  The company filed an amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A to disclose a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

• Accounting Error Identified

  The material weakness stemmed from an improper application of FASB ASC 842 (Leases), which led to a material overstatement of right-of-use assets and other income.

• Remediation Plan Implemented

  Management has remediated the material weakness by correctly applying FASB ASC 842 and plans to engage additional experts for complex accounting interpretations in the future.

• No Financial Restatement Required

  Despite the identified material weakness, the company confirmed that additional analyses ensured the consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and no material misstatements were identified, thus no restatement is required.

This amended 10-K is important as it reveals a material weakness in the company's internal control over financial reporting that was inadvertently omitted from the original filing. While the company states that no material misstatements were ultimately identified in the financial statements and a remediation plan is in place, the initial oversight and the existence of such a weakness highlight a risk in financial reporting processes. Investors should monitor future filings to ensure the remediation efforts are effective and no further control deficiencies are reported.
