Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We continued to conduct ongoing evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures”, as defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of Exchange Act, as of March 31, 2024, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. This evaluation, which was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), is performed to determine whether our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and effectively operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q due to the material weakness discussed below.

Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting

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. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP.

Because of its inherent limitations, our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls or fraud. Effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate over time.

Under the supervision and with the participation of the CEO and the CFO, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2024. We performed an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework described inInternal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2024 given the existence of the previously identified material weakness described below having not been remediated as of the last day of the period covered by this Quarterly Report.

Material Weakness

We have identified one material weakness in the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting in connection with the preparation of our financial statements, that had not been remediated as of March 31, 2024. 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 a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The Company’s management, including our CEO and CFO, concluded that, as of March 31, 2024:

We lacked a sufficient complement of professionals with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge, training and experience to maintain appropriate segregation of duties in our finance and accounting functions.

Our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to opine on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act until we are no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act.

Remediation Plan and Status

We have taken and intend to continue to take actions to remediate the material weakness described above. To remediate this material weakness, we continue to map, document and test our internal controls (recently, with the assistance of a third-party accounting firm with specific expertise in SOX compliance), and accordingly, we continued to make progress in our internal controls plan. Among other procedures, management has executed the following remedial actions:

In addition to the actions underway, we continue to add enhancements to our internal controls over financial reporting in 2024. Additional remedial actions include:

The actions we are taking are subject to ongoing senior management review, as well as oversight of the audit committee of our Board. We also may conclude that additional measures may be required to remediate the material weaknesses or determine to modify the remediation plans described above. We will not be able to fully remediate this material weakness until these steps have been completed and have been operating effectively. We will continue to monitor the design and effectiveness of these and other processes, procedures, and controls and make any further changes management deems appropriate.

In addition to the items noted above, as we continue to evaluate, remediate and improve our internal control over financial reporting, executive management may elect to implement additional measures to address control deficiencies or may determine that the remediation efforts described above require modification. Executive management, in consultation with and at the direction of our Audit Committee and an expert outside consultant, will continue to assess the control environment and the above-mentioned efforts to remediate the underlying causes of the identified material weakness.

Although we plan to complete this remediation process as quickly as possible, we are unable, at this time to estimate how long it will take; and our efforts may not be successful in remediating the deficiencies or material weaknesses.

Notwithstanding the material weakness set forth above, based on the performance of additional procedures by management designed to ensure reliability of financial reporting, the Company’s management has concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates, and for the periods presented, in conformity with GAAP.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
