−Removed: Remediated Material Weakness
−Removed: As previously disclosed, the Company became aware that the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2023 contained material misstatements related to unrecorded reinstatement premium as more fully described in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements of the 10-Q/A filed with the SEC on November 14, 2023.
−Removed: Management of the Company concluded that because the controls to evaluate the accounting and disclosure of the reinstatement premium did not operate effectively, and resulted in the failure to detect the misstatement, the deficiencies were a material weakness in the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
−Removed: Remedial Actions Implementation
−Removed: To remediate the material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company implemented a remediation plan that included:
−Removed: (i) additional review procedures within our
−Removed: accounting department, (ii) additional training of accounting personnel and (iii) enhancing our existing process and internal control documentation and financial statement preparation process, specifically including updates to accounting policies for reinstatement premium, to ensure completion of financial reporting and proper accounting in accordance with U.S.
−Removed: The implementation of these procedures and controls have remediated the material weakness as of December 31, 2023.
