Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as of December 31, 2024.

The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files under the Exchange Act 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 the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s management recognizes that 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. Our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to meet reasonable assurance standards. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints that require the Company’s management to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon 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.

Based on this evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2024, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company's management evaluated the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), or COSO. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2024, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on the COSO framework.

Remediation of 2023 Material Weakness

As previously reported in the Company's 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company identified two material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting relating to a spreadsheet calculation error and a cash flow statement classification error.

In order to remediate these errors, the Company implemented the following during 2024:

●A. The Spreadsheet Calculation Error. The Company implemented a control during the third-quarter to compare the change in the significant inputs to the subordinated debt fair value calculation with those from the prior period calculation to determine whether the resulting current change in fair value appears reasonable, given the change in the significant inputs a policy whereby alterations to workpapers pertaining to material financial items require an additional layer of review to ensure such alterations were correctly calculated.
●B. Cash Flow Statement Classification Error. The Company failed to consult on the cash flow presentation aspect of the transaction. In the third quarter, the Company modified its existing policy that requires it to consult with third party experts on significant and/or unusual transactions to explicitly state that such consultations need to include all accounting aspects, including presentation and disclosure.

As a result of these measures, the Company believes that the 2023 material weaknesses described above have been remediated.

Attestation Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 has been audited by Plante & Moran PLLC, an independent registered public accounting firm. Their attestation report is included in Item 8 under the heading "Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm," and is incorporated into this Item 9A by reference.

Since the date of this acquisition, the Company has been analyzing and evaluating procedures and controls to determine their effectiveness and to make them consistent with our disclosure controls and procedures.

There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the period beginning October 1, 2024, and ending December 31, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting, except with respect to Image Solutions.
