Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance 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 and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that no controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

In accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of August 31, 2025 and identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting and other control deficiencies as of August 31, 2025. 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 financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weakness identified to date relate to the Company’s lack of an internal review function to monitor the control execution, which may lead to material audit adjustments to the financial statements.

Following the identification of this material weakness, we plan to take remedial measures including (i) setting up additional financial procedures and entity-level controls as well as engaging an external consulting firm as necessary to assist us with the assessment of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance requirements and improvement of overall internal control; and (ii) appointing independent directors and strengthening corporate governance.

Specifically, we have assembled a core finance team consisting of a chief financial officer and a financial controller, both of whom possess deep expertise in U.S. GAAP and rich experience in accounting for U.S. public companies. In parallel, the Company’s finance team is also in the process of developing and implementing financial procedures and entity-level controls designed to achieve and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting. These efforts include the design and execution of robust financial closing policies and procedures, as well as the institution of an effective internal review process. To further strengthen our financial reporting function and control framework, the Company plans to implement additional remedial measures as necessary, including (i) enhancing U.S. GAAP accounting and financial reporting training for its accounting and financial reporting personnel; (ii) hiring more qualified accounting personnel with relevant U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting experience, and (iii) engaging an external consulting firm to assist our assessment of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance requirements and improvement of our overall internal control.

In addition, Mr. Francis A. Braun III, one of our three independent directors, is a recently retired partner from a major independent accounting firm with significant experience in finance, accounting, and corporate governance. Another independent director, Mr. Ninoslav Vasic also has multiple years of experience in financial planning and analysis, business process management, and financial management. Our board of directors has also determined that both Mr. Francis A. Braun III and Mr. Ninoslav Vasic qualify as audit committee financial experts within the meaning of the SEC rules or possess financial sophistication within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing rules.

However, the implementation of these measures may not fully address the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. Our failure to correct the material weakness or our failure to discover and address any other material weaknesses or control deficiencies could result in inaccuracies in our financial statements and could also impair our ability to comply with applicable financial reporting requirements and related regulatory filings on a timely basis. As a result, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects, as well as the trading price of our Class A common stock, may be materially and adversely affected. Moreover, ineffective internal control over financial reporting significantly hinders our ability to prevent fraud.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as the term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
