Item 4. Controls and Procedures Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our management, with the participation of our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level. Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting On January 4, 2021, we expanded our enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system to replace certain applications, including our general ledger. As a result, we had enhanced certain existing, and added other, internal controls to align to the system. We have not made any changes during the three months ended September 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or reasonably affect, our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). 56 Table of Contents PART II.
