Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable 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 judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures (as such terms are defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated, as of March 31, 2026, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2026 due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below.
Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. The material weaknesses are as follows: We did not design and maintain an effective control environment commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. Specifically, we did not maintain a sufficient complement of personnel with an appropriate degree of internal controls and accounting knowledge, experience, and training commensurate with our accounting and financial reporting requirements. This material weakness contributed to the following material weaknesses:
We did not design and maintain effective controls over the segregation of duties related to journal entries. Specifically, certain personnel have the ability to both create and post journal entries within the Company’s general ledger system. This material weakness did not result in any adjustments to the consolidated financial statements.
We did not design and maintain effective controls over the accounting for the accuracy and existence of inventory, nor controls which verified the completeness and accuracy of accrued liabilities. Each of these material weaknesses resulted in immaterial adjustments within the year ended December 31, 2022 and the accrued liabilities material weakness resulted in immaterial adjustments within the year ended December 31, 2024, and in the interim periods ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025.
We did not design and maintain effective controls over the accounting for debt and equity arrangements, including convertible preferred stock, warrant arrangements, and stock-based compensation modifications. Each of these material weaknesses resulted in material adjustments to several account balances and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, and immaterial adjustments for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the interim period ended September 30, 2025.
We did not design and maintain effective controls over IT general controls for information systems that are relevant to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Specifically, we did not design and maintain (i) program change management controls to ensure that IT program and data changes affecting financial IT applications and underlying accounting records are identified, tested, authorized and implemented appropriately, (ii) user access controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties and that adequately restrict user and privileged access to financial applications, programs, and data to appropriate Company personnel, (iii) computer operations controls to ensure that critical batch jobs are monitored, and data backups are authorized and monitored, and (iv) testing and approval controls for program development to ensure that new software development is aligned with business and IT requirements. This material weakness did not result in any adjustments to the consolidated financial statements.
Additionally, each of the material weaknesses described above could result in a misstatement of one or more account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the interim or annual consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
Remediation Plan
We have been in the process of executing our plan to remediate the material weaknesses. The remediation measures are ongoing, and although not all inclusive, remediation measures include hiring additional accounting and financial reporting personnel and implementing additional policies, procedures and controls, all of which have and will continue to result in future costs for the Company.
We believe we have designed and implemented the internal controls necessary to remediate the material weakness related to debt and equity arrangements, including convertible preferred stock, warrant arrangements, and stock-based compensation modifications, as well as the material weakness related to the accuracy and existence of inventory. During the quarter ended March 31, 2026 we continued to operate and monitor performance of these remediation controls. In addition, during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, we began to design internal controls to address the material weakness related to accrued liabilities.
We believe we have designed and implemented the internal controls necessary to remediate the material weakness related to IT general controls for information systems that are relevant to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, including internal controls over the segregation of duties related to journal entries. During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, we continued to operate and monitor performance of the related remediation controls.
The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until our remediation plan has been completed, the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time, and we have concluded, through testing, that the newly implemented and enhanced controls are operating effectively. As we continue to make progress towards remediation of these material weaknesses, we may determine the need to make further enhancements to the design of these controls.
Notwithstanding the above, our management believes that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report state fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
As described in the “Remediation Plan” above, there were changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
