**INNOVATIVE FOOD HOLDINGS, INC.**

**CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**March 31, 2026**

**(Unaudited)**

**1. NATURE OF ACTIVITIES AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

<u>Basis of Presentation</u>

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include those of Innovative Food Holdings, Inc. and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") pursuant to Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and related notes as contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. In the opinion of management, the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair presentation of the interim periods presented. The results of the operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.

<u>Business Activity</u>

The Company provides difficult-to-find specialty foods primarily to both Professional Chefs and Home Gourmets through the Company's relationships with producers, growers, makers and distributors of these products worldwide. The distribution of these products primarily originates from the Company's two unified warehouses and those of its drop ship partners, and is driven by its proprietary technology platform. In addition, the Company provides value-added services through its team of food specialists and Chef Advisors who offer customer support, menu ideas, and preparation guidance.

<u>Discontinued Operations</u>

The Company relied on the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 205-20, *Presentation of Financial Statements* – *Discontinued Operations,* in presenting the results of its discontinued operations. During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company committed to a strategic exit of its retail specialty cheese business, which served as the primary component of its national distribution platform. Accordingly, results for this business for all prior periods presented have been retrospectively reclassified to discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 205-20. In connection with this decision, the Company also elected to discontinue its related logistics operations and specialty cheese cutting activities, including igourmet, along with the Company's logistics subsidiaries (Logistics Innovations LLC ("LII") and Innovative Food Properties LLC ("IFP")). During the year ended December 31, 2025, the accounts of the following entities are included in net loss from discontinued operations and in the discontinued operations sections of the Company's balance sheet: IFP, LII, and the activity of igourmet directly related to its cheese business. See Note 3.

<u>Reclassifications</u>

Certain amounts presented in the financial statements of the prior period have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation of discontinued operations. See Note 3. In addition, restricted cash has been included with unrestricted cash in the cash totals in the statement of cash flows.

<u>Use of Estimates</u>

The preparation of these unaudited consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates these estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and concentration of credit risk. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Accounts subject to estimate and judgements are allowance for credit losses, allowance for slow moving and obsolete inventory, income taxes, contingent liabilities, operating and finance right of use assets and liabilities, and equity-based instruments. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company believes its estimates have not been materially inaccurate in past years, and its assumptions are not likely to change in the foreseeable future.

<u>Concentrations of Credit Risk</u> 

Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and temporary cash in investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of applicable government mandated insurance limit. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, trade receivables from the Company's largest customer accounted for approximately 23% and 18%, respectively, of total trade receivables.

The Company maintains cash balances in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the total cash in excess of these limits was $0 and $261,808, respectively.

<u>Accounts Receivable</u>

The Company provides an allowance for credit losses equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts pursuant to the guidance of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, *Financial Instruments* – *Credit Losses* (Topic 326) as codified in ASC 326, *Financial Instruments* – *Credit Losses*. Under ASC 326, the Company utilizes a current and expected credit loss (CECL) impairment model. The Company's estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable. It is reasonably possible that the Company's estimate of the allowance for credit losses will change. Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for credit losses of $247,272 and $218,319 at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

[**Table of Contents**](#TableOfContents)

<u>Inventory</u>

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and is determined by the average cost method. The Company adjusts inventory based upon bi-weekly cycle counts and upon the expiration date of food products. In addition, the Company records a provision for excess, obsolete, and slow-moving inventory. This provision reduces the carrying value of inventory to its net realizable value.

<u>Leases</u>

The Company accounts for leases in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") ASC 842, *Leases*. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating and Finance lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets and current and noncurrent lease liabilities are included on the face of the consolidated balance sheet.

