Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on
Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
On August 10, 2021, the Board
of Directors (the “Board”) of the Registrant was notified by Art Abraham, PCT’s CFO (“Abraham”)
and after consultation with its independent registered public accounting firm, Sadler, Gibb & Associates, LLC (“Sadler”),
that the Board determined the previously filed financial statements of the Registrant should not be relied upon:
|
|
(1)
|
The Registrant’s unaudited financial statement for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020, contained in the Registrant’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 31, 2020 (the “Q2 2020 Report”);

Abraham informed the Board that,
in August 2021, information was found regarding previously issued warrants to a debt holder which should have been accounted for as cancelled
along with the settlement of all outstanding debt with such holder back in May of 2020. Abraham then informed Sadler of his findings,
which was:
In May of 2020 the Registrant
entered into a debt settlement agreement with one of its debt holders, which settled all debt and warrants held by such holder. However,
due to a misunderstanding of the facts and circumstances related to this settlement agreement, The Company did not reflect the warrants
as settled at that time. In addition, the debt holder inadvertently conveyed to Sadler, in its annual audit confirmation letter dated
March 11, 2021, that the warrants were still outstanding and not cancelled.
On a call and subsequently in
writing in August 2021 the debt holder confirmed to Abraham and Sadler that the annual confirmation was wrong, and the warrants should
have been cancelled effective the second quarter ended June 30, 2020. Due to the provisions of the warrants, they are being accounted
for as derivative liabilities.
Correcting this error will result
in a three and six-month 2nd Quarter 10-Q adjustment to reflect the following:
|
|
1.
|
$7,025,392 REDUCTION in Derivative Liability and Accumulated Deficit
