at which the proxy is to be used or with the Chairman of the Meeting on the date of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, and upon either of such deposits, the proxy is revoked.

A shareholder attending the Meeting has the right to vote in person and, if it, he or she does so, its, his or her proxy is nullified with respect to the matters such person votes upon and any subsequent matters thereafter to be voted upon at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

Exercise of Discretion by Proxies

The Common Shares represented by proxies in favour of management nominees will be voted in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder on any ballot that may be called for and, if a shareholder specifies a choice with

3

URBANFUND CORP., MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

respect to any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting, the Common Shares represented by proxy shall be voted accordingly. Where no choice is specified, the proxy will confer discretionary authority and will be voted FOR all matters proposed by management at the Meeting. The enclosed form of proxy also confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein to vote with respect to any amendments or variations to the matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and with respect to any other matters which may properly come before the Meeting in such manner as the nominee in his or her judgment may determine. At the time of printing this Management Information Circular, management of the Company knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting.

Notice and Access

The Company has elected not to send proxy-related materials to registered holders or Beneficial Holders (as hereinafter defined) of the Common Shares using the notice-and-access delivery procedures defined under NI 54101 and National Instrument 51-102 - Continuous Disclosure Obligations .

Advice to Beneficial Holders of Common Shares

The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to many shareholders of the Company as a substantial number of shareholders do not hold Common Shares in their own name and are thus considered non-registered beneficial shareholders. Shareholders who do not hold their Common Shares in their own name (“ Beneficial Holders ”) should note that only proxies deposited by shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Company as the registered holders of Common Shares can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. If Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a shareholder by a broker then, in almost all cases, those Common Shares will not be registered in the shareholder's name on the records of the Company. Common Shares beneficially owned by Beneficial Holders are typically registered either: (i) in the name of an intermediary (an “ Intermediary ”) (including, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers, brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans) that the Beneficial Holder deals with in respect of the Common Shares; or (ii) in the name of a clearing agency (such as the Canadian Depository for Securities Limited) of which the Intermediary is a participant. In accordance with the requirements of the Canadian Securities Administrators, the Company will have distributed copies of the Notice of Meeting, this Management Information Circular and the enclosed form of proxy to the Intermediaries or clearing agencies for onward distribution to Beneficial Holders. If you are a Beneficial Holder, your Intermediary will be the entity legally entitled to vote your Common Shares at the Meeting. Common Shares held by an Intermediary can only be voted upon the instructions of the Beneficial Holder. Without specific instructions, Intermediaries are prohibited from voting Common Shares.

Applicable regulatory policy requires Intermediaries to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Holders in advance of the Meeting. Often, the form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Holder by its Intermediary is identical to the form of proxy provided to registered shareholders; however, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered shareholder how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Holder. The majority of Intermediaries now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“ Broadridge ”). Broadridge typically mails a scannable voting instruction form in lieu of the form of proxy. The Beneficial Holder is requested to complete and return the voting instruction form to Broadridge by mail or facsimile. Alternatively, the Beneficial Holder may call a toll-free telephone number or access the Internet to provide instructions regarding the voting of Common Shares held by the Beneficial Holder. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Common Shares to be represented at the Meeting. A Beneficial Holder receiving a voting instruction form cannot use that voting instruction form to vote Common Shares directly at the Meeting, as the voting instruction form must be returned as directed by Broadridge well in advance of the Meeting in order to have such Common Shares voted.

Beneficial Holders should ensure that instructions respecting the voting of their Common Shares are communicated in a timely manner and in accordance with the instructions provided by their Intermediary or Broadridge, as applicable. Every Intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Holders in order to ensure that their Common Shares are voted at the Meeting.

Although a Beneficial Holder may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purpose of voting Common Shares registered in the name of their Intermediary, a Beneficial Holder may attend the Meeting as proxyholder for

4 URBANFUND CORP., MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

the Intermediary and vote the Common Shares in that capacity. Beneficial Holders who wish to attend the Meeting and indirectly vote their Common Shares as a proxyholder, should enter their own names in the blank space on the form of proxy or voting instruction form provided to them by their Intermediary and/or Broadridge, as applicable, and return the same in accordance with the instructions provided by their Intermediary and/or Broadridge, as applicable, well in advance of the Meeting. In any case, the purpose of the above noted procedures is to permit Beneficial Holders to direct the voting of the Common Shares which they beneficially own. Beneficial Holders should carefully follow the instructions and procedures of their Intermediary or Broadridge, as applicable, including those regarding when and where the form of proxy or voting instruction form is to be delivered.

