Financial Metrics

Material Change
- On May 14, 2024, the Audit Committee appointed GBQ Partners LLC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2024, subject to customary client acceptance procedures.
- The filing states that the new firm completed acceptance procedures and executed an engagement letter on May 22, 2024.
- The filing contains an apparent inconsistency: it identifies GBQ as the appointed firm but states that “RBSM” completed the acceptance procedures and issued the independence letter. The filing text does not clearly explain whether RBSM is a reference to GBQ or a different accounting firm.
- Upexi stated that, during the two most recent fiscal years and through May 22, 2024, it had not consulted with GBQ regarding any matter involving a disagreement or reportable event under Regulation S-K Items 304(a)(1)(iv) or (v).
Guidance, Risks, and Unusual Items
No financial guidance, outlook, management operating commentary, contingencies, or specific business risks are provided. The principal unusual item is the apparent discrepancy between GBQ and RBSM in the description of the new auditor’s acceptance and independence procedures.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the identity of the appointed independent registered public accounting firm and whether the reference to RBSM is a drafting error.
- Confirm whether the engagement covers the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2024 as stated.
- Review subsequent filings for any auditor clarification, amended Form 8-K, audit report, or disclosures regarding disagreements or reportable events.
