In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints that require management to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.\n\nEvaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures\n\n24\n\nWe maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports we file or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.\n\nOur management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2026, due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting identified in our 2025 Form 10-K. The material weaknesses existing in our internal control over financial reporting relate to:\n\n•As a result of turnover in key management within the accounting and finance departments during the year, combined with decentralized, manual processes, management identified deficiencies associated with the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of certain process level and management review controls related to the financial close process, including journal entries, account reconciliation, recording of revenue and accounts receivable, inventory and cost of sales, and in review and assessment of accounting for infrequent, unusual transactions.\n\n•Segregation of duties and user access related to certain information technology systems that support the Company’s financial reporting processes including revenue, inventory, purchasing and related expenditures, resulting in ineffective journal entry and other manual controls.\n\nNo new material weaknesses were identified during the quarter ended March 31, 2026.\n\nAs set forth below, management has taken and will continue to take steps to remediate the identified material weaknesses.\n\nManagement’s Remediation Plan\n\nIn response to the material weakness discussed above, we plan to continue efforts already underway to remediate internal control over financial reporting, which include the following:\n\n•Enhance governance and reporting over the execution of these remediation action items, specifically the design, expansion, implementation and testing of certain controls related to the revenue, inventory and dealership purchasing processes;\n\n•Proceed with the design, implementation and testing of controls in the affected areas where appropriate; and\n\n•Enhance overall control environment through continued system enhancements and by further centralizing, standardizing and automating key processes within the revenue, inventory and dealership purchasing processes.\n\nManagement and our Audit Committee will monitor these specific remedial measures and the effectiveness of our overall control environment. Management will continue its remediation plan with respect to both of the material weaknesses described above by proceeding with the design, implementation and testing of mitigating controls in the affected areas where appropriate. Additionally, Management intends to enhance overall control environment through the following activities:\n\n•Continued system enhancements and upgrades within our information technology environment;\n\n•Implement a centralized store support center, which will allow for standardization and automation of manual decentralized processes to drive improvements in controls over the financial statement close process; account reconciliations, journal entries, revenue recognition, inventory, and the procure-to-pay process;\n\n•Implement and monitor compliance with a comprehensive delegation of authority policy; and\n\n•Continued hiring of highly skilled accounting and finance employees to further improve the overall control environment.\n\nA material weakness will not be considered remediated, however, until the applicable controls have been designed, implemented, and demonstrated to operate for a sufficient period of time as determined through management testing. We can provide no assurance as to when the material weaknesses will be fully remediated.\n\n25\n\nNotwithstanding the material weaknesses, management performed additional analyses and procedures and concluded that our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q fairly present in all material respects our financial condition and results of operations as of and for the periods presented.\n\nChanges in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting\n\nOther than the ongoing remediation efforts described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.\n\n26\n\nPART II - OTHER INFORMATION"}
