Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Limitations on Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints that require management to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2025. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2025 due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as described below.
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management, including our CEO and CFO, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP in the United States.
A company’s 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 of the Company; (2) 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 the Company are being made only in accordance with authorization of management and the directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized use or disposition of the 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 the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, using the criteria established in the Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2025 as a result of the following material weaknesses described below:
As a result of turnover in key management within the accounting and finance departments during the year, combined with decentralized, manual processes, management identified deficiencies associated with the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of certain process level and management review controls related to the financial close process, including journal entries, account reconciliation, recording of revenue and accounts receivable, inventory and cost of sales, and in review and assessment of accounting for infrequent, unusual transactions.
As previously disclosed, management identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2023 in the areas of user access and segregation of duties related to certain information technology systems that support the Company’s financial reporting processes including revenue, inventory, purchasing and related expenditures, resulting in ineffective journal entry and other manual controls. As of December 31, 2025, management has determined that certain remediation as described below has been in place for a sufficient period of time to conclude that the system-related user access and segregation of duties component of the material weakness identified in 2023 has been remediated. However, we were unable to complete our remediation of the 2024 material weakness due to remaining segregation of duties and authorization deficiencies related to certain process-level controls primarily within the procure-to-pay process. As a result, this prior material weakness remained outstanding as of December 31, 2025.
Remediation Efforts
In 2025, we designed and implemented measures to improve internal control over financial reporting to partially remediate the controls that led to the prior year material weakness described above. Such remediation measures included:
We designed and implemented enhanced processes and controls related to reviewing and provisioning access to key financial systems and ensuring appropriate segregation of duties; and
We deployed a new corporate accounting system to support appropriate segregation of duties.
In order to fully remediate the prior year material weakness, as well as the material weakness identified during the year ended December 31, 2025, we plan to:
Enhance governance and reporting over the execution of these remediation action items, specifically the design, expansion, implementation and testing of certain controls related to the revenue, inventory and dealership purchasing processes;
Proceed with the design, implementation and testing of controls in the affected areas where appropriate; and
Enhance overall control environment through continued system enhancements and by further centralizing, standardizing and automating key processes within the revenue, inventory and dealership purchasing processes.
Management and our Audit Committee will monitor these specific remediation measures and the effectiveness of our overall control environment.
Management will continue its remediation plan with respect to both of the material weaknesses described above by proceeding with the design, implementation and testing of mitigating controls in the affected areas where appropriate. Additionally, Management intends to enhance overall control environment through the following activities:
Continued system enhancements and upgrades within our information technology environment;
Implement a centralized store support center, which will allow for standardization and automation of manual decentralized processes to drive improvements in controls over the financial statement close process; account reconciliations, journal entries, revenue recognition, inventory, and the procure-to-pay process;
Implement and monitor compliance with a comprehensive delegation of authority policy; and
Continued hiring of highly skilled accounting and finance employees to further improve the overall control environment.
A material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls have been designed, implemented, and demonstrated to operate effectively for a sufficient period of time, as determined through management testing. We can provide no assurance as to when the material weakness will be fully remediated.
Notwithstanding these material weaknesses, Management performed additional analyses and procedures and concluded that our consolidated financial statements included in this 2025 10-K fairly present in all material respects, our financial condition and results of operations as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than the remediation efforts described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
