ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and to ensure that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. As of March 31, 2024, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, with assistance from other members of management, have reviewed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934). Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based upon the evaluation, they have concluded that, as of March 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level due to a material weakness that existed in our internal controls over financial reporting, primarily the result around a lack of personnel and inadequate controls around segregation of duties in the accounting department from employee turnover, as previously disclosed in the 2023 Annual Report.
It should be noted that any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions designed to obtain reasonable (and not absolute) assurance as to its effectiveness, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no 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 our fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, except for the items discussed in remediation below.
Remediation
We have implemented a remediation plan which seeks to address the previously reported material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, described in Part II, Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures” in our 2023 Annual Report. Remediation measures include, but are not limited to, adding additional resources to our finance function, retaining the services of outside consultants, and establishing additional review procedures over the accounting for complex and non-routine transactions. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until, and to the extent, the newly designed controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. While we currently anticipate that the remediation of this material weakness should be completed by the end of our fourth quarter of this fiscal year, the elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects (including within the anticipated timeframe). Notwithstanding the material weakness, we believe the financial statements in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