Notice to Beneficial Holders

Beneficial Holders who have not objected to their Intermediary disclosing certain ownership information about themselves to the Company are referred to as “NOBOs”. Beneficial Holders who have objected to their Intermediary disclosing the ownership information about themselves to the Company are referred to as “OBOs”. NI 54-101 permits the Company to send the Notice of Meeting, this Management Information Circular, and a form of proxy or voting instruction form, as applicable (collectively, the “ Meeting Materials ”) directly to the NOBOs. The Company is not sending the Meeting Materials directly to NOBOs under NI 54-101. In accordance with the requirements of NI 54-101, the Company has distributed copies of the Meeting Materials to Intermediaries for distribution to NOBOs and OBOs. The Company will reimburse the Intermediaries for fees and costs incurred by them in mailing the Meeting Materials to NOBOs in accordance with NI 54-101. The Company has determined not to pay the fees and costs of Intermediaries for their services in delivering Meeting Materials to OBOs in accordance with NI 54-101. As a result, OBOs will not receive the Meeting Materials unless the OBO's Intermediary assumes the costs of delivery.

4. APPROVAL OF STOCK OPTION PLAN

Management Proposal No. 3

Your vote is needed to approve the Stock Option Plan

What are you voting on?

We are asking shareholders to adopt and approve the Company's stock option plan initially enacted in 1997.

YOUR BOARD RECCOMENDS APPROVAL OF THE STOCK OPTION PLAN

Why are we asking you to vote?

Although there are no stock options authorized, issued our outstanding, the Board is submitting this proposal to allow the grant of options to executives, committee members and contractors.

The Company initially adopted a stock option plan (the “ Option Plan ”) in 1997, which was most recently approved in 2022, for senior officers, directors, employees and key consultants of the Company and any subsidiary. The Option Plan provides for the issuance of stock options to acquire up to 10% of the Company's issued and

10 URBANFUND CORP., MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

outstanding Common Shares as at the date of grant, subject to standard anti-dilution adjustments. The Option Plan is a “rolling plan” as the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the grant of stock options will increase as the number of issued and outstanding Common Share increases. At no time will more than 10% of the outstanding Common Shares be subject to grant under the Option Plan. If a stock option expires or otherwise terminates for any reason without having been exercised in full, the number of Common Shares in respect of that expired or terminated stock option that has not been exercised shall again be available for the purpose of the Option Plan.

The number of options and the exercise price of all options is set by the Board of Directors, or a committee thereof, at the time of grant provided that the exercise price shall not be less than the market price of the Common Shares on the stock exchange on which the Common Shares are traded less the discounts permitted by the rules of such exchange or other regulatory body having jurisdiction. The options granted under the Option Plan may be exercisable for a period, and may vest at such times, as the Board of Directors may determine at the time of grant, subject to the rules of any stock exchange or other regulatory body having jurisdiction. A copy of the Option Plan is attached as Appendix “A” to this Management Information Circular.

The Option Plan is a “rolling” stock option plan as described in Policy 4.4 - Security Based Compensation (“ Exchange Policy 4.4 ”) of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “ TSXV ”). Under Exchange Policy 4.4 , the Company is required to obtain the approval of its shareholders to any stock option plan that is a “rolling” plan yearly at the Company's annual meeting of shareholders.

RESOLVED , as a resolution that:

  1. the Option Plan as set forth in Appendix A to the Management Information Circular dated May 18, 2023 be and it is hereby adopted and approved including reserving for issuance under the Option Plan at any time of a maximum of 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company;

  2. the Company be authorized to grant stock options pursuant and subject to the terms and conditions of the Option Plan;

  3. the Company be and is hereby authorized to make such amendments, if any, to the Option Plan, as may be requested by the TSX Venture Exchange, in order that the Option Plan complies with TSX Venture Exchange Policy 4.4 – Security Based Compensation ; and

  4. the directors and officers of the Company be authorized and directed to make all such filings, perform all such acts and deeds and things and execute, under seal of the Company or otherwise, all such documents, agreements and other writings as may be required to give effect to the true intent of these resolutions.”

