XTI Aerospace, Inc. 10-Q

Item 4. Controls and Procedures Disclosure Controls and Procedures Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Internal controls are procedures which are designed with the objective of providing reasonable assurance that (1) our transactions are properly authorized, recorded and reported; and (2) our assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use, to permit the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. In connection with the preparation of this Form 10-Q, management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Changes in Internal Controls Remediation Measures In connection with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, we reported a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting resulting from the determination following initial audit procedures that the documentation underlying the preparation of forward projections, which included copies of customer contracts underlying the basis of projecting revenues and support for the projected cost structures associated with determining the fair value of the Sysorex note as of December 31, 2019, was not supportable thereby requiring material adjustments to be made to the carrying value of the note as determined by management as of December 31, 2019. To address the material weakness, during February 2020, we have enhanced our internal technical accounting capabilities by engaging and using third-party advisors to assist in areas requiring specialized technical accounting expertise, including with respect to designing the procedures and processes associated with assessing the fair value of our equity and debt instruments. While we believe that these actions will be sufficient to remediate the material weakness, it will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. We expect that the remediation of this material weakness will be completed by the end of second quarter 2020. Except as described above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s management determined there were no material changes needed to internal controls as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Limitations of the Effectiveness of Control A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations of any control system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. 51 PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
