Business context and reporting period
TruGolf Holdings, Inc. filed this Form 8-K on February 23, 2024, reporting events occurring primarily on February 19, 2024.

Financial metrics and liquidity
This filing does not provide current revenue, profit, cash flow, margin, debt, or liquidity figures. Prior auditor reports for the predecessor company included an explanatory paragraph stating that substantial doubt existed about its ability to continue as a going concern because of liquidity conditions and the mandatory liquidation date. The filing does not provide an updated assessment of that risk.

The company reported no disagreements with any of the predecessor auditors concerning accounting principles, financial statement disclosures, or audit scope and procedures. It also reported no reportable events under Regulation S-K Item 304.
