Management Commentary, Risks, and Contingencies
Management confirmed there were no disagreements with Marcum LLP regarding accounting principles, practices, or audit scope during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, or the interim period through April 29, 2025. The only "reportable events" identified were material weaknesses in the Company's internal control over financial reporting. These weaknesses, previously disclosed in the Form 10-K filed on April 15, 2025, stem from a lack of segregation of duties, issues within the control environment, and insufficient size and nature of cybersecurity staffing. Marcum LLP has provided a letter to the SEC agreeing with the Company's statements regarding the resignation.
