NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 – Nature of the Business
Synergy CHC Corp. (“Synergy”, “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) (formerly Synergy Strips Corp.) was incorporated on December 29, 2010 in Nevada under the name “Oro Capital Corporation.” On April 21, 2014, the Company changed its fiscal year end from July 31 to December 31. On April 28, 2014, the Company changed its name to “Synergy Strips Corp.”. On August 5, 2015, the Company changed its name to “Synergy CHC Corp.”
The Company is a consumer health care company that is in the process of building a portfolio of best-in-class consumer product brands. Synergy’s strategy is to grow its portfolio both organically and by further acquisitions.
Effective January 1, 2019 the Company has merged its U.S. subsidiaries (Neuragen Corp., Breakthrough Products, Inc., Sneaky Vaunt Corp., and The Queen Pegasus Corp.) into the parent company.
Synergy is the sole owner of three subsidiaries: NomadChoice Pty Ltd., Hand MD Corp., and Synergy CHC Inc. and the results have been consolidated in these statements.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2025 and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 are unaudited. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 and footnotes thereto.
All amounts referred to in the notes to the consolidated financial statements are in United States Dollars ($) unless stated otherwise.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reverse Stock Split
On September 11, 2024, the Company effected a
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates included are assumptions about collection of accounts receivable, current income taxes, deferred income taxes valuation allowance, useful life of intangible assets, impairment analysis of intangible assets, estimates used in the fair value calculation of stock based compensation, assumptions used in Black-Scholes-Merton, or BSM, valuation methods, such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected dividend rate, accrual of sales returns, and accrual of legal expense. The results of any changes in accounting estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which the changes become evident. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period that they are determined to be necessary.
7
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all cash on hand and in
banks, including accounts in book overdraft positions, certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid investments with maturities of
three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had
Restricted Cash
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and restricted cash reported within the statement of financial position that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the statement of cash flows.

Cash | $ | $ | ||||||
Restricted cash | ||||||||
Total cash and restricted cash shown in the statement of cash flows | $ | $ |
Amounts included in restricted cash represent amounts held for credit card collateral.
Intangible Assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of intangible assets periodically and takes into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate that impairment exists. All of the intangible assets are subject to amortization. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the useful lives.
Long-lived Assets
Long-lived assets include equipment and intangible assets other than those with indefinite lives. The Company assesses the carrying value of its long-lived asset groups when indicators of impairment exist and recognizes an impairment loss when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable when compared to undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset.
Indicators of impairment include significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the Company’s use of the assets or in its business strategy, loss of or changes in customer relationships and significant negative industry or economic trends. When indications of impairment arise for a particular asset or group of assets, the Company assesses the future recoverability of the carrying value of the asset (or asset group) based on an undiscounted cash flow analysis. If carrying value exceeds projected, net, undiscounted cash flows, an additional analysis is performed to determine the fair value of the asset (or asset group), typically a discounted cash flow analysis, and an impairment charge is recorded for the excess of carrying value over fair value.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”), Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Revenues are recognized when control is transferred to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods. Revenue recognition is evaluated through the following five steps: (i) identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; (ii) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determination of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognition of revenue when or as a performance obligation is satisfied.
8
The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment from its fulfillment centers. Certain of the Company’s distributors may also perform a separate function as a co-packer on the Company’s behalf. In such cases, ownership of and title to the Company’s products that are co-packed on the Company’s behalf by those co-packers who are also distributors, passes to such distributors when the Company is notified by them that they have taken transfer or possession of the relevant portion of the Company’s finished goods. Freight billed to customers is presented as revenues, and the related freight costs are presented as cost of goods sold. Cancelled orders are refunded if not already dispatched, refunds are only paid if stock is damaged in transit, discounts are only offered with specific promotions and orders will be refilled if lost in transit. The Company recognizes revenue for its digital products in the month the download by the customer occurs.
All product sales were initiated based upon the retailer’s purchase orders at a fixed transaction price and revenues recognized when the products were shipped to the Company’s customers.
The Company accounts for its IP license revenue, which provides the Company’s customer with rights to use the Company’s IP, in accordance with ASC 606. A license may be perpetual or time limited in its application. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company will continue to recognize revenue from IP license at the time of delivery when the customer accepts control of the IP, as the IP is functional without professional services, updates and technical support. The Company has concluded that its IP license is distinct as the customer can benefit from the functional IP on its own. Therefore, the Company has determined the right to use its IP was satisfied at a point in time (on the date the rights to the IP were granted).
Contract Assets
The Company does not have any contract assets such as work-in-process. All trade receivables on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet are from contracts with customers.
Contract Costs
Costs incurred to obtain a contract are capitalized unless short term in nature. As a practical expedient, costs to obtain a contract that are short term in nature are expensed as incurred. The Company does not have any contract costs capitalized as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Contract Liabilities
The Company’s contract liabilities consist
of advance customer payments. Contract liability results from transactions in which the Company has been paid for products by customers,
but for which all revenue recognition criteria have not yet been met.

Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are generally unsecured. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based on the age of outstanding invoices and management’s evaluation of collectability. Accounts are written off after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted and management concludes that likelihood of collection is remote. Any future recoveries are applied against the allowance for doubtful accounts. As of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, allowance for doubtful accounts was

Advertising Expense
The Company expenses marketing, promotions and advertising costs as incurred. Such costs are included in selling and marketing expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Research and Development
Costs incurred in connection with the development of new products and processing methods are charged to general and administrative expenses as incurred.
9
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely-than-not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The Company generated a deferred tax asset through
net operating loss carry-forward. However, a valuation allowance of
NomadChoice Pty Ltd, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The company recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on the Company’s current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

Net Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
The Company computes earnings per share under
ASC subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to
the common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding (the denominator) during
the reporting periods. Diluted earnings per share is computed by increasing the denominator by the weighted average number of additional
shares that could have been outstanding from securities convertible into common stock (using the “treasury stock” method),
unless their effect on net income per share is anti-dilutive. As of both March 31, 2025 and 2024, options to purchase

Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures and discloses the fair value of assets and liabilities required to be carried at fair value in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and enhances fair value measurement disclosure.
ASC 825 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets to which the Company has access at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The determination of where assets and liabilities fall within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
As of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company has determined that there were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value.
Inventory
Inventory consists of raw materials, components and finished goods. The Company’s inventory is stated at the lower of cost (FIFO cost basis) or net realizable value. Finished goods include the cost of labor to assemble the items.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of one of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries (NomadChoice Pty Ltd.) is the U.S. Dollar. The Company’s foreign subsidiary maintains its records using local currency (Australian Dollar). All monetary assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiary were translated into U.S. Dollars at quarter end exchange rates, non-monetary assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiary were translated into U.S. Dollars at transaction day exchange rates.
Income and expense items related to non-monetary items were translated at exchange rates prevailing during the transaction date and other incomes and expenses were translated using average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments, net of income taxes, were recorded in statements of operations as Remeasurement gain or loss on translation of foreign subsidiary.
The functional currency of the Company’s other foreign subsidiary (Synergy CHC Inc.) is the Canadian Dollar (CAD). The Company’s foreign subsidiary maintains its records using local currency (CAD). All assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiary were translated into U.S. Dollars at period end exchange rates and stockholders’ equity is translated at the historical rates. Income and expense items were translated using average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments, net of income taxes, are reported as other comprehensive income and accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholder’s equity in accordance with ASC 220 – Comprehensive Income.
11
The exchange rates used to translate amounts in AUD and CAD into USD for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements were as follows:
Balance sheet:
March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |||||||
Period-end AUD: USD exchange rate | $ | $ | ||||||
Period-end CAD: USD exchange rate | $ | $ |
Income statement:
March 31, 2025 | March 31, 2024 | |||||||
Average three months AUD: USD exchange rate | $ | $ | ||||||
Average three months CAD: USD exchange rate | $ | $ |
Translation gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are translated into either Australian Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as the case may be, at the rate on the date of the transaction and included in the results of operations as incurred.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
In the normal course of business, the Company provides credit terms to its customers; however, collateral is not required. Accordingly, the Company performs credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for possible losses which, when realized, were within the range of management’s expectations. From time to time, a higher concentration of credit risk exists on outstanding accounts receivable for a select number of customers due to individual buying patterns.
Warehousing costs
Warehouse costs include all third-party warehouse rent fees and are charged to selling and marketing expenses as incurred. Any additional costs relating to assembly or special pack-outs of the Company’s products are charged to cost of sales.
Product display costs
All displays manufactured and purchased by the Company are for placement of product in retail stores. This also includes all costs for display execution and setup and retail services are charged to cost of sales and expensed as incurred.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales includes the purchase cost of products sold, all costs associated with getting the products into the retail stores including buying and transportation costs and the hosting of the Company’s online Application.
Debt Issuance Costs
Debt issuance costs consist primarily of arrangement fees, professional fees and legal fees. These costs are netted off with the related loan and are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt facilities.
Shipping Costs
Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are recorded in sales. Shipping costs incurred by the company are recorded in selling and marketing expenses.
12
Related parties
Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests (see Note 9).
Segment Reporting
Segment identification and selection is consistent
with the management structure used by the Company’s chief executive officer who is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to
evaluate performance and make decisions regarding resource allocation, as well as the materiality of financial results consistent with
that structure. Based on the Company’s management structure and method of internal reporting, the Company has
Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern
Going Concern Evaluation
In connection with preparing unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025, management evaluated whether there were conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
The Company considered the following:
● | At
March 31, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $ |
● | At March 31, 2025, the Company had working capital surplus of $ |
● | During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company had $ | |
● | During the three months ended March 31, 2025, there was a decrease in revenue of $ |
Ordinarily, conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern relate to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due.
The Company evaluated its ability to meet its obligations as they become due within one year from the date that the financial statements are issued by considering the following:
● | During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company repaid $ |
● | During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company had net income of $ |
● | The Company has the option of publicly selling its common stock to raise additional capital. |
● | The Company has the option of selling any of its brands to raise additional capital. |
● | The Company’s current lenders have agreed to extend the $ |
Management concluded that above factors alleviate doubts about the Company’s ability to generate enough cash from operations and other available sources to satisfy its obligations for the next twelve months from the issuance date.
13
The Company will take the following actions if it starts to trend unfavorably to its internal profitability and cash flow projections, in order to mitigate conditions or events that would raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern:
● | Raise additional capital through line of credit and/or loans financing for future mergers and acquisitions. |
● | Implement restructuring and cost reductions. |
● | Raise additional capital through an additional capital raise. |
Correction of Prior Period Immaterial Errors:
The Company has identified an immaterial error in
the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements related to Treasury Shares held by its wholly owned
subsidiary. The adjustment pertained to the acquisition of remaining
In evaluating whether the previously issued consolidated financial statements were materially misstated for the interim or annual periods prior to December 31, 2022, the Company applied the guidance of ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 1.M, Assessing Materiality and SAB Topic 1.N, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, and concluded that the effect of the errors on prior period annual financial statements was immaterial. The guidance states that prior-year misstatements which, if corrected in the current year would materially misstate the current year’s financial statements, must be corrected by adjusting prior year financial statements, even though such correction previously was and continues to be immaterial to the prior-year financial statements. Correcting prior-year financial statements for such immaterial misstatements does not require previously filed reports to be amended.
The Company’s earnings per share has been revised from the amounts previously reported to correct the error and the impact of the reclassification is shown in the below table.

