EXPLANATORY NOTE
Global Consumer Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”)
is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A to amend and restate the Company’s current report on Form 8-K originally filed with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 17, 2021, clarifying the date that the Company’s
management made its conclusion regarding the non-reliance as required by Item 4.02(a)(1).
Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued
Financial Statements or Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Report.
In connection with the preparation
of the Company’s financial statements as of September 30, 2021, the Company’s management, on November 11, 2021, determined
that it should restate its previously reported financial statements. The Company previously determined its shares of common stock subject
to possible redemption to be equal to the redemption value of $10.00 per share of common stock while also taking into consideration its
charter’s requirement that a redemption cannot result in net tangible assets being less than $5,000,001. Upon review of its financial
statements for the period ended September 30, 2021, the Company reevaluated the classification of its common stock and determined that
the shares of common stock issued during the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment
can be redeemed or become redeemable subject to the occurrence of future events considered outside the Company’s control under ASC
480-10-S99. Therefore, management concluded that the carrying value should include all shares of common stock subject to possible redemption,
resulting in the shares of common stock subject to possible redemption being classified as temporary equity in its entirety. As a result,
management has noted a reclassification adjustment related to temporary equity and permanent equity. This resulted in an adjustment to
the initial carrying value of the shares of common stock subject to possible redemption with the offset recorded to additional paid-in
capital (to the extent available), retained earnings (accumulated deficit) and shares of common stock. Therefore, the June 30, 2021
quarterly financial statements included in the Company's Form 10-Qs, as filed with the SEC on August 23, 2021, and the Company's balance
sheet included on the Company’s Form 8-K, as filed with the SEC on June 28, 2021, are impacted and cannot be relied upon.
In connection with the change
in presentation for the shares of common stock subject to redemption, the Company also restated its earnings per share calculation to
allocate net income (loss) proportionally evenly to shares of common stock subject to redemption and those that are not subject to redemption.
This presentation contemplates a Business Combination as the most likely outcome. There has been no change in the Company’s total
assets, liabilities or operating results.
Based upon their evaluation,
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of
September 30, 2021, due to the previous material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described in Item 4 and due
to the restatement of our June 30, 2021 financial statements and the Company's balance sheet included on the Company’s Form 8-K,
as filed with the SEC on June 22, 2021 (the “restatements”) regarding the classification of redeemable shares of common stock,
as described below, which combined, constitutes a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. In light of
this material weakness, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our unaudited interim financial statements
were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements
included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and
cash flows for the period presented.
Regarding the restatements
to the June 30, 2021 quarterly financial statements included in the Company's Form 10-Qs, as filed with the SEC on August 23, 2021, as
well as the Company's balance sheet included on the Company’s Form 8-K, as filed with the SEC on June 22 2021, certain redemption
provisions not solely within the control of the Company require shares of common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside
of permanent equity. The Company had previously classified a portion of the shares of common stock in permanent equity. The Company restated
its financial statements to classify all shares of common stock issued to the public shareholders as temporary equity and any related
impact, as the threshold in its charter would not change the nature of the underlying shares of common stock as redeemable and thus would
be required to be disclosed outside of permanent equity.
It is noted that the non-cash
adjustments to the financial statement do not impact the amounts previously reported for our cash and cash equivalents or total assets.
In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our unaudited interim financial
statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The Company’s management
and the Audit Committee have discussed the matters disclosed in this Current Report on Form 8-K pursuant to this Item 4.02 with Marcum
Bernstein & Pinchuk LLP the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
