Explanatory Note

 

On February 22, 2022, Moving iMage Technologies, Inc. (the “Company” or “MiT Inc.”) incorrectly filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Form 8-K”) regarding the material misstatement discussed in Item 4.02 below without soliciting input from CohnReznick LLP (“CohnReznick”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Original Form 8-K also did not properly describe the accounting for the July 7, 2021 merger of entities under common ownership between MiT Inc. and Moving iMage Technologies LLC (“MiT LLC”) . As such, the Company is filing this Form 8-K/A amending and restating the Original Form 8-K to provide the corrected accounting treatment for the transaction as disclosed in Item 4.02 below.

 

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

 

On February 17, 2022, CohnReznick informed the Company of a material misstatement in the comparative interim financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 (the “Restatement”) and that it will be required to restate its previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 that were previously included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 15, 2021 (the “September 2021 10-Q”). The Company’s previously filed financial statements for these periods should therefore no longer be relied upon.

 

In June 2020, members of MiT LLC created MiT Inc. to facilitate the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”). Upon formation of MiT Inc., the Company issued an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of common stock to members of MiT LLC . On July 7, 2021, the members of MiT LLC entered into an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) whereby they exchanged their membership interests in MiT LLC for an aggregate of 2,350,000 shares of common stock in MiT Inc. As a result of the Exchange Agreement, the members of MiT LLC obtained ownership of approximately 79%, or 4,452,334, of the outstanding share of common stock of MiT Inc. on July 7, 2021. MiT LLC (the entity where the Company conducts its business) became a wholly-owned subsidiary of MiT Inc. (the SEC registrant) and the legacy members of MiT LLC retained control over the Company’s business operations and management.

 

The Company is required to account for the above-described transaction as a merger of entities under common ownership (also known as a “pooling of interests”) in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company previously filed its September 2021 10-Q incorrectly reflecting the accounting for the transaction prospectively as a reverse merger, where MiT LLC was designated as the accounting acquiror. The Company plans to amend and restate its condensed consolidated financial statements included in its September 2021 10-Q to reflect the proper accounting for the merger of entities under common ownership. The effects of the Restatement will primarily impact (a) Total Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit) as of September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021 and the removal of Members’ Deficit on the June 30, 2021 balance sheet, (b) net loss and net loss per share for the three months ended September 30, 2020, and (c) condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

 

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company has discussed the pending restatement of the September 30, 2021 and 2020 interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements with CohnReznick. The Restatement to the aforementioned financial statements will be reflected in an amendment to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021 in the near future.

 

CohnReznick was provided a copy of the disclosures made in this Form 8-K/A and was requested to furnish us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with our statements in Item 4.02 of this Form 8-K/A so that it can be filed with the SEC. Attached to this Form 8-K/A as Exhibit 16.1 is a copy of CohnReznick’s letter, dated February 28, 2022.
