Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating our 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 and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as such terms are defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports 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 principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated, as of March 31, 2025, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2025 due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13(a)-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Exchange Act. With the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2025 based on the guidelines established in the Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013 framework) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2025 because of the material weaknesses 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 the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

We did not design and maintain an effective control environment commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. Specifically, we did not maintain a sufficient complement of personnel with an appropriate degree of internal controls and accounting knowledge, experience, and training commensurate with our accounting and financial reporting requirements. This material weakness contributed to the following material weaknesses:

•We did not design and maintain effective controls over the segregation of duties related to journal entries. Specifically, certain personnel have the ability to both create and post journal entries within the Company’s general ledger system. This material weakness did not result in any adjustments to the consolidated financial statements.

•We did not design and maintain effective controls over the accounting for the accuracy and existence of inventory, nor controls which verified the completeness and accuracy of accrued liabilities. Each of these material weaknesses resulted in immaterial adjustments within the year ended December 31, 2022 and the accrued liabilities material weakness resulted in immaterial adjustments within the year ended December 31, 2024, and in the interim period ended March 31,2025.

•We did not design and maintain effective controls over the accounting for debt and equity arrangements, including convertible preferred stock, warrant arrangements, and stock-based compensation modifications. Further, we did not design and maintain effective controls to verify the completeness and accuracy of sales returns and accrued sales tax. Each of these material weaknesses resulted in material adjustments to several account balances and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019. The sales returns material weakness also resulted in immaterial adjustments to revenue and accrued and other expenses as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022. The convertible preferred stock and warrant arrangements material weakness and sales tax material weakness resulted in immaterial adjustments for the year ended December 31, 2024.

•We did not design and maintain effective controls related to the review of the statement of cash flows. This material weakness resulted in adjustments to various line items within the operating, investing, and financing categories of the cash flow and resulted in revisions to the previously issued consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2023 and to the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the interim periods ended March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, September 30, 2023, March 31, 2024, June 30, 2024, and September 30, 2024.

•We did not design and maintain effective controls over IT general controls for information systems that are relevant to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Specifically, we did not design and maintain (i) program change management controls to ensure that IT program and data changes affecting financial IT applications and underlying accounting records are identified, tested, authorized and implemented appropriately, (ii) user access controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties and that adequately restrict user and privileged access to financial applications, programs, and data to appropriate Company personnel, (iii) computer operations controls to ensure that critical batch jobs are monitored, and data backups are authorized and monitored, and (iv) testing and approval controls for program development to ensure that new software development is aligned with business and IT requirements. This material weakness did not result in any adjustments to the consolidated financial statements.

Additionally, each of the material weaknesses described above could result in a misstatement of one or more account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the interim or annual consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

Remediation Plan

We have initiated a plan to remediate these material weaknesses. The remediation measures will be ongoing, and although not all inclusive, remediation measures include hiring additional accounting and financial reporting personnel and implementing additional policies, procedures and controls, all of which will result in future costs for the Company.

We have taken actions to improve our IT general controls, segregation of duties over journal entries controls, inventory controls, accrued liabilities, convertible preferred stock, warrant arrangements, sales returns and accrued sales tax controls.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, we took actions to enhance the design of the controls we believe are necessary to remediate the material weaknesses related to the accrued sales tax that we believe will remediate the material weakness. Further, we made enhancements to the design of the control over the statement of cash flows that will support the remediation of the material weakness. As we continue to make progress towards remediation of these material weaknesses, we may determine the need to make further enhancements to the design of these controls. We continue to take actions to enhance the design of the controls we believe are necessary to remediate the material weaknesses related to sales returns and the accounting for debt and equity arrangements, including convertible preferred stock and warrant arrangements. While these enhancements to the design of the controls have been implemented as of September 30, 2024, we may determine the need to make further enhancements to the design of these controls. The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until our remediation plan has been fully implemented, the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time, and we have concluded, through testing, that the newly implemented and enhanced controls are operating effectively.

Notwithstanding the above, our management believes that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report state fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As described in the remediation efforts above, there were changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