ROU assets represent the right of use to an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. For finance leases, the Company recognizes the amortization of the ROU asset over the shorter of the lease term or useful life of the underlying asset. Interest accretion on the finance lease liabilities is recorded as interest expense. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also excludes lease incentives. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component. For lease agreements with terms less than 12 months, the Company has elected the short-term lease measurement and recognition exemption, and it recognizes such lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

<u>Revenue Recognition</u>

The Company recognizes revenue upon product delivery. All of the Company's products are shipped either same day or overnight or through longer shipping terms to the customer and the customer takes title to product and assumes risk and ownership of the product when it is delivered. Shipping charges to customers are included in revenues.

For revenue from product sales (i.e., specialty foodservice and e-commerce), the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606, *Revenue from Contracts with Customers*. A five-step analysis must be met as outlined in Topic 606: (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) performance obligations are satisfied. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.

Warehouse and logistics services revenue is primarily comprised of inventory management, order fulfilment and warehousing services. Warehouse and logistics services revenues are recognized at the point in time when the services are rendered to the customer. Warehouse rental services are recognized over the period the service is provided.

<u>Disaggregation of Revenue</u>

<u>Cost of Goods Sold</u>

The Company has included in cost of goods sold all costs which are directly related to the generation of revenue. These costs include primarily the cost of food and raw materials, packing and handling, shipping, and delivery costs. The Company has also included all payroll costs as cost of goods sold in its warehouse and logistics services business.

<u>Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share ("EPS")</u>

Basic net EPS is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, while fully-diluted net EPS is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive securities assumed to be outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive securities consist of options and restricted stock awards ("RSAs").

[**Table of Contents**](#TableOfContents)

Stock options and warrants for which the exercise price exceeds the average market price over the period have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per common share and, accordingly, are excluded from the calculation.

<u>Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements</u>

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as expensing of U.S. research expenditures and eligible capital expenditures, the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The impacts of the OBBBA are reflected in the Company's results for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and there was no impact to its income tax expense or effective income tax rate.

In July 2025, the FASB issued 2025-05, *Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets*, which allows companies to elect a practical expedient to assume that the current conditions as of the balance sheet date will remain unchanged for the remaining life of the asset when developing a reasonable and supportable forecast as part of estimating expected credit losses on these assets. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 effective January 1, 2026, on a prospective basis. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

<u>New Accounting Pronouncements</u>

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (DISE)" which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. The ASU does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating standard and its potential effect on its consolidated financial statements and segment disclosures.

**2. REVISION OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

As previously reported in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company revised amounts reported in previously issued financial statements for the periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q related to immaterial errors. The errors relate to certain costs directly related to the revenue generation and cost of goods sold. The costs were not properly categorized in prior periods, which led to an overstatement of revenue and a corresponding overstatement of cost of goods sold. There was no effect to consolidated net income (loss) in any of the revised periods.

The Company evaluated the aggregate effects of the errors to its previously issued financial statements in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletins No. 99 and No. 108 and, based upon quantitative and qualitative factors, determined that the errors were not material to the previously issued financial statements and disclosures included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

The following tables present the effects of the aforementioned revisions on the Company's consolidated statements of operations for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2025.

**3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS**

During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company committed to a strategic exit of its retail specialty cheese business, which served as the primary component of its national distribution platform. In connection with this decision, the Company also elected to discontinue its related logistics operations and specialty cheese cutting activities. As part of this exit, the Company has sold the associated Pennsylvania production and distribution facility.

Accordingly, the operating results and related assets and liabilities of the retail specialty cheese business, including igourmet, along with the Company's logistics subsidiaries (LII and IFP) and specialty cheese cutting operations, have been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented.

● The Company would award the stock upon triggering the thresholds.

● Annual attrition or forfeiture rates (i.e., pre–vesting forfeiture assumption) are assumed to be zero given the holder's position with the Company.

● No projected capital events were included in the adjustments to the shares issued and outstanding in the projected simulations.

● Awards/payouts were discounted at the risk–free rate.

We are also subject to other risks detailed from time to time in our other filings with the SEC and elsewhere in this report. Any one or more of these uncertainties, risks and other influences could materially affect our results of operations and whether forward-looking statements made by us ultimately prove to be accurate. Our actual results, performance and achievements could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether from new information, future events or otherwise.

[**Table of Contents**](#TableOfContents)

**Critical Accounting Policy and Estimates**

<u>Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements</u>

The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates include certain assumptions related to, among others, doubtful accounts receivable, inventory, valuation of stock-based services, operating right of use assets and liabilities, impairment of intangible assets, and income taxes. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and concentration of credit risk. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Accounts subject to estimate and judgements are accounts receivable reserves, income taxes, intangible assets, contingent liabilities, and equity-based instruments. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe our estimates have not been materially inaccurate in past years, and our assumptions are not likely to change in the foreseeable future.

<u>Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights</u>

The Company accounts for options in accordance with FASB ASC 718-40. Options are valued upon issuance utilizing the Black-Scholes valuation model. Option expense is recognized over the requisite service period of the related option award. The following table illustrates certain key information regarding our options, SARS, and valuation assumptions:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **March 31,**<br>**2026** | **December 31,**<br>**2025** |
| Volatility | 66.47% | 77.84-205.63% |
| Dividends | 0% | 0% |
| Risk-free interest rates | 3.68% | 3.48-4.10% |
| Term (in years) | 0.75 | 1.00-2.00 |

---

<u>Allowance for Credit Losses</u>

The Company maintained an allowance in the amount of $247,272 and $218,319 for credit losses at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Company has an operational relationship of several years with our major customers, and we believe this experience provides us with a solid foundation from which to estimate our expected losses on accounts receivable. Should our sales mix change or if we develop new lines of business or new customers, these estimates and our estimation process will change accordingly. These estimates have been accurate in the past.

<u>Income Taxes</u>

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities is based on provisions of applicable tax law. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance based on the amount of tax benefits that, based on available evidence, is not expected to be realized.

<u>Leases</u>

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use assets ("ROU assets") and short-term and long-term lease liabilities are included on the face of the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

ROU assets represent the right of use to an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also excludes lease incentives. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component. For lease agreements with terms less than 12 months, the Company has elected the short-term lease measurement and recognition exemption, and it recognizes such lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

**Our Business Activities**

We build dynamic scalable businesses by selling specialty foods that are difficult to find through traditional channels. Our expertise is forging close relationships with the producers, growers, makers and distributors of specialty products, then carefully selecting our suppliers based on their quality, uniqueness and reliability.

Our team is adept at evaluating and certifying the food safety and supply chain capabilities of small batch producers who do not typically sell through broad-based sales channels. We seek out the freshest, most unique, origin-specific gourmet cheese, meat, produce, and premium ingredients available, and distribute them directly from our robust network of vendors and warehouses within 24 – 72 hours of an order being placed. We also source, package, and brand a meaningful segment of these products ourselves, enabling us to better control the assortment, offer more flexibility and variety to our customers, and capture additional margin.

[**Table of Contents**](#TableOfContents)

We leverage this unique, premium assortment to serve the needs of Professional Chefs in settings such as restaurants, hotels, country clubs, national chain accounts, casinos, hospitals and catering houses. We provide these premium customers with products that cannot typically be found through their broadline distributor's warehouse assortment. We distribute these products directly to Professional Chefs in Chicago through our subsidiary, Artisan Specialty Foods, Inc., and nationally through our e-commerce businesses on Amazon.com and our own website. We also drop ship specialty foods to Professional Chefs nationally through the websites of broadline distributors, such as U.S. Foods, Inc. Lastly, we sell these foods to large retailers for resale on their shelves to the end customer. Between this variety of sales channels, we are able to serve our Professional Chef customers wherever they are located.

We operate our airline catering distribution business out of our owned 28,000 square foot facility in the greater Chicago area. Additionally, we operate a warehouse in Denver, Colorado, measuring approximately 20,000 square feet. In March 2026, we sold our facility in Mountain Top, Pennsylvania, which previously supported both our retail and airline catering operations. In connection with this sale, our airline catering operations have been relocated to the Chicago facility, and our retail business is being wound down.

