Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a)Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of September 30, 2024, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As more fully set forth in the “Explanatory Note” appearing on the first page of this Report, the Company has determined that its previously issued financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and the quarters ended June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023 need to be restated. Based on the need for the restatement and their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of September 30,2024 our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting were not effective, due to material weaknesses in SSi’s internal controls in that:
| ● | We failed to design controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that U.S. GAAP was being properly applied to certain transactions, resulting in the accounting errors described in the Explanatory Note. |
| ● | We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness. |
| ● | We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness. |
The Company has been addressing and remediating these material weaknesses with the support and assistance of the accounting and financial staff employed by our Indian operating subsidiary. We are enhancing the review process for significant transactions to ensure proper accounting treatment under applicable guidelines and are engaging external experts where necessary to assist in the application of accounting principles to complex transactions. In addition, we are implementing a new ERP system which is designed to integrate all business functions within the accounting and financial department to further address the abovementioned weaknesses.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer do not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. Although our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at doing so, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Further, the design of any control system is subject to resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the fact that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Additionally, controls can be circumvented if there exists in an individual a desire to do so. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
(b)Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
Except for the remediation efforts described above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
