Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report (the Evaluation Date), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Interim Chief Executive Officer and the Interim Chief Financial Officer and Controller, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)). In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer and Controller concluded, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance the information the Company is required to disclose in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer and Controller, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management’s report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is included on page 34 of this report. The report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm related to their assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting is included on page 35 of this report.
The Company is in the midst of a multi-year transformation project to achieve better analytics, customer service, and process efficiencies through the use of Oracle Cloud Solutions. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company began implementing the order-to-cash phase at certain business locations. Implementation is expected to continue into fiscal 2026. Emphasis has been on the maintenance of effective internal controls and assessment of the design and operating effectiveness of key control activities throughout each development and deployment phase.
With the exception of the order-to-cash implementation described above, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
