Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2024. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to its management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 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 on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2024, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company’s board of directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
| ● | Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; |
| ● | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and |
| ● | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness 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.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2024. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this evaluation, management has concluded our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2024 was effective. The material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting for year ended June 30, 2023 has been remediated.
Remediation of Previously Reported Material Weakness
In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, our management identified a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, primarily the result of inadequate resources required to respond to financial reporting matters other than in the normal course of business. The material weakness was attributable to a lack of personnel and inadequate controls around segregation of duties in the accounting department resulting from employee turnover.
Management implemented a remediation plan to address the root cause that contributed to the material weakness and is committed to a strong Internal Control over Financial Reporting environment. Management engaged a third party that provides accounting and financial reporting services to provide a resource to serve as interim CFO to replace our former VP of Accounting and Controller, until a CFO could be hired. During the year, the Company hired a CFO and continued to retain the services of the interim CFO in the capacity of Corporate Controller. Both individuals have the requisite technical accounting knowledge. Furthermore, management also implemented review controls and processes to provide oversight over the Company’s period-end close and reporting processes. Management engaged a third party consultant to review and test its internal control processes. Once the applicable remedial controls operated for a sufficient period of time, they were tested and management has concluded that these controls are operating effectively.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than the actions we have taken to remediate the material weakness described above for the financial year ended June 30, 2023 there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the year ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
