Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosures None. Item 9A. 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 defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of December 31, 2021 . Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2021 , our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2021 due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below. In light of this fact, our management has performed additional analyses, reconciliations, and other post-closing procedures and has concluded that, notwithstanding the material weaknes s in our internal control over financial reporting, the consolidated financial statements for the periods covered by and included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with GAAP. Material Weaknes s We identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the lack of properly designed controls around complex technical accounting matters within our financial statement close process. We have concluded that this material weakness arose because, as a private company, we did not have the necessary business processes, systems, personnel, and related internal controls necessary to satisfy the accounting and financial reporting requirements of a public company. Accordingly, we have determined that these control deficiencies constituted a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our consolidated financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. These deficiencies could result in additional misstatements to our condensed financial statements that would be material and would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Remediation Plans We have commenced measures to remediate the identified material weakness. Specifically, we have: • initiated the process of implementing a new revenue recognition system which will significantly reduce the number of manual controls currently required to recognize revenue; • engaged external resources to assist with remediation efforts and internal control execution as well as to provide additional training to existing personnel; and • hired additional internal resources with appropriate knowledge and technical expertise to effectively operate financial reporting processes and internal controls. We intend to continue to take steps to remediate the material weakness described above and further evolve our accounting processes and internal resources. We will not be able to fully remediate this material weakness until these steps have been completed and have been operating effectively for a sufficient period of time. While we believe that these efforts will improve our internal control over financial reporting, the implementation of our remediation is ongoing and will require validation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over a sustained period of financial reporting cycles. We believe we are making progress toward achieving the effectiveness of our internal controls and disclosure controls. The actions that we are taking are subject to ongoing senior management review as well as audit committee oversight. We will not be able to conclude whether the steps we are taking will fully remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting until we have completed our remediation efforts and subsequent evaluation of their effectiveness.
