Item 4.02. Non-Reliance on Previously issued Financial Statements
or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review
On April 12, 2021, the staff
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC Staff”) issued a public statement entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting
and Reporting Considerations for Warrants issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “SEC
Staff Statement”). In the SEC Staff Statement, the SEC Staff expressed its view that certain terms and conditions common to SPAC
warrants may require the warrants to be classified as liabilities on a SPAC’s financial statements as opposed to equity. Adara Acquisition
Corp. (the “Company”) previously accounted for its public and private warrants (collectively, “Warrants”) as equity
in the Company’s audited balance sheet as of February 11, 2021, filed as an exhibit to its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February
18, 2021 (the “Initial 8-K”).
The Company reassessed
its accounting for its Warrants issued in May 2021 in light of the SEC Staff’s published views. Based on this reassessment,
management determined that the Warrants should be classified as liabilities measured at fair value upon issuance, with subsequent
changes in fair value reported in the Company’s statement of operations each reporting period. Therefore, on May 20, 2021, the
Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Audit Committee”), concluded that the Company’s
previously issued balance sheet as of February 11, 2021 should be restated because of a misapplication in the guidance around
accounting for the Warrants and should no longer be relied upon. The previously issued audited balance sheet will be corrected in
the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2021. The Audit Committee and management have discussed the
matters disclosed in this Item 4.02 with WithumSmith+Brown, PC, the Company’s independent registered public accounting
firm.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto
duly authorized.
