CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
−Removed: of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
−Removed: As of the end of the period
−Removed: covered by this report, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”)
−Removed: and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO” and together with the CEO, the “Certifying Officers”), we evaluated the effectiveness
−Removed: of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities
−Removed: Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)).
−Removed: Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures
−Removed: designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
−Removed: summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
−Removed: Disclosure controls and procedures include,
−Removed: without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted
−Removed: under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Certifying Officers, or persons performing similar
−Removed: functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
−Removed: Based upon this evaluation,
−Removed: and the above criteria, our Certifying Officers concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective
−Removed: as of September 30, 2023, at the reasonable assurance level due to a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting,
−Removed: described below, relating to errors in our accounting for warranty reserves.
−Removed: in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting.
−Removed: Our internal control over
−Removed: financial reporting did not identify an error in the accounting of our warranty reserves, relating to wholesale contracts.
−Removed: our CEO and CFO have concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, due to a material weakness
−Removed: in our internal control over financial reporting, described below, related to errors in our accounting for warranty reserves.
−Removed: In October 2023, we determined that we had not properly accounted for
−Removed: the warranty terms specified in contracts with our wholesale customers when estimating the liability for warranty related returns.
−Removed: As a result, our warranty reserves relating to wholesale customers were understated.
−Removed: We determined the impact of this error on our previously
−Removed: issued financial statements was immaterial, but that the cumulative effect would be material, if left uncorrected, in the current period.
−Removed: Therefore, we elected to correct these errors in our financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ending September 30,
−Removed: 2023 included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q by adjusting prior period financial statements.
−Removed: In response to this material
−Removed: weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to the accounting of our warranty reserves, we will implement a new control
−Removed: to assess all wholesale customer contracts to ensure the terms contained therein are accounted for properly.
−Removed: Our plans include increased
−Removed: training and communication among our personnel regarding the appropriate consideration and application of contractual terms, including
−Removed: legal to review all significant contracts and implementing new processes over credit memo approvals.
−Removed: Our remediation plan can only be
−Removed: accomplished over time and will be continually reviewed to determine that it is achieving its objectives.
−Removed: We can offer no assurance that
−Removed: these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.
−Removed: Other than as described above
−Removed: relating to the material weakness we identified, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter
−Removed: ended September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
+Added: (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
+Added: Under the supervision and
+Added: with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”
+Added: and together with the CEO, the “Certifying Officers”), we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
+Added: controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act).
+Added: Our disclosure controls and procedures are
+Added: designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange
+Added: Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
+Added: of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
+Added: Therefore, even those
+Added: systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
+Added: Disclosure controls and
+Added: procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports
+Added: filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Certifying Officers, or persons
+Added: performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
+Added: Based upon this evaluation, and the above criteria, our Certifying
+Added: Officers concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2024, due to the material
+Added: weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, described below.
+Added: Previously Reported Material Weakness
+Added: As previously reported, we
+Added: identified a material weakness related to the review and evaluation of wholesale customer contracts, specifically as it relates to variable
+Added: consideration, including wholesale warranty obligations.
+Added: Specifically, we did not design and maintain effective controls over the review
+Added: and evaluation of the accounting relating to contract terms agreed upon with our wholesale customers and the identification and calculation
+Added: of the related wholesale accrued warranty liabilities.
+Added: Plans for Remediation of Material Weakness
+Added: In response to the material
+Added: weakness, we have designed and implemented a control over the review of all wholesale customer contracts to ensure the terms contained
+Added: therein are appropriately evaluated and recorded.
+Added: This control includes increased rigor and participation among our legal and accounting
+Added: personnel regarding the appropriate consideration and application of contractual terms.
+Added: We are also implementing a new control over credit
+Added: memo review and approval.
+Added: Further, we are implementing a new control over the evaluation and review of accrued wholesale warranty liabilities.
+Added: The Company will not be able to fully remediate this material weakness until these steps have been completed and have been operating effectively
+Added: for a sufficient period of time.
+Added: The Company may also identify additional measures that may be required to remediate the material weakness
+Added: in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, necessitating further action.
+Added: (b) Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial
+Added: Other than the remediation efforts described above, there were no changes
+Added: in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably
