Item 8. Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Algorhythm Holdings, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Algorhythm Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ (deficit) equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the nine month transition period from April 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the nine month transition period from April 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 2, the Company has incurred significant losses and needs to raise additional funds to meet its obligations and sustain its operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our auditswe are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Reserve for Sales Returns:
As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company estimates the sales value of goods to be returned from our allowance programs for goods returned from the customer for various reasons, whereby a reserve for sales returns is recorded based on historic return amounts, specific events as identified and management estimates.
We identified management’s estimate for sales returns as a critical audit matter due to the fact that there was significant judgment required by management with respect to measurement uncertainty, as the calculation of estimated sales returns includes assumptions such as historical product returns and margins experience used to predict future returns. This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in applying the procedures related to those assumptions.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the financial statements. We obtained an understanding and evaluated the design of controls over the Company’s estimates for variable consideration. Our procedures also included, among others, (1) evaluating the estimated sales return reserve based on historical sales returns experience; (2) evaluating the Company’s ability to accurately estimate the sales return reserve by comparing historically recorded reserves to the actual amount that was ultimately claimed by the retailers; and (3) evaluating the impact of returns and notification from customers regarding returns subsequent to year-end on the estimated sales returns reserve.
