Controls and Procedures
−Removed: Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
−Removed: We maintain “disclosure controls and
−Removed: procedures,”
−Removed: as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information
−Removed: required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized
−Removed: and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
−Removed: Disclosure controls and procedures include,
−Removed: without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports
−Removed: that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its
−Removed: principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
−Removed: management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness
−Removed: of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2020.
−Removed: Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures
−Removed: as of September 30, 2020, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date our disclosure
−Removed: controls were not effective due to the material weaknesses as disclosed in our annual report on form 10-K for the year ended December
−Removed: 31, 2019 and in our Amendment No.
−Removed: 1 of Form 10-Q/A for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020.
−Removed: A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination
−Removed: of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
−Removed: of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
−Removed: The material weakness previously identified
−Removed: during management’s assessment and reported in our 2019 Form 10-K was the lack of sufficient technical expertise on certain
−Removed: accounting and tax requirements for new and unusual transactions.
−Removed: These control deficiencies could result in a material misstatement
−Removed: of accounts or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual financial statements that would
−Removed: not be prevented or detected.
−Removed: In connection with the identification of an
−Removed: error that resulted in the restatement described in Note 3 of our condensed consolidated financial statements included in our Quarterly
−Removed: Report on Form 10-Q/A for the period ended June 30, 2020, we also identified a material weakness related to controls over the purchasing
−Removed: and receiving of inventory.
−Removed: Specifically, there was a lack of formalized purchasing and receiving processes and controls and the
−Removed: functions were decentralized.
−Removed: To address the material weakness reported in
−Removed: our 2019 Form 10-K, we have hired an additional employee in our accounting team and have increased the involvement of consultants
−Removed: with the required expertise to help ensure new and unusual transactions are appropriately recorded in order to remediate the material
−Removed: We believe that these actions will help remediate the previously identified material weakness.
−Removed: To address the material
−Removed: weakness reported in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the period ended June 30, 2020, we have centralized the purchasing
−Removed: and receiving functions and have added new processes and controls to ensure purchasing and receiving are recorded completely and
−Removed: Additionally, the Company is implementing a new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system, which will
−Removed: enable us to further enhance the processes and controls related to inventory, including purchasing and receiving.
−Removed: We have implemented
−Removed: additional control procedures to address the material weaknesses and we believe these actions will help remediate the previously
−Removed: identified material weaknesses.
−Removed: The weaknesses, however, will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate
−Removed: for a sufficient period of time and management is able to conclude that these controls are operating effectively.
−Removed: Changes in Internal Control over Financial
−Removed: Other than the efforts noted above to remediate
−Removed: the previously reported material weaknesses, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during
−Removed: the quarter ended September 30, 2020, that has materially affected or, are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
−Removed: control over financial reporting.
