Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As required by Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report (“Evaluation Date”), pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to material weaknesses described in our report on internal control over financial reporting below.
Notwithstanding the existence of the material weaknesses, we believe that the consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present in accordance with U.S. GAAP, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in this Annual Report.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all controls systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving its objectives.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our principal executive officer and our principal accounting and financial officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. In making this assessment, management used the criteria described in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based upon such assessment and due to the existence of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below, our principal executive officer and our principal accounting and and financial officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective.
● Our written policies and procedures over accounting transaction processing and period end financial close and reporting are limited which has resulted in ineffective oversight in the establishment of proper monitoring controls over accounting and financial reporting.
● We lacked sufficient review of certain financial transactions, such that a proper review had not been performed by someone other than preparer, and that process documentation is lacking for review and monitoring controls over accounting and financial reporting.

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
We acquired FrontRow on December 31, 2021. Since the date of the acquisition, we have been assessing FrontRows’s internal control over financial reporting to determine their effectiveness and to make controls and procedures consistent across all consolidated entities. We have made changes to procedures and controls and expect to make additional changes in the future. Prior to acquisition, FrontRow was not required to document and assess internal control over financial reporting as required under the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). As permitted by guidance issued by the staff of the SEC, FrontRow has been excluded from the scope of our report on internal control over financial reporting.
In light of the material weakness described above, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure our financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, we believe that the consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present in accordance with U.S. GAAP, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in this Annual Report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During 2021, management engaged professional services firms to assist with the preparation of the review of the income tax provision. Management also engaged third-party professional service firms to prepare FrontRow financial statements and value warrant issued in connection with Whitehawk credit facility. There were no additional changes made in the internal controls over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2021, that have materially affected, our internal control over financial reporting.

Based on Mr. Elliott’s position as the chief executive officer of both the Company and Genesis, and his executive level experience in interactive learning devices and computer technology industries, our board of directors believes that Mr. Elliott has the appropriate set of skills to serve as a member of our board of directors.

K-12 market and his long track record as a successful entrepreneur makes him ideally suited to and valued as a member of our board of directors.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships between any of our directors or executive officers.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
No executive officer or director is a party in a legal proceeding adverse to us or any of our subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to us or any of our subsidiaries. No executive officer or director has been involved in the last ten years in any of the following:
●
Any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business or property of such person, or of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;
●
Any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);
●
Being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities;
●
Being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated;
●
Being the subject of or a party to any judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated relating to an alleged violation of any federal or state securities or commodities law or regulation, or any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies, including but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order, or any law or regulation prohibiting mail, fraud, wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or
●
Being the subject of or a party to any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Exchange Act, any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member.
Board of Directors
All directors hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. Directors are elected at the annual meetings to serve for one-year terms. Officers are elected by, and serve at the discretion of, the board of directors. Our board of directors shall hold meetings on at least a quarterly basis.
Director Independence
As of the date of this Annual Report, Dr. Rudy Crew and Messrs. Dale Strang, Charles P. Amos and R. Wayne Jackson are our independent directors. As a Nasdaq listed company, we believe that the foregoing directors satisfy the definition of “Independent Director” under Nasdaq Rule 5605(a)(2). In making this determination, our board of directors considered the relationships that each of these non-employee directors has with us and all other facts and circumstances our board of directors deemed relevant in determining their independence. As required under applicable NASDAQ rules, we anticipate that our independent directors will meet on a regular basis as often as necessary to fulfill their responsibilities, including at least annually in executive session without the presence of non-independent directors and management.

