Item 1A. Risk Factors
ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS
 
Except as stated below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
We identified material a weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, and we may identify additional material weaknesses in the future that may cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations or result in material misstatements of our financial statements. If we fail to remediate any material weaknesses or if we otherwise fail to establish and maintain effective control over financial reporting, our ability to accurately and timely report our financial results could be adversely affected.
 
As discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q/A, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the classification of certain cash transactions made during the six months ended June 30, 2023 associated with the payment of construction retainage liabilities incurred during the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022.
 
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. With oversight from the Audit Committee and input from management, in order to remediate the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to the ineffective operation of controls related to manual adjustments to the statement of cash flows, the Company has begun designing and implementing changes in processes and controls to remediate the material weakness described above and to enhance our internal control over financial reporting, including a control to review non-standard manual adjustments to the statement of cash flows in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. 
 
As a result of the material weakness described above and other related matters that may arise in future periods, we face potential for adverse regulatory consequences, including investigations, penalties or suspensions by the SEC or NYSE American, litigation or other disputes which may include, among others, claims invoking the federal and state securities laws, contractual claims or other claims arising from the restatement and material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting and the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. As of the date of this filing, we have no knowledge of any such regulatory consequences, litigation, claim or dispute. However, we can provide no assurance that such regulatory consequences, litigation, claim or dispute will not arise in the future. Any such regulatory consequences, litigation, claim or dispute, whether successful or not, could subject us to additional costs, divert the attention of our management, or impair our reputation. Each of these consequences could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
We may identify future material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting or fail to meet the demands that will be placed upon us as a public company, including the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and we may be unable to accurately report our financial results, or report them within the timeframes required by law or stock exchange regulations. We cannot assure that our existing material weakness will be remediated or that additional material weaknesses will not exist or otherwise be discovered, any of which could adversely affect our reputation, financial condition, and results of operations.