Our facilities have the capabilities to pack and ship frozen, refrigerated, and ambient products, enabling us to offer a broad range of specialty foods. We maintain GFSI/SQF certifications, ensuring compatibility with the highest global standards for food handling and meeting the quality and food safety expectations of our premium customers. These warehouses are equipped to ship packages and pallets of all sizes via overnight carriers. We also utilize our own fleet of trucks to deliver directly to Professional Chef customers within our delivery footprint.

Our proprietary technology platform underpins our entire business, driving transparency and efficiency up and down the supply chain. Orders flow in real time, whether to our warehouses or to our vendor partners, to allow for fast handling and fulfillment. Our picking is enabled by efficient scan-based, handheld devices, ensuring order and inventory accuracy. Our warehouse management software optimizes pick routes for common items and order types, recommends a box size, and calculates the appropriate amount of packaging and ice required based on forecasted temperatures along the delivery route.

We have built a team consisting of passionate, committed, and food-obsessed people: our average tenure (outside of seasonal workers) across the Company is over five years. Our merchandising team has deep connections within the specialty food space around the globe. Our customer service and sales teams, as ex-chefs themselves, go beyond customer service to offer our Professional Chefs customer support, menu ideas, and preparation guidance.

**RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

This discussion may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our future results could differ materially from the forward-looking statements discussed in this report. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, the notes thereto and other financial information included elsewhere in the report.

Financial highlights for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2026: we reported revenue of $12.2 million, a 19.0% decrease compared to $15.0 million in 2025.

**<u>Three Months Ended March 31, 2026</u>**

<u>Revenue Breakdown:</u>

● Digital Channels: Largely comprised of our distributor relationships and supported by our drop-ship model generated $6.6 million, or 55% of total revenue, in the current period, compared to $7.8 million in the prior year period, a decrease of approximately 16%. This decrease was primarily driven by continued headwinds in our legacy drop-ship business, where increased competition in online marketplace channels has resulted in lower order volumes and pricing pressure.

● National Distribution: Revenue was $2.5 million, 21% of total revenue, compared to $2.8 million in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily driven by stiffer competition and airline menu cycle changes.

● Local Distribution: Consists mainly of local sales team relationships and our local fleet delivering direct from warehouse. This category generated $3.1 million, or 26% of total revenue, which is a 30% decrease from $4.4 million in 2025. This decrease was primarily driven by customer attrition following prior year operational transitions; however, these strategic customer attrition efforts have stabilized.

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased by approximately 18% to $9.1 million compared to $11.1 million in the prior year period, which is primarily due to a 19% decrease in revenue. Gross margin remained flat at approximately 26%.

**Operating Expenses**

Total operating expenses decreased by $888 thousand, or 24%, primarily due to the factors described below:

● Payroll and related costs decreased by $426 thousand to $1.9 million. This decrease was primarily due to a reduction in headcount from organizational restructuring, largely at the executive level.

● Professional fees decreased by $276 thousand to $249 thousand primarily due to the discontinuation of strategic growth initiatives that did not yield desired results.

● Share-based compensation decreased by $153 thousand to $8 thousand, due to revaluation of stock options and other equity-based incentives offered to attract and retain key personnel.

● Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $11 thousand to $60 thousand primarily due to the expiration of capitalized financial leases.

<u>Discontinued Operations</u>

The discontinued operations reported net income of $1.5 million in the current quarter, compared to a net loss of $684 thousand in the prior year primarily due to the $2.1 million gain on the sale of the Pennsylvania facility in 2026.

[**Table of Contents**](#TableOfContents)

**Liquidity and Capital Resources at March 31, 2026**

As of March 31, 2026, we had current assets of $9.8 million and current liabilities of $3.3 million. Net working capital was $6.5 million.

