Item 4.02. Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related
Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
CONX Corp. (the "Company") historically classified a portion of the Company's
shares of redeemable Class A common stock (the "public shares") as permanent
equity to maintain stockholders' equity in excess of $5,000,000 on the basis
that the Company will consummate its initial business combination only if the
Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001. In connection with the
preparation of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly
period ended September 30, 2021 (the "Original Form 10-Q"),
management re-evaluated the Company's application of Accounting Standards
Codification 480-10-S99 with respect to the accounting classification of public
shares and determined that the public shares include redemption provisions that
require classification of all public shares as temporary equity, regardless of
the minimum net tangible asset requirement discussed above. After further
consideration, subsequent to the filing of the Original Form 10-Q,
management re-evaluated the impact of the reclassification of the public shares
on the Company's previously issued financial statements and, in consultation
with the audit committee of the Company's board of directors (the "Audit
Committee"), concluded that such reclassification was material with respect to
certain of the Company's previously issued financial statements, as further
described below.
On January 20, 2022, the Company's management and the Audit Committee concluded
that (i) the Company's previously issued audited financial statements as of
December 31, 2020 and for the period from August 26, 2020 (inception) through
December 31, 2020, as restated in Amendment No. 1 to the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K as of December 31, 2020 and for the period from August 26, 2020
(inception) through December 31, 2020 (as amended, the "Form 10-K/A"), (ii) the
Company's previously issued audited balance sheet as of as of November 3, 2020,
as restated in the Form 10-K/A, (iii) the Company's previously issued unaudited
condensed financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31,
2021, included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly
period ended March 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC") on May 24, 2021, (iv) the Company's previously issued unaudited
condensed financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June
30, 2021, included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarterly period ended June 30, 2021, filed with the SEC on August 13, 2021, and
(v) Note 1 to the Company's previously issued unaudited condensed financial
statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021,
included in the Original Form 10-Q, respectively (the "Non-Reliance Periods"),
should no longer be relied upon and should be restated to correct the
classification error described above. Similarly, the related Report of
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on the Company's previously issued
financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and for the period from August 26,
2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, included in the Form 10-K/A, should
no longer be relied upon.
The previously issued financial statements for the Non-Reliance Periods will be
restated in amendments to (i) the Form 10-K/A, and (ii) the Original Form 10-Q
(collectively, the "Amended Reports"). The restatement is expected to have no
impact on the Company's liquidity or cash position.
As a result of the factors described above, the Company's management has
concluded that a material weakness existed in the Company's internal control
over financial reporting and that the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures were not effective. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such
that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the
financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely
basis. The material weakness and the Company's remediation plan with respect to
such material weakness will be described in more detail in the Amended Reports.
The Audit Committee and management have discussed the matters disclosed pursuant
to this Item 4.02(a) with WithumSmith+Brown, PC, the Company's independent
accountant.
