Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer and principal financial officer) and the Company’s Vice President of Finance (principal accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of December 31, 2021, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and the principal accounting officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2021 were effective.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Vice President of Finance, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. In conducting its evaluation, our management used the criteria set forth by the framework in the 2013 Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, management believes our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2021.
Implemented Remedial Actions in Response to Material Weakness
In connection with management’s evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, and as disclosed in our Form 10-K/A filed on August 23, 2021, management identified a material weakness because the Company did not have adequate internal controls to address the risk of not collecting and remitting sales tax that was due on sales of certain of our products and services to certain of our customers. Consequently, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2020 due to the material weakness.
To address the material weakness, we designed, implemented and tested new review controls to appropriately address the risk of not collecting and remitting sales tax that was due. These new review controls included review of taxability of new products and services and obtaining of appropriate documentation of exempt status from customers. Our management determined the foregoing material weakness to be remediated as of December 31, 2021.

Inherent Limitations on Control Systems
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, will be or have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Except as noted above, no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
