Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a–15(e) and 15d-15(e)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision, and with the participation, of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. During the preparation of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, our management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting due to a lack of segregation of duties. A material weakness is defined as 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 our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Specifically, in connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, we determined that there were certain errors pertaining to our accounting for stock- based compensation, which resulted in our identification of a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting related to lack of properly designed, implemented and effective operating controls.
Remediation Plan for Material Weakness
With the addition of our chief accounting officer, engagement of expert advisors and the changes made to our accounting and financial reporting processes and internal controls during the three months ended September 30, 2025, we have strengthened our internal controls and will continue to add staff, evaluate and enhance qualification of staff, and implement initiatives to improve our internal controls over financial reporting as we grow. We have concluded that the material weakness has been effectively remediated as of September 30, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we implemented changes to our internal control over financial reporting to address the previously identified material weakness. These changes included:
| ● | Engagement of Expert Advisors: We engaged external advisors with specialized knowledge in accounting and internal controls to assist, as needed, in designing and implementing effective control procedures. |
| ● | Enhancements to Accounting and Financial Reporting Processes: We revised our processes for accounting for stock-based compensation, including the implementation of new controls to ensure proper segregation of duties and accurate financial reporting. |
| ● | Staffing and Training Initiatives: We initiated plans to add staff and enhance the qualifications of existing personnel to strengthen our internal control environment. |
These changes were designed to remediate the material weakness and improve the reliability of our financial reporting. We believe these measures have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these controls and make further enhancements as necessary to ensure the ongoing reliability of our financial statements.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within an organization have been detected. Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. We continue to implement, improve, and refine our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting.
