Item 4.02. Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

 

On April 12, 2021, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) released a public statement (the “Public Statement”) informing market participants that warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) may require classification as a liability of the entity measured at fair value, with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings. American Acquisition Opportunity Inc. (the “Company”) had previously classified its private placement warrants and public warrants (collectively, the “Warrants”) as equity in prior public filings. For a full description of the Company’s warrants, please refer to the Company’s final prospectus filed in connection with its initial public offering (“IPO”) on March 17, 2021 (“Final Prospectus”). At issuance on March 17, 2021, the Warrants were accounted for as equity within the Company’s balance sheet.

 

On October 18, 2021, the audit committee of the board of directors of the Company concluded, after discussion with the Company’s management and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, BF Borgers CPA, PC, that (a) the Company’s audited balance sheet as of March 17, 2021 filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 29, 2021 (the “Form 8-K”), and (b) the Company’s quarterly unaudited financial statements and related footnotes, as of, and for the periods ended, March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021 (the “Quarterly Reports”), should no longer be relied upon due to changes required for alignment with the SEC’s Public Statement.

 

The Company intends to file amendments to its Quarterly Reports for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021 (the “Affected Periods”) reflecting this reclassification of the Warrants.  The adjustments to the financial statement items for the Affected Periods will be set forth through expanded disclosure in the financial statements included in the amended filings, including further describing the restatement and its impact on previously reported amounts.  Going forward, unless the Company amends the terms of its warrant agreement, the Company expects to continue to classify its warrants as liabilities, which would require the Company to incur the cost of measuring the fair value of the warrant liabilities, and which may have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.

 

The Company does not expect any of the above changes will have any impact on its cash position and cash held in the trust account.
