Explanatory
Note
This
Amendment No. 2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K/A (“Amendment No. 2 to 8-K/A”) is being filed by SPK
Acquisition Corp. (“SPK” or the “Company”) solely for the purpose of supplementing Item
4.02 of that certain Current Report on Form 8-K originally filed by SPK with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
on May 24, 2022 (the “Original Form 8-K”), for the purpose of restating the Company’s balance sheet as
of June 10, 2021 (the “Post-IPO Balance Sheet”). The Post-IPO Balance Sheet was filed with the SEC on June
16, 2021 on a Current Report on Form 8-K in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”).
Item
4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
On
February 24, 2022, SPK filed its Form 10-K for the annual period ending December 31, 2021 (the “10-K”), which
included in Note 9 — Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements (“Note 9”), a discussion of the revision
to a portion of the Company’s previously issued financial statements.
As
described in Note 9, in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, “Materiality,” and SEC Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial
Statements” (the “SEC Bulletins”) the Company identified errors on the Post-IPO Balance Sheet.
Management
corrected the error by revising all shares of Common Stock subject to redemption as temporary 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), accumulated deficit and shares of Common Stock. The Company has corrected such error
by adjusting its balance sheet and classified all public shares of Common Stock as redeemable. These changes were reflected in
the Company’s Annual Report as filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Management
held discussions about the matters disclosed in this filing with UHY LLP (“UHY”), the Company’s independent
registered public accounting firm, and our audit committee was informed of this discussion. The conclusion of non-reliance of
the financial statements was reached on May 18, 2022, and the Original Form 8-K was filed on May 24, 2022. The Company’s
management also decided that the Company’s Post-IPO Balance Sheet should be restated to reflect that all public shares of
SPK should be reclassified as redeemable.
Effect
of Restatements
The
Post-IPO Balance Sheet is hereby superseded by Exhibit 99.1 to this Amendment No. 2 to 8-K/A.
Exhibit
99.1 to this 8-K/A reflects the financial position of the Company as of June 10, 2021, and does not reflect events occurring after
that date or modifies or updates disclosures in any way other than as required to reflect the restatement described herein as
of that date. Accordingly, this 8-K/A should be read in conjunction with the multiple additional filings we have made with the
SEC since that date.
The
Company’s management has discussed the matters disclosed in this Amendment No. 2 to 8-K/A pursuant to this Item 4.02 with
UHY.
