+Added: Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
+Added: material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a
+Added: reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented
+Added: or detected on a timely basis.

+Added: internal control over financial reporting did not identify an error in the classification of the public and sponsor warrants issued in
+Added: connection with our IPO and through a simultaneous private placement, which we determined to be a material weakness.
+Added: This error in classification

+Added: in the past that continue to impact the Company to ensure those conclusions reached are still appropriate.
+Added: Our plans include increased
+Added: communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding the application of complex accounting
+Added: transactions.
