Item 4 . Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on their evaluation as of January 31, 2025 , our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13 a- 15 (e) and 15 d- 15 (e) under the Exchange Act) were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
On June 10, 2024, we completed the Transactions with Barnes & Noble Education which were accounted for as a business combination. We are currently in the process of assessing Barnes & Noble Education’s internal controls over financial reporting and integrating Barnes & Noble Education with our existing controls over financial reporting. Under guidelines established by the SEC, companies are permitted to exclude acquisitions from their assessment of internal control over financial reporting during the first year of an acquisition while integrating the acquired company. Other than incorporating Barnes & Noble Education’s controls, there were no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended January 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. 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. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of 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 Immersion, have been detected.
