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

On April 12, 2021, the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the SEC issued a public statement (the “SEC Staff Statement”) on accounting and reporting considerations for warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”). The SEC Staff Statement discussed “certain features of warrants issued in SPAC transactions” that “may be common across many entities.” The SEC Staff Statement indicated that when one or more of such features is included in a warrant, the warrant “should be classified as a liability measured at fair value, with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings.” Specifically, the SEC Staff Statement, among other things, focused on certain settlement terms and provisions related to certain tender offers following a business combination, which terms are similar to those contained in the warrant agreement of Eucrates Biomedical Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”).

In consideration of the SEC Staff Statement and upon further consideration of the rules and guidance, management of the Company concluded that the public warrants and private placement warrants issued in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (the “Warrants”) are precluded from equity classification. As a result, the Warrants should be recorded as liabilities on the balance sheet and measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations.

As a result of the foregoing, on June 17, 2021, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Audit Committee”) and management of the Company concluded that its financial statements as of and for the periods ended October 27, 2020 and December 31, 2020 included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021 (collectively, the “Original Financial Statements”) should no longer be relied upon and are to be restated in order to correct the classification error.

Consequently, the Company today is announcing that it will restate its Original Financial Statements to reflect the change in accounting treatment (the “Restatement”). The Company intends to file a Form 10-K/A for the period ended December 31, 2020 to reflect the Restatement subsequent to the filing of this Form 8-K.

The Audit Committee and management of the Company have discussed the matters disclosed pursuant to this Item 4.02 with Marcum LLP, the Company’s independent accountant.

The Company’s management has concluded that in light of the classification 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.

The Company’s accounting for the Warrants as components of equity instead of as derivative liabilities is not expected to have any effect on the Company’s previously reported investments held in trust, cash flows or cash.