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 amends the rules on income tax disclosures to require entities to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation, the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (separated between domestic and foreign) and income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (separated by federal, state, and foreign). In addition, ASU 2023-09 requires entities to disclose their income tax payments to international, federal, state, and local jurisdictions, among other changes. The amendments can be applied on a prospective basis although retrospective application is permitted. The amendments are effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 has not affected the Company’s financial statements.
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative” (“ASU 2023-06”). ASU 2023-06 amends U.S. GAAP to reflect updates and simplifications to certain disclosure and presentation requirements referred to FASB by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The targeted amendments incorporate 14 of the 27 disclosures referred by the SEC into codification. Each amendment in ASU 2023-06 is effective on either the date on which the SEC’s removal of the related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, or on June 30, 2027, if the SEC has not removed the requirements by that date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this update will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 3 – Income Taxes
The Company utilizes FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely-than-not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or noncurrent depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The Company does not have any uncertain tax positions.
For U.S. purposes, the Company has not completed its evaluation of NOL utilization limitations under Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”) Section 382/383, change of ownership rules. If the Company has had a change in ownership, the NOL’s would be limited or eliminated, as to the amount that could be utilized each year, based on the Code. NOL’s attributable to Breakthrough Products, Inc., which are the majority of the Company’s domestic NOL’s are Separate Return Limitation Year (SRLY) NOL’s. Such losses may generally not be available for use (limited or eliminated).
The Company has not filed its State & Local Income/Franchise tax returns in states it is required to file, as such returns and liability remain open. The Company does not expect this to be a significant liability.

Overview
We are a provider of consumer health care, beauty, and lifestyle products. Our current brand portfolio consists of two core brands: FOCUSfactor, a clinically-tested brain health supplement (this study was performed independently and is not related to any FDA-approved Investigational New Drug application) that has been shown to improve memory, concentration and focus and Flat Tummy, a lifestyle brand that provides a suite of nutritional products to help women achieve their weight management goals.
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are only based on our current business and should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Key factors affecting our results of operations include revenues, cost of revenue, operating expenses and income and taxation.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We currently focus on EBITDA to evaluate our business relationships and our resulting operating performance and financial position. EBITDA is defined as net income plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization.
We believe that EBITDA, viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of, our reported results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), provides useful information to investors.

EBITDA is considered non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Our definition of EBITDA might not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024
During both the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we focused on developing our currently owned brands into new markets and by product extensions. Our objective is to grow our two targeted verticals (Nutraceuticals and Ready To Drinks (RTDs)) to provide a balanced and synergistic portfolio that drives consumer demand via multiple channels. Our Nutraceuticals vertical consists of FOCUSfactor, including RTDs, and Flat Tummy consumables.
Revenue
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we had revenue of $6,670,534 from sales of our products and $1,500,000 from a license agreement, as compared to revenue of $9,411,863 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The revenue is comprised of the following categories:

We had a decrease in Nutraceuticals revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 due to a new product sell-in to one customer in 2024 that did not repeat in 2025.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, our cost of revenue was $2,006,513. Our cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was $2,637,139. The decrease in cost of sales was primarily due to the decrease in revenue.
Gross Profit

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, our selling and marketing expenses were $2,876,271 as compared to $3,584,677 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, which is primarily due to lower revenue and an improved management of promotions in 2025.

Lastly, we intend to grow further through additional strategic acquisitions and we continue to evaluate opportunities and candidates that we believe fit well with our brand portfolio.

Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. The more critical accounting estimates include estimates related to revenue recognition and accounts receivable allowances. We also have other key accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that are significant to understanding our results, which are described in Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report.

As a smaller reporting company, we have elected not to provide the disclosure required by this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, (i) the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that material information relating to the Company is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), and (ii) the Company’s controls and procedures have not been designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act, during the quarter ended March 31, 2025, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
