Item 1A. Risk Factors

Previous report

Significant developments resulting from recent and potential changes in United States tariff policies could have a material adverse effect on us.

Previous report

The current U.S. presidential administration has imposed tariffs on various goods from various countries, including the European Union (“EU”), and has announced intentions to impose further significant tariffs on certain United States imports. We rely on suppliers operating in, and exporting from, the EU, including our exclusive supplier of the filtration materials and technology used in certain of our filtration products. To the extent that tariffs and other restrictions imposed by the United States increase the price of, or limit the amount of, materials and finished goods imported into the United States, the costs of our materials, which we may be unable to pass onto customers, may be adversely affected, which could adversely affect our revenues and profitability. We cannot predict the effect these and potential additional tariffs will have on our supplier and our business, including in the context of escalating trade tensions. Further tariffs, additional taxes, or trade barriers, both domestically and internationally, may affect our costs and margins, the competitiveness of our products, and our ability to sell products or purchase necessary equipment and supplies, and consequently materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial conditions.

Previous report

We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. If we are unable to remediate this material weakness, or if we identify additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and the value of our common stock.

Previous report

In connection with the preparation of our financial statements as of and for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2025, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Specifically, our management has concluded that we have not designed or maintained effective controls to ensure that we properly recognize revenue from service-based sales contracts. See “PART I – Item 4. Internal Controls and Procedures” in this Quarterly Report.

Previous report

Although these items did not result in a material misstatement to our financial statements, this material weakness could have resulted in a material misstatement to our annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. While we are designing and implementing measures to remediate our existing material weakness, we cannot predict the success of such measures. Our current controls and any new controls that we develop may become inadequate because of changes in conditions in our business, personnel, information technology systems or other factors. If we fail to remediate our existing material weakness or identify new material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, or if we are unable to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, it is possible that a material misstatement of our financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, and the value of our common stock could be materially and adversely affected.

Previous report

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, none of our directors or officers adopted orterminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K.
