Neonode Inc. 10-Q

Item 4. Controls and Procedures Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2025. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2025 due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. We identified a material weakness in the design and operation of our internal controls over financial reporting in the “Control Activities” component of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations ("COSO") framework related to a lack of information technology general controls to prevent the risk of management override. Specifically, we identified system limitations that do not facilitate proper segregation of duties within multiple systems and a lack of mitigating business process level controls to address the risk of management override of controls over the preparation and review of manual journal entries and in key accounting processes. The Company has implemented user specific permission sets in the identified systems to facilitate proper segregation of duties. The Company also implemented a separate control to monitor changelogs and approvals in the ERP system. These controls have not yet been tested to verify that they are operating effectively in remediation of the material weakness. We identified another material weakness in the design and operation of our internal controls over financial reporting in the “Control Activities” component of the COSO framework related to a lack of sufficient controls to prevent the risk of material misstatements in the income tax calculations and related disclosures. The Company is planning to implement extended controls of the income tax calculations. In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting Except for the changes described to internal control above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 24 Table of Contents PART II.
