Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Per Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, the term disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision of our Board of Directors and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or the “certifying officers, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in and pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2024. The certifying officers concluded that, as a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below in “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting”, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2024; accordingly, we are implementing additional procedures to remediate these shortcomings as outlined below.
Notwithstanding the identified material weakness, our management believes the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented, in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
| ● | pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets of such company; |
| ● | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of such company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of such company; and |
| ● | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of such company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Also, 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. A material weakness is a deficiency, or 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.
Our management, with participation of the certifying officers, under the oversight of our Board of Directors, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 using the framework inInternal Control — Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (commonly referred to as the “COSO” framework). Based on that evaluation, management concluded our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2024 due to the material weakness identified in the paragraph below.
The following material weakness in internal control over financial reporting was identified as of December 31, 2024: due to an ineffective information and communication process to ensure the completeness and accuracy of underlying data and reports, we did not effectively design, implement and operate process-level controls and effective general information technology (“IT”) controls relevant to our financial reporting processes.
Notwithstanding the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting identified above, this did not result in any material misstatements to our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024. This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm due to the established rules of the SEC.
Remediation Plan for Existing Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During 2024, we evaluated our IT systems and financial reporting processes, and we are in the process of expanding the functionality of some of our IT systems and implementing certain new IT systems to provide for higher levels of automation and assurance in our financial reporting function. These changes are expected to result in the generation of accurate and complete information that can be relied upon to execute process and IT controls in a repeatable manner. The actions we are taking are subject to ongoing senior management review, as well as oversight from our Board of Directors. When fully implemented and operational, we believe the measures described above will remediate the underlying causes of the control deficiencies that gave rise to the material weakness and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. However, remediation efforts may continue beyond the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. We will not be able to fully remediate this material weakness until these steps have been completed and have been operating effectively for a sufficient period of time. We may also identify additional measures that may be required to remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, necessitating further action.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than the remediation progress discussed above, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
