Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding and the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and required disclosures.
As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2025. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of December 31, 2025, due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below in “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting”. In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures is also based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Management’s Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets of the Company; (ii) 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 of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) 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.
Internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements prepared for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, 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, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and interim Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, using the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment and those criteria, management concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, due to the material weakness described below.
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 the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Previously Identified Material Weakness in 2023 and Remediation
As previously disclosed, in connection with the restatement of RET’s audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 and as of December 31, 2022 and for the period from November 10, 2022 (inception) through December 31, 2022, RET’s management identified a material weakness in RET’s internal controls over financial reporting regarding the calculation of deferred tax assets and disclosure of income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740. Upon the completion of the Business Combination, RET became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we implemented remediation measures designed to address this material weakness, including enhancing our review controls over the preparation of the income tax provision and related disclosures and engaging third-party tax professionals to assist management with the preparation and review of income tax calculations and disclosures. Management evaluated the design and operating effectiveness of these enhanced controls during the year ended December 31, 2025 and concluded that the material weakness had been remediated as of December 31, 2025.
Newly Identified Material Weakness
The Company obtained its D&O liability insurance coverage effective December 31, 2024. On January 2, 2025, the Company executed an agreement with a financing company to finance $640,000 of the premium. On January 30, 2025, the down payment and first installment was paid. The Company should have recorded the premium financing agreement as a liability, with an offset to prepaid expenses, upon its execution. The error was identified as part of the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. As a result of such error, our management has determined that a material weakness existed in our internal control over financial reporting. As a result of this material weakness, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2025. This material weakness resulted in a material misstatement that affected the presentation of prepaid expenses and related liabilities on our balance sheets.
In connection with the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, the Audit Committee, in consultation with management, determined that the Company should restate its previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for each of the Affected Periods. Please see Note 2 to the Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for such restatements.
The Company intends to take steps to remediate this material weakness, including enhancing its internal controls over the accounting and review of recurring transactions, including insurance premium financing arrangements. Specifically, the Company plans to improve its accounting policies and implement a review control as part of the period-end close process to ensure such transactions are appropriately identified, evaluated, and recorded in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to RET’s Business and Industry—We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Such material weaknesses could continue to adversely affect our ability to report our results of operations and financial condition accurately and in a timely manner, could result in the loss of investor confidence, listing deficiencies or delisting from Nasdaq and litigation and adversely affect the trading of our securities.”
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
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 benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. Because of these inherent limitations, our disclosure and internal controls may not prevent or detect all instances of fraud, misstatements or other control issues. In addition, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure or internal controls to future periods are subject to risks, including, among others, that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management continued implementing and operating the enhanced controls described above relating to the preparation and review of income tax calculations and disclosures.
Other than these remediation efforts, there was no other change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, as the circumstances that led to the restatement of our financial statements for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025 described above had not yet been identified.
