Item 4.01 |
Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant. |
On June 27, 2019, the Board of Directors of GreenBox POS (the “Company”) engaged Hall & Company Certified Public Accounts, Inc. (“Hall”) as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018.
During the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and during the subsequent interim period from January 1, 2019 through June 27, 2019 neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted Hall regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Hall concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement” or a “reportable event”, each as defined in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and 304(a)(1)(v), respectively.
Item 4.02 |
Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review. |
On June 27, 2019, the sole officers and directors, Ben Errez and Fredi Nisan (the “Management”), of the Company, concluded that the following previously filed financial statements of the Company should not be relied upon:
● |
The Company’s unaudited financial statements for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2018, contained in the Company’s: (i) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 21, 2018; and (ii) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A, originally filed with the SEC on September 19, 2018 (the “Q1 Report”). |
|
● |
The Company’s unaudited financial statements for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2018, contained in the Company’s: (i) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, originally filed with the SEC on September 6, 2018; (ii) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A, originally filed with the SEC on September 10, 2018; and (iii) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A, originally filed with the SEC on March 13, 2019 (the “Q2 Report”). |
|
● |
The Company’s unaudited financial statements for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2018, contained in the Company’s: (i) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, originally filed with the SEC on November 21, 2018; and (ii) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A, originally filed with the SEC on March 13, 2019 (the “Q3 Report”). |
|
● |
The Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, originally filed with the SEC on April 16, 2019 (the “2018 Report”, and together with the Q1 Report, the Q2 Report and the Q3 Report, the “Reports”). |
The conclusion to prevent future reliance on the Reports resulted from the determination by the Management that the Reports failed to properly account for: (i) the conversion of $144,445 to 144,445,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, issued to Mr. Frank Yuan, pursuant to a line of credit provided by Mr. Frank Yuan to the Company (the “Shares Conversion”); and (ii) the April 11, 2018 Share Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) pursuant to which GreenBox POS LLC, a Washington limited liability company (“PrivateCo”) majority owned and entirely controlled by the Management, acquired 144,445,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing approximately 90% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Specifically, the Company has determined that:
i |
The Company misstated April 12, 2018 to be the date of the Shares Conversion, instead of March 29, 2018, and thus did not account for the Shares Conversion in the Q1 Report, which resulted in the incorrect disclosure, on the Q1 Report, of the: (i) amount of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock; (ii) shareholders’ deficit; (iii) net cash from investing and finance activities; and (iv) total liabilities. |
|
ii |
In accordance with FASB ASC 805, reverse merger accounting, with the consolidated financial results of both the Company and PrivateCo, should have been recorded in the Q2, Q3, and the 2018 Reports, based on the fact that the Company’s controlling shareholder is PrivateCo, and because PrivateCo is majority owned and entirely controlled by the Management. As a result, the Q2, Q3, and the 2018 Reports should have reflected the combined balance sheets, income statements and cash flow statements of PrivateCo and the Company. |
The Company will, as soon as is practicable, make the appropriate adjustments to the Reports by filing amendments to the Reports with the SEC which will include restated consolidated financial statements, notes thereto, and any other appropriate revisions.
The Management discussed the matters described in this Item 4.02 with representatives of Hall, the Company’s newly appointed independent registered public accounting firm.
