Item 4.02. Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related
Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
On January 8, 2022, the audit committee of the board of directors of Americas
Technology Acquisition Corp. (the "Company") concluded, after discussion with
the Company's management, that (i) the Company's audited balance sheet as of
December 17, 2020 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 December
23, 2020, (ii) the Company's audited financial statements as of December 31,
2020 contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on
March 31, 2021, (iii) the Company's unaudited financial statements as of March
31, 2021 contained in the Company's Current Report on Form 10-Q filed with the
SEC on July 8, 2021, (iv) the Company's unaudited financial statements as of
June 30, 2021 contained in the Company's Current Report on Form 10-Q filed with
the SEC on August 12, 2021 and (v) the Company's unaudited financial statements
as of September 30, 2021 contained in the Company's Current Report on Form 10-Q
filed with the SEC on November 16, 2021 should no longer be relied upon due to
the reclassification of all of the Company's ordinary shares as temporary
equity.
In light of the above, 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 during the period of time the error described above persisted, due to
a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting in analyzing
complex financial instruments. 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 Annual Report on Form
10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the Company's Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q/A for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021 and
September 30, 2021, and accordingly, management believes that the financial
statements to be included in such reports will present fairly in all material
respects the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows
for the periods presented.
The Company has discussed the matters disclosed in this Current Report on Form
8-K with its independent registered public accounting firm, WithumSmith+Brown,
PC.