Unless the shareholder directs that its, his or her Common Shares are to be voted against the approval of the Option Plan, the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy intend to vote for the resolution approving the Option Plan. A majority of the votes cast by shareholders at the Meeting is required to approve the Option Plan.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Securities legislation requires the disclosure of the compensation received by each “Named Executive Officer” (“ Named Executive Officer ”) of the Company for the most recently completed financial year. Named Executive Officer is defined by the legislation to mean: (i) the Chief Executive Officer of the Company; (ii) the Chief Financial Officer of the Company; (iii) each of the Company’s three most highly compensated executive officers or the three most highly compensated individuals acting in a similar capacity, other than the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, at the end of the most recently completed financial year and whose total compensation was, individually, more than $150,000 for that financial year; and (iv) each individual who would be a Named Executive Officer under paragraph (iii) but for the fact that the individual was neither an executive officer of the Company, nor acting in a similar capacity, at the end of the most recently completed financial year.

As of the financial year ended December 31, 2022, the Company’s Named Executive Officers were Mitchell Cohen and Cathy Leung.

11 URBANFUND CORP., MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

During the financial year ended December 31, 2022, the Company’s executive compensation program was administered by the Board of Directors. Executive compensation is not based on specific performance goals or benchmarks, but is determined on a subjective basis by the Board of Directors. For the financial year ended December 31, 2022, the Board of Directors determined not to compensate any Named Executive Officer for their service in such capacity. However, the Company will continue to evaluate its executive compensation plan on a yearly basis as the Company intends to continue to attract and retain a qualified and cohesive group of executives and to motivate team performance. In order to align the interests of executives with the interests of the Company’s shareholders, the Company has implemented the Option Plan.

Each Named Executive Officer is eligible for an option grant that is approved by the Board of Directors, based on the recommendation of the President of the Company. The number of options and the exercise price of all options is set by the Board of Directors, or a committee thereof, at the time of grant provided that the exercise price shall not be less than the market price of the Common Shares on the stock exchange on which the Common Shares are traded less the discounts permitted by the rules of such exchange or other regulatory body having jurisdiction.

The options granted under the Option Plan may be exercisable for a period, and may vest at such times, as the Board of Directors may determine at the time of grant, subject to the rules of any stock exchange or other regulatory body having jurisdiction. No options were granted to the Named Executive Officers during the year ended December 31, 2022. As at the date hereof, there are no options outstanding.

The Company does not prohibit any Named Executive Officer or director from purchasing financial instruments including, for greater certainty, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, or units of exchange funds, that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by the Named Executive Officer or director.

Management Contracts

The Company does not currently have any employment or consulting agreements with any of its directors, Named Executive Officers or other officers.

Management services for the Company are not, to any substantial degree, performed by persons other than the Named Executive Officers. Westdale Construction Co. Limited provides the Company with property management and development services on a fee-basis.

Subject to approval by the Board, the record date for dividends is anticipated to be set as the last business day of March, June, September and December in each year and the payment date in each case is anticipated to be approximately two weeks from the record date.

The declaration and payment of future dividends and the quantum of any such dividends will be subject to the Board's determination, in its discretion, taking into account, among other things, business performance, financial condition, growth plans and expected capital requirements, statutory solvency tests, as well as any contractual restrictions on such dividends, including any agreements entered into with lenders to the Company or its subsidiaries.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURES

Corporate Governance Disclosure

In June 2005, National Policy 58-201 - Corporate Governance Guidelines (the “ Governance Guidelines ”) and National Instrument 58-101 - Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (the “ Governance Disclosure Rule ”) were adopted by the securities regulatory authorities in Canada. The Governance Guidelines deal with matters such as the constitution and independence of corporate boards, their functions, the effectiveness and education of board members and other items dealing with sound corporate governance practices. The Governance Disclosure Rule requires that, if management of an issuer solicits proxies from its security holders for the purpose of electing directors, specified disclosure of its corporate governance practices must be included in its management information circular.

