8-K: Nitches, Inc. Declares Prior Financial Statements Unreliable, Announces Restatement

Nitches, Inc. announced that its Board of Directors has concluded that financial statements for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, and potentially certain quarterly reports, can no longer be relied upon due to material misstatements, necessitating a restatement.

Summary

• The Board of Directors concluded on July 10, 2025, that financial statements for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, including potentially certain quarterly reports filed for that year (collectively, the Prior Financial Statements), may no longer be relied upon.
• This determination was based on the discovery of errors in the treatment of non-cash interest, changes in derivative liabilities, and valuation of stock issuances.
• Management believes these errors may have resulted in material misstatements in those periods.
• The Company has directed management to restate the Prior Financial Statements to correct the identified errors.
• The restated financial statements are expected to be filed as an amendment to the Company's Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2023, and as an amendment to the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for any affected quarters, as soon as practicable.
• During this restatement process, RBSM LLP, the newly appointed independent registered public accounting firm, will finalize its audit of the restated periods.
• Investors and other users of the Company's financial statements should no longer rely on the Prior Financial Statements.
• Until the restatements are completed and filed, the Company's financial reporting for the affected periods is considered unaudited and unaudited interim information.

Industry Context

This announcement highlights a company-specific issue related to internal financial controls and reporting accuracy, rather than a broader industry trend. While not indicative of systemic industry problems, such restatements can erode investor confidence in the transparency and reliability of financial disclosures across the market, particularly for smaller public companies.

Corporate Governance

Stakeholder Impact

• Shareholders: Cannot rely on previously issued financial statements, leading to uncertainty regarding the Company's past performance and financial health, which could negatively impact share price and investment decisions.
• Investors: Advised not to rely on prior financial statements, increasing investment risk and potentially deterring new investment until restated financials are available and audited.
• Creditors: May reassess the Company's creditworthiness based on the unreliability of historical financial data.
• Regulatory Authorities (SEC): The filing itself is a regulatory disclosure, and the restatement process will be under SEC scrutiny.

Next Steps

• Restate the financial statements for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, and potentially certain quarterly reports.
• File amendments to the Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q as soon as practicable.
• RBSM LLP will finalize its audit of the restated periods.
