Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (Certifying Officers), evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) on April 3, 2022. Based on that evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date due to a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting that was disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
Ongoing Remediation of Previously Identified Material Weakness
As previously described in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, we are implementing measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the previously disclosed material weakness are remediated, such that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively. In addition to those actions which are ongoing, we have been designing and continue to implement certain compensating controls, which allow for an additional layer of mitigation as we design, implement, and ensure effective operation of the measures addressing the material weakness. We expect these changes to materially improve our internal controls.
The weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. Management believes the remediation of this material weakness will be completed prior to the end of fiscal 2022. However, there is no assurance as to when such remediation will be completed.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
As noted above, the Company has been implementing measures to remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. Other than the remediation efforts underway, there were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the three month period ended April 3, 2022, which were identified in connection with management's evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
