On May 8, 2024, management and the audit committee of the board of directors of the Company concluded that, as a result of the Correction and in accordance with, Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, “Materiality,” the consolidated statements of cash flows included in the Company’s previously issued unaudited financial statements in the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended June 30, 2023, and September 30, 2023, and the previously issued audited Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, were materially misstated and should no longer be relied upon due to the Correction. In addition, any Company communications or presentations relating to the Correction should no longer be relied upon.
The Company will report the restatement in an amendment to each of the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2023, and September 30, 2023 (the “Form 10-Q/As”), and to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Form 10-K/A”). The financial information that has been previously filed or otherwise reported for these periods with respect to the Correction will be superseded by the information to be included in the consolidated financial statements in the Form 10-Q/As and Form 10-K/A.
In addition, the Company’s management has concluded that, as a result of the Correction, a material weakness existed in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2023, September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2023, and that, because of this material weakness, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2023, September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2023. The Company’s remediation plan with respect to such material weakness will be described in more detail in the Company’s Form 10-Q/As and Form 10-K/A.
The Company’s management and audit committee of the board of directors discussed the matters disclosed in this Item 4.02 with its independent registered public accounting firm, RSM US LLP.
