Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of March 29, 2025, the Company conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively) regarding the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 29, 2025, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the requisite time periods and that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that, as of March 29, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 29, 2025 due to the following material weaknesses which were disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2024, as amended and continue to exist as of March 29, 2025:
We identified control deficiencies, that when aggregated, constitute material weaknesses as follows:
| ● | Design and operating effectiveness of information technology general computer controls in the areas of user access and program change-management for certain information technology systems that are critical to capturing, processing, and reporting financial transactions. These ineffective information technology controls contributed to (i) improper segregation of duties among certain business process controls and (ii) ineffective data validation of spreadsheets and system-generated reports. |
| ● | Management did not design, implement and retain appropriate documentation of control procedures to achieve timely, complete and accurate recording and disclosures across multiple financial statement areas including accounting and disclosure of stockholder’s equity, share-based compensation, certain other receivables, accruals, and certain investments, including insufficient review controls around completeness and accuracy of information produced by the entity and documentation of evidence of reviews. |
| ● | Management did not design, implement and retain appropriate documentation of certain business process controls related to the revenue cycle, including insufficient review controls around completeness and accuracy of information produced by the entity including, certain costs incurred, estimates to complete, and documentation of evidence of contract accounting reviews. |
Remediation Activities
Management is actively engaged in the implementation of a remediation plan to implement measures designed to improve our internal control over financial reporting to remediate these material weaknesses with oversight from the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than the changes discussed above in connection with the changes designed and implemented as a result of our remediation plan of the previously identified material weaknesses, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 29, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
