Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain “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”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, 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.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2023. Based upon the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level, due to the material weaknesses identified below.

However, after giving full consideration to the material weaknesses described below, and the additional analyses and other procedures we performed to ensure that our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K 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’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on the results of this evaluation, the Company’s management concluded that internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2023, due to the material weaknesses listed below. 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 the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, has audited the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, as stated in their report, which appears herein.

We have concluded that the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that were previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, have not been remediated as of December 31, 2023:

•We have identified a material weakness due to a deficiency in one of the principles associated with the Control Environment component of the COSO framework, specifically relating to a lack of a sufficient complement of qualified personnel at the appropriate levels to perform control activities in support of preparing the financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

•Control Activities – STI. We did not design, implement, and monitor general information technology controls in the areas of program change management, user access, and segregation of duties for systems supporting substantially all of STI’s internal control processes and we did not design and implement formal accounting policies, procedures, and controls across substantially all of the STI’s business processes to achieve timely, complete, accurate financial accounting, reporting, and disclosures.

Remediation Plan for Existing Material Weaknesses

Management has been actively engaged in remediation efforts to address the material weaknesses throughout 2023, and these efforts will continue into 2024. We have made enhancements to our control environment by improving guidance, communication of expectations and importance of internal controls. We made progress towards addressing our material weakness in our lack of qualified personnel by hiring additional qualified accounting and finance personnel during 2023, which has helped to provide additional capacity and expertise to enhance our accounting and reporting review procedures. Specifically, in the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company hired a new Chief Financial Officer and additional qualified accounting resources, who are currently assessing if additional personnel should be hired at STI in connection with the planned system implementation, and elsewhere in the organization, in order to perform control activities in support of preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We expect that this assessment will be completed during the first quarter of 2024, with appropriate action taken during 2024, to ensure that the Company has a sufficient complement of qualified personnel at the right levels, based on any identified gaps in personnel requirements.

Due to accounting system limitations at STI, management is limited in its ability to effectively design and implement general information technology controls at STI, which support the underlying business cycle controls. The accounting system was in place when the Company acquired STI, and management is planning on implementing a new accounting system in the first half of 2024. The new system will allow management to effectively design and implement appropriate general information technology controls including system enforced segregation of duties. Management is currently assessing the process level risks at STI, designing controls based upon the planned accounting system. In addition, with the assistance of an outside consulting firm, we are in the process of formalizing our STI accounting and business operation policies and procedures, in advance of this system implementation.

Remediation of Previously Identified Material Weaknesses

The following entity level material weaknesses were previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022:

•Control Environment, Risk Assessment and Monitoring Activities – We did not maintain appropriately designed entity-level controls impacting the control environment and effective monitoring controls to prevent or detect material misstatements to the consolidated financial statements. These deficiencies were attributed to (i) a lack of a sufficient number of qualified resources and inadequate oversight and accountability over the performance of control activities, (ii) ineffective identification and assessment of risks to properly design and implement relevant controls, and (iii) ineffective evaluation and determination as to whether the components of internal control were present and functioning.

We have concluded that with the exception of a lack sufficient number of qualified personnel as discussed above, that these material weaknesses have been remediated. Specifically, management, with the assistance of an outside consulting firm, implemented a process level risk assessment for all material classes of transactions, identified and designed relevant controls to mitigate the identified risks of material misstatement, and tested the design, implementation, and operating effectiveness of those controls.

As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, we also identified material weaknesses related to Control Activities. With the exception of the STI related material weakness above we have completed our remediation efforts previously identified in Item 9A “Controls and Procedures” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Based on our testing of the design and operating effectiveness of the enhanced internal controls, we have concluded that the following material weaknesses related to Control Activities that existed as of December 31, 2022, exclusive of STI, have been remediated:

•Inventory

•Revenue Recognition

•Accounts Receivable

•Financial Reporting, Consolidation and Business Combination

•Foreign Currency.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended December 31, 2023, except for the changes discussed above, there have been no other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
