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

  

On November 19, 2021, the audit committee of the board of directors of African Gold Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) concluded, after discussion with the Company’s management and with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Marcum LLP, that (i) the Company’s audited balance sheet as of March 2, 2021 filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 12, 2021, (ii) the Company’s unaudited financial statements as of March 8, 2021 contained in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on June 2, 2021, and (iii) the Company’s unaudited financial statements as of June 30, 2021 contained in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 16, 2021, should no longer be relied upon due to the reclassification of all of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares as temporary equity.

 

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 September 30, 2021, due to the material weakness in analyzing complex financial instruments including the proper accounting for warrants as liabilities and the proper classification of redeemable Class A ordinary shares as temporary equity. In light of this material weakness, the Company performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that the Company’s unaudited interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Company will reflect the restatements of the Company’s financial statements identified above in Note 2 of the financial statements to be included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2021, and accordingly, management believes that the financial statements that will be included in such report present fairly in all material respects the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
