Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosures controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2024 due to the existence of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, as described below, which continues to exist as of June 30, 2024. Notwithstanding the material weakness described below, management believes the condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods covered by and included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

As previously reported in our Prospectus, in connection with its audit of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, our independent registered public accounting firm identified a material weakness in 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 consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The identified material weakness arises from our failure to timely complete our risk assessment and design, implement and/or effectively operate controls for a sufficient period of time.

We have implemented measures and are actively engaged in remediation efforts to address this material weakness, including the hiring of additional internal resources and the engagement of third-party specialists. Designing and implementing an effective system of internal control over financial reporting is a continuous effort that requires significant resources, including the expenditure of a significant amount of time by senior members of our management team. We will be required to document and test our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, so that our management can certify as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting beginning with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2025. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the relevant controls are designed, implemented, and operate for a sufficient period of time, and management has tested and concluded that these controls are operating effectively.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than remediation efforts described above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act).
