Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
An evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2024 was carried out by our management under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of September 30, 2024 due to the existence of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below.
Management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the periods presented, in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013).
Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures, which:
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorization 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 our consolidated financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, 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.
As of September 30, 2024, we concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to the material weakness discussed below. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Material Weakness over the Recording and Processing of Revenue Transactions and Remediation Progress
As of June 30, 2023, we concluded that a material weakness existed in our internal controls over financial reporting related to the recording and processing of revenues. As of September 30, 2024, remediation was ongoing. As such, as of September 30, 2024, we concluded that a material weakness still existed in our internal controls over financial reporting related to the recording and processing of revenues. Specifically, the controls as currently designed are not sufficient to prevent or detect a material misstatement in revenues as the design of the controls lack the level of precision necessary to ensure the completeness and accuracy of revenues.
During fiscal year 2024, management made significant progress designing and implementing a series of new, or enhanced existing controls aimed at mitigating risks associated with the accuracy, completeness, occurrence, and cut-off of reported revenue. This included a series of controls operating at various frequencies and levels of precision to detect material misstatements, including, among others:
Individual transactions meeting certain risk criteria are tested and analyzed for accuracy by comparing historical revenue and margin data, invoices, outstanding receivables, and payments. In some cases, inquiries and confirmation may be obtained from operators at individual locations;
Individual transactions are tested, on a sample basis, to ensure they are supported by carrier invoices, indicating legitimate shipments, and to the corresponding cash receipts;
Regional Vice Presidents review weekly and monthly revenue variances exceeding a set threshold, using historical data and inquiring or confirming with operators at individual locations when necessary;
Implementation of controls that verify, on a sample basis, actual departure and proof of delivery dates for selected transactions, ensuring the inputs to the revenue accrual are accurate;
Improved procedures and controls to enhance the granularity and precision over the month-end revenue accrual process;
Enhanced lookback procedures to test the accuracy of prior month-end revenue accruals; and
Performed additional review and analysis of unposted shipments to improve the accuracy of the revenue accrual.
As management has evaluated, designed and implemented the processes needed to remediate its internal controls weakness, it has done so in light of, among others: (a) the need to design and implement such processes in a manner that will not disrupt, to the best extent possible, the historic commercial processes that the Company has deployed across its network of Company-owned and strategic operating partner locations since its inception, and (b) management’s firm belief that, despite the material weakness in process and controls, the Company’s ultimate billing and collection processes continue to work on a commercially sound basis and the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q continue to fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the periods presented, in accordance with U.S. GAAP. No further errors requiring restatement have been identified.
Management believes that the suite of controls it has implemented or enhanced during fiscal year 2024 and 2025, which operate at various frequencies and levels of precision, will provide reasonable assurance that a potential material misstatement in revenue would be prevented or detected in a timely manner. That being said, while many of these new and enhanced controls had been in operation for much of fiscal year 2024; certain controls were implemented closer to year end, and the documentation supporting the performance of these controls can still be improved to demonstrate that the controls operate as they were designed for a sufficient period to conclude the controls are effective. We may also need to refine the underlying design and implementation as we continue to evaluate the manner in which they operate over a longer period before concluding that the material weakness has been resolved. Nevertheless, in recognition of the progress made during fiscal year 2024, and management’s resolve to address the remaining weakness, it is our goal to resolve the material weakness in fiscal year 2025.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except for the remediation activities of the material weakness over the recording and processing of revenue transactions described above, there have not been any other changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
