EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 to Current Report on Form 8-K of Nova Vision Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) amends and restates the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, dated June 30, 2023, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 7, 2023. This amended Form 8-K is updated to (a) clarify that it was the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, MaloneBailey, LLP (“MaloneBailey”), that notified the Company that the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023 should be restated and should no longer be relied upon and (b) include Exhibit 7.1, correspondence from MaloneBailey regarding the non-reliance on previously issued financial statements.
Item 4.02. Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
On June 19, 2023, MaloneBailey, the independent registered public accounting firm of Nova Vision Acquisition Corp., notified the Company that the Company’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 and 2022, and the related statements of operations, statement of changes in shareholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows (the “Financial Statements”) included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”) should be restated and should no longer be relied upon.
Subsequent to the Company’s filing of the Form 10-K, MaloneBailey discovered that there are errors in the original valuation of instruments in the units issued by the Company in its initial public offering, and MaloneBailey determined that the errors required adjustment of Financial Statements. This led to a change in the initial fair value allocation of public shares and a change in the accretion of carrying value to redemption value. MaloneBailey also determined that a change in the value of net cash used in investing and financing activities is necessary due to redemption of ordinary shares of the Company.
The Company and MaloneBailey determined that the reporting effects of the above errors had a material impact to the Financial Statements included in the Form 10-K. As a result, the Financial Statements need to be restated, and the Company filed an Amendment no. 1 to the Form 10-K ( “Amendment No.1”) with the SEC on June 30, 2023. Subsequently on July 28, 2023, the Company received a comment letter from the SEC relating to Amendment No.1, in response to which the Company further amended and restated the Form 10-K by filing an Amendment No.2 to the Form 10-K, to correct a scrivener’s error contained in the audit opinion issued by MaloneBailey and revise note 3 to the financial statements to discuss the restatement of net cash used in investing and financing activities relating to the ordinary shares redemption.
On August 14, 2023, the Company further filed an Amendment No.3 to the Form 10-K in response to a comment from the SEC, to include a revised certification of principal executive officer and principal financial officer pursuant to Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-14(a), as adopted pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
The Company’s management concluded that in light of the errors mentioned above, a material weakness existed in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, and the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2022.
The Company’s management and its Board of Directors have discussed the matters disclosed in this Current Report on Form 8-K pursuant to this Item 4.02 with MaloneBailey.
