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

 

American Virtual Cloud Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) recently became aware, through discussions with the Company’s prior independent registered public accounting firm, Marcum LLP (“Marcum”), that its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on June 29, 2020 (the “Form 10-K”), had inadvertently been filed without the consent of Marcum. Marcum had audited the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 that were included in the Form 10-K, relating solely to periods during which the Company was a “special purpose acquisition company” (then named Pensare Acquisition Corp.), prior to the completion of the Company’s initial business combination in April 2020. The Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 that were included in the Form 10-K were audited by, and included in the Form 10-K with the consent of, UHY LLP, the Company’s current independent registered public accounting firm.

 

Since Marcum’s consent with respect to the audited financial statements of Pensare Acquisition Corp. for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was not obtained, on February 3, 2021 Marcum advised the Company that disclosure should be made to prevent future reliance on the previously issued financial statements of Pensare Acquisition Corp. for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and on February 8, 2021, after further discussions with Marcum, the Company’s management determined that such financial statements should not be relied upon. The Company intends to file those financial statements in an amendment to the Form 10-K, with proper authorization from Marcum, as soon as practicable.

 

The Company has discussed with Marcum the matters disclosed in this filing, and has included as an exhibit to this Form 8-K a letter from Marcum with respect thereto.

 

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
