ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were not effective as of June 30, 2024 due to the material weakness described below. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We did not maintain an effective control environment over the internal control activities to ensure the proper recognition and measurement related to the accounting for complex and non-routine transactions. We did not have adequate supervision and review controls over the complex accounting related to the non-cash impairment of intangibles, non-cash equity transactions and the recoverability of inventory. As a result, management review of asset impairment calculations did not identify errors in the associated cash flow projections which lead to an error in the conclusion of the initial impairment assessment. We also did not properly assess the realizability of inventory based upon the projections utilized and our assessment of an amendment to existing warrants that were reclassified into equity in the same period did not include a quantitative evaluation of the potential materiality of revaluation adjustments. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 50 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
