SmartKem, Inc. (the “Company”) is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2022 by the prescribed due date without unreasonable effort or expense because of the circumstances described below.
As reported in the Company’s Item 4.02 Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 15, 2022, the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company concluded, after discussion with the Company’s management, that the Company’s financial statements inaccurately presented unrealized gains and losses from changes in exchange rates in its consolidated statements of cash flows and, as of and for the quarterly and annual periods ended from March 31, 2021 through March 31, 2022 (collectively, the “Non-Reliance Periods”) included in the associated 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, Form 10-Qs for the periods ended March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021, September 30, 2021 and March 31, 2022, filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), (1) should no longer be relied upon due to errors in the presentation of gains and losses from changes in exchange rates in the consolidated statements of cash flows, and (2) will require restatement. As a result, the Company will file amendments to its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and to its Form 10-Qs for the periods ended September 30, 2021 and March 31, 2022 (including comparative information for March 31, 2021) to restate the previously issued financial statements, with restated comparatives for June 30, 2021 also restated in the Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2022. The Company expects to file with the SEC such amendments on or prior to August 22, 2022, which is the first business day following the fifth calendar day after the prescribed due date for the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The Company intends to file the Quarterly Report immediately following the filing of such amendments.
