Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluated 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 (the “Exchange Act”), as of December 31, 2024. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that as a result of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of December 31, 2024.
Notwithstanding the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described above, our management has concluded that our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are fairly stated in all material respects in accordance with GAAP.
Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
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 and based upon the criteria established in the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures designed to, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the Company’s transactions, and provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Our management, including our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. In making this evaluation, management used the criteria set forth by the COSO framework. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 was not effective due to the material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting described below.
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.
In our 2023 10-K (as filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024), we disclosed material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting related to: (i) the accounting for complex transactions and estimates requiring significant judgment, and (ii) revenue recognition. During the audit of our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, we determined that the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting identified as of December 31, 2023 still exist relating to: (i) the accounting for complex transactions and estimates requiring significant judgment and (ii) revenue recognition.
We will continue to assess the allocation of resources necessary to ensure effective controls over revenue recognition and accounting for complex transactions and other areas requiring significant judgment. We have taken and will continue to take steps to improve our internal control processes and will continue to review, optimize, enhance, and test our controls and procedures as our control environment matures over time.
The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
