Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed to ensure that the disclosure of required information in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information requiring disclosure in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our “Certifying Officers”), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s assessment of our design and operation of disclosure controls is ongoing. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2023, our Certifying Officers have concluded that, as of December 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not adequate at the reasonable assurance level, due to material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, as described below.
(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Certifying Officers, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes under GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance (a) that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements under GAAP, (b) that our receipts and expenditures are being made only following authorizations of our management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding the prevention or timely detection of the unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of 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 effectiveness evaluation in future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
As required by Rule 13a-15(c) under the Exchange Act, our Certifying Officers evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). In their assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, management concluded that such control was ineffective and that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses because (i) we currently do not employ the appropriate number of accounting personnel to ensure (a) we maintain proper segregation of duties, (b) conduct a tolerable risk assessment, and (ii) we have not adequately documented a complete assessment of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting.
Notwithstanding the identified material weakness as of December 31, 2023, management, including the Certifying Officers, believe that the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Annual Report filing reasonably present, in all material respect, our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the fiscal period presented in conformity with GAAP.
(c) Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Although we have continued our remediation efforts in connection with identified material weaknesses, the material weakness, as discussed above, has yet to be fully remediated. As we remediate the material weakness in our internal controls, we made changes to our internal controls, including changes to enhance the supervisory review of our accounting procedures.
(d) Auditor’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. According to SEC rules, management reports were not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm, which permits us to provide only management reports on internal control over financial reporting in this Annual Report.
