The Company will file amendments (Form 10-Q/A and Form 10-K/A) to supersede the prior reports.
Internal Controls and Risks
The Company identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2023, September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2023. Consequently, disclosure controls and procedures were deemed ineffective for these periods. A remediation plan will be detailed in the upcoming amended filings. The matter was discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm, RSM US LLP.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the upcoming Form 10-Q/A and Form 10-K/A filings for the corrected cash flow statements.
- Review the detailed remediation plan for the material weakness in internal controls once disclosed in the amended reports.
- Confirm that the restatement does not alter the Company's reported net income, total assets, or total liabilities.
