Sidus Space, Inc. (CIK 1879726) has told investors that its audited accounts for 2024 and 2025 and its quarterly accounts for the first half of 2026 should no longer be relied upon, according to a Form 8-K filed with the SEC on 6 November 2026.
The filing states that the company's audit committee and management reached the conclusion on 2 November 2026. It covers the annual reports on Form 10-K for 2024 and 2025 and the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the periods to 31 March and 30 June 2026. (Form 8-K, Item 4.02, 6 Nov 2026)
The company identifies four errors. It says 3,409,946 warrants issued on 17 December 2024 should have been classed as liabilities rather than equity, with an initial liability of about $4.7 million. It says its LS-2 satellite was not ready for use because communications could not be established, so depreciation should not have been recorded and a full impairment of about $4.0 million should have been taken in the first quarter of 2026. (Form 8-K, 6 Nov 2026)
It also says capitalised prototype costs should have been expensed as research and development, and that about $1.65 million of customer contract revenue should have been deferred until mission operations begin. (Form 8-K, 6 Nov 2026)
On preliminary, unaudited figures, the company expects net loss for 2024 to rise by about $12.5 million and net loss for 2025 to fall by about $5.5 million. It expects stockholders' equity at 30 June 2026 to be about $15.0 million lower. (Form 8-K, 6 Nov 2026)
The company expects to conclude that one or more material weaknesses existed in its internal controls, and that it intends to restate the accounts as soon as reasonably practicable. It lists a possible delay to its third-quarter report and Nasdaq listing compliance among the risks. (Form 8-K, 6 Nov 2026)
The filings do not state when the restated accounts will be filed or what view the company's auditor has taken. Loro has made no approach to the company. Figures are as reported in Sidus Space's SEC filings.
