Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms. These controls and procedures include, without limitation, processes designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
With the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, management has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that, due to a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to technical accounting matters, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2025. Notwithstanding this material weakness, management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented.
Management's Reporting on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Our ICFR is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Steve G. Johnson, and our principal financial and chief accounting officer, Jason T. Thompson, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s ICFR as of December 31, 2025. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth in theInternal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s ICFR was not effective as of December 31, 2025 due to the existence of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below.
Notwithstanding the identified material weakness, management performed additional procedures to conclude that the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Material Weakness and Remediation Plan
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal controls 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. Management has determined that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of the year ended December 31, 2025 due to the existence of the material weakness in technical accounting.
Based on additional procedures and post-closing review, Management concluded that the consolidated financial statements including this report present fairly, in all material respects, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles accepted in the United States.
We began to take steps to address our material weaknesses, through our remediation plan. We implemented the following measures:
| ● | Identify and employ additional full-time highly qualified accounting personnel to join the corporate accounting function to enhance overall monitoring, maintain standard internal controls, and accounting oversight within the Company. |
| ● | The Company hired an Accounting Manager on June 21, 2023 and a Staff Accountant on August 16, 2023 in addition to the certified public accountant (“CPA”) as its Controller. |
| ● | Implement enhanced documentation associated with management review controls and validation of the completeness and accuracy of financial reporting and key management financial reports. |
| ● | Provide training of standard operating procedures and internal controls to key stakeholders within the supply chain, logistics, and inventory processes. |
| ● | Enhance and automate existing internal control to ensure proper authorization, review, and recording of financial transactions. |
| ● | On an as-needed basis, identify and engage certain third-party subject matter experts to assist with the preparation and reporting of complex business and accounting transactions. |
| ● | Engaged CFO Squad for our tax provisioning and RRBB for our income tax preparation. |
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the quarter ended December 31, 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Controls
Our management can provide no assurance that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting can prevent all errors and all fraud under all circumstances. 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. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been or will be detected. The design of any system of controls 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; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
