| Item 4.02 | Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Report. |
Following the filing of ExcelFin Acquisition Corp.’s (the “Company”) unaudited condensed financial statements for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2022, the Company concluded it should restate certain of its previously issued financial statements to correct clerical errors in the report. The Company’s previously filed financial statements that contained the error were reported in the Company Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.
On August 26, 2022, the Company’s management and the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) concluded that it is appropriate to restate unaudited quarterly financial statements as of and for the period ended June 30, 2022 (collectively, the “Relevant Period”). Considering such restatement, such financial statements, as well as the relevant portions of any communication which describes or are based on such financial statements, should no longer be relied upon. The Company will refile its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and for the period ended June 30, 2022, which will include the restated financial statements for the Relevant Period.
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon their evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2022, due to the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting resulting in a clerical error in the EDGAR document preparation and ineffective review controls over that process. The Company’s management and the Audit Committee have discussed the matters disclosed in this Current Report on Form 8-K pursuant to this Item 4.02 with the Independent Accountants.
