Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit 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 management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2025, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q due to the material weaknesses described below. Notwithstanding the material weaknesses and based on additional analyses and other procedures management performed, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are fairly stated in all material respects in accordance with GAAP for each of the periods presented.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. As previously disclosed in the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the following material weaknesses were identified as of September 30, 2025 and remain outstanding as of December 31, 2025:

Additionally, these material weaknesses could result in misstatements of substantially all account balances and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Remediation Plans

Statements of Cash Flows – During fiscal year 2026, management has continued to take steps to remediate the material weakness, including implementing a new cash flow reporting tool which automates the calculation of the effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents. In addition, we designed and implemented new processes and controls over the review of the consolidated statement of cash flows. While the new and enhanced controls have been designed and implemented and we monitored and evaluated their effectiveness during the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, they have not operated for a sufficient period as of December 31, 2025 to assert the material weakness has been remediated.

Account Reconciliations – Since the identification of the material weakness in the fiscal second quarter of 2025, including during the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, we have started taking the necessary steps to work towards remediating the material weakness. Specifically, we are designing and enhancing the controls and precision level over balance sheet reconciliations, drafting a new policy, and working with outside consultants to assist in certain aspects of the remediation plan. We will continue to take the necessary steps to address this material weakness.

Expense Classification – During the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, management initiated actions to remediate the identified material weakness. Specifically, we designed and implemented new controls related to the review of the classification of certain costs within the consolidated statements of operations. Management will continue to evaluate and monitor the operating effectiveness of these controls over subsequent periods to determine whether the material weakness has been remediated.

These material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until we have completed the design and implementation of the applicable controls and they operate for a sufficient period of time for management to conclude, through testing, that such controls are operating effectively.

We are committed to continuing to improve our internal control over financial reporting, and as we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, we may take additional measures to address control deficiencies, or we may modify certain of the remediation measures described above.

*Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.*The Remediation Plans described above are changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
