−Removed: of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
−Removed: Graber, who serves as our Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, and Sebastian Lux, who serves as our Co-Chief Executive
−Removed: Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Principal Financial Officer (collectively referred to herein as “ Senior Management ”),
−Removed: evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2023.
−Removed: The term “disclosure controls and procedures,”
−Removed: as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that
−Removed: information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
−Removed: summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
−Removed: Senior Management recognizes that any
−Removed: controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives
−Removed: and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
−Removed: on its evaluation, Senior Management concluded as of March 31, 2023 that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because
−Removed: of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, described below in Management’s Report on Internal Control
−Removed: Over Financial Reporting.
−Removed: Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses, Senior Management believes the consolidated financial statements
−Removed: included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly represent in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations
−Removed: and cash flows at and for the periods presented in accordance with U.S.
−Removed: Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
−Removed: Management, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined
−Removed: in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.
−Removed: An evaluation was performed of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over
−Removed: financial reporting.
−Removed: The evaluation was based on the framework in 2013 Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee
−Removed: of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).
−Removed: of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
−Removed: Also, projections of
−Removed: any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions,
−Removed: or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
−Removed: its evaluation under the criteria set forth in 2013 Internal Control — Integrated Framework, Senior Management concluded that,
−Removed: as of March 31, 2023 our internal control over financial reporting was not effective because of the identification of material weaknesses
−Removed: described as follows:
−Removed: did not have controls designed to validate the completeness and accuracy of underlying data
−Removed: used in the determination of accounting transactions.
−Removed: Accordingly, we believe we have a material
−Removed: weakness because there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to the interim
−Removed: or annual consolidated financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely
−Removed: do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures.
−Removed: documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section
−Removed: 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act which is applicable to us.
−Removed: Management evaluated the impact
−Removed: of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our
−Removed: assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency
−Removed: that resulted represented a material weakness.
−Removed: do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic
−Removed: internal control.
−Removed: Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not
−Removed: always be possible and may not be economically feasible.
−Removed: However, to the extent possible,
−Removed: the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should
−Removed: be performed by separate individuals.
−Removed: Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have
−Removed: segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has
−Removed: concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
−Removed: have an inadequate number of personnel with requisite expertise in the key functional areas
−Removed: of finance and accounting.
−Removed: do not have a functioning audit committee, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment
−Removed: and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures.
−Removed: Plan for Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
−Removed: Management of the Company is committed to improving its internal controls and will (i) continue to use third party specialists to address
−Removed: shortfalls in staffing and to assist the Company with accounting and finance responsibilities;
−Removed: (ii) increase the frequency of independent
−Removed: reconciliations of significant accounts which will mitigate the lack of segregation of duties until there are sufficient personnel;
−Removed: seek to add a full-time Chief Financial Officer to replace Mr.
−Removed: Lux when the Company has adequate financial resources;
−Removed: and, (iv) is currently
−Removed: considering appointing audit committee members in the future.
−Removed: Management has discussed the material weaknesses noted above with our independent registered public accounting firm.
−Removed: Due to the nature
−Removed: of these material weaknesses, it is reasonably possible that misstatements which could be material to the annual or interim consolidated
−Removed: financial statements could occur that would not be prevented or detected during our financial close and reporting process.
−Removed: Quarterly Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
−Removed: Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to
−Removed: temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Quarterly Report.
−Removed: in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
−Removed: were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 that have materially
−Removed: affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: However, Senior Management is
−Removed: currently seeking to improve our controls and procedures in an effort to remediate the deficiencies described above.
