Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2025. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2025, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective due to the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting discussed below.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency or a combination of significant deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management performed an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 and concluded our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2024, due to the fact that (i) we were unable to document, formalize, implement and revise where necessary controls, policies and procedure documentation to evidence a system of controls, inclusive of IT controls, including testing of such controls that is consistent with our current personnel and available resources; (ii) we failed to document, maintain and test effective control activities over our control environment, risk assessment, information technology and monitoring components; and (iii) we had insufficient segregation of duties, oversight of work performed and lack of compensating controls in our finance and accounting functions, including, without limitation, the processing, review and authorization of all routine and non-routine transactions, due to limited personnel and resources.
Material Weakness and Remediation Plan
As previously reported on our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2024, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting due to the fact that (i) we were unable to document, formalize, implement and revise where necessary controls, policies and procedure documentation to evidence a system of controls, inclusive of IT controls, including testing of such controls that is consistent with our current personnel and available resources; (ii) we failed to document, maintain and test effective control activities over our control environment, risk assessment, information technology and monitoring components; and (iii) we had insufficient segregation of duties, oversight of work performed and lack of compensating controls in our finance and accounting functions, including, without limitation, the processing, review and authorization of all routine and non-routine transactions, due to limited personnel and resources. This material weakness continues to exist as of June 30, 2025.
Our management has been engaged in developing and implementing remediation plans to address the material weaknesses described above. Until we have sufficient technical accounting resources, we have engaged external consultants to provide support and to assist us in our evaluation of more complex applications of GAAP to aid in the remediation efforts of the material weakness.
We continue to enhance corporate oversight over process-level controls and structures to ensure that there is appropriate assignment of authority, responsibility, and accountability to enable remediation of our material weaknesses. As we continue to evaluate, and work to improve, our internal control over financial reporting, management may determine that additional measures to address control deficiencies or modifications to the remediation plan are necessary.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
