EXPLANATORY NOTE

Restatement and Revision

As previously reported by the Company in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 8, 2023, the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company, in consultation with the Company’s management, determined that (i) the Company’s previously issued audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2022 and for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, (ii) associated reports of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Marcum LLP (“Marcum”), and (iii) the Company’s previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements during those years and for the first and second quarters of 2023 included in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q (the “Subject Periods”) contained the accounting errors relating to the compliance with U.S. GAAP in connection with the Company’s accounting policies for capitalizing software development costs. The errors related primarily to the application of the relevant accounting standards to projects, including the timing of capitalization with respect to software development projects and the nature of costs eligible for capitalization.

As a result of these errors, the Audit Committee determined that the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements for the Subject Periods should no longer be relied upon and should be restated. Similarly, any previously issued or filed reports, press releases, earnings releases, investor presentations or other communications of the Company describing the Company’s financial results or other financial information relating to the Subject Periods should no longer be relied upon.

Additionally, the previous reports of Marcum LLP on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2022 and for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022 likewise should no longer be relied upon.

As of the date of this report, the Company has filed with the SEC an amendment to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and to the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023 that include financial statements that amend and restate the previously issued unaudited consolidated financial statements originally filed with such filings and reports. The foregoing Quarterly Reports amend and restate the financial statements as of and for the comparable 2022 periods.

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 includes financial statements that amend and restate the Company’s unaudited financial statements as of and for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022. Please see Note 2 to the unaudited financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of the restatement and the impact on the specific accounts in such unaudited financial statements.
