ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Annual Report on Form 10-K, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the current chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our current chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our “Certifying Officers”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2024, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2024, with regard to the material weaknesses described below.
We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Exchange Act. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed and operated, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even systems or system components which are deemed to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Our management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that assessment, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2024, with regard to the material weaknesses, which is described below.
Under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, 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 our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. During the audit of our financial statements, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, we and our independent registered public accounting firm identified a material weakness, which are described below.
Material Weaknesses : We have identified two material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which we are in the process of, and are focused on, remediating. The material weaknesses are related to the accounting for complex transactions within our financial statement closing and reporting process, and maintaining and monitoring user access to certain IT systems contributing to our financial reporting. While we remediated substantial parts of these pre-existing material weaknesses throughout the year, we concluded that we may be exposed to the risk of material misstatement in our financial reports by a deficiency in our precision of the review of the inputs provided by external technical accounting experts, as well as the assignment and monitoring of user access in some of our IT applications.
Remediation Plan : We have already begun the process of, and are focused on, increasing the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and remediating the material weakness, including:
• improving the workflow for complex accounting transactions to include multiple levels of review and increase the time available to thoroughly evaluate the application of GAAP and improve the precision of review of assumptions made within third party accounting experts’ work product and

• hiring a Director of Technical Accounting and Reporting in December 2024 to augment and improve our review of third-party accounting advice.
• restricting privileged access in our general ledger and account reconciliation applications to ensure the strict enforcement of workflows following the four-eyes principle, and
• designing controls to closely monitor the way in which remaining privileged access to financially relevant IT applications is exercised by those who hold it.
While these ongoing and planned actions are subject to constant management evaluation and will require validation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over a sustained period of financial reporting cycles, we are committed to the improvement of our internal control over financial reporting and will continue to diligently review our internal control over financial reporting.
Although we plan to complete this remediation process as quickly as possible, we are unable, at this time, to estimate how long it will take, and our efforts may not be successful in remediating the identified material weaknesses. In addition, even if we are successful in strengthening our controls and procedures, we can give no assurances that in the future such controls and procedures will be adequate to prevent or identify errors or irregularities or to facilitate the fair preparation and presentation of our Consolidated Financial Statements.
