ATLANTIC INTERNATIONAL CORP.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our 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. Management has used the framework set forth in the report entitled “Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013)” published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on that assessment, our management has identified certain material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.

Prior to the Merger, we were a private company and had limited accounting and financial reporting personnel with which to address our internal controls and related procedures. Our management concluded that as of September 30, 2025, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective, and that material weaknesses existed in the areas of accounting for complex financial transactions or non-routine transactions. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), 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. We currently consult with third-party experts to overcome this weakness. Additionally, we had a material weakness related to segregation of duties in finance and accounting. Due to our limited accounting and financial reporting personnel, we have ineffective controls over the period end financial disclosure and reporting process.

We are in the process of negotiating with a third party to assess and implement measures designed to improve our internal control over financial reporting to remediate the material weaknesses and have plans to start implementing them by the end of 2025 or early 2026. For example, we plan to design and implement improved processes and internal controls, including ongoing senior management review and Audit Committee oversight. Additionally, we plan to further develop and implement formal policies, processes and documentation procedures relating to our financial reporting, including the oversight of third-party service providers. Our actions are subject to ongoing executive management review and will also be subject to Audit Committee oversight.

Notwithstanding the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described above, our management has concluded that our condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are fairly stated in all material respects.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
