Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”), concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms because of the material weaknesses in internal control over financing reporting disclosed below.
Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weaknesses were identified: (i) the Company had inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (ii) an insufficient number of personnel with an appropriate level of U.S. GAAP knowledge and experience, and (iii) ineffective controls over its financial statement close and reporting process. Specifically, the Company lacked sufficient preparation and review procedures for disclosures accompanying the financial statements and did not provide reasonable assurance that accounts were complete and accurate and agreed to detailed support and that reconciliations of accounts were properly performed, reviewed and approved.
We are actively working to remediate the deficiencies and material weaknesses, including leadership changes made during 2025. The Chief Financial Officer hired in January 2025 departed in June 2025, at which time a new Chief Financial Officer joined the Company. We also terminated our former Accounting Controller in August 2025 and are in the process of onboarding a new Accounting Controller. In July 2025, we hired a top 10 audit and accounting firm to assess our internal control environment, with a focus on access controls, order-to-cash processes, inventory management, return processing, and NetSuite optimization. Based on their assessment, we retained the firm under defined statements of work to implement improvements designed to strengthen the reliability, efficiency, and compliance of our financial reporting framework.
Work also have begun on implementing and documenting policies, procedures, and internal controls. We have begun strengthening our internal control environment through a collaborative process workflow and expect to take additional actions to remediate the deficiencies and address material weaknesses. In addition, as we continue to evaluate, remediate and improve our internal control over financial reporting, executive management may elect to implement additional measures to address control deficiencies or may determine that the remediation efforts described above require modification. Executive management, in consultation with our Audit Committee, will continue to assess the control environment and the Company’s remediation efforts to address the underlying material weaknesses.
We are unable, at this time, to estimate how long it will take to complete the remediation of our material weaknesses, and our efforts may not be successful.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than as described above, there were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to 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. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. These include the fact that human judgment in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns in internal control can occur because of human failures such as simple errors or mistakes or intentional circumvention of the established process. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting.
