Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d – 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”)). Because of inherent limitations, disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met.

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses described below.

Notwithstanding the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Material Weaknesses

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As previously reported, management identified material weaknesses due to deficiencies in the design and operating effectiveness of controls which remain unremediated as of, and for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The material weaknesses identified in our internal control over financial reporting related to: (i) level of precision of the review of the general ledger and underlying reconciliations, and (ii) lack of appropriate segregation of duties over journal entries. These deficiencies contributed to the potential for there to be material errors in our financial statements.

Update on Remediation Plan

As previously reported, in response to the material weaknesses, management, with oversight of the Audit Committee, began to implement steps to remediate the material weaknesses. While the Company has made progress with the remediation of these material weaknesses, the remediation efforts are ongoing, because additional time is needed to complete the remediation and allow for the internal controls to be tested by management.

However, the material weaknesses discussed above cannot be considered completely remediated until the applicable controls are fully implemented, have operated for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. Accordingly, we will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Other than as described above, there were no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
