Explanatory Note

 

Arrowroot Acquisition Corp. (the “Company,” “we”, “our” or “us”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K, originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 17, 2023, to describe the accounting error the Company, in consultation with its advisors, identified in the previously issued financial statements as of and for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2023 and the effect of the accounting error on the Company’s financial statements.

 

 

Item 4.02. Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements.

 

The management of the Company, in consultation with its advisors, identified an accounting error in the previously issued financial statements as of and for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2023. On August 14, 2023, the Company’s audit committee concluded, after discussion with the Company’s management and its advisors, that the Company’s unaudited financial statements as of and for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2023 included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 15, 2023 should no longer be relied upon due to the error described below and should be restated.

 

In connection with the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended June 30, 2023, management identified a presentation error made in its March 31, 2023 condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company determined that the value of the convertible promissory notes were incorrectly adjusted to fair value instead of being booked at par. The Company determined that, as a result, there should be a reversal of the change in value of the convertible notes as previously disclosed. The Company determined that the convertible notes required bifurcation under ASC 815-15-25-7. Management evaluated the conversion option contained within the convertible notes and determined their value to be de minimis. As a result, the Company recorded the value of the convertible notes at par.

 

In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, “Materiality,” and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements”; the Company evaluated the changes and determined that the related impact was material to previously presented financial statements.

 

 

The impact of the restatement on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements is reflected in the following table:

The Company’s management has concluded that in light of the error described above, a material weakness exists in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2023. 

 

The Company’s management and audit committee have discussed the matters disclosed in this Current Report on Form 8-K pursuant to this Item 4.02 with its independent registered public accounting firm.
