 internal control over financial reporting that we will be required to include in the periodic reports we will file with the SEC. Ineffective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial and other information, which would likely have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock.

We expect our independent registered public accounting firm will be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting commencing with our second annual report on Form 10-K. At such time, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event it is not satisfied with the level at which our internal control over financial reporting is documented, designed, or operating. Any failure to maintain effective disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting may adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition. Furthermore, we expect to incur significant expenses and devote substantial management effort toward ensuring compliance with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. As a result of the complexity involved in complying with the rules and regulations applicable to public companies, our management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could harm our business, operating results, and financial condition. We have hired and expect to continue to hire additional employees to assist us in complying with these requirements, and we may also engage outside consultants, either of which will increase our operating expenses.

We expect operating as a public company to result in a significant diversion of management’s time and attention from operating our business and to result in significantly increased costs.

As a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting, compliance, and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. Such additional compliance costs will continue to increase our legal, accounting, and financial compliance costs, make certain activities more difficult, time-consuming, and costly, and place significant strain on our management, personnel, systems, and resources. For example, in anticipation of becoming a public company, we will need to adopt additional internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures, retain a transfer agent, and adopt an insider trading policy. As a public company, we will bear all of the internal and external costs of preparing and distributing periodic public reports in compliance with our obligations under securities laws.

In addition, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Exchange Act, Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and rules and regulations implemented by the SEC have increased legal and financial compliance costs
