The Company is in the process of finalizing its annual report on Form 10-K. In connection with the related audit, the Company identified a material weakness in its internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022. The weakness arose due to the Company’s limited back office resources as compared to the pace of revenue growth. The Company’s new senior management team has implemented plans of action to remediate the control weakness during 2023. In addition, the Company expects that the report of its independent registered public accounting firm in its Form 10-K will include a “going concern” qualification as a result of recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. However, the Company believes that it can continue to fund operations.
