 The audit committee also selects our company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Our board of directors adopted a charter for the audit committee in February 2004, which was most recently revised in November 2021. The audit committee currently consists of three independent directors. Each member of the audit committee meets the independence requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market for membership on the Audit Committee. Our company’s management is responsible for the financial reporting process, including the system of internal control over financial reporting, and for the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our company’s independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for auditing those consolidated financial statements and auditing the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to monitor and review these processes. We have relied, without independent verification, on the information provided to us and on the representations made by our company’s management and independent registered public accounting firm.

We reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 with management and the independent registered public accounting firm. We discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by the rules of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) regarding communications with audit committees. In addition, we have discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm its independence from our company and our company’s management, including the matters in the written disclosures and letter which we received from the independent registered public accounting firm under applicable requirements of the PCAOB. We also considered whether the independent registered public accounting firm’s performance of non-audit services for our company is compatible with the auditors’ independence, and concluded that the performance of such non-audit services did not impair the auditors’ independence. Based on our review and these meetings, discussions and reports, and subject to the limitations on our role and responsibilities referred to above and in the audit committee charter, we
