Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the design and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of December 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weakness described below. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As disclosed in Note 4 “Business Combination” included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained herein, the Company completed the acquisition of Peak Exploration & Production LLC and Peak BLM Lease LLC (collectively, “Peak”), on November 14, 2025 in a business combination. As discussed in Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) staff guidance, a company may conclude it will exclude an acquired business from the assessment of internal control over financial reporting during the first year after completion of an acquisition. In light of the overlap between a company’s disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control over financial reporting, the evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures may also exclude an assessment of the disclosure controls and procedures of the acquired entity that are subsumed in internal control over financial reporting. In consideration of the SEC staff guidance, we excluded Peak from our assessment of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2025. Peak’s total assets and total revenues excluded from our assessment represented approximately 52% and 8% of the Company’s consolidated total assets and consolidated total revenues, respectively, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for Epsilon as such term is defined in the Exchange Act. Our internal control structure is designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and that transactions are properly executed and recorded. The internal control structure includes, among other things, established policies and procedures, the selection and training of qualified personnel as well as management oversight.
With the participation of our management, we performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “2013 Framework).” As disclosed above, the Company completed the Peak acquisition on November 14, 2025. The scope of management’s assessment of internal controls over financial reporting excluded the internal controls of Peak which is in accordance with guidance issued by the SEC Staff. Based upon our evaluation under the 2013 Framework, we have concluded that as of December 31, 2025 our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to the material weakness discussed below.
Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
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 our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
As part of our assessment of internal controls over financial reporting, management identified a material weakness related to the accounting for significant and non-standard transactions. After giving consideration to the material weakness, and the additional analyses and other procedures we performed to ensure that our Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K were prepared in accordance with GAAP, our management has concluded that our Financial
Statements present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods disclosed in conformity with GAAP.
Plan for Remediation of Material Weakness
We have initiated remediation efforts designed to strengthen review and approval procedures for significant and non-standard transactions. These remediation activities are ongoing. Until such measures are fully implemented and operating effectively for a sufficient period, we cannot conclude that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Attestation Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by Epsilon’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit Epsilon to provide only management's report in this Annual Report. We were not required to have, nor have we, engaged our independent registered public accounting firm to perform an audit of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the rules of the Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
As discussed above, on November 14, 2025, we completed the Peak acquisition. We are currently integrating the business and operations of Peak into our internal control over financial reporting. In executing the integration, we are evaluating changes to controls and procedures related to Peak’s business and operations. We have excluded the Peak acquisition from our assessment of internal control over financial reporting.
Except as described above and the material weakness identified, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
