Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to meet, and management believes that they meet, reasonable assurance standards. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2024.

Management’s Annual Report on 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) under the Exchange Act) to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013)", issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2024. Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets; provide reasonable assurances that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and our 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 financial statements.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Remediation

As discussed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, our management identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related to:

a lack of consistent and documented risk assessment procedures and control activities related to financial reporting, with a sufficient level of management review and approval, and adequate application of controls over information technology; and

failure to maintain a sufficient complement of personnel commensurate with its accounting and reporting requirements as it continues to grow as a company, and ability to: (i) design and maintain formal accounting policies, including maintaining appropriate segregation of duties; (ii) design and maintain controls over the preparation and review of journal entries and financial statements, including the fair presentation and disclosure of complex accounting matters.

Throughout the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024, our management, under the oversight of the Audit Committee, executed the previously disclosed remediation plan which included the following measures:

performed a detailed risk assessment;

hired additional internal and external accounting resources, including third-party internal control advisors and technical accounting advisors;

redesigned and documented critical processes and controls associated with internal control over financial reporting;

designed and maintained formal accounting policies, procedures and controls over the fair presentation of our financial statements;

implemented a new enterprise resource planning system;

established proper segregation of duties and management review and approvals across all key business processes, applications and controls over information technology;

designed, implemented and maintained controls over the preparation and review of journal entries and financial statements;

designed, implemented and tested the operating effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting and information technology; and

implemented management audit tooling to monitor control performance.

Management implemented the majority of the remediation plan in the year ended December 31, 2023 and further tested, strengthened and improved the Internal Control Framework in the year ended December 31, 2024, including performing operating effectiveness testing.

Our management completed operating effectiveness testing over the implemented remediation procedures and controls during the year ended December 31, 2024, and found them to be operating effectively. As a result, management has concluded that the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting have been remediated as of December 31, 2024.