We believe we have sufficient liquidity to fund operations for at least the next twelve months. With the sale of the Pennsylvania facility, operating cash flows are expected to continue to improve as facility costs and lower margin product sales roll off. We do not anticipate the need to raise additional capital. We are working on a new credit facility to provide working capital flexibility. Remaining severance obligations are not expected to be material, and staffing levels are being managed to align with current business needs.

Cash Flow Analysis:

● Net cash used in operating activities was $234 thousand, primarily due to net income of $1.8 million, a decrease in inventory of $345 thousand due to lowered cheese inventory balances associated with the wind down Pennsylvania of the facility, partially offset by the gain on disposition of assets of $2.7 million, a $609 thousand loss on the early extinguishment of debt, a decrease of $184 thousand primarily due to the collection of receivables related to discontinuing the cheese business, and a $564 thousand decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities primarily due to the sale of the Pennsylvania facility.

● Net cash provided by investing activities was $8.8 million which was primarily due to cash received for the sale of the Pennsylvania land and building for $8.8 million, offset by the purchase of property and equipment for $31 thousand.

● Net cash used in financing Activities was $8.8 million, due to the payments on debt and financing leases.

**Transactions with Major Customers**

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, U.S. Foods, Inc. and its affiliates accounted for approximately 40% and 41% of total revenue, respectively. Gate Gourmet accounted for approximately 15% and 19% of total revenue, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025.

**Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements**

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues, or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

**Inflation**

In the opinion of management, inflation has had a material effect on the Company's financial condition and results of its operations. The Company has seen the impact of inflation across its costs for fuel, shipping, cost of goods, and marketing. Balancing the management of these increases with the willingness of our customers to pay higher prices will continue to be a key focus for the Company this year. However, no assurance can be given that we will be successful and inflationary pressure on our profits will likely continue through 2026.

**RISK FACTORS**

The Company's business and success is subject to numerous risk factors as detailed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and its Current Reports on Form 8-K, all of which reports are available at no cost at <u>www.sec.gov</u>.

**Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk**

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this Item.

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures**

*<u>Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures</u>*

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit pursuant to the requirements of 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, among other things, controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive and financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of 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 the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, and because of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below, management concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2026.

[**Table of Contents**](#TableOfContents)

*<u>Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting</u>*

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

During management's evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, management identified material weaknesses related to information technology general controls over certain applications that support the Company's financial reporting processes.

Management identified material weaknesses related to information technology general controls over certain applications that support the Company's financial reporting processes. Specifically, management identified deficiencies associated with (a) effective user access controls to appropriately segregate duties and adequately restrict user and privileged access, (b) effective controls to monitor, document and approve application changes, and (c) effective controls related to monitoring of critical jobs. As a result of these deficiencies and certain account reconciliation and review controls that were not effectively designed in fully mitigating the related risks, automated process- level and manual controls within the financial reporting cycles that rely on information generated from such financially relevant systems were not considered effective.

Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses, management, including our principal executive, financial and accounting officer, concluded the consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly represent in all material respects our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows at and for the periods presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

As disclosed in Part II, Item 9A of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, management concluded that the aforementioned material weaknesses in internal control existed for the Company. Management concluded that these material weaknesses still existed as of March 31, 2026.

 

*<u>Remediation Plan</u>*

Management has begun implementing measures designed to remediate the material weaknesses described above. These remediation efforts include:

● Formalizing information technology governance procedures related to user access administration, periodic access reviews, and application change management for systems supporting financial reporting;

● Enhancing documentation, approval, testing, and tracking procedures for application changes;

● Reviewing user roles and access permissions within relevant applications and implementing additional role-based access governance procedures, as appropriate;

● Enhancing the documentation, retention, and review of system change logs and other relevant system activity logs; and

● Strengthening documentation of existing monitoring controls related to system interfaces, application functionality, and data validation processes.

Management will continue to evaluate the design and operating effectiveness of these remediation efforts. The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls have been fully implemented, tested, and determined to be operating effectively for a sufficient period of time.

*<u>Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting</u>*

Other than as discussed above, during the period covered by this report, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
