Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our management carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2024 because of the identification of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting with respect to the use by the Company of funds withdrawn for the payment of franchise tax and income tax liabilities for the payment of general corporate expenses, failure of the Company to timely receive Audit Committee of the Board of Directors approval for of related party transactions, failure to timely and properly document certain related party financing transactions and insufficient personnel in its accounting and finance reporting group.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the three months ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, other than enhancing controls to ensure the Company has oversight of the cash availability for operating needs, including more clearly designating in the Company’s internal books and records the cash that is restricted in its use, and requiring management to report to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors any related party transactions that are above $10,000 and any working capital transactions that would lower the Company’s working capital account to lower than its immediate tax obligations.
