Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2024 (“Evaluation Date”). Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2024.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. Our management recognizes that any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain judgments and assumptions and cannot provide absolute assurance that its objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. The design of any system of controls is based in part 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 Control over Financial Reporting
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our 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. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This process 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 our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to risk that the internal control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Previously Reported Material Weakness
In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, we disclosed a material weakness related to the identification of non-standard and complex transaction disclosure requirements, specifically regarding the exclusion of the calculated noncash value of the effect of the down round feature triggered in August of 2023, on the Company’s Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock, which should have been recorded as a noncash charge directly to accumulated deficit and a noncash reduction to income available to common stockholders in the computation of earnings per share for the third quarter of 2023.
Remediation Actions Taken
Since the date we identified the material weakness in the fourth quarter of 2023, we took steps to ensure that financial statement preparation checklists utilized by the Company to identify non-standard and complex transactions disclosure requirements are completed and reviewed by resources with requisite knowledge in a timely manner for financial reporting purposes, to improve disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting in these complex non-standard technical areas. While we had procedures and processes to apply accounting and disclosure standards to non-standard and complex transactions, we did not have adequate resources to provide for the timely identification of the required treatment of the value of a down round feature in the period in which it is triggered. This material weakness prevented us from properly including the noncash impact of the down round feature as a noncash reduction to accumulated deficit and a noncash reduction of income available to common stockholders in the computation of earnings per share for the third quarter of 2023.
The remediation steps described above were effective in the fourth quarter of 2023 and in place and operating as of December 31, 2023 and throughout Fiscal Year 2024. As a result, as previously disclosed in our Fiscal Year 2023 10-K, notwithstanding the material weakness described above, management believes the consolidated financial statements presented in its Fiscal Year 2023 10-K fairly presented, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented therein, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Based on our assessments as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we concluded that the previously reported material weakness related to the identification of non-standard and complex transaction disclosure requirements, specifically regarding exclusion of the calculated noncash value of the effect of the down round feature triggered in August of 2023 on the Company’s Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock, has been remediated.
Management’s Assessment of the Effectiveness of our Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. In conducting its evaluation, management used the framework set forth in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on our evaluation under such framework, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2024.
We are an “smaller reporting company,” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act and, accordingly, we are not required to provide the attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our internal control over financial reporting required by Item 308(b) of Regulation S-K.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except as described above, there have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2024.
