Controls and Procedures**\n\n \n\n**Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**\n\n \n\nWe maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to reasonably ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2026. \n\n \n\nPage 72\n\n[Table of Contents](#toc)\n\n \n\n**Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**\n\n \n\nOur management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness for 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. \n\n \n\nManagement evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2026, using the framework in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in 2013. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2026.\n\n \n\nOur CEO and CFO have certified that, based on their knowledge, our consolidated financial statements and other financial information included in this annual report, fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of, and for, the periods presented in this annual report.\n\n \n\nBaker Tilly LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited our consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2026 and for the year then ended, is appointed by the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. Baker Tilly LLP has issued an unqualified opinion on our consolidated financial statements and has issued an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2026 within Item 8. *Financial Statements and Supplementary Data* in this annual report.\n\n \n\n**Changes in internal control over financial reporting**\n\n \n\nThere were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting."}
