Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, and disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer concluded that, due to the material weaknesses described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2026. Notwithstanding the existence of these material weaknesses, management believes that the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods disclosed in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”).
Previously Reported Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
As previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2025 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, management identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. 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 our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has determined that the following material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting have not been remediated as of June 30, 2026.
Control Environment, Risk Assessment and Monitoring
Management has determined that the Company did not maintain appropriately designed entity-level controls impacting the (1) control environment, (2) risk assessment procedures, (3) control activities, (4) information and communication, and (5) monitoring activities to prevent or detect material misstatements to the financial statements and assess whether the components of internal control were present and functioning properly. These deficiencies were primarily attributed to (i) turnover of the Chief Financial Officer, (ii) lack of structure and responsibility, insufficient number of qualified resources, and inadequate oversight and accountability over the performance of controls, (iii) ineffective identification and assessment of risks impacting internal control over financial reporting, and (iv) ineffective evaluation and determination as to whether the components of internal control were present and functioning.
Control Activities and Information and Communication
These material weaknesses contributed to the following additional material weaknesses within certain business processes and the information technology environment:
| · | Management did not design, implement, and retain appropriate documentation of formal accounting policies, procedures, and controls across substantially all of the Company’s business processes over: (i) the financial reporting process, including management review controls over key disclosures and financial statement support schedules, (ii) the monthly financial close process, including journal entries and account reconciliations and (iii) the completeness and accuracy of information used by control owners in the operation of certain controls, to achieve timely, complete, accurate financial accounting, reporting. |
| · | The Company did not design and maintain effective processes and controls to ensure all journal entries are properly reviewed and approved prior to posting to the general ledger. |
| · | Management did not design and maintain appropriate information technology general controls in the areas of user access, vendor management controls, and segregation of duties related to certain information technology systems that support the Company’s financial reporting process. |
As a result of these material weaknesses, the Company’s management has concluded that, as of June 30, 2026, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on the criteria in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
However, after giving full consideration to these material weaknesses, and the additional analyses and other procedures that we performed to ensure that our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, our management has concluded that our consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods disclosed in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
Management communicated the results of its assessment to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
Remediation Efforts
Management, with oversight from the Audit Committee and Board of Directors, is committed to the remediation of the material weaknesses described above. The Company has continued to implement measures to improve the internal control structure. Specifically, the Company has taken steps to address the material weaknesses, including:
| · | hiring, and continuing to hire, additional accounting and information technology personnel, and engage outside consulting firms as needed, to establish effective processes and controls, including establishing appropriate segregation of duties, |
| · | developed formal accounting policies, procedures and controls related to the period-end financial reporting process including designing and maintaining controls over account reconciliations, journal entries, and financial reporting and disclosures; and |
| · | enhanced information technology governance processes, including our program change management, computer operations, program development, and user access controls, enhancing role-based access, and implementing more robust information technology policies and procedures |
While the Company believes that these efforts improved the internal control over financial reporting once implemented, these measures will require validation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over a sustained period of financial reporting cycles.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than as described above, there were no other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act during the quarter ended June 30, 2026 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
