rivulet entertainment to restate financials due to accounting error

Rivulet Entertainment, Inc. (OTC:RIVF) announced that its board of directors, in consultation with management and Astra Audit & Advisory, LLC, has concluded that certain previously issued financial statements should not be relied upon. This decision, made on May 30, follows the discovery of a non-cash accounting error related to a merger equity pre-payment.

The error concerns an approximately $27 million equity pre-payment made to Rivulet Media in anticipation of a pending merger as of June 30, 2024. The company, currently valued at $6.35 million in market capitalization, initially recorded this pre-payment as an "asset purchase deposit" on its Consolidated Balance Sheet instead of an offset to equity. This misstatement will be corrected by restating the financial statements included in Rivulet Entertainment’s Form 10-KT, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on November 11, 2024. The correction will reduce both total assets and equity by approximately $27 million but will not impact the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Rivulet Entertainment plans to amend the relevant filing to facilitate the restatement. This information is based on a press release statement. According to InvestingPro, the company maintains strong liquidity with a current ratio of 155.37, though its overall financial health score remains weak at 1.1.

Additionally, certain conditions and default provisions required for closing have been removed, though other terms from the original agreement remain unchanged. This modification represents a significant change in the financial aspects of the deal between the two companies. The reasons for these changes were not specified in the filing, leaving investors to consider the potential impact on Rivulet Entertainment’s financial commitments. The 8-K filing serves as a regulatory requirement to ensure investors are informed of significant corporate changes.
