Explanatory Note

 

Vistas Media Acquisition Company Inc. (“Company” or “VMAC”) hereby amends its Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on August 17, 2020, as set forth in this Amendment No. 1 on Current Report on Form 8-K/A, to amend and restate its audited balance sheet as of August 11, 2020.

              We are filing this Amendment to address matters discussed in the SEC staff’s recent communications with certain independent registered public accounting firms regarding the classification of the stockholders’ equity of a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (“SPAC”) as permanent equity, which the Company has determined should be reclassified as temporary equity. In the SEC’s informal guidance, the SEC staff noted to certain independent registered public accounting firms that stockholders’ equity of a SPAC should be classified as temporary equity, as compared to the historical classification of SPAC stockholders’ equity as permanent equity, which has been the practice of most SPACs, including us. We had previously classified stockholders’ equity as permanent equity.

              After considering the SEC staff’s recent communications with certain independent registered public accounting firms, we have concluded that there are misstatements in our previously filed financial statements. As such, our management determined that our disclosure controls and procedures as of August 11, 2020 were not effective solely as a result of its classification of stockholders’ equity as permanent equity.

              The change in accounting for stockholders’ equity did not have any impact on our liquidity, cash flows, revenues or costs of operating our business and the other non-cash adjustments to the financial statements. The change in accounting for stockholders’ equity does not impact the amounts previously reported for the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, investments held in trust account, operating expenses or total cash flows from operations for any of the reported periods.