The Company’s approach to significant issues of corporate governance is designed with a view to ensuring that the business and affairs of the Company are effectively managed so as to enhance shareholder value. The Board of Directors fulfils its mandate directly and through its committees at regularly scheduled meetings or as required. Frequency of meetings may be increased and the nature of the agenda items may be changed depending upon the state of the Company’s affairs and in light of opportunities or risks which the Company faces. The Board of Directors are kept informed of the Company's operations at these meetings as well as through periodic reports and discussions with management on matters within their particular areas of expertise.

The Company’s corporate governance practices have been and continue to follow applicable Canadian requirements. The Company continues to monitor developments in Canada with a view to further revising its governance policies and practices, as appropriate.

The following is the Company’s corporate governance information as required to be disclosed by issuers listed on the TSXV pursuant to National Instrument 58-101F2 - Corporate Governance Disclosure (Venture Issuers) .

Board of Directors

Independence of the Board of Directors

A director is considered independent only where the Board of Directors determines that the director has no direct or material relationship with the Company or any of its subsidiaries. A “material relationship” is defined in National

16 URBANFUND CORP., MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

Instrument 52-110 - Audit Committees (“ NI 52-110 ”) to mean any relationship which could, in the view of the Board of Directors, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director's independent judgment.

On an annual basis, the Board of Directors reviews each relationship that a director has with the Company in order to determine whether the director is or remains independent.

By applying the test prescribed by NI 52-110, the Company has determined that each of Messrs. Kofman, Isenberg and Barber is independent and Messrs. Kimel and Cohen are not independent, given that each is an executive officer of the Company. Moreover, Mr. Kimel is a director, officer and, together with members of his family, exercises direction and control of Westdale, a corporation that provides property management services and is a lender to the Company. Mr. Cohen is an executive officer and employee of Westdale. By virtue of their executive officer positions with the Company and affiliation with Westdale, each of Mr. Kimel and Mr. Cohen is in a “material relationship” with the Company and is therefore not independent.

The Company satisfies the TSXV's requirement that an issuer, whose shares are listed on the TSXV, must have at least two directors who are neither employees, senior officers, control persons (as such term is defined in the TSXV's policies) or management consultants of the issuer, its associates or affiliates or sponsoring member.

Position Descriptions

The Board of Directors has developed and approved detailed position descriptions for the Board Chair, the Board of Directors, the Audit Committee, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer. The Board of Directors is responsible for reviewing and making revisions to the position descriptions.

The Board Chair is responsible for, among other things, overseeing the Board’s discharge of its duties, governing the conduct of the Board, assisting Board committees and acting as a liaison between the Board and management. Chairs of the Board committees are responsible for, among other things, scheduling, setting agendas for and presiding over committee meetings. The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for, among other things, overseeing the day-to-day operation of the business of the Company in accordance with the Company’s strategic plan and annual budget.

Other Public Company Directorships/Committee Appointments

In addition to his directorship with the Company, Thomas S. Kofman acts as a director of Galleon Gold Corp., a TSXV listed company, a director of Tempus Capital Inc. a Canadian Securities Exchange listed company, a director of Rex Opportunity Corp., an unlisted reporting issuer and a director of Independent Trading Group. Steven Isenberg is also a chairman and director of Rivalry Corp, a TSXV listed company.

To the Company’s knowledge, none of the Company's other directors currently hold directorships or committee appointments in other public companies.

