SECTION 4 – MATTERS RELATED TO ACCOUNTANTS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review
On February 3, 2025, the Board of Directors of Body and Mind Inc. (the “Company”) determined that certain of the Company’s previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements as noted below should no longer be relied upon.
The financial statements that should no longer be relied upon are as follows:
| 1. | the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three and six months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023 (the “Q2 Financials”), which were included in the Form 10-Q that we filed with the SEC on March 25, 2024; and |
|
|
|
| 2. | the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2024 and 2023 (the “Q3 Financials”), which were included in the Form 10-Q that we filed with the SEC on June 20, 2024. |
During the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2024, certain accounting treatment relating to a variable interest entity were discussed extensively between the Company’s management, external experts, and Sadler, Gibb & Associates, LLC, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The disposition of a certain entity by the Company was deconsolidated for the Q2 Financials and the Q3 Financials. Greater discussion and scrutiny during the annual audit revealed that this entity meets the criteria of a variable interest entity and the Company ought to have consolidated the entity as an asset held for sale. The Company also discovered that management fee income from one of its investees was not properly recorded in the Q2 Financials and the Q3 Financials. The Board of Directors has determined that these misstatements, noted above, were material on a cumulative basis. Accordingly, these previously issued financial statements should no longer be relied on.
We intend to file as soon as reasonably possible, amendments to the following quarterly reports in order to restate the condensed consolidated financial statements included in such filings:
| 1. | the Form 10-Q, which was filed on March 25, 2024, in order to restate the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three and six months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023; and |
|
|
|
| 2. | the Form 10-Q, which was filed on June 20, 2024, in order to restate the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2024 and 2023. |

SECTION 8 – OTHER EVENTS
Item 8.01 Other Events
On February 5, 2025, the Company issued the news release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 providing an update on financial reporting that certain accounting treatment relating to a variable interest entity resulted in the disposition of that entity by the Company being deconsolidated for the financial statements for the three and six month periods ended January 31, 2024 and 2023 (Q2 2024) and the financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended April 30, 2024 and 2023 (Q3 2024), which the Company ought to have consolidated the entity as an asset held for sale. In addition, the Company also discovered that management fee income from one of the investees was not properly recorded in the Q2 2024 financial statements and the Q3 2024 financial statements. The Board of Directors has determined that these misstatements were material on a cumulative basis. Accordingly, these previously issued financial statements should no longer be relied upon.
