Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), has evaluated the effectiveness of our 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”), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in 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 Securities and Exchange Commission’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, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. 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 such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of March 29, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level because of the existence of the material weaknesses described below. 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 a company's annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As of March 29, 2025, the Company did not effectively design procedures and controls over the timing of cost of revenue recognition. This resulted in the acceleration of the recognition of cost of revenue during the year ended September 28, 2024. Given that we recognize revenue on a percentage of completion basis, this resulted in the acceleration of recognition of revenue during the year ended September 28, 2024. Additionally, the Company did not effectively design and execute controls over revenue recognition related to cost overruns on certain deployments that will not be billable. These deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting constituted material weaknesses as of March 29, 2025.

Notwithstanding the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have concluded that our consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of our operations and our cash flows for the periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in conformity with U.S. GAAP. There can be no assurance that these material weaknesses will not result in a misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements for future periods that would not be prevented or detected.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Subject to the steps taken in connection with the remediation plan noted below, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting for the three months ended March 29, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Material Weakness Remediation Plan

Management has developed a remediation plan, which it began implementing as of the end of fiscal year 2024, that includes the following elements:

Augmented compensating controls over the receipt of goods and services, with a focus on milestone related expenses;

Implemented ERP system enhancements for goods and services receipts and enhanced documentation requirements for milestone related expenses;

Training of the employees and redesign of the structure of the organization receiving goods and services; and

Implemented compensating controls over revenue recognition for non-billable cost overruns.

Management is committed to the completion of the remediation of these material weaknesses, and, as of February 5, 2025, had implemented all of the controls described above. These controls were tested in connection with management’s evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 29, 2025. No deficiencies were noted as part of that testing. We will continue to test these controls, including in connection with management’s evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of our current fiscal year. As management continues to evaluate and work to improve its internal control over financial reporting, it may determine that additional measures to address control deficiencies or modifications to the remediation plan are necessary. Therefore, management cannot assure you when these material weaknesses will be remediated, that additional actions will not be required to remediate these material weaknesses, or the costs of any such additional actions. These material weaknesses will not be determined to be remediated until the remediated controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through further testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