Orientation and Continuing Education

The Board of Directors does not have a formal orientation or education program for its members. The Board of Directors' continuing education is typically derived from correspondence with the Company's legal counsel to remain up to date with developments in relevant corporate and securities law matters. Additionally, historically, Board members have been nominated who are familiar with the Company, the nature of its business and the industry in which it operates.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

The Company has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics Policy (the “ Code ”). The Code establishes business conduct and ethical principles by which Board of Directors, officers and employees of the Company (the “ Urbanfund Personnel ”) must understand and adhere to in all of their dealings. Pursuant to the Code, Urbanfund Personnel are to conduct themselves according to the highest standard of integrity, which includes respect of others, ethical principles, honesty, trust, fairness, openness, objectivity, and seek to avoid even the appearance of improper behavior. The Code provides prescriptive guidance on matters such as the compliance with laws, rules and regulations, treatment of Urbanfund Personnel and others, conflicts of interests, confidentiality of information,

17 URBANFUND CORP., MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

privacy, protection and proper use of Company assets, competition and fair dealings, harassment and discrimination, workplace violence and health and safety, among other items. Moreover, the Code requires Urbanfund Personnel to report any violations or suspected violations of the Code and provides definitive direction on how Urbanfund Personnel can report such violations.

A director or member of senior management of the Company must disclose, in writing to the Company, the nature and extent of any interest they have in an actual or proposed material contract or material transaction. A director required to make disclosure shall not vote on any resolution to approve the contract or transaction, unless it relates primarily to his or her remuneration as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or is for indemnity or insurance.

Monitoring of accounting, internal controls and auditing matters, as well as violations of the law, the Code and other policies or directives of the Company occur through the reporting of complaints and concerns using the reporting method provided in the Code as defined within the Company’s Whistleblower Policy.

Insurance for Directors and Officers

Urbanfund has purchased, for the benefit of the Company, its directors and officers, insurance against liability incurred by the directors or officers in their capacity as directors or officers of the Company which has an annual aggregate policy limit of $5,000,000, subject to deductibles ranging from $25,000 to $50,000 per claim.

Generally, under this insurance coverage, the Company is reimbursed for indemnity payments made to its directors or officers as required or permitted by law or under by-law indemnity provisions for losses, including legal costs incurred by directors and officers in their capacities as such. This policy also provides coverage directly to individual directors and officers without any deductible if they are not indemnified by the Company. The insurance coverage for directors and officers has certain exclusions including, but not limited to, those acts determined to be deliberately fraudulent or dishonest or to have resulted in personal profit or advantage.

The policy became effective as of December 1, 2011 for a period of 12 months, and was subsequently renewed on December 1, 2012 through to 2023 with terms and premiums to be established on each renewal. The premium for this policy during the recent renewal period is $16,953.

Nomination of Directors

The recruitment of new directors has generally resulted from recommendations made by directors and shareholders. The assessment of the contributions of individual directors has principally been the responsibility of the Board. Prior to standing for election, new nominees to the Board of Directors are reviewed by the entire of Board of Directors.

Compensation

No compensation is currently paid to any directors or senior management of the Company. The Company does not have a Compensation Committee in place, however, the Company intends to form the committee in the future.

Other Board Committees

The Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee (see below) and a Corporate Disclosure Committee. The Corporate Disclosure Committee is comprised of Mitchell Cohen, Thomas Kofman and Steven Isenberg. The Corporate Disclosure Committee’s mandate is to administer and apply the Company’s corporate disclosure policy, which sets out the framework for disclosure and the principles by which the Company determines how to disseminate such information including continuous and timely disclosure, annual and quarterly reports, press releases, analyst briefings, conference calls, investor presentations, media interviews and other electronic communications.

Reporting

The Committee shall report its deliberations and discussions regularly to the Board and shall submit to the Board the minutes of its meetings.

Resources

The Committee shall have full and unrestricted access to all of the Company's books, records, facilities and personnel as well as the Company's external auditors and shall have the authority, in its sole discretion, to conduct any investigation appropriate to fulfilling its responsibilities.

Limitation on the Oversight Role of the Committee

Nothing in this Charter is intended, or may be construed, to impose on any member of the Committee a standard of care or diligence that is in any way more onerous or extensive than the standard to which all members of the Board are subject.

Each member of the Committee shall be entitled, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to rely on the integrity of those persons and organizations within and outside the Company from whom he or she receives information, and the accuracy of the information provided to the Company by such persons or organizations.

While the Committee has the responsibilities and powers set forth in this Charter, it is not the duty of the Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Company's financial statements and disclosures are complete and accurate and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and applicable rules and regulations, each of which is the responsibility of management and the Company's external auditors.