Table of Contents
Board Committees
Our board of directors has established standing committees in connection with the discharge of its responsibilities. These committees include an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Our board of directors has adopted written charters for each of these committees. Copies of the charters are available on our website at www.boxlightcorp.com. Our board of directors may establish other committees as it deems necessary or appropriate from time to time.
Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight
Mr. Pope holds the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of the Company. The Board believes that Mr. Pope’s services as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. Mr. Pope possesses detailed and in-depth knowledge of the issues, opportunities and challenges facing us in our business and is thus best positioned to develop agendas that ensure that the Board’s time and attention are focused on the most critical matters relating to the business. His combined role enables decisive leadership, ensures clear accountability, and enhances the Company’s ability to communicate its message and strategy clearly and consistently to our shareholders, employees and customers.
The board has not designated a lead independent director. The independent directors can call and plan their executive sessions collaboratively and, between meetings of the board, communicate with management and one another directly. Under these circumstances, the directors believe designating a lead independent director to take on responsibility for functions in which they all currently participate might detract from rather than enhance performance of their responsibilities as directors.
Corporate Governance
Audit Committee
According to its charter, the Audit Committee is to consist of at least three members, each of whom shall be a non-employee director who has been determined by the Board to meet the independence requirements under Nasdaq rules, and also Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the SEC, subject to the exemptions provided in Rule 10A-3(c). A copy of our Audit Committee Charter is located under the “Corporate Governance” tab on our website at www.boxlight.com. At present, the Audit Committee members consist of Mr. Jackson, Mr. Strang and Dr. Crew. All members of the Audit Committee are independent directors. The Audit Committee will assist the Board by overseeing the performance of the independent auditors and the quality and integrity of our internal accounting, auditing and financial reporting practices. The Audit Committee is responsible for retaining (subject to stockholder ratification) and, as necessary, terminating the engagement of, the independent auditors, annually reviewing the qualifications, performance and independence of the independent auditors and the audit plan, fees and audit results, and pre-approving audit and non-audit services to be performed by the auditors and related fees. Our Board had previously determined Mr. Jackson meets the requirements of being an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined by the rules and regulations of the SEC, and, as a result, he serves as Chair of the Audit Committee.
Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee members are Mr. Strang, Mr. Jackson and Dr. Crew, with Mr. Strang serving as Chair of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee makes recommendations to the board concerning salaries and incentive compensation for our officers, including our principal executive officer, and employees and administers our stock option plans. A copy of our Compensation Committee Charter is located under the “Corporate Governance” tab on our website at www.boxlight.com.
Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee
The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee members are Mr. Amos, Dr. Crew and Mr. Strang, with Mr. Amos serving as Chair of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. All members of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee are independent directors. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee assists the board in identifying qualified individuals to become board members, in determining the composition of the board and in monitoring the
54
Table of Contents
process to assess Board effectiveness. A copy of our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee Charter is located under the “Corporate Governance” tab on our website at www.boxlight.com.
Material Changes to the Procedures by which Security Holders May Recommend Nominees to the Board
We do not currently have a procedure by which security holders may recommend nominees to the board. Prior to the listing of our common stock on Nasdaq, as a private company with a limited shareholder base, we did not believe that it was important to provide such a procedure. However, we may consider implementing such a policy at some time in the future.
Director Qualifications
The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the Company’s business consistent with their fiduciary duty to the stockholders. This significant responsibility requires highly skilled individuals with various qualities, attributes and professional experience. There are general requirements for service on the Board that are applicable to directors and there are other skills and experience that should be represented on the Board as a whole but not necessarily by each director. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee considers the qualifications of director candidates individually and in the broader context of the Board’s overall composition and the Company’s current and future needs.
In its assessment of each potential candidate, including those recommended by the stockholders, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will consider the nominee’s judgment, integrity, experience, independence, understanding of the Company’s business or other related industries and such other factors it determines are pertinent in light of the current needs of the board. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee also takes into account the ability of a director to devote the time and effort necessary to fulfill his or her responsibilities to the Company, evaluate the business experience, specialized skills and experience of director candidates. Diversity of background including diversity of race, ethnicity, international background, gender and age may be considered by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee when evaluating candidates for Board membership.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
We have adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics that applies to our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. A copy of the code will be made available on the Corporate Governance section of our website, which is located at www.boxlight.com. If we make any substantive amendments to, or grant any waivers from, the code of business conduct and ethics for any officer or director, we will disclose the nature of such amendment or waiver on our website or in a current report on Form 8-K.
SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, to file reports regarding ownership of, and transactions in, our securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to provide us with copies of those filings. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms furnished to us and written representations by our officers and directors regarding their compliance with applicable reporting
55
Table of Contents
requirements under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, we believe that all Section 16(a) filing requirements for our executive officers, directors and 10% stockholders were met during the year ended December 31, 2021, except for the following:
