Operating segments may be aggregated only to a limited extent. The Company’s CODM, the Chief Executive Officer, reviews financial information presented on acondensed consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information about revenues for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The Company has determined that it has a single operating and reportable segment.

The consolidatedinterim financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 20222023 and for the six months ended June 30, 20222023 and 20212022 have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and notes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 20212022 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP.

2.REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

TheIn accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 (“ASC 606”), the Company recognizes revenue when it transfers control of a promised good or service to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for the good or service. The majority of the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied over timeover-time as the Company (i) sells products with no alternative use to the Company and (ii) has an enforceable right to recover costs incurred plus a reasonable profit margin for work completed to date. Under the over timeover-time revenue recognition model, revenue and gross profit are recognized over the contract period as work is performed based on actual costs incurred and an estimate of costs to complete and resulting total estimated costs at completion.

 

The Company also has contracts that are considered point in time. Under the point in time revenue recognition model, revenue is recognized when control of the components has transferred to the customer; in most cases this will be based on shipping terms.

 

Contracts with Customers and Performance Obligations

 

The majority of the Company’s revenues are from long-term contracts with the U.S. government as well military and commercial contractors. The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. For the Company, the contract under Accounting Standards Codification TopicASC 606 (“ASC 606”) is typically established upon execution of a purchase order either in accordance with a long-term customer contract or on a standalone basis.

 

To determine the proper revenue recognition for our contracts, we must evaluate whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as a single contract, and whether the combined or single contract should be accounted for as one performance obligation or more than one performance obligation. This evaluation requires significant judgment, and the decision to combine a group of contracts or to separate a contract into multiple performance obligations could change the amount of revenue and profit recorded in a period. A performance obligation is a promise within a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer in exchange for payment and is the unit of account for recognizing revenue. The Company’s performance obligations in its contracts with customers are typically the sale of each individual product contemplated in the contract or a single performance obligation representing a series of products when the contract contains multiple products that are substantially the same. The Company has elected to account for shipping performed after control over a product has transferred to a customer as fulfillment activities. When revenue is recognized in advance of incurring shipping costs, the costs related to the shipping are accrued. Shipping costs are included in costs of sales. The Company provides warranties on many of its products; however, since customers cannot purchase such warranties separately and they do not provide services beyond standard assurances, warranties are not separate performance obligations.

 

A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as the performance obligation is satisfied. For contracts with more than one performance obligation, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on its estimated standalone selling price. When standalone selling prices are not available, the transaction price is allocated using an expected cost plus margin approach as pricing for such contracts is typically negotiated on the basis of cost.

 

The contracts with the U.S. government and military contractors typically are subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation, which provides guidance on the types of costs that are allowable in establishing prices for goods and services provided under U.S. government contracts. The pricing for commercial contracts is based on the specific negotiations with each customer and any taxes imposed by governmental authorities are excluded from revenue. The transaction price is primarily comprised of fixed consideration as the customer typically pays a fixed fee for each product sold. The Company does not adjust the amount of revenue to be recognized under a customer contract for the effects of the time value of money when the timing difference between receipt of payment and transferring the good or service is less than one year.

 

The majority of the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied over time as the Company (i) sells products with no alternative use to the Company and (ii) has an enforceable right to recover costs incurred plus a reasonable profit margin for work completed to date. The Company uses the cost-to-cost input method to measure progress for its performance obligations because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer which occurs as the Company incurs costs on its contracts.


The Company generally utilizes the portfolio approach to estimate the amount of revenue to recognize for its contracts and groups contracts together that have similar characteristics. Contract gross profit margins are calculated using the estimated costs for either the individual contract or the portfolio as applicable. Significant judgment is used to determine which contracts are grouped together to form a portfolio. The portfolio approach is utilized only when the result of the accounting is not expected to be materially different than if applied to individual contracts.

 

The Company’s contracts are often modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. The Company considers contract modifications to exist when the modification either creates new or changes the existing enforceable rights and obligations. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price, and the measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates, are recognized prospectively when the remaining goods or services are distinct and on a cumulative catch-up basis when the remaining goods or services are not distinct.

 

The Company also has contracts that are considered point in time. Under the point in time revenue recognition model, revenue is recognized when control of the components has transferred to the customer; in most cases this will be based on shipping terms.


Contract Estimates

 

Certain contracts contain forms of variable consideration, such as price discounts and performance penalties. The Company generally estimates variable consideration using the most likely amount based on an assessment of all available information (i.e., historical experience, current and forecasted performance) and only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty is resolved.

 

In applying the cost-to-cost input method, the Company compares the actual costs incurred relative to the total estimated costs expected at completion to determine its progress towards satisfying its performance obligation and to calculate the corresponding amount of revenue to recognize. For any costs incurred that do not depict the Company’s performance in transferring control of goods or services to the customer, the Company excludes such costs from its input method measure of progress as the amounts are not reflected in the price of the contract. Costs that are inputs to the satisfaction of a performance obligation include labor, materials and subcontractors’ costs, other direct costs and an allocation of indirect costs.

 

Changes to the original estimates may be required during the life of the contract. Estimates are reviewed quarterly and the effect of any change in the total estimated gross margin percentagecosts expected at completion for a contract is reflected in revenue in the period the change becomes known. ASC 606 involves considerable use of estimates and judgment in determining revenues, costs and profits and in assigning the amounts to accounting periods. For instance, management must make assumptions and estimates regarding labor productivity and availability, the complexity of the work to be performed, the availability of materials, the length of time to complete the performance obligation, execution by our subcontractors, the availability and timing of funding from the customer, and overhead cost rates, among other variables. The Company continually evaluates all of the factors related to the assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent with the application of the cost-to-cost input method; however, it cannot be assured that estimates will be accurate. If estimates are not accurate, or a contract is terminated which will affect estimates at completion, the Company is required to adjust revenue in the period the change is determined.

 

When changes are required for the estimated total revenue on a contract, these changes are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis in the current period. A significant change in one or more estimates could affect the profitability of one or more of our performance obligations. If estimates of total costs to be incurred exceed estimates of total consideration the Company expects to receive, a provision for the remaining loss on the contract is recorded in the period in which the loss becomes evident.

 

Capitalized Contract Acquisition Costs and Fulfillment Costs

 

Contract acquisition costs are those incremental costs that the Company incurs to obtain a contract with a customer that it would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained. The Company does not typically incur contract acquisition costs or contract fulfillment costs that are subject to capitalization in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 340-40, “Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers.”

Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations

 

Our backlog represents the estimated transaction prices on performance obligations to our customers for which work remains to be performed. Backlog is converted into revenue in future periods as work is performed. As of June 30, 2022,2023, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations was approximately $133118.2 million. This represents the amount of revenue the Company expects to recognize in the future on contracts with unsatisfied or partially satisfied performance obligations as of June 30, 2022.2023. The Company estimates that it will recognizemajority of the Company’s performance obligations have an average duration up to approximately 30three years% of this amount in fiscal year 2022 and the remainder by 2024..

 


3.        CONTRACT ASSETS AND CONTRACT LIABILITIES

3.CONTRACT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

 

Contract assets represent revenue recognized on contracts in excess of amounts invoiced to the customers and the where the Company’s right to consideration is conditional on something other than the passage of time. Amounts may not exceed their net realizable value. Under the typical payment terms of our government as well as military contractor contracts, the customer retains a portion of the contract price until completion of the contract, as a measure of protection for the customer. Our government and military contractor contracts therefore typically result in revenue recognized in excess of billings, which we present as contract assets. Contract assets are classified as current.current assets. The Company’s contract liabilities represent customer payments received or due from the customer in excess of revenue recognized. Contract liabilities are classified as current.current liabilities.

7.INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

The Company complies with the accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share” and uses the two-class method in the calculation of earnings per share. Net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, the Company had restricted shares of common stock that were considered participating securities and unrestricted shares of common stock outstanding. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata.

 

Basic and diluted income per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstandingoutstanding. Diluted income per common share is adjusted for the incremental shares attributed to outstanding options to purchase common stock, as well as unvested RSUs. Incremental shares of 95,058 were used in the calculation of diluted income per common share in the three months ended June 30, 2022. Incremental shares of 142,587 were not used in the calculation of diluted income per common share in the three months ended March 31, 2022, as the Company was in a loss position and these shares would be considered anti-dilutive for that period. Incremental shares of 67,75366,448 were used in the calculation of diluted income per common share infor both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.2023.


For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, our income per common share was calculated as follows:

11.INCOME TAXES

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to the temporary differences between the consolidated financial statements carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company’s policy is to record estimated interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

 

The provision for income tax for the threesix months ended June 30, 20222023 and 20212022 was $6,225298,046 and $2,0787,500, respectively. The provision for income tax for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $98,789 and $6,225, respectively. The increase in the year-over-year provision for income tax is the result of the Company’s valuation allowance on its deferred tax asset being partially released at December 31, 2022, resulting in the periodic change in the deferred asset for the periods subsequent to December 31, 2022 being recorded through the Company’s statement of operations during such periods. For the three and six months ending June 30, 2022 the company’s deferred tax assets were fully offset by the valuation allowance, therefore there was only minimum state tax income expense recorded to the Company’s statement of operations during those periods.

The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $2023 is 7,50012.2 and $4,328, respectively.

%. The difference between the Company’s statutoryeffective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and its effectivethe statutory income tax rate of 21% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 is due to the estimated R&D credit, the partial release of approximately $121,000 of the Company’s valuation allowance taken on its deferred tax asset recorded during the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards.three months ending June 30, 2023, state income taxes and permanent tax differences.

Litigation Settlement Obligation and Insurance Recovery Receivable Pertaining to the Class Action Lawsuit and Shareholder Derivative Action

The attorneys’ fees for both the class action lawsuit and the shareholder derivative actions were covered and paid by our directors’ and officers’ insurance carrier, after satisfaction of our $750,000 retention. As of June 30, 2023, we had previously paid and accrued to our financial statements covered expenses totaling $750,000, and had therefore met our insurance carrier’s directors’ and officers’ retention requirement, which capped the Company’s expenses pertaining to the class action suit at $750,000. Because the Settlement Amount was transferred to counsel for plaintiff in the class action lawsuit on May 5, 2023, from the escrow account established for this purpose, we have relieved from our balance sheet, as of that date, the amounts previously owed from our directors’ and officers’ insurance carrier and to that plaintiff.

Recent Developments

 

NYSE American Delinquency Notices

On May 19, 2022,5, 2023, a settlement amount of $3,600,000, after approval by the NYSE American exchange (the “Exchange”) announced the suspensionCourt, of trading of our common stock due to non-compliance with the SEC annual and quarterly report timely filing criteria provided for in Section 1007 of the Exchange’s Company Guide (the “Company Guide”) and announced that it was initiating proceedings to delist our common stock. The Company filed a request for review of the Exchange’s determination to initiate delisting proceedings to a Committee of the Board of Directors of NYSE Regulation (the “Committee”). A hearing for this review before a Listing Qualification Panel of the Committee has been scheduled for November 9, 2022 (the “Hearing”). The delisting action has been stayed pending the outcome of the review although trading of our common stock on the Exchange remains suspended.

We have become current with our SEC reports upon the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company believes the filing of this quarterly report resolves the condition that led to NYSE American suspending trading in the Company’s common stock on the Exchange and its determination to commence proceedings to delist the common stock from the Exchange. We cannot assure you thatwhich the Company becoming current with our SEC reports or the outcome of the Hearing will resulthad paid amounts totaling $750,000 as its retention limit under its directors’ and officers’ insurance policy, was transferred to counsel for plaintiff in the Exchange changing its delisting determination or that our common stock will resume trading on the Exchange in the future.


On September 17, 2021, we received notice from the Exchange indicating that the Company does not meet the continued listing standards set forth in Part 10 of the Company Guide. The Company is not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(i) of the Company Guide since it has stockholders’ equity of less than $2.0 million and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in two of its three most recent fiscal years and Section 1003(a)(ii) of the Company Guide since it has stockholders’ equity of less than $4.0 million and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years. The Company is therefore subject to the procedures and requirements of Section 1009 of the Company Guide and was required to, and timely did, submit a plan to the Exchange addressing how the Company intends to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by March 17, 2023 (the “Plan”). On November 19, 2021, we received notice from the Exchange that it accepted the Plan, subject to periodic review, including quarterly monitoring, for compliance with the Plan. If the Company’s common stock is not delisted from the Exchange as a result of the Company’s delayed filings as described above and (i) the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards by March 17, 2023 or (ii) the Company does not make progress consistent with the Plan during the plan period, the Exchange staff may initiate delisting proceedings as appropriate.

Trading of Common Stock on Expert Market

Prior to the filing of this Quaterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company was not current in its SEC reporting obligations. Companies that are not current in their SEC reporting obligations in accordance with the provisions of Rule 15c-11 (“Rule 15c2-11”) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, do not have current information publicly available and do not meet the requirements for ongoing quoting of their securities on one of the public markets (the “OTC Markets”) operated by the OTC Markets Group. Effective July 15, 2022, the Company’s common stock is only quoted on the OTC Markets Group’s “Expert Market.”

The Expert Market is available for unsolicited quotes only, meaning broker-dealers may use the Expert Market to publish unsolicited quotes representing orders from retail and institutional investors who are not affiliates or insiders of the Company. Quotations in Expert Market securities are made available to broker-dealers, institutions, and other sophisticated investors. Accordingly, investors are not assured of the opportunity to purchase or sell their shares when they desire to do so or at all.

The Company believes that now that it is current in its SEC reporting obligations its common stock is eligible to be quoted on one of the OTC Markets through the filing of a Form 211 with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (or reliance on OTC Market Group’s current information designations in lieu thereof). There can be no assurance that the Company’s common stock will be quoted on an OTC Market or any other market or exchange or when that may occur in the future.

The Credit Agreement, as amended, requires us to maintain the following financial covenants (subject to the exclusions provided for in the previous paragraph): (a) minimum debt service coverage ratio of no less than 1.5 to 1.0 for the trailing four quarter period ended March 31, 2022, 0.95 to 1.0 for the trailing four quarter period ended June 30, 2022, and 1.5 to 1.0 for the trailing four quarter period ended September 30, 2022 and for the trailing four quarter periods ended thereafter; (b) maximum leverage ratio of no less than 7.30 to 1.0 for the trailing four quarter period ended March 31, 2022, 6.30 to 1.0 for the trailing four quarter period ended June 30, 2022, 5.0 to 1.0 for the trailing four quarter period ended September 30, 2022 and 4.0 to 1 for the trailing four quarter periods thereafter; (c) minimum net income after taxes as of the end of each fiscal quarter being no less than $1.00 commencing June 30, 2022; and (d) a minimum adjusted EBITDA at the end of each quarter of no less than $1.0 million (waived for the quarter ended March 31, 2022). The additional principal payments, increase in interest and the Amendment Fee provided for in the Eight Amendment and Ninth Amendment are excluded for purposes of calculating compliance with each of the financial covenants.

Settlement of Class Action

As previously disclosed, a consolidated class action lawsuit has been filed(captioned Rodriguez v. CPI Aerostructures, Inc., et al., No. 20-cv-01026) against the Company, Douglas McCrosson, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, Vincent Palazzolo, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer, and the two underwriters of the Company’s October 16, 2018 offering of common stock, Canaccord Genuity LLC and B. Riley FBR. The Amended Complaint in the action asserts claims on behalf of two plaintiff classes: (i) purchasers of the Company’s common stock issued pursuant to and/or traceable to the Company’s offering conducted on or about October 16, 2018; and (ii) purchasers of the Company’s common stock between March 22, 2018 and February 14, 2020. The Amended Complaint alleges that the defendants violated Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act by negligently permitting false and misleading statements to be included in the registration statement and prospectus supplements issued in connection with its October 16, 2018 securities offering. The Amended Complaint also alleges that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated by the SEC, by making false and misleading statements in the Company’s periodic reports filed between March 22, 2018 and February 14, 2020.

On May 20, 2021, the parties reached a settlement in the amount of $3,600,000, subject to court approval. On July 9, 2021, Plaintiff filed an unopposed motion for preliminary approval of the settlement. On November 10, 2021, a magistrate judge recommended that the Court grant the motion for preliminary approval in its entirety. The Court adopted the recommendation on May 27, 2022, and entered an order granting preliminary approval of the settlement on June 7, 2022. On August 5, 2022, the Plaintiff filed an unopposed motion for final approval. The magistrate judge held a hearing on September 9, 2022, and is now deciding whether to grant final approval of the settlement.

As of June 30, 2022,Accordingly, we have previously paid or accrued torelieved from our financial statements covered expenses totaling $750,000, and have therefore met our directors’ and officers’ retention requirement, which capsbalance sheet, as of that date, the Company’s expenses pertaining to the class action suit.

Backlog

 

We produce custom assemblies pursuant to long-term contracts and customer purchase orders. Funded backlog consists of aggregate funded values under such contracts and purchase orders, excluding the portion previously included in operating revenues pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 (“ASC 606”). Unfunded backlog is the estimated amount of future orders under the expected duration of the programs. Substantially all of our backlog is subject to termination at will and rescheduling, without significant penalty. Funds are often appropriated for programs or contracts on a yearly or quarterly basis, even though the contract may call for performance that is expected to take a number of years. Therefore, our funded backlog does not include the full value of our contracts.

This increase was primarily the result of an increase in contract assets and accounts receivable and a decrease of $496,937 or 4.1%.in accrued expenses, partly offset by an increase in accounts payable and contract liabilities.

Cash Flow

A large portion of our cash flow is used to pay for materials and processing costs associated with contracts that are in process and which do not provide for progress payments. Costs and related earnings for which we aredo not able to bill on a progress basis, and which, as a result, we bill upon shipment of products, are components of “Contract Assets”contract assets on our consolidated balance sheets and represent the aggregate costs and related earnings for uncompleted contracts for which the customer has not yet been billed. These costs and earnings are recovered upon shipment of products and presentation of billings in accordance with contract terms.

Because ASC 606 requires us to use estimates in determining revenue, costs and profits and in assigning the amounts to accounting periods, there can be a significant disparity between earnings (both for accounting and tax purposes) as reported and actual cash that we receive during any reporting period. Accordingly, it is possible that we may have a shortfall in our cash flow and may need to borrow money or take steps to raise additional capital,defer cash outflows until the reported earnings materialize into actual cash receipts.

SeveralSome of our programs require us to expend up-front costs that may have to be amortized over a portion of production units. In the case of significant program delays and/or program cancellations, we could be required to bear impairment charges,experience margin degradation, which may be material for costs that are not recoverable. Such charges and the loss of up-front costs could have a material impact on our liquidity and results of operations.

We continue tocontinuously work to obtain betterimprove our payment terms withfrom our customers, including accelerated progress payment arrangements, as well as exploring alternate funding sources.

Subject to the terms of the Note, the PPP Loan bore interest at a fixed rate of one percent (1%) per annum, with the first six months of interest deferred, had an initial term of two years, and was unsecured and guaranteed by the SBA.

Liquidity

We believe that our existing resources as of June 30, 2023 will be sufficient to meet our current working capital needs for at least the next 12 months from the date of issuance of our consolidated financial statements. However, our working capital requirements can vary significantly, depending in part on the timing of new program awards and the payment terms with our customers and suppliers. If our working capital needs exceed our cash flows from operations, we would look to our cash balances and availability for borrowings under our borrowing arrangement to satisfy those needs, as well as potential sources of additional capital, which may not be available on satisfactory terms and in adequate amounts, if at all.

Contractual Obligations

For information concerning our contractual obligations, see Contractual Obligations under Item 7 of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022.

Inflation

Inflation historically has not had a material effect on our operations, although the current inflationary environment in the U.S., and its impact on interest rates, the supply chain, the labor market and general economic conditions, are factors that the Company actively monitors in an attempt to mitigate and manage potential negative impacts on and risks faced by the Company. The majority of the Company’s long term contracts with its customers reflect fixed pricing and its long term contracts with its suppliers reflect fixed pricing. When bidding for work, the Company takes inflation risk and supply side pricing risk into account in its proposals.

Item 4 – Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses described below.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f), is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:

pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 


provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.


Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 based on criteria established in Internal Control- Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). In connection with this evaluation, of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, management identified deficiencies that constituted a material weaknessweaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021.2022. For more information on these deficiencies, see Item 9A. Controls and Procedures, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition, during the quarter ended June 30, 2023, management identified a deficiency that constituted another material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2023 (see Section below entitled “Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting”. Based on management’s evaluation of internal control over financial reporting for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, and as of June 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2023 due to the materials weaknesses described above.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

During 2021,2023, the Company did, and during 2022, intends to continue to implement new controls designed to remediate the aforementioned 20212022 material weaknesses.
