Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Act of 1934. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be included in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms relating to the Company, including our consolidated subsidiaries, and was made known to them by others within those entities, particularly during the period when this report was being prepared. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2026 because of the material weaknesses identified in our internal controls over financial reporting.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurances with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Additionally, 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.
Under the supervision of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and subsequent guidance prepared by the Commission specifically for smaller public companies as of March 31, 2026. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2026 due to previously identified material weaknesses resulting from having insufficient personnel resources with technical accounting expertise related to certain aspects of the financial reporting process and a lack of sufficiently designed controls that support an effective assessment of our internal controls relating to the prevention of fraud and possible management override of controls.
In the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the year ended June 30, 2024, we disclosed that our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2024 because of material weaknesses identified in our internal controls over financial reporting. We also concluded that the previously issued audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 and the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarters ended September 30, 2023, December 31, 2023, and March 31, 2024, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 21, 2023, November 9, 2023, February 8, 2024 and May 13, 2024, respectively, should no longer be relied upon because of errors in such financial statements relating to the improper accounting for inventory. Accordingly, our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the year ended June 30, 2024 included the restatement of those periods. As a part of this restatement and evaluation process, we discovered that:
| (a) | the Company’s original estimate of the overstatement of inventories had risen due to additional excess and obsolete inventory identified related to inventory components not recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value, as well as consigned inventory not reconciled in a timely manner; |
| (b) | the Company had not properly recognized revenue in the periods in which the related performance obligations had been satisfied for a contract with a certain customer, and that the Company had improperly recorded accounts receivable pertaining to that contract as a reduction to its accounts payable owed to that customer although the right of offset conditions under ASC 210-20 had not been met, resulting in misstatements to revenues, accounts receivable and accounts payable; |

| (c) | the Company had improperly recorded various inventory write downs to research and development expenses although such expenses did not meet the classification criteria for research and development under ASC 730, resulting in an overstatement of research and development expenses and a corresponding understatement of cost of sales; |
| (d) | the Company had various clearing accounts that had not been reconciled in a timely manner, resulting in misstatements of accounts payable, inventories and cost of sales; |
| (e) | the Company had not included certain product warranty-related expenses within the proper periods in its calculation of its product warranty reserve estimate, resulting in an understatement of accrued expenses, an understatement of accounts payable and an understatement of cost of sales; and |
| (f) | the Company erroneously presented non-cash debt issuance cost incurred in conjunction with credit facility arrangements as a non-cash adjustment to reconcile net loss to net cash used in operating activities in the consolidated cash flow statements when such cost should have been recognized as a change in other assets. |
The Company’s management concluded that considering the errors described above, this represents an additional material weakness in the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The material weakness was based upon a lack of sufficiently designed controls over the prevention of fraud and possible management override of controls.
In March 2024, the Company strengthened its internal financial expertise by hiring a new Chief Financial Officer with over 20 years of experience with publicly traded companies and finance and accounting and who also served as an auditor for 10 years with Ernst & Young LLP, where he became a certified public accountant. As part of its ongoing remedial efforts to strengthen controls and procedures, in May 2024 the Company engaged an external financial consulting firm with extensive technical accounting experience to assist in the preparation of SEC filings, and subsequently hired a new Director of SEC Reporting with over fifteen years of public company SEC reporting experience. In addition, in August 2024 the Company engaged an external financial consulting firm to assist the Company with accounting advisory services. During fiscal 2025 and 2026, the Company continued to remediate the identified material weaknesses through additional processes and controls, including the timing of inventory audits, review of inventory for obsolescence and completeness of data used to estimate warranty liability. The Company intends to continue to strengthen its internal processes and procedures until the identified material weaknesses have been fully remediated.
The Company’s management recognizes that 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. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on 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 all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud or error, if any, have been detected, and there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal controls over financial reporting.
Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except as set forth above, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
