Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) prior to the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting:
| ● | There was a material weakness in our internal controls related to the proper design and implementation of control over formal review, approval, and evaluation of complex accounting transactions associated with business combinations. |
| ● | We identified a material weakness in internal control related to the proper design and implementation of certain controls over management’s formal review process that includes multiple levels of review as well as timely review of accounts and reconciliations leading to material adjustments. |
| ● | We identified a material weakness in internal control related to the proper design and implementation of certain controls over income tax provision and management’s review of the income tax provision. |
| ● | We did not design and maintain effective controls over financial reporting for accounts receivable and unearned revenue, freight charges, and inventory and cost of sales accounts. |
| ● | We did not design and maintain effective controls over financial reporting related to the proper presentation and disclosure for related party transactions. |
| ● | We did not effectively select and develop certain information technology general controls related to access and change management controls that led to deficiencies in the design and operation of control activities. |
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Following the identification and communication of the material weaknesses described above, management continued to implement the following remediation actions relating to these material weaknesses during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as follows:
| ● | We continued to utilize the services of external consultants for non-routine and/or technical accounting issues as they arise. |
| ● | We continued to expand and improve our review process for complex accounting transactions by enhancing access to accounting literature, engaging third-party professionals with whom to consult regarding complex accounting applications, and hiring additional staff with the requisite experience and training to supplement existing accounting professionals. |
| ● | Management, with the assistance of a third party, continued to perform an evaluation of the processes and procedures around our processes, internal control design gaps, and recommend process enhancements. |
| ● | We continued to implement enhancements and process improvements, including the design and implementation of reporting systems relating to the January 2025 launch of our new NetSuite enterprise resource planning system. |
The material weaknesses identified above will not be considered fully remediated until these additional controls and procedures have operated effectively for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are effective. Our management will monitor the effectiveness of our remediation plans and will make changes management determines to be appropriate.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, except as described above.
Inherent Limitation on the Effectiveness of Internal Control
The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute assurances. In addition, 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 our policies or procedures may deteriorate. We intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business but cannot assure that such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial reporting.
