MARIMED INC. 10-Q

Item 4. Controls and Procedures Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures The Company’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of September 30, 2022 (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act (i) are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) are accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Over the past several years, the Company implemented significant measures to remediate past instances of ineffectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, The remediation measures consisted of the hiring of a new CFO, the engagement of accounting consultants as needed to provide expertise on specific areas of the accounting guidance, the hiring of individuals with appropriate experience in internal controls over financial reporting, and the modification to the Company’s accounting processes and enhancement to the Company’s financial control. Further, the Company expanded its board of directors to include a majority of independent disinterested directors; established an audit, compensation, and corporate governance committee of the board of directors; and adopted a formal policy with respect to related party transactions. Other than as described above, there was no change to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
