☒	(c)	The accountant’s statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

 

PART III — NARRATIVE

 

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

As noted in the Form 6-K filed by Siyata Mobile Inc. (the “Company” or “Siyata”) on March 27, 2023 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), Marcum, LLP (“Marcum”) notified Siyata that Marcum had resigned as the Company’s independent certified public accounting firm effective as of March 21, 2023. Marcum’s resignation as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm was accepted by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company as of March 21, 2023.

 

Marcum served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm since May 24, 2022. However, Marcum did not audit the Company’s financial statements for any year, including the year ended December 31, 2022, and did not perform a review of the Company’s interim financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 but did review the Company’s interim financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

 

On March 21, 2023, the Company engaged Barzily & Co. (“Barzily”) as its new independent registered public accountant for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. Barzily has applied to register with the Canadian Public Accountability Board (“CPAB”), which like the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in the United States, oversees public accounting firms that audit Canadian reporting issuers, but has not yet had its application accepted by the CPAB.

 

Barzily is currently performing the audit of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, but due to its late start, will not be in a position to sign and deliver its audit report to the Company by April 30, 2023. The letter from Barzily to the Company is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

 

The Company intends to file the Form 20-F no later than May 15, 2023, the fifteenth calendar day after the prescribed due date.

 

 

PART IV — OTHER INFORMATION 

 

(1)	Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification

 

Gerald Bernstein		514		824-7357
(Name)		(Area Code)		(Telephone Number)

 

(2)

Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s). ☒ Yes  ☐ No

 

(3)	Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? ☒ Yes  ☐ No
	If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

 

Siyata’s results of operations for the fourth quarter and full year-ended December 31, 2022 will be significantly different than its results of operations from the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year due to: (i) the write off damaged inventory that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2022 as reported in the Company’s Form 6-K filed with the SEC on December 30, 2022, which, although covered by insurance, no insurance proceeds were received in that period, (ii) the changes in fair values of the warrant liability, (iii) the change in fair value of the promissory notes that were outstanding and paid off in the fourth quarter of 2022, and (iv) the accounting for a capital raise that occurred on October 12, 2022. The Company is unable, at this time, to quantify the changes in the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the prior year.

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

This Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other Federal securities laws.

Re: Audit of Financial Statements

 

Dear Mr. Seelenfreund:

 

In accordance with the notification to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 12b-25 of Siyata Mobile Inc.’s (the “Company”) inability to timely file its annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022, the factors described in the succeeding paragraph make impractical the submission of our report as of a date which will permit timely filing of your 2022 annual report with the Commission.

 

The Company’s Form 20-F is required to include the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. Due to the fact that this accounting firm was engaged in late March 2023, the audit report for the year ended December 31, 2022 has yet to be completed and is not expected to be completed by April 30, 2023.

 

You are authorized to attach a copy of this letter as an exhibit to Form 12b-25 to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Very truly yours
