ITEM 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) or our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of the controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control 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. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error and mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of controls and procedures to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls and procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the controls and procedures may have deteriorated.
In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Remediation of Previously Reported Material Weakness
We previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024, a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2023, related to ineffectively designed general information technology controls over user access for an IT application used to initiate revenue and inventory transactions. As a result, process-level automated controls and manual controls that are dependent on the completeness and accuracy of information derived from the affected IT application were also ineffective.
Throughout the year ended December 31, 2024, our management executed upon its previously disclosed remediation plan, which included: (i) a comprehensive review of user access and levels across all software platforms, (ii) updating software as appropriate, (iii) updating and confirming appropriate user access levels, (iv) enhancing and revising the design of existing information technology controls and procedures, and (v) adding additional controls and processes as necessary to support internal controls over financial reporting. Our management completed testing of the implemented controls during the quarter ended December 31, 2024, and found them to be operating effectively. As a result, management has concluded that the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting has been remediated as of December 31, 2024.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have set forth management's report on internal control over financial reporting and the attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Management's report on internal control over financial reporting is incorporated in this Item 9A by reference.
During the first quarter of 2024, we completed the Bluegreen Acquisition, which was accounted for as a business combination. In accordance with the SEC’s published guidance, because we acquired these operations during the year, we excluded these operations from our efforts to comply with Section 404 with respect to 2024. The acquired operations of Bluegreen Vacations Holding Corporation constituted approximately 26.0% of total assets as of December 31, 2024 and 19.8% and 15.4% of revenues and income before income taxes, respectively, for the year then ended. The SEC’s published
128
Table of Contents
guidance specifies that the period in which management may omit an assessment of an acquired business’s internal control over financial reporting from its assessment of the Company’s internal control may not extend beyond one year from the date of acquisition.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than changes made to integrate the Bluegreen acquisition into our controls over financial reporting, there were no other changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
