Item 9A. : Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act were effective as of December 31, 2025 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, in designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute 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 its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. Moreover, 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. We intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business but cannot assure you that such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
As discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we completed the Business Combinations on March 4, 2024. Prior to the Business Combination, we were a special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or other similar Business Combination with one or more target businesses. As a result, the internal controls of QT Imaging Holdings, Inc. (“QT Imaging”) became our internal controls and were deemed not comprehensive enough as our operations prior to the Business Combination were insignificant compared to those of the consolidated entity post-Business Combination.
The design and implementation of internal control over financial reporting post-Business Combination has required and will continue to require significant time and resources from management and other personnel. Because of this, the design and ongoing development of our framework for implementation and evaluation of internal control over financial reporting has ultimately enabled management to conduct an assessment of the effectiveness of QT Imaging’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. Accordingly, we are including herein management’s report on internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the SEC’s Regulation S-K 308(a).
Previously Identified Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to lack of segregation of duties around key accounting processes resulting from limited personnel resources.
In connection with the review of our condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2024, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to technical accounting aspects of certain material transactions.
In connection with the audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, we identified a misstatement in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March
31, 2024, six-month period ended June 30, 2024 and nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 as a result of a material weakness related to technical accounting.
There were no misstatements identified in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 as a result of these material weaknesses.
Management’s Remediation Efforts in 2025
To address the material weaknesses described above that we identified as of December 31, 2024, we implemented measures designed to improve our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2025. These measures included enhancing our internal and external technical accounting resources and engaging third party consultants for the formalization of our internal procedures. We completed documentation and tests of design and tests of operational effectiveness of our entity-level controls, certain areas of our information technology general computer controls (“ITGCs”), and controls over our business processes, and we remediated control gaps identified and performed tests of operating effectiveness on remediated items.
As a result of our remediation efforts, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer and oversight of the Board of Directors, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework). Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that as of December 31, 2025, we no longer have the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described above for entity-level controls and business process controls, which we previously identified existed as of December 31, 2024.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than the remediation efforts related to the material weaknesses as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred in the three months ended December 31, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
